A plant alkaloid, veratridine, potentiates cancer chemosensitivity by UBXN2A-dependent inhibition of an oncoprotein, mortalin-2.[Pubmed:26188124]

Oncotarget. 2015 Sep 15;6(27):23561-81.

Veratridine (VTD), an alkaloid derived from the Liliaceae plant shows anti-tumor effects; however, its molecular targets have not been thoroughly studied. Using a high-throughput drug screen, we found that VTD enhances transactivation of UBXN2A, resulting in upregulation of UBXN2A in the cytoplasm, where UBXN2A binds and inhibits the oncoprotein mortalin-2 (mot-2). VTD-treated cancer cells undergo cell death in UBXN2A- and mot-2-dependent manners. The cytotoxic function of VTD is grade-dependent, and the combined treatment with a sub-optimal dose of the standard chemotherapy, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and etoposide, demonstrated a synergistic effect, resulting in higher therapeutic efficacy. VTD influences the CD44+ stem cells, possibly through UBXN2A-dependent inhibition of mot-2. The VTD-dependent expression of UBXN2A is a potential candidate for designing novel strategies for colon cancer treatment because: 1) In 50% of colon cancer patients, UBXN2A protein levels in tumor tissues are significantly lower than those in the adjacent normal tissues. 2) Cytoplasmic expression of the mot-2 protein is very low in non-cancerous cells; thus, VTD can produce tumor-specific toxicity while normal cells remain intact. 3) Finally, VTD or its modified analogs offer a valuable adjuvant chemotherapy strategy to improve the efficacy of 5-FU-based chemotherapy for colon cancer patients harboring WT-p53.

Veratridine produces distinct calcium response profiles in mouse Dorsal Root Ganglia neurons.[Pubmed:28338073]

Sci Rep. 2017 Mar 24;7:45221.

Nociceptors are a subpopulation of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons that detect noxious stimuli and signal pain. Veratridine (VTD) is a voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) modifier that is used as an "agonist" in functional screens for VGSC blockers. However, there is very little information on VTD response profiles in DRG neurons and how they relate to neuronal subtypes. Here we characterised VTD-induced calcium responses in cultured mouse DRG neurons. Our data shows that the heterogeneity of VTD responses reflects distinct subpopulations of sensory neurons. About 70% of DRG neurons respond to 30-100 muM VTD. We classified VTD responses into four profiles based upon their response shape. VTD response profiles differed in their frequency of occurrence and correlated with neuronal size. Furthermore, VTD response profiles correlated with responses to the algesic markers capsaicin, AITC and alpha, beta-methylene ATP. Since VTD response profiles integrate the action of several classes of ion channels and exchangers, they could act as functional "reporters" for the constellation of ion channels/exchangers expressed in each sensory neuron. Therefore our findings are relevant to studies and screens using VTD to activate DRG neurons.

Tolterodine reduces veratridine-augmented late INa, reverse-INCX and early afterdepolarizations in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes.[Pubmed:27569391]

Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2016 Nov;37(11):1432-1441.

AIM: The augmentation of late sodium current (INa.L) not only causes intracellular Na(+) accumulation, which results in intracellular Ca(2+) overload via the reverse mode of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current (reverse-INCX), but also prolongs APD and induces early afterdepolarizations (EAD), which can lead to arrhythmia and cardiac dysfunction. Thus, the inhibition of INa.L is considered to be a potential way for therapeutic intervention in ischemia and heart failure. In this study we investigated the effects of tolterodine (Tol), a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist, on normal and Veratridine (Ver)-augmented INa.L, reverse-INCX and APD in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes, which might contribute to its cardioprotective activity. METHODS: Rabbit ventricular myocytes were prepared. The INa.L and reverse-INCX were recorded in voltage clamp mode, whereas action potentials and Ver-induced early afterdepolarizations (EADs) were recorded in current clamp mode. Drugs were applied via superfusion. RESULTS: Tol (3-120 nmol/L) concentration-dependently inhibited the normal and Ver-augmented INa.L with IC50 values of 32.08 nmol/L and 42.47 nmol/L, respectively. Atropine (100 mumol/L) did not affect the inhibitory effects of Tol (30 nmol/L) on Ver-augmented INa.L. In contrast, much high concentrations of Tol was needed to inhibit the transient sodium current (INa.T) with an IC50 value of 183.03 mumol/L. In addition, Tol (30 nmol/L) significantly shifted the inactivation curve of INa.T toward a more depolarizing membrane potential without affecting its activation characteristics. Moreover, Tol (30 nmol/L) significantly decreased Ver-augmented reverse-INCX. Tol (30 nmol/L) increased the action potential duration (APD) by 16% under the basal conditions. Ver (20 mumol/L) considerably extended the APD and evoked EADs in 18/24 cells (75%). In the presence of Ver, Tol (30 nmol/L) markedly decreased the APD and eliminated EADs (0/24 cells). CONCLUSION: Tol inhibits normal and Ver-augmented INaL and decreases Ver-augmented reverse-INCX. In addition, Tol reverses the prolongation of the APD and eliminates the EADs induced by Ver, thus prevents Ver-induced arrhythmia.

Inhibition of veratridine-induced delayed inactivation of the voltage-sensitive sodium channel by synthetic analogs of crambescin B.[Pubmed:28143690]

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2017 Mar 1;27(5):1247-1251.

