Hydrogen peroxide preconditioning protects PC12 cells against apoptosis induced by dopamine.

Dopamine (DA), one of the major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is implicated in neuronal death associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Preconditioning with oxidative stress has been shown to provide cytoprotection similar to ischemic preconditioning (IPC), against cell apoptosis. In this study, using the model neurosecretory cell line, PC12, we investigated whether hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) at low concentration (10 microM) can protect PC12 cells against apoptosis induced by DA. PC12 cells were preconditioned with 10 microM H(2)O(2) for 90 min, followed by 24-h recovery and subsequent exposures to different concentrations (20, 50, 100 and 200 microM) of DA for 24-h, respectively. DA induced apoptotic cell death with significant morphological nuclear changes and DNA fragmentation as well as the dysfunction of mitochondria. Preconditioning with H(2)O(2) at 10 microM significantly reduced the percentage of apoptotic cells and partly blocked the decreases in 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) induced by DA. These results suggest that preconditioning with low concentration of H(2)O(2) protected PC12 cells against DA-induced apoptosis, the part restoration of the damaged mitochondrial functions might be one of the underlying mechanisms of this cytoprotection.

Cyclosporin A-sensitive permeability transition pore is involved in Cd(2+)-induced dysfunction of isolated rat liver mitochondria: doubts no more.

There is dose-dependent Cd(2+)-evoked swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria energized by complex I, II, or IV respiratory substrates in sucrose medium in the absence of added Ca(2+) and P(i), which is prevented by Sr(2+). Permeability transition effectors (ADP, CsA, EGTA, RR, DTT, ATR, P(i), and Ca(2+)) affect in a corresponding way Cd(2+)-promoted membrane permeabilization in NH(4)NO(3), KCl, and sucrose media. Maximal depression of Cd(2+)-induced swelling is achieved by simultaneous addition of ADP, Mg(2+), and CsA that produces either synergistic (NH(4)NO(3)) or additive (KCl and sucrose media) action. Sustained activation by low [Cd(2+)] of mitochondrial basal respiration in KCl medium is observed both in the absence and in the presence of rotenone and/or oligomycin but only in the latter case (rotenone+oligomycin) CsA inhibits completely Cd(2+) activation of St 4 respiration and partially reverses DNP-uncoupled respiration depressed by cadmium. Cd(2+) effects are discussed in terms of comparison with those of Zn(2+) and PhAsO.

Effect of in vitro ischemic or hypoxic treatment on mitochondrial electron transfer activity in rat brain slices assessed by gas-tissue autoradiography using.

We have investigated the effect of in vitro ischemic or hypoxic treatment on mitochondrial electron transport function in brain slices using gas-tissue autoradiography technique with [15O]O2. Brain slices were preincubated in Krebs-Ringer phosphate medium bubbled with 100% O2 for 30 min at 37 degrees C. (1) Control culture was incubated in the same medium bubbled with 100% O2 for 5-40 min at 37 degrees C, then for another 30 min under the same conditions. (2) In vitro ischemia was induced by placing the culture in the medium deprived of glucose and bubbled with 100% N2 for 5-40 min, then returning it to control conditions and culturing for another 30 min. (3) In vitro hypoxia was induced by placing the culture in the medium with glucose and bubbled with 100% N2 for 5-40 min, then returning it to the control conditions for 30 min. After the three different treatments, the [15O]O2 fixation by brain slices reflect to mitochondrial electron transport function was determined using gas-tissue autoradiography technique with [15O]O2. The fixation of [15O]O2 by striatum, cerebral cortex and hippocampus was reduced dependent upon the period of in vitro ischemic treatment. In contrast, the [15O]O2 fixation by those brain regions was only slightly reduced by hypoxia treatment. The reduction in [15O]O2 fixation induced by ischemic treatment was prevented by an antioxidant: glutathione, glutathione monoethyl ester or acetylsalicylic acid. The preventive effect of antioxidants on the mitochondrial damage induced by ischemia was more remarkable in the striatum than in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In the comparison of [15O]O2 fixation between ischemia-treated young and senescent brain slices, reduction of 15O fixation by every brain region examined was more prominent in senescence than in the young. These results suggest that gas-tissue autoradiography using [15O]O2 is useful to assess mitochondrial electron transport dysfunction induced by ischemia treatment in brain slices and that the oxidative stress participates in the mechanism of ischemia-induced dysfunction in mitochondria.

Defining the mitochondrial proteomes from five rat organs in a physiologically significant context using 2D blue-native/SDS-PAGE.

