Cytochrome c is a pivotal protein that resides in mitochondria as component of mitochondria respiration and apoptosis initiator. Using murine cells lacking cytochrome c, we showed here that cytochrome c-deficient cells had attenuated reactive oxygen species/nitric oxide and micronuclei induction to radiation-induced bystander signals, indicating cytochrome c is essential for the bystander effect.
细胞色素c是一种关键蛋白质,作为线粒体呼吸的组成部分和凋亡启动因子存在于线粒体中。我们利用缺乏细胞色素c的鼠细胞表明,缺乏细胞色素c的细胞对辐射诱导的旁观者信号所产生的活性氧/一氧化氮和微核诱导作用减弱,这表明细胞色素c对旁观者效应至关重要。
