Ceramide induces cytochrome c release from isolated mitochondria.
This chapter addresses the role of mitochondria in apoptosis. Emphasis is put on the recently observed influence of ceramides on mitochondrial functions. We report here that N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide), N-hexanoylsphingosine (C6-ceramide) and, to a much lesser extent, C2-dihydroceramide, induce cytochrome c (cyt c) release from isolated rat liver mitochondria. Ceramide-induced cyt c relea...
متن کاملBax 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...
متن کاملPaclitaxel induces release of cytochrome c from mitochondria isolated from human neuroblastoma cells'.
Paclitaxel is an antimicrotubule agent that induces mitotic block and apoptosis. We show for the first time that paclitaxel acts directly or mitochondria isolated from human cancer cells. In isolated yeast mito chondria, paclitaxel (15 microM) induced an 18% increase in the respiration rate, with no concomitant release of cytochrome c. In isolated neuroblas toma mitochondria, paclitaxel (10-100...
متن کاملSchizophrenia Induces Oxidative Stress and Cytochrome C Release in Isolated Rat Brain Mitochondria: a Possible Pathway for Induction of Apoptosis and Neurodegeneration
Schizophrenia is a chronic and often debilitating illness which affects about 1% of the world population. Some reagents have been used to simulate schizophrenic disorders in laboratory animals, such as amphetamine and ketamine. Previous studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced levels of ATP, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis are involved in the pathoph...
متن کاملTributyltin interacts with mitochondria and induces cytochrome c release.
Although triorganotins are potent inducers of apoptosis in various cell types, the critical targets of these compounds and the mechanisms by which they lead to cell death remain to be elucidated. There are two major pathways by which apoptotic cell death occurs: one is triggered by a cytokine mediator and the other is by a mitochondrion-dependent mechanism. To elucidate the mechanism of triorga...
