dc.description.abstract | Las sticolisinas I y II (St I/II) son dos citolisinas purificadas de la anémona Stichodactyla helianthus. En este estudio, mostramos sus acciones farmacológicas en estado nativo y desnaturalizadas por pH, en los modelos de neuronas aisladas de moluscos y aurícula de curiel con el objetivo de correlacionala con la actividades formadoras de poro de ambas isoformas. En eritrocitos de curiel (N3), St II presenta mayor actividad hemolítica en comparación con StI y esta actividad se pierde a pH alcalino. En neuronas centrales de molusco (N=30), estas disminuyen irreversiblemente la amplitud de la respuesta colinérgica; St I (EC50 0.6 μmolL–1) fue más potente que St II (EC50>6.6 μmolL–1) y ambas incrementan la duración del potencial de acción; estos efectos no se observaron a pH alcalino. En resumen ambas citolisinas muestran propiedades neuroactivas y cardioactivas. El mecanismo principal en neuronas de molusco está asociado a la actividad citolítica de estas moléculas, mientras que en aurícula aislada de curiel la existencia de un mecanismo farmacológico adicional puede tener una contribución en los efectos observados. Sticholysins I and II (St I/II) are cytolysins purifi ed from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus. In this study, we show their pharmacological action on guinea-pig and snail models in native and pH-denatured conditions in order to correlate the pharmacological fi ndings with the pore-forming activity of both isoforms. In guinea-pig erythrocytes (N= 3), St II possessed higher haemolytic activity in comparison with St I and this activity was lost at an alkaline pH. In molluscan central neurons (N = 30), they irreversibly decreased the amplitude of the cholinergic response; St I (EC50 0.6 μmolL–1) was more potent than St II (EC50 >6.6 μmolL–1) and they both increased the duration of the action potential; these effects were absent at an alkaline pH. In guinea-pig isolated atrium (N = 25), both increased the amplitude of the contraction force, but St II was more potent than St I (EC50 0.03 μmolL–1 and 0.3 μmolL–1, respectively) and this effect persisted at an alkaline pH. In summary, both cytolysins have neuroactive and cardioactive properties. The main mechanism in molluscan neurons seems to be associated with the cytolytic activity of these molecules, whereas in guinea-pig atrium, the existence of an additional pharmacological mechanism might be contributing to the observed effect. | es_ES |