In accordance with their manifold tasks, various dysfunctions of mitochondria are critically involved in a large number of diseases and the aging process. This has inspired considerable efforts to identify all the mitochondrial proteins by denaturing approaches, notably, the standard gel-based method employing isoelectric focusing. Because a significant part of the mitochondrial proteome is membrane-associated and/or functions as homo- or heterooligomeric protein complexes, there is an urgent need to detect and identify mitochondrial proteins, both membranous and soluble ones, under conditions preserving protein-protein interactions. Here, we investigated mitochondria of five different rat organs (kidney, liver, heart, skeletal muscle, and brain) solubilized with digitonin, enabling the quantitative extraction of the five oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes. The analysis by blue-native (BN)-PAGE recovered the OXPHOS complexes to a large extent as supercomplexes and separated many other protein complexes and individual proteins which were resolved by subsequent 2D SDS-PAGE revealing the tissue-diverse mitochondrial proteomes. Using MS peptide mass fingerprinting, we identified in all five organs 92 nonredundant soluble and membrane-embedded non-OXPHOS proteins, among them, many as constituents of known mitochondrial protein complexes as well as novel ones such as the putative "stomatin-like protein 2 complex" with an apparent mass of ca. 1800 kDa. Interestingly, the identification list included 36 proteins known or presumed to be localized to nonmitochondrial compartments, for example, glycolytic enzymes, clathrin heavy chain, valosin-containing protein/p97, VoV1-ATPase, and Na,K-ATPase. We expect that more than 200 distinct non-OXPHOS proteins of digitonin-solubilized rat mitochondria separated by 2D BN/SDS-PAGE, representing a partial "protein interactome" map, can be identified.

Metabolic impairment induces oxidative stress, compromises inflammatory responses, and inactivates a key mitochondrial enzyme in microglia.

Microglial activation, oxidative stress, and dysfunctions in mitochondria, including the reduction of cytochrome oxidase activity, have been implicated in neurodegeneration. The current experiments tested the effects of reducing cytochrome oxidase activity on the ability of microglia to respond to inflammatory insults. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase by azide reduced oxygen consumption and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production but did not affect cell viability. Azide also attenuated microglial activation, as measured by nitric oxide (NO.) production in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It is surprising that the inhibition of cytochrome oxidase also diminished the activity of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC), a Krebs cycle enzyme. This reduction was exaggerated when the azide-treated microglia were also treated with LPS. The combination of the azide-stimulated ROS and LPS-induced NO. would likely cause peroxynitrite formation in microglia. Thus, the possibility that KGDHC was inactivated by peroxynitrite was tested. Peroxynitrite inhibited the activity of isolated KGDHC, nitrated tyrosine residues of all three KGDHC subunits, and reduced immunoreactivity to antibodies against two KGDHC components. Thus, our data suggest that inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain diminishes aerobic energy metabolism, interferes with microglial inflammatory responses, and compromises mitochondrial function, including KGDHC activity, which is vulnerable to NO. and peroxynitrite that result from microglial activation. Thus, activation of metabolically compromised microglia can further diminish their oxidative capacity, creating a deleterious spiral that may contribute to neurodegeneration.

Isolated corticotrophin-deficiency found through alcohol-induced hypoglycemic coma.

A case of hypoglycemic coma after alcohol ingestion was observed in a chronic alcoholic. Upon close examination isolated corticotrophin-deficiency was found. It is suggested that ethanol-induced hypoglycemia may be consistent with dysfunction of mitochondria in hepatic cells and that there may be disorder of the hypothalamus in the chronic drinker.

Mutated human SOD1 causes dysfunction of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria of transgenic mice.

A growing body of evidence suggests that impaired mitochondrial energy production and increased oxidative radical damage to the mitochondria could be causally involved in motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and in familial ALS associated with mutations of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). For example, morphologically abnormal mitochondria and impaired mitochondrial histoenzymatic respiratory chain activities have been described in motor neurons of patients with sporadic ALS. To investigate further the role of mitochondrial alterations in the pathogenesis of ALS, we studied mitochondria from transgenic mice expressing wild type and G93A mutated hSOD1. We found that a significant proportion of enzymatically active SOD1 was localized in the intermembrane space of mitochondria. Mitochondrial respiration, electron transfer chain, and ATP synthesis were severely defective in G93A mice at the time of onset of the disease. We also found evidence of oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins and lipids. On the other hand, presymptomatic G93A transgenic mice and mice expressing the wild type form of hSOD1 did not show significant mitochondrial abnormalities. Our findings suggest that G93A-mutated hSOD1 in mitochondria may cause mitochondrial defects, which contribute to precipitating the neurodegenerative process in motor neurons.

