A23187: a divalent cation ionophore.
A23187 is a carboxylic acid antibiotic which simultaneously uncouples oxidative phosphorylation and inhibits ATPase of rat liver mitochondria incubated in a magnesium-free medium. The antibiotic acts as a freely mobile carrier to transport calcium and magnesium, but not potassium, from an aqueous medium buffered at pH 7.4 into a bulk organic phase. A23187 causes a progressive release of endogen...
متن کاملParthenogenetic Activation of Porcine Oocytes by Calcium Ionophore A23187
This study was designated to clarify the influence of activation of porcine matured oocytes by calcium ionophore on in vitro development of the parthenotes. The follicular oocytes were matured, activated and cultured in North Carolina State University-23 (NCSU-23) medium supplemented with 10% porcine follicular fluid (pFF). The in vitro-matured oocytes were exposed to calcium ionophore at conce...
متن کاملChromosome aberrations in human spermatozoa treated with Ca2+ ionophore A23187.
Incorporation of A23187 ionophore into the human-hamster fertilization system clearly improves the ability of human spermatozoa to penetrate zona-free hamster oocytes. Thus, an increasing number of laboratories working in human sperm cytogenetics have substituted classical incubation with Biggers-Whitten-Whittingham (BWW) medium plus human serum albumin (HSA) by pretreatment of spermatozoa with...
متن کاملCalcium dependence of ionophore A23187-induced lymphocyte cytotoxicity.
Concentrations of the divalent cation ionophore, A23187, optimal for the transformation of human and pig lymphocytes, were cytotoxic to lymphocytes from rats and mice. The biochemical effects associated with A23187-induced cytolysis in rat thymocytes included inhibition of [3H]uridine uptake and incorporation into macromolecules and stimulation of [14C]-alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake. The bi...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent shortening of fibroblasts induced by the ionophore, A23187.
Attached, spread, chick heart fibroblasts were induced to shorten by treatment with the ionophore, A23187. The shortening resulted from the retraction of the leading lamellae and other major cell processes. The response was dependent on external calcium with a threshold close to, and a maximal effect at, physiological concentrations. The shortening was also induced in Colcemid-treated cells and...
