Adzigbli L, Ponsuksili S, Sokolova I. Mitochondrial responses to constant and cyclic hypoxia depend on the oxidized fuel in a hypoxia-tolerant marine bivalve Crassostrea gigas. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9658.

Abstract
Sessile benthic organisms like oysters inhabit the intertidal zone, subject to alternating hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) episodes during tidal movements, impacting respiratory chain activities and metabolome compositions. We investigated the effects of constant severe hypoxia (90 min at ~ 0% O2 ) followed by 10 min reoxygenation, and cyclic hypoxia (5 cycles of 15 min at ~ 0% O2 and 10 min reoxygenation) on isolated mitochondria from the gill and the digestive gland of Crassostrea gigas respiring on pyruvate, palmitate, or succinate. Constant hypoxia suppressed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), particularly during Complex I-linked substrates oxidation. It had no effect on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) efflux but increased fractional electron leak (FEL). In mitochondria oxidizing Complex I substrates, exposure to cyclic hypoxia prompted a significant drop after the first H/R cycle. In contrast, succinate-driven respiration only showed significant decline after the third to fifth H/R cycle. ROS efflux saw little change during cyclic hypoxia regardless of the oxidized substrate, but Complex I-driven FEL tended to increase with each subsequent H/R cycle. These observations suggest that succinate may serve as a beneficial stress fuel under H/R conditions, aiding in the post-hypoxic recovery of oysters by reducing oxidative stress and facilitating rapid ATP re-synthesis. The impacts of constant and cyclic hypoxia of similar duration on mitochondrial respiration and oxidative lesions in the proteins were comparable indicating that the mitochondrial damage is mostly determined by the lack of oxygen and mitochondrial depolarization. The ROS efflux in the mitochondria of oysters was minimally affected by oxygen fluctuations indicating that tight regulation of ROS production may contribute to robust mitochondrial phenotype of oysters and protect against H/R induced stress.

Tissue- and substrate-dependent mitochondrial responses to acute hypoxia-reoxygenation stress in a marine bivalve Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793). J Exp Biol 2021; 225:273950.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a major stressor for aquatic organisms, yet intertidal organisms like the oyster Crassostrea gigas are adapted to frequent oxygen fluctuations by metabolically adjusting to shifts in oxygen and substrate availability during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). We investigated the effects of acute H/R stress (15 min at ∼0% O2, and 10 min reoxygenation) on isolated mitochondria from the gill and the digestive gland of C. gigas respiring on different substrates (pyruvate, glutamate, succinate, palmitate and their mixtures). Gill mitochondria showed better capacity for amino acid and fatty acid oxidation compared to the mitochondria from the digestive gland. Mitochondrial responses to H/R stress strongly depended on the substrate and the activity state of mitochondria. In mitochondria oxidizing NADH-linked substrates exposure to H/R stress suppressed oxygen consumption and ROS generation in the resting state, whereas in the ADP-stimulated state, ROS production increased despite little change in respiration. As a result, electron leak (measured as H2O2 to O2 ratio) increased after H/R stress in the ADP-stimulated mitochondria with NADH-linked substrates. In contrast, H/R exposure stimulated succinate-driven respiration without an increase in electron leak. Reverse electron transport (RET) did not significantly contribute to succinate-driven ROS production in oyster mitochondria except for a slight increase in the OXPHOS state during post-hypoxic recovery. A decrease in NADH-driven respiration and ROS production, enhanced capacity for succinate oxidation and resistance to RET might assist in post-hypoxic recovery of oysters mitigating oxidative stress and supporting rapid ATP re-synthesis during oxygen fluctuations such as commonly observed in estuaries and intertidal zones.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important survival mechanism that allows recycling of nutrients and removal of damaged organelles and has been shown to contribute to the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. However, little is known about the mechanism by which autophagy- dependent AML cells can overcome dysfunctional autophagy. In our study we identified autophagy related protein 3 (ATG3) as a crucial autophagy gene for AML cell proliferation by conducting a CRISPR/Cas9 dropout screen with a library targeting around 200 autophagy-related genes. shRNA-mediated loss of ATG3 impaired autophagy function in AML cells and increased their mitochondrial activity and energy metabolism, as shown by elevated mitochondrial ROS generation and mitochondrial respiration. Using tracer-based NMR metabolomics analysis we further demonstrate that the loss of ATG3 resulted in an upregulation of glycolysis, lactate production, and oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, loss of ATG3 strongly sensitized AML cells to the inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism. These findings highlight the metabolic vulnerabilities that AML cells acquire from autophagy inhibition and support further exploration of combination therapies targeting autophagy and mitochondrial metabolism in AML.

