Effect of anoxic radiosensitizers on cellular and mitochondrial oxygen consumption and respiration control ratio.

Misonidazole increased oxygen consumption of Ehrlich ascites cells and reversed the blockage of oxidative phosphorylation induced by amytal and KCN. It alos increased oxygen consumption of mitochondria in the presence of alpha-ketoglutarate substrate, but decreased the respiratory control ratio. Cellular oxygen consumption decreased, but mitochondrial consumption was increased by metronidazole, and the respiratory control ratio was not affected by this substance. It was concluded that misonidazole influences respiration in a similar way to uncouplers, and the interaction site for both substances is at the NADH level. These respiratory effects can be of importance in altering radiation response in multicellular tissues.

The relationship of regional coronary blood flow to mitochondrial function during reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium.

The relationship of changes in regional coronary flow to the nature and degree of biochemical disturbances during occlusion of branches of the left anterior descending coronary artery and following reestablishment of flow was investigated in two groups of dogs: group I, moderate ischemia before reflow, and group II, severe ischemia prior to reflow. Regional coronary blood flow was determined before ligation, after 60 min of ischemia and after 15 min of reflow using labelled microspheres. Hearts made ischemic for 60 min but not reperfused served as controls. Groups I and II were distinguished by the following features. Group II showed a marked exacerbation of biochemical damage on reperfusion of the ischemic region (reduced levels of ATP, impairment of mitochondrial oxygen consumption and mitochondrial calcium binding). This was accompanied by significant subendocaridial hyperemia. Reperfusion in group I, on the otherhand, partially reversed these changes (increased level of ATP in the ischemic-reperfused region, improved mitochondrial oxygen consumption and calcium binding). Mitochondrial calcium uptake and oxidative phosphorylation (ADP/O ratio) were not affected in any group. These data illustrate that the degree of biochemical damage following reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium is determined by the degree of ischemia, and suggest that interference with ATP production by the mitochondria is not responsible for the damage.

Effect of dietary protein restriction or food restriction on oxygen consumption and mitochondrial distribution in cardiac and red and white skeletal muscle of rats.

The effects of food restriction and dietary protein restriction on the oxygen consumption of three types of muscle in the rat were compared. Control rats were fed a diet containing 27% casein. Two groups of protein-restricted rats were fed isoenergy diets containing 15% or 8% casein. Two groups of food-restricted rats were fed either the 27% or 15% casein diets in amounts equivalent to 35% of the intake of energy. Oxygen consumption was measured in papillary muscle and in fibers from the red (high oxidative) and white (low oxidative) portions of the quadriceps with pyruvate and malate as substrates. Control values (micronlO2/g dry wt/min) were 35.2 + 1.5 (papillary), 20.7+/-1.9 (red), and 7.8+/-0.7 (white). Restriction of dietary protein content failed to alter the oxygen consumption of any of the muscle types. In contrast, involuntary food restriction,combined with a reduction in protein content, caused a reduction in the oxygen consumption of papilary and white skeletal muscle, but the metabolism of red skeletal muscle was not affected. No differences were found in the appearance and distribution of mitochondria in cardiac or red skeletal muscle after examination by electron microscopy, but a depletion of subsarcolemmal mitochondria was evident in white muscle from the food-restricted rats.

Effect of diltiazem, a calcium antagonist, on myocardial ischemia.

In line with studies on the metabolism of the ischemic myocardium, the effectiveness of diltiazem hydrochloride, a potent calcium antagonist, in reducing the effects of ischemia was evaluated. Nonischemic and ischemic tissue samples were examined in two groups of dogs--Group I, dogs receiving no drug and killed after 60 minutes of regional ischemia, and Group II, dogs given diltiazem after 10 minutes of ischemia and killed 50 minutes later. Administration of diltiazem proved beneficial in several ways: The decrease in adenosine-5'-triphosphate in the ischemic region was halved, inhibition of anaerobic glycolysis was reduced, tissue levels of lactic acid and free fatty acids were lowered and the contractility of glycerinated heart muscle fibers was improved. However, administration of the drug did not influence mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption and respiratory control were reduced by equal amounts in both groups, as was mitochondrial calcium ion binding. These observations demonstrate that diltiazem is capable of minimizing the consequences of acute ischemic, although the beneficial effects do not extend to all aspects of myocardial metabolism.

