摘要
This paper explores the relationship between Bax and the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP). Isolated human colon tumor (HCT116) Bax(-) mitochondria exposed to recombinant Bax exhibited a slow, cyclosporin A-sensitive swelling, but only at [Bax] > 200 nM. The amount of Bax incorporated was much higher than that found in organelles isolated from HCT116 Bax(+) staurosporine- or etoposide-treated apoptotic cells, casting doubts on the significance of the putative PT induction for apoptosis. Bax did not influence the electrophysiological properties of an approximately 1 nS channel ascribed to the Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition pore. These observations indicate that the PTP is independent of Bax. (c) 2005 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
