The maximal rates (Vmax) of some mitochondrial enzyme activities related to energy transduction (citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxidase) and amino acid metabolism (glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate-pyruvate- and glutamate-oxaloacetate- transaminases) were evaluated in non-synaptic ("free") and intrasynaptic "light" and "heavy" mitochondria from hippocampus of Macaca fascicularis (Cynomolgus monkey). The different mitochondrial populations were isolated from the hippocampus of monkeys treated p.o. with dihydroergocryptine at a dose of 12 mg/kg/day before and during the induction of a Parkinson's-like syndrome by MPTP administration (i.v., 0.3 mg/kg/day for 5 days). The MPTP administration modified the activity of some enzymes related to the metabolism of glutamate and the activity of succinate dehydrogenase on selected types of mitochondria. Pharmacological treatment by dihydroergocryptine promoted return to the steady-state levels of most enzymes, demonstrating a protective effect on these biochemical parameters.

A technique is described for the isolation and purification of intact, respiratory-competent mitochondria from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The purified mitochondria are capable of oxidizing NADH and succinate as respiratory substrates, indicating the presence of succinate dehydrogenase and an NADH dehydrogenase located on the outer surface of the inner membrane. Mitochondria display good respiratory control with an ADP/O ratio of < 2. Respiratory activity is linearly dependent upon the redox poise of the quinone pool, suggesting the presence of an unbranched respiratory pathway to molecular oxygen. Immunogold labelling using antisera raised against mitochondrial HSP70 proteins (SSP1, SSC1 and PHSP1) from three different species, namely S. pombe, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the plant Pisum sativum respectively, has been used to investigate the presence and ultrastructure of the mitochondria isolated by this procedure. The immunocytochemistry was carried out using cells containing wild-type levels of SSP1 protein and cells over-expressing the protein. These results also demonstrate the capacity of mitochondria to import increased levels of protein in vivo. In vitro import experiments using COXIV-DHFR indicate that purified S. pombe mitochondria can efficiently import this precursor, and that protein translocation is dependent upon an oxidizable substrate and a membrane potential.

In the cattle filarial parasite Setaria digitata the mitochondria like particles have been shown to possess NADH dependent fumarate reduction coupled with site I electron transport associated phosphorylation. This reduction is catalysed by the fumarate reductase system. The Km for fumarate is 1.47 mM and that for NADH is 0.33 mM. This activity is sensitive to rotenone, antimycin A and o-Hydroxy diphenyl. One ATP is produced for each pair of electrons transferred to fumarate. The fumarate reductase system consisting of NADH-coenzyme Q reductase, cytochrome b like component(s) and succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase is thus very important and hence specific inhibitors of the system may prove useful in the effective control of filariasis.

The etiology of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is yet unknown; this study aimed at further differentiation of the disease by means of enzyme histochemistry. Endomyocardial biopsies from the left ventricle of 40 DCM patients and 5 control specimens had enzymes examined histochemically and semiquantitatively and analyzed according to staining intensities of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR), succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, lactate dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase (aPh). In DCM, the NADH-TR activity was elevated as compared to controls, indicating impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. However, a concrete relation of enzyme histochemical intensity to anamnestic, hemodynamic or histomorphometric data could not be determined, except for the fact that the intensity of the lysosomal enzyme aPh was elevated in DCM patients with a relatively high left ventricular ejection fraction. The results demonstrate an interindependence of structural, hemodynamic and historical parameters as well as enzyme concentrations in DCM. Thus, a pathological change in the enzyme concentrations tested here cannot be responsible for the functional myocardial impairment in DCM.

Low-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and spin traps were used to measure paramagnetic species generation in rat hearts and isolated mitochondria. The hearts were freeze-clamped at 77 K during control perfusion by the Langendorff procedure, after 20-30 min of normothermic ischemia or 10-30 s of reperfusion with oxygenated perfusate. All EPR spectra measured at 4.5-50 K exhibited signals of both mitochondrial free radical centers and FeS proteins. The analysis of spectral parameters measured at 243 K showed that free radicals in heart tissue were semiquinones of coenzyme Q10 and flavins. The appearance of a typical "doublet" signal at g = 1.99 in low-temperature spectra indicated that a part of ubisemiquinones formed a complex with a high potential FeS protein of succinate dehydrogenase. Ischemia decreased the free radical species in myocardium approximately 50%; the initiation of reflow of perfusate resulted in quick increase of the EPR signal. Mitochondria isolated from hearts during control perfusion and after 20-30 min of ischemia were able to produce superoxide radicals in both the NADH-coenzyme Q10 reductase and the bc1 segments of the respiratory chain. The rate of oxyradical generation was significantly higher in mitochondria isolated from ischemic heart.

A 5-month-old boy died of progressive heart failure that started at the age of 3 months. Autopsy revealed a mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and a mitochondrial myopathy of the limb muscle and diaphragm. Cytochemically random defects of cytochrome c oxidase were visualized by light and electron microscopy in the diaphragm and especially the heart muscle, the limb muscle showing a diffuse attenuation whereas the liver and kidneys reacted normally. The activities of NADH-dehydrogenase (complex I) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) were severely diminished (20% residual activity of controls) in the skeletal and heart muscle. In the heart, succinate cytochrome c reductase (complex II/III) was additionally decreased to the same degree. Loss of cytochrome c oxidase activity was based on a reduction of both mitochondrial and nuclear derived subunits in the heart and diaphragm as revealed by immunohistochemical analysis, whereas the limb muscle showed a normal immunoreactive protein content. The results illustrate heterogeneous tissue expression of respiratory chain enzyme defects and demonstrate that a cardiomyopathy may be the leading presentation of a mitochondrial disorder in early infancy.

