Abstract
VBIT-4 is a new inhibitor of the oligomerization of VDAC proteins of the outer mitochondrial membrane preventing the development of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death in various pathologies. However, as a VDAC inhibitor, VBIT-4 may itself cause mitochondrial dysfunction in healthy cells. The article examines the effect of VBIT-4 on the functional activity of rat liver mitochondria and cell cultures. We have demonstrated that high concentrations of VBIT-4 (15-30 μM) suppressed mitochondrial respiration in state 3 and 3UDNP driven by substrates of complex I and II. VBIT-4 induced depolarization of organelles fueled by substrates of complex I but not complex II of the respiratory chain. VBIT-4 has been found to inhibit the activity of complexes I, III, and IV of the respiratory chain. Molecular docking demonstrated that VBIT-4 interacts with the rotenone-binding site in complex I with similar affinity. 15-30 μM VBIT-4 caused an increase in H2O2 production in mitochondria, decreased the Ca2+ retention capacity, but increased the time of Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial swelling. We have found that the incubation of breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) with 30 μM VBIT-4 for 48 h led to the decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential, an increase in ROS production and death of MCF-7 cells. The mechanism of action of VBIT-4 on mitochondria and cells is discussed.

Protective Effect of Uridine on Structural and Functional Rearrangements in Heart Mitochondria after a High-Dose Isoprenaline Exposure Modelling Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy in Rats.

Abstract
The pyrimidine nucleoside uridine and its phosphorylated derivates have been shown to be involved in the systemic regulation of energy and redox balance and promote the regeneration of many tissues, including the myocardium, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Moreover, rearrangements in mitochondrial structure and function within cardiomyocytes are the predominant signs of myocardial injury. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate whether uridine could alleviate acute myocardial injury induced by isoprenaline (ISO) exposure, a rat model of stress-induced cardiomyopathy, and to elucidate the mechanisms of its action related to mitochondrial dysfunction. For this purpose, a biochemical analysis of the relevant serum biomarkers and ECG monitoring were performed in combination with transmission electron microscopy and a comprehensive study of cardiac mitochondrial functions. The administration of ISO (150 mg/kg, twice with an interval of 24 h, s.c.) to rats caused myocardial degenerative changes, a sharp increase in the serum cardiospecific markers troponin I and the AST/ALT ratio, and a decline in the ATP level in the left ventricular myocardium. In parallel, alterations in the organization of sarcomeres with focal disorganization of myofibrils, and ultrastructural and morphological defects in mitochondria, including disturbances in the orientation and packing density of crista membranes, were detected. These malfunctions were improved by pretreatment with uridine (30 mg/kg, twice with an interval of 24 h, i.p.). Uridine also led to the normalization of the QT interval. Moreover, uridine effectively inhibited ISO-induced ROS overproduction and lipid peroxidation in rat heart mitochondria. The administration of uridine partially recovered the protein level of the respiratory chain complex V, along with the rates of ATP synthesis and mitochondrial potassium transport, suggesting the activation of the potassium cycle through the mitoKATP channel. Taken together, these results indicate that uridine ameliorates acute ISO-induced myocardial injury and mitochondrial malfunction, which may be due to the activation of mitochondrial potassium recycling and a mild uncoupling leading to decreased ROS generation and oxidative damage.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal multisystem disease characterized by progressive death of motor neurons, loss of muscle mass, and impaired energy metabolism. More than 40 genes are now known to be associated with ALS, which together account for the majority of familial forms of ALS and only 10% of sporadic ALS cases. To date, there is no consensus on the pathogenesis of ALS, which makes it difficult to develop effective therapy. Accumulating evidence indicates that mitochondria, which play an important role in cellular homeostasis, are the earliest targets in ALS, and abnormalities in their structure and functions contribute to the development of bioenergetic stress and disease progression. Mitochondria are known to be highly dynamic organelles, and their stability is maintained through a number of key regulatory pathways. Mitochondrial homeostasis is dynamically regulated via mitochondrial biogenesis, clearance, fission/fusion, and trafficking; however, the processes providing "quality control" and distribution of the organelles are prone to dysregulation in ALS. Here, we systematically summarized changes in mitochondrial turnover, dynamics, calcium homeostasis, and alterations in mitochondrial transport and functions to provide in-depth insights into disease progression pathways, which may have a significant impact on current symptomatic therapies and personalized treatment programs for patients with ALS.

Abstract
The work shows the effect of the metabolic modulator uridine on the functioning and ultrastructure of heart mitochondria in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. Intraperitoneal administration of uridine (30 mg/kg/day for 28 days) improved K+ transport and increased its content in the heart mitochondria of mdx mice to the level of wild-type animals. This was accompanied by a significant decrease in the level of malondialdehyde and an increase in the number of mitochondria in the heart of mdx mice. At the same time, uridine did not affect the hyperfunctionality of mitochondria in mdx mice, which manifested in an increase in the calcium retention capacity. Nevertheless, we noted that uridine causes a significant decrease in the level of fibrosis in the heart of mdx mice, which attested to a positive effect of therapy.

Abstract
Using a model of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by the bilateral injection of neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into rat brain substantia nigra (SN), we showed uridine to exert a protective effect associated with activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoK-ATP) channel. Injection of 4 µg neurotoxin evoked a 70% decrease in the time the experimental animal spent on the rod in the RotaRod test, an increase in the amount of lipid peroxides in blood serum and cerebral-cortex mitochondria and the rate of reactive oxygen species formation, and a decrease in Ca2+ retention in mitochondria. Herewith, lymphocytes featured an increase in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosolic enzyme of glycolysis, without changes in succinate-dehydrogenase activity. Structural changes occurring in the SN and striatum manifested themselves in the destruction of mitochondria, degeneration of neurons and synapses, and stratification of myelin sheaths in them. Subcutaneous injections of 30 µg/kg uridine for 22 days restored the neurotoxin-induced changes in these parameters to levels close to the control. 5-Hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg), a specific mitoK-ATP channel inhibitor, eliminated the beneficial effect of uridine for almost all characteristics tested, indicating the involvement of the mitoK-ATP channel in the protective effect of uridine. The mechanism of the protective effect of uridine and its therapeutic applications for the prevention and treatment of PD are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of hyperglycemia on the morphology of individual mitochondria and the state of the mitochondrial network in primary mouse lung microvascular endotheliocytes and human dermal fibroblasts has been investigated. The cells were exposed to high (30 mM) and low (5.5 mM) glucose concentrations for 36 h. In primary endotheliocytes, hyperglycemic stress induced a significant increase in the number of mitochondria and a decrease in the interconnectivity value of the mitochondrial network, which was associated with a decrease in the mean size of the mitochondria. Analysis of the mRNA level of the genes of proteins responsible for mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy revealed an increase in the expression level of the Ppargc1a, Pink1, and Parkin genes, indicating stimulated mitochondrial turnover in endotheliocytes under high glucose conditions. In primary fibroblasts, hyperglycemia caused a decrease in the number of mitochondria and an increase in their size. As a result, the mitochondria exhibited higher values for elongation. In parallel, the mRNA level of the Ppargc1a and Mfn2 genes in fibroblasts exposed to hyperglycemia was reduced. These findings indicate that high glucose concentrations induced cell-specific morphological rearrangements of individual mitochondria and the mitochondrial network, which may be relevant during mitochondria-targeted drug testing and therapy for hyperglycemic and diabetic conditions.