Degradation of mitochondrial phospholipids during experimental cerebral ischemia in rats.

Changes in content of brain mitochondrial phospholipids were examined in rats after 30 and 60 min of decapitation ischemia compared with controls, to explore the degradation of the mitochondrial membrane and its relation to dysfunction of mitochondria. Activities of respiratory functions and respiratory enzymes (cytochrome c oxidase; F0F1-ATPase) decreased significantly during ischemia. Considerable decreases in cardiolipin and phosphatidylinositol content were observed after 60 min, and other phospholipids showed similar but nonsignificant decreases in content. The amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids chains, such as arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids, was reduced in each phospholipid, in some cases significantly, after 30 and 60 min of ischemia in time-dependent manners. Degradation of mitochondrial phospholipids during ischemia associated with the deterioration of mitochondrial respiratory functions suggested the significance of such changes in phospholipid content in disintegration of cellular energy metabolism during cerebral ischemia.

Structure of the hydrophilic domain of respiratory complex I from Thermus thermophilus.

Respiratory complex I plays a central role in cellular energy production in bacteria and mitochondria. Its dysfunction is implicated in many human neurodegenerative diseases, as well as in aging. The crystal structure of the hydrophilic domain (peripheral arm) of complex I from Thermus thermophilus has been solved at 3.3 angstrom resolution. This subcomplex consists of eight subunits and contains all the redox centers of the enzyme, including nine iron-sulfur clusters. The primary electron acceptor, flavin-mononucleotide, is within electron transfer distance of cluster N3, leading to the main redox pathway, and of the distal cluster N1a, a possible antioxidant. The structure reveals new aspects of the mechanism and evolution of the enzyme. The terminal cluster N2 is coordinated, uniquely, by two consecutive cysteines. The novel subunit Nqo15 has a similar fold to the mitochondrial iron chaperone frataxin, and it may be involved in iron-sulfur cluster regeneration in the complex.

Assessment of mitochondrial toxicity in human cells treated with tenofovir: comparison with other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Drug-associated dysfunction of mitochondria is believed to play a role in the etiology of the various adverse symptoms that occur in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients treated with the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Tenofovir, a nucleotide analog recently approved for use in the treatment of HIV infection, was evaluated in vitro for its potential to cause mitochondrial toxicity and was compared to currently used NRTIs. Treatment with tenofovir (3 to 300 microM) for up to 3 weeks produced no significant changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells, skeletal muscle cells (SkMCs), or renal proximal tubule epithelial cells. The potencies of inhibition of mtDNA synthesis by the NRTIs tested were zalcitabine (ddC) > didanosine (ddI) > stavudine > zidovudine (ZDV) > lamivudine = abacavir = tenofovir, with comparable relative effects in the three cell types. Unlike ddC and ddI, tenofovir did not affect cellular expression of COX II and COX IV, two components of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase complex. Lactate production was elevated by less than 20% in HepG2 cells or SkMCs following treatment with 300 microM tenofovir. In contrast, lactate synthesis increased by >200% in the presence of 300 microM ZDV. Thus, treatment of various human cell types with tenofovir at concentrations that greatly exceed those required for it both to have in vitro anti-HIV type 1 activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (50% effective concentration, 0.2 microM) and to achieve therapeutically relevant levels in plasma (maximum concentrations in plasma, 0.8 to 1.3 microM) is not associated with mitochondrial toxicity.

Lipopolysaccharide protects primary B lymphocytes from apoptosis by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and bax translocation to mitochondria.

Mature B lymphocytes undergo apoptosis when they are cultured in the absence of survival factors. Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prevents this spontaneous apoptosis. This study aimed to better define the signaling pathway(s) involved in the antiapoptotic activity of this endotoxin. We report here that, in addition to its effects on spontaneous apoptosis, LPS protects B cells from apoptosis induced by the broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. LPS increased cell viability and concomitantly maintained the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (DeltaPsim) and high glutathione levels. Moreover, LPS inhibited cytosolic cytochrome c release and decreased caspase-9 activation. Unlike staurosporine, LPS induced the retention of Bax, a proapoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family, in the cytosol by preventing its translocation to mitochondria. These results suggest that Bax relocalization from the cytosol to the mitochondria is an important step of mature B-cell apoptosis and that the antiapoptotic activity of LPS occurs upstream of mitochondrial events.

