Abstract：
:The effect of lead ions on the release of acetylcholine (ACh) was investigated in intact and digitonin-permeabilized rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes that had been prelabeled with [3H]choline. Release of ACh was inferred from the release of total 3H label or by determination of [3H]ACh. Application of 1 microM Pb2+ to intact synaptosomes in Ca2(+)-deficient medium induced 3H release, which was enhanced by K+ depolarization. This suggests that entry of Pb2+ into synaptosomes and Pb2(+)-induced ACh release can be augmented by activation of the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in nerve terminals. The lead-induced release of [3H]ACh was blocked by treatment of synaptosomes with vesamicol, which prevents uptake of ACh into synaptic vesicles without affecting its synthesis in the synaptoplasm. This indicates that Pb2+ selectively activates the release of a vesicular fraction of the transmitter with little or no effect on the leakage of cytoplasmic ACh. Application of 1-50 nM (EC50 congruent to 4 nM) free Pb2+ to digitonin-permeabilized synaptosomes elicited release of 3H label that was comparable with the release induced by 0.2-5 microM (EC50 congruent to 0.5 microM) free Ca2+. This suggests that Pb2+ triggers transmitter exocytosis directly and that it is a some 100 times more effective activator of exocytosis than is the natural agonist Ca2+.
