Veratridine, a sodium channel inactivation inhibitor causes Ca2+ influx and catecholamine (CA) release. Adrenal chromaffin cells were treated with sodium channel-targeted conotoxins, μO-MrVIA and μ-PIIIA, prior to the application of 20 μM veratridine that was completely inhibited by tetrodotoxin (TTX). At 2.5 μM, μO-MrVIA completely abolished the veratridineinduced TTX-sensitive CA release. On the other hand, μ-PIIIA (0.5 2.5 μM) is a less potent inhibitor; the inhibition leveled off at ~ 60 %. The results indicate that in adrenal chromaffin cells, the TTX-sensitive sodium channels can be classified into two categories: (1) sensitive to both μO-MrVIA and μ-PIIIA (60 %), and (2) sensitive to μO-MrVIA but resistant to μ-PIIIA (40 %). Conotoxins μO-MrVIA and μ-PIIIA may be used in discriminating structurally different sodium channels. Specifically, PIIIA may be useful in determining the functional significance and regulation of co-expression of sodium channel subtypes during differentiation in various types of cells.
