Mitochondrial permeability transition pore is a potential drug target for neurodegeneration.
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) plays a central role in alterations of mitochondrial structure and function leading to neuronal injury relevant to aging and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). mPTP putatively consists of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) and cyclophilin D (CypD). Reactive oxygen spe...
متن کاملThe P66Shc/Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Pathway Determines Neurodegeneration
Mitochondrial-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis play a crucial role in neurodegenerative disease and aging. Both mitochondrial permeability transition (PT) and swelling of mitochondria have been involved in neurodegeneration. Indeed, knockout mice for cyclophilin-D (Cyc-D), a key regulatory component of the PT pore (PTP) that triggers mitochondrial swelling, resulted to be protected in pr...
متن کاملThe 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 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...
متن کاملMitochondrial permeability transition pore and postconditioning.
Postconditioning has recently been described as a powerful cardioprotection that prevents lethal reperfusion injury. Growing evidence suggests that mitochondrial permeability transition may be a key event in postconditioning. This proposition arises from the complementary observations that: (1) conditions for the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening are built up during earl...
