Title: | Chenodeoxycholate induction of mitochondrial permeability transition pore is associated with increased membrane fluidity and cytochrome c release: protective role of carvedilol | Authors: | Rolo, Anabela P. Oliveira, Paulo J. Moreno, António J. Palmeira, Carlos M. |
Keywords: | Chenodeoxycholate; Carvedilol; Mitochondria; Cholestasis; Cardiomyopathy; Mitochondrial permeability transition; Membrane fluidity | Issue Date: | 2003 | Citation: | Mitochondrion. 2:4 (2003) 305-311 | Abstract: | Chenodeoxycholate (CDCA) is a primary bile acid mostly implicated in cholestatic liver injury. In this study, we have investigated the involvement of membrane fluidity and cytochrome c release in CDCA-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), and the preventive role of carvedilol. Treatment of calcium-loaded hepatic mitochondria with CDCA was found to cause osmotic swelling and release of cytochrome c, associated with an increase in membrane fluidity, in both protein and lipid regions. Carvedilol and cyclosporine A (CyA) reduced both cytochrome c release and alterations in membrane fluidity induced by CDCA. The hydroxylated metabolite of carvedilol, BM-910228, had no effect. Thus, modulation of membrane fluidity, plays an important role in MPT pore opening promoted by CDCA. As a result, we have delineated a pathway for the preventive role of carvedilol in mitochondrial dysfunction induced by CDCA. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5405 | DOI: | 10.1016/S1567-7249(03)00007-2 | Rights: | openAccess |
