Abstract

How pH<subscript>i</subscript> changes, more specifically alkalinization, affect the apoptotic cascade has yet to be determined. The aim of the present work was to test the involvement of mitochondria in the apoptotic cascade triggered by benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] and to determine the role of pH<subscript>i</subscript> changes and p53 relative to mitochondria. Our results indicate that B(a)P-induced apoptosis might rely upon a p53-dependent and a pH-sensitive mitochondrial dysfunction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
