We have recently shown that exposure of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to a toxic dose of normobaric hyperoxia (98% O2 for 3 days) caused a disturbance of cellular energy metabolism, that is, respiratory failure followed by stimulation of glycolytic activity and a net depletion of ATP. Respiratory failure was correlated with a selective inactivation of three mitochondrial enzymes, that is, partial inactivation of NADH dehydrogenase and virtually complete inactivation of succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activities (Schoonen et al., 1990). To elucidate the biochemical basis of resistance to hyperoxia in a previously described oxygen-resistant substrain of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, we compared the resistant cells with wildtype CHO cells with respect to several key parameters of oxidative and glycolytic energy metabolism. The two cell types were critically different in that the succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenases of the oxygen-resistant cells were relatively resistant to inactivation by hyperoxia, which may at least partly explain their enhanced capacity to respire and survive under hyperoxic conditions. Although the biochemical basis for the observed enzyme resistance to hyperoxic inactivation remains to be elucidated, the present data underscore the importance of succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenases as critical targets in hyperoxic killing of wildtype CHO cells.

Postmortem changes in mitochondrial respiratory enzymes (Complex I-IV and NAD(+)-linked dehydrogenases in the TCA cycle) were studied in mouse brains and human frontal lobes. In mouse brains, activities of the enzymes studied were generally stable for as long as 12 h after cervical dislocation, except for the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and NADP(+)-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. In human frontal cortices, only NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) activity showed significant negative correlation with the duration between the patient's death and the freezing of the brain. No correlations between the activities of the enzymes studied and the age of the patients were noted. As most of our patients were 50 years of age or above, absence of the correlation cannot be extended to younger patients. From our observation, it was felt that analyses of these mitochondrial enzymes in human autopsy brains would give meaningful data. Preliminary observation in Parkinson's disease revealed a small but a significant decrease in the activity of Complex III in the striatum as compared with the control. Although, significance of our observation is not yet known, further studies on this line appear to be important to elucidate pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Continuous exposure of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to an atmosphere of 98% O2, 2% CO2 (normobaric hyperoxia) leads within a period of several days to cytostasis and clonogenic cell death. Here we report respiratory failure as an important early symptom of oxygen intoxication in CHO cells, resulting in a more than 80% inhibition of oxygen consumption within 3 days of hyperoxic exposure. This inhibition appeared to be correlated with selective inactivation of three mitochondrial key enzymes, NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. The latter enzyme controls the influx of glutamate into the Krebs cycle and is particularly critical for oxidative ATP generation in most cultured cells, which depends on exogenous glutamine rather than glucose as a carbon source. As expected, the inactivation of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase was correlated with a fall in cellular glutamine utilization, which became apparent from the first day of hyperoxic exposure. Thereafter, glucose utilization and lactate excretion started to increase, up to 3-fold, indicating a cellular response to respiratory failure aimed at increased ATP generation from glycolysis. However, in spite of this response, the cellular ATP level progressively decreased, up to 2.5-fold. Thus, killing of CHO cells by normobaric hyperoxia seems to be due to a severe disturbance of mitochondrial metabolism eventually leading to a depletion of cellular ATP pools.

The binding of porcine heart mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase to bovine heart NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), but not that of bovine heart alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, is virtually abolished by 0.1 mM NADH. The malate dehydrogenase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA enzymes compete in part for the same binding site(s) on complex I as do the malate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex enzymes. Associations between mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase and bovine serum albumin were observed. Subtle convection artifacts in short-time centrifugation tests of enzyme association with the Beckman Airfuge are described. Substrate channeling of NADH from both the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase isozymes to complex I and reduction of ubiquinone-1 were shown to occur in vitro by transient enzyme-enzyme complex formation. Excess apoenzyme causes little inhibition of the substrate channeling reaction with both malate dehydrogenase isozymes in spite of tighter equilibrium binding than the holoenzyme to complex I. This substrate channeling could, in principle, provide a dynamic microcompartmentation of mitochondrial NADH.

Interaction between the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was detected with a variety of techniques including polyethylene glycol precipitation, ultracentrifugation, and centrifugal gel filtration on a Sepharose 6B column. The interaction was specific in that citrate synthase, cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase did not interact with alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The interaction was not inhibited by either 0.1 M KCl or 0.4 M (NH4)2SO4, but was completely prevented by 5% glycerol. A new method for the preparation of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase resulted in an enzyme having a protein subunit composition similar to that of classical complex I preparation. Evidence is given for the existence of ternary complexes containing NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase-alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex-NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase-alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex-succinate thiokinase. These data suggest that a part of the citric acid cycle may be located in the vicinity of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase. These complexes may facilitate the transport of metabolites among these enzymes without their equilibrating with the whole compartment.