Abstract
The biological mechanisms linking nutrition and antioxidants content of the diet with cardiovascular protection are subject of intense investigation. It has been demonstrated that dietary supplementation with cow, donkey or human milk, characterized by distinct nutritional properties, triggers significant differences in the metabolic and inflammatory status through the modulation of hepatic and skeletal muscle mitochondrial functions. Cardiac mitochondria play a key role for energy-demanding heart functions, and their disfunctions is leading to pathologies. Indeed, an altered heart mitochondrial function and the consequent increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory state, is linked to several cardiac diseases such as hypertension and heart failure. In this work it was investigated the impact of the milk consumption on heart mitochondrial functions, inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, it was underlined the crosstalk between mitochondrial metabolic flexibility, lipid storage and redox status as control mechanisms for the maintenance of cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Glial reactivity in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord is a hallmark in most chronic pain conditions. Neuroinflammation-associated reactive glia, in particular astrocytes, have been shown to exhibit reduced mitochondrial respiratory function. Here, we studied the mitochondrial function at the lumbar spinal cord tissue from complete Freund's adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain rat and chronic constriction injury mouse models by high-resolution respirometry. A significant decrease in mitochondrial bioenergetic parameters at the injury-related spinal cord level coincided with highest astrocytosis. Oral administration of dichloroacetate (DCA) significantly increased mitochondrial respiratory function by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and decreased glial fibrillary acidic protein and Iba-1 immunoreactivity in spinal cord. Importantly, DCA treatment significantly reduced the ipsilateral pain-related behavior without affecting contralateral sensitivity in both pain models. Our results indicate that mitochondrial metabolic modulation with DCA may offer an alternative therapeutic strategy to alleviate chronic and persistent inflammatory pain.

Abstract
To examine ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channels in mitochondria of rat hepatocytes and their role in energy state of the cells via investigation of the ryanodine effect on mitochondrial membrane potential. Oxygen consumption was measured by polarography using the Clark electrode. The substrates of oxidation such as pyruvate (5mM), α-ketoglutarate (5mM), or succinate (5mM) were used. Oxidative phosphorylation was stimulated by the addition of adenosine diphosphate (200nM). Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using a voltage-sensitive fluorescent probe tetramethylrhodamine-methyl-ester (0.1μM) and was analyzed by a flow cytometer. To evaluate the intact mitochondria, we used carbonil cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP, 10μM). Changes in the ionized calcium concentration in rat liver mitochondria were measured using a fluorescent probe Fluo-4 AM. Effect of ryanodine on oxygen consumption of rat liver mitochondria depends on the oxidation substrate and the incubation time. Oxidation of pyruvate in the presence of ryanodine (0.05μM) decreased the membrane potential of rat liver mitochondria by 38.4%. At higher concentrations, ryanodine (0.1μM or 1μM) led to decrease of membrane potential by 51.7% and 42.8%, respectively. In contrast, oxidation of α-ketoglutarate in the presence of ryanodine (0.05μM) increased mitochondrial membrane potential by 16.8%. However, at higher concentrations, ryanodine (0.1μM or 1μM) triggered a decreasing of membrane potential by 42.5% and 31.0%, respectively. Therefore, ryanodine at various concentrations (0.05μM, 0.1μM, or 1μM) causes differential effects on Ca2+ concentration in the mitochondria matrix under oxidation of pyruvate or α-ketoglutarate. The data suggest the presence of ryanodine receptors in mitochondrial membrane of rat hepatocytes. Their inhibition with higher concentrations of ryanodine leads to decreasing of intra-mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration and affecting the energy state of mictochondria in hepatocytes.

