Abstract
The impact of PM2.5 from diesel exhaust (termed as diesel particulate matter (DPM)) on ischemia re-oxygenation (IR) injury and the consequent effect of fisetin to attenuate this injury remains unclear. IR was induced in H9c2 cells after 24 hrs of fisetin treatment. The cells when incubated with 100 µg/mL of DPM followed by IR, induced 60% cell death which was escalated to 78% with DPM exposure. Fisetin significantly attenuated IR induced cytotoxicity, improved mitochondrial activity and reduced oxidative stress in normal cells but failed to render protection against IR in presence of DPM. Isolated mitochondria experiment confirmed the mitotoxic effect of DPM. Immunoblot analysis established the failure of fisetin to activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Based on the above observations, we concluded that fisetin mediated protection against IR was abrogated with DPM exposure due to augmented mitochondrial dysfunction and inactivation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Timely reperfusion is considered an optimal treatment for AMI. Paradoxically, the procedure of reperfusion can itself cause myocardial tissue injury. Therefore, a strategy to minimize the reperfusion-induced myocardial tissue injury is vital for salvaging the healthy myocardium. Herein, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of fisetin, a natural flavonoid, against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (IRI) using a Langendorff isolated heart perfusion system. I/R produced significant myocardial tissue injury, which was characterized by elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in the perfusate and decreased indices of hemodynamic parameters. Furthermore, I/R resulted in elevated oxidative stress, uncoupling of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, increased mitochondrial swelling, a decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and induction of apoptosis. Moreover, IRI was associated with a loss of the mitochondrial structure and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis. However, when the animals were pretreated with fisetin, it significantly attenuated the I/R-induced myocardial tissue injury, blunted the oxidative stress, and restored the structure and function of mitochondria. Mechanistically, the fisetin effects were found to be mediated via inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which was confirmed by a biochemical assay and molecular docking studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vascular calcification (VC) is an impact of calcium accumulation in end-stage renal diseases, normally initiated in the mitochondria. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is effective in rescuing mitochondrial function in the neurovascular complications associated with VC, but has limitation in protecting the cardiac mitochondria. However, the STS efficacy in restoring the renal mitochondrial function has not been studied, which is the primary focus of this study. METHODS Wistar rats (n = 6/group) were administered 0.75 % adenine in the diet for 28 days to induce renal failure. STS (400 mg/kg) was given in two regimens STS_Pre (preventive: along with adenine for 28 days) and STS_Cur (curative: 29th to 49th day). Renal failure was assessed by plasma and urinary markers. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed from oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial physiology and enzymology in the renal tissue. RESULTS 0.75 % adenine diet caused renal medullary swelling, tubular interstitial nephropathy and impaired renal function (creatinine, urea, uric acid and ALP), which were recovered after STS treatment. The renal failure was due to oxidative stress as measured by elevated malondialdehyde (29 %) and lowered reduced glutathione (27 %) levels. STS reduced the lipid peroxidation and significantly (p < 0.05) elevated the antioxidant enzymes. Further, it improved renal mitochondrial respiratory capacity by maintaining the hyperpolarized membrane potential and restored the complex enzyme activities. Absence of renal DNA fragmentation supports the above findings. CONCLUSION STS protects the kidney by preserving renal mitochondria, in experimental adenine-induced vascular calcified rats. The efficacy was prominent when given after induction, i.e., in STS_Cur group.

Abstract
Cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to be the main manifestation in the pathology of ischemia reperfusion injury, and by restoring its functional activity, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a novel endogenous gaseotransmitter renders cardioprotection. Given that interfibrillar (IFM) and subsarcolemmal (SSM) mitochondria are the two main types in the heart, the present study investigates the specific H2S-mediated action on IFM and SSM during ischemic reperfusion in the Langendorff rat heart model. Rats were randomly divided into five groups, namely normal, ischemic control, reperfusion control (I/R), ischemic post-conditioning (POC), and H2S post-conditioning (POC_H2S). In reperfusion control, cardiac contractility decreased, and lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and infracted size increased compared to both normal and ischemic group. In hearts post-conditioned with H2S and the classical method improved cardiac mechanical function and decreased cardiac markers in the perfusate and infarct size significantly. Both POC and POC_H2S exerts its cardioprotective effect of preserving the IFM, as evident by significant improvement in electron transport chain enzyme activities and mitochondrial respiration. The in vitro action of H2S on IFM and SSM from normal and I/R rat heart supports H2S and mediates cardioprotection via IFM preservation. Our study indicates that IFM play an important role in POC_H2S mediated cardioprotection from reperfusion injury.