Mitochondrial function and excitation-contraction coupling in the development of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

The effect of prolonged adminstration of ehtanol on cardiac metabolism, contractility, and ultrastructure was investigated. Dogs received 400 ml of a 25 percent solution of ethanol during a period of 3-6 months. Repeated heart muscle biopsied revealed a significant diminution in the activity of intramitochondrial NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase in the animals exposed to alcohol. Oxidative, phosphorylation of mitochondria was measured polarographically using a vibrating oxygen electrode; respiratory control index and mitochondrial oxygen consumption were markedly reduced (p less than 0.001). Myocardial ATP content was significantly diminished (p less than 0.025). Electron microscopic changes observed consisted of mitochondrial degeneration, dehiscence of intercalated discs, and dilatation of intercellular spaces. The average force velocity curve was shifted downward and to the left in afterloaded contractions with a significant depression of Vmax (p less than 0.01). Both calcium binding and calcium uptake of mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum were inhibited. These results suggest that a disorder in the generation of energy and a defect in calcium binding by subcellular membranes may be the determinant events leading to impaired myocardial function in the course of chronic alcoholism.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle cells induced by snoring vibrations.

Snoring-related vibrations have been proposed as a pathogenic factor contributing to upper airway muscle dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). To investigate whether exposure to snoring vibration is linked to muscle weakness, we used an in vitro vibration model to examine its effects on mitochondrial homeostasis in L6 muscle cells at 8, 12, 24, and 48 h. The findings were then compared with mitochondrial alterations in the upper airway muscles from snorers and patients with OSA. Proteomic analysis of L6 myoblasts revealed extensive remodeling of the mitochondrial proteome at 8 h, affecting pathways involved in oxidative phosphorylation, protein import, ribosome biogenesis, and RNA processing. Respiratory chain remodeling was subunit-specific, with increased abundance of selected components of Complexes I, IV, and V, including NDUFS4, COX5A, and ATP5PD. However, reductions in spliceosome-associated factors, such as SRSF2 and DDX46, along with alterations in mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, indicated impaired RNA processing and protein synthesis. Furthermore, both proteomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed activation of a mechanosensing-mechanotransduction axis, with early upregulation of integrin subunits and mechanosensitive ion channels, followed by transient activation of focal adhesion signaling. Despite transcriptional upregulation of selected Complex IV subunits Cox5a and Cox6a2, this response was accompanied by accumulation of unspliced pre-mRNA, indicating impaired RNA processing efficiency and a decoupling between transcript and protein levels. Real-time Seahorse assay revealed a collapse of mitochondrial respiration and glycolytic reserve at 8 h. Although mitochondrial oxygen consumption recovered after 48 h, the ability to dynamically upregulate glycolysis remained impaired. In patients, muscle capillarization was impaired, COX activity was reduced, and mitochondrial organization was disrupted. Moreover, transcription of Complex IV subunits COX5A and COX6A2 was, as in vibrated L6 cells, upregulated, suggesting a mismatch between transcript levels and protein expression. We conclude that snoring-induced vibrations are an unrecognized stressor that disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis in muscle by impairing RNA processing, protein synthesis, and mechanotransduction-driven mitochondrial remodeling, leading to transcript-protein uncoupling and likely muscle dysfunction.

Oxygen consumption of the isolated carotid body tissue (cat).

The oxygen consumption of the isolated carotid body tissue measured in microchambers (volumes 12 and 20 mul) was 0.0051 mul O2/mg wet weight-min for an average of 54 measurements at 22 +/- 1 degree C, if the calculation was based on the oxygen pressure decrease of the surrounding medium measured polarographically in the range from 120 to 50 torr. It is bound to the presence of exogenous substrate and almost completely inhibited by antimycin but not significantly altered by addition of EGTA (4-16 mM) or Ca2+ (2 mM). Measurements performed at higher oxygen pressures (300 to 100 torr) in the medium show that the oxygen consumption of isolated carotid body tissue is independent of oxygen pressure at these high oxygen pressures. The findings obtained under the above conditions argue in favor of a mitochondrial oxygen consumption. The results are discussed with regard to data obtained with needle electrodes in the perfused organ.

