Triphenyltin as inductor of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition

The effect of triphenyltin on mitochondrial Ca2+ content was studied. It was found that this trialkyltin compound induces an increase in membrane permeability that leads to Ca2+ release, drop of the transmembrane potential, and efflux of matrix proteins. Interestingly, cyclosporin A was unable to inhibit triphenyltin-induced Ca2+ release. Based on these results it is proposed that the hyperpermeable state is produced by modification of 2.25 nmol of membrane thiol groups.
