Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and is strongly associated with the presence of oxidative stress. Disturbances in lipid metabolism lead to hepatic lipid accumulation, which affects different reactive oxygen species (ROS) generators, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and NADPH oxidase. Mitochondrial function adapts to NAFLD mainly through the downregulation of the electron transport chain (ETC) and the preserved or enhanced capacity of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, which stimulates ROS overproduction within different ETC components upstream of cytochrome c oxidase. However, non-ETC sources of ROS, in particular, fatty acid β-oxidation, appear to produce more ROS in hepatic metabolic diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum stress and NADPH oxidase alterations are also associated with NAFLD, but the degree of their contribution to oxidative stress in NAFLD remains unclear. Increased ROS generation induces changes in insulin sensitivity and in the expression and activity of key enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. Moreover, the interaction between redox signaling and innate immune signaling forms a complex network that regulates inflammatory responses. Based on the mechanistic view described above, this review summarizes the mechanisms that may account for the excessive production of ROS, the potential mechanistic roles of ROS that drive NAFLD progression, and therapeutic interventions that are related to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mitochondria possess a Ca2+ transport system composed of separate Ca2+ influx and efflux pathways. Intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentrations regulate oxidative phosphorylation, required for cell function and survival, and mitochondrial redox balance, that participates in a myriad of signaling and damaging pathways. The interaction between Ca2+ accumulation and redox imbalance regulates opening and closing of a highly regulated inner membrane pore, the membrane permeability transition pore (PTP). In this review, we discuss the regulation of the PTP by mitochondrial oxidants, reactive nitrogen species, and the interactions between these species and other PTP inducers. In addition, we discuss the involvement of mitochondrial redox imbalance and PTP in metabolic conditions such as atherogenesis, diabetes, obesity and in mtDNA stability.

Abstract
The permeability transition (PT) denotes an increase of the mitochondrial inner membrane permeability to solutes with molecular masses up to about 1500 Da. It is presumed to be mediated by opening of a channel, the permeability transition pore (PTP), whose molecular nature remains a mystery. Here I briefly review the history of the PTP, discuss existing models, and present our new results indicating that reconstituted dimers of the FOF1 ATP synthase form a channel with properties identical to those of the mitochondrial megachannel (MMC), the electrophysiological equivalent of the PTP. Open questions remain, but there is now promise that the PTP can be studied by genetic methods to solve the large number of outstanding problems.

The higher susceptibility of congenital analbuminemic rats to Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition is associated with the increased expression of cyclophilin D and nitrosothiol depletion. Mol Genet Metab 2011; 104:521-8. [PMID: 21963200 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2011.08.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2011] [Revised: 08/30/2011] [Accepted: 08/30/2011] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Congenital analbuminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a trace level of albumin in blood plasma and mild clinical symptoms. Analbuminemic patients generally present associated abnormalities, among which dyslipidemia is a hallmark. In this study, we show that mitochondria isolated from different tissues (liver, heart and brain) from 3-month-old analbuminemic rats (NAR) present a higher susceptibility to Ca(2+)-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), as assessed by either Ca(2+)-induced mitochondrial swelling, dissipation of membrane potential or mitochondrial Ca(2+) release. The Ca(2+) retention capacity of the liver mitochondria isolated from 3-month-old NAR was about 50% that of the control. Interestingly, the assessment of this variable in 21-day-old NAR indicated that the mitochondrial Ca(2+) retention capacity was preserved at this age, as compared to age-matched controls, which indicates that a reduced capacity for mitochondrial Ca(2+) retention is not a constitutive feature. The search for putative mediators of MPT sensitization in NAR revealed a 20% decrease in mitochondrial nitrosothiol content and a 30% increase in cyclophilin D expression. However, the evaluation of other variables related to mitochondrial redox status showed similar results between the controls and NAR, i.e., namely the contents of reduced mitochondrial membrane protein thiol groups and total glutathione, H(2)O(2) release rate, and NAD(P)H reduced state. We conclude that the higher expression of cyclophilin D, a major component of the MPT pore, and decreased nitrosothiol content in NAR mitochondria may underlie MPT sensitization in these animals.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are a by-product of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, derived from a small quantity of superoxide radicals generated during electron transport. We conducted a comprehensive and quantitative study of oxygen consumption, inner membrane potentials, and H(2)O(2) release in mitochondria isolated from rat brain, heart, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle, using various respiratory substrates (alpha-ketoglutarate, glutamate, succinate, glycerol phosphate, and palmitoyl carnitine). The locations and properties of reactive oxygen species formation were determined using oxidative phosphorylation and the respiratory chain modulators oligomycin, rotenone, myxothiazol, and antimycin A and the uncoupler CCCP. We found that in mitochondria isolated from most tissues incubated under physiologically relevant conditions, reactive oxygen release accounts for 0.1-0.2% of O(2) consumed. Our findings support an important participation of flavoenzymes and complex III and a substantial role for reverse electron transport to complex I as reactive oxygen species sources. Our results also indicate that succinate is an important substrate for isolated mitochondrial reactive oxygen production in brain, heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle, whereas fatty acids generate significant quantities of oxidants in kidney and liver. Finally, we found that increasing respiratory rates is an effective way to prevent mitochondrial oxidant release under many, but not all, conditions. Altogether, our data uncover and quantify many tissue-, substrate-, and site-specific characteristics of mitochondrial ROS release.