Abstract
The metabolism of benthic aquatic invertebrates, populating transitional water ecosystems, is influenced by both physiological and environmental factors, thus involving an adjustment of physiological processes which has a metabolic cost. In order to discover changes in metabolic pathways in response to specific factors, it's firstly necessary characterizing the principal cellular metabolic activities of the small benthic aquatic organisms. We approach here the bioenergetic state issue of two benthic organisms, i.e. Lekanesphaera monodi and Gammarus insensibilis, evidencing that no apparent and statistically significative differences between them in aerobic as well in glycolytic capacities are detected, except for COX activity.

Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) represents a group of idiopathic disorders characterized by chronic or recurring inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. While the exact etiology of disease is unknown, IBD is recognized to be a complex, multifactorial disease that results from an intricate interplay of genetic predisposition, an altered immune response, changes in the intestinal microbiota, and environmental factors. Together, these contribute to a destruction of the intestinal epithelial barrier, increased gut permeability, and an influx of immune cells. Given that most cellular functions as well as maintenance of the epithelial barrier is energy-dependent, it is logical to assume that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a key role in both the onset and recurrence of disease. Indeed several studies have demonstrated evidence of mitochondrial stress and alterations in mitochondrial function within the intestinal epithelium of patients with IBD and mice undergoing experimental colitis. Although the hallmarks of mitochondrial dysfunction, including oxidative stress and impaired ATP production are known to be evident in the intestines of patients with IBD, it is as yet unclear whether these processes occur as a cause of consequence of disease. We provide a current review of mitochondrial function in the setting of intestinal inflammation during IBD.

Abstract
It is known that Ca2+ and heavy metals more actively induce MPTP opening in mitochondria, energized by the I complex substrates. Thus, a rise in a Tl+-induced MPTP was proposed in experiments on isolated rat liver mitochondria energized by the complex I substrate (glutamate and malate). Expose of the mitochondria to Ca2+ into a medium containing TlNO3, glutamate, and malate as well as sucrose or KNO3 resulted in a decrease in state 3, state 4, or DNP-stimulated respiration as well as an increase of both mitochondrial swelling and ΔΨmito dissipation. The MPTP inhibitors, CsA and ADP, almost completely eliminated the effect of Ca2+, which was more pronounced in the presence of the complex I substrates than the complex II substrate (succinate) and rotenone (Korotkov and Saris, 2011). The present study concludes that Tl+-induced MPTP opening is more appreciable in mitochondria energized by glutamate and malate but not succinate in the presence of rotenone. We assume that the Tl+-induced MPTP opening along with followed swelling and possible structural deformations of the complex I in Ca2+-loaded mitochondria may be a part of the thallium toxicity mechanism on mitochondria in living organisms. At the same time, oxidation of Tl+ to Tl3+ by mitochondrial oxygen reactive species is proposed for the mechanism.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells contain a population of mitochondria, variable in number and shape, which in turn contain multiple copies of a tiny compact genome (mtDNA) whose expression and function is strictly coordinated with the nuclear one. mtDNA copy number varies between different cell or tissues types, both in response to overall metabolic and bioenergetics demands and as a consequence or cause of specific pathological conditions. Here we present a novel and reliable methodology to assess the effective mtDNA copy number per diploid genome by investigating off-target reads obtained by whole-exome sequencing (WES) experiments. We also investigate whether and how mtDNA copy number correlates with mitochondrial mass, respiratory activity and expression levels. Analyzing six different tissues from three age- and sex-matched human individuals, we found a highly significant linear correlation between mtDNA copy number estimated by qPCR and the frequency of mtDNA off target WES reads. Furthermore, mtDNA copy number showed highly significant correlation with mitochondrial gene expression levels as measured by RNA-Seq as well as with mitochondrial mass and respiratory activity. Our methodology makes thus feasible, at a large scale, the investigation of mtDNA copy number in diverse cell-types, tissues and pathological conditions or in response to specific treatments.

Abstract
Adaptation and transformation biology of the mitochondrion to redox status is an emerging domain of physiology and pathophysiology. Mitochondrial adaptations occur in response to accidental changes in cellular energy demand or supply while mitochondrial transformations are a part of greater program of cell metamorphosis. The possible role of mitochondrial adaptations and transformations in pathogenesis remains unexplored, and it has become critical to decipher the stimuli and the underlying molecular pathways. Immediate activation of mitochondrial function was described during acute exercise, respiratory chain injury, Endoplasmic Reticulum stress, genotoxic stress, or environmental toxic insults. Delayed adaptations of mitochondrial form, composition, and functions were evidenced for persistent changes in redox status as observed in endurance training, in fibroblasts grown in presence of respiratory chain inhibitors or in absence of glucose, in the smooth muscle of patients with severe asthma, or in the skeletal muscle of patients with a mitochondrial disease. Besides, mitochondrial transformations were observed in the course of human cell differentiation, during immune response activation, or in cells undergoing carcinogenesis. Little is known on the signals and downstream pathways that govern mitochondrial adaptations and transformations. Few adaptative loops, including redox sensors, kinases, and transcription factors were deciphered, but their implication in physiology and pathology remains elusive. Mitoplasticity could play a protective role against aging, diabetes, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases. Research on adaptation and transformation could allow the design of innovative therapies, notably in cancer.

Abstract
Cyclophilin D (cypD)-deficient mice exhibit resistance to focal cerebral ischemia and to necrotic but not apoptotic stimuli. To address this disparity, we investigated isolated brain and in situ neuronal and astrocytic mitochondria from cypD-deficient and wild-type mice. Isolated mitochondria were challenged by high Ca(2+), and the effects of substrates and respiratory chain inhibitors were evaluated on permeability transition pore opening by light scatter. In situ neuronal and astrocytic mitochondria were visualized by mito-DsRed2 targeting and challenged by calcimycin, and the effects of glucose, NaCN, and an uncoupler were evaluated by measuring mitochondrial volume. In isolated mitochondria, Ca(2+) caused a large cypD-dependent change in light scatter in the absence of substrates that was insensitive to Ruthenium red or Ru360. Uniporter inhibitors only partially affected the entry of free Ca(2+) in the matrix. Inhibition of complex III/IV negated the effect of substrates, but inhibition of complex I was protective. Mitochondria within neurons and astrocytes exhibited cypD-independent swelling that was dramatically hastened when NaCN and 2-deoxyglucose were present in a glucose-free medium during calcimycin treatment. In the presence of an uncoupler, cypD-deficient astrocytic mitochondria performed better than wild-type mitochondria, whereas the opposite was observed in neurons. Neuronal mitochondria were examined further during glutamate-induced delayed Ca(2+) deregulation. CypD-knock-out mitochondria exhibited an absence or a delay in the onset of mitochondrial swelling after glutamate application. Apparently, some conditions involving deenergization render cypD an important modulator of PTP in the brain. These findings could explain why absence of cypD protects against necrotic (deenergized mitochondria), but not apoptotic (energized mitochondria) stimuli.

Abstract
Each cell type develops and maintains a specific oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity to satisfy its metabolic and energetic demands. This implies that there are differences between tissues in mitochondrial number, function, protein composition and morphology. The OXPHOS system biogenesis requires the coordinated expression of both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) expression can be regulated at different levels (replication, transcription, translation and post-translational levels) to contribute to the final observed OXPHOS activities. By analyzing five mammalian tissues, we evaluated the differences in the cellular amount of mtDNA and its correlation with the final observed mitochondrial activity.

