Abstract
A serious consequence of ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) is oxidative damage leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. Such I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is observed as impaired state 3 respiration and overproduction of O2-. The cascading ROS can propagate cysteine oxidation on mitochondrial complex I and add insult to injury. Herein we employed LC-MS/MS to identify protein sulfonation of complex I in mitochondria from the infarct region of rat hearts subjected to 30-min of coronary ligation and 24-h of reperfusion in vivo as well as the mitochondria of sham controls. Mitochondrial preparations from the I/R regions had enhanced sulfonation levels on the cysteine ligands of iron‑sulfur clusters, including N3 (C425), N1b (C92), N4 (C226), N2 (C158/C188), and N1a (C134/C139). The 4Fe-4S centers of N3, N1b, N4, and N2 are key redox-active components of complex I, thus sulfonation of metal-binding sites impaired the main electron transfer pathway. The binuclear N1a has a very low redox potential and an antioxidative function. Increased C134/C139 sulfonation by I/R impaired the N1a cluster, potentially contributing to overall O2- generation by the FMN moiety of complex I. MS analysis also revealed I/R-mediated increased sulfonation at the core subunits of 51 kDa (C125, C187, C206, C238, C255, C286), 75 kDa (C367, C554, C564, C727), 49 kDa (C146, C326, C347), and PSST (C188). These results were consistent with the consensus indicating that 51 kDa and 75 kDa are two of major subunits hosting regulatory thiols, and their enhanced sulfonation by I/R predisposed the myocardium to further oxidant stress with impaired ubiquinone reduction. MS analysis further showed I/R-mediated enhanced sulfonation at the supernumerary subunits of 42 kDa (C67, C112, C183, C253), 15 kDa (C43), and 13 kDa (C79). The 42 kDa protein is metazoan-specific, which was reported to stabilize mammalian complex I. C43 of the 15 kDa subunit forms an intramolecular disulfide bond with C56, which was reported to stabilize complex I structure. C79 of the 13 kDa subunit is involved in Zn2+-binding, which was reported functionally important for complex I assembly. C79 sulfonation by I/R was found to impair Zn2+-binding. No significant enhancement of protein sulfonation was observed in mitochondrial complex I from the rat heart subjected to 30-min ischemia alone in vivo despite a decreased state 3 respiration, suggesting that the physiologic conditions of hyperoxygenation during reperfusion mediated an increase in complex I sulfonation and oxidative injury. In conclusion, sulfonation of specific cysteines of complex I mediates I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction via impaired ETC activity, increasing •O2- production, and mediating redox dysfunction of complex I.

Basic Res Cardiol 2017; 112:36. [PMID: 28508960 DOI: 10.1007/s00395-017-0626-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2016] [Accepted: 05/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
The mitochondrial electrochemical gradient (Δp), which comprises the pH gradient (ΔpH) and the membrane potential (ΔΨ), is crucial in controlling energy transduction. During myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (IR), mitochondrial dysfunction mediates superoxide (·O2-) and H2O2 overproduction leading to oxidative injury. However, the role of ΔpH and ΔΨ in post-ischemic injury is not fully established. Here we studied mitochondria from the risk region of rat hearts subjected to 30 min of coronary ligation and 24 h of reperfusion in vivo. In the presence of glutamate, malate and ADP, normal mitochondria (mitochondria of non-ischemic region, NR) exhibited a heightened state 3 oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and reduced ·O2- and H2O2 production when compared to state 2 conditions. Oligomycin (increases ΔpH by inhibiting ATP synthase) increased ·O2- and H2O2 production in normal mitochondria, but not significantly in the mitochondria of the risk region (IR mitochondria or post-ischemic mitochondria), indicating that normal mitochondrial ·O2- and H2O2 generation is dependent on ΔpH and that IR impaired the ΔpH of normal mitochondria. Conversely, nigericin (dissipates ΔpH) dramatically reduced ·O2- and H2O2 generation by normal mitochondria under state 4 conditions, and this nigericin quenching effect was less pronounced in IR mitochondria. Nigericin also increased mitochondrial OCR, and predisposed normal mitochondria to a more oxidized redox status assessed by increased oxidation of cyclic hydroxylamine, CM-H. IR mitochondria, although more oxidized than normal mitochondria, were not responsive to nigericin-induced CM-H oxidation, which is consistent with the result that IR induced ΔpH impairment in normal mitochondria. Valinomycin, a K+ ionophore used to dissipate ΔΨ, drastically diminished ·O2- and H2O2 generation by normal mitochondria, but less pronounced effect on IR mitochondria under state 4 conditions, indicating that ΔΨ also contributed to ·O2- generation by normal mitochondria and that IR mediated ΔΨ impairment. However, there was no significant difference in valinomycin-induced CM-H oxidation between normal and IR mitochondria. In conclusion, under normal conditions the proton backpressure imposed by ΔpH restricts electron flow, controls a limited amount of ·O2- generation, and results in a more reduced myocardium; however, IR causes ΔpH impairment and prompts a more oxidized myocardium.

