title: [Acidosis inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in intrasynaptosomal mitochondria by releasing calcium from cytoplasmic store].
abstract: The origin of calcium responsible for earlier observed acidosis-induced decrease in ATP content and inhibition of respiration in rat brain synaptosomes was studied. Acidosis (pH 6.0) inhibits both basal and potassium-stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake (60 mM KCl). Calcium channel blockers verapamil (100 microM) and 45Ca2+ (100 microM) have no effect on the level of ATP and respiration rate at pH 6.0. Theophylline (10 mM) releasing calcium from intracellular stores lowered ATP and O2 consumption rate at pH 7.4 but not at pH 6.0 being effective only in calcium-containing medium. Inhibitor of calcium transport in mitochondria ruthenium red (10 microM) prevented acidosis-induced ATP decrease. It is suggested that acidosis inhibits oxidative phosphorylation by releasing calcium from cytoplasmic stores with its subsequent transport into intrasynaptosomal mitochondria.
