Chronic administration of the NADH-CoQ reductase inhibitor, diphenyleneiodonium to rats at two dose levels, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg per day, caused a 40% and 60% reduction, respectively, in the in vitro rate of NAD-linked respiration by skeletal muscle mitochondria. At the highest dose, muscle fatigue, lactic acidosis and an over-utilization of phosphocreatine was observed in the gastrocnemius muscle during mild stimulation of 1 Hz frequency. The resynthesis of phosphocreatine following muscle stimulation was about 2 fold slower in the treated animal group. At the low dose, no significant biochemical changes were observed during muscle stimulation at 4 Hz. The results are discussed in terms of skeletal muscle "oxidative reserve", twitch tension maintenance and the relevance to the human diseased state of mitochondrial myopathy.

The physiological role of pyocyanine for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. Its synthesis was shown to commence at the retardation growth phase. Pyocyanine was accumulated only in the growth medium. The addition of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol accepting the reducing equivalents from coenzyme Q and transferring them to cytochrome c inhibited the pigment accumulation. This was indicative of the connection between pyocyanine synthesis and the level of the reducing equivalents in the cells. Pyocyanine did not accept the reducing equivalents from coenzyme Q in the respiratory chain of P. aeruginosa. Only reduced pyridine nucleotides served as substrates for pyocyanine in the reaction of autooxidation. The kinetic parameters of this reaction and the affinity of NADH dehydrogenase for the substrate were measured. The kinetic data were analysed to show that, under the physiological conditions, pyocyanine could not apparently compete with the respiratory chain for the reducing equivalents and hence directly regulate the level of NAD(P)H in P. aeruginosa cells. In order to keep the oxidising activity at a level necessary for the cells, the latter decreased the content of the reducing equivalents either by synthesizing pyocyanine or owing to the activity of cyanide-resistant oxidase. These processes of releasing the reducing equivalents are in a reciprocal relationship.

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.

The yeast Candida parapsilosis possesses two routes of electron transfer from exogenous NAD(P)H to oxygen. Electrons are transferred either to the classical cytochrome pathway at the level of ubiquinone through an NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, or to an alternative pathway at the level of cytochrome c through another NAD(P)H dehydrogenase which is insensitive to antimycin A. Analyses of mitoplasts obtained by digitonin/osmotic shock treatment of mitochondria purified on a sucrose gradient indicated that the NADH and NADPH dehydrogenases serving the alternative route were located on the mitochondrial inner membrane. The dehydrogenases could be differentiated by their pH optima and their sensitivity to amytal, butanedione and mersalyl. No transhydrogenase activity occurred between the dehydrogenases, although NADH oxidation was inhibited by NADP+ and butanedione. Studies of the effect of NADP+ on NADH oxidation showed that the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase had Michaelis-Menten kinetics and was inhibited by NADP+, whereas the alternative NADH dehydrogenase had allosteric properties (NADH is a negative effector and is displaced from its regulatory site by NAD+ or NADP+).

Two types of the NADH-quinone reductase were isolated from Thermus thermophilus HB-8 membranes, by use of the nonionic detergent, dodecyl beta-maltoside, and NAD-agarose affinity, DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite, and Superose 6 column chromatography. One of these (NADH dehydrogenase 1) is a complex composed of 10 unlike polypeptides, and the other (NADH dehydrogenase 2) exhibits a single band (Mr 53,000) upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase activity of the isolated NADH dehydrogenase 1 was about 14 times higher than that of the dodecyl beta-maltoside extract and partially rotenone sensitive. The NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase activity of the isolated NADH dehydrogenase 2 was about 30-fold as high as that of the dodecyl beta-maltoside extract and rotenone insensitive. The purified NADH dehydrogenase 1 contained noncovalently bound FMN, non-heme iron, and acid-labile sulfide. The ratio of FMN to non-heme iron to acid-labile sulfide was 1:11-12:7-9. The high content of iron and labile sulfide is suggestive of the presence of several iron-sulfur clusters. The purified NADH dehydrogenase 2 contained noncovalently bound FAD and no non-heme iron or acid-labile sulfide. The activities of both NADH dehydrogenases were stable at temperatures of greater than or equal to 80 degrees C. The occurrence of two distinct types of NADH dehydrogenase as a common feature in the membranes of various aerobic bacteria is discussed.

