Effects of anoxia, aglycemia, and acidosis on cytosolic Mg2+, ATP, and pH in rat sensory neurons.

چکیده
Sensory neurons can detect ischemia and transmit pain from various organs. Whereas the primary stimulus in ischemia is assumed to be acidosis, little is known about how the inevitable metabolic challenge influences neuron function. In this study we have investigated the effects of anoxia, aglycemia, and acidosis upon intracellular Mg(2+) concentration [Mg(2+)](i) and intracellular pH (pH(i)) in isolated sensory neurons. Anoxia, anoxic aglycemia, and acidosis all caused a rise in [Mg(2+)](i) and a fall in pH(i). The rise in [Mg(2+)](i) in response to acidosis appears to be due to H(+) competing for intracellular Mg(2+) binding sites. The effects of anoxia and aglycemia were mimicked by metabolic inhibition and, in a dorsal root ganglia (DRG)-derived cell line, the rise in [Mg(2+)](i) during metabolic blockade was closely correlated with fall in intracellular ATP concentration ([ATP](i)). Increase in [Mg(2+)](i) during anoxia and aglycemia were therefore assumed to be due to MgATP hydrolysis. Even brief periods of anoxia (<3 min) resulted in rapid internal acidosis and a rise in [Mg(2+)](i) equivalent to a decline in MgATP levels of 15-20%. With more prolonged anoxia (20 min) MgATP depletion is estimated to be around 40%. With anoxic aglycemia, the [Mg(2+)](i) rise occurs in two phases: the first beginning almost immediately and the second after an 8- to 10-min delay. Within 20 min of anoxic aglycemia [Mg(2+)](i) was comparable to that observed following complete metabolic inhibition (dinitrophenol + 2-deoxyglucose, DNP + 2-DOG) indicating a near total loss of MgATP. The consequences of these events therefore need to be considered in the context of sensory neuron function in ischemia.

Effects of Anoxia and Aglycemia on Cytosolic Calcium Regulation in Rat Sensory Neurons
Nociceptive neurons play an important role in ischemia by sensing and transmitting information to the CNS and by secreting peptides and nitric oxide, which can have local effects. While these responses are probably primarily mediated by acid sensing channels, other events occurring in ischemia may also influence neuron function. In this study, we have investigated the effects of anoxia and anox...
متن کاملEffect of anoxia on intracellular ATP, Na+i, Ca2+i, Mg2+i, and cytotoxicity in rat hepatocytes.
The effects of anoxia were studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes maintained in agarose gel threads and perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (KHB). Cytosolic free calcium (Ca2+i) was measured with aequorin, intracellular sodium (Na+i) with SBFI, intracellular pH (pHi) with BCECF, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) by the increase in NADH absorbance during lactate oxidation to pyruvate,...

The neurotransmitter mechanisms that process acid hypercapnia in the mammalian carotid body (CB) are poorly understood. Using a co-culture model containing rat CB chemoreceptor (type 1 cell) clusters and petrosal neurons (PN), we tested the hypothesis that co-released ACh and ATP was an important mechanism. Sensory transmission from type I clusters to PN in co-culture occurred at chemical synap...

The effects of temperature (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C) and of anoxia (at 5 °C) on extracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]e), intracellular pH (pHi) and ATP and lactate levels were investigated in intermoult adults of the common shrimp Crangon crangon. All animals caught in summer (summer animals) showed a slight but significant increase in [Mg2+]e at low temperatures. In contrast, at ever...
