title: Cyclosporin A-sensitive permeability transition pore is involved in Cd(2+)-induced dysfunction of isolated rat liver mitochondria: doubts no more.
abstract: There is dose-dependent Cd(2+)-evoked swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria energized by complex I, II, or IV respiratory substrates in sucrose medium in the absence of added Ca(2+) and P(i), which is prevented by Sr(2+). Permeability transition effectors (ADP, CsA, EGTA, RR, DTT, ATR, P(i), and Ca(2+)) affect in a corresponding way Cd(2+)-promoted membrane permeabilization in NH(4)NO(3), KCl, and sucrose media. Maximal depression of Cd(2+)-induced swelling is achieved by simultaneous addition of ADP, Mg(2+), and CsA that produces either synergistic (NH(4)NO(3)) or additive (KCl and sucrose media) action. Sustained activation by low [Cd(2+)] of mitochondrial basal respiration in KCl medium is observed both in the absence and in the presence of rotenone and/or oligomycin but only in the latter case (rotenone+oligomycin) CsA inhibits completely Cd(2+) activation of St 4 respiration and partially reverses DNP-uncoupled respiration depressed by cadmium. Cd(2+) effects are discussed in terms of comparison with those of Zn(2+) and PhAsO.