Acute effects of acetaldehyde and ethanol on rat heart mitochondria.

The effects of acute exposure of rat heart mitochondria to ethanol (87, 65, and 45 mM) and acetaldehyde (3, 1, and 0.3 mM) were studied using both glutamate and pyruvate/malate substrates. Mitochondria assayed with pyruvate/malate substrate showed no apparent effects of acute exposure to or 30 min preincubation with ethanol at the three concentrations tested. With glutamate substrate, acute ethanol at 87 and 65 mM produced significant decreases in respiratory control ratio (RCR). With 65 and 45 mM acute ethanol, mitochondrial oxygen consumption (QO2) was significantly decreased. Acute acetaldehyde significantly decreased RCR and QO2 of mitochondria tested with both substrates. The depressive effect was more pronounced with pyruvate/malate substrate than with glutamate substrate. With pyruvate/malate substrate, the ADP/O ratio was also decreased with 3 and 1 mM acetaldehyde. Preincubation with acetaldehyde had no effect on mitochondrial function except for significantly decreased RCR after preincubation with 3 mM acetaldehyde followed by assay with glutamate substrate. The data indicate a depressant effect of acetaldehyde and ethanol on cardiac mitochondria that may contribute to abnormal cardiac biochemistry and function characteristic of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Identification of Potential Therapeutic Agents for Type I Interferonopathy Using iPSC-Based Disease Modeling.

PURPOSE: Type I interferonopathy encompasses disorders marked by systemic inflammation and neurological involvement, arising from genetic mutations that result in the upregulation of type I IFN signaling through various mechanisms. Currently, therapeutic options are limited, and no standard therapy exists. This study aims to develop a strategy for identifying new therapeutic targets for type I interferonopathy using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). METHODS: The IFIH1 R779H variant was introduced into iPSCs through genome editing. RNA sequencing of iPSC-derived dendritic cells (DCs) was performed, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. IFN-α secretion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were analyzed in iPSC-derived DCs. An in silico prediction of compounds binding to the OAS-like domain was conducted. Candidate compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit IFN secretion from IFIH1 R779H-mutated iPSC-derived DCs. RESULTS: Transcriptome analysis indicated upregulation of the IFN-related and metabolic pathways. IFIH1 R779H-mutated iPSC-derived DCs exhibited increased OCR and ROS generation, and blocking mitochondrial metabolism significantly reduced excessive IFN-α secretion. Among the DEGs, PML was upregulated, and targeting this gene with arsenic trioxide (ATO), a PML antagonist, suppressed IFN-α secretion from IFIH1 R779H-mutated iPSC-derived DCs. Additionally, bisantrene, phthalylsulfathiazole and ganaplacide were predicted to bind to the RNA binding groove of OAS-like domain of human OASL in silico, effectively inhibiting IFN-α secretion from IFIH1 R779H-mutated DCs. CONCLUSION: Our iPSC-based disease modeling and drug investigation approach provides a robust platform for validating the efficacy and toxicity of candidate therapeutic agents for rare and intractable human diseases such as type I interferonopathy.

The effect of paraquat on the respiration of lung cell fractions.

The in vitro effects of paraquat on the aerobic metabolism of lung and liver homogenates, as well as on the oxygen consumption of isolated rat and rabbit lung mitochondria, were investigated. It was found that the endogenous oxygen uptake of a 40% lung homogenate was similar to that of a 10% liver homogenate, and that succinate (20 mM) was well oxidized by both homogenates. About 14% of the basal respiration rate was due to cyanide-insensitive oxidative systems in lung and liver homogenates. Paraquat (1 mM and higher concentrations) induced an acute and highly significant increase in the cyanide-insensitive oxygen utilization. We were able to recover about 5% of the protein in the supernatant (1,000 g) of the original homogenate as mitochondrial protein. Only results obtained from mitochondrial preparations with a respiratory control ratio between 2,7 and 3,3 were used in the final analyses, and the normal state 3 respiration values of rabbit and rat lung mitochondria were 45,2 +/- 5,3 and 38,7 +/- 2,9 nmol oxygen per mg protein per minute respectively. Paraquat in concentrations up to 0.5 mM had no significant effect, but higher concentrations up to 1 mM induced a highly significant inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption. When slices were pre-incubated with 1 mM and with 0,01 mM paraquat in the incubation medium, the oxygen consumption of the mitochondria isolated after 2 hours and 4 hours respectively, was significantly reduced.

