Abstract
Apoptosis induction in renal epithelial cells caused by exposure to ochratoxin A (OTA) was studied. Nanomolar concentrations of OTA led to activation of caspase 3 with subsequent chromatin condensation and DNA ladder formation, both characteristic for cells undergoing apoptosis. Inhibition of the mitochondrial ATP/ADP carrier prevented OTA induced caspase activation showing that intact mitochondria are necessary for OTA induced apoptosis.Entities:
