Introduction

Exposure to chemical nerve agents, pesticides and certain drugs (anesthetics, cocaine and therapeutical drugs) reduces the activity of red blood cell (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The RBC-AChE can be used as a biomarker to monitor suppressed and or increased AChE function in the peripheral and central nervous system (9).

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the most important enzymes involved in nerve transmission. The enzyme is bound to cellular membranes of excitable tissue (synaptic junction, endoplasmic reticulum, etc) ^1-3. Acute toxicity to humans and animals through inhibition of AChE by both nerve gases and an important class of pesticides has long been a field of intensive scientific investigation ^4,5. AChE inhibitors have also been used clinically as Alzheimer’s treatments (e.g., tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine)) ⁶and are the subject of increasing interest in various disease processes and treatment strategies ^7,8. However, both environmental detection of AChE inhibitors and development of modulators of AChE enzymatic activity as drugs have been hampered by the difficulty and complexity of the current assay methods.

Assay Principle

We have developed a highly sensitive, very rapid, extremely simple assay to determine acetylcholinesterase activity in RBC’s, using the natural substrate, acetylcholine. Additionally, by using specific inhibitors, the kit can be used to detect AChE activity in a variety of samples. A series of coupled enzyme reactions quickly translates the presence of active AChE into a change in the fluorescence of a quenched detection reagent.

Fig. 1: Protein concentration for each sample was determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). The lysates were diluted in 1X reaction buffer and the indicated volumes add to the Fluoro AChE reaction (component A+B). Samples were incubated at room temperature in the dark for 10 minutes. Fluorescence was measured in a 96 well plate reader Ex: 530nm Em: 590nm. (ND= Not determined). Acetylcholine: 1mM final.

Fig.2 Red Blood Cell AChE (RBC-AChE) was purified and protein concentration determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). The RBC-AChE was titrated in 1X reaction buffer and activity determined using the Fluoro: AChE kit. Acetylcholine concentration = 1mM final. In the graph the background value has been subtracted (0 RBC-AChE) to generate standard curve.