Abstract
In this study, we compared the impact of H2S pre (HIPC) and post-conditioning (HPOC) on oxidative stress, the prime reason for myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R), in different compartments of the myocardium, such as the mitochondria beside its subpopulations (interfibrillar (IFM) and subsarcolemmal (SSM) mitochondria) and microsomal fractions in I/R injured rat heart. The results demonstrated that compared to I/R rat heart, HIPC and HPOC treated hearts shows reduced myocardial injury, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced the level of TBARS in different cellular compartments. The extent of recovery (measured by TBARS and GSH levels) in subcellular fractions, were in the following descending order: microsome > SSM > IFM in both HIPC and HPOC. In summary, oxidative stress mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, one of the primary causes for I/R injury, was partly recovered by HIPC and HPOC treatment, with significant improvement in SSM fraction compared to the IFM.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease encompasses a spectrum of liver diseases, including simple steatosis, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is currently the most dominant chronic liver disease in Western countries due to the fact that hepatic steatosis is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome and drug-induced injury. A variety of chemicals, mainly drugs, and diets is known to cause hepatic steatosis in humans and rodents. Experimental non-alcoholic fatty liver disease models rely on the application of a diet or the administration of drugs to laboratory animals or the exposure of hepatic cell lines to these drugs. More recently, genetically modified rodents or zebrafish have been introduced as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease models. Considerable interest now lies in the discovery and development of novel non-invasive biomarkers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, with specific focus on hepatic steatosis. Experimental diagnostic biomarkers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, such as (epi)genetic parameters and '-omics'-based read-outs are still in their infancy, but show great promise. In this paper, the array of tools and models for the study of liver steatosis is discussed. Furthermore, the current state-of-art regarding experimental biomarkers such as epigenetic, genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabonomic biomarkers will be reviewed.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence clearly identifies chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a major risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Among the mechanisms that have been implicated in the pro-carcinogenic effect of HCV infection, an increased production of reactive oxygen species in the liver seems to have a major pathogenetic role in leading from chronic inflammation to cancer. Recent data have also demonstrated that HCV is capable of inducing this active production of free radicals per se, not just through inflammation, a feature peculiar to this virus and the specific activity of its core protein. This paper provides an overview of the inter-relationships between HCV, liver damage, free radical production and HCC, describing at least in part the complex network involving DNA oxidative damage, cytokine synthesis, proto-oncogene activation and oestrogen receptor expression, that may all be deeply involved in liver carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Reye syndrome is an extremely rare but severe and often fatal disease. Death occurs in about 30-40% of cases from brainstem dysfunction. The disease typically is preceded by a viral infection with an intermediate disease-free interval of 3-5 days. The biochemical explanation for Reye-like symptoms is a generalized disturbance in mitochondrial metabolism, eventually resulting in metabolic failure in the liver and other tissues. The etiology of 'classical' Reye syndrome is unknown. Hypothetically, the syndrome may result from an unusual response to the preceding viral infection, which is determined by host genetic factors but can be modified by a variety of exogenous agents. Thus, several infections and diseases might present clinically with Reye-like symptoms. Exogenous agents involve a number of toxins, drugs (including aspirin [acetylsalicylic acid]), and other chemicals. The 'rise and fall' in the incidence of Reye syndrome is still poorly understood and unexplained. With a few exceptions, there were probably no new Reye-like diseases reported during the last 10 years that could not be explained by an inherited disorder of metabolism or a misdiagnosis. This may reflect scientific progress in the better understanding of cellular and molecular dysfunctions as disease-determining factors. Alternatively, the immune response to and the virulence of a virus might have changed by alteration of its genetic code. The suggestion of a defined cause-effect relationship between aspirin intake and Reye syndrome in children is not supported by sufficient facts. Clearly, no drug treatment is without side effects. Thus, a balanced view of whether treatment with a certain drug is justified in terms of the benefit/risk ratio is always necessary. Aspirin is no exception.

