Abstract: | A direct method for evaluating choline uptake by the high-affinity choline transport system in synaptosomes was developed using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with electrochemical (EC) detection. On-column EC detection of choline and the internal standard, butyrylcholine, was accomplished with a 25 microm platinum electrode modified with the enzymes, choline oxidase and acetylcholinesterase. Choline uptake was evaluated as a function of choline concentration and a KM value of 1.7 microM was determined. The method was also used to evaluate a new class of redox affinity inhibitors of choline transport. In particular, the effectiveness of 3-(trimethylammonio)methyl]catechol (TMC) as an inhibitor of choline uptake was examined independently and relative to the inhibition of the well-known inhibitor of choline transport, hemicholinium-3. The IC50 and KI for TMC were determined to be 30 microM and 14 microM, respectively. The combination of the selectivity and sensitivity afforded by CEEC provides a relatively straightforward approach for monitoring choline transport in synaptosomes. |
