Abstract
Cell intermediary metabolism and energy production succeeds by means of mitochondria, whose activity is in relation to transmembrane potential and/or free radical production. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent potassium channels (K(ATP)) in several cell types have shown to couple cell metabolism to membrane potential and ATP production. In this study, we explore whether oxygen consumption in isolated skeletal-muscle mitochondria differs in the presence of distinct respiration substrates and whether these changes are affected by K(ATP)-channel inhibitors such as glibenclamide, 5-Hydroxydecanoate (5-HD), and K(ATP) channel activators (pinacidil and diazoxide). Results demonstrate a concentration-dependent diminution of respiration rate by glibenclamide (0.5-20 microM), pinacidil (1-50 microM), and diazoxide (50-200 microM), but no significant differences were found when the selective mitochondrial K(ATP)-channel inhibitor (5-HD, 10-500 microM) was used. These results suggest that these K(ATP)-channel agonists and antagonists exert an effect on mitochondrial respiration and that they could be acting on mito-K(ATP) or other respiratory-chain components.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cardioprotective pathways may involve a mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel but its composition is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the mitoK(ATP) channel contains a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR)2 regulatory subunit and aimed to identify the molecular structure. METHODS AND RESULTS Western blot analysis in cardiac mitochondria detected a 55-kDa mitochondrial SUR2 (mitoSUR2) short form, 2 additional short forms (28 and 68 kDa), and a 130-kDa long form. RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) identified a 1.5-Kb transcript, which was generated by a nonconventional intraexonic splicing (IES) event within the 4th and 29th exons of the SUR2 mRNA. The translated product matched the predicted size of the 55-kDa short form. In a knockout mouse (SUR2KO), in which the SUR2 gene was disrupted, the 130-kDa mitoSUR2 was absent, but the short forms remained expressed. Diazoxide failed to induce increased fluorescence of flavoprotein oxidation in SUR2KO cells, indicating that the diazoxide-sensitive mitoK(ATP) channel activity was associated with 130-kDa-based channels. However, SUR2KO mice displayed similar infarct sizes to preconditioned wild type, suggesting a protective role for the remaining short form-based channels. Heterologous coexpression of the SUR2 IES variant and Kir6.2 in a K(+) transport mutant Escherichia coli strain permitted improved cell growth under acidic pH conditions. The SUR2 IES variant was localized to mitochondria, and removal of a predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence allowed surface expression and detection of an ATP-sensitive current when coexpressed with Kir6.2. CONCLUSIONS We identify a novel SUR2 IES variant in cardiac mitochondria and provide evidence that the variant-based channel can form an ATP-sensitive conductance and may contribute to cardioprotection.

Abstract
The cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can be mimicked or blocked by pharmacologic agents, which modulate the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mK(ATP)) channel, thereby implicating this channel in the mechanism of IPC. Cardioprotection can also be achieved via inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory complex II, and significant pharmacologic overlap exists between complex II inhibitors and mK(ATP) channel agonists. However, the relationship between complex II and the mK(ATP) channel remains unclear. Atpenin A5 (AA5) is a potent and specific complex II inhibitor, and herein we report that AA5 (1 nM) also activates the mK(ATP) channel and protects against simulated ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in isolated cardiomyocytes. Similar to known mK(ATP) agonists, AA5-mediated protection was sensitive to the mK(ATP) antagonists 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD) and glyburide. Notably, the optimal mK(ATP) opening and protective concentration of AA5 had no effect on complex II enzymatic activity, suggesting an interaction of AA5 with complex II, but not inhibition of the complex per se, is necessary for protection. A cardioprotective effect of AA5 was also observed in isolated perfused hearts, wherein AA5 increased post-IR contractile function and decreased infarct size, in a 5HD-sensitive manner. In conclusion, the specific complex II inhibitor AA5 is the most potent mK(ATP) activator discovered to date, and provides a novel method of activating mK(ATP) channels and protecting the heart from IR injury.

