Cyclosporin A inhibits apoptosis of human endothelial cells by preventing release of cytochrome C from mitochondria.

BACKGROUND Several experimental and clinical studies suggest that cyclosporin A (CSA) treatment reduces transplant atherosclerosis. Because oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is believed to play a key role in the development of atherogenesis, causing injury to the endothelium, and has been shown to induce apoptosis of endothelial cells, we investigated whether CSA inhibits oxLDL-induced apoptosis. METHODS ...

Cytochrome c release from mitochondria in the aging heart: a possible mechanism for apoptosis with age.

There is a loss of myocytes in the aging heart due to necrosis and apoptosis. Oxidative stress, an apoptosis-inducing signal, may also increase in the aging heart. Cytosol and mitochondria isolated from the left and right ventricle of the hearts of 6-, 16-, and 24-mo-old male Fischer 344 rats were used to measure key markers of apoptosis and to assess oxidative stress. Cytosolic cytochrome c co...

The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria: a primary site for Bcl-2 regulation of apoptosis.

In a cell-free apoptosis system, mitochondria spontaneously released cytochrome c, which activated DEVD-specific caspases, leading to fodrin cleavage and apoptotic nuclear morphology. Bcl-2 acted in situ on mitochondria to prevent the release of cytochrome c and thus caspase activation. During apoptosis in intact cells, cytochrome c translocation was similarly blocked by Bcl-2 but not by a casp...

Bax directly induces release of cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria.

Bax is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family that resides in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It is controversial whether Bax promotes cell death directly through its putative function as a channel protein versus indirectly by inhibiting cellular regulators of the cell death proteases (caspases). We show here that addition of submicromolar amounts of recombinant Bax protein to iso...

Polyamines directly induce release of cytochrome c from heart mitochondria.

Cytochrome c release from mitochondria to the cytosol represents a critical step in apoptosis, correlated to the activation of the caspase cascade. In this report, we show that addition of micromolar concentrations of polyamines to isolated rat heart mitochondria induces the release of cytochrome c. Spermine, which is effective at concentrations of 10-100 microM, is more potent than spermidine,...
