Physiological increases in matrix calcium are known to stimulate three mitochondrial dehydrogenases. In mitochondria isolated from rat heart, calcium stimulates rates of State 3 respiration during oxidation of succinate and of several NAD-linked substrates. In this study, we investigated the effects of calcium on NADH dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase activities since the mechanism of these effects is unresolved. The respiratory activities of intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles (SMP) were compared during incubation in media containing either ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or a Ca2+/EGTA buffer (approximately 1 microM free Ca2+). In intact mitochondria oxidizing 20 mM glutamate plus 2 mM malate, the membrane potential (delta psi) and matrix NAD(P)H were maintained at higher levels, and the maximal rate of ADP-stimulated respiration (State 3) was increased twofold by the presence of calcium. With succinate as substrate, calcium stimulated State 3 respiration but it did not influence the pyridine nucleotides redox state or membrane potential. Stimulation of succinate-supported respiration by addition of 6-10 microM ADP in the presence of hexokinase caused a sudden decrease in NAD(P)H and collapse of delta psi. This effect was not caused by inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase or by opening of the nonspecific pore. Calcium did not influence the oxidation of succinate by SMP containing either activated or nonactivated succinate dehydrogenase. In addition, calcium did not alter the kinetics of succinate dehydrogenase activation. Calcium and magnesium, in the concentration range of 0.02 to 5 mM, did not influence the NADH dehydrogenase activity of SMP. Energization of SMP by oligomycin addition, however, dramatically influenced the kinetic properties of NADH dehydrogenase. It is proposed that in heart mitochondria, calcium does not affect directly the components of electron transport but it may influence the activity of NADH dehydrogenase indirectly by increasing delta psi.

Chloroquine causes an increase in phospholipid and a decrease in cholesterol in liver mitochondria. A significant decrease in the activities of mitochondrial inner membrane enzymes such as NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase is observed. Decrease in cytochrome contents and respiratory control ratio, shown by a decrease in state 3(+ADP) and an increase in state 4 (-ADP), implies decreased ATP synthesis following chloroquine administration. The results confirm drug-induced inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, thereby impairing availability and utilisation of energy.

In contrast with other inhibitors of the NADH dehydrogenase of the respiratory chain, the decarboxylated dimer of aminoethylcysteine ketimine protects bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) from the NADH-Fe(+3)-ADP-induced lipid peroxidation. This effect, measured as inhibition of malondialdehyde formation, is concentration-dependent in the range 0.02-0.2 mM. This range of concentration is not inhibitory on NADH-oxidase activity of SMP. Furthermore the dimer is able to counteract the malondialdehyde formation stimulated by the Complex I inhibitors rotenone and N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+).

The product of the spontaneous dimerization and decarboxylation of aminoethylcysteine ketimine (simply named the dimer in this note) has been investigated for a possible biochemical activity. It has been found that the dimer inhibits the ADP-dependent oxidation of NAD(+)-linked substrates in rat liver mitochondria and electron transport from NADH to O2 in bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP). Oxidation of succinate by SMP is not impaired by concentrations of the dimer inhibiting almost totally NADH oxidation. Furthermore, the dimer did not affect the rotenone-insensitive electron transfer from NADH to menadione. These results give a preliminary indication suggesting that the dimer inhibits electron flow from NADH dehydrogenase to ubiquinone at or near the rotenone binding site(s). The dimer inhibition falls in the same range exhibited by some neurotoxins which are known to interact with the rotenone binding site.

The existence of an organo-specific (heart) external NADH dehydrogenase located on the outer face of the inner mitochondrial membrane has been recently proposed. We have studied the respiration on external NADH in rat and beef heart mitochondrial fractions: (i) by using different mitochondrial isolation procedures on the rat, we observed that the higher the criteria of quality toward classical substrate respiration of mitochondrial fractions, the lower the external NADH-linked respiration; (ii) by using an especially loosely fitting glass-Teflon homogenizer, we obtained rat heart mitochondrial fractions practically free from external NADH linked respiration and with the highest respiratory control ratio on glutamate plus malate respiration. In rat and beef heart mitochondrial fractions containing an external NADH respiration: (i) ethoxyformic anhydride used previously to distinguish internal and external NADH oxidation was shown not to be specific; (ii) external NADH-linked respiration (although associated to the normally functioning respiratory chain as was shown by the effects of classic respiratory inhibitors) did not lead to ADP phosphorylation while glutamate plus malate did; (iii) respiratory activity on glutamate plus malate and external NADH was totally additive and the oxidation corresponded to two separate cytochrome oxidase pools, indicating a total functional separation between the two respiratory systems; (iv) NAD+ addition stimulated states 3 and 4 glutamate plus malate respiration to the same extent, indicating the presence of an appreciable number of internal dehydrogenases accessible to external cofactors. These results show that external NADH-linked dehydrogenase activity, which is usually detectable in mammal heart mitochondrial fractions, is of artefactual origin.

