摘要: Cell surface 'blebbing' is an early consequence of hypoxic and toxic injury to cells. A rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ has been suggested as the stimulus for bleb formation final common pathway irreversible cell injury. Here, using digitized low-light video microscopy, we examine blebbing, Ca2+, mitochondrial membrane potential loss viability individual cultured hepatocytes. Unexpectedly, found that after 'chemical hypoxia' with cyanide iodoacetate, does not change during or before cellular viability. death was precipitated by a sudden breakdown plasma permeability barrier, possibly caused rupture bleb.
