1. SH-SY5Y, a human neuroblastoma cell line, was used as a tissue culture model to examine the hypothesis that cocaine may affect the metabolism of tau protein which stabilizes microtubules and promotes microtubule assembly. 2. Cocaine hydrochloride (10(-9)-10(-3) M) caused dose-dependent reductions in cell number, with 10(-3) M causing 28% reduction after 48 hr. 3. This drug also decreased tau protein (50 Kd) in the cytoplasmic (supernatant) as well as the membrane (pellet) fraction after 48-hr treatment.
