Popis: | Calcium ions accumulated by tightly-coupled mitochondria from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells, fail to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation [l] . As a consequence, a number of energy-linked reactions in these mitochondria also are unaffected by high concentrations of Ca2+ [2-41. Especially significant is the finding that aspects of this resistance to Ca2+ are seen as well in mitochondria isolated from several ascitic and solid tumours but not in those from rapidlydividing cells of regenerating rat liver [5] . The purpose of the present study was two-fold; first to establish by a kinetic analysis [6] whether a Ca2’ transport system exists in the ascites tumour mitochondria similar to that in mitochondria from normal mammalian cells (cf. [7]) and second, to determine if any properties of this transport system might be sufficiently abnormal as to contribute to the observed resistance of the tumour mitochondria to the accumulated Ca’+. |