Abstract
The mitochondrial permeability transition pore is a high conductance channel whose opening leads to an increase of mitochondrial inner membrane permeability to solutes with molecular masses up to approximately 1500 Da. In this review we trace the rise of the permeability transition pore from the status of in vitro artifact to that of effector mechanism of cell death. We then cover recent results based on genetic inactivation of putative permeability transition pore components, and discuss their meaning for our understanding of pore structure. Finally, we discuss evidence indicating that the permeability transition pore plays a role in pathophysiology, with specific emphasis on in vivo models of disease.

Abstract
The lignan otobaphenol, (8R,8'R,7R)-4'-hydroxy-5'-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxy-2',7,8,8'-neolignan, extracted from Virola Aff. Pavonis leaves, completely inhibits at a concentration of 2.5 micro M the Fe(3+)-ascorbate-induced lipoperoxidation of rat liver mitochondria that was determined by oxygen consumption and accumulation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive species. At 25 micro M, it delays the mitochondrial permeability transition induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide or Ca(2+), substantially inhibits the state 3 respiration, does not affect the state 4 respiration and the ADP/O ratio (with succinate), diminishes the rate of Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria, and delays the ruthenium red-insensitive uncoupler-induced release of the loaded Ca(2+). Dose-dependent delaying of the calcium-induced swelling of mitochondria in the presence of otobaphenol nonlinearly correlates with its 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity. At 75 micro M and higher, this lignan causes mitochondrial aggregation and is able to aggregate itself, without mitochondria. The formed aggregates of otobaphenol do not cause an aggregation of subsequently added mitochondria. Thus, otobaphenol seems to be a promising target to prevent the oxidative stress death of cells.

Abstract
The membrane permeability transition (MPT) induced by Ca2+ and Pi or Asi was studied in rat kidney mitochondria. Membrane potential, Ca2+ transport and swelling were used to monitor the MPT. Asi promoted a faster and more extensive collapse of membrane potential, Ca2+ release and swelling than Pi. The MPT induced by Pi was fully blocked by Mg(2+)+ADP, spermine+ADP, Mg(2+)+ cyclosporin A (CSA), and ADP+CSA. In contrast, the MPT induced by Asi was only prevented, although not completely, by CSA+Mg2+ or ADP+CSA. Asi, but not Pi, was able to cause collapse of membrane potential in the presence of Sr2+. Carboxyatractyloside (CAT) produced collapse of membrane potential at a lower concentration in the presence of Asi+Ca(2+)+ADP than with Pi+Ca(2+)+ADP. The addition of Pi+Ca2+ to [14C]-ADP loaded mitochondria brought about a greater ADP release than Asi+Ca2+. The ADP release was CAT-sensitive with Pi but it was only partially blocked by Asi. The diminution of external pH did not inhibit the MPT induced by Pi or Asi. The results of this study suggest that the adenine nucleotide translocase does not have an essential role in the MPT induced by Asi+Ca2+.

Abstract
Patch-clamp and planar bilayer experiments on porin-less yeast mitochondria have allowed the characterization of a cationic channel activated at matrix-side positive (unphysiological) potentials. In voltage-pulse experiments, inactivation was a faster process than activation and the time constant for inactivation was more steeply dependent on voltage than the one for activation. The channel exhibited various conductance states whose occupancy depended on the applied transmembrane potential. In bilayer experiments, the presence of the pCOx-IV leader peptide induced fast gating in a voltage-dependent manner. A comparison with previously described activities suggests that the pore may coincide with the peptide-sensitive channel (PSC) (Thieffry et al. (1988) EMBO J. 7, 1449-1454) as well as with two other activities (Dihanich et al. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 181, 703-708; Tedeschi et al. (1987) J. Membr. Biol. 97, 21-29) assigned to the mitochondrial outer membrane. The possible relationship of this channel to the mitochondrial megachannel is discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by metal-catalyzed 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) aerobic oxidation have been shown to damage the inner membrane of isolated rat liver mitochondria by a Ca(2+)-dependent mechanism. The present work describes experiments indicating that this damage can be prevented, but not completely reversed by the additions of catalase, ADP, cyclosporin A and dithiothreitol, as judged by the extent of delta psi regeneration by the injured mitochondria. In contrast, the addition of EGTA, which removes free Ca2+ and, possibly, Fe2+ present both in the intra- and extramitochondrial compartments, causes a prompt and complete regeneration of delta psi, even after long periods of mitochondrial incubations in the presence of ALA. This reversibility suggests that protein alterations such as protein thiol cross-linkings, evidenced by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, are the main cause of increased membrane permeability promoted by ALA oxidation. The inhibition of protein aggregation and fast regeneration of delta psi promoted by EGTA suggest that the binding of Ca2+ to some membrane proteins plays a crucial role in the mechanism of both protein polymerization (pore assembly) and pore opening. The implication of these results with the molecular pathology of acute intermittent porphyria is also discussed.