Effects of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+) on cellular respiration were studied using mitochondria prepared from mouse brains. State 3 and state 4 respiration supported by glutamate plus malate or pyruvate plus malate were significantly inhibited by 0.05 mM MPP+. On the other hand, respirations supported by succinate or alpha-glycerophosphate were not inhibited at all. Activity of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase was significantly inhibited by MPP+. This inhibition was markedly potentiated by preincubating mitochondria with MPP+ together with glutamate plus malate. The latter observation suggested accumulation of MPP+ within the mitochondria during preincubation. When mitochondria were pretreated with an uncoupling agent such as carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or dinitrophenol, MPP+-induced inhibition of state 3 respiration or of activity of complex I could no longer be seen. A potassium ionophore, valinomycin, showed a similar effect. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis was also inhibited by MPP+. Among the NAD+-linked dehydrogenases in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex was significantly inhibited by MPP+. This inhibition was reversible and competitive with NAD+. Energy crisis appears to be one of the most important mechanisms of neuronal degeneration in MPTP-induced parkinsonism. Biochemical mechanisms underlying MPP+-induced inhibition of mitochondrial respiration were discussed.

A rapid decrease in male fertility in laboratory animals exposed to 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) has been suggested to be due, in part, to a postglycolytic inhibition of sperm carbohydrate metabolism. The present studies were performed to identify the specific site of DBCP-induced inhibition of intermediary metabolism. 14CO2 generation by epididymal sperm, isolated from Fischer 344 rats, was measured using radiolabeled tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates: acetyl CoA, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and succinate. There was 0-28% inhibition of CO2 generation after addition of 0.5 mM DBCP and 81-98% inhibition with 3 mM DBCP, with all four substrates. The activities of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase were not inhibited by DBCP. Since the DBCP-induced inhibition of metabolism of different substrates to CO2 was similar, and since DBCP did not inhibit enzyme activities of glycolysis or the TCA cycle, a common site of inhibition was suspected. In evaluations of mitochondrial electron transport chain activity, DBCP (3 mM) inhibited oxygen consumption resulting from metabolism of endogenous substrates plus alpha-ketoglutarate or malate by about 80%. When succinate, an FAD-dependent oxidation, was used as a substrate, oxygen consumption was not inhibited by DBCP. It is concluded that DBCP inhibits sperm carbohydrate metabolism at the NADH dehydrogenase step in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) of the mitochondrial inner membrane respiratory chain binds a number of mitochondrial matrix NAD-linked dehydrogenases. These include pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. No binding was detected between complex I and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase, lipoamide dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, or fumarase. The dehydrogenases that bound to complex I did not bind to a preparation of complex II and III, nor did they bind to liposomes. The binding of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase to complex I is a saturable process. Based upon the amount of binding observed in these in vitro studies, there is enough inner membrane present in the mitochondria to bind the dehydrogenases in the matrix space. The possible metabolic significance of these interactions is discussed.

Rat liver mitochondria, stored with the energy-linked functions preserved or in aging conditions, were used to assay the activity of various enzymes during five days. The preservation of energy-linked functions was monitored by the respiratory control coefficient. ATPase, cytochrome oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase showed increased activity when the energy-linked functions were preserved. In aging conditions, cytochrome oxidase, NADH dehydrogenase and ATPase showed decreased activity. The ATPase activity increased only when mitochondria were stored in the presence of inhibitors of the electron transport chain. The activity of NADH oxidase did not change, and succinate oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase showed a small decrease in their activity. The enzymes of the matrix, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase showed little decrease in activity under either of the conditions of storage. The total protein content decreased slightly under both conditions of storage. These results show that the activity of the enzymes analysed was maintained at reasonable levels, when the energy-linked functions of isolated mitochondria were preserved.

We discuss the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our group and others have found a decrease in complex I of the mitochondrial electron transfer complex in the substantia nigra of patients with PD; in addition, we reported loss of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) in the substantia nigra. Dual loss of complex I and the KGDHC will deleteriously affect the electron transport and ATP synthesis; we believe that energy crisis is the most important mechanism of nigral cell death in PD. Oxidative stress has also been implicated as an important contributor to nigral cell death in PD, but we believe that oxidative stress is a secondary phenomenon to respiratory failure, because respiratory failure will increase oxygen free-radical formation and consume glutathione. The primary cause of mitochondrial respiratory failure has not been elucidated yet, but additive effect of environmental neurotoxins in genetically predisposed persons appears to be the most likely possibility.