Abstract
With the extraordinary progress of mitochondrial science and cell biology, novel biochemical pathways have emerged as strategic points of bioenergetic regulation and control. They include mitochondrial fusion, fission and organellar motility along microtubules and microfilaments (mitochondrial dynamics), mitochondrial turnover (biogenesis and degradation), and mitochondrial phospholipids synthesis. Yet, much is still unknown about the mutual interaction between mitochondrial energy state, biogenesis, dynamics and degradation. Meanwhile, clinical research into metabolic abnormalities in tumors as diverse as renal carcinoma, glioblastomas, paragangliomas or skin leiomyomata, has designated new genes, oncogenes and oncometabolites involved in the regulation of cellular and mitochondrial energy production. Furthermore, the examination of rare neurological diseases such as Charcot-Marie Tooth type 2a, Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy, Lethal Defect of Mitochondrial and Peroxisomal Fission, or Spastic Paraplegia suggested involvement of MFN2, OPA1/3, DRP1 or Paraplegin, in the auxiliary control of mitochondrial energy production. Lastly, advances in the understanding of mitochondrial apoptosis have suggested a supplementary role for Bcl2 or Bax in the regulation of mitochondrial respiration and dynamics, which has fostered the investigation of alternative mechanisms of energy regulation. In this review, we discuss the regulatory mechanisms of cellular and mitochondrial energy production, and we emphasize the importance of the study of rare neurological diseases in addition to more common disorders such as cancer, for the fundamental understanding of cellular and mitochondrial energy production.

Abstract
The antidiabetic drug metformin can diminish apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in endothelial cells and prevent vascular dysfunction even in nondiabetic patients. Here we tested whether it has a beneficial effect in a rat model of gentamicin toxicity. Mitochondrial analysis, respiration intensity, levels of reactive oxygen species, permeability transition, and cytochrome c release were assessed 3 and 6 days after gentamicin administration. Metformin treatment fully blocked gentamicin-mediated acute renal failure. This was accompanied by a lower activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, together with a decrease of lipid peroxidation and increase of antioxidant systems. Metformin also protected the kidney from histological damage 6 days after gentamicin administration. These in vivo markers of kidney dysfunction and their correction by metformin were complemented by in vitro studies of mitochondrial function. We found that gentamicin treatment depleted respiratory components (cytochrome c, NADH), probably due to the opening of mitochondrial transition pores. These injuries, partly mediated by a rise in reactive oxygen species from the electron transfer chain, were significantly decreased by metformin. Thus, our study suggests that pleiotropic effects of metformin can lessen gentamicin nephrotoxicity and improve mitochondrial homeostasis.

Abstract
Besides its well recognized role in lipid and carbohydrate metabolisms, glycerol is involved in the regulation of cellular energy homeostasis via glycerol-3-phosphate, a key metabolite in the translocation of reducing power across the mitochondrial inner membrane with mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Here, we report a high rate of gluconeogenesis from glycerol and fatty acid oxidation in hepatocytes from Lou/C, a peculiar rat strain derived from Wistar, which is resistant to age- and diet-related obesity. This feature, associated with elevated cellular respiration and cytosolic ATP/ADP and NAD(+)/NADH ratios, was linked to a high expression and activity of mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Interestingly, this strain exhibited high expression and protein content of thyroid hormone receptor, whereas circulating thyroid hormone levels were slightly decreased and hepatic thyroid hormone carrier MCT-8 mRNA levels were not modified. We propose that an enhanced liver thyroid hormone receptor in Lou/C may explain its unique resistance to obesity by increasing fatty acid oxidation and lowering liver oxidative phosphorylation stoichiometry at the translocation of reducing power into mitochondria.

Abstract
The recently ascertained network and dynamic organization of the mitochondrion, as well as the demonstration of energy proteins and metabolites subcompartmentalization, have led to a reconsideration of the relationships between organellar form and function. In particular, the impact of mitochondrial morphological changes on bioenergetics is inseparable. Several observations indicate that mitochondrial energy production may be controlled by structural rearrangements of the organelle both interiorly and globally, including the remodeling of cristae morphology and elongation or fragmentation of the tubular network organization, respectively. These changes are mediated by fusion or fission reactions in response to physiological signals that remain unidentified. They lead to important changes in the internal diffusion of energy metabolites, the sequestration and conduction of the electric membrane potential (Delta Psi), and possibly the delivery of newly synthesized ATP to various cellular areas. Moreover, the physiological or even pathological context also determines the morphology of the mitochondrion, suggesting a tight and mutual control between mitochondrial form and bioenergetics. In this review, we delve into the link between mitochondrial structure and energy metabolism.

