Beschreibung:
Opening of a high-conductance pore conducting solutes of molecular mass <1,500 Da causes onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Cyclosporin A blocks this pore and prevents acute necrotic cell death in several models. Confocal microscopy directly visualizes onset of the MPT during acute cytotoxicity from the movement of the green-fluorescing fluorophore, calcein, into the mitochondria from the cytosol. The MPT also plays a causative role in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced apoptosis in hepatocytes. Progression to apoptosis or necrosis after the MPT may depend on the presence or absence, respectively, of ATP. Often, features of both apoptotic and necrotic cell death develop after death signals and toxic stresses. The term “necrapoptosis” is introduced to emphasize the shared pathways leading to both forms of cell death.