Down-regulation of mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase in human colon cancer cells with induced 5-fluorouracil resistance.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. However, it is common for such patients to develop resistance to 5-FU, and this drug resistance becomes a critical problem for chemotherapy. The mechanisms underlying this resistance are largely unknown. To screen for proteins possibly responsible for 5-FU resistance, cells resistant to 5-FU were derived from human colon cancer cell lines and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-based comparative proteomics was done. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis data showed there was lower expression of the alpha subunit of mitochondrial F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase (ATP synthase) in 5-FU-resistant cells compared with parent cells. Western blotting showed that expression of other ATP synthase complex subunits was also lower in 5-FU-resistant cell lines and that these resistant cells also showed decreased ATP synthase activity and reduced intracellular ATP content. The ATP synthase inhibitor, oligomycin A, strongly antagonized 5-FU-induced suppression of cell proliferation. When 5-FU sensitivity was compared with ATP synthase activity in six different human colon cancer cell lines, a positive correlation has been found. Furthermore, suppressed ATP synthase d-subunit expression by siRNA transfection increased cell viability in the presence of 5-FU. Bioenergetic dysfunction of mitochondria has been reported as a hallmark of many types of cancers (i.e., down-regulation of ATP synthase beta-subunit expression in liver, kidney, colon, squamous oesophageal, and lung carcinomas, as well as in breast and gastric adenocarcinomas). Our findings show that ATP synthase down-regulation may not only be a bioenergetic signature of colorectal carcinomas but may also lead to cellular events responsible for 5-FU resistance.

Baicalein, a novel apoptotic agent for hepatoma cell lines: a potential medicine for hepatoma.

This study has demonstrated that baicalein has anticancer effectiveness against human hepatoma cells. The dose response of baicalein in Hep G2 and Hep J2 cells indicates that baicalein decreased viability >90%. In comparison, baicalein had only minimal effects on the viability of control Chang liver cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that baicalein inhibited the cell cycle of Hep G2 cells in the S phase. In addition, baicalein treatment resulted in a decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential and damaged the integrity of the cell membrane. The TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay results indicated that baicalein elicited a significant increase of DNA fragmentation in Hep G2 cells after incubation for 48 hours. These results indicate that baicalein is an effective antihepatoma agent with minimal influence on noncancer cells. The effects of baicalein on Hep G2 cells include inhibition of the S phase of the cell cycle, dysfunction of mitochondria, and initiation of apoptosis.

[Free radicals mediate cardiac toxicity induced by adriamycin].

Anthracycline antibiotics, including adriamycin (ADM), are widely used to treat various human cancers, but their clinical use has been limited because of their cardiotoxicity. ADM is especially toxic to heart tissue. The mechanisms responsible for the cardiotoxic effect of ADM have been very/extremely controversial. This review focuses on the participation of free radicals generated by ADM in the cardiotoxic effect. ADM is reduced to a semiquinone radical species by microsomal NADPH-P450 reductase and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase. In the presence of oxygen, the reductive semiquinone radical species produces superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Generally, lipid peroxidation proceeds by mediating the redox of iron. ADM extracts iron from ferritin to form ADM-Fe3+, which causes lipid peroxidation of membranes. These events may lead to disturbance of the membrane structure and dysfunction of mitochondria. However, superoxide dismutase and hydroxyl radical scavengers have little effect on lipid peroxidation induced by ADM-Fe3+. Alternatively, ADM is oxidatively activated by peroxidases to convert to an oxidative semiquinone radical, which participates in inactivation of mitochondrial enzymes or including succinate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. Here, we discuss the activation of ADM and the role of reductive and oxidative ADM semiquinone radicals in the cardiotoxic effect of this antibiotic.

Effects of Intravenously Administered Plasma from Exercise-Trained Donors on Mitochondrial Respiration in a Rat Model of Alzheimer's Disease.

