Mitochondrial membrane potential modulates regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ in rat ventricular myocytes.
Although recent studies focused on the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ to the mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury, the regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ under pathophysiological conditions remains largely unclear. By using saponin-permeabilized rat myocytes, we measured mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) and mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](m)) at the physiological r...
متن کاملMitochondrial membrane potential in cardiac myocytes.
Mitochondria are involved in cellular functions that transcend the traditional role of these organelles as the energy factory of the cell. Their relative inaccessibility and the difficulties involved in attempts to study them in their natural environment -- the cytosol -- has delayed much of this understanding and they still have many secrets to yield. One of the relatively new fields in this r...
متن کاملLidocaine and mexiletine inhibit mitochondrial oxidation in rat ventricular myocytes.
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests that mitochondrial rather than sarcolemmal adenosine triphosphate-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels may have an important role in the protection of myocardium during ischemia. Because both lidocaine and mexiletine are frequently used antiarrhythmic drugs during myocardial ischemia, it is important to investigate whether they affect mitochondrial K(ATP) cha...
متن کاملMitochondrial Ca2+-activated K+ channels more efficiently reduce mitochondrial Ca2+ overload in rat ventricular myocytes.
We investigated the role of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel, the mitochondrial big-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channel, and the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) in the ouabain-induced increase of mitochondrial Ca(2+) in native rat ventricular myocytes by loading cells with rhod 2-AM. To overload mitochondrial Ca(2+), we pretreated cells with...
متن کاملFree tubulin modulates mitochondrial membrane potential in cancer cells.
Formation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) depends on flux of respiratory substrates, ATP, ADP, and Pi through voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC). As tubulin promotes single-channel closure of VDAC, we hypothesized that tubulin is a dynamic regulator of ΔΨ, which in cultured cancer cells was assessed by confocal microscopy of the potential-indicating fluorophore tetramethylrhod...
