Modulation of mitochondrial respiratory chain, dehydrogenase, and nucleotide-metabolizing enzyme activities is fundamental to cellular protection. Here, we demonstrate that the potassium channel opener diazoxide, within its cardioprotective concentration range, modulated the activity of flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent succinate dehydrogenase with an IC50 of 32 microM and reduced the rate of succinate-supported generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in heart mitochondria. 5-Hydroxydecanoic fatty acid circumvented diazoxide-inhibited succinate dehydrogenase-driven electron flow, indicating a metabolism-dependent supply of redox equivalents to the respiratory chain. In perfused rat hearts, diazoxide diminished the generation of malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative stress, which, however, increased on diazoxide washout. This effect of diazoxide mimicked ischemic preconditioning and was associated with reduced oxidative damage on ischemia-reperfusion. Diazoxide reduced cellular and mitochondrial ATPase activities, along with nucleotide degradation, contributing to preservation of myocardial ATP levels during ischemia. Thus, by targeting nucleotide-requiring enzymes, particularly mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and cellular ATPases, diazoxide reduces ROS generation and nucleotide degradation, resulting in preservation of myocardial energetics under stress.

Evidence has been presented that mitochondria contain ATP sensitive potassium channels (mK-ATP channels), which may confer tissue protection upon activation. It is, however, not known whether activation of mK-ATP channels has a direct effect on mitochondrial ATP production. This study was performed to define the effect of pinacidil (PIN) on ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation in isolated cardiomyocyte or pancreatic beta-cell mitochondria. Cardiomyocyte mitochondria produced seven times more ATP than beta-cell mitochondria in the presence of pyruvate/malate. PIN inhibited pyruvate/malate-induced mitochondrial ATP production with half maximal effect at 360 microM in both cell types. The inclusion of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) did not prevent this inhibition. Succinate induced a similar ATP production in cardiomyocyte or beta-cell mitochondria. In beta-cell mitochondria succinate-induced ATP production was inhibited by PIN with half maximal effects at 500 microM PIN. However, in cardiomyocyte mitochondria PIN stimulated succinate-induced ATP production 3-fold with half maximal effect at 100 microM and maximal effect at 200 microM. This PIN-dependent stimulation was mimicked by rotenone. The inclusion of 5-HD could not prevent these PIN effects. In conclusion, PIN may inhibit complex 1 of the respiratory chain without indications of opening mK-ATP channels. In cardiomyocytes with metabolically inhibited succinate dehydrogenase this results in a stimulation of ATP production conferring tissue protection. In beta-cells without a metabolically inhibited succinate dehydrogenase, there is no stimulation by PIN and tissue protection by PIN is not to be expected.

In the present study a histochemical method demonstrating the activity of dehydrogenase systems was developed for electron microscopy, utilizing potassium tellurite as the hydrogen or electron acceptor. This reagent was used intravitally (intravenously, intraperitoneally, or intraluminally in hollow organs) or supravitally on small blocks of tissue for the demonstration of endogenous dehydrogenase activity. Blocks of tissue which had been frozen and thawed or which had been washed in 0.44 M sucrose to prevent endogenous activity, were used to demonstrate the activity of the succinic dehydrogenase system. In the latter case, the incubating medium contained tellurite, succinate, phosphate buffer, sucrose, and activators. The incubation was as performed either aerobically (with or without the addition of potassium cyanide) or anaerobically. The specificity and the enzymatic nature of the reactions were ascertained by appropriate control experiments. Reduced tellurite, the end product of this histochemical reaction, could be visualized in thin sections of osmium tetroxide-fixed, methacrylate-embedded tissues as crystals or fine particulate deposits of high density, localized on, or in close relationship to mitochondrial membranes. The results of these experiments are demonstrated, utilizing heart muscle (rat) as the source of the enzyme systems.