Abstract
Along with a large number of carriers, exchangers and "pumps", the inner mitochondrial membrane contains ion-conducting channels which endow it with controlled permeability to small ions. Some have been shown to be the mitochondrial counterpart of channels present also in other cellular membranes. The manuscript summarizes the current state of knowledge on the major inner mitochondrial membrane channels, properties, identity and proposed functions. Considerable attention is currently being devoted to two K(+)-selective channels, mtK(ATP) and mtBK(Ca). Their activation in "preconditioning" is considered by many to underlie the protection of myocytes and other cells against subsequent ischemic damage. We have recently shown that in apoptotic lymphocytes inner membrane mtK(V)1.3 interacts with the pro-apoptotic protein Bax after the latter has inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane. Whether the just-discovered mtIK(Ca) has similar cellular role(s) remains to be seen. The Ca(2+) "uniporter" has been characterized electrophysiologically, but still awaits a molecular identity. Chloride-selective channels are represented by the 107 pS channel, the first mitochondrial channel to be observed by patch-clamp, and by a approximately 400 pS pore we have recently been able to fully characterize in the inner membrane of mitochondria isolated from a colon tumour cell line. This we propose to represent a component of the Permeability Transition Pore. The available data exclude the previous tentative identification with porin, and indicate that it coincides instead with the still molecularly unidentified "maxi" chloride channel.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an evolutionarily conserved endogenous mechanism whereby short periods of non-lethal exposure to hypoxia alleviate damage caused by subsequent ischemia reperfusion (IR). Pharmacologic targeting has suggested that the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mK(ATP)) is central to IPC signaling, despite its lack of molecular identity. Here, we report that isolated Caenorhabditis elegans mitochondria have a K(ATP) channel with the same physiologic and pharmacologic characteristics as the vertebrate channel. Since C. elegans also exhibit IPC, our observations provide a framework to study the role of mK(ATP) in IR injury in a genetic model organism.

Abstract
Brain mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoK(ATP)) opening by diazoxide protects against ischemic damage and excitotoxic cell death. Here we studied the redox properties of brain mitoK(ATP) . MitoK(ATP) activation during excitotoxicity in cultured cerebellar granule neurons prevented the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death. Furthermore, mitoK(ATP) activation in isolated brain mitochondria significantly prevented H2O2 release by these organelles but did not change Ca2+ accumulation capacity. Interestingly, the activity of mitoK(ATP) was highly dependent on redox state. The thiol reductant mercaptopropionylglycine prevented mitoK(ATP) activity, whereas exogenous ROS activated the channel. In addition, the use of mitochondrial substrates that led to higher levels of endogenous mitochondrial ROS release closely correlated with enhanced K+ transport activity through mitoK(ATP). Altogether, our results indicate that brain mitoK(ATP) is a redox-sensitive channel that controls mitochondrial ROS release.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel openers are vasodilators that activate both plasma membrane and mitochondrial KATP channels. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which diazoxide and pinacidil induce vasodilation by studying diameter regulation of wild-type [SUR2(+/+)] and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) 2-deficient [SUR2(-/-)] mouse myogenic mesenteric arteries. Ryanodine (10 microM), a ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release (RyR) channel blocker; iberiotoxin (100 nM), a large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channel blocker; 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 1 mM), a voltage-gated K+ (KV) channel blocker; manganese(III) tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (MnTMPyP; 100 microM), an antioxidant; and a combination of ryanodine and 4-AP reduced diazoxide (100 microM)-induced dilation in pressurized (60 mm Hg) SUR2(+/+) arteries by 45 to 77%. In contrast, these inhibitors did not alter pinacidil (5 microM)-induced dilation in SUR2(+/+) arteries. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction indicated that SUR2B was the only SUR isoform expressed in SUR2(+/+) mesenteric artery smooth muscle cells, whereas SURs were absent in SUR2(-/-) cells. In SUR2(-/-) arteries, pinacidil-induced vasodilation was 10% of that in SUR2(+/+) arteries, whereas diazoxide-induced vasodilation was similar in SUR2(+/+) and SUR2(-/-) arteries. Atpenin (1 microM), a selective electron transport chain (ETC) complex II inhibitor, dilated arteries similarly to diazoxide, and this effect was attenuated by MnTMPyP and ryanodine + 4-AP. Atpenin also attenuated diazoxide-, but not pinacidil-induced vasodilation. In summary, data indicate that pinacidil-induced vasodilation requires SUR2B, whereas diazoxide-induced vasodilation does not require SURs. Rather, diazoxide-induced vasodilation involves ETCII inhibition; a smooth muscle cell-reactive oxygen species elevation; and RyR, KCa, and KV channel activation. These data indicate that KATP channel openers regulate arterial diameter via SUR-dependent and -independent pathways.