In rats with active type of behaviour in "open field" and "forced swimming" tests in response to weak stress (handling) both the rate of local blood flow (RLBF) and free oxygen tension level (pO2) in the brain are increased, and in rats with passive type of behaviour RLBF is increased, but the pO2 level is decreased. The character of pO2 level changes in the brain under stress is significantly (r = -0.74, p less than 0.001) connected with the level of depressiveness (time of passive swimming) and is nonsignificantly connected with the level of the motor activity. Indices of the active type of behaviour (the number of crossed squares, rearings, comings out to the center of the field and the time of extinction of the motor activity) positively correlate with succinate dehydrogenase (SDG) activity and negatively with NADH-dehydrogenase (NADH-DG) activity and the index of the passive type of behaviour (time of passive swimming) positively correlates with NADH-DG activity and negatively--with SDG activity.

The biochemical characteristics of the electron transfer chain are evaluated in purified non-synaptic ("free") mitochondria from the forebrain of 60-week-old rats weekly subjected to peroxidative stress (once, twice, or three times) by the electrophilic prooxidant 2-cyclohexene-1-one. The following parameters are evaluated: (a) content of respiratory components, namely ubiquinone, cytochrome b, cytochrome c1, cytochrome c; (b) specific activity of enzymes, namely citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, rotenone-sensitive NADH: cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxidase; (c) concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH). Before the first peroxidative stress induction, the rats are administered for 8 weeks by intraperitoneal injection of vehicle, papaverine, delta-yohimbine, almitrine or hopanthenate. The rats are treated also during the week(s) before the second or third peroxidative stress. The cerebral peroxidative stress induces: (a) initially, a decrease in brain GSH concentration concomitant with a decrease in the mitochondrial activity of cytochrome oxidase of aa3-type (complex IV), without changes in ubiquinone and cytochrome b populations; (b) subsequently, an alteration in the transfer molecule cytochrome c and, finally, in rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase (complex I) and succinate dehydrogenase (complex II). The selective sensitivity of the chain components to peroxidative stress is supported by the effects of the concomitant subchronic treatment with agents acting at different biochemical steps. In fact, almitrine sets limits to its effects at cytochrome c content and aa3-type cytochrome oxidase activity, while delta-yohimbine sets limits to its effects at the level of tricarboxylic acid cycle (citrate synthase) and/or of intermediary between tricarboxylic acid cycle and complex II (succinate dehydrogenase).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Neutrophil myeloperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and chloride constitute a potent antimicrobial system with multiple effects on microbial cytoplasmic membranes. Among these is inhibition of succinate-dependent respiration mediated, principally, through inactivation of succinate dehydrogenase. Succinate-dependent respiration is inhibited at rates that correlate with loss of microbial viability, suggesting that loss of respiration might contribute to the microbicidal event. Because respiration in Escherichia coli can be mediated by dehydrogenases other than succinate dehydrogenase, the effects of the myeloperoxidase system on other membrane dehydrogenases were evaluated by histochemical activity stains of electrophoretically separated membrane proteins. Two bands of succinate dehydrogenase activity proved the most susceptible to inactivation with complete loss of staining activity within 20 min, under the conditions employed. A group with intermediate susceptibility, consisting of lactate, malate, glycerol-3-phosphate, and dihydroorotate dehydrogenases as well as three bands of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, was almost completely inactivated within 30 min. The relatively resistant group, including the dehydrogenases for glutamate, NADH, and NADPH and the remaining bands of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, retained substantial amounts of diaphorase activity for up to 60 min of incubation with the myeloperoxidase system. The differential effects of myeloperoxidase on dehydrogenase inactivation could not be correlated with published enzyme contents of flavin or iron-sulfur centers, potential targets of myeloperoxidase-derived oxidants. Despite the relative resistance of NADH dehydrogenase/diaphorase activity to myeloperoxidase-mediated inactivation, electron transport particles prepared from E. coli incubated for 20 min with the myeloperoxidase system lost 55% of their NADH oxidase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Incubation of aldehyde dehydrogenase-free mitochondrial preparations with biogenic amines serotonin, tyramine, 2-phenylethylamine and 5-methoxytryptamine resulted in inhibition of enzymes activity of both outer (rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase) and inner (succinate dehydrogenase, succinate cytochrome c reductase) mitochondrial membranes. Solubilization of mitochondria after the incubation did not influence the amine-induced alteration of succinate dehydrogenase activity. Pretreatment of the organelles with a mixture containing chlorgyline and deprenyl completely inhibited monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and prevented the effects of all the amines studied on mitochondrial enzymes. MAO-dependent effects of 5-methoxytryptamine were fully reproduced by 5-methoxyindolyl-3-acetaldehyde (one of probable products of 5-methoxytryptamine deamination). The effect of the aldehyde was not prevented by chlorgyline and deprenyl. After selective inhibition of MAO-A by chlorgyline the order of MAO-B-dependent effects of biogenic amines on mitochondrial enzymes studied was as follows: tyramine greater than or equal to 2-phenylethylamine much greater than serotonin. In deprenyl pretreated mitochondria the potency of MAO-A-dependent effects of these amines was: serotonin greater than tyramine much greater than much greater than 2-phenylethylamine. The data obtained suggest that the product(s) of oxidative deamination of biogenic amines (probably the aldehydes) catalyzed by both types of MAO (MAO-A and MAO-B) are able to regulate the energy functions of mitochondria.
