Mechanism(s) of altered mitochondrial calcium transport in acutely ischemic canine hearts.

چکیده
Studies were undertaken to determine the mechanisms leading to altered mitochondrial function in ischemic myocardium. A new procedure has been developed to routinely isolate 60-70% of the total mitochondrial protein from heart tissue. After 1 hour of ischemia, mitochondria exhibit decreases of more than 50% in phosphorylating respiration for both NADH- and succinate-linked substrates compared to controls. However, no significant decreases in the efficiency of mitochondrial ATP synthesis (ADP:0) or ATPase activity are observed. Rates of substrate-driven Ca2+ uptake exhibit decreases greater than that seen with phosphorylating respiration with incomplete uptake and premature release of Ca2+. Spectrophotometric measurements in ischemic heart reveal rapid oxidation or loss of mitochondrial NADH with marked "swelling" of the inner membrane compartment; both changes parallel the loss of Ca2+. Significant losses in intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides also are found. Mitochondrial retention of accumulated Ca2+ can be restored by addition of small amounts of exogenous adenine nucleotides (ATP or ADP) with concomitant attenuation of both NADH oxidation and "swelling." The data indicate that, following 1 hour of ischemia, the efficiency of mitochondrial ATP production is still relatively intact whereas both electron transport chain activity and calcium transport are severely compromised. These decreases appear to be related to selective membrane damage in the mitochondrial inner membrane.

The Effect of Verapamil Administred before the Reperfusion Insult in Isolated Preconditioned Rat Heart on the Microsomal ATPase and Mitochondrial Enzyme Activities
Background: Calcium overload and free radical mediated damage in the mitochondria is the most important pathological changes associated with myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury. The verapamil post-treatment has been previously reported to prevent reperfusion-induced myocardial injury but functional recovery may be delayed due to the drug's inherent direct myocardial depression effect. In the...
متن کاملPreconditioning results in S-nitrosylation of proteins involved in regulation of mitochondrial energetics and calcium transport.
Nitric oxide has been shown to be an important signaling messenger in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Accordingly, we investigated whether protein S-nitrosylation occurs in IPC hearts and whether S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) elicits similar effects on S-nitrosylation and cardioprotection. Preceding 20 minutes of no-flow ischemia and reperfusion, hearts from C57BL/6J mice were perfused in the Lan...
متن کاملCritical role of mitochondrial ROS is dependent on their site of production on the electron transport chain in ischemic heart.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation has been implicated in many pathologies including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This led to multiple studies on antioxidant therapies to treat cardiovascular diseases but paradoxically, results have so far been mixed as ROS production can be beneficial as a signaling mechanism and in cardiac protection via preconditioning interventions. We investiga...
متن کاملEnhanced gene expression of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger attenuates ischemic and hypoxic contractile dysfunction.
Enhanced gene expression of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger in failing hearts may be a compensatory mechanism to promote influx and efflux of Ca(2+), despite impairment of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). To explore this, we monitored intracellular calcium (Ca(i)(2+)) and cardiac function in mouse hearts engineered to overexpress the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger and subjected to ischemia and hypoxia, cond...
متن کاملEffect of losartan on NOX2 transcription following acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion
Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-2 (Nox2) is one of the predominant sources of ROS production during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and can be induced by angiotensin II. The evidence suggests that pharmacological blockers of renin-angiotensin system can exert direct tissue effects independent of their ability to regulate blood pressure. The mechanism...
