Lead has been shown to affect calcium homeostasis. However, there is no prior evidence to indicate an effect of low concentrationsof lead in the environment (≈1μM) on the intracellular free Ca2+concentration in any human tissue. We have investigated the effect of lead on the intracellular free Ca2+concentration of human blood platelets using19F-NMR and a fluorinated intracellular Ca2+indicator. We report a basal intracellular free Ca2+value of 172 ± 8 nM. Treatment with 1, 5, 10 and 25 μM Pb2+resulted in average increases in intracellular free Ca2+of 39%, 91%, 135% and 172%, respectively. The percent increase in intracellular free Ca2+was linearly and positively correlated with the log of Pb2+concentration. Using atomic absorption spectroscopy, a significant increase in total calcium of approx. 10 nmol/mg protein was found in 25 μM Pb2+treated platelets. This indicates that influx of external Ca2+contributes to the observed increase in free Ca2+. The results provide an explanation for the previously reported effects of lead on platelet function, and suggest a mechanism for low level lead-induced hypertension.
