Nimesulide, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug containing a nitroaromatic moiety, has been associated with rare but serious hepatic adverse effects. The mechanisms underlying this idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity are unknown; however, both mitochondrial injury and oxidative stress have been implicated in contributing to liver injury in susceptible patients. The aim of this study was,...
Synthetic analogs of 1,4-anthraquinone (AQ code number), which block nucleoside transport, decrease DNA, RNA and protein syntheses, trigger cytochrome c release without caspase activation, induce apoptotic DNA fragmentation and inhibit the proliferation of wild-type and multidrug resistant tumor cells in the nM range in vitro, rapidly cause the collapse of mitochondrial transmembrane potential ...
Opening of the MPT (mitochondrial permeability transition) pore is a critical event in mitochondrial-mediated cell death. However, with the exception of CypD (cyclophilin D), the exact molecular composition of the MPT pore remains uncertain. C1qbp (complement 1q-binding protein) has recently been hypothesized to be an essential component of the MPT pore complex. To investigate whether C1qbp ind...
IT IS HAS BEEN OVER TWO DECADES since Murry and colleagues (15) published their seminal study describing ischemic preconditioning, a phenomenon whereby brief antecedent periods of ischemia-reperfusion profoundly protect the heart against a subsequent lethal period of ischemia and reperfusion. This intrinsic cardioprotective mechanism has been demonstrated in every animal tested, including human...
Mitochondria are fascinating organelles, which fulfill multiple cellular functions, as diverse as energy production, fatty acid β oxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and detoxification, and cell death regulation. The coordination of these functions relies on autonomous mitochondrial processes as well as on sustained cross-talk with other organelles and/or the cytosol. Therefore,...
Mitochondrial oxidative stress followed by membrane permeability transition (MPT) has been considered as a possible mechanism for statins cytotoxicity. Statins use has been associated with reduced risk of cancer incidence, especially prostate cancer. Here we investigated the pathways leading to simvastatin-induced prostate cancer cell death as well as the mechanisms of cell death protection by ...
The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) mediates hepatic necrosis after ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Here, we studied the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) in MPT-induced liver injury. Wildtype (WT) and JNK2 knockout (KO) mice underwent 70% liver ischemia for 1 hr followed by reperfusion for 8 hr, after which hepatocyte injury and animal survival was assessed. Compared with WT...
The electron transport chain of mitochondria is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play a critical role in augmenting the Ca(2+)-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Mitochondrial release of superoxide anions (O(2)(-)) from the intermembrane space (IMS) to the cytosol is mediated by voltage dependent anion channels (VDAC) in the outer membrane. Here, we exami...
Acute ethanol exposure induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in primary rat hepatocytes. Previous data indicate that the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is essential for ethanol-induced apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which ethanol induces the MPT remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of Bax, a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, in acute ethanol-induced hepa...
NO or its derivatives (reactive nitrogen species: RNS) have three types of actions on mitochondria: 1) reversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration at cytochrome oxidase by NO, and irreversible inhibition at multiple sites by RNS; 2) stimulation of mitochondrial production of superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxynitrite by NO; and 3) induction of mitochondrial permeability transition ...