Abstract
Previous observations on the activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) by nitric oxide (NO) in myocardial preconditioning were based on indirect evidence. In this study, we have investigated the direct effect of NO on the rat cardiac mitoK(ATP) after reconstitution of the inner mitochondrial membranes into lipid bilayers. We found that the mitoK(ATP) was activated by exogenous NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine or PAPA NONOate. This activation was inhibited by mitoK(ATP) blockers 5-hydroxydecanoate or glibenclamide. Our observations confirm that NO can directly activate the cardiac mitoK(ATP), which may underlie its contribution to myocardial preconditioning.

Abstract
In work spanning more than a century, mitochondria have been recognized for their multifunctional roles in metabolism, energy transduction, ion transport, inheritance, signaling, and cell death. Foremost among these tasks is the continuous production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, which requires a large electrochemical driving force for protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane. This process requires a membrane with relatively low permeability to ions to minimize energy dissipation. However, a wealth of evidence now indicates that both selective and nonselective ion channels are present in the mitochondrial inner membrane, along with several known channels on the outer membrane. Some of these channels are active under physiological conditions, and others may be activated under pathophysiological conditions to act as the major determinants of cell life and death. This review summarizes research on mitochondrial ion channels and efforts to identify their molecular correlates. Except in a few cases, our understanding of the structure of mitochondrial ion channels is limited, indicating the need for focused discovery in this area.

Abstract
Defects in ion channels (channelopathies) are increasingly found in a large spectrum of human pathologies including aging. Mutations in genes encoding ion channel proteins, which disrupt channel function, are the most commonly identified cause of channelopathies. Mutations in associated proteins, alterations in the expression of ion channels, or changes in the activity of non-mutated channel genes or associated proteins can also produce acquired channelopathies. Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cells, are considered to be the most important cellular organelles to contribute to aging mainly because of their role in the production of reactive oxygen species in the initiation of apoptotic cell remodeling and in efficient ATP synthesis. During the past 50 years, multiple ion channels or transporters have been found in mitochondria, and the relationship between the activity of these channels and cellular aging, as well as the overall cellular biological function, has been intensively studied in a number of cell types and animal models. In this review, we discuss the better characterized mitochondrial ion channels whose dysfunction (mitochondrial channelopathies) may affect or accelerate the aging processes. These channels include the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)), Ca(2+) transporters, voltage-dependent anion channel, and the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mitoPTP).

Abstract
It has been proposed that activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) is part of signaling pathways triggering the cardioprotection afforded by ischemic preconditioning of the heart. This work was to analyze the mitochondrial function profile of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts during the different phases of various ischemia-reperfusion protocols. Specifically, skinned fibers of ischemic preconditioned hearts exhibit a decline in the succinate-supported respiration and complex II activity during ischemia, followed by a recovery during reperfusion. Meanwhile, the apparent affinity of respiration for ADP (which reflects the matrix volume expansion) is increased during preconditioning stimulus and, to a larger extent, during prolonged ischemia. This evolution pattern is mimicked by diazoxide and abolished by 5-hydroxydecanoate. It is concluded that opening the mitoK(ATP) channel mediates the preservation of mitochondrial structure-function via a mitochondrial matrix shrinkage and a reversible inactivation of complex II during prolonged ischemic insult.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is a manifestation of necrotic cell death as a result of opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Receptor-mediated cardioprotection is triggered by an intracellular signaling pathway that includes phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, endothelial nitric-oxide synthase, guanylyl cyclase, protein kinase G (PKG), and the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel (mitoK(ATP)). In this study, we explored the pathway that links mitoK(ATP) with the MPT. We confirmed previous findings that diazoxide and activators of PKG or protein kinase C (PKC) inhibited MPT opening. We extended these results and showed that other K(+) channel openers as well as the K(+) ionophore valinomycin also inhibited MPT opening and that this inhibition required reactive oxygen species. By using isoform-specific peptides, we found that the effects of K(ATP) channel openers, PKG, or valinomycin were mediated by a PKCepsilon. Activation of PKCepsilon by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or H(2)O(2) resulted in mitoK(ATP)-independent inhibition of MPT opening, whereas activation of PKCepsilon by PKG or the specific PKCepsilon agonist psiepsilon receptor for activated C kinase caused mitoK(ATP)-dependent inhibition of MPT opening. Exogenous H(2)O(2) inhibited MPT, because of its activation of PKCepsilon, with an IC(50) of 0.4 (+/-0.1) microm. On the basis of these results, we propose that two different PKCepsilon pools regulate this signaling pathway, one in association with mitoK(ATP) and the other in association with MPT.

