Abstract

The inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation induced fragmentation of mitochondria without any signs of apoptosis in CV-1 and HeLa cells. Prolonged treatment with the uncouplers (alone or in combination with the inhibitors of respiration) caused perinuclear clusterization of mitochondria, followed by their selective elimination. The fraction of mitochondria-depleted cells remained viable.