Abstract
Prolonged hyperglycemia related to diabetes and its complications leads to multiple cellular disorders, the central one being the dysfunction of mitochondria. Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) of the outer mitochondrial membrane control the metabolic, ionic, and energy cross-talk between mitochondria and the rest of the cell and serve as the master regulators of mitochondrial functions. Here, we have investigated the effect of pharmacological suppression of VDAC1 by the newly developed inhibitor of its oligomerization, VBIT-4, in the primary culture of mouse lung endotheliocytes and downregulated expression of VDAC1 in human skin fibroblasts on the progression of mitochondrial dysfunction upon hyperglycemic stress. The cells were grown in high-glucose media (30 mM) for 36 h. In response to hyperglycemia, the mRNA level of VDAC1 increased in endotheliocytes and decreased in human skin fibroblasts. Hyperglycemia induced overproduction of mitochondrial ROS, an increase in the susceptibility of the organelles to mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore opening and a drop in mitochondrial membrane potential, which was accompanied by a decrease in cell viability in both cultures. Treatment of endotheliocytes with 5 µM VBIT-4 abolished the hyperglycemia-induced increase in susceptibility to spontaneous opening of the MPT pore and ROS generation in mitochondria. Silencing of VDAC1 expression in human skin fibroblasts exposed to high glucose led to a less pronounced manifestation of all the signs of damage to mitochondria. Our data identify a mitochondria-related response to pharmacological and genetic suppression of VDAC activity in vascular cells in hyperglycemia and suggest the potential therapeutic value of targeting these channels for the treatment of diabetic vasculopathies.

Abstract
The present work shows the cytotoxic effects of novel conjugates of ursolic, oleanolic, maslinic, and corosolic acids with the penetrating cation F16 on cancer cells (lung adenocarcinoma A549 and H1299, breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and BT474) and non-tumor human fibroblasts. It has been established that the conjugates have a significantly enhanced toxicity against tumor-derived cells compared to native acids and also demonstrate selectivity to some cancer cells. The toxic effect of the conjugates is shown to be due to ROS hyperproduction in cells, induced by the effect on mitochondria. The conjugates caused dysfunction of isolated rat liver mitochondria and, in particular, a decrease in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation, a decrease in the membrane potential, and also an overproduction of ROS by organelles. The paper discusses how the membranotropic- and mitochondria-targeted effects of the conjugates may be related to their toxic effects.

