Abstract

Mitochondria play an important role in energy production, Ca2+ homeostasis and cell death. In recent years, the role of the mitochondria in apoptotic and necrotic cell death has attracted much attention. In apoptosis and necrosis, the mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT), which leads to disruption of the mitochondrial membranes and mitochondrial dysfunction, is considered to be one of the key events, although its exact role in cell death remains elusive. We therefore created mice lacking cyclophilin D (CypD), a protein considered to be involved in the mPT, to analyse its role in cell death. CypD-deficient mice were developmentally normal and showed no apparent anomalies, but CypD-deficient mitochondria did not undergo the cyclosporin A-sensitive mPT. CypD-deficient cells died normally in response to various apoptotic stimuli, but showed resistance to necrotic cell death induced by reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ overload. In addition, CypD-deficient mice showed a high level of resistance to ischaemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac injury. Our results indicate that the CypD-dependent mPT regulates some forms of necrotic death, but not apoptotic death.

  • To date, PPIF (CYPD) is the only protein whose in vivo requirement for MPT induction has been formally validated with robust genetic tools.

    “To date, peptidylprolyl isomerase F (PPIF; best known as cyclophilin D, CYPD) is the only protein whose in vivo requirement for MPT induction has been formally validated with robust genetic tools (although there is consensus around the notion that CYPD does not constitute the pore-forming unit of the PTPC) [376–379].”
  • There is consensus that CYPD does not constitute the pore-forming unit of PTPC.

  • MPT pore formation can occur in response to many stimuli, including Ca2+ overload and oxidant stress.

    “Formation of the pore can occur in response to many stimuli, including Ca2+ overload and oxidant stress, but MPT does not play a role in all forms of apoptosis (46, 125, 309, 438).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