PURPOSE: Dysfunction of mitochondria is observed early in Alzheimer's disease (AD), possibly driving the pathogenesis of the disease. This study aims to assess whether plasma from exercise-trained donors can enhance mitochondrial function in a transgenic AD model and to gain insight into the proteomic profile of the donor plasma. METHODS: Male McGill-R-Thy1-APP rats (n = 3 per treatment group) were treated at either an early preplaque stage (2.2 months) or a later stage (5.2 months) with plasma from exercise-trained donors (ExPlas), sedentary donors (SedPlas), or saline. The rats received 14 transfusions over 6 wk. Mitochondrial respiration was assessed in cornu ammonis (CA), dentate gyrus (DG), gastrocnemius, and left ventricle using high-resolution respirometry. Proteomic analyses were performed in donor blood using mass spectrometry. RESULTS: In early-stage AD rats, ExPlas improved hippocampal mitochondrial respiration. Compared with saline, CA oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity for complex I increased by +30.8 pmol O2·s-1·mg-1 (P < 0.001) and CI+II by +37.8 pmol O2·s-1·mg-1 (P < 0.001). Compared with SedPlas, CA OXPHOS for CI increased by +16.9 pmol O2·s-1·mg-1 (P = 0.01) and CI+II by +23.8 pmol O2·s-1·mg-1 (P = 0.007). In DG, similar improvements were only seen compared with saline. In CA, but not DG, of later-stage rats, ExPlas produced smaller but significant increases in CI and CI+II OXPHOS compared with saline, but no significant differences compared with SedPlas. No changes were observed in muscle or heart. Proteomics revealed enrichment of complement and platelet-related pathways in ExPlas. CONCLUSIONS: This proof-of-concept study shows that exercise-trained donor plasma enhances hippocampal mitochondrial respiration in early-stage AD rats and, to a lesser extent, in later-stage AD rats. The proteomic profile of the exercise-trained donor plasma indicates a role of altered complement and platelet functions.

[Glial activation and brain aging].

While basal forebrain cholinergic neurons degenerate in aging and Alzheimer's disease, the cholinergic groups of the upper brainstem are preserved. Since the brainstem reticular-like cholinergic neurons differ from the rostral cholinergic phenotype by their high expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA, we hypothesized that they contain biochemical mechanisms to protect themselves against self-induced damage by nitric oxide (NO). Our initial question was a source of the NO during the aging process. We found a significant correlation between cognitive function and markers for glial activation and oxidative stress using aged rats. This result indicates that oxidative stress accompanied by glial activation may be occurred in the cognitively impaired animals. We also found mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) was significantly damaged in these animals, while accumulation of oxidative damage was not evident in other molecules. Therefore, oxidative damage to the mDNA by glial activation may occur in the cells having poor protection against oxidative stress during aging. Then the dysfunction of mitochondria, induced by the mDNA damage, may induce cell death as well as produce another oxidative stress to cause neuronal damage. The damaged neurons induce further glial activation and such self-accelerated immune-like response results in progressive neurodegeneration.

Brain mitochondrial dysfunction in aging: conditions that improve survival, neurological performance and mitochondrial function.

Mice with (a) high spontaneous neurological activity, or subjected to (b) moderate exercise or (c) dietary supplemented with high doses of vitamin E from 28 weeks of age to senescence (76 wk of age), showed an increased survival and a retardation in the development of the neurological deficits associated to aging. During aging there was an increase in dysfunctional brain mitochondria, characterized by an increased content of oxidation products and by a diminished functional activity. The mitochondrial oxidative damage observed in adult (52 wk) and senescent mice (76 wk) was partially ameliorated in the groups of animals subject to the mentioned experimental conditions, and this decrease in mitochondrial oxidative damage was related to the improvement in neurological performance. In brain mitochondria, the activities of enzymes that are critical for mitochondrial function (mtNOS, NADH-dehydrogenase, and cytochrome oxidase) decreased progressively during aging and constituted aging markers. Usual clinical recommendations for aged humans, such as increased neurological activity, moderate exercise, and vitamin E supplementation, proved to be effective in increasing mice survival and neurological performances, along with a better mitochondrial function and a lower content of oxidation products.

Comparison of cytotoxicity induced by hypolipidemic drugs via reactive oxygen species in human and rodent liver cells.

Hypolipidemic drugs (HP drugs) are xenobiotics belonging to the peroxisome proliferator family which are used as pharmaceuticals in the treatment of human hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. They cause hepatocarcinogenesis in rodents by increasing cell proliferation. One hypothesis is that this hepatocarcinogenic effect is caused by induced oxidative stress resulting from the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and from a decreasing antioxidant defense. In addition, ROS play a role in hepatocellular proliferation by activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1, leading to an increase in mitogenic cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha. No liver cancer incidence has been noted in individuals treated with HP drugs for brief periods of time. However, the observation that old rats and mice are more susceptible than young individuals to the hepatocarcinogenic effect caused by long term exposure to HP drugs raises the question of a potential health risk for the human population. In vitro, HP drugs cause an apoptogenic effect in human hepatocytes. This effect is related to a moderate antioxidant response, dysfunction of mitochondria caused by an overproduction of ROS and release of apoptogenic factors. Finally, the apoptogenic effect of HP drugs is observed in human hepatomas, suggesting a clinical interest of these agents in antitumoral activity.
