BAPTA-AM is a selective, membrane-permeable and intracellular calcium chelator. In the human leukemia cell lines HL-60 and U937, BAPTA/AM (10 μM) induced internucleosomal DNA cleavage and classic apoptotic morphology. Also, BAPTA/AM increased Ca2+ in intracellular and downregulated c-jun. In bovine chromaffin cells, APTA-AM (50 μM) rapidly and reversibly inhibited Ca2+-activated K+ (I(KCa)) and voltage-gated K+ (I(K)) by 50%. In HEK 293 cells, BAPTA-AM inhibited hERG (Kv11.1), hKv1.3 and hKv1.5 channels with IC50 values of 1.3, 1.45 and 1.23 μM respectively in a concentration dependent way.

By chelating intracellular Ca2+, BAPTA-AM upregulates the reduced cardiac sodium current (INa) density and inhibits neuronal Ca2+-activated K+ channel currents[1]. In mouse cortical cultures, lipoxygenase-mediated free radicals cause delayed necrosis, which is induced by the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA-AM (BAPTA/AM). BAPTA-AM shields neurons from ischemia damage, preventing free radical-mediated toxicity and promoting death in non-neuronal cells while also having a positive effect on neuronal cells. Furthermore, it has been proposed that BAPTA-AM causes an increase in intracellular calcium in I-IL-60 neoplastic cells at a later time rather than an earlier one. Increased release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the bathing medium after 24 or 48 hours indicates a moderate (45-70%) neuronal damage in mixed cortical cell cultures (DIV 13-16) subjected to 10 μM BAPTA-AM. 48 hours of exposure to 3–10 μM BAPTA–AM causes dose-dependent neuronal damage in cortical cultures[2].
BAPTA-AM is a well-known membrane permeable Ca(2+) chelator. The present study found that BAPTA-AM rapidly and reversibly suppressed human ether a-go-go-related gene (hERG or Kv11.1) K(+) current, human Kv1.3 and human Kv1.5 channel currents stably expressed in HEK 293 cells, and the effects were not related to Ca(2+) chelation. The externally applied BAPTA-AM inhibited hERG channels in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50): 1.3 microM). Blockade of hERG channels was dependent on channel opening, and tonic block was minimal. Steady-state activation V(0.5) of hERG channels was negatively shifted by 8.5 mV (from -3.7+/-2.8 of control to -12.2+/-3.1 mV, P<0.01), while inactivation V(0.5) was negatively shifted by 6.1 mV (from -37.9+/-2.0 mV of control to -44.0+/-1.6 mV, P<0.05) with application of 3 microM BAPTA-AM. The S6 mutant Y652A and the pore helix mutant S631A significantly attenuated blockade by BAPTA-AM at 10 microM causing profound blockade of wild-type hERG channels. In addition, BAPTA-AM inhibited hKv1.3 and hKv1.5 channels in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50): 1.45 and 1.23 microM, respectively), and the blockade of these two types of channels was also dependent on channel opening. Moreover, EGTA-AM was found to be an open channel blocker of hERG, hKv1.3, hKv1.5 channels, though its efficacy is weaker than that of BAPTA-AM. These results indicate that the membrane permeable Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM (also EGTA-AM) exerts an open channel blocking effect on hERG, hKv1.3 and hKv1.5 channels. [1] 1. Disruption of calcium homeostasis during neurodegenerative diseases is known to trigger apoptotic or necrotic death in neuronal cells. Recently, the authors reported that intracellular calcium restriction by NMDA receptor antagonists induces apoptosis in cortical cultures. To evaluate whether further restriction of intracellular free calcium can induce apoptosis or necrosis, we examined the neurotoxic characterization of BAPTA-AM, a permeable free calcium chelator, in mouse cortical cultures. 2. Exposure of mixed (glia and neuron) cortical cultures (DIV 13-16) to 3-10 microM BAPTA-AM (non-toxic concentration for glial cells) for 24-48 hr resulted in delayed and necrotic neuronal death. The necrotic findings included swelling and loss of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with neuronal membrane rupture 24 hr after treatment with BAPTA/AM. Simultaneously, we observed a few TUNEL-positive cells in the neuronal subpopulation of the same cultures. 3. The neurotoxicity evoked by BAPTA/AM (10 microM) was significantly attenuated by the addition of 0.5 microM cycloheximide (a protein synthesis inhibitor), 10 microM actinomycin D (an RNA transcription inhibitor), a high extracellular potassium concentration (total 15 mM KCl), 100 microM t-ACPD (a metabotrophic agonist), 100 microM alpha-tocopherol (a free radical scavenger), 100 microM deferoxamine (a ferric ion chelator), 100 microM L-NAME (a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor), 50 microM DNQX (a non-NMDA receptor blocker), and 3-30 microM esculetin (a lipoxygenase inhibitor). However, 0.3-3 mM ASA (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor), 100 ng/ml nerve growth factor (NGF), 10 microM MK-801 (a NMDA receptor antagonist), 20 microM zVAD-fmk (caspase inhibitor) and 50 U/ml catalase failed to inhibit the injury. 4. However, NGF and catalase blocked the neurotoxicity induced by BAPTA/AM in young neuronal cells (DIV 6). BAPTA/AM (10 microM) did not alter the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) on glial cells. 5. These results suggest that the feature of neuronal death induced by BAPTA/AM exhibits predominantly delayed necrosis mediated by lipoxygenase-dependent free radicals [2]. |

