In sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscles the activity of Ca2+, Mg2+- dependent ATPase was distinctly inhibited under effect of neuroleptic drugs - derivatives of phenothiazine and butyrophenone. The effect of tricyclic antidepressants was less pronounced. Tranquilizers (derivatives of 1,4-benzodiazepine) inhibited the enzyme, but trioxazin was only slightly active. High concentrations of lithium salts and of psychostimulants caffeine and corasole were found to stimulate the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity; low concentrations of the substances slightly inhibited the enzyme. The blocking effect of psychotropic drugs was more distinct, if the enzyme preparations were previously treated with ATP.

Using slices of mouse or rat cerebral cortex incubated with [3H]adenosine or [3H]adenine and/or [14C]GABA we have examined factors affecting the release of these compounds, and especially the influence of methylxanthines. Although release of purines and GABA could be induced by ouabain (10(-4) M), or p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (5 x 10(-4) M) no release was produced by ethacrynic acid (10(-3) or 10(-4) M) phenytoin (10(-3) M), noradrenaline or SC 13504. Release is probably not therefore related to (Na+, K+) ATPase or Mg2+-ATPase inhibition. At concentrations of 10(-3) and 10(-4) M, caffeine, theophylline, aminophylline and isobutyl-methylxanthine (IBMX) markedly depressed the release of purines evoked by ouabain. Non-xanthine inhibition of phosphodiesterase had much weaker though statistically significant effects. The methylxanthines had no significant effect on GABA release. It is suggested that the results can be explained on the basis of a positive feedback system in which released adenosine activates membranal adenylate cyclase, and the increased concentration of cyclic AMP which results form or origin of much of the adenosine released subsequently. However, we cannot exclude the existence of an intracellular receptor for methylxanthines which causes directly the inhibition of purine release.

1. Ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle are regulated by the 12 kDa FK506- (or rapamycin-) binding protein (FKBP12). Rapamycin can also activate RyR channels with FKBP12 removed, suggesting that compounds with macrocyclic lactone ring structures can directly activate RyRs. Here we tested this hypothesis using two other macrocyclic lactone compounds, ivermectin and midecamycin. 2. Rabbit skeletal RyRs were examined in lipid bilayers. Ivermectin (cis, 0.66-40 microM) activated six of eight native, four of four control-incubated and eleven of eleven FKBP12-'stripped' RyR channels. Midecamycin (cis, 10-30 microM) activated three of four single native channels, six of eight control-incubated channels and six of seven FKBP12-stripped channels. Activity declined when either drug was washed out. 3. Neither ivermectin nor midecamycin removed FKBP12 from RyRs. Western blots of terminal cisternae (TC), incubated for 15 min at 37 C with 40 microM ivermectin or midecamycin, showed normal amounts of FKBP12. In contrast, no FKBP12 was detected after incubation with 40 microM rapamycin. 4. Ivermectin reduced Ca2+ uptake by the SR Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase. Ca2+ uptake by TC fell to approximately 40% in the presence of ivermectin (10 microM), both with and without 10 microM Ruthenium Red. Ca2+ uptake by longitudinal SR also fell to approximately 40% with 10 microM ivermectin. Midecamycin (10 microM) reduced Ca2+ uptake by TC vesicles to approximately 76% without Ruthenium Red and to approximately 90 % with Ruthenium Red. 5. The rate of rise of extravesicular [Ca2+] increased approximately 2-fold when 10 microM ivermectin was added to TC vesicles that had been partially loaded with Ca2+ and then Ca2+ uptake blocked by 200 nM thapsigargin. Ivermectin also potentiated caffeine-induced Ca2+ release to approximately 140% of control. These increases in Ca2+ release were not seen with midecamycin. 6. Ivermectin, but not midecamycin, reversibly reduced Ca2+ loading in four of six skinned rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) fibres to approximately 90%, and reversibly increased submaximal caffeine-induced contraction in five of eight fibres by approximately 110% of control. Neither ivermectin nor midecamycin altered twitch or tetanic tension in intact EDL muscle fibres within 20 min of drug addition. 7. The results confirm the hypothesis that compounds with a macrocyclic lactone ring structure can directly activate RyRs. Unexpectedly, ivermectin also reduced Ca2+ uptake into the SR. These effects of ivermectin on SR Ca2+ handling may explain some effects of the macrolide drugs on mammals.

The immunophilin FKBP12 associates with intracellular Ca2+ channels and this interaction can be disrupted by the immunosuppressant FK506. We have investigated the effect of FK506 on Ca2+ release and Ca2+ uptake in permeabilized cell types. Changes in medium free [Ca2+] were detected by the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fluo-3 in digitonin-permeabilized SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, DT40 and R23-11 (i.e. triple inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor knockout cells) chicken B lymphocytes and differentiated and undifferentiated BC3H1 skeletal muscle cells. 45Ca2+ fluxes were studied in saponin-permeabilized A7r5 rat smooth muscle cells. Addition of FK506 to permeabilized SH-SY5Y cells led to a sustained elevation of the medium [Ca2+] corresponding to approximately 30 % of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187-induced [Ca2+] rise. This rise in [Ca2+] was not dependent on mitochondrial activity. This FK506-induced [Ca2+] rise was related to the inhibition of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase (SERCA) Ca2+ pump. Oxalate-facilitated 45Ca2+ uptake in SH-SY5Y microsomes was inhibited by FK506 with an IC50 of 19 microM. The inhibition of the SERCA Ca2+ pump was not specific since several macrocyclic lactone compounds (ivermectin > FK506, ascomycin and rapamycin) were able to inhibit Ca2+ uptake activity. FK506 (10 microM) did not affect IP3-induced Ca2+ release in permeabilized SH-SY5Y and A7r5 cells, but enhanced caffeine-induced Ca2+ release via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) in differentiated BC3H1 cells. In conclusion, FK506 inhibited active Ca2+ uptake by the SERCA Ca2+ pump; in addition, FK506 enhanced intracellular Ca2+ release through the RyR, but it had no direct effect on IP3-induced Ca2+ release.