Verapamil corrects abnormal metabolism of pancreatic islets and insulin secretion in phosphate depletion.

Phosphate depletion (PD) causes impaired insulin secretion and metabolic derangements in pancreatic islets. We studied PD, pair-weighed (PW), and PD and PW rats treated with verapamil (PD-V and PW-V) to examine the mechanisms of these derangements. Cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) in PD islets was higher than that in PW, PD-V, and PW-V islets, and the values in the latter three groups were not different. Both basal and stimulated ATP in PD islets were lower than those in PW, PW-V, or PD-V islets. The maximum velocity (Vmax) of Ca(2+)-ATPase and the Km and Vmax of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were reduced in PD islets. In both PD-V and PW-V, the Vmax of Ca(2+)-ATPase was higher than that in PD, but lower than that in PW. Both initial and second phases of insulin secretion by PD islets were lower than those by PW and PW-V islets. In PD-V rats, insulin secretion was greater than that in PD rats, but only the second phase was significantly higher. The data are consistent with either of the following possibilities: 1) PD causes a change in the permeability of islets, allowing increased entry of Ca2+ into them and a fall in ATP of islets; the latter would impair the activity of both ATPases, leading to reduced Ca2+ extrusion from islets and, hence, an elevation in their [Ca2+]i; or 2) the primary defect in PD is a reduction in the activities of ATPases of islets due to the fall in ATP secondary to phosphorus deficiency. The decreased Ca2+ extrusion that ensues, even in the face of normal Ca2+ entry, will result in high [Ca2+]i. In either of these scenarios the rise in [Ca2+]i would inhibit mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production, further lowering the ATP content of the islets. The higher [Ca2+]i and low ATP of PD underlie the impaired insulin secretion. Verapamil, by blocking normal or augmented Ca2+ entry into the islets, mitigates or prevents the derangements in islet function and metabolism.

Characteristics of energy metabolism in specialized muscle of bovine heart.

Characterization of the energy metabolism pattern of the specialized heart muscle of bovine heart was studied in comparison with that of the ordinary heart muscle. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption of the specialized heart muscle was significantly lower than that of the ordinary heart muscle with succinate as the substrate. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in oxygen consumption between both heart muscles with glutamate + malate as the substrates. The activity levels of succinate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase were much lower than those of the ordinary heart muscle. The isozyme pattern of LDH of the specialized heart muscle consisted of one major component of LDH-1 (H4) and that of the ordinary heart muscle consisted of two major components of LDH-1 (H4) and LDH-2 (H3M). The ratio of NADH to NAD of the specialized heart muscle was remarkably lower than that of the ordinary heart muscle. These results indicate that the specialized heart muscle depends not only upon anaerobic metabolism but also upon aerobic metabolism for its energy supply.

Myocardial respiration and edema following hypothermic cardioplegia and anoxic arrest.

The effects of 1 and 2 hours of hypothermic anoxic arrest and cardioplegia induced by Mg-lidocaine, K-Mg, or K on left ventricular mitochondrial respiratory function, blood flow, and edema were studied in 41 mongrel dogs. Mitochondrial respiration was assessed by the indices of oxidative phosphorylation. Myocardial temperature recorded in ventricular septum was kept at 20 degrees C during ischemic arrest and 10 minutes of reperfusion. Cardioplegic solutions did not influence noncoronary blood flow during cross-clamping of the aorta. Mitochondrial respiratory function remained at control levels after 1 hour of ischemia induced by hypothermic anoxic arrest or by Mg-lidocaine or K-Mg hypothermic cardioplegia. Mitochondrial state 3 respiration after 2 hours of anoxic arrest was significantly higher in Mg-lidocaine cardioplegia than in anoxic arrest (p less than 0.05), but myocardial edema was equivalent in both groups. Mg in the cardioplegic solution suppressed mitochondrial nonphosphorylating oxygen consumption. These data suggest that mitochondrial function after 1 hour of ischemic arrest at 20 degrees C and 10 minutes of reperfusion is not significantly depressed, but at 2 hours of ischemic arrest, mitochondrial respiration is significantly impaired. However, hypothermic Mg-lidocaine cardioplegia appears to be more effective in sustaining myocardial respiration than does simple hypothermic anoxic arrest when the anoxic period is extended to 2 hours.

