The effect of SKF 89976-A, a lipophilic non-substrate inhibitor of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter, on the release of radioactive GABA and D-aspartate has been studied. Neuronal cultures from 8 day old chick embryos, grown for six days, served as a model. The cultures were incubated with [3H] D-aspartate and [14C] GABA with the subsequent addition of high or low concentrations of SKF 89976-A. Finally the cultures were exposed to differently composed media for either 30 or 300 seconds. The release was quantified, using liquid scintillation counting. The efflux of [3H] D-aspartate and [14C] GABA was increased by [K+] and time, and a minimum value was obtained at [Ca2+] 1.05 mM. The release of both [3H] D-aspartate and [14C] GABA was inhibited by SKF 89976-A. The obtained results indicate that transporter mediated processes are the major mechanisms of transmitter release in the investigated model.
