Mitochondrial control of neuron death and its role in neurodegenerative disorders

Abstract: Genetic or functional mitochondrial alterations can result in the initiation of cell death programs that are believed to contribute to cell death in diabetes, ageing and neurodegenerative disorders. Mitochondria are being considered the main link between cellular stress signals activated during acute and chronic nerve cell injury, and the execution of nerve cell death. This second function of mitochondria is regulated by several families of proteins that can trigger an increase in permeability of the outer and… Show more

“…Evidence for the occurrence of this permeability transition in situ has been gathered from astrocytes, neurons and a plethora of nonneuronal cells (Dubinsky and Levi, 1998;Jordan et al, 2003). When neuronal cytosolic Ca 2+ is elevated with an excitotoxic dose of glutamate, mitochondria depolarize in a manner that may or may not be sensitive to inhibitors of the permeability transition (Brustovetsky and Dubinsky, 2000b;Reynolds, 1999).…”

“…Mitochondria act as a transient Ca 2+ sink during rapid events that increase cytosolic Ca 2+ , such as the neuronal action potential , and during longer lasting events associated with Ca 2+ waves (Landgraf era/., 2004 depolarization, swelling, and an eventual inability of mitochondria to sequester the calcium. Evidence for the occurrence of this permeability transition in situ has been gathered from astrocytes, neurons, and a plethora of nonneuronal cells (Dubinsky and Levi, 1998;Jordan et al, 2003;. When neuronal cytosolic Ca 2+ is elevated with an excitotoxic dose of glutamate, mitochondria depolarize in a manner that may or may not be sensitive to inhibitors of the permeability transition (Brustovetsky and Dubinsky, 2000b;Reynolds, 1999).…”

“…This process is usually limited by endogenous buffers including proteins like calbindin and organelles like mitochondria. However, if mitochondria take up too much Ca2+, they favor the delayed rise in [Ca2+]cyt [6] as well as the opening of the so-called mitochondrial [AU1] [AU2] permeability transition pore, a not well understood phenomenon that precedes release of cytochrome c and other pro-apoptotic factors culminating in apoptosis [7]. Therefore, changes in neuronal [Ca2+]cyt are critical in neuron apoptosis and cell death.…”