Abstract
Dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy (Duchenne dystrophy) is characterized by impaired ion homeostasis, in which mitochondria play an important role. In the present work, using a model of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice, we revealed decrease in the efficiency of potassium ion transport and total content of this ion in the heart mitochondria. We evaluated the effect of chronic administration of the benzimidazole derivative NS1619, which is an activator of the large-conductance Ca2+-dependent K+ channel (mitoBKCa), on the structure and function of organelles and the state of the heart muscle. It was shown that NS1619 improves K+ transport and increases content of the ion in the heart mitochondria of mdx mice, but this is not associated with the changes in the level of mitoBKCa protein and expression of the gene encoding this protein. The effect of NS1619 was accompanied by the decrease in the intensity of oxidative stress, assessed by the level of lipid peroxidation products (MDA products), and normalization of the mitochondrial ultrastructure in the heart of mdx mice. In addition, we found positive changes in the tissue manifested by the decrease in the level of fibrosis in the heart of dystrophin-deficient animals treated with NS1619. It was noted that NS1619 had no significant effect on the structure and function of heart mitochondria in the wild-type animals. The paper discusses mechanisms of influence of NS1619 on the function of mouse heart mitochondria in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and prospects for applying this approach to correct pathology.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the cytotoxicity of a previously synthesized conjugate of betulinic acid (BA) with the penetrating cation F16 on breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human fibroblast (HF) cell lines, and also shows the mechanism underlying its membranotropic action. It was confirmed that the conjugate exhibits higher cytotoxicity compared to native BA at low doses also blocking the proliferation of both cell lines and causing cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. We show that the conjugate indeed has a high potential for accumulation in mitochondria, being visualized in these organelles, which is most pronounced in cancer cells. The effect of the conjugate was observed to be accompanied by ROS hyperproduction in both cancerous and healthy cells, despite the lower base level of ROS in the latter. Along with this, using artificial liposomes, we determined that the conjugate is able to influence the phase state of lipid membranes, make them more fluid, and induce nonspecific permeabilization contributing to the overall cytotoxicity of the tested agent. We conclude that the studied BA-F16 conjugate does not have significant selective cytotoxicity, at least against the studied breast cancer cell line MCF-7.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive hereditary disease caused by the absence of the dystrophin protein. This is secondarily accompanied by a dysregulation of ion homeostasis, in which mitochondria play an important role. In the present work, we show that mitochondrial dysfunction in the skeletal muscles of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice is accompanied by a reduction in K+ transport and a decrease in its content in the matrix. This is associated with a decrease in the expression of the mitochondrial large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (mitoBKCa) in the muscles of mdx mice, which play an important role in cytoprotection. We observed that the BKCa activator NS1619 caused a normalization of mitoBKCa expression and potassium homeostasis in the muscle mitochondria of these animals, which was accompanied by an increase in the calcium retention capacity, mitigation of oxidative stress, and improvement in mitochondrial ultrastructure. This effect of NS1619 contributed to the reduction of degeneration/regeneration cycles and fibrosis in the skeletal muscles of mdx mice as well as a normalization of sarcomere size, but had no effect on the leakage of muscle enzymes and muscle strength loss. In the case of wild-type mice, we noted the negative effect of NS1619 manifested in the inhibition of the functional activity of mitochondria and disruption of their structure, which, however, did not significantly affect the state of the skeletal muscles of the animals. This article discusses the role of mitoBKCa in the development of DMD and the prospects of the approach associated with the correction of its function in treatments of this secondary channelopathy.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by the loss of functional dystrophin that secondarily causes systemic metabolic impairment in skeletal muscles and cardiomyocytes. The nutraceutical approach is considered as a possible complementary therapy for this pathology. In this work, we have studied the effect of pyrimidine nucleoside uridine (30 mg/kg/day for 28 days, i.p.), which plays an important role in cellular metabolism, on the development of DMD in the skeletal muscles of dystrophin deficient mdx mice, as well as its effect on the mitochondrial dysfunction that accompanies this pathology. We found that chronic uridine administration reduced fibrosis in the skeletal muscles of mdx mice, but it had no effect on the intensity of degeneration/regeneration cycles and inflammation, pseudohypetrophy, and muscle strength of the animals. Analysis of TEM micrographs showed that uridine also had no effect on the impaired mitochondrial ultrastructure of mdx mouse skeletal muscle. The administration of uridine was found to lead to an increase in the expression of the Drp1 and Parkin genes, which may indicate an increase in the intensity of organelle fission and the normalization of mitophagy. Uridine had little effect on OXPHOS dysfunction in mdx mouse mitochondria, and moreover, it was suppressed in the mitochondria of wild type animals. At the same time, uridine restored the transport of potassium ions and reduced the production of reactive oxygen species; however, this had no effect on the impaired calcium retention capacity of mdx mouse mitochondria. The obtained results demonstrate that the used dose of uridine only partially prevents mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscles during Duchenne dystrophy, though it mitigates the development of destructive processes in skeletal muscles.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the membranotropic effect of modified levopimaric acid diene adducts on liver mitochondria and lecithin liposomes. We found that the derivatives dose-dependently reduced the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria due to inhibition of the activity of complexes III and IV of the respiratory chain and protonophore action. This was accompanied by a decrease in the membrane potential in the case of organelle energization both by glutamate/malate (complex I substrates) and succinate (complex II substrate). Compounds 1 and 2 reduced the generation of H2O2 by mitochondria, while compound 3 exhibited a pronounced antioxidant effect on glutamate/malate-driven respiration and, on the other hand, caused ROS overproduction when organelles are energized with succinate. All tested compounds exhibited surface-active properties, reducing the fluidity of mitochondrial membranes and contributing to nonspecific permeabilization of the lipid bilayer of mitochondrial membranes and swelling of the organelles. Modified levopimaric acid diene adducts also induced nonspecific permeabilization of unilamellar lecithin liposomes, which confirmed their membranotropic properties. We discuss the mechanisms of action of the tested compounds on the mitochondrial OXPHOS system and the state of the lipid bilayer of membranes, as well as the prospects for the use of new modified levopimaric acid diene adducts in medicine.

Abstract
Effect of alisporivir (a mitochondrial permeability transition pore inhibitor) on the development of mitochondrial dysfunction under hyperglycemic conditions in the primary culture of mouse lung endothelial cells was investigated in this work. We demonstrated that hyperglycemia (30 mM glucose for 24 h) leads to the decrease in viability of the pulmonary endotheliocytes, causes mitochondrial dysfunction manifested by the drop in membrane potential and increase in superoxide anion generation as well as facilitates opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPT pore). Incubation of endothelial cells with 5 µM alisporivir under hyperglycemic conditions leads to the increase in cell viability, restoration of the membrane potential level and of the MPT pore opening activity to control values. Hyperglycemia causes increased mitophagy in the lung endothelial cells: we observed increase in the degree of colocalization of mitochondria and lysosomes and upregulation of the Parkin gene expression. Alisporivir restores these parameters back to the levels observed in the control cells. Hyperglycemia results in the increase in the expression of the Drp1 gene in endotheliocytes responsible for synthesis of the protein involved in the process of mitochondria fission. Alisporivir does not significantly alter expression of the genes. The paper discusses mechanisms of the effect of alisporivir on mitochondrial dysfunction in murine pulmonary endotheliocytes under conditions of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies are among the most severe myocardial pathologies, which are characterized by resistance to therapy and high mortality due to increasing heart failure and arrhythmia. Cardiomyocyte pathological changes upon cardiomyopathies are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to excessive formation of reactive oxygen species and the development of oxidative stress. In this regard, the study of the therapeutic potential of antioxidants in cardiomyopathies, as well as the mechanisms of their action on the functioning of mitochondria, is relevant and of high practical importance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral 14-day administration of dihydroquercetin in a water-soluble form (DHQWF) on the activity of the key marker of mitochondrial respiration [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)] and the cytoplasmic marker of glycolysis [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] in blood lymphocytes, as well as on the serum level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in control rats and rats with experimental cardiomyopathy. Material and methods. Adult male Wistar rats (body weight 220-240 g) were used for the study. Isoprenaline hydrochloride was used to induce cardiomyopathy (IIC) in animals (twice subcutaneous injection at a dose of 150 mg/kg body weight, with a break of 24 hours). DHQ-WF was added to the drinking water for 14 days at the dose of 15 or 30 mg/kg body weight. SDH and LDH activity in lymphocytes was measured using a highly sensitive cytobiochemical method on a blood smear according to the reduction of nitrotetrazolium blue chloride to diformazan of dark blue color. The content of malone dialdehyde (MDA) in the blood serum, heart and liver mitochondria was determined spectrophotometrically using thiobarbituric acid. Mitochondria were isolated from rat tissues by the conventional method of differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial respiration was recorded using a polarographic method. Results. Experimental cardiomyopathy in rats was accompanied by a twofold increase in blood serum MDA level, as well as by a significant increase in SDH and LDH activity in blood lymphocytes. The oral administration of DHQ-WF in cardiomyopathy at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight led to a significant decrease in serum MDA level, but did not reduce the activity of SDH and LDH in blood lymphocytes, compared with animals with cardiomyopathy that did not receive DHQ-WF. In the control group of animals, the use of DHQ-WF at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight significantly increased blood lymphocyte LDH activity, but did not have a statistically significant effect on SDH activity and the parameters of mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, the level of MDA in heart and liver mitochondria. Increasing the dose of DHQ-WF administered to 30 mg/kg had less effect on changes in these parameters in control animals. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate that in experimental cardiomyopathy in rats, the course application of DHQ-WF at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight acts as an effective antioxidant that prevents the development of lipid peroxidation in blood serum, and can modulate energy metabolism towards the enhancement of glycolysis in blood lymphocytes in control animals.