Hepatocyte cytotoxicity caused by substituted benzoquinones was associated with increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. p-Benzoquinone-induced hepatotoxicity was enhanced when the hepatocytes were loaded with Ca2+ by preincubation with ATP. A similar order of potency of the substituted benzoquinones in releasing Ca2+ from isolated mitochondria and inducing hepatocyte cytotoxicity was found; in decreasing order, this was 2-Br-, unsubstituted-, 2-CH3-, 2,6-(CH3O)2-, 2,6-(CH3)2-, 2,5-(CH3)2-, 2,3,5-(CH3)3-, and 2,3,5,6-(CH3)4-benzoquinones (duroquinone). The cellular products of quinone metabolism, hydroquinones and glutathione conjugates, did not cause mitochondrial Ca2+ release. Benzoquinone-induced mitochondrial Ca2+ release was preceded by GSH conjugate formation and NAD(P)H oxidation but followed by mitochondrial swelling. With duroquinone, a slow GSH and NADPH oxidation preceded Ca2+ release, but GSH oxidation did not occur with Se-deficient mitochondria lacking glutathione peroxidase activity. Cyanide-insensitive respiration was also observed with duroquinone but not with benzoquinone, suggesting that duroquinone undergoes redox cycling. GSH was depleted by both arylation and oxidation with 2,6-(CH3O)2-, 2,6-(CH3)2-, 2,5(CH3)2-, and 2,3,5-(CH3)3-benzoquinones. Benzoquinone concentrations that totally depleted GSH did not cause Ca2+ release until intramitochondrial NAD(P)H was oxidized. Ca2+ release was also prevented when NAD(P)H generation was stimulated by the presence of isocitrate or 3-hydroxybutyrate. This suggests that mitochondrial Ca2+ release is associated with NAD(P)H oxidation catalyzed by NADH dehydrogenase with benzoquinone or by the glutathione peroxidase-glutathione reductase system with duroquinone.

In the present study we have used beef heart submitochondrial preparations (BH-SMP) to demonstrate that a component of mitochondrial Complex I, probably the NADH dehydrogenase flavin, is the mitochondrial site of anthracycline reduction. During forward electron transport, the anthracyclines doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and daunorubicin acted as one-electron acceptors for BH-SMP (i.e. were reduced to semiquinone radical species) only when NADH was used as substrate; succinate and ascorbate were without effect. Inhibitor experiments (rotenone, amytal, piericidin A) indicated that the anthracycline reduction site lies on the substrate side of ubiquinone. Doxorubicin and daunorubicin semiquinone radicals were readily detected by ESR spectroscopy. Doxorubicin and daunorubicin semiquinone radicals (g congruent to 2.004, signal width congruent to 4.5 G) reacted avidly with molecular oxygen, presumably to produce O2-, to complete the redox cycle. The identification of Complex I as the site of anthracycline reduction was confirmed by studies of ATP-energized reverse electron transport using succinate or ascorbate as substrates, in the presence of antimycin A or KCN respiratory blocks. Doxorubicin and daunorubicin inhibited the reduction of NAD+ to NADH during reverse electron transport. Furthermore, during reverse electron transport in the absence of added NAD+, doxorubicin and daunorubicin addition caused oxygen consumption due to reduction of molecular oxygen (to O2-) by the anthracycline semiquinone radicals. With succinate as electron source both thenoyltrifluoroacetone (an inhibitor of Complex II) and rotenone blocked oxygen consumption, but with ascorbate as electron source only rotenone was an effective inhibitor. NADH oxidation by doxorubicin during BH-SMP forward electron transport had a KM of 99 microM and a Vmax of 30 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 (at pH 7.4 and 23 degrees C); values for daunorubicin were 71 microM and 37 nmol X min-1 X mg-1. Oxygen consumption at pH 7.2 and 37 degrees C exhibited KM values of 65 microM for doxorubicin and 47 microM for daunorubicin, and Vmax values of 116 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 for doxorubicin and 114 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 for daunorubicin. In marked contrast with these results, 5-iminodaunodrubicin (a new anthracycline with diminished cardiotoxic potential) exhibited little or no tendency to undergo reduction, or to redox cycle with BH-SMP. Redox cycling of anthracyclines by mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase is shown, in the accompanying paper (Doroshow, J. H., and Davies, K. J. A. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 3068-3074), to generate O2-, H2O2, and OH which may underlie the cardiotoxicity of these antitumor agents.