Iron catalyzed free radical formation and lipid peroxidation are accepted mechanisms of heme protein-induced acute renal failure. However, the source(s) of those free radicals which trigger lipid peroxidation in proximal tubular cells remains unknown. This study tested the potential involvement of mitochondrial electron transport, xanthine oxidase activity, and arachidonic acid metabolism in the heme-induced peroxidative state. The impact of cytosolic Ca2+ loading also was assessed. Rhabdomyolysis was induced in mice by glycerol injection, and two hours later heme-laden proximal tubular segments (PTS) were isolated for study. PTS from normal mice served as controls. During 30 to 60 minute incubations, heme loaded PTS developed progressive cytotoxicity (LDH release) and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA, generation; inhibited by deferoxamine). Site 2 (antimycin A) or site 3 (cyanide, hypoxia) mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibition completely blocked lipid peroxidation, whereas site 1 inhibition (rotenone) doubled its extent (presumably by shunting NADH through NADH dehydrogenase, a free radical generating system). Conversely, these agents did not substantially alter MDA in normal PTS. Normal and heme loaded PTS developed comparable degrees of LDH release during respiratory blockade irrespective of increased or decreased MDA production (indicating that lipid peroxidation was not a critical determinant of cell death). Neither increasing free arachidonic acid (PLA2 treatment) nor adding cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase/cytochrome p450 inhibitors conferred a consistent protective effect. Altering free Ca2+ status (chelators; ionophore addition) and xanthine oxidase inhibition had no discernible impacts. Despite mitochondrial free radical production, mitochondrial function, as assessed by the ATP/ADP ratio, seemingly remained intact. In conclusion, (1) the terminal mitochondrial respiratory chain is the dominant source of free radicals which trigger PTS lipid peroxidation; (2) iron is a required secondary factor; (3) although mitochondria fuel lipid peroxidation, they do not appear to be critical targets of the heme-induced oxidant attack.

Detailed respiration studies on isolated liver mitochondria from streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats revealed a disease-associated decrease in the ADP/O ratio, a marker for mitochondrial ability to couple the consumption of oxygen to the phosphorylation of ADP. This decrease was observed following induction of respiration with glutamate/malate, succinate, or duroquinol, which enter the electron transport chain selectively at complexes I (NADH dehydrogenase), II (succinate dehydrogenase), or III (cytochrome bc1 complex), respectively. These data, coupled with studies using respiratory inhibitors (most importantly antimycin A and myxothiazol), localize at least a portion of this defect to a single site within the electron transport chain (center P in the Q-cycle portion of complex III). These results suggest that liver mitochondria from diabetic animals may generate increased levels of reactive oxygen species at the portion of the electron transport chain already established as the major site of mitochondrial free radical generation. The reduction in the ADP/O ratio occurred in mitochondria that do not have overt defects in the respiratory control ratio or in State 3 and State 4 respiration. The data in this paper suggest that defects in center P of the electron transport chain likely increase mitochondrial exposure to oxidants in the diabetic. This data may partially explain the evidence of altered exposure and/or response to reactive species in mitochondria from diabetics. This work thus provides further clues to the interaction between oxidative stress and diabetes-associated mitochondrial dysfunction.