We investigated the effect of diazoxide on neuronal survival in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Diazoxide pre-treatment induced delayed pre-conditioning and almost entirely attenuated the OGD-induced neuronal death. Diazoxide inhibited succinate dehydrogenase and induced mitochondrial depolarization, free radical production and protein kinase C activation. The putative mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate abolished the protective effect of diazoxide while the non-selective KATP channel blocker glibenclamide did not. The non-selective KATP channel openers nicorandil and cromakalim did not improve viability. Superoxide dismutase mimetic, M40401, or protein kinase C inhibitor, chelerythrine, prevented the neuroprotective effect of diazoxide. Diazoxide did not increase reduced glutathione and manganese-superoxide dismutase levels but we found significantly higher reduced glutathione levels in diazoxide-pre-conditioned neurons after OGD. In pre-conditioned neurons free radical production was reduced upon glutamate stimulation. The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor 3-nitropropionic acid also induced pre-conditioning and free radical production in neurons. Here, we provide the first evidence that diazoxide induces delayed pre-conditioning in neurons via acute generation of superoxide anion and activation of protein kinases and subsequent attenuation of oxidant stress following OGD. The succinate dehydrogenase-inhibiting effect of diazoxide is more likely to be involved in this neuroprotection than the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

Effects of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels opener pinacidil (0.06 mg/kg) and inhibitor glibenclamide (1 mg/kg) in rats with different resistance to hypoxia on indices of ADP-stimulation of mitochondrial respiration by Chance, calcium capacity and processes of lipid peroxidation in liver has been investigated. We used next substrates of oxidation: 0.35 mM succinate, 1 mM alpha-ketoglutarate. Additional analyses contain the next inhibitors: mitochondrial fermentative complex I-10 mkM rotenone, succinate dehydrogenase 2 mM malonic acid. It was shown that effects of pinacidil induced the increasing of oxidative phosporylation efficacy and ATP synthesis together with lowering of calcium capacity in rats with low resistance to hypoxia. Effects of pinacidil were leveled by glibenclamide. These changes are connected with the increasing of respiratory rate, calcium overload and intensification of lipid peroxidation processes. A conclusion was made about protective effect of pinacidil on mitochondrial functioning by economization of oxygen-dependent processes, adaptive potentialities of organisms with low resistance to hypoxia being increased.

The influence of activator of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) pinacidil and blocker glibenclamide after intermittent hypoxia in rats under stress condition on ADP-stimulated mitochondrial respiration by Chance and lipid peroxidation processes in liver have been investigated. We used next substrates of oxidation--0.35 mM succinate, 1 mM alpha-ketoglutarate, 3 mM glutamate, 3 mM pyruvate, 2.5 mM malate and inhibitor of the mitochondrial fermentative complex I (10 microM rotenone), succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (2 mM malonate) and inhibitor of transamination (1 mM aminooxiacetate). We suggest that adaptation by intermittent hypoxia and application of a KATP opener pinacidil possess significant protective effect on mitochondrial energy support under stress condition. Combination of intermittent hypoxia with pinacidil causes more efficient consumption of oxygen and decrease of lipid peroxidation processes comparative to intermittent hypoxia or pinacidil injection used separately. We conclude about the existence of the functional link between nitric oxide which is being increased under intermittent hypoxia and KATP opener. Both intermittent hypoxia and pinacidil effectively decrease the negative results of mitochondrial dysfunction under stress condition.