Abstract
The immune system modulates a number of biological processes to properly defend against pathogens. Here, we review how crosstalk between nuclear hormone receptors and the innate immune system may influence multiple biological functions during an immune response. Although nuclear hormone receptor repression of innate immune responses and inflammation has been well studied, a number of new studies have identified repression of nuclear hormone receptor signaling by various innate immune responses. IFN regulatory factor 3, a key transcription factor involved in the induction of antiviral genes, may play a role in mediating such crosstalk between the innate immune response and nuclear receptor-regulated metabolism. This crosstalk mechanism is now implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and Reye's syndrome and could provide an explanation for other pathogen-associated metabolic and developmental disorders.

Abstract
Viral infections and antiviral responses have been linked to several metabolic diseases, including Reye's syndrome, which is aspirin-induced hepatotoxicity in the context of a viral infection. We identify an interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3)-dependent but type I interferon-independent pathway that strongly inhibits the expression of retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha) and suppresses the induction of its downstream target genes, including those involved in hepatic detoxification. Activation of IRF3 by viral infection in vivo greatly enhances bile acid- and aspirin-induced hepatotoxicity. Our results provide a critical link between the innate immune response and host metabolism, identifying IRF3-mediated down-regulation of RXRalpha as a molecular mechanism for pathogen-associated metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The interaction of salicylate with the respiratory chain of liver mitochondria generates hydrogen peroxide and, most probably, other reactive oxygen species, which in turn oxidize thiol groups and glutathione. This oxidative stress, confirmed by the prevention of action by antioxidant agents, leads to the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition in the presence of Ca2+. This phenomenon induces further increase of oxidative damage resulting in impairment of oxidative phosphorylation and beta-oxidation, cardinal features of Reye's syndrome in the liver. Mitochondrial permeability transition induction also induces the release of cytochrome c and apoptotic inducing factor from mitochondria, suggesting that salicylate also behaves as a pro-apoptotic agent. The reactive group of salicylate for inducing oxidative stress is the hydroxyl group which, by interacting with a Fe-S cluster of mitochondrial Complex I, the so-called N-2(Fe-S) center, produces reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
The ability of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to induce Ca(2+)-mediated/cyclosporin A-sensitive mitochondrial membrane permeability transition (MMPT) was evaluated by monitoring swelling of isolated rat renal cortex mitochondria in the presence of 20 microM CaCl2. Dipyrone and paracetamol did not induce MMPT, while piroxicam and acetylsalicylic acid (and its metabolite salicylate) were poor inducers. In contrast, diclofenac sodium and mefenamic acid were potent triggering agents, inducing MMPT at 2 microM, a concentration below those previously shown to uncouple and/or inhibit oxidative phosphorylation. When compared to salicylate, a classical uncoupler and inducer of MMPT, the potency of diclofenac sodium and mefenamic acid was about 50-fold greater. Swelling was completely prevented by EGTA, cyclosporin A, or MgCl2, and only partially by ADP or dithiothreitol. Under the same experimental conditions as for the swelling assays, the drugs depressed the membrane potential of mitochondria, an effect prevented by cyclosporin A and restored by EGTA. Also, the drugs did not induce membrane lipid peroxidation or changes in GSSG levels, but led to a small decrease in protein thiol content, as well as to a substantial decrease in the NADPH levels of mitochondria. Hence, membrane depolarization and pyridine nucleotide oxidation seem to be involved in MMPT induction by these NSAIDs. The potency in eliciting the process, like the uncoupling activity, seems to be influenced by the lipophilic character of the molecules.