In this work, we first compared yeast mitochondrial oxidative metabolism at different levels of organization: whole cells (C), spheroplasts (S), permeabilized spheroplasts (PS) or isolated mitochondria (M). At present, S are more suitable for use than C for biochemical techniques such as fast extraction of metabolites and permeabilization. We show here that respiratory rates of S with various substrates are similar to C, which demonstrate that they are adapted to yeast bioenergetic studies. It appeared from ethanol metabolism +/- NAD+ or NADH respiratory rates on PS that ethanol metabolism was largely cytosolic; moreover, the activity of NADH dehydrogenase was lesser in the case of PS than in S. By comparing PS and M, the biggest difference concerned the respiratory rates of pyruvate and pyruvate-malate, which were much lower for M. Thus mitochondria preparation caused an unidentified loss involved directly in pyruvate metabolism. When the respiratory rate was lowered as a consequence of a high kinetic control of oxidative activity upstream from the respiratory chain, a similar correlation between the increase in ATP/O and decrease in respiratory rate was observed. So, the intrinsic uncoupling of proton pumps is not a particularity of M. Secondly, we demonstrate the existence of a mechanism of retarded diffusion in yeast similar to that already observed in permeabilized mammalian cells for ADP. Such a mechanism also occurs in yeast for several respiratory substrates: the K0.5 for each substrate toward the respiration rate in PS always exceeds that for M. It is proposed that such a discrepancy is due to a restriction of metabolite movement across the outer mitochondrial membrane in permeabilized cells, i.e. regulation of the substrate permeability through porin channels. In the porin-deficient yeast mutant, the K0.5 for NADH is not significantly different in either M or PS and is comparable to that of the parent strain PS. This result confirms that this retarded diffusion is essentially due to the opening-closing of the porin channel.

In contrast to the mitochondrial proton-translocating NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (complex I), which consists of at least 43 different subunits, the internal rotenone-insensitive NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (Ndi1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single polypeptide enzyme. The NDI1 gene was stably transfected into the human embryonal kidney 293 (HEK 293) cells. The transfected NDI1 gene was then transcribed and translated in the HEK 293 cells to produce the functional enzyme. The immunochemical and immunofluorescence analyses indicated that the expressed Ndi1 polypeptide was located to the inner mitochondrial membranes. The expression of Ndi1 did not alter the content of existing complex I in the HEK 293 mitochondria, suggesting that the expressed Ndi1 enzyme does not displace the endogenous complex I. The NADH oxidase activity of the NDI1-transfected HEK 293 cells was not affected by rotenone but was inhibited by flavone. The ADP/O ratios coupled to NADH oxidation were lowered from 2.4 to 1.8 by NDI1-transfection while the ADP/O ratios coupled to succinate oxidation (1.6) were not changed. The NDI1-transfected HEK 293 cells were able to grow in media containing a complex I inhibitor such as rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion. The potential usefulness of incorporating the Ndi1 protein into mitochondria of human cells is discussed.

The mechanism of Cr(VI)-induced toxicity in plants and animals has been assessed for mitochondrial bioenergetics and membrane damage in turnip root and rat liver mitochondria. By using succinate as the respiratory substrate, ADP/O and respiratory control ratio (RCR) were depressed as a function of Cr(VI) concentration. State 3 and uncoupled respiration were also depressed by Cr(VI). Rat mitochondria revealed a higher sensitivity to Cr(VI), as compared to turnip mitochondria. Rat mitochondrial state 4 respiration rate triplicated in contrast to negligible stimulation of turnip state 4 respiration. Chromium(VI) inhibited the activity of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from rat liver mitochondria and succinate-dehydrogenases (complex II) from plant and animal mitochondria. In rat liver mitochondria, complex I was more sensitive to Cr(VI) than complex II. The activity of cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) was not sensitive to Cr(VI). Unique for plant mitochondria, exogenous NADH uncoupled respiration was unaffected by Cr(VI), indicating that the NADH dehydrogenase of the outer leaflet of the plant inner membrane, in addition to complexes III and IV, were insensitive to Cr(VI). The ATPase activity (complex V) was stimulated in rat liver mitochondria, but inhibited in turnip root mitochondria. In both, turnip and rat mitochondria, Cr(VI) depressed mitochondrial succinate-dependent transmembrane potential (Deltapsi) and phosphorylation efficiency, but it neither affected mitochondrial membrane permeabilization to protons (H+) nor induced membrane lipid peroxidation. However, Cr(VI) induced mitochondrial membrane permeabilization to K+, an effect that was more pronounced in turnip root than in rat liver mitochondria. In conclusion, Cr(VI)-induced perturbations of mitochondrial bioenergetics compromises energy-dependent biochemical processes and, therefore, may contribute to the basal mechanism underlying its toxic effects in plant and animal cells.