Previously, we have shown that the pharmacological opening of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K channels with diazoxide (DZX) enhances the cardioprotection afforded by magnesium-supplemented potassium (K/Mg) cardioplegia. To determine the mechanisms involved in the cardioprotection afforded by K/Mg + DZX cardioplegia, rabbit hearts (n=24) were subjected to isolated Langendorff perfusion. Control hearts were perfused for 75 min. Global ischemia (GI) hearts were subjected to 30 min of equilibrium, 30 min of GI, and 15 min of reperfusion. K/Mg and K/Mg + DZX cardioplegia hearts received either K/Mg or K/Mg + DZX for 5 min before GI and reperfusion. Tissue was harvested for mitochondrial isolation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mitochondrial structure, area, matrix volume, free calcium, and oxygen consumption were determined. TEM demonstrated that GI mitochondria were damaged and that K/Mg and K/Mg + DZX preserved mitochondrial structure. TEM and light scattering demonstrated separately that mitochondrial matrix and cristae area and matrix volume were significantly increased after GI and reperfusion with GI > K/Mg + DZX > K/Mg hearts (P <0.05 vs. control). Mitochondrial free calcium was significantly increased in GI and K/Mg hearts. K/Mg + DZX significantly decreased mitochondrial free calcium accumulation (P <0.05 vs. GI and K/Mg). State 3 oxygen consumption and respiratory control index in malate (complex I substrate)- and succinate (complex II substrate)-energized mitochondria were significantly decreased (P <0.05 vs. control) in the GI and K/Mg + DZX groups. These data indicate that the enhanced cardioprotection afforded by K/Mg + DZX cardioplegia occurs through the preservation of mitochondrial structure and the significant decrease in mitochondrial free calcium accumulation and mitochondrial state 3 oxygen consumption.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme Complexes are present in placenta at proportion similar to other tissues with exception of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH) which is expressed at a very high rate. As shown by Western blot quantification and respiratory chain enzyme activity measurements, the specific content of mGPDH is similar to that of succinate dehydrogenase or NADH dehydrogenase. Using fluorometric probe dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate we found that placental mitochondria display high rate of glycerophosphate-dependent hydrogen peroxide production. This was confirmed by oxygraphic detection of glycerophosphate-induced, KCN- or antimycin A-insensitive oxygen uptake. Hydrogen peroxide production by mGPDH was highly activated by one-electron acceptor, potassium ferricyanide and it was depressed by inhibitors of mGPDH and by cytochrome c. Our results indicate that mGPDH should be considered as an additional source of reactive oxygen species participating in induction of oxidative stress in placenta.

Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel openers protect the piglet brain against ischemic stress. Effects of mitoK(ATP) channel agonists on isolated mitochondria, however, have not been directly examined. We investigated the effects of K(ATP) channel openers and blockers on membrane potential and on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in isolated piglet mitochondria. Diazoxide and BMS-191095, putative selective openers of mitoK(ATP), decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi(m)). On a molar basis, diazoxide was less effective than BMS-191095. In contrast, diazoxide but not BMS-191095 increased ROS production by mitochondria. Since diazoxide also inhibits succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), we examined the effects of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), an inhibitor of SDH. 3-NPA failed to change the delta psi(m) but increased ROS production. Inhibitors of K(ATP) channels did not affect resting delta psi(m) or ROS production, but glibenclamide and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) blocked effects of diazoxide and BMS-191095 on delta psi(m) and diazoxide effects on ROS production. We conclude that BMS-191095 has selective effects on mitoK(ATP) channels while diazoxide also increases ROS production probably via inhibition of SDH.

Pharmacological interruption of the angiotensin II (ANG II) type 1 receptor signaling during nephrogenesis in rats perturbs renal tubular development. This study aimed to further investigate tubular developmental defects in neonatal rats subjected to ANG II inhibition with enalapril. We evaluated tubular ultrastructural changes using electron microscopy and estimated spectrophotometrically activity or concentrations of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), cytochromes a and c, which are components of mitochondrial respiratory chain, on postnatal days 2 and 9 (PD2 and PD9). Renal expression of sodium-potassium adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) and two reflectors of mitochondrial biogenesis [mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) and translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20)] also were studied using Western immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Enalapril disrupted inner mitochondrial membranes of developing cortical and medullary tubular cells on PD2 and PD9. These findings were paralleled by impaired mitochondrial respiratory function, as revealed from the changes in components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, such as decreased cytochrome c level in the cortex and medulla on PD2 and PD9, decreased cytochrome a level in the cortex and medulla on PD2, and diminished cortical SDH activity on PD2 and PD9. Moreover, tubular expression of the most active energy-consuming pump Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was decreased by enalapril treatment. Renal expression of TFAM and TOM20 was not altered by neonatal enalapril treatment. Because nephrogenesis is a highly energy-demanding biological process, with the energy being utilized for renal growth and transport activities, the structural-functional alterations of the mitochondria induced by neonatal enalapril treatment may provide the propensity for the tubular developmental defect.