Abstract
AICA riboside (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside) has been extensively used in cells to activate the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a metabolic sensor involved in cell energy homoeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of AICA riboside on mitochondrial oxidative; phosphorylation. AICA riboside was found to dose-dependently inhibit the oligomycin-sensitive JO2 (oxygen consumption rate) of isolated rat hepatocytes. A decrease in P(i) (inorganic phosphate), ATP, AMP and total adenine nucleotide contents was also observed with AICA riboside concentrations >0.1 mM. Interestingly, in hepatocytes from mice lacking both alpha1 and alpha2 AMPK catalytic subunits, basal JO2 and expression of several mitochondrial proteins were significantly reduced compared with wild-type mice, suggesting that mitochondrial biogenesis was perturbed. However, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was still present in the mutant mice and thus was clearly not mediated by AMPK. In permeabilized hepatocytes, this inhibition was no longer evident, suggesting that it could be due to intracellular accumulation of Z nucleotides and/or loss of adenine nucleotides and P(i). ZMP did indeed inhibit respiration in isolated rat mitochondria through a direct effect on the respiratory-chain complex I. In addition, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was also potentiated in cells incubated with fructose to deplete adenine nucleotides and P(i). We conclude that AICA riboside inhibits cellular respiration by an AMPK-independent mechanism that likely results from the combined intracellular P(i) depletion and ZMP accumulation. Our data also demonstrate that the cellular effects of AICA riboside are not necessarily caused by AMPK activation and that their interpretation should be taken with caution.

Abstract
Mitochondria are critical for cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production; however, recent studies suggest that these organelles fulfill a much broader range of tasks. For example, they are involved in the regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) levels, intracellular pH and apoptosis, and are the major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Various reactive molecules that originate from mitochondria, such as ROS, are critical in pathological events, such as ischemia, as well as in physiological events such as long-term potentiation, neuronal-vascular coupling and neuronal-glial interactions. Due to their key roles in the regulation of several cellular functions, the dysfunction of mitochondria may be critical in various brain disorders. There has been increasing interest in the development of tools that modulate mitochondrial function, and the refinement of techniques that allow for real time monitoring of mitochondria, particularly within their intact cellular environment. Innovative imaging techniques are especially powerful since they allow for mitochondrial visualization at high resolution, tracking of mitochondrial structures and optical real time monitoring of parameters of mitochondrial function. The techniques discussed include classic imaging techniques, such as rhodamine-123, the highly advanced semi-conductor nanoparticles (quantum dots), and wide field microscopy as well as high-resolution multiphoton imaging. We have highlighted the use of these techniques to study mitochondrial function in brain tissue and have included studies from our laboratories in which these techniques have been successfully applied.

Abstract
Loss of neural input to skeletal muscle fibres induces atrophy and degeneration with evidence of mitochondria-mediated cell death. However, the effect of denervation on the permeability transition pore (PTP), a mitochondrial protein complex implicated in cell death, is uncertain. In the present study, the impact of 21 days of denervation on the sensitivity of the PTP to Ca2+-induced opening was studied in isolated muscle mitochondria. Muscle denervation increased the sensitivity to Ca2+-induced opening of the PTP, as indicated by a significant decrease in calcium retention capacity (CRC: 111 +/- 12 versus 475 +/- 33 nmol (mg protein)(-1) for denervated and sham, respectively). This phenomenon was partly attributable to in vivo mitochondrial and whole muscle Ca2+ overload. Cyclosporin A, which inhibits PTP opening by binding to cyclophilin D (CypD), was significantly more potent in mitochondria from denervated muscle and restored CRC to the level observed in mitochondria from sham-operated muscles. In contrast, the CypD independent inhibitor trifluoperazine was equally effective at inhibiting PTP opening in sham and denervated animals and did not correct the difference in CRC between groups. This phenomenon was associated with a significant increase in the content of the PTP regulating protein CypD relative to several mitochondrial marker proteins. Together, these results indicate that Ca2+ overload in vivo and an altered expression of CypD could predispose mitochondria to permeability transition in denervated muscles.

