Exposure of isolated mouse hepatocytes to a toxic concentration of acetaminophen (5 mM) resulted in damage to the mitochondrial respiratory apparatus. The nature of this damage was investigated by measuring respiration stimulated by site-specific substrates in digitonin-permeabilized hepatocytes after acetaminophen exposure. Respiration stimulated by succinate at energy-coupling site 2 was most sensitive to inhibition and was decreased by 47% after 1 h. Respiration supported by NADH-linked substrates (site 1) was also decreased but to a lesser extent, while there was no decrease in the rate of ascorbate + N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD)-supported respiration (site 3). The loss of mitochondrial respiratory function was accompanied by a decrease in ATP levels and ATP/ADP ratios in the cytosolic compartment and was preceded by a loss of reduced glutathione in both the cytosol and mitochondria. All these effects occurred well before the loss of cell membrane integrity. The putative toxic metabolite of acetaminophen, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinonimine (NAPQI), produced a similar pattern of respiratory dysfunction in isolated hepatic mitochondria. Respiration stimulated by succinate- and NADH-linked substrates was very sensitive to 50 microM NAPQI, while ascorbate + TMPD-supported respiration was unaffected. The interaction between NAPQI and the respiratory chain was further investigated using submitochondrial particles. Succinate dehydrogenase (associated with respiratory complex II) was found to be very sensitive to NAPQI, while NADH dehydrogenase (respiratory complex I) was inhibited to a lesser extent. Our results indicate that a loss of the ability to utilize succinate- and NADH-linked substrates due to attack of the respiratory chain by NAPQI causes a disruption of energy homeostasis in acetaminophen hepatotoxicity.

The plasma membrane fraction of chicken osteoclasts was purified utilizing 20% continuous Percoll gradients. Biochemical marker enzyme analysis (ouabain-sensitive Na+,K(+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase) indicated that plasma membrane enrichment was 11.87-fold and 7.25-fold, respectively, and contamination with mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes was low as determined by succinic dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, and N-acetylglucosaminidase activities, respectively. SDS latency of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities of the isolated plasma membranes revealed that 43-50% of vesicles were sealed, with 10-16% in the inside-out orientation, depending on the membrane fraction used. Electron microscopy confirmed the vesicular nature of the plasma membrane fraction. The plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase had a high-affinity (KCa = 0.22 microM; Vmax = 0.16 mumol/mg per min) and a low-affinity (KCa = 148 microM; Vmax = 0.37 mumol/mg per min) component. Calmodulin (0.12 microM) had no effect on Ca2(+)-ATPase activity. However, trifluoperazine (0.1 mM), a calmodulin antagonist, strongly inhibited especially the high-affinity component of the enzyme. Vanadate and lanthanum also caused inhibition. In the presence of CDTA, a potent Ca2+ and Mg2+ chelating agent, high-affinity Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was abolished, indicating that trace Mg2+ was essential for activity. The Ca2(+)-ATPase substrate curve using ATP showed a high-affinity (Km = 12.3 microM; Vmax = 0.022 mumol/mg per min) and a low-affinity (Km = 43.8 microM; Vmax = 0.278 mumol/mg per min) component. These results demonstrate that osteoclasts have a plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase with characteristics similar to the enzyme responsible for active calcium extrusion in other cells.

The histochemical profile of intrafusal fibres of muscle spindles and muscle spindle capsule were analysed in normal sural muscles of a rat. Weak activity of oxidative enzymes (NADH diaphorase, succinic dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase) and creatine phosphokinase were found in bag1 and bag2 fibres, but the oxidative enzyme activity was moderate in chain fibres. High phosphorylase activity was demonstrated in bag fibres as well as in chain fibres. No differences could be detected in adenosine desaminase activity between these various intrafusal fibres. In the outer capsule of muscle spindles, high amount of type III collagen and elastin, but only small amount of type I collagen and fibronectin could be observed.

We report the morphological, biochemical, immunological, and genetic findings in a patient with the clinical characteristics of Leigh's disease due to multisystemic cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) deficiency. Muscle biopsy at 2 years and 5 months of age showed markedly decreased CCO and cytochrome a + a3, moderately decreased NADH-cytochrome c reductase to 46.3%, and generalized loss of immunologically detectable CCO subunits, but other respiratory chain enzyme proteins were normal. All the tissues examined at autopsy showed decreased activity of all respiratory chain enzymes except complex II. The decrease in cytochromes b and a + a3 were in harmony with decreased enzyme activities in complex III and IV (CCO), respectively. All immunologically detectable subunits of CCO in immunoprecipitation were uniformly decreased in the cardiac and skeletal muscles, but subunits 1 and 4 were selectively decreased in other organs except liver. No large deletion could be detected in the cardiac muscle mtDNA after digestion with restriction enzymes. These results suggest that the respiratory chain enzymes are variable in their activity and the amount of enzyme proteins decreases as the disease progresses.

The immunohistochemical reaction of monoclonal as well as polyclonal antibodies against cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunits with serial sections of normal human skeletal muscle was investigated. The stronger reactivity of polyclonal antibodies to COX subunits II-III and VIIbc with type I as compared to type II fibres, correlated well with the higher histochemical reactivity of NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase in type I fibres. In contrast an almost exclusive reaction of a monoclonal antibody against subunit IV with type I fibre and a preponderant reaction of a polyclonal antibody against subunits Vab with type II fibres was obtained. Antibodies against subunits I, Vb and VIc did not reveal a fibre-type-specific reactivity. The data indicate in human muscle the occurrence of fibre type-specific isozymes of cytochrome c oxidase differing in subunits IV and Va or Vb.

Bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) were exposed to continuous fluxes of hydroxyl radical (.OH) alone, superoxide anion radical (O2-) alone, or mixtures of .OH and O2-, by gamma radiolysis in the presence of 100% N2O (.OH exposure), 100% O2 + formate (O2- exposure), or 100% O2 alone (.OH + O2- exposure). Hydrogen peroxide effects were studied by addition of pure H2O2. NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, succinate oxidase, and ATPase activities (Vmax) were rapidly inactivated by .OH (10% inactivation at 15-40 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein, 50-90% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein) and by .OH + O2- (10% inactivation at 20-80 nmol of .OH + O2-/mg of SMP protein, 45-75% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH + O2-/mg of SMP protein). Importantly, O2- was a highly efficient inactivator of NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and ATPase (10% inactivation at 20-50 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein, 40% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein), a mildly efficient inactivator of succinate dehydrogenase (10% inactivation at 150 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein, 30% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein), and a poor inactivator of succinate oxidase (less than 10% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein). H2O2 partially inactivated NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and cytochrome oxidase, but even 10% loss of these activities required at least 500-600 nmol of H2O2/mg of SMP protein. Cytochrome oxidase activity (oxygen consumption supported by ascorbate + N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine) was remarkably resistant to oxidative inactivation, with less than 20% loss of activity evident even at .OH, O2-, OH + O2-, or H2O2 concentrations of 600 nmol/mg of SMP protein. Cytochrome c oxidase activity, however (oxidation of, added, ferrocytochrome c), exhibited more than a 40% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein. The .OH-dependent inactivations reported above were largely inhibitable by the .OH scavenger mannitol. In contrast, the O2(-)-dependent inactivations were inhibited by active superoxide dismutase, but not by denatured superoxide dismutase or catalase. Membrane lipid peroxidation was evident with .OH exposure but could be prevented by various lipid-soluble antioxidants which did not protect enzymatic activities at all.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Brain mitochondrial enzyme activities were examined in 15-day-old suckling mice which were daily injected with D-penicillamine (DP), a chelating agent of copper. Newborn mice treated with DP (1 g/kg/day) showed retarded weight gain, hyperelasticity of skin, and a bizarre forelimb posture with subcutaneous edema on experimental day (ED) 7. Paraparesis or dragging of the hindlimbs was observed by ED 15. Brain copper contents of DP-treated mice decreased to 34% of the controls of ED 15. Cytochrome c oxidase activity (complex IV) in the brain showed 51% decrease of the controls, on the contrary, rotenone-sensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase (complex I + III) and succinate cytochrome c reductase (complex II + III) were normal. Histochemistry of cytochrome c oxidase in the cerebellum of DP-treated mice disclosed diffuse reduction of staining, especially in Purkinje cells. These data show that DP-induced copper deficiency in the brain subsequently disturbs mitochondrial electron transport system, selectively cytochrome c oxidase activity. This seems to be a useful animal model not only for Menkes' kinky hair disease but also for mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.

Biogenic amines (phenylethylamine, tyramine, dopamine, tryptamine, serotonin and spermine) decreased activities of the rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase, the succinate cytochrome c reductase and the succinate dehydrogenase in incubation mixtures containing mitochondrial membranes and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors chlorgyline and deprenyl. Spermine exhibited its influences at lower concentrations as compared with other monoamines. The effect of monoamines depended on presence of hydroxyl group (or groups) in the aromatic ring which led to elevation of the inhibitory effects. Lysis of membranes by Triton X-100 prevented the inhibitory action of all the compounds studied on succinate dehydrogenase. Alterations in content of some biogenic amines under pathological conditions and especially in drug inhibition of the monoamine oxidases appear to influence the energy functions of mitochondria, possibly via changes in the surface charge of the membranes.

The triarylmethane derivative Victoria Blue-BO (VB-BO) and the chalcogenapyrylium (CP) dyes have potential for use in photochemotherapy, because they are taken up by the mitochondria of malignant cells and cause cell death. To clarify the mechanism of cell killing we examined the phototoxic effects of VB-BO and a series of three CP dyes on bioenergetic function in isolated rat liver mitochondria. Without photoirradiation, and irrespective of the respiratory substrate used, each of the compounds tested induced some uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Visible irradiation of VB-BO produced an inhibition of mitochondrial respiration when glutamate plus malate, but not succinate, was used as the respiratory substrate. With photoirradiation VB-BO was also shown to inhibit rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity, but it had no effect on succinate-cytochrome c reductase activity. These data indicate that photoactivation of VB-BO produces selective inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory complex I. Photoirradiation of the CP dyes inhibited both complex I and complex II initiated respiratory activity. With photoirradiation, the CP dyes also inhibited both NADH- and succinate-cytochrome c reductase activities, as well as other membrane-bound enzymes, cytochrome c oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase, but not the mitochondrial matrix enzyme, citrate synthetase, or the cytosolic enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase. alpha-Tocopherol protected bioenergetic activities against CP dye photodamage. These results suggest that mitochondrial photosensitization by CP compounds is mediated by the production of membrane-damaging singlet oxygen which causes nonspecific damage to membranes and membrane-bound enzymes.

The effects of pentagalloylglucose (1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose) on the aerobic electron transport system of Escherichia coli were studied. The activity of nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) reductase was inhibited by pentagalloylglucose, but the activities of succinate dehydrogenase, D-lactate dehydrogenase, and ubiquinol-1 (Q1H2) oxidase were not susceptible to the inhibitor. Because the presence of two kinds of NADH dehydrogenase in respiratory chain of Escherichia coli has been reported, we examined the effect of galloylglucose independently on both NADH dehydrogenases. Pentagalloylglucose is potent and specific inhibitor of both NADH dehydrogenases. One of the NADH dehydrogenases (NADH dh II) is more sensitive to the inhibitor than the other (NADH dh I).
