Complex I dysfunction and tolerance to nitroglycerin: an approach based on mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants.

چکیده
Nitroglycerin (GTN) tolerance was induced in vivo (rats) and in vitro (rat and human vessels). Electrochemical detection revealed that the incubation dose of GTN (5x10(-6) mol/L) did not release NO or modify O(2) consumption when administered acutely. However, development of tolerance produced a decrease in both mitochondrial O(2) consumption and the K(m) for O(2) in animal and human vessels and endothelial cells in a noncompetitive action. GTN tolerance has been associated with impairment of GTN biotransformation through inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-2, and with uncoupling of mitochondrial respiration. Feeding rats with mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants (mitoquinone [MQ]) and in vitro coincubation with MQ (10(-6) mol/L) or glutathione (GSH) ester (10(-4) mol/L) prevented tolerance and the effects of GTN on mitochondrial respiration and ALDH-2 activity. Biotransformation of GTN requires functionally active mitochondria and induces reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress within this organelle, as it is inhibited by mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants and is absent in HUVECrho(0) cells. Experiments analyzing complex I-dependent respiration demonstrate that its inhibition by GTN is prevented by mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants. Furthermore, in presence of succinate (10x10(-3) mol/L), a complex II electron donor added to bypass complex I-dependent respiration, GTN-treated cells exhibited O(2) consumption rates similar to those of controls, thus suggesting that complex I was affected by GTN. We propose that, following prolonged treatment with GTN in addition to ALDH-2, complex I is a target for mitochondrially generated reactive oxygen species. Our data also suggest a role for mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants as therapeutic tools in the control of the tolerance that accompanies chronic nitrate use.

Evaluation of possible effects of crocin against nitrate tolerance and endothelial dysfunction
Objective(s): One of the most important problems of taking nitroglycerin is the nitrate tolerance phenomenon and endothelial dysfunction. Oxidative stress is a high-emphasized one of tolerance mechanisms. The possible effect of crocin, one of the anti-oxidant ingredients of saffron, on the nitrate tolerance model was investigated.Materials and Methods: I...
متن کاملCentral role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase and reactive oxygen species in nitroglycerin tolerance and cross-tolerance.
Recent studies suggest that mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH-2) plays a central role in the process of nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate, GTN) biotransformation in vivo and that its inhibition accounts for mechanism-based tolerance in vitro. The extent to which ALDH-2 contributes to GTN tolerance (impaired relaxation to GTN) and cross-tolerance (impaired endothelium-dependent relaxat...
متن کاملFunction of mitochondrial complex-I and -IV in normal human and Parkinson's disease cybrids
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the dopaminergic neurodegeneration, which characterizes Parkinson’s disease (PD). The activities of mitochondrial complexes I and IV were found to be reduced in the brains of PD patients (n = 4) as compared to age-matched controls (n = 4). This is tested in SH-SY5Y cell lines, transformed Rho0 cells, and in normal and PD cybrid cell lines. Cybrid...

متن کاملMitochondrial Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Protection by Beta-Glucan
Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...
