  • A catalytic amount of cytochrome c (cyto-c) added to the incubation medium of isolated mitochondria promotes the transfer of reducing equivalents from NADH to molecular oxygen inside the mitochondria, a process coupled to the generation of a membrane potential. This mimics in many aspects the early stages of those apoptotic pathways characterized by the persistence of mitochondrial membrane potential but with cyto-c already exported into the cytosol. In cyclosporin-sensitive and calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) a release of cyto-c can also be observed. However, in MPT uncoupled respiration associated with mitochondrial swelling and preceded by the complete dissipation of the membrane potential which cannot be restored with ATP addition or any other source of energy is immediately activated. The results obtained and discussed with regard to intactness of mitochondrial preparations indicate that MPT could be an apoptotic event downstream but not upstream of cyto-c release linked to the energy-requiring processes. In the early stages of apoptosis cytosolic cyto-c participates in the activation of caspases and at the same time can promote the oxidation of cytosolic NADH, making more energy available for the correct execution of the cell death program.

Abstract
  • A catalytic amount of cytochrome c (cyto-c) added to the incubation medium of isolated mitochondria promotes the transfer of reducing equivalents from extramitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in its reduced state (NADH) to molecular oxygen inside the mitochondria, a process coupled to the generation of a membrane potential. This mimics in many aspects the early stages of those apoptotic pathways characterized by the persistence of mitochondrial membrane potential but with cyto-c already exported into the cytosol. In cyclosporin-sensitive and calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) a release of cyto-c can also be observed. However, in MPT uncoupled respiration associated with mitochondrial swelling and preceded by the complete dissipation of the membrane potential which cannot be restored with ATP addition or any other source of energy is immediately activated. The results obtained and discussed with regard to intactness of mitochondrial preparations indicate that MPT could be an apoptotic event downstream but not upstream of cyto-c release linked to the energy-requiring processes. In the early stages of apoptosis cytosolic cyto-c participates in the activation of caspases and at the same time can promote the oxidation of cytosolic NADH, making more energy available for the correct execution of the cell death program. This hypothesis is not in contrast with available data in the literature showing that cyto-c is present in the cytosol of both control and apoptosis-induced cultured cell lines. (literal)
