Popis: | We have isolated from rat cerebral cortex an endogenous Na(+), K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, termed endobain E, which modulates glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. This endogenous factor allosterically decreases [(3)H]dizocilpine binding to NMDA receptor, most likely acting as a weak channel blocker. In the present study we investigated whether endobain E is present in the cerebral cortex of rats subjected to ischemia and modulates NMDA receptor exposed to the same conditions. Ischemia-reperfusion was carried out by bilateral occlusion of common carotid arteries followed by a 15-min reperfusion period. Elution profile of brain soluble fraction showed that endobain E is present in cerebral cortex of ischemia-reperfusion rats. On assaying its effect on synaptosomal membrane Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity and [(3)H]dizocilpine binding to cerebral cortex membranes prepared from animals without treatment, it was found that the endogenous modulator isolated from ischemia-reperfusion rats was able to inhibit both enzyme activity and ligand binding. On the other hand, endobain E prepared from rats without treatment also decreased binding to cerebral cortex or hippocampal membranes obtained from animals exposed to ischemia-reperfusion. Since ischemia decreases tissue pH and NMDA receptor activity varies according to proton concentration, pH influence on endobain E effect was tested. Endobain E ( approximately 80 mg original tissue) decreased [(3)H]dizocilpine binding 25% at pH 7.4 or 8.0 but 90% at pH 6.5. These results demonstrate that endobain E is present and also able to modulate NMDA receptor in the short-term period that follows cerebral ischemia and that its effect depends on proton concentration, suggesting greater NMDA receptor modulation by endobain E at low pH, typical of ischemic tissues. |
