A difference spectrum with a peak of absorbance at 526nm appears slowly upon addition of valinomycin or KCN in combination with oligomycin to a hepatocyte suspension in the presence of safranine. When the cells are incubated at 37 degrees C in a medium containing safranine, a slow decrease in the absorbance occurs at the wavelength pair 524-484 nm. The change in absorbance is completed within 20-30 min after additions of cells to a medium containing safranine. At this time the safranine concentration of the outer medium is considerably decreased. The safranine signal is completely reversed by valinomycin, carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-hydrazone or KCN in combination with oligomycin. None of these treatments have any immediate effect on cellular ATP concentrations or the 36Cl- equilibrium potential across the plasma membrane. In the presence of iodoacetate a slow reversal of the trace can be induced upon addition of KCN, but not of oligomycin alone. Rotenone, in combination with oligomycin, does not reverse the safranine signal except when both KF and iodoacetate are present, in which case a slow reversal is seen. A subsequent addition of duroquinone brings back the signal to the same level as in the presence of rotenone alone. The results indicate that the spectral response of safranine in the presence of isolated hepatocytes is a result of a slow penetration of safranine into intracellular mitochondria, where aggregation of safranine molecules occurs as a response to the mitochondrial membrane potential.