The rate of irreversible loss of mitochondrial phosphorylating respiratory function with NAD-linked substrates during zero flow myocardial autolysis at 37 degrees C was gradual and relatively linear with time, progressing at about 1% of the control activity per minute. State 3 respiratory rates and initial rates of inner membrane potential development dropped off in close parallel with one another as well as with NADH-coenzyme Q (CoQ) reductase activity, suggesting that oxygen uptake as well as membrane potential development were rate limited by the increasing impairment of electron flow through complex I. Although the initial rate of membrane potential development dropped off gradually, the time course for the loss of the ability to ultimately develop and hold a full potential was slower still, there being only a moderate impairment of this ability at 80 min of autolysis. This sustained ability to develop and hold a membrane potential after more than 1 h of autolysis suggested that inner membrane leakiness contributed little or not at all to the functional impairment observed. The irreversible loss of mitochondrial inner membrane competence emerged in these studies as a relatively late development in the sequence of cellular alterations which characterize the myocardial ischemic process.

The effect of asphyxia and subsequent resumption of respiration on the content of adenine nucleotides and some amino acids in heart tissue and mitochondria, as well as respiration of heart mitochondria was studied in rats. The depression of cardiac contractile function during asphyxia showed a better correlation with losses in mitochondrial adenine nucleotides (ATP + ADP + AMP) than those in cardiac tissue. The decrease in the heart work index was accompanied by a decrease in state 3 respiration with glutamate and malate as well as uncoupled respiration with these substrates. This did not occur with succinate. Nonphosphorylating (state 4) respiratory rates and ADP/O ratios were slightly affected by asphyxia, when respiratory substrates of both types were used. The decreased level of glutamic acid in the tissue and mitochondria of asphyxic hearts was simultaneously observed with a significant increase of alanine in cardiac tissue and of aspartic acid in the mitochondria. The losses of intramitochondrial ATP and respiratory activity with NAD-dependent substrates during asphyxia were associated with a reduction of glutamic acid level in mitochondria. The recovery of cardiac function during resumption of respiration was related to the restoration of mitochondrial respiration supported by glutamate and malate, as well as to the restoration of mitochondrial adenine nucleotides and glutamic acid. The results suggest that the depression of cardiac function caused by acute respiratory hypoxia may be attributed to impairment of electron transport, particularly in complex I of the respiratory chain and changes in metabolism of glutamic acid.

Experimental evidence is presented showing the existence of an NADH-consuming enzyme in heart mitochondria, in addition to the NADH--ubiquinone oxidase of complex I. In contrast to the latter, the novel enzyme is accessible from the extramitochondrial space. Removal of the outer membranes from intact mitochondria had no influence on exogenous NADH consumption, indicating its location at the cytosolic face of the inner membrane. The enzyme could be solubilized from this membrane and purified by sedimentation through preformed sucrose gradients. Liver mitochondria exhibited no oxidation of external NADH, suggesting that the enzyme is organo-specific. The "exogenous NADH dehydrogenase" of heart mitochondria was found to introduce reducing equivalents into the respiratory chain before the rotenone block, indicating that the enzyme is associated with complex I. The enzyme was also demonstrated to be involved in electron flow from the respiratory chain to exogenous electron acceptors, including NAD+. This permitted us to elicit the existence of an energy-dependent reversed electron flow from complex II to complex I. The redox shuttle established by the novel enzyme could be of significance for the regulation of cellular NADH and the metabolic activation of foreign compounds such as adriamycin.