Abstract
To investigate the physiological diversity in the regulation and control of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, we determined the composition and functional features of the respiratory chain in muscle, heart, liver, kidney, and brain. First, we observed important variations in mitochondrial content and infrastructure via electron micrographs of the different tissue sections. Analyses of respiratory chain enzyme content by Western blot also showed large differences between tissues, in good correlation with the expression level of mitochondrial transcription factor A and the activity of citrate synthase. On the isolated mitochondria, we observed a conserved molar ratio between the respiratory chain complexes and a variable stoichiometry for coenzyme Q and cytochrome c, with typical values of [1-1.5]:[30-135]:[3]:[9-35]:[6.5-7.5] for complex II:coenzyme Q:complex III:cytochrome c:complex IV in the different tissues. The functional analysis revealed important differences in maximal velocities of respiratory chain complexes, with higher values in heart. However, calculation of the catalytic constants showed that brain contained the more active enzyme complexes. Hence, our study demonstrates that, in tissues, oxidative phosphorylation capacity is highly variable and diverse, as determined by different combinations of 1) the mitochondrial content, 2) the amount of respiratory chain complexes, and 3) their intrinsic activity. In all tissues, there was a large excess of enzyme capacity and intermediate substrate concentration, compared with what is required for state 3 respiration. To conclude, we submitted our data to a principal component analysis that revealed three groups of tissues: muscle and heart, brain, and liver and kidney.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether regular exercise (treadmill running, 10 wk) alters the susceptibility of rat isolated heart mitochondria to Ca2+-induced permeability transition pore (PTP) opening and whether this could be associated with changes in the modulation of PTP opening by selected physiological effectors. Basal leak-driven and ADP-stimulated respiration in the presence of substrates for complex I, II, and IV were not affected by training. Fluorimetric studies revealed that in the control and exercise-trained groups, the amount of Ca2+required to trigger PTP opening was greater in the presence of complex II vs. I substrates (230 ± 12 vs. 134 ± 7 nmol Ca2+/mg protein, P < 0.01; pooled average of control and trained groups). In addition, with a substrate feeding the complex II, training increased by 45% ( P < 0.01) the amount of Ca2+required to trigger PTP opening both in the presence and absence of the PTP inhibitor cyclosporin A. However, membrane potential, reactive oxygen species production, NAD(P)H ratio, and Ca2+uptake kinetics were not different in mitochondria from both groups. Together, these results suggest the existence of a substrate-specific regulation of the PTP in heart mitochondria and suggest that regular exercise results in a reduced sensitivity to Ca2+-induced PTP opening in presence of complex II substrates.

Abstract
Mitochondrial creatine kinase (MtCK), together with cytosolic creatine kinase isoenzymes and the highly diffusible CK reaction product, phosphocreatine, provide a temporal and spatial energy buffer to maintain cellular energy homeostasis. Mitochondrial proteolipid complexes containing MtCK form microcompartments that are involved in channeling energy in form of phosphocreatine rather than ATP into the cytosol. Under situations of compromised cellular energy state, which are often linked to ischemia, oxidative stress and calcium overload, two characteristics of mitochondrial creatine kinase are particularly relevant: its exquisite susceptibility to oxidative modifications and the compensatory up-regulation of its gene expression, in some cases leading to accumulation of crystalline MtCK inclusion bodies in mitochondria that are the clinical hallmarks for mitochondrial cytopathies. Both of these events may either impair or reinforce, respectively, the functions of mitochondrial MtCK complexes in cellular energy supply and protection of mitochondria form the so-called permeability transition leading to apoptosis or necrosis.