Abstract
Mitochondrial potassium channels, such as ATP-regulated or large conductance Ca2+ -activated and voltage gated channels were implicated in cytoprotective phenomenon in different tissues. Basic effects of these channels activity include changes in mitochondrial matrix volume, mitochondrial respiration and membrane potential, and generation of reactive oxygen species. In this paper, we describe the pharmacological properties of mitochondrial potassium channels and their modulation by channel inhibitors and potassium channel openers. We also discuss potential side effects of these substances.

Abstract
The activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) of rat heart and liver mitochondria was shown to decrease during aging. This partially explains the increase of risk of ischemia at a mature age since mitoKATP activation provides cardioprotection. We demonstrated that uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) possesses the property to activate mitoKATP. At a concentration of 30 microM, it reactivated mitoKATP in mitochondria, and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) eliminated this effect. In experimental animals, UDP precursors uridine and uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP) (both 30 mg/kg, administered intravenously 5 min before coronary occlusion) decreased the myocardium ischemic alteration index (1.9 and 3.5 times, respectively) and the T-wave amplitude within 60 min after occlusion. Both effects were inhibited by Glibenclamide (Glib) and 5-HD. UMP and uridine decreased the number of premature ventricular beats 5.6 and 1.9 times and the duration of ventricular tachycardia 9.4 and 4.1 times, respectively. Glib and 5-HD inhibited the anti-arrhythmic parameters, 5-HD being less effective. Uridine and UMP decreased the duration of fibrillation 10.8 and 3.6 times, respectively, and this effect was not abolished by Glib and 5-HD. Thus, uridine and UMP, which are the precursors of UDP in the cell, possess cardioprotective properties. MitoKATP prevents mainly ischemic injuries and partially rhythm disorders.

Abstract
This study investigates the role of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP) in response to positive inotropic stress. In Langendorff-perfused rat hearts, inotropy was induced by increasing perfusate calcium to 4 mM, by adding 80 microM ouabain or 0.25 microM dobutamine. Each of these treatments resulted in a sustained increase in rate-pressure product (RPP) of approximately 60%. Inhibition of mitoKATP by perfusion of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) or tetraphenylphosphonium before induction of inotropic stress resulted in a marked attenuation of RPP. Inhibition of mitoKATP after induction of stress caused the inability of the heart to maintain a high-work state. In human atrial fibers, the increase in contractility induced by dobutamine was inhibited 60% by 5-HD. In permeabilized fibers from the Langendorff-perfused rat hearts, inhibition of mitoKATP resulted, in all cases, in an alteration of adenine nucleotide compartmentation, as reflected by a 60% decrease in the half-saturation constant for ADP [K1/2 (ADP)]. We conclude that opening of cardiac mitoKATP is essential for an appropriate response to positive inotropic stress and propose that its involvement proceeds through the prevention of stress-induced decrease in mitochondrial matrix volume. These results indicate a physiological role for mitoKATP in inotropy and, by extension, in heart failure.