Abstract
Swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria is shown to be induced by metal-catalyzed 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) aerobic oxidation, a putative endogenous source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), at concentrations as low as 50-100 microM. In this concentration range, ALA is estimated to occur in the liver of acute intermittent porphyria patients. Removal of Ca2+ (10 microM) from the suspension of isolated rat liver mitochondria by added EGTA abolishes both the ALA-induced transmembrane-potential collapse and mitochondrial swelling. Prevention of the ALA-induced swelling by addition of ruthenium red prior to mitochondrial energization by succinate demonstrates the deleterious involvement of internal Ca2+. Addition of MgCl2 at concentrations higher than 2.5 mM, prevents the ALA-induced mitochondrial swelling, transmembrane potential collapse and Ca2+ efflux. This indicates that Mg2+ protects against the mitochondrial damage promoted by ALA-generated ROS. The ALA-induced mitochondrial damage might be a key event in the liver mitochondrial damage of acute intermittent porphyria patients reported elsewhere.

Abstract
Isolated rat liver mitochondria undergo extensive swelling and disruption of membrane potential when they accumulate Ca2+ in the presence of a prooxidant such as diamide or t-butylhydroperoxide. The phenothiazinic drug trifluoperazine, at concentrations (15-35 microM) which do not inhibit respiration or the influx of Ca2+ into mitochondria, significantly protected mitochondria against the deleterious effects of Ca2+ plus a prooxidant. In contrast, at concentrations higher than 100 microM the drug potentiated these deleterious effects of Ca2+ and prooxidants and had a damaging effect per se on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is proposed that the protection conferred by the drug is mediated by changes in membrane protein structure that decrease the production of protein thiol cross-linkings which occur when mitochondria accumulate calcium under oxidant stress conditions.

Abstract
1. In the absence of exogenous Ca(II), Pi induces a swelling change that is kinetically first order with k = 1.08 +/- 0.1 min-1. The first-order rate constant is independent of [Pi] over the range of 0.5-45 mM. 2. In the presence of exogenous substrate, the volume change induced by Pi is monophasic and can be reversed by ADP. 3. The swelling process and the approach to steady state is accompanied by controlled losses of both K+ and Mg(II) from within the mitochondria. 4. The loss of K+ is biphasic as a function of time with ki = 14.1 +/- 1.6 and k2 = 4.4 +/- 0.34 nmol min-1 mg mitochondria-1. 5. The loss of Mg(II) is monophasic and the rate at which this cation is released decreases as a function of time. Ca(II) fluxes are not involved in the volume occurring secondary to Pi uptake. 6. In the absence of exogenous substrate, Pi induces a triphasic change in mitochondrial volume. 7. The sequence of volume changes corresponds to an initial first-order swelling secondary to the addition of Pi, a contraction apparently triggered by the loss of approximately 85% of total intra-mitochondrial Mg(II), and a second larger swelling phase that cannot be reversed with ADP. 8. The Pi-induced swelling of chick heart mitochondria is not inhibited by EGTA and does not depend on the provision of exogenous Ca(II). 9. The Ca(II) and Mg(II) ions released from within the mitochondria are responsible for activating divalent cation-dependent ATPases which cosediment with isolated chick heart mitochondria.

Abstract
The effect of the alkylating reagent dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) on mitochondrial Ca2+ content was studied. The results obtained indicate that DCCD at a concentration of 100 microM induces mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux. This reaction is accompanied by an increasing energy drain on the system, stimulation of oxygen consumption, and mitochondrial swelling. These DCCD effects can be partially suppressed by supplementing the incubation medium with 1 mM phosphate. By electrophoretic analysis on polyacrylamide-sodium dodecyl sulfate, it was found that DCCD binds to a membrane component with an Mr of 20 to 29 kDa.

Abstract
Most investigations of calcium antagonists as treatments for experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) have not demonstrated significant reduction of tissue damage or improvement in neurologic outcome. Many of these studies were prompted by reports that these agents increase blood flow to ischemic tissues. However, in vitro studies of renal and neuronal tissues subjected to an anoxic stress have shown that the calcium antagonists can confer direct protection on stressed parenchymal cells. We have used a tissue culture model of nerve cell injury to investigate whether calcium antagonists increase the probability of survival of spinal cord neurons after a defined physical trauma. Preliminary toxicity studies determined the maximum nontoxic dosages of verapamil (80 microM), nifedipine (10 microM), and chlorpromazine (10 microM) for neurons in our cultures. Preselected neurons (100-200 per study) were subjected to amputation of one primary dendrite at a distance of 100 microns from the perikaryon. Erythrosine B tests of viability conducted 24 h after lesioning failed to demonstrate that neurons injured in the presence of any one of these agents had an increased probability of survival compared to operated control neurons. Viability evaluations conducted 2 h after injury with phase contrast microscopy showed no evidence of slowed deterioration. Correction for other lesion physical parameters (lesion diameter and the extent of proximal segment retraction) also failed to reveal any increased protection by these agents. We conclude that calcium antagonists alone will not be useful for treatment of the primary injury of SCI.

