✦ Synopsis


Comparison of Ca2+ uptake by isolated mouse liver mitochondria, and mitochondria prepared from mastocytoma cells grown with and without N6,O2'-dibutyryladenosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (DB cyclic AMP) and theophylline showed several differences in their capacity to take up and retain calcium. In particular mitochondria from DB cyclic AMP-treated mastocytoma cells took up more Ca2+ than mitochondria from untreated mastocytoma cells. Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria from DB cyclic AMP-treated cells was also increased in the presence of oxalate whereas oxalate did not affect Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria from untreated mastocytoma cells and it reduced Ca2+ uptake by mouse liver mitochrondria. The results suggest that inhibiting the growth of mastocytoma cells with DB cyclic AMP alters their mitochondrial Ca2+ metabolism.
