The study assessed the role of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the Ca2+ transients and cytotoxicity induced in neurons by the brominated flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells (CGC) were exposed to 7.5, 10, or 25 µM TBBPA for 30 min, and cell viability was assessed after 24 h. Moreover, 45Ca uptake was measured, and changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were studied using the fluo-3 probe. The involvement of NMDARs and RyRs was verified using the pertinent receptor antagonists, 0.5 µM MK-801 and 2.5 µM bastadin 12, which was co-applied with 200 µM ryanodine, respectively. The results show that TBBPA concentration-dependently induces an increase in [Ca2+]i. This effect was partly suppressed by the inhibitors of RyRs and NMDARs when administered separately, and completely abrogated by their combined application. A concentration-dependent activation of 45Ca uptake by TBBPA was prevented by MK-801 but not by RyR inhibitors. Application of ≥10 µM TBBPA concentration-dependently reduced neuronal viability, and this effect was only partially and to an equal degree reduced by NMDAR and RyR antagonists given either separately or in combination. Our results directly demonstrate that both the RyR-mediated release of intracellular Ca2+ and the NMDAR-mediated influx of Ca2+ into neurons participate in the mechanism of TBBPA-induced Ca2+ imbalance in CGC and play a significant, albeit not exclusive, role in the mechanisms of TBBPA cytotoxicity.
