title: Effects of in vitro hypoxia on depolarization-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in synaptosomes.
abstract: The effects of potassium and in vitro histotoxic hypoxia (i.e. KCN) on phosphatidylinositol turnover in rat cortical synaptosomes were determined. [2-3H] Inositol prelabelled rat synaptosomes were prepared from cerebral cortex slices that had been incubated with [2-3H] inositol. Depolarization with 60 mM KCl increased [2-3H] inositol phosphates in a time dependent manner. Depolarization with 60 mM KCl increased [2-3H] inositol trisphosphate transiently at 5 s. K+ induced rapid formation of [2-3H]-inositol bisphosphate and maintained an elevated level for at least 5 min. K+ stimulated gradual formation of [2-3H] inositol monophosphate with time. One minute of hypoxia enhanced potassium-stimulated [2-3H] inositol bisphosphate formation. However, 30 min of hypoxia impaired potassium-stimulated accumulation of [2-3H] inositol phosphates. The effects of histotoxic hypoxia were all dependent upon calcium in the medium and on K+-depolarization. Thus, hypoxia altered the K+-induced accumulation of inositol phosphates in prelabelled synaptosomes in a time dependent, biphasic manner that was calcium dependent.