Abstract
Here, we found that functionally active mitochondria isolated from the brain of NMRI donor mice and administrated intranasally to recipient mice penetrated the brain structures in a dose-dependent manner. The injected mitochondria labeled with the MitoTracker Red localized in different brain regions, including the neocortex and hippocampus, which are responsible for memory and affected by degeneration in patients with Alzheimer's disease. In behavioral experiments, intranasal microinjections of brain mitochondria of native NMRI mice improved spatial memory in the olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) mice with Alzheimer's type degeneration. Control OBX mice demonstrated loss of spatial memory tested in the Morris water maze. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that allogeneic mitochondria colocalized with the markers of astrocytes and neurons in hippocampal cell culture. The results suggest that a non-invasive route intranasal administration of mitochondria may be a promising approach to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases characterized, like Alzheimer's disease, by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
The parameters of coupled respiration and transport of calcium ions in mitochondria isolated from the heart of rats were studied in two modes of exposure to epinephrine for modelling myocardial damage. In 24 h after injection of 1.5 mg/kg epinephrine to rats, we observed a decrease in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in heart mitochondria in the presence of both NADH- and FADH-dependent respiratory substrates. Increasing the epinephrine dose and exposure (2 mg/kg, 72 h) led to a more pronounced decrease in the ADP/O coefficient when succinate was used as a substrate, which indicated a predominant decrease in the activity of complex II of the respiratory chain. The injection of epinephrine in the two modes resulted in a decrease in the rate of calcium entry in rat heart mitochondria, but had no effect on mitochondrial calcium retention capacity, which reflects the resistance of the organelles to the induction of the Са2+-dependent pore. These findings suggest that both cardiomyopathy models in rats can be used to study the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy using mitochondria-targeted agents.

Abstract
We studied the effect of a new hypoglycemic compound dapagliflozin on the functioning of rat liver mitochondria. Dapagliflozin in concentrations of 10-20 μM had no effect on the parameters of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation of rat liver mitochondria. Increasing dapagliflozin concentration to 50 μM led to a significant inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in states 3 and 3UDNP. Dapagliflozin in this concentration significantly reduced calcium retention capacity of rat liver mitochondria. These findings indicate a decline in the resistance of rat liver mitochondria to induction of Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition pore. In a concentration of 10 μM, dapagliflozin significantly decreases the rate of H2O2 formation in rat liver mitochondria, which attested to an antioxidant effect of this compound. Possible mitochondrion-related mechanisms of the protective action of dapagliflozin on liver cells are discussed.

Abstract
Supporting mitochondrial function is one of the therapeutic strategies that improve the functioning of skeletal muscle in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In this work, we studied the effect of a non-immunosuppressive inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) alisporivir (5 mg/kg/day), reducing the intensity of the necrotic process and inflammation in skeletal muscles on the cardiac phenotype of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. We found that the heart mitochondria of mdx mice show an increase in the intensity of oxidative phosphorylation and an increase in the resistance of organelles to the MPT pore opening. Alisporivir had no significant effect on the hyperfunctionalization of the heart mitochondria of mdx mice, and the state of the heart mitochondria of wild-type animals did not affect the dynamics of organelles but significantly suppressed mitochondrial biogenesis and reduced the amount of mtDNA in the heart muscle. Moreover, alisporivir suppressed mitochondrial biogenesis in the heart of wild-type mice. Alisporivir treatment resulted in a decrease in heart weight in mdx mice, which was associated with a significant modification of the transmission of excitation in the heart. The latter was also noted in the case of WT mice treated with alisporivir. The paper discusses the prospects for using alisporivir to correct the function of heart mitochondria in DMD.

Abstract
Mitigation of calcium-dependent destruction of skeletal muscle mitochondria is considered as a promising adjunctive therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In this work, we study the effect of intraperitoneal administration of a non-immunosuppressive inhibitor of calcium-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore alisporivir on the state of skeletal muscles and the functioning of mitochondria in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. We show that treatment with alisporivir reduces inflammation and improves muscle function in mdx mice. These effects of alisporivir were associated with an improvement in the ultrastructure of mitochondria, normalization of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, and a decrease in lipid peroxidation, due to suppression of MPT pore opening and an improvement in calcium homeostasis. The action of alisporivir was associated with suppression of the activity of cyclophilin D and a decrease in its expression in skeletal muscles. This was observed in both mdx mice and wild-type animals. At the same time, alisporivir suppressed mitochondrial biogenesis, assessed by the expression of Ppargc1a, and altered the dynamics of organelles, inhibiting both DRP1-mediated fission and MFN2-associated fusion of mitochondria. The article discusses the effects of alisporivir administration and cyclophilin D inhibition on mitochondrial reprogramming and networking in DMD and the consequences of this therapy on skeletal muscle health.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a systemic metabolic disorder associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, with mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore opening being recognized as one of its pathogenic mechanisms. Alisporivir has been recently identified as a non-immunosuppressive analogue of the MPT pore blocker cyclosporin A and has broad therapeutic potential. The purpose of the present work was to study the effect of alisporivir (2.5 mg/kg/day i.p.) on the ultrastructure and functions of the skeletal muscle mitochondria of mice with diabetes mellitus induced by a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin injections. The glucose tolerance tests indicated that alisporivir increased the rate of glucose utilization in diabetic mice. An electron microscopy analysis showed that alisporivir prevented diabetes-induced changes in the ultrastructure and content of the mitochondria in myocytes. In diabetes, the ADP-stimulated respiration, respiratory control, and ADP/O ratios and the level of ATP synthase in the mitochondria decreased, whereas alisporivir treatment restored these indicators. Alisporivir eliminated diabetes-induced increases in mitochondrial lipid peroxidation products. Diabetic mice showed decreased mRNA levels of Atp5f1a, Ant1, and Ppif and increased levels of Ant2 in the skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscle mitochondria of diabetic animals were sensitized to the MPT pore opening. Alisporivir normalized the expression level of Ant2 and mitochondrial susceptibility to the MPT pore opening. In parallel, the levels of Mfn2 and Drp1 also returned to control values, suggesting a normalization of mitochondrial dynamics. These findings suggest that the targeting of the MPT pore opening by alisporivir is a therapeutic approach to prevent the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and associated oxidative stress in the skeletal muscles in diabetes.

