摘要
The effect of acidification of the incubation medium on the membrane potential and glutamate uptake and release was studied in isolated presynaptic neuronal endings (synaptosomes) from rat brain. Using the fluorescent probe diS-C3-(5), a rapid depolarization of plasma membrane was detected at pH 6.0, most probably as a result of the inhibition of the sodium pump and potassium channel blockade. The membrane potential decrease did not result in increase of basal efflux of glutamate. Glutamate release following K+-induced depolarization was decreased upon lowering pH to 6.0. Acidosis inhibited mainly calcium-dependent (vesicular) release of glutamate and did not significantly reduce [14C]glutamate uptake. This inhibition of glutamate release but not of glutamate uptake may be a mechanism of the protective effect of acidosis during brain ischemia.
