To test the possibility that triphenyltin (TPT) increases the intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in neurons as found previously in thymocytes, the effect of TPT on [Ca2+]i was examined in rat cerebellar neurons by a flow-cytometer with fluorescent dyes. TPT at concentrations ranging from 3 x 10(-7) M to 1 x 10(-5) M dose-dependently increased the [Ca2+]i. The TPT-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was not attenuated by a Ca2+ channel blocker, suggesting that it was not dependent on voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. As the concentration of external Ca2+ ([Ca2+]e) increased, TPT produced a more profound increase in the [Ca2+]i. However, the increase in the [Ca2+]i by TPT was observed even in nominally [Ca2+]e-free solution. These results suggest two possibilities. First, TPT may promote Ca(2+)-influx to the neuron. Secondly, TPT may affect the intracellular Ca-store sites. This study is relevant to the neurotoxicity of organotins because it has become progressively clear that sustained increases in the [Ca2+]i can activate various Ca(2+)-dependent degradative processes.
