Mitochondria become targets for autophagic degradation after nutrient deprivation, a process also termed mitophagy. In this study, we used LysoTracker Red (LTR) and MitoTracker Green to characterize the kinetics of autophagosomal proliferation and mitophagy in cultured rat hepatocytes. Autophagy induced by nutrient deprivation plus glucagon increased LTR uptake assessed with a fluorescence plat...
We have used mitochondrial entrapment of 2-deoxy-d-[3H]glucose (2-DG) to demonstrate that recovery of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts from ischemia is accompanied by reversal of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). In hearts loaded with 2-DG before 40 min of ischemia and 25 min of reperfusion, 2-DG entrapment [expressed as 105 × (mitochondrial 2-[3H]DG dpm per unit citrate synthase)...
BACKGROUND Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a central role in liver fibrogenesis, and apoptosis of activated HSCs might be essential to clear HSCs from injured liver. Gliotoxin induces apoptosis of activated human and rat HSCs by an unknown mechanism. AIM This study investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and membrane permeability transition (MPT) in gliotoxin-induc...
Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K (mitoK(ATP)) channels play a central role in protecting the heart from injury in ischemic preconditioning. In isolated mitochondria exposed to elevated extramitochondrial Ca, P(i), and anoxia to simulate ischemic conditions, the selective mitoK(ATP) channel agonist diazoxide (25-50 microM) potently reduced mitochondrial injury by preventing both the mitochondrial p...
Triterpenoids are a large class of naturally occurring compounds, and some potentially interesting as anticancer agents have been found to target mitochondria. The objective of the present work was to investigate the mechanisms of mitochondrial toxicity induced by novel dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) derivatives of pentacyclic triterpenes, which were previously shown to inhibit the growth of mela...
A variety of key events in the molecular apoptotic pathway involve the mitochondria. Cyclosporin A (csA) affects the mitochondria by inhibiting the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), thereby preventing disruption of the transmembrane potential. The role of the MPT in apoptosis is not fully understood, but inhibition of the MPT may prevent the release of mitochondrial caspase activator...
The novel retinoid 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphtalene carboxylic acid (AHPN/CD437), a retinoic acid receptor (RAR)gamma activator, has been found to inhibit the growth and to induce apoptosis of a wide variety of malignant cell types including solid tumors and various leukemias. Interestingly, CD437 is able to induce apoptosis in some all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-resistant model...
The aggravating effect of hyperglycemia on ischemic brain injury can be mimicked in a model of in vitro ischemia (IVI) using murine hippocampal slice cultures. Using this model, we found that the damage in the CA1 region following IVI in the absence or presence of 40 mm glucose (hyperglycemia) is highly temperature dependent. Decreasing the temperature from 35 to 31 degrees C during IVI prevent...
The objective of the present study was to validate the presence and explore the characteristics of mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) in isolated mitochondria from human heart tissue in order to investigate if previous findings in animal models of cardiac disorders are translatable to human disease. Mitochondria were rapidly isolated from fresh atrial tissue samples obtained from 14 pa...
Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) is a chlorination by-product in finished drinking water and a toxic metabolite of a wide variety of industrial chemicals (e.g. vinyl chloride) and chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide). In this research, the cytotoxic mechanisms of CAA in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated.CAA cytotoxicity was associated with reactive oxygen spec...