Abstract
Respiring rat liver mitochondria are known to spontaneously release the Ca2+ taken up when they have accumulated Ca2+ over a certain threshold, while Sr2+ and Mn2+ are well tolerated and retained. We have studied the interaction of Sr2+ with Ca2+ release. When Sr2+ was added to respiring mitochondria simultaneously with or soon after the addition of Ca2+, the release was potently inhibited or reversed. On the other hand, when Sr2+ was added before Ca2+, the release was stimulated. Ca2+-induced mitochondrial damage and release of accumulated Ca2+ is generally believed to be due to activation of mitochondrial phospholipase A (EC 3.1.1.4.) by Ca2+. However, isolated mitochondrial phospholipase A activity was little if at all inhibited by Sr2+. The Ca2+-release may thus be triggered by some Ca2+-dependent function other than phospholipase.

Abstract
1. Calcium uptake by washed trophozoites of Giardia lamblia was dependent on inorganic orthophosphate and stimulated by glucose. Uptake was both rapid and substantial: 224 +/- 73 nmoles Ca2+/mg protein/min. 2. Known inhibitors of Ca2+ uptake in mammalian cells also impeded Ca2+ influx into G. lamblia. 3. The inhibitor studies indicated that Ca2+ transport in G. lamblia was an active process. Energy for such a process could be provided by the action of ATPases. 4. Two types of ATPases were found in the parasite; one, a membrane-associated enzyme activated by Ca2+; the other, a soluble, cytosolic enzyme activated by Mg2+. 5. These enzymes differed not only in their intracellular distribution and divalent cation requirements, but also in their sensitivity to calmodulin antagonists. The particulate enzyme was sensitive to these inhibitors whereas the soluble ATPase was not. 6. Our data indicate that Ca2+ transport in G. lamblia is mediated by a membrane-bound, calmodulin-regulated, Ca2+-ATPase.

Abstract
Effect of methotrexate (MTX) on mitochondrial oxygen uptake, oxidative phosphorylation and on the activity of several enzymes linked to respiratory chain was studied. MTX was able to inhibit state III respiration activated by ADP and to decrease the respiratory coefficient with the substrates alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate; these effects became pronounced when mitochondria were pre-incubated with MTX for 10 min. No effect was observed on ATPase activity of undamaged or broken mitochondria; the same was true for NADH-oxidase, NADH-dehydrogenase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, succinate oxidase, and cytochrome c oxidase activity. The effect on the steady-state of cytochrome b, as well as, the inhibitory effect on state III of respiration with NAD+-linked substrates, offers a reasonable possibility to suggesting that the inhibition site of MTX could be in a place anterior to cytochrome b region, and not linked to respiratory chain.

Abstract
The mechanism by which a number of agents such as hydroperoxides, inorganic phosphate, azodicarboxylic acid bis(dimethylamide) (diamide), 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione) and aging, induce Ca2+ release from rat liver mitochondria has been analyzed by following Ca2+ fluxes in parallel with K+ fluxes, matrix swelling and triphenylmethylphosphonium fluxes (as an index of transmembrane potential). Addition of hydroperoxides causes a cycle of Ca2+ efflux and reuptake and an almost parallel cycle of delta psi depression. The hydroperoxide-induced delta psi depression is biphasic. The first phase is rapid and insensitive to ATP and is presumably due to activation of the transhydrogenase reaction during the metabolization of the hydroperoxides. The second phase is slow and markedly inhibited by ATP and presumably linked to the activation of a Ca2+-dependent reaction. The slow phase of delta psi depression is paralleled by matrix K+ release and mitochondrial swelling. Nupercaine and ATP reduce or abolish also K+ release and swelling. Inorganic phosphate, diamide, menadione or aging also cause a process of Ca2+ efflux which is paralleled by a slow delta psi depression, K+ release and swelling. All these processes are reduced or abolished by Nupercaine and ATP. The slow delta psi depression following addition of hydroperoxide and diamide is largely reversible at low Ca2+ concentration but tends to become irreversible at high Ca2+ concentration. The delta psi depression increases with the increase of hydroperoxide, diamide and menadione concentration, but is irreversible only in the latter case. Addition of ruthenium red before the hydroperoxides reduces the extent of the slow but not of the rapid phase of delta psi depression. Addition of ruthenium red after the hydroperoxides results in a slow increase of delta psi. Such an effect differs from the rapid increase of delta psi due to ruthenium-red-induced inhibition of Ca2+ cycling in A23187-supplemented mitochondria. Metabolization of hydroperoxides and diamide is accompanied by a cycle of reversible pyridine nucleotide oxidation. Above certain hydroperoxide and diamide concentrations the pyridine nucleotide oxidation becomes irreversible. Addition of menadione results always in an irreversible nucleotide oxidation. The kinetic correlation between Ca2+ efflux and delta psi decline suggests that hydroperoxides, diamide, menadione, inorganic phosphate and aging cause, in the presence of Ca2+, an increase of the permeability for protons of the inner mitochondrial membrane. This is followed by Ca2+ efflux through a pathway which is not the H+/Ca2+ exchange.

