【Abstract】 AIM To elucidate the mechanism of the acti on of toosendanin(TSN), which may provide a new clue for understanding the basic p rocesses involved in transmitter release. METHODS Nerve t erminals (synaptosomes) from rat cerebral cortex were used as a test system to s tudy the effects of TSN. They were isolated by discontinuous density gradient ce ntrifugation. The secretogogues used to evoke Glu release included 50 mmol·L -1 KCl, 1.5 μmol·L -1 calcimycin and 7.5 mmol·L -1 4-amino pyri dine (4-AP). Glu released from synaptosomes was determined by measuring the flu orescence of NADH produced in oxidative dehydrogenation of Glu. RESULTS TSN obviously inhibited the Glu release evoked by KCl depolarization in a c oncentration- and time-dependent manner. The effect mainly resulted from TSN- induced block of the Ca 2+-dependent transmitter release. After TSN applic ation the Glu release evoked by elevating intracellular free-Ca 2+ concent ration ([Ca 2+] i) with calcimycin also significantly decreased. C ONCLUSION TSN inhibited the Glu release from central synapses and the e ff ect was assumed to be related to TSN-induced depression in the Ca 2+-sens itivity of release machinery.更多还原