Assessment of Cell Death [2]
Neuronal injury was quantitatively estimated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released from damaged cells into the bathing medium 24- or 48-hr after the BAPTA-AM (or BAPTA/AM) treatment, as previously described (Koh and Choi, 1987) We confirmed the morphological findings by staining with neuron-specific enolase antibody and tryphan blue. Western Blot Analvsis of Glial Cells [2] Western blotting was performed using protein extracted from each sample. Cells were lysed with 1% Triton X-l 00, 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, at 4°C for 20 min. The lysed cells were removed with a cell scraper and centritiged at 4°C for 10 min at 12,000xg. The supernatant was removed and the protein concentration was determined by the method of Bradford (1970). The supernatant was diluted with electrophoretic sample buffer to obtain a protein concentration of 3 &PI, and heated at 100°C for 5 min. Samples were electrophoresed under denaturing conditions in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE) using a discontinuous procedure (Laemmli, 1970). After electrophoresis, the proteins were electrotransferred in the transfer buffer to a PROTRAN@ nitrocellulose transfer membrane overnight at 4°C and 30 V. The transferred proteins were blocked with 5% BSA in TBS (50 mh4 Tris/HCl, 20 nM NaCl, pH 7.4 containing 5% bovine serum albumin) for 2-hr at room temperature. Inducible NOS was detected by incubating the membrane in a moist chamber overnight at 4”C, with the primary antibody (rabbit anti-iNOS diluted with TBS, 1: 1000). After washing in TBS, the membrane was incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG-peroxidase conjugate (diluted in TBS 1:3000) for 3-hr at room temperature. Visualization was achieved using 1% 3,3’-diaminobenzidine-HCl in 0.1% TBS. 1.

Previous studies reported that hERG, Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels could be regulated by PKC, and BAPTA-AM was reported to inhibit PKC. The present observation was involved in the study upon effect of PKC on these channels. However, possible effects of PKC could be excluded in the present observation because no effect was observed for these channels when BAPTA-AM was included in pipette solution. Collectively, our results support the notion that BAPTA-AM directly blocks hERG, Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels stably expressed in HEK 293 cells. In addition, EGTA-AM showed a blocking property similar to that of BAPTA-AM in hERG, Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels, although its efficacy is weaker than that of BAPTA-AM. In summary, the membrane permeable Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM (also EGTA-AM), in addition to the inhibition of hKv1.3 and hKv1.5 channels, directly blocks hERG channels. These effects are not related to intracellular chelation.[1] |