Abstract
The effect of uridine on the myocardial ischemic and reperfusion injury was investigated. A possible mechanism of its cardioprotective action was established. Two rat models were used: (1) acute myocardial ischemia induced by occlusion of the left coronary artery for 60 min; and (2) myocardial ischemia/reperfusion with 30-min ischemia and 120-min reperfusion. In both models, treatment with uridine (30 mg/kg) prevented a decrease in cell energy supply and in the activity of the antioxidant system, as well as an increase in the level of lipid hydroperoxides and diene conjugates. This led to a reduction of the necrosis zone in the myocardium and disturbances in the heart rhythm. The blocker of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoKATP) channel 5-hydroxydecanoate limited the positive effects of uridine. The data indicate that the cardioprotective action of uridine may be related to the activation of the mitoKATP channel. Intravenously injected uridine was more rapidly eliminated from the blood in hypoxia than in normoxia, and the level of the mitoKATP channel activator UDP in the myocardium after uridine administration increased. The results suggest that the use of uridine can be a potentially effective approach to the management of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin (DAPA), a selective inhibitor of sodium/glucose cotransporter SGLT2, is currently used as a hypoglycemic agent in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In this work, we have assessed the effect of DAPA treatment (1 mg/kg/day) on the ultrastructure and functions of the liver mitochondria of C57BL/6NCrl mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by a high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin injections. An electron microscopy study showed that DAPA prevented the mitochondrial swelling and normalized the average mitochondrial size in hepatocytes of diabetic animals. The treatment with DAPA reversed the decline in the mtDNA copy number in the liver of diabetic mice. DAPA-treated T2DM mice showed increased expression of the Ppargc1a, Mfn2 and Drp1 in the liver tissue. The treatment of diabetic animals with DAPA normalized the mitochondrial respiratory control ratio, significantly decreased the level of lipid peroxidation products in liver mitochondria, and decreased their resistance to the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. At the same time, DAPA had no effects on the studied parameters of control animals. The paper discusses the possible mechanisms of the effect of dapagliflozin on mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver of diabetic animals.

Abstract
The paper examines the molecular mechanisms of the cytotoxicity of conjugates of betulinic acid with the penetrating cation F16. The in vitro experiments on rat thymocytes revealed that all the obtained F16-betulinic acid derivatives showed more than 10-fold higher cytotoxicity as compared to betulinic acid and F16. In this case, 0.5-1 μM of all conjugates showed mitochondria-targeted action, inducing superoxide overproduction and reducing the mitochondrial potential of cells. Experiments on isolated rat liver mitochondria revealed the ability of conjugates to dose-dependently reduce the membrane potential of organelles, as well as the intensity of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, which is also accompanied by an increase in the production of hydrogen peroxide by mitochondria. It was shown that these actions of derivatives may be due to several effects: the reversion of ATP synthase, changes in the activity of complexes of the respiratory chain and permeabilization of the inner mitochondrial membrane. All compounds also demonstrated the ability to induce aggregation of isolated rat liver mitochondria. Using the model of lecithin liposomes, we found that the F6 conjugate (2 μM) induces the permeability of vesicle membranes for the fluorescent probe sulforhodamine B. High concentrations (25 μM) of the F6 derivative have been found to induce dynamic processes in the liposome membrane leading to aggregation and/or fusion of vesicle membranes. The paper discusses the relationship between the mitochondria-targeted effects of F16-betulinic acid conjugates and their cytotoxicity.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that the development of oxidative stress in some pathologies can be prevented by activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP). Here we studied the effect of modulation of mitoKATP on the development of mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction in the medulla oblongata and myocardium of rats with experimental parkinsonism. It is known that uridine-5'-diphosphate, activator of mitoKATP, does not penetrate the plasma membrane, but it can be synthesized in cells from exogenous uridine that is delivered into cells by special transport systems. Our results suggest that mitoKATP is involved in the development of mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction in experimental parkinsonism and prove the cardio- and neuroprotective effects of uridine.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe hereditary disease caused by a lack of dystrophin, a protein essential for myocyte integrity. Mitochondrial dysfunction is reportedly responsible for DMD. This study examines the effect of glucocorticoid deflazacort on the functioning of the skeletal-muscle mitochondria of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice and WT animals. Deflazacort administration was found to improve mitochondrial respiration of mdx mice due to an increase in the level of ETC complexes (complexes III and IV and ATP synthase), which may contribute to the normalization of ATP levels in the skeletal muscle of mdx animals. Deflazacort treatment improved the rate of Ca2+ uniport in the skeletal muscle mitochondria of mdx mice, presumably by affecting the subunit composition of the calcium uniporter of organelles. At the same time, deflazacort was found to reduce the resistance of skeletal mitochondria to MPT pore opening, which may be associated with a change in the level of ANT2 and CypD. In this case, deflazacort also affected the mitochondria of WT mice. The paper discusses the mechanisms underlying the effect of deflazacort on the functioning of mitochondria and contributing to the improvement of the muscular function of mdx mice.

