The 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 کاملThe permeability transition pore complex: another view.
Mitochondria play a critical role in initiating both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. A major player in this process is the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), a non-specific pore, permeant to any molecule of < 1.5 kDa, that opens in the inner mitochondrial membrane under conditions of elevated matrix [Ca(2+)], especially when this is accompanied by oxidative stress and deplete...
متن کاملPhysiological roles of the permeability transition pore.
Mitochondria are implicated in many important cellular functions covering the whole life cycle from mitochondrial biogenesis to cell death. Mitochondrial homeostasis is tightly regulated, and mitochondrial dysfunction is frequently associated with severe human pathologies (eg, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegeneration). The permeability transition pore (PTP) is an unselective volta...
متن کاملMitochondrial 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...
