There is evidence that polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners with ortho chlorine substituents have potential to cause neurotoxicity. Many PCB congeners implicated in these neurotoxic effects are chiral. It is currently unknown if the enantiomers of chiral PCB congeners have different neurotoxic effects. We herein report the effect of racemic 2,2',3,3',6-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 84) and its enantiorners on two neurochernical measures, protein kinase C (PKC) translocation as determined by [H-3]phorobol ester binding in cerebellar granule cells and Ca2+-sequestration as determined by Ca-45(2+)-uptake by microsomes isolated from adult rat cerebellum. Both (+)- and (-)-PCB 84 increased [H-3]-phorobol ester binding in a concentration-dependent manner with (-)-PCB 84 being slightly more potent. Racemic PCB 84 was significantly more potent and efficacious than the pure enantiomers alone. (-)- and (+)-PCB 84 each inhibited microsornal Ca-45(2+)-uptake to a similar extent, whereas racemic, PCB 84 was more potent and efficacious. These results indicate that PCB 84 enantionlers alone can have different potencies, and these may differ from that of the racemic mixture, observations that may have important implications for understanding the mechanisms of neurotoxicity of chiral PCB congeners.