Abstract
The pyridine nucleotide specificity, the participation of delta psi, and the energy-linked transhydrogenase in the process of Ca2+ efflux stimulated by the oxidized state of NAD(P) were examined in rat liver mitochondria energized by ascorbate + TMPD. The following observations were made: The Ca2+ efflux rate is independent of the redox state of mitochondrial NAD, but is at a minimum when mitochondrial NADP is in the reduced state and accelerated several-fold when it is in the oxidized state. When the redox state of NADP is shifted to a more oxidized state, the steady-state level of Ca2+ in the medium increased and delta psi decreased in proportion to the mitochondrial NADP+ level. The activity of the energy-linked NAD(P) transhydrogenase seems to be a key element in determining the redox state of NADP and thus of Ca2+ retention and efflux from mitochondria.

Abstract
Intramitochondrial Sr2+, similar to Ca2+, inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in intact rat-liver mitochondria. Both Ca2+ and Sr2+ also inhibit the hydrolytic activity of the ATPase in submitochondrial particles. Half-maximal inhibition of ATPase activity was attained at a concentration of 2.5 mM Ca2+ or 5.0 mM Sr2+ when the concentration of Mg2+ in the medium was 1.0 mM. The inhibition of ATPase activity by both cations was strongly decreased by increasing the Mg2+ concentration in the reaction medium. In addition, kinetical data and the determination of the concentration of MgATP, the substrate of the ATPase, in the presence of different concentrations of Ca2+ or Sr2+ strongly indicate that these cations inhibit ATP hydrolysis by competing with Mg2+ for the formation of MgATP. On the basis of a good agreement between these results with submitochondrial particles and the results of titrations of oxidative phosphorylation with carboxyatractyloside or oligomycin in mitochondria loaded with Sr2+ it can be concluded that intramitochondrial Ca2+ or Sr2+ inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in intact mitochondria by decreasing the availability of adenine nucleotides to both the ADP/ATP carrier and the ATP synthase.

Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to examine the redox status of chondrocytes in normal and rachitic growth cartilages and to relate energy metabolism to cell maturation and the initiation of mineralization. The redox status was evaluated by chemical analysis and by microfluorimetric scanning of rapidly frozen, freeze-fractured tibial growth cartilages. In the normal epiphysis, the redox pattern of both avian and lagomorph cartilages were very similar. Thus, in the proliferative tissue zone the NAD/NADH ratio was high; in the hypertrophic zone, the cells appeared to be reduced. The sharp border between the two zones suggested that the redox shift may be associated with development of hypoxia. Induction of rickets resulted in a fivefold decrease in the total concentration of pyridine nucleotides in the proliferating and hypertrophic zones. Furthermore, the NAD/NADH ratio was profoundly disturbed. In the mineralizing zone, there was an accumulation of reduced pyridine nucleotide. Healing, initiated by administration of vitamin D to the rachitic birds, caused a rapid increase in NAD and NADH in all zones of the growth cartilage. It was concluded that vitamin D deficiency leads to changes in the energy metabolism of growth cartilage and that these changes were related to the defective mineralization of the rachitic tissue.

Abstract
Isolated rat liver mitochondria, energized either by succinate oxidation or by ATP hydrolysis, present a transient increase in the rate of Ca2+ efflux concomitant to NAD(P)H oxidation by hydroperoxides when suspended in a medium containing 3 mM ATP, 4 mM Mg2+ and acetate as permeant anion. This is paralleled by an increase in the steady-state concentration of extramitochondrial Ca2+, a small decrease in delta psi and an increase in the rate of respiration and mitochondrial swelling. With the exception of mitochondrial swelling all other events were found to be reversible. If Ca2+ cycling was prevented by ruthenium red, the changes in delta psi, the rate of respiration and the extent of mitochondrial swelling were significantly diminished. In addition, there was no significant decrease in the content of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides. Mitochondrial coupling was preserved after a cycle of Ca2+ release and re-uptake under these experimental conditions. It is concluded that hydroperoxide-induced Ca2+ efflux from intact mitochondria is related to the redox state of pyridine nucleotides.