[Enzyme system and coenzymes involved in the energy metabolism of leukocytes. Function and metabolism of polymorphonuclear neutrophils].

Mitochondria may be isolated from various types of leukocyte (neutrophil polymorphs and lymphocytes from human blood, neutrophil polymorphs and macrophages from peritoneal exudates of the guinea pig) after destruction by heparin of the cell membrane. This procedure is very simple and less traumatic for these subcellular structures than the usual mechanical procedures. The enzyme activities of the respiratory chain and oxygen consumption may be measured in these mitochondrial preparations. The oxygen consumption is determined using oxyhemoglobin which serves both as oxygen donor, as in the respiratory system in vivo, and as indicator of the reaction at 435.8 nm. The integrity of the mitochondria may be demonstrated by determination of the "acceptor control index", the existence of ADP phosphorylation coupled with oxygen consumption (phosphorylating oxidation) was proved in all the cells studied even if the ADP/O ratio can only be calculated for certain of them (lymphocytes, macrophages). In these cases, the ratios obtained are close to theoretical values whatever the oxidation substrate used. The mitochondria of leukemic cells have a higher oxidation activity than the corresponding reference cells. Determination of leukocyte coenzymes by enzyme cycling (NAD, NADH, NADP, NADPH) showed the following facts: -- Generally, the NAD concentrations remain constant, those of NADH increase whilst those of NADP and NADPH fall during incubation of neutrophil polymorphs in Dulbecco's medium. -- The metabolic changes observed during S. albi heat-induced endocytosis are in favour of simultaneous stimulation of NADH oxidase and NADPH oxidase in human polymorphs, and of NADPH oxidase in the corresponding cells of peritoneal exudates in guinea pigs.

Dominant negative ATP5F1A variants disrupt oxidative phosphorylation causing neurological disorders.

ATP5F1A encodes the α-subunit of complex V of the respiratory chain, which is responsible for mitochondrial ATP synthesis. We describe 6 probands with heterozygous de novo missense ATP5F1A variants that presented with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and movement disorders. All variants were located at the contact points between the α- and β-subunits. Functional studies in C. elegans revealed that the variants were damaging via a dominant negative genetic mechanism. Biochemical and proteomics studies of proband-derived cells showed a marked reduction in complex V abundance and activity. Mitochondrial physiology studies revealed increased oxygen consumption, yet decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels indicative of uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation as a pathophysiologic mechanism. Our findings contrast with the previously reported ATP5F1A variant, p.Arg207His, indicating a different pathological mechanism. This study expands the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of ATP5F1A-associated conditions and highlights how functional studies can provide an understanding of the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of ATP5F1A variants of uncertain significance. With 12 heterozygous individuals now reported, ATP5F1A is the most frequent nuclear genome cause of complex V deficiency.

On the adaptation of cultured chick embryo cells to growth in the presence of chloramphenicol.

We have found that tryptose phosphate broth (TPB) prevents the inhibitory effect of chloramphenicol (CAM) on the cell proliferation of chick embryo fibroblasts. Study of growth parameters indicated that no lag or adaptation period appeared necessary for TPB-exposed chick cell populations to grow in the presence of CAM suggesting that a particular cell type was not selected. TPB did not prevent the inhibitory effect of CAM on the mitochondrial protein-synthesizing system. This was supported by cytochrome oxidase activity measurements, studies on the incorporation of 35S-metionine into mitochondrial proteins, electron microscopic observation of alterations in mitochondrial structure. Oxygen consumption was reduced by 95% and cyanide, 2-4-dinitrophenol, and salicylhydroxamic acid do not significantly affect the residual respiration. Analyses of reduced-minus-oxidized-cytochrome spectra of CAM-treated chick cells demonstrate the disappearance of the absorption bands of cytochromes aa3, b559, c1, and c. The presence of a type b cytochrome with maxima at 552 and 557 nm was observed. The results obtained indicate that long-term cultures of CAM-treated chick embryo cells cultivated in the presence of TPB grow with mitochondria devoid of a functional respiratory chain.