Abstract
Simple Summary Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common diseases, which currently represents a major medical and social problem due to the chronic course, high rates of disability and mortality among patients. Mitochondria of the liver and other vital organs are one of the main targets of T2DM at the intracellular level. The pathological changes in the structure of mitochondria, hyperproduction of reactive oxygen species by the organelles, disorders in mitochondrial transport systems and ATP synthesis are now widely recognized as important factors in the development of diabetes. Therefore, treatment strategies to attenuate mitochondrial injury may result in cellular reprogramming and alleviation of the diabetes-related pathological complications. The aim of present work was to investigate the possible protective effect of S-15176, a potent derivative of the anti-ischemic agent trimetazidine, against mitochondrial damage in the liver of mice with experimental T2DM. The data indicate that S-15176 attenuates mitochondrial dysfunction and ultrastructural abnormalities in the liver of T2DM mice. The mechanisms underlying the protective effect of S-15176 are related to the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the organelles. One may assume that the compound acts as a mitochondria-targeted metabolic reprogramming agent in T2DM. Abstract S-15176, a potent derivative of the anti-ischemic agent trimetazidine, was reported to have multiple effects on the metabolism of mitochondria. In the present work, the effect of S-15176 (1.5 mg/kg/day i.p.) on the ultrastructure and functions of liver mitochondria of C57BL/6 mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by a high-fat diet combined with a low-dose streptozotocin injection was examined. An electron microscopy study showed that T2DM induced mitochondrial swelling and a reduction in the number of liver mitochondria. The number of mtDNA copies in the liver in T2DM decreased. The expression of Drp1 slightly increased, and that of Mfn2 and Opa1 somewhat decreased. The treatment of diabetic animals with S-15176 prevented the mitochondrial swelling, normalized the average mitochondrial size, and significantly decreased the content of the key marker of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde in liver mitochondria. In S-15176-treated T2DM mice, a two-fold increase in the expression of the PGC-1α and a slight decrease in Drp 1 expression in the liver were observed. The respiratory control ratio, the level of mtDNA, and the number of liver mitochondria of S-15176-treated diabetic mice tended to restore. S-15176 did not affect the decrease in expression of Parkin and Opa1 in the liver of diabetic animals, but slightly suppressed the expression of these proteins in the control. The modulatory effect of S-15176 on dysfunction of liver mitochondria in T2DM can be related to the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the organelles.

Abstract
Some surface proteins of the newly identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can bind to the hemoglobin molecule of an erythrocyte, which leads to the destruction of the structure of the heme and the release of harmful iron ions to the bloodstream. The degradation of hemoglobin results in the impairment of oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, and the accumulation of free iron enhances the production of reactive oxygen species. Both events can lead to the development of oxidative stress. In this case, oxidative damage to the lungs leads then to the injuries of all other tissues and organs. The use of uridine, which preserves the structure of pulmonary alveoli and the air-blood barrier of the lungs in the course of experimental severe hypoxia, and dihydroquercetin, an effective free radical scavenger, is promising for the treatment of COVID-19. These drugs can also be used for the recovery of the body after the severe disease.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the developed world, and is associated either with the impaired secretion of insulin or with the resistance of cells to the actions of this hormone (type I and type II diabetes, respectively). In both cases, a common pathological change is an increase in blood glucose—hyperglycemia, which eventually can lead to serious damage to the organs and tissues of the organism. Mitochondria are one of the main targets of diabetes at the intracellular level. This review is dedicated to the analysis of recent data regarding the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of diabetes mellitus. Specific areas of focus include the involvement of mitochondrial calcium transport systems and a pathophysiological phenomenon called the permeability transition pore in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. The important contribution of these systems and their potential relevance as therapeutic targets in the pathology are discussed.

Abstract
We analyzed structural and functional features of the main mitochondrial Ca2+-transporting systems, mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter complex (MCUC) and Ca2+-dependent cyclosporin A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPT pore), in rats with hyperthyroid state. It was found that, the rate of Ca2+ accumulation by rat liver mitochondria in this pathology increases by 1.3 times, which can be associated with higher level of the channel-forming subunit of the uniporter MCU and lower content of dominant-negative subunit of this complex MCUb. At the same time, the level of the regulatory subunit MICU1 remained unchanged. It was shown that calcium retention capacity of liver mitochondria in rats with experimental hyperthyroidism decreased by 2 times in comparison with the control, which attested to reduced resistance of liver mitochondria of hyperthyroid rats to induction of the MPT pore. The observed changes are consistent with the data on increased amount of cyclophilin D, a mitochondrial matrix peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that is known to modulate the MPT pore opening and expression of the Ppif gene that encodes mitochondrial cyclophilin D in rats with experimental hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
The work examines the kinetic parameters of Ca2+ uptake via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex (MCUC) and the opening of the Ca2+-dependent permeability transition pore (MPT pore) in the liver and heart mitochondria of rats with high resistance (HR) and low resistance (LR) to acute hypoxia. We found that the rate of Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria of the liver and heart in HR rats is higher than that in LR rats, which is associated with a higher level of the channel-forming subunit MCU in liver mitochondria of HR rats and a lower content of the dominant-negative channel subunit MCUb in heart mitochondria of HR rats. It was shown that the liver mitochondria of HR rats are more resistant to the induction of the MPT pore than those of LR rats (the calcium retention capacity of liver mitochondria of HR rats was found to be 1.3 times greater than that of LR rats). These data correlate with the fact that the level of F0F1-ATP synthase, a possible structural element of the MPT pore, in the liver mitochondria of HR rats is lower than in LR rats. In heart mitochondria of rats of the two phenotypes, no statistically significant difference in the formation of the MPT pore was revealed. The paper discusses how changes in the expression of the MCUC subunits and the putative components of the MPT pore can affect Ca2+ homeostasis of mitochondria in animals with originally different tolerance to hypoxia and in hypoxia-induced tissue injury.

Abstract
Although diabetes mellitus is known to be a disease associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, not everything is clear about mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and Ca2+-induced permeability transition in diabetic cells. The objective of this work was to study the operation of MCU and Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial permeabilization in the liver cells of Sprague-Dawley rats under the streptozotocin-induced type I diabetes. It was shown that two weeks after the induction of diabetes, the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the mitochondria of diabetic animals increased ~1.4-fold. The expression of MCU and MICU1 subunits did not change, yet the quantity of dominant-negative MCUb channel subunits was almost twice as lower. The organelles also became more resistant to the induction of CsA-sensitive MPT pore and less resistant to the induction of CsA-insensitive palmitate/Ca2+-induced pore. The mitochondria of diabetic liver cells also showed changes in the lipid matrix of their membranes. The content of fatty acids in the membranes grew, and microviscosity of the lipid bilayer (assessed with laurdan) increased. At the same time, lipid peroxidation (assessed by the production of malonic dialdehyde) was stimulated. The paper discusses the consequences of the diabetes-related changes in mitochondria in the context of cell physiology.