Abstract
The maximal amounts of Ca2+ being accumulated (delta Ca2+max) and H+ emitted (delta H+max) by Ca2+-loading mitochondria, with succinate (+rotenone) as respiratory substrate, were evaluated. delta Ca2+max was increased by providing either citrate or ATP to a Pi- and Mg2+-free medium. With citrate, delta H+max was only scarcely increased, so that the effect of the proton-carrying anion resulted essentially from an increase in the Ca2+/H+ ratio, i.e., from preservation of membrane potential. With ATP (+/- oligomycin), the Ca2+/H+ ratio was unaltered; i.e., the increase of delta Ca2+max was paralleled by a related increase in delta H+max. Mitochondria appeared to retain Ca at higher delta pH, i.e., at lower membrane potential, in the presence of ATP. With citrate and ATP together, both the Ca2+/H+ ratio and delta H+max were largely increased, and the product of these two terms, delta Ca2+max, was considerably enlarged. The effect of either citrate or ATP was markedly reinforced in the presence of the other anion. In addition to increasing the Ca2+/H+ ratio, citrate contributed to increasing delta H+max in the presence of ATP, i.e., apparently sensitized mitochondria to the action of ATP. A citrate-induced depression of Ca2+ cycling across the inner membrane, even though pronounced, did not account for the sensitization. Supraadditive effects of citrate and ATP persisted in the presence of MgCl2 and Pi, under conditions of massive Ca2+ loading, and may contribute to the high capacity of mitochondria, in situ, to retain calcium.

Abstract
The release of Ca2+ from respiring rat liver mitochondria following the addition of either ruthenium red or an uncoupler was measured by a Ca2+-selective electrode or by 45Ca2+ technique. Ba2+ ions are asymmetric inhibitors of both Ca2+ release processes. Ba2+ ions in a concentration of 75 microM inhibited the ruthenium red and the uncoupler induced Ca2+ release by 80% and 50%, respectively. For the inhibition, it was necessary that Ba2+ ions entered the matrix space: Ba2+ ions did not cause any inhibition of Ca2+ release if addition of either ruthenium red or the uncoupler preceded that of Ba2+. The time required for the development of the inhibition of the Ca2+ release and the time course of 140Ba2+ uptake ran in parallel. Ba2+ accumulation is mediated through the Ca2+ uniporter as 140Ba2+ uptake was competitively inhibited by extramitochondrial Ca2+ and prevented by ruthenium red. Due to the inhibition of the ruthenium red insensitive Ca2+ release, Ba2+ shifted the steady-state extramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration to a lower value. Ba2+ is potentially a useful tool to study mitochondrial Ca2+ transport.

Abstract
Ruthenium red-insensitive, uncoupler-stimulated release of Ca2+ from Ehrlich ascites tumor cell mitochondria is much slower than from rat liver mitochondria under comparable conditions. In the presence of Pi and at moderate or high Ca2+ loads, ruthenium red-insensitive Ca2+ efflux elicited with uncoupler is approximately 20 times more rapid for rat liver than Ehrlich cell mitochondria. This is attributed to resistance of tumor mitochondria to damage by Ca2+ due to a high level of endogenous Mg2+ that also attenuates Ca2+ efflux. Calcium release from rat liver and tumor mitochondria is inhibited by exogenous Mg2+. This applies to ruthenium red-insensitive spontaneous Ca2+ efflux associated with Ca2+ uptake and uncoupling, and (b) ruthenium red-insensitive Ca2+ release stimulated by uncoupling agent. The endogenous Mg2+ level of Ehrlich tumor mitochondria is approximately three times that of rat liver mitochondria. Endogenous Ca2+ is also much greater (six fold) in Ehrlich tumor mitochondria compared to rat liver. Despite the quantitative difference in endogenous Mg2+, the properties of internal Mg2+ are much the same for rat liver and Ehrlich cell mitochondria. Ehrlich ascites tumor mitochondria exhibit slow, metabolically dependent Mg2+ release and rapid limited release of Mg2+ during Ca2+ uptake. Both have been observed with rat liver and other types of mitochondria. The proportions of apparently "bound" and "free" Mg2+ (inferred from release by the ionophore, A23187) do not differ significantly between tumor and liver mitochondria. Thus, the endogenous Mg2+ of tumor mitochondria has no unusual features but is simply elevated substantially. Ruthenium red-insensitive Ca2+ efflux, when expressed as a function of the intramitochondrial Ca2+/Mg2+ ratio, is quite similar for tumor and rat liver. It is proposed, therefore, that endogenous Mg2+ is a major regulatory factor responsible for differences in the sensitivity to damage by Ca2+ and Ca2+ release by Ehrlich ascites tumor mitochondria compared to mitochondria from normal tissues.

Abstract
Mitochondria are known to develop a series of abnormalities as a result of ischemia. The inability of mitochondria to resume normal function following reperfusion has been implicated as an important factor in irreversible cell damage. However, the mechanism of mitochondrial injury after ischemic brain insult is poorly understood. In this paper a hypothesis is proposed which concentrates on the interrelated roles of phosphate, calcium, and electron transport on ischemic brain cell injury.