Abstract
Although nicotine has been associated with a decreased risk of developing Parkinson disease, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. By using isolated brain mitochondria, we found that nicotine inhibited N-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP(+)) and calcium-induced mitochondria high amplitude swelling and cytochrome c release from intact mitochondria. Intra-mitochondria redox state was also maintained by nicotine, which could be attributed to an attenuation of mitochondria permeability transition. Further investigation revealed that nicotine did not prevent MPP(+)- or calcium-induced mitochondria membrane potential loss, but instead decreased the electron leak at the site of respiratory chain complex I. In the presence of mecamylamine hydrochloride, a nonselective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor inhibitor, nicotine significantly postponed mitochondria swelling and cytochrome c release induced by a mixture of neurotoxins (MPP(+) and 6-hydroxydopamine) in SH-SY5Y cells, suggesting that there is a receptor-independent nicotine-mediated neuroprotective effect of nicotine. These results show that interaction of nicotine with mitochondria respiratory chain together with its antioxidant effects should be considered in the neuroprotective effects of nicotine.

Abstract
The initiating events that lead to the induction of apoptosis mediated by the chemopreventative agent beta-phenyethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) have yet to be elucidated. In the present investigation, we examined the effects of PEITC on mitochondrial function and apoptotic signaling in hepatoma HepG2 cells and isolated rat hepatocyte mitochondria. PEITC induced a conformational change in Bax leading to its translocation to mitochondria in HepG2 cells. Bax accumulation was associated with a rapid loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsim), impaired respiratory chain enzymatic activity, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c and the activation of caspase-dependent cell death. Caspase inhibition did not prevent Bax translocation, the release of cytochrome c or the loss of Deltapsim, but blocked caspase-mediated DNA fragmentation and cell death. To determine whether PEITC dependent Bax translocation caused loss of Deltapsim by the activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), we examined the effects of PEITC in isolated rat hepatocyte mitochondria. Interestingly, PEITC did not induce MPT in isolated rat mitochondria. Accordingly, using pharmacological inhibitors of MPT namely cyclosporine A, trifluoperazine and Bongkrekic acid we were unable to block PEITC mediated apoptosis in HepG2 cells, this suggesting that mitochondrial permeablisation is a likely consequence of Bax dependent pore formation. Taken together, our data suggest that mitochondria are a key target in PEITC induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells via the pore forming ability of pro-apoptotic Bax.

Abstract
A comparison of Cd2+ and Ca2+ effects on in vitro rat liver mitochondria function and a further study of their interaction were conducted. Similarity and distinction in action of rotenone, oligomycin, N-ethylmaleimide, dithiothreitol, catalase, dibucaine, ruthenium red, cyclosporin A (CsA), and ADP on Cd2+ and/or Ca2+-induced mitochondrial dysfunction were revealed. We found that rotenone exerted a strong protective action both against Ca2+ and Cd2+-produced mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP). In contrast to Ca2+, catalase and dibucaine did not influence on main Cd2+ effects. In NH4NO3 medium N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) at low concentrations increased markedly Cd2+-produced swelling of non-energized mitochondria, whereas it exhibited a partial reversal effect following energization. In sucrose medium low [NEM] did not change Cd2+-produced mitochondrial swelling. High [NEM] promoted synergistic increase of the Cd2+-produced swelling in NH4NO3 medium; all above effects were reversed (and prevented) by dithiothreitol, DTT. We shown also that when exogenous Ca2+ and Pi were simultaneously present in NH4NO3 medium, DTT reversed only partially Cd2+-produced swelling of succinate plus rotenone-energized mitochondria, while DTT recovery action was complete when either Ca2+ or Pi were separately administered to the Cd2+-treated mitochondria. Besides, DTT added following a low Cd2+ pulse in KCl medium containing exogenous Ca2+ induced a substantial enhancing of sustained Cd2+ stimulation of mitochondrial basal respiration and the stimulation was CsA-sensitive, while the activation promoted by low [Cd2+] alone was totally eliminated by DTT supplement. We observed the similar respiratory activation earlier when high concentrations of Cd2+ in the absence of added Ca2+ were used but it was completely CsA-insensitive. A possible involvement of respiratory chain components, namely complex I (P-site) and complex III (S-site) in Cd2+ and/or Ca2+-produced MMP was discussed.
