Bleb Formation in Hepatocytes During Drug Metabolism Is Caused by Disturbances in Thiol and Calcium Ion Homeostasis

Abstract

A wide variety of toxic chemicals cause blebbing of the plasma membrane in isolated hepatocytes. These alterations in surface structure occur well before cell death. The formation of blebs appears to be directly related to changes in the concentration of extramitochondrial calcium ions. These changes probably reduce the ability of the hepatocyte cytoskeleton to maintain normal surface morphology. The concentration of soluble thiols, notably glutathione, appears to regulate the size of the extramitochondrial calcium ion pool. Disturbances in intracellular thiol and calcium ion homeostasis therefore seem to be responsible for the surface blebbing observed during toxic injury to isolated hepatocytes.

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.