Abstract
Activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP) and its regulation by PKC are critical events in preconditioning induced by ischemia or pharmaceutical agents in animals and humans. The properties of the human cardiac mitoKATP channel are unknown. Furthermore, there is no evidence that cytosolic PKC can directly regulate the mitoKATP channel located in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) due to the physical barrier of the outer mitochondrial membrane. In the present study, we characterized the human cardiac mitoKATP channel and its potential regulation by PKC associated with the IMM. IMM fractions isolated from human left ventricles were fused into lipid bilayers in symmetrical potassium glutamate (150 mM). The conductance of native mitoKATP channels was usually below 80 pS ( approximately 70%), which was reduced by ATP and 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The native mitoKATP channel is activated by diazoxide and inhibited by ATP and 5-HD. The PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (2 microM) increased the cumulative open probability of the mitoKATP channel previously inhibited by ATP (P < 0.05), but its inactive analog 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate had no effect. Western blot analysis detected an inward rectifying K+ channel (Kir6.2) immunoreactive protein at 56 kDa and PKC-delta in the IMM. These data provide the first characterization of the human cardiac mitoKATP channel and its regulation by PKC(s) in IMM. This local PKC control mechanism may represent an alternative pathway to that proposed previously for cytosolic PKC during ischemic/pharmacological preconditioning.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated whether activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel is involved in the neuroprotective effect offered by early hyperbaric oxygenation after cerebral ischemia. The selective mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel antagonist 5-hydroxydecanoate was infused intracerebroventricularly before hyperbaric oxygenation treatment initiated 3 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 min. Neurological status was evaluated and brains were removed for the measurement of infarct size and immunohistochemical evaluation of apoptosis 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Early hyperbaric oxygenation treatment improved neurologic deficits and reduced infarct volume, while these effects were reversed by the administration of 5-hydroxydecanoate. Furthermore, early hyperbaric oxygenation significantly decreased the number of apoptotic cells in the peri-infarct cortex 24 h after ischemic insult and this effect was also blocked by 5-hydroxydecanoate. The present findings suggest that early hyperbaric oxygenation therapy prevents apoptosis and promotes neurologic functional recovery after focal cerebral ischemia, and the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel plays a role in this antiapoptotic effect of early hyperbaric oxygenation.

Abstract
Bepridil, which is clinically useful in the treatment of arrhythmias, has been reported to inhibit sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive K(+) (sarcK(ATP)) channels. However, the effect of bepridil on mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (mitoK(ATP)) channels remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to determine whether bepridil activates mitoK(ATP) channels and confers cardioprotection. SarcK(ATP) channels composed of Kir6.2+SUR2A in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells were examined using the patch-clamp technique. Flavoprotein fluorescence in guinea pig ventricular cells and matrix volume in isolated rat heart mitochondria were measured to assay mitoK(ATP) channel activity. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](m)) was measured by loading cells with rhod-2 fluorescence. Coronary-perfused guinea pig ventricular muscles were subjected to 35-min no-flow ischemia followed by 60-min reperfusion. Bepridil (10 microM) completely inhibited the pinacidil-induced Kir6.2+SUR2A channel current expressed in HEK 293 cells. Bepridil reversibly oxidized the flavoprotein and increased mitochondrial matrix volume in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, bepridil significantly attenuated the ouabain-induced increase of [Ca(2+)](m). Pretreatment with bepridil for 5 min before ischemia improved the recovery of developed tension measured after 60 min of reperfusion. These effects of bepridil were abolished by the mitoK(ATP) channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 microM) and by the nonselective K(ATP) channel blocker glisoxepide (10 microM). Our results indicate that bepridil is an opener of mitoK(ATP) channels but an inhibitor of sarcK(ATP) channels and exerts a direct cardioprotective effect on native cardiac myocytes. This is the first report of a unique modulator of K(ATP) channels; bepridil would be expected to mitigate ischemic injury while blunting arrhythmias.