Abstract
The mitochondrial structure and the contents of subunits (NDUFV2, SDHA, Cyt b, COX1) of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I-IV as well as of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) in the brain cortex (BC) of rats with high resistance (HR) and low resistance (LR) to hypoxia were studied for the first time depending on the severity of hypoxia. Different regimes of 30-min hypobaric hypoxia (pO2 14, 10, and 8%) were used. It was found that cortical mitochondria responded to 30-min hypobaric hypoxia of different severity with typical and progressing changes in mitochondrial structure and function of mitochondrial enzymes. Under 14 and 10% hypoxia, animals developed compensatory structural and metabolic responses aimed at supporting the cell energy homeostasis. Consequently, these hypoxia regimes can be used for treatment in pressure chambers. At the same time, decreasing the oxygen concentration in the inhaled air to 8% led to the appearance of destructive processes in brain mitochondria. The features of mitochondrial ultrastructure and the function of respiratory enzymes in the BC of HR and LR rats exposed to normoxic and hypoxic conditions suggest that the two types of animals had two essentially distinct functional and metabolic patterns determined by different efficiency of the energy apparatus. The development of adaptive and destructive responses involved different metabolic pathways of the oxidation of energy substrates and different efficiency of the functioning of mitochondrial respiratory carriers.

Abstract
The effect of the activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) on the ultrastructure of rat lung in acute hypoxic hypoxia (7% of oxygen in nitrogen, exposure 30 min) was studied. It was shown that uridine, a precursor of the mitoKATP activator UDP, exerted a protective effect against hypoxic damage to the lung. The administration of uridine to animals prior to hypoxia decreased the number of mitochondria with altered ultrastructure and prevented the hypoxia-induced mitochondrial swelling. Uridine also protected the epithelial, interstitial and endothelial layers of the air-blood barrier from the hypoxia-induced hyperhydration. The protective action of uridine against hypoxia-induced lung injury was eliminated by the selective blocker of mitoKATP 5-hydroxydecanoate. These data suggest that one of the mechanisms of the positive effect of uridine is related to the activation of the mitoKATP channel, which, according to the literature and our data, is involved in the protection of tissues from hypoxia and leads to adaptation to it. A possible role of uridine in the maintenance of the mitochondrial structure upon hypoxia-induced lung injury and the optimization of oxygen supply of the organism is discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondria are among the most important cell organelles involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis. During the last decade, a number of molecular structures responsible for the mitochondrial calcium transport have been identified including the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU), Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCLX), and Ca2+/H+ antiporter (Letm1). The review summarizes the data on the structure, regulation, and physiological role of such structures. The pathophysiological mechanism of Ca2+ transport through the cyclosporine A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore is discussed. An alternative mechanism for the mitochondrial pore opening, namely, formation of the lipid pore induced by saturated fatty acids, and its role in Ca2+ transport are described in detail.

Abstract
We studied the effects of in vivo modulation of activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) by uridine on the morphofunctional state of mitochondria in rat cardiomyocytes under conditions of acute hypoxia. Preinjection of uridine to animals reduced the number of structurally modified mitochondria, but had practically no effect on their morphogenesis after hypoxia. Uridine in vivo stimulated the formation of micromitochondria and their release into the cytoplasm. The number of "maternal" mitochondria containing three and more new micromitochondria, increased as well. The use of mitoKATP blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate in parallel with uridine abolished its protective effect, as it significantly inhibited the formation of micromitochondria in rat cardiomyocytes after acute hypoxic exposure.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effects of uridine on plasma cytokine levels, heat shock protein (HSP) 72 expression, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling in spleen lymphocytes after exposure of male BALB/c mice to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mice were treated with uridine (30 mg/kg body weight, intraperitoneal injection [i.p.]) or saline solution of LPS (2.5 mg/kg, i. p.). Endotoxin increased plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, and IL-6 by 2.1-, 1.9-, 1.7-, 1.6-, and 2.3-fold, respectively. Prior treatment with uridine prevented LPS-induced increases in all studied cytokines. In splenic lymphocytes, LPS treatment increased the expression of HSP 72 by 2.4-fold, whereas preliminary treatment with uridine completely prevented this effect. LPS also activated NF-κB signaling in splenic lymphocytes, and uridine decreased NF-κB pathway activity. Inhibitory analysis showed that the mechanism of uridine action was associated with the formation of the UDP-metabolic activator of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) and the UTP-activator of glycogen synthesis in the tissues. A specific inhibitor of mitoKATP, 5-hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg), and an inhibitor of glycogen synthesis, galactosamine (110 mg/kg), prevented the effects of uridine. Thus, uridine itself or uridine phosphates, which increased after uridine treatment, appeared to inhibit pro-inflammatory responses induced by LPS application. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the mechanisms mediating the effects of uridine were regulated by activation of glycogen synthesis and opening of the mitoKATP, which in turn increased the energy potential of the cell and reduced oxidative stress.

Abstract
The latency of tonic seizure in response to loud sound (in rats of the Krushinsky-Molodkina strain with audiogenic epilepsy) had been slightly (although statistically significantly) longer after chronic uridine injections (100 mg/kg, i.p., three times a day during 9 or 12 days). The recovery time from the tonic seizure was shorter after 12 days of injections in comparison to the 9-day injection period. At the same time, the intensity of tonic seizures provoked by loud sound did not change after chronic uridine injections. The lack of uridine anticonvulsive effect demonstrated in the audiogenic epilepsy model contradicts the anticonvulsant effects of uridine in experiments with other seizure models, in which the epileptic foci were localized in the forebrain structures.

