Effects of vanadium on different adenosinetriphosphatases and binding of /sup 3/H-labeled ouabain and calcium-45 to rat brain synaptosomes

Journal Article · · J. Toxicol. Environ. Health; (United States)
The effect of vanadium chloride on rat brain synaptosomal adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activities was determined in vitro and in rats treated at 1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg for 10 d. Additional experiments were conducted to determine the effect of vanadium chloride on binding of (/sup 3/H)ouabain and /sup 45/Ca to rat brain synaptosomes. Na/sup +/ + K/sup +/- and Ca/sup 2 +/-ATPase activities were inhibited significantly in a concentration-dependent manner by V in vitro. Mg/sup 2 +/-ATPase inhibition was neither dose-dependent nor significant except at 10/sup -5/M. Na/sup +/ + K/sup +/-ATPase inhibition by V was more pronounced than that of other ATPases studied. Vanadium inhibited (/sup 3/H)ouabain binding to synaptosomes by 90% at 10/sup -3/ M; the inhibition was concentration-dependent. Binding of /sup 45/Ca was inhibited 50% at 10/sup -4/ M; but concentration-dependent inhibition was not evident. Rats treated with vanadium chloride neither became myotonic nor showed any changes in ATPase activities or binding of (/sup 3/H)ouabain and /sup 45/Ca to brain synaptosomes. Line-weaver-Burke plots of the in vitro inhibition of Na/sup +/ + K/sup +/-ATPase and (/sup 3/H)ouabain binding revealed that (1) Na/sup +/ + K/sup +/-ATPase activation by ATP was inhibited by V with an increase in K/sub m/ and a decrease in V/sub max/; (2) Na/sup +/ activation was inhibited noncompetitively by V, as evidenced by a decrease in V/sub max/ and no change in K/sub m/; (3) K/sup +/ activation was inhibited by V with a decrease in both V/sub max/ and K/sub m/; (4) noncompetitive inhibition of Mg/sup 2 +/-ATPase by V was observed; and (5) the kinetic behavior of (/sup 3/H)ouabain binding inhibition by V with respect to ATP and Na/sup +/ activation was mixed and noncompetitive, respectively.