Abstract
Mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is the major source of reactive oxygen species during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Ischemic defect and reperfusion-induced injury to ETC are critical in the disease pathogenesis of postischemic heart. The properties of ETC were investigated in an isolated heart model of global I/R. Rat hearts were subjected to ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 1 h. Studies of mitochondrial function indicated a biphasic modulation of electron transfer activity (ETA) and ETC protein expression during I/R. Analysis of ETAs in the isolated mitochondria indicated that complexes I, II, III, and IV activities were diminished after 30 min of ischemia but increased upon restoration of flow. Immunoblotting analysis and ultrastructural analysis with transmission electron microscopy further revealed marked downregulation of ETC in the ischemic heart and then upregulation of ETC upon reperfusion. No significant difference in the mRNA expression level of ETC was detected between ischemic and postischemic hearts. However, reperfusion-induced ETC biosynthesis in myocardium can be inhibited by cycloheximide, indicating the involvement of translational control. Immunoblotting analysis of tissue homogenates revealed a similar profile in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α expression, suggesting its essential role as an upstream regulator in controlling ETC biosynthesis during I/R. Significant impairment caused by ischemic and postischemic injury was observed in the complexes I- III. Analysis of NADH ferricyanide reductase activity indicated that injury of flavoprotein subcomplex accounts for 50% decline of intact complex I activity from ischemic heart. Taken together, our findings provide a new insight into the molecular mechanism of I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Mitochondrial superoxide (O2.) is an important mediator of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The O2. generated in mitochondria also acts as a redox signal triggering cellular apoptosis. The enzyme succinate ubiquinone reductase (SQR or complex II) is one of the major mitochondrial components hosting regulatory thiols. Here the intrinsic protein S-glutathionylation (PrSSG) at the 70-kDa FAD-binding subunit of SQR was detected in rat heart and in isolated SQR using an anti-GSH monoclonal antibody. When rats were subjected to 30 min of coronary ligation followed by 24 h of reperfusion, the electron transfer activity (ETA) of SQR in post-ischemic myocardium was significantly decreased by 41.5 +/- 2.9%. The PrSSGs of SQR-70 kDa were partially or completely eliminated in post-ischemic myocardium obtained from in vivo regional I/R hearts or isolated global I/R hearts, respectively. These results were further confirmed by using isolated succinate cytochrome c reductase (complex II + complex III). In the presence of succinate, O2. was generated and oxidized the SQR portion of SCR, leading to a 60-70% decrease in its ETA. The gel band of the S-glutathionylated SQR 70-kDa polypeptide was cut out and digested with trypsin, and the digests were subjected to liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry analysis. One cysteine residue, Cys(90), was involved in S-glutathionylation. These results indicate that the glutathione-binding domain, (77)AAFGLSEAGFNTACVTK(93) (where underline indicates Cys(90)), is susceptible to redox change induced by oxidative stress. Furthermore, in vitro S-glutathionylation of purified SQR resulted in enhanced SQR-derived electron transfer efficiency and decreased formation of the 70-kDa-derived protein thiyl radical induced by O2. . Thus, the decreasing S-glutathionylation and ETA in mitochondrial complex II are marked during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. This redox-triggered impairment of complex II occurs in the post-ischemic heart and should be useful to identify disease pathogenesis related to reactive oxygen species-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ca(2+) overload leads to mitochondrial uncoupling, decreased ATP synthesis, and myocardial dysfunction. Pharmacologically opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels decreases mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, improving mitochondrial function during Ca(2+) overload. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), by activating mitochondrial K(ATP) channels, may attenuate mitochondrial Ca(2+) overload and improve mitochondrial function during reperfusion. The purpose of these experiments was to study the effect of IPC (1) on mitochondrial function and (2) on mitochondrial tolerance to experimental Ca(2+) overload. METHODS Rat hearts (n = 6/group) were subjected to (a) 30 min of equilibration, 25 min of ischemia, and 30 min of reperfusion (Control) or (b) two 5-min episodes of ischemic preconditioning, 25 min of ischemia, and 30 min of reperfusion (IPC). Developed pressure (DP) was measured. Heart mitochondria were isolated at end-Equilibration (end-EQ) and at end-Reperfusion (end-RP). Mitochondrial respiratory function (state 2, oxygen consumption with substrate only; state 3, oxygen consumption stimulated by ADP; state 4, oxygen consumption after cessation of ADP phosphorylation; respiratory control index (RCI, state 3/state 4); rate of oxidative phosphorylation (ADP/Deltat), and ADP:O ratio) was measured with polarography using alpha-ketoglutarate as a substrate in the presence of different Ca(2+) concentrations (0 to 5 x 10(-7) M) to simulate Ca(2+) overload. RESULTS IPC improved DP at end-RP. IPC did not improve preischemic mitochondrial respiratory function or preischemic mitochondrial response to Ca(2+) loading. IPC improved state 3, ADP/Deltat, and RCI during RP. Low Ca(2+) levels (0.5 and 1 x 10(-7) M) stimulated mitochondrial function in both groups predominantly in IPC. The Control group showed evidence of mitochondrial uncoupling at lower Ca(2+) concentrations (1 x 10(-7) M). IPC preserved state 3 at high Ca(2+) concentrations. CONCLUSIONS The cardioprotective effect of IPC results, in part, from preserving mitochondrial function during reperfusion and increasing mitochondrial tolerance to Ca(2+) loading at end-RP. Activation of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels by IPC and their improvement in Ca(2+) homeostasis during RP may be the mechanism underlying this protection.

Abstract
Background. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects the myocardium from ischemia reperfusion injury. The effect of IPC on the mitochondria is not well known. However, one of the mechanisms postulated in IPC (the opening of the mitochondrial K(ATP) channels) is likely to result in changes in mitochondrial function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of IPC on mitochondrial function during ischemia reperfusion. Methods. Isolated rat hearts (n = 6/group) were subjected to (1) 30 minutes of equilibration, 25 minutes of ischemia, and 30 minutes of reperfusion (RP) (control group) or (2) 10 minutes of equilibration, two-5 minute episodes of IPC (each followed by 5 minutes of re-equilibration), 25 minutes of ischemia, and 30 minutes of RP (IPC group). Left ventricular rate pressure product (RPP) was measured. At end-equilibration (end-EQ) and at end-reperfusion (end-RP) mitochondria were isolated. Mitochondrial respiratory function (state 2, 3, and 4), respiratory control index (RCI), rate of oxidative phosphorylation (ADP/Delta t), and ADP:O ratio were measured by polarography with the use of NADH- or FADH-dependent substrates. Results. IPC improved recovery of RPP at end-RP (72% +/- 5% in IPC vs 30% +/- 4% in control, P <.05). Ischemia reperfusion (IR) decreased state 3, ADP/Delta t, and RCI in both groups compared with end-EQ. IPC improved state 3 (47 +/- 3 in IPC vs 37 +/- 2 ng-atoms O/min/mg protein in control), ADP/Delta t (17 +/- 1 in IPC vs 13 +/- 1 nmol/s/mg protein in control), and RCI (3.7 +/- 0.1 in IPC vs 2.1 +/- 0.2 in control) at end-RP compared with control with the use of NADH-dependent substrate (P <.05 vs control). IPC also improved state 3 (85 +/- 6 in IPC vs 71 +/- 4 ng-atoms O/min/mg protein in control), ADP/Delta t (18 +/- 2 in IPC vs 12 +/- 1 nmol/s/mg protein in control), RCI (2 +/- 0.1 in IPC vs 1.5 +/- 0.1 in control), and ADP:O ratios (1.4 +/- 0.04 in IPC vs 1.7 +/- 0.09 in control) at end-RP compared with control with the use of FADH-dependent substrate (P <.05 vs control). Conclusions. The cardioprotective effects of IPC can be attributed at least in part to the preservation of mitochondrial function during reperfusion.

