Abstract

Organization of the actin cytoskeleton, the cytosolic free-calcium concentrations and ATP levels were analyzed in 3T3 mouse fibroblasts treated with 0.75 or 1.5 mM MPTP. In the presence of the drug actin filaments were time- and dose-dependently presently disorganized, ATP level was unaffected and intracellular calcium increased within 5 s. The correlation between MPTP cytotoxicity and [Ca2+]i level emerging from these results, suggests that the primary effect of the molecule itself is on the plasma membrane's integrity for calcium ion regulation. © 1994.
