AB  - The in vitro effect of digoxin, verapamil, propranolol, carbamazepine, diazepam and promethazine were investigated on the ecto-ATPase activity of synaptosomal plasma membranes from the rat brain. ATP hydrolyzing activities of the enzyme were not affected by digoxin while the use of all other drugs resulted in significant and dose-dependent ihibition in ATP hydrolysis. According to values Of IC50 and K-iapp, the order of inhibitory potency of the drugs applied was: diazepam GT promethazine GT verapamil GT propranolol GT GT carbamazepine. Kinetic analysis of the nature of the ATPase inhibition revealed that it resulted from a direct action of drugs on the enzyme protein. The aim of the present study was to determine the potential neuromodulatory side effects of the drugs investigated. The results achieved indicated that all investigated drugs, except digoxin, may modulate neuronal activities via the purinergic receptors P2 by increasing extracellular concentrations of ATP as a consequence of inhibition of the ecto-ATPase activity. Our findings indicate that it may be useful to take into consideration the possible side effects of the investigated drugs, when they are used in treatment of different pathologies, particularly in the treatment of epilepsy by carbamazepine and diazepam.

AB  - In the present study the developmental! profile of ATP-hydrolyzing activity promoted by NTPDase 1, its kinetic proper-ties and the enzyme protein abundance associated with synaptic plasma membrane from rat cerebral cortex were characterized. NTPDase I activity increased from birth to day 30; afterwards it decreased and remained unchanged from adulthood (90 days) to senescence (365 days). Kinetic analysis revealed that enzyme exhibited the highest specific activity at day 30 and highest apparent affinity for ATP at day 365; however, V-max/K-m values remained unchanged for each age studied. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that relative abundance of NTPDase 1 is highest at day 15 during ontogeny. The discrepancy between maximum enzyme activity and maximum enzyme protein abundance indicates that NTPDase 1 may have an additional role,during development. (C) 2004 ISDN. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Enzymes that hydrolyze extracellular ATP, i.e. ecto-ATPase and ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase), can be differentiated by ability of the latter to hydrolyze ADP and by slightly different kinetic properties of the two enzymes. Synaptic plasma membrane fractions isolated from rat hippocampus and caudate nucleus exhibit ADP-hydrolyzing activity, as revealed by the enzyme assay, and the presence of ecto-ATPase protein, as revealed by immunological identification on Western blot. These findings indicate that both enzymes are co-expressed in the synaptic membrane compartment of hippocampal and caudate nucleus neurons. Kinetic analysis was performed to determine the relative contribution of each enzyme to the total ATP-hydrolyzing activity, while an inhibition study was carried out in order to exclude the interference of other nonspecific ATPase and phosphatase activities. Based on the kinetic properties, sensitivity to inhibitors and V-ATP/V-ADP ratio of about 2, we concluded that a substantial portion of ATP-hydrolyzing activity in both synaptic membrane preparations can be ascribed to the catalytic action of ATPDase. On the other hand, the highest catalytic efficacy when ATP is the substrate and the greater abundance of ecto-ATPase protein in caudate nucleus preparation suggest that the relative contribution of ecto-ATPase to the total ATP-hydrolyzing activity in the caudate nucleus is higher than in the hippocampus.

AB  - An ontogenetic study of ecto-ATPase activity and the content of enzyme proteins was assessed in the caudate nucleus and hippocampal synaptic plasma membranes isolated from rats at various ages (15, 30, 90, 180 and 365 days). The ontogenetic profile revealed that the enzyme activities in both brain areas were the highest on day 30 and 365, while the ecto-ATPase protein abundance was the highest on day 15 after birth. Possible explanation for obtained ontogenetic profile and the discrepancy between activity and abundance may reside in the fact that ecto-ATPase during development could exert additional roles other than those related to metabolism of ATP. It is likely that ecto-ATPase, regulating the concentration of ATP and adenosine in synaptic cleft, has important role in the processes of brain development and aging.
