Nitric oxide has been recognized in recent years as an important mediator of neuronal toxicity, which in many cases involves alterations of the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i). In [Ca2+]ifluorimetric experiments on cultured hippocampal neurons, the nitric oxide‐releasing agentS‐nitrosocysteine produced a delayed rise in [Ca2+]iover a 20‐min exposure, which was accompanied by a progressive slowing of the kinetics of recovery from depolarization‐induced [Ca2+]itransients. These effects were blocked by oxyhemoglobin and by superoxide dismutase, confirming nitric oxide as the responsible agent, and suggesting that they involved peroxynitrite formation. Similar alterations of [Ca2+]ihomeostasis were produced by the mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibitor oligomycin, and when an ATP‐regenerating system was supplied via the patch pipette in combined whole‐cell patch‐clamp‐[Ca2+]ifluorimetry experiments,S‐nitrosocysteine had no effect on the resting [Ca2+]ior on the recovery kinetics of [Ca2+]itransients induced by direct depolarization. We conclude that prolonged exposure to nitric oxide disrupts [Ca2+]ihomeostasis in hippocampal neurons by impairing Ca2+removal from the cytoplasm, possibly as a result of ATP depletion. The resulting persistent alterations in [Ca2+]imay contribute to the delayed neurotoxicity of nitric oxide.
