The use of the Petri net method in the simulation modeling of mitochondrial swelling
Using photon correlation spectroscopy, which allows investigating changes in the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles in suspension, it was shown that ultrahigh concentrations of Ca2+ (over 10 mM) induce swelling of isolated mitochondria. An increase in hydrodynamic diameter was caused by an incr...

| Summary: | Using photon correlation spectroscopy, which allows investigating changes in the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles in suspension, it was shown that ultrahigh concentrations of Ca2+ (over 10 mM) induce swelling of isolated mitochondria. An increase in hydrodynamic diameter was caused by an increase of non-specific mitochondrial membrane permeability to Ca ions, matrix Ca2+ overload, activation of ATP- and Ca2+-sensitive K+-channels, as well as activation of cyclosporin-sensitive permeability transition pore. To formalize the experimental data and to assess conformity of experimental results with theoretical predictions we developed a simulation model using the hybrid functional Petri net method. |
