title: [Effect of the Ca ionophore A-23187 on the plasmatic and mitochondrial potentials of the brain synaptosomes in rats: fluorescence measurements].
abstract: The applicability of the potential-sensitive dye diS-C3-(5) for the study of A23187 + Ca2+ induced plasma membrane hyperpolarization was tested in rat brain synaptosomes. An appropriate dye synaptosome ratio was chosen for the fluorescence titration dye in Ca-free Krebs-Ringer solution. The fluorescence intensity of the probe was increased upon the addition of Ca2+ (1 microM) to the synaptosomes in the presence of A23187 (1 microM). The effect of Ca2+ + A23187 persisted in a Na+-free medium or when Na+ channels were inhibited by tetrodotoxin as well as in high K+-depolarized synaptosomes (75 microM KCl). In the presence of oligomycin or a protonophore (1 microM) the effect of Ca2+ + A23187 was suppressed. This suggests that the A23187-induced fluorescence increase is due to a depolarization of intrasynaptosomal mitochondria. Therefore, the use of the dye diS-C3-(5) for the study of Ca-induced hyperpolarization does not seem to be feasible unless a quantitative model of changes in fluorescence related to the plasma and mitochondrial membrane potentials is elaborated.
