  • Title: Iron-induced inhibition of Na+, K(+)-ATPase and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in synaptosomes: protection by the pyridoindole stobadine.
    Author: Kaplán P, Matejovicová M, Mézesová V.
    Journal: Neurochem Res; 1997 Dec; 22(12):1523-9. PubMed ID: 9357020.
    Abstract:
    The effect of oxidative stress, induced by Fe(2+)-EDTA system, on Na+,K(+)-ATPase, Na+/CA2+ exchanger and membrane fluidity of synaptosomes was investigated. Synaptosomes isolated from gerbil whole forebrain were incubated in the presence of 200 microM FeSO4-EDTA per mg of protein at 37 degrees C for 30 min. The oxidative insult reduced Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity by 50.7 +/- 5.0% and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity measured in potassium and choline media by 47.1 +/- 7.2% and 46.7 +/- 8.6%, respectively. Membrane fluidity was also significantly reduced as observed with the 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene probe. Stobadine, a pyridoindole derivative, prevented the decrease in membrane fluidity and in Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity. The Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity was only partially protected by this lipid antioxidant, indicating a more complex mechanism of inhibition of this protein. The results of the present study suggest that the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and the Na+,K(+)-ATPase are involved in oxidation stress-mediated disturbances of intracellular ion homeostasis and may contribute to cell injury.