Abstract
A computational model for the mitochondrial respiratory chain that appropriately balances mass, charge, and free energy transduction is introduced and analyzed based on a previously published set of data measured on isolated cardiac mitochondria. The basic components included in the model are the reactions at complexes I, III, and IV of the electron transport system, ATP synthesis at F1F0 ATPase, substrate transporters including adenine nucleotide translocase and the phosphate–hydrogen co-transporter, and cation fluxes across the inner membrane including fluxes through the K+/H+ antiporter and passive H+ and K+ permeation. Estimation of 16 adjustable parameter values is based on fitting model simulations to nine independent data curves. The identified model is further validated by comparison to additional datasets measured from mitochondria isolated from rat heart and liver and observed at low oxygen concentration. To obtain reasonable fits to the available data, it is necessary to incorporate inorganic-phosphate-dependent activation of the dehydrogenase activity and the electron transport system. Specifically, it is shown that a model incorporating phosphate-dependent activation of complex III is able to reasonably reproduce the observed data. The resulting validated and verified model provides a foundation for building larger and more complex systems models and investigating complex physiological and pathophysiological interactions in cardiac energetics. Cells are able to perform tasks that consume energy (such as producing mechanical force in muscle contraction) by using chemical energy delivered in the form of a chemical compound called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. Two Nobel Prizes were awarded (in 1978 to Peter D. Mitchell and in 1997 to Paul D. Boyer and John E. Walker) for the determination of how ATP is synthesized from the components adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate in a subcellular body called the mitochondrion. The operating theory, called the chemiosmotic theory, describes how a driving force called the proton motive force, which arises from the sum of contributions from the electrical potential and the hydrogen ion concentration difference across the mitochondrial inner membrane, is developed by reactions catalyzed by certain enzymes and consumed in generating ATP. Yet, to date, no computer model has successfully described the development and consumption of both the chemical and electrical components of the proton motive force in a thermodynamically balanced simulation. Beard introduces such a model, which is extensively validated based on previously published sets of data obtained on isolated mitochondria. The model is used to test hypotheses about how intracellular respiration is regulated; this model could serve as a foundation for investigating the control of mitochondrial function and for developing larger integrated simulations of cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Pharmacological modulation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP) sensitive to diazoxide and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) represents an attractive strategy to protect cells against ischaemia/reperfusion- and stroke-related injury. To re-evaluate a functional role for the mitoKATP in brain, we used Percoll-gradient-purified brain nonsynaptosomal mitochondria in a light absorbance assay, in radioisotope measurements of matrix volume, and in measurements of respiration, membrane potential (DeltaPsi) and depolarization-induced K+ efflux. The changes in mitochondrial morphology were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Polyclonal antibodies raised against certain fragments of known sulphonylurea receptor subunits, SUR1 and SUR2, and against different epitopes of K+ inward rectifier subunits Kir 6.1 and Kir 6.2 of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel of the plasma membrane (cellKATP), were employed to detect similar subunits in brain mitochondria. A variety of plausible blockers (ATP, 5-hydroxydecanoate, glibenclamide, tetraphenylphosphonium cation) and openers (diazoxide, pinacidil, chromakalim, minoxidil, testosterone) of the putative mitoKATP were applied to show the role of the channel in regulating matrix volume, respiration, and DeltaPsi and K+ fluxes across the inner mitochondrial membrane. None of the pharmacological agents applied to brain mitochondria in the various assays pinpointed processes that could be unequivocally associated with mitoKATP activity. In addition, immunoblotting analysis did not provide explicit evidence for the presence of the mitoKATP, similar to the cellKATP, in brain mitochondria. On the other hand, the depolarization-evoked release of K+ suppressed by ATP could be re-activated by carboxyatractyloside, an inhibitor of the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). Moreover, bongkrekic acid, another inhibitor of the ANT, inhibited K+ efflux similarly to ATP. These observations implicate the ANT in ATP-sensitive K+ transport in brain mitochondria.

Abstract
Ischemic and pharmacological preconditioning can be triggered by an intracellular signaling pathway in which Gi-coupled surface receptors activate a cascade including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, guanylyl cyclase, and protein kinase G (PKG). Activated PKG opens mitochondrial KATP channels (mitoKATP) which increase production of reactive oxygen species. Steps between PKG and mitoKATP opening are unknown. We describe effects of adding purified PKG and cGMP on K+ transport in isolated mitochondria. Light scattering and respiration measurements indicate PKG induces opening of mitoKATP similar to KATP channel openers like diazoxide and cromakalim in heart, liver, and brain mitochondria. This effect was blocked by mitoKATP inhibitors 5-hydroxydecanoate, tetraphenylphosphonium, and glibenclamide, PKG-selective inhibitor KT5823, and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors chelerythrine, Ro318220, and PKC-epsilon peptide antagonist epsilonV(1-2). MitoKATP are opened by the PKC activator 12-phorbol 13-myristate acetate. We conclude PKG is the terminal cytosolic component of the trigger pathway; it transmits the cardioprotective signal from cytosol to inner mitochondrial membrane by a pathway that includes PKC-epsilon.

