[CAS NO. 370-86-5]  FCCP

FCCP treatment induces a very rapid 2-fold increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration that is accompanied by a strong protein synthesis rate inhibition. The translation inhibition correlates with an increased phosphorylation of the α subunit of eIF2 (eIF2α) and a 1.7-fold increase in the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activity.FCCP treatment also mildly decreases ATP and reactive oxygen species levels. It increases the expression of mitochondrial genes such as Tfam and COXIV while inducing morphological features of quiescent mouse HSCs and abrogating TGF-β signal transduction.
