The mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
This chapter reviews recent advances in the identification of the structural elements of the permeability transition pore. The discovery that cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the pore proved instrumental. Various approaches indicate that CsA blocks the pore by binding to cyclophilin (CyP)-D. In particular, covalent labelling of CyP-D in situ by a photoactive CsA derivative has shown that pore ligan...
متن کاملMitochondrial Permeability Transition in Rat
42 Onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is the penultimate event 43 leading to lethal cellular ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the mechanisms precipitating 44 the MPT after reperfusion remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of 45 mitochondrial free Ca and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pHand MPT-dependent 46 reperfusion injury to hepatocytes. Cultured rat hepatocy...
متن کاملPostconditioning inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition.
BACKGROUND Brief periods of ischemia performed just at the time of reperfusion can reduce infarct size, a phenomenon called "postconditioning." After reflow, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) has been involved in lethal reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that postconditioning may modulate mPTP opening. METHODS AND RESULTS Anesthetized open-chest rabbits underwe...
متن کاملQuantification of active mitochondrial permeability transition pores using GNX-4975 inhibitor titrations provides insights into molecular identity
Inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) by the novel inhibitor GNX-4975 was characterized. Titration of MPTP activity in de-energized rat liver mitochondria allowed determination of the number of GNX-4975-binding sites and their dissociation constant (Ki). Binding sites increased in number when MPTP opening was activated by increasing [Ca(2+)], phenylarsine oxide (PA...
متن کاملMitochondrial permeability transition pore: an enigmatic gatekeeper
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is a transient structure formed in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) upon oxidative challenge of the organelle. The transition is a Ca 2+ -dependent increase of permeability of IMM leading to loss of transmembrane potential (∆ψm), mitochondrial swelling and, finally, rupture of outer mitochondrial membrane leading to release of factors caus...
