We investigated the relationship between opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP),
mitochondrial depolarization, cytochrome c release, and occurrence of cell death in rat
hepatoma MH1C1 cells. Treatment with arachidonic acid or A23187 induces PTP opening in
situ with similar kinetics, as assessed by the calcein loading-Co 2+ quenching technique
(Petronilli, V., Miotto, G., Canton, M., Colonna, R., Bernardi, P., and Di Lisa, F.(1999)
Biophys. J. 76, 725–734). Yet depolarization, as assessed from the changes of …