Abstract
Coupled mitochondria isolated from the white leaves of cabbage (Brassica Oleracea, var. capitata) were inactive in respiration-coupled Ca2+ accumulation, in contrast to mitochondria isolated from etiolated corn (Zea mays) which showed the ability to take up Ca2+ from the medium, although with a much lower activity than liver mitochondria. The addition of corn mitochondria to aerobic medium containing succinate as respiratory substrate and a free Ca2+ concentration of 40 microM resulted in Ca2+ uptake with a decrease in free Ca2+ concentration until a steady state of about 2.0 microM was reached and maintained constant for several minutes. Perturbation of this steady state by the addition of Ca2+ or EGTA was followed by Ca2+ uptake or release, respectively, until the steady state was attained at the original extramitochondrial free Ca2+ concentration. These results indicate that corn but not cabbage mitochondria, as with some animal mitochondria, have the ability to buffer external Ca2+ and may be involved in the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis in the cell.

Abstract
Ruthenium red prevented the spontaneous calcium release and the accompanying mitochondrial destruction occurring in calcium-loaded mitochondria in the presence of phosphate. Under these conditions delta pH and membrane potential delta psi were preserved and the ruthenium red-induced calcium efflux was low and at a constant rate. On prolonged incubation with calcium prior to addition of ruthenium red increasingly more mitochondrial calcium developed into a pool rapidly dischargeable by ruthenium red. This development was accompanied by stimulation of respiration which was, however, not abolished by ruthenium red as could have been expected if it had been caused by calcium cycling. Calcium therefore altered mitochondria by a different mechanism than by cycling across the inner membrane.

Abstract
We investigated the probability of survival of mouse spinal neurons in monolayer cultures after transection lesions of dendrites made within 400 microns of the perikarya. Based on a total of 650 lesioned neurons, the following observations were made. First, neuronal survival is a function of lesion distance from the perikaryon and of process diameter at the lesion site. For an average lesion diameter of 3 microns, dendrite transections at 50 microns, 100 microns, and 150 microns were associated with survival probabilities of 30%, 53%, and 70%, respectively. Second, the fate of the injured cells was definitely established 24 hours after injury and very likely was determined as early as 2 hours. Third, early stages of deterioration leading to cell death were associated with cytoplasmic phase brightness on light microscopy, correlating with an appearance of numerous, small, electron-lucent vacuoles and swollen mitochondria on electron microscopy. The cytoplasm of these moribund cells stained darkly and contained no visible microtubules or neurofilaments. Fourth, the magnitude and time course of injury potentials recorded at the somata were a function of the lesion distance and did not return to prelesion levels within 30 minutes after transection. Fifth, at 24 hours after injury, the average membrane potential of lesioned neurons was 8% below that of control neurons. Sixth, at a lesion distance of approximately 300 microns both the injury potential and the probability of cell death approach zero. We conclude that, in the model system used, neuronal survival after dendrite amputation depends on physical parameters of the lesion that determine the magnitude of the injury current reaching the soma. Survival is not assured if the injury is inflicted within 250 microns of the cell body, and cell death is likely for lesions within 50 microns of the soma. The below-normal membrane potentials at 24 hours after injury suggest a possible greater vulnerability of recovering neurons to secondary insults. The characteristic mitochondrial disruption and loss of microtubules implies that the calcium component of the injury current contributes to cell death.

Abstract
NAD(P)+-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria in a high-sucrose medium is irreversible and is accompanied by large-amplitude mitochondrial swelling and membrane damage. If sucrose is partially replaced by polyethylene glycol (Mr approximately equal to 1000) as osmolar supporting medium, Ca2+ efflux is still stimulated by NAD(P)+ but mitochondrial swelling is eliminated. Other experiments in a high-sucrose medium showed that the lag phase between NAD(P)H oxidation and the beginning of net Ca2+ efflux decreases with increasing temperature. At 37 degrees C Ca2+ efflux precedes mitochondrial swelling, even in a high-sucrose medium, showing that the mitochondrial damage, as reflected by large-amplitude swelling, is not obligatory for Ca2+ efflux induced by the oxidized state of mitochondrial NAD(P)+. If a high-sucrose medium is supplemented with 20 mM potassium acetate, longer periods of Ca2+ release can be observed before the appearance of swelling. Under these experimental conditions the release of Ca2+ can be completely reversed if the rereduction of NAD(P)+ is brought about by the addition of the reductants beta-hydroxybutyrate and isocitrate.

Abstract
NAD(P)+-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria is inhibited by bongkrekate and slightly stimulated by carboxyatractylate. Addition of oxaloacetate, an NAD(P) oxidant, or diamide, a thiol oxidant, to de-energized mitochondria incubated in Ca2+ -free medium induced a small decrease in turbidity of the mitochondrial suspension compatible with small structural changes of mitochondria. Similar to NADP+-stimulated Ca2+ efflux these changes were also inhibited by bongkrekate and slightly stimulated by carboxyatractylate. The similarity between the effects of oxaloacetate and diamide, on both Ca2+ efflux and mitochondrial structure, indicates the existence of a common denominator, possibly the oxidation of specific thiol groups, regarding the mechanism by which these agents stimulate Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria.