Abstract
Bcl-2 family proteins play a crucial role in the cytoprotective action of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) by regulating cell death signaling at the mitochondrial level. The present study examined the effect of IGF-I on the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins in the rat heart mitochondria in relation to myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Systemic IGF-I (1 mg) treatment in the rat increased Bcl-xL and attenuated Bax 12-24 h later in the heart mitochondria fraction. Permeability transition and cytochrome c release occurred in a Ca(2+) concentration-dependent manner in the vehicle-treated mitochondria. This was significantly inhibited by the IGF-I-pretreatment. Moreover, ATP synthesis was significantly greater in the IGF-I-pretreated mitochondria. IGF-I pretreatment 24 h before 25 min of global ischemia in the isolated rat heart model significantly improved recovery of isovolumic left ventricular function and inhibited creatine kinase release during reperfusion. This was associated with a significantly less number of terminal transferase labeling-positive myocytes and nonmyocytes 2 h after reperfusion. These results suggest that IGF-1 differentially regulates Bcl-xL and Bax in heart mitochondria, which may be causally related to myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects myocardium from ischemia reperfusion injury by activating mitochondrial K(ATP) channels. However, the mechanism underlying the protective effect of K(ATP) channel activation has not been elucidated. It has been suggested that activation of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels may prevent mitochondrial dysfunction associated with Ca(2+) overload during reperfusion. The purpose of this experiment was to study, in an isolated mitochondrial preparation, the effects of mitochondrial K(ATP) channel opening on mitochondrial function and to determine whether it protects mitochondria form Ca(2+) overload. Mitochondria (mito) were isolated from rat hearts by differential centrifugation (n = 5/group). Mito respiratory function was measured by polarography without (CONTROL) or with a potassium channel opener (PINACIDIL, 100 microM). Different Ca(2+) concentrations (0 to 5 x 10(-7) M) were used to simulate the effect of Ca(2+) overload; state 2, mito oxygen consumption with substrate only; state 3, oxygen consumption stimulated by ADP; state 4, oxygen consumption after cessation of ADP phosphorylation; respiratory control index (RCI: ratio of state 3 to state 4); rate of oxidative phosphorylation (ADP/Deltat); and ADP:O ratio were measured. PINACIDIL increased state 2 respiration and decreased RCI compared to CONTROL. Low Ca(2+) concentrations stimulated state 2 and state 4 respiration and decreased RCI and ADP:O ratios. High Ca(2+) concentrations increased state 2 and state 4 respiration and further decreased RCI, state 3, and ADP/Deltat. PINACIDIL improved state 3, ADP/Deltat, and RCI at high Ca(2+) concentrations compared to CONTROL. Pinacidil depolarized inner mitochondrial membrane, as evidenced by decreased RCI and increased state 2 at baseline. Depolarization may decrease Ca(2+) influx into mito, protecting mito from Ca(2+) overload, as evidenced by improved state 3 and RCI at high Ca(2+) concentrations. The myocardial protective effects resulting from activating K(ATP) channels either pharmacologically or by IPC may be the result of protecting mito from Ca(2+) overload.
