Abstract excerpt
G93A Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), a human mutant SOD1 associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, increased the toxicity of the mitochondrial toxin rotenone in the NSC-34 motoneuronal cell line. G93ASOD1 cells died more than untransfected and wild-type SOD1 cells after 6 and 24h exposure to 12.5 microM rotenone. Biparametric flow cytometry showed that rotenone induced rapid hyperpolarization of...
