The mechanism of lead toxicity at the cellular level remains unknown, although an effect of lead on intracellular Ca2+ has been described. Since bone is a major target for lead, we have investigated the effect of lead on bioenergetic rates and on the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration in cultured osteoblastic bone cells. Using 31P NMR and the saturation transfer technique we have detected a sizable (18%) transfer of saturation from gamma ATP to Pi in a perfused osteoblastic osteosarcoma bone cell line, Ros 17/2.8, and have found a large (greater than 82%) reduction in the Pi----ATP rate upon treatment with 10 microM Pb2+. The NMR-measured unidirectional rate was much greater than the net rate of ATP synthesis through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. By using iodoacetate we investigated the mechanism of the saturation transfer and found that it is catalyzed by the glycolytic enzyme couple glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase. The net rate of glycolysis as measured by lactate production and that of oxidative phosphorylation as measured by O2 consumption were found to be significantly decreased by 18 and 74%, respectively, with lead treatment. In addition, from the chemical shifts of intracellular ATP resonances, we found a significant reduction of 21% in the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration upon Pb2+ treatment. The observed lead-induced reduction in ATP synthesis/utilization and the decrease in intracellular free Mg2+ may contribute to the impairment of bone formation during lead intoxication.
