title: Is the induction of neuroblastoma differentiation by CCA mediated by its effects on the electrochemical gradient?
abstract: Various mitochondrial inhibitors are tested in neuroblastoma cells. Their effects on the mit-proteins and some cytoskeletal proteins are compared to those of CCA, a differentiation inducer. This comparison favours the hypothesis that the primary effect of CCA induction is an alteration of the electrochemical gradient.