Abstract
The role of brain and liver mitochondria at epileptic seizure was studied on Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) rats which respond to sound with an intensive epileptic seizure (audiogenic epilepsy). We didn't find significant changes in respiration rats of brain and liver mitochondria of KM and control rats; however the efficiency of АТР synthesis in the KM rat mitochondria was 10% lower. In rats with audiogenic epilepsy the concentration of oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde in mitochondria of the brain (but not liver) was 2-fold higher than that in the control rats. The rate of H2O2 generation in brain mitochondria of КМ rats was twofold higher than in the control animals when using NAD-dependent substrates. This difference was less pronounced in liver mitochondria. In KM rats, the activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel was lower than in liver mitochondria of control rats. The comparative study of the mitochondria ability to retain calcium ions revealed that in the case of using the complex I and complex II substrates, permeability transition pore is easier to trigger in brain and liver mitochondria of KM and КМs rats than in the control ones. The role of the changes in the energetic, oxidative, and ionic exchange in the mechanism of audiogenic epilepsy generation in rats and the possible correction of the epilepsy seizures are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of surface-potential modulators on palmitate/Ca2+-induced formation of lipid pores was studied in liposomal and inner mitochondrial membranes. Pore formation was monitored by sulforhodamine B release from liposomes and swelling of mitochondria. ζ-potential in liposomes was determined from electrophoretic mobility. Replacement of sucrose as the osmotic agent with KCl decreased negative ζ-potential in liposomes and increased resistance of both mitochondria and liposomes to the pore inducers, palmitic acid, and Ca2+. Micromolar Mg2+ also inhibited palmitate/Ca2+-induced permeabilization of liposomes. The rate of palmitate/Ca2+-induced, cyclosporin A-insensitive swelling of mitochondria increased 22% upon increasing pH from 7.0 to 7.8. At below the critical micelle concentration, the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (10 μM) and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (10-50 μM) made the ζ-potential less and more negative, respectively, and inhibited and stimulated opening of mitochondrial palmitate/Ca2+-induced lipid pores. Taken together, the findings indicate that surface potential regulates palmitate/Ca2+-induced lipid pore opening.

Abstract
The effect of spermine on Ca(2+)-dependent permeability transition in mitochondria and liposomes induced by palmitic and α,Ω-hexadecanedioic acid was studied. It has been shown that spermine inhibited the cyclosporin A-insensitive mitochondrial swelling induced by palmitic acid and Ca2+ and α,Ω-hexadecanedioic acid and Ca2+. 100 μM spermine did not influence the mitochondrial respiration in state V2 and the respiration stimulated by palmitic acid, α,Ω-hexadecanedioic acid and Ca2+. Pre-incubation of liposomes with 100 μM spermine resulted in the inhibition of palmitic acid/Ca(2+)- and α,Ω-hexadecanedioic acid/Ca(2+)-induced release of the fluorescent dye sulforhodamine B from liposomes. At the same time, spermine added to fatty acids-contained membranes of liposomes stimulated Ca(2+)-dependent release of sulforhodamine B from liposomes. It was shown that an addition of spermine to liposomes resulted in a significant increase in z-potential of liposomal membranes (from -39.8 mV to -18.6 mV). A possible mechanism of spermine influence on palmitic acid/Ca(2+)- and α,Ω-hexadecanedioic acid/Ca(2+)-induced permeability transition in mitochondria and liposomes is discussed.

Abstract
Phospholipase A of the bacterial outer membrane (OMPLA) is a β-barrel membrane protein which is activated under various stress conditions. The current study examines interaction of inhibitors of eucaryotic phospholipases A₂--palmitoyl trifluoromethyl ketone (PACOCF₃) and aristolochic acid (AA)--with OMPLA and considers a possible involvement of the enzyme in the Ca²⁺-dependent permeabilization of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. Using the method of molecular docking, it has been predicted that PACOCF₃ and AA bind to OMPLA at the same site and with the same affinity as the OMPLA inhibitors, hexadecanesulfonylfluoride and bromophenacyl bromide, and the substrate of the enzyme palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine. It has also been shown that PACOCF₃, AA, and bromophenacyl bromide inhibit the Ca²⁺-induced temperature-dependent changes in the permeability of the bacterial membrane for the fluorescent probe propidium iodide and suppressed the transformation of E. coli cells with plasmid DNA induced by Ca²⁺ and heat shock. The cell viability was not affected by the eucaryotic phospholipases A₂ inhibitors. The study discusses a possible involvement of OMPLA in the mechanisms of bacterial transmembrane transport based on the permeabilization of the bacterial outer membrane.

Abstract
The mechanisms of cytotoxic effect of uranyl nitrate were studied. It was shown that uranyl nitrate induced HEp-2 cell death, mainly by necrotic way. In the experiments in vitro, uranyl nitrate caused an appearance of 8-oxoguanine in DNA, indicating the induction of oxidative stress. The experiments with isolated rat liver mitochondria revealed that 1 mM uranyl nitrate decreased the respiration rates of mitochondria in state 3 and DNP-induced respiration. At the same time, uranyl nitrate had no influence on the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and decreased the rate of formation of H2O2 by mitochondria. Possible molecular mechanisms of uranyl-induced necrosis are discussed.

Abstract
The current understanding of the effects of alcohol intoxication on the basic mitochondrial functions has been presented. Both, the direct toxic effect of ethanol on biological membranes and various cellular systems and the toxicity of acetaldehyde and reactive oxygen species (the products of ethanol oxidation) are discussed, with emphasis on the effect of ethanol on the basic functions of mitochondria and Ca(2+)-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition. Based on the available experimental data, it is demonstrated that acute alcohol intoxication causes a global mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver, resulting in considerable disturbance of the whole cellular metabolism. Alcohol poisoning of the liver leads to a decreased ability of cells to withstand oxidative stress, to support the synthesis of vital metabolic intermediates (e.g., methyl groups), as well as to produce urea from ammonia, due to a decreased permeability of the outer membrane and impaired exchange of substrates between the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial matrix. This review emphasizes the role of the voltage-dependent anion channels of the outer mitochondrial membrane in ethanol-mediated disturbances of basic mitochondrial functions and its consequences for the entire cell metabolism in the liver.

Abstract
The influenc of cholesterol on the formation of the mitochondrial cyclosporin A (CsA)-insensitive palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore has been studied. It has been established that increasing the cholesterol level in mitochondrial membranes results in an increase in the of rate of mitochondrial swelling induced by palmitic acid (> or = 20 microM) and Ca2+ (30 microM). This effect is not related to changes in the functional activity of organelles since cholesterol did not influence the mitochondrial respiration in different metabolic states. At the same time, it was shown that the palmitate/Ca(2+)-induced permeabilization of cholesterol-containing azolectin liposomes was Stronger than that of azolectin liposomes. It was found that, in the liposomal membrane, the Ca(2+)-induced phase separation of palmitic acid into distinct membrane domains takes place. The presence of cholesterol in membranes increases the extent of segregation.