Abstract
Two distinct K+ uniporters have been described in mitochondria, ATP-sensitive and Ca2+-activated. Both are capable of protecting tissues against ischemia and other forms of injury when active. These findings indicate a central role for mitochondrial K+ uptake in tissue protection. This review describes the characteristics of mitochondrial K+ uniport, physiological consequences of this transport, forms of tissue damage in which K+ channels are implicated and possible mechanisms through which protection occurs.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) is one kind of inwardly rectifying channel composed of two kinds of subunits: the pore forming subunits and the regulatory subunits. K(ATP) channels exist in the sarcolemmal, mitochondrial and nuclear membranes of various tissues. Cell metabolism regulates K(ATP) gene expression and metabolism products regulate the channel by direct interactions, while K(ATP) controls membrane potentials and regulate cell activities including energy metabolism, apoptosis and gene expression. K(ATP) channels from different cell organelles are linked by some signal molecules and they can respond to common stimulation in a coordinate way. In the cardiovascular system K(ATP) has important functions. The most prominent is that opening of this channel can protect cardiac myocytes against ischemic injuries. The sarcolemmal K(ATP) may provide a basic protection against ischemia by energy sparing, while both the sarcolemmal K(ATP) and mitochondrial K(ATP) channels are necessary for the ischemia preconditioning. K(ATP) channels also have important functions including homeostasis maintenance and vascular tone regulation under physiological conditions. Further elucidation of the role of K(ATP) in the cardiovascular system will help us to regulate cell metabolism or prevent damage caused by abnormal channel functions.

Abstract
Isolated kidney proximal tubules subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) have incomplete recovery of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) that can be improved, but not normalized, by ATP in permeabilized cells as measured by safranin O uptake. In these studies, the mechanisms for the decreased DeltaPsi(m) in the tubules after H/R are further investigated and impairment of the function of the mitochondrial F(1)F(O)-ATPase is assessed. Normoxic control tubules had a small ATP-dependent component to DeltaPsi(m), but it required low micromolar levels of ATP, not the millimolar levels needed to support DeltaPsi(m) in tubules de-energized with rotenone or after H/R. Micromolar levels of ATP did not improve DeltaPsi(m) after either mild or severe H/R injury. The dependence of DeltaPsi(m) on millimolar levels of ATP after H/R decreased over time during reoxygenation. ATP hydrolysis by the oligomycin-sensitive, mitochondrial F(1)F(O)-ATPase was well preserved after H/R as long as Mg(2+) was available, indicating that function of both the F(1)F(O)-ATPase and of the adenine nucleotide translocase, which delivers nucleotides to it, are largely intact. However, ATP hydrolysis by the ATPase did not restore DeltaPsi(m) as much as expected from the rate of ATP utilization. These findings, taken together with the observation that substrate-supported generation of DeltaPsi(m) is impaired despite intact electron transport, make it likely that uncoupling plays a major role in the mitochondrial dysfunction in proximal tubules during H/R.

Abstract
Mitochondria are being increasingly studied for their critical role in cell survival. Multiple diverse signaling pathways have been shown to converge on the K+-sensitive ATP channels as the effectors of cytoprotection against necrosis and apoptosis. The role of potassium channel openers in regulation and transformation of cell membrane excitability, action potential and electrolyte transfer has been extensively studied. Cardiac mitoK(ATP) channels are the key effectors in cardioprotection during ischemic preconditioning, as yet with an undefined mechanism. They have been hypothesized to couple myocardial metabolism with membrane electrical activity and provide an excellent target for drug therapy. A number of K(ATP) channel openers have been characterized for their beneficial effects on the myocardium against ischemic injury. This review updates recent progress in understanding the physiological role of K(ATP) channels in cardiac protection induced by preconditioning and highlights relevant questions and controversies in the light of published data.

Abstract
Mitochondrial ion transport, oxidative phosphorylation, redox balance, and physical integrity are key factors in tissue survival following potentially damaging conditions such as ischemia/reperfusion. Recent research has demonstrated that pharmacologically activated inner mitochondrial membrane ATP-sensitive K+ channels (mitoK(ATP)) are strongly cardioprotective under these conditions. Furthermore, mitoK(ATP) are physiologically activated during ischemic preconditioning, a procedure which protects against ischemic damage. In this review, we discuss mechanisms by which mitoK(ATP) may be activated during preconditioning and the mitochondrial and cellular consequences of this activation, focusing on end-effects which may promote ischemic protection. These effects include decreased loss of tissue ATP through reverse activity of ATP synthase due to increased mitochondrial matrix volumes and lower transport of adenine nucleotides into the matrix. MitoK(ATP) also decreases the release of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species by promoting mild uncoupling in concert with K+/H+ exchange. Finally, mitoK(ATP) activity may inhibit mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake during ischemia, which, together with decreased reactive oxygen release, can prevent mitochondrial permeability transition, loss of organelle function, and loss of physical integrity. We discuss how mitochondrial redox status, K+ transport, Ca2+ transport, and permeability transitions are interrelated during ischemia/reperfusion and are determinant factors regarding the extent of tissue damage.
