Oxygen-dependent reversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by nitric oxide.

چکیده
Effects of nitric oxide (NO) and NO generating agents, on the electron transport system of mitochondria were examined in a study of the mechanism and physiological importance of NO in energy metabolism. In the presence of various substrates, uncoupled respiration was inhibited by NO in manner which was both dose- and oxygen tension-dependent. Simultaneously measuring changes in cytochrome absorption spectra and respiration showed that the site of action of NO is cytochrome oxidase. Similar inhibition was also brought about by 1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3,3-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1-triazene (NOC 18), an NO donor. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that inhibition of uncoupled respiration occurred only during the presence of NO in the reaction mixture. The inhibitory effect of NO was increased significantly by lowering the concentration of mitochondrial protein. No appreciable inhibition of respiration was observed in the presence of 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1), a peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) generating reagent, but inhibition did occur in the presence of superoxide dismutase (SOD). These results indicate that NO reversibly interacts with mitochondria at complex IV thereby inhibiting respiration particularly under physiologically low oxygen tension and that de novo generated ONOO may have no significant effect under the present experimental conditions.

Differential inhibitory action of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite on mitochondrial electron transport.
Various authors have suggested that nitric oxide (.NO) exerts cytotoxic effects through the inhibition of cellular respiration. Indeed, in intact cells .NO inhibits glutamate-malate (complex I) as well as succinate (complex II)-supported mitochondrial electron transport, without affecting TMPD/ascorbate (complex IV)-dependent respiration. However, experiments in our lab using isolated rat heart...
متن کاملNo-and Co-mediated Inhibition of Mitochondrial Respiration in Activated Macrophages
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signalling molecule that is synthesised by nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) and has a variety of physiological and pathophysiological roles. Some of its physiological functions are primarily mediated via the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase. However, NO is also able to potently inhibit mitochondrial respiration at complex IV of the electron transport chain (ET...
متن کاملInvolvement of Cytochrome P-450 in n-Butyl Nitrite-Induced Hepatocyte Cytotoxicity
Addition of n-butyl nitrite to isolated rat hepatocytes caused an immediate glutathione depletion followed by an inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, inhi- bition of glycolysis and ATP depletion. At cytotoxic butyl nitrite concentrations, lipid peroxidation occurred before the plasma membrane was disrupted. Cytochrome P-450 inhibitors inhibited peroxynitrite formation and prev...
متن کاملContinuous exposure to high concentrations of nitric oxide leads to persistent inhibition of oxygen consumption by J774 cells as well as extraction of oxygen by the extracellular medium.
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in many physiological and pathophysiological events, including the control of cell respiration. Both reversible and irreversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration have been reported following the generation of NO by cells. We have exposed the murine macrophage cell line J774 to high concentrations of NO, such as are generated in some pathological conditi...
متن کاملRapid reduction of nitric oxide by mitochondria, and reversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide (NO) inhibited the respiration rate of mitochondria isolated from rat heart at sub-micromolar concentrations of NO. The inhibition was rapidly and completely reversible, indicating that NO does not damage mitochondria. The sensitivity of respiration to NO depended on the oxygen concentration, substrate type and respiratory state of the mitochondria, consistent with NO competing wit...
