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)

Mercuric ion (Hg(II)) causes oxidative tissue damage in kidney cortical cells. We studied the in vitro effects of Hg(II) on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production by rat kidney mitochondria, a principal intracellular target of Hg(II). In mitochondria supplemented with a respiratory chain substrate (succinate or malate/glutamate) and an electron transport inhibitor (antimycin A (AA) or rotenone), Hg(II) (30 nmol/mg protein) increased H2O2 formation approximately 4-fold at the ubiquinone-cytochrome b region (AA-inhibited) and 2-fold at the NADH dehydrogenase region (rotenone-inhibited). Concomitantly, Hg(II) increased iron-dependent lipid peroxidation 3.5-fold at the NADH dehydrogenase region, but only by 25% at the ubiquinone-cytochrome b region. The mitochondrial concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) decreased both with incubation time and Hg(II) concentration. Hg(II), at a concentration of 12 nmol/mg protein, caused almost complete depletion of measurable GSH in substrate-supplemented mitochondria after a 30-min incubation. In electron transport-inhibited mitochondria, Hg(II) caused greater depletion of GSH in rotenone-inhibited than in AA-inhibited mitochondria, consistent with the effects of Hg(II) on lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that Hg(II) at low concentrations depletes mitochondrial GSH and enhances H2O2 formation in kidney mitochondria under conditions of impaired respiratory chain electron transport. The increased H2O2 formation by Hg(II) may lead to oxidative tissue damage, such as lipid peroxidation, observed in mercury-induced nephrotoxicity.

Mitochondrial injury caused by cold preservation without oxygenation was studied polarographically. Respiration activity with glutamate as substrate was impaired after 6 hours preservation with Euro-Collin's solution at 4 degrees C, while that with succinate as substrate was maintained at the control level after 24 hours preservation. Membrane potential across mitochondrial membrane in state 4 was not damaged after 24 hours preservation. These results indicate that NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase is impaired during cold and simple preservation.

The effects of amiodarone on the respiration of isolated mouse liver mitochondria have been determined. Amiodarone (200 microM) had a biphasic effect on state 4 respiration supported by either glutamate plus malate or succinate. Initially, the respiratory rate was increased. This stimulatory effect was not prevented by oligomycin (an inhibitor of ATP synthase). It was associated with marked accumulation of amiodarone in the mitochondria, and with collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential. This initial uncoupling effect was followed by a progressive decrease in the state 4 respiration rate, leading eventually to marked inhibition. Preincubation for 5 min with amiodarone (200 microM) also decreased markedly ADP-stimulated (state 3) respiration, ATP production and dinitrophenol-stimulated (uncoupled) respiration supported by glutamate plus malate (which donate electrons to complex I), and respiration supported by succinate (which donate electrons to complex II), but did not affect respiration supported by duroquinol (donating electrons to complex III) or by ascorbate plus N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (donating electrons to cytochrome c). Preincubation with amiodarone (150-200 microM) decreased markedly respiration mediated by fatty acids of various chain length and respiration mediated by citrate, a tricarboxylic acid cycle substrate. We conclude that amiodarone has a dual effect on mitochondrial respiration. The initial uncoupling effect is probably due to the entry of protonated amiodarone, releasing a proton in the matrix. Accumulation of amiodarone soon leads to inhibition of the respiratory chain at the levels of complex I and complex II and to decreased ATP formation.

Effects of MPTP-like compounds on mitochondrial respiration, activity of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) and on ATP synthesis were reported. Mitochondria prepared from mouse whole brains were used. The compounds tested include tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ), tetrahydropapaveroline (THP), tetrahydropapaverine (THPV), and salsolinol. TIQ, THP, and THPV significantly inhibited the state 3 respiration supported by glutamate + malate, activity of complex I and ATP synthesis. Among these compounds, THPV was most potent. Toxic properties of these compounds on mitochondria were similar to MPP+. Significance of our results was discussed with respect to etiology of Parkinson's disease.

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.

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 in vivo action of cyclosporine A (CS) on rat renal cortical mitochondria was investigated. CS (30 mg.kg-1.day-1) given orally to rats for 30 days caused an augmentation of renal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The ADP-stimulated respiratory rate was increased by 37.0% with glutamate plus malate as respiratory substrates (P less than 0.025) but not with succinate-supported respiration, indicating enhancement of mitochondrial complex I activity. This reaction may be a response to the 32.5% reduction of renal blood (P less than 0.005) in the CS-treated group, possibly serving to maximize ATP synthesis during ischemia. Ligation-induced decreases in renal blood flow also resulted in enhancement of mitochondrial complex I activity.

Highly purified succinate-ubiquinone reductase catalyzes the oxidation of L- or D-malate with a Km and initial Vmax equal to approximately 10(-3) M and approximately 100 nmol/min/mg of protein, respectively. The malate dehydrogenase activity of succinate dehydrogenase rapidly decreases regardless of the presence of glutamate plus glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase. The inhibitor trapping system, however, prevents the inactivation of succinate dehydrogenase under the conditions when the rate of tautomeric oxaloacetate enol in equilibrium oxaloacetate ketone interconversion is high. These results suggest that enol oxaloacetate is an immediate product of malate oxidation at the succinate dehydrogenase active site. Two proteins (Mr 37 and 80 kD) which catalyze the oxaloacetate tautomerase reaction were isolated from the mitochondrial matrix. Some physico-chemical and kinetic properties of these enzymes were characterized. The larger protein was identified as inactive aconitase. The system containing succinate dehydrogenase, L-malate, glutamate plus transaminase and oxaloacetate tautomerase was reconstituted. Such a system is capable of oxidizing malate to aspartate without rapid inactivation of succinate dehydrogenase. Taken together, the data obtained emphasize a significant role of enzymatic oxaloacetate tautomerization in the control of the succinate dehydrogenase activity in the mitochondrial matrix.

The effects of idebenone (CV-2619) and its metabolites on respiratory activity and lipid peroxidation in isolated brain mitochondria from rats and dogs were studied. CV-2619 was easily reduced by canine brain mitochondria in the presence of respiratory substrates. Reduced CV-2619 (2H-CV-2619) was rapidly oxidized through the cytochrome b chain, indicating that the compound functioned simply as an electron carrier of mitochondrial respiratory system. Both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)- and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent lipid peroxidations were examined in canine brain mitochondria in the presence of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and Fe3+. NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity was sensitive to NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. CV-2619 (10(-5)M) strongly inhibited both types of the lipid peroxidation reactions and protected the resultant inactivation of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Activities of succinate oxidase in rat and canine brain mitochondria were virtually unaffected by CV-2619 and its metabolites (10(-5)-10(-6) M). On the other hand, CV-2619 markedly suppressed the state 3 respiration in glutamate oxidation in a dose dependent manner without any effect on the state 4 respiration and the ADP/O ratio in intact rat brain mitochondria. The inhibitory effect of CV-2619 was also observed in NADH-cytochrome c reductase, but not in NADH-2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP) and NADH-ubiquinone reductases in canine brain mitochondria. These facts and results of inhibitor analysis suggest that the action site of CV-2619 is NADH-linked complex I in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is different from that of inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation such as rotenone, oligomycin and 2,4-dinitrophenol. Finally, the above findings suggest that CV-2619 acts as an electron carrier in respiratory chains and functions as an antioxidant against membrane damage caused by lipid peroxidation in brain mitochondria. It appears likely that the inhibition of oxygen consumption caused by CV-2619 is related to the effect on non-respiratory systems such as lipid peroxidation which also consumes oxygen.