Abstract
At high K+ concentration, the effect of phosphate on Ca2+ uptake and release was studied in isolated rat liver mitochondria. Phosphate stimulated uptake at moderately high Ca2+ concentration, and inhibited release at high pH. At low pH, phosphate accelerated Ca2+ release. Ca2+ was released after a lag phase. The time of onset and the velocity of Ca2+ release depended on Ca2+ concentration. Ca2+ release was associated with mitochondrial swelling and destruction of the permeability barrier for sucrose and for chloride. Mg2+ inhibited Ca2+ release and the accompanying events. Ruthenium red and EGTA protected mitochondria from the destructive Ca2+ release and induced an immediate, slow release of Ca2+ and phosphate. Destructive Ca2+ release depended on the time of preincubation of respiration-inhibited mitochondria in the presence of Ca2+, prior to respiration-initiated Ca2+ uptake. The presence of phosphate and mitochondrial energization antagonized the destructive effect of calcium ions. Ca2+ release by acetoacetate also depended on pH. At pH 6.8, phosphate-stimulated Ca2+ release by acetoacetate, while it inhibited the acetoacetate effect at pH 7.6. The results suggest that an essential cause for the destruction of mitochondrial integrity is an increase in the intramitochondrial concentration of free calcium ions under the influence of phosphate.

Abstract
The effect of Sr2+ on the set point for external Ca2+ was studied in rat heart and liver mitochondria with the aid of a Ca2+-sensitive electrode. In respiring mitochondria the set point is determined by the rates of Ca2+ influx on the Ca2+ uniporter and efflux by various mechanisms. We studied the Ca2+-Na+ exchange pathway in heart mitochondria and the delta psi-modulated efflux pathway in liver mitochondria. Prior accumulation of Sr2+ was found to shift the set points towards lower external Ca2+ both in heart mitochondria under conditions of Ca2+-Na+ exchange and in liver mitochondria under conditions that should promote opening of the delta psi-modulated pathway. The effect on the set point was found to be due to inhibition of Ca2+ efflux by Sr2+ taken up by the mitochondria, while Sr2+ efflux was too slow to be measurable.

Abstract
Ischemia causes a pathological drop in the cellular energy state due to inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The reversibility of this condition depends on the damage to mitochondrial membrane-linked activities during the period of ischemia or during reoxygenation of the tissue. It is likely that the ischemia-induced damage is due to a combination of factors including an increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, a triggering of phospholipase and protease activities, an increase in cellular free fatty acids, and a decrease in pH. Mitochondrial damage that occurs during reperfusion is probably a consequence of excessive mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation under adverse intracellular conditions. Mitochondria normally have an extremely high capacity for sequestering and buffering cytosolic Ca2+. However, during postischemic reperfusion these processes are inhibited due to existing conditions that potentiate Ca2+ uptake-induced irreversible mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
The mechanism through which internal Ca2+ inhibits oxidative phosphorylation of rat heart mitochondria has been explored. In parallel to a Ca2+-induced diminution of the activity of the adenine nucleotide translocator, an efflux of internal adenine nucleotides is observed. The efflux of adenine nucleotides depends on the amount of Ca2+ accumulated by the mitochondria and on the time that Ca2+ remains in the mitochondria; this efflux is atractyloside insensitive. These results suggest that internal Ca2+, by inducing a lowering of the internal concentration of adenine nucleotides, diminishes the rate of exchange of adenine nucleotides via the translocase, and in consequence of oxidative phosphorylation. Under conditions in which the Ca2+-induced release of adenine nucleotides takes place, no gross changes of the permeability properties of the membrane are observed. As revealed by studies with arsenate, respiratory activity and the function of the ATPase in the direction of ATP synthesis are not affected by internal Ca2+.

Abstract
A rapid loss of accumulated Ca2+ is produced by addition of H+ to isolated heart mitochondria. The H+-dependent Ca+ efflux requires that either (a) the NAD(P)H pool of the mitochondrion be oxidized, or (b) the endogenous adenine nucleotides be depleted. The loss of Ca2+ is accompanied by swelling and loss of endogenous Mg2+. The rate of H+-dependent Ca2+ efflux depends on the amount of Ca2+ and Pi taken up and the extent of the pH drop imposed. In the absence of ruthenium red the H+-induced Ca2+-efflux is partially offset by a spontaneous re-accumulation of released Ca2+. The H+-induced Ca2+ efflux is inhibited when the Pi transporter is blocked with N-ethylmaleimide, is strongly opposed by oligomycin and exogenous adenine nucleotides (particularly ADP), and inhibited by nupercaine. The H+-dependent Ca2+ efflux is decreased markedly when Na+ replaces the K+ of the suspending medium or when the exogenous K+/H+ exchanger nigericin is present. These results suggest that the H+-dependent loss of accumulated Ca2+ results from relatively nonspecific changes in membrane permeability and is not a reflection of a Ca2+/H+ exchange reaction.
