Arachidonic acid release and the effect of phospholipase inhibitors on various types of cell injuries and death to rabbit renal proximal tubule suspensions were determined. Proximal tubules were exposed to the mitochondrial inhibitor antimycin A (0.1 /AM), the protonophore carbonyl cyanide p-trifluo

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of intracellular calcium chelators on rabbit renal proximal tubule (RPT) cell death induced by t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and H,O, was examined. Preincubation of RPT suspensions with 50 pM QUIN 21AM completely prevented TBHP (0.5 mM) and H,O, (2 mM) induced cell death [i.e., release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)]. QUIN 2/AM, BAPTAIAM, EGTAIAM, and FURA 21AM, at 5 pM, decreased LDH release (at 6 hr) from 41% to 4%, 21%, 26% , and 33% , and decreased lipid peroxidation (at 1 hr) from 1.0 to 0.1, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 nmol MDAlmg protein, respectively, after TBHP exposure. Since oxidant-induced lipid peroxidation and cell death are iron-dependent in this model, these results suggest that the intracellular calcium chelators inhibit cell death by chelating iron.
