• TFOBO increases Bax/Bcl2 levels, caspase9, and caspase3/7 activity and decreases mitochondrial membrane potential. (bvsalud.org)
  • Ca 2+ added from the outer side of mitochondrial membrane produced dual effect on mPTP activity: activation at the onset of depolarization, but consequent promotion of mPTP closure. (ukrbiochemjournal.org)
  • Based on the experiments, it was concluded that mitochondrial energization was required for prolonged mPTP functioning in sub-conductance states, whereas membrane depolarization promoted the transition of mPTP to inactive state during calcium release from mitochondria. (ukrbiochemjournal.org)
  • It was shown that bioenergetic effects of MPTP opening under steady state conditions (increase in the oxygen consumption rate under substrate oxidation without ADP, decrease in respiratory control ratio as well as the effectiveness of ATP synthesis, P/O) are close to the functional alterations, which result from the increase of endogenous proton conductance of mitochondrial membrane.

  • ABC transporters are considered to be an ABC superfamily based on the similarities of the sequence and organization of their ATP-binding cassette (ABC) domains, even though the integral membrane proteins appear to have evolved independently several times, and thus comprise different protein families.

  • K ATP channels, widely represented in metabolically active tissues, are hetero-octamers composed of four regulatory SUR subunits (SUR1, SUR2A, or SUR2B) and four ATP-sensitive pore-forming inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir6.x) subunits (Kir6.1 or Kir6.2) [ 20 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

  • ABC transporters utilize the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to transport various substrates across cellular membranes. (wikipedia.org)
  • Specifically, current through recombinant wild-type SUR1/Kir6.2 channels expressed in COS7 cells was activated by NO, but channels formed only from truncated isoform Kir6.2 subunits without SUR1 subunits were insensitive to NO. Further, mutagenesis of SUR1 indicated that NO-induced K ATP channel activation involves interaction of NO with residues in the NBD1 of the SUR1 subunit. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Because their opening is determined by the cytosolic ADP/ATP ratio, K ATP channels act as metabolic sensors, linking cytosolic energetics with cellular functions in various tissues [ 21 , 22 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The ATPase subunits utilize the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding and hydrolysis to provide the energy needed for the translocation of substrates across membranes, either for uptake or for export of the substrate. (wikipedia.org)
  • The capacity of NO to activate K ATP channels via this mechanism remains intact even after spinal nerve ligation, thus providing opportunities for selective pharmacological enhancement of K ATP current even after decrease of this current by painful-like nerve injury. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Furthermore, activation of K ATP channels is suppressed in DRG neurons after painful-like nerve injury. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Cell-attached and cell-free recordings of K ATP currents in large DRG neurons from control rats (sham surgery, SS) revealed activation of K ATP channels by NO exogenously released by the NO donor SNAP, through decreased sensitivity to [ATP]i. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This NO-induced K ATP channel activation was not altered in ganglia from animals that demonstrated sustained hyperalgesia-type response to nociceptive stimulation following spinal nerve ligation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • However, baseline opening of K ATP channels and their activation induced by metabolic inhibition was suppressed by axotomy. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Failure to block the NO-mediated amplification of K ATP currents with specific inhibitors of sGC and PKG indicated that the classical sGC/cGMP/PKG signaling pathway was not involved in the activation by SNAP. (biomedcentral.com)
  • NO-induced activation of K ATP channels remained intact in cell-free patches, was reversed by DTT, a thiol-reducing agent, and prevented by NEM, a thiol-alkylating agent. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Therefore, we investigated NO modulation of K ATP channels in control and axotomized DRG neurons. (biomedcentral.com)