Crambescin B carboxylic acid, a synthetic analog of crambescin B, was recently found to inhibit the voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSC) in a cell-based assay using neuroblastoma Neuro 2A cells. In the present study, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were conducted with three heterologously expressed VSSC subtypes, Nav1.2, Nav1.6 and Nav1.7, in a human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293T to further characterize the inhibition of VSSC by crambescin B carboxylic acid. Contrary to the previous observation, crambescin B carboxylic acid did not inhibit peak current evoked by depolarization from the holding potential of -100mV to the test potential of -10mV in the absence or presence of Veratridine (VTD). In the presence of VTD, however, crambescin B carboxylic acid diminished VTD-induced sustained and tail currents through the three VSSC subtypes in a dose-dependent manner, whereas TTX inhibited both the peak current and the VTD-induced sustained and tail currents through all subtypes of VSSC tested. We thus concluded that crambescin B carboxylic acid does not block VSSC in a similar manner to TTX but modulate the action of VTD, thereby causing an apparent block of VSSC in the cell-based assay.

Mechanism of the persistent sodium current activator veratridine-evoked Ca elevation: implication for epilepsy.[Pubmed:19719824]

J Neurochem. 2009 Nov;111(3):745-56.

Although the role of Na(+) in several aspects of Ca(2+) regulation has already been shown, the exact mechanism of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) increase resulting from an enhancement in the persistent, non-inactivating Na(+) current (I(Na,P)), a decisive factor in certain forms of epilepsy, has yet to be resolved. Persistent Na(+) current, evoked by Veratridine, induced bursts of action potentials and sustained membrane depolarization with monophasic intracellular Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)](i)) and biphasic [Ca(2+)](i) increase in CA1 pyramidal cells in acute hippocampal slices. The Ca(2+) response was tetrodotoxin- and extracellular Ca(2+)-dependent and ionotropic glutamate receptor-independent. The first phase of [Ca(2+)](i) rise was the net result of Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and mitochondrial Ca(2+) sequestration. The robust second phase in addition involved reverse operation of the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger and mitochondrial Ca(2+) release. We excluded contribution of the endoplasmic reticulum. These results demonstrate a complex interaction between persistent, non-inactivating Na(+) current and [Ca(2+)](i) regulation in CA1 pyramidal cells. The described cellular mechanisms are most likely part of the pathomechanism of certain forms of epilepsy that are associated with I(Na,P). Describing the magnitude, temporal pattern and sources of Ca(2+) increase induced by I(Na,P) may provide novel targets for antiepileptic drug therapy.

Effects of Ca2+ channel antagonists on chromaffin cell death and cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations induced by veratridine.[Pubmed:7805782]

Eur J Pharmacol. 1994 Aug 3;270(4):331-9.

Exposure of bovine chromaffin cells to 30 microM Veratridine for 24 h led to 70-80% cell death as reflected by phase contrast microscopy, trypan blue exclusion, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and cell catecholamine contents. Na+ deprivation, Ca2+ deletion or tetrodotoxin (5 microM) prevented the Veratridine-induced cell damage. Nimodipine and verapamil, but not omega-conotoxin GVIA afforded 20-30% protection. Flunarizine protected the cells by 80% and R56865 by 60%. Stimulation of fura-2-loaded single bovine chromaffin cells with 30 microM of 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (DMPP) or 59 mM K+ caused fast increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, ([Ca2+]i). The [Ca2+]i rose from 0.1 to peaks of 1.9 microM, which quickly declined to near basal levels with a t1/2 of around 30 s. In spite of sustained stimulation with these two depolarizing agents, the [Ca2+]i remained low and did not undergo oscillations. In contrast, Veratridine (30 microM) caused large and frequent oscillatory changes in the [Ca2+]i which were long-lasting and did not disappear even 30 min after washing out the toxin. The [Ca2+]i oscillations were reversibly suppressed by Na+ or Ca2+ removal and by 5 microM tetrodotoxin. Selective L-type Ca2+ channel blockers (10 microM nimodipine or verapamil) or N-type Ca2+ channel blockers (1 microM omega-conotoxin GVIA) did not affect the [Ca2+]i oscillations. In contrast, flunarizine or R56865 (10 microM each) suppressed the oscillations of [Ca2+]i. The results demonstrate that bovine chromaffin cells have the necessary machinery to develop prolonged and repetitive [Ca2+]i oscillations in the presence of Veratridine; however, 'physiological' depolarizing stimuli did not cause oscillations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purification, solubility, and pKa of veratridine.[Pubmed:3963380]

Anal Biochem. 1986 Feb 15;153(1):33-8.

The alkaloid neurotoxin Veratridine is widely used by cell physiologists to increase membrane sodium permeability. The compound is only sporadically available from commercial sources, but can be purified (Kupchan et al., 1953, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 75, 5519-5524) from veratrine, a mixture of several alkaloids. We describe here a purification procedure only slightly modified from that of Kupchan et al., and include important details not mentioned in the original paper. Ultraviolet and infrared spectra are presented. We have also determined the pKa and solubility of Veratridine in 150 mM NaCl at 25 degrees C. The solubility is steeply pH dependent, ranging from 0.61 +/- 0.02 mM above pH 12 to 18.5 mM at pH 8.07. The pKa, determined from the solubility versus pH curve, was found to be 9.54 +/- 0.02.