Abstract
Mitochondria in primary living hepatocytes were visualized in cells transfected with a chimeric plasmid encoding for the green fluorescent protein (GFP) of Aequorea victoria engineered to be specifically targeted to mitochondria, as described recently (Rizutto et al. (1995) Curr. Biol. 5, 635-642). The identification of the fluorescent organelles as authentic mitochondria was confirmed by double labeling with rhodamine 123. Acetylsalicylate treatment of hepatocytes induced in mitochondria typical morphological alterations closely analogous to the swelling promoted by acetylsalicylate in isolated mitochondria. Cyclosporin A, which in isolated mitochondria prevents the changes induced by acetylsalicylate, had no protective action but induced per se specific alterations in the morphology of mitochondria. Moreover, exposure of hepatocytes to cyclosporin A followed by acetylsalicylate caused the same mitochondrial changes induced by each of the two compounds separately. The structural alterations caused by acetylsalicylate were constantly associated with a decrease in mitochondrial urea synthesis and cell viability.

Abstract
The alterations in rat liver mitochondria induced by acetylsalicylate in the presence of low concentrations of Ca2+ (large amplitude swelling, permeability to 14C]sucrose, collapse of transmembrane potential and effluxes of endogenous Mg2+ and accumulated Ca2+) were fully prevented by either cyclosporin A or Mg2+. Cyclosporin A and Mg2+ were also capable of restoring transmembrane potential upon its decrease induced by acetylsalicylate. The loss of endogenous Mg2+ was the primary effect promoted by acetylsalicylate; the other noxious effects followed. These results indicate that Mg2+ are fundamental components of the mitochondrial permeability barrier and that their loss might be responsible for the membrane transition induced by acetylsalicylate.

Abstract
Severe and prolonged impairment of mitochondrial beta-oxidation leads to microvesicular steatosis, and, in severe forms, to liver failure, coma and death. Impairment of mitochondrial beta-oxidation may be either genetic or acquired, and different causes may add their effects to inhibit beta-oxidation severely and trigger the syndrome. Drugs and some endogenous compounds can sequester coenzyme A and/or inhibit mitochondrial beta-oxidation enzymes (aspirin, valproic acid, tetracyclines, several 2-arylpropionate anti-inflammatory drugs, amineptine and tianeptine); they may inhibit both mitochondrial beta-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation (endogenous bile acids, amiodarone, perhexiline and diethylaminoethoxyhexestrol), or they may impair mitochondrial DNA transcription (interferon-alpha), or decrease mitochondrial DNA replication (dideoxynucleoside analogues), while other compounds (ethanol, female sex hormones) act through a combination of different mechanisms. Any investigational molecule should be screened for such effects.

Abstract
Although it has been suggested that acetylsalicylate (ASA)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Reye's syndrome, administration of ASA alone does not cause this syndrome in therapeutic doses. We noted, however, that Ca2+ plays important roles in the regulation of cellular functions. ASA at concentrations of 250 microM or less, which had little effect on succinate-linked respiration, impaired Ca2+ accumulation in liver mitochondria by causing an increase in Ca2+ release. ASA plus Ca2+, which in concentrations of 150 microM or less alone had little effect on mitochondrial respiration, inhibited state 3 respiration and dinitrophenol-induced uncoupling of respiration. In addition, ASA plus Ca2+ increased state 4 respiration and ATPase activity. These results indicate that ASA plus Ca2+ impaired mitochondrial ATP synthesis, and suggest that ASA and ASA-induced Ca2+ increases in cytosol form a vicious circle of effects. Furthermore, oral administration of ASA (150 mg/kg for 5 days running) to rats did not affect mitochondrial structure or liver function, but resulted in aberrations of mitochondrial respiration. These results suggest that even therapeutic doses of ASA may induce alteration in mitochondrial function.

Abstract
The rapid mitochondrial uptake of calcium followed by slow release in certain pathophysiological states associated with an increase in intracellular calcium, to normalize the cytoplasmic levels of free calcium, provides an important protective mechanism against calcium cellular toxicity. Salicylic acid, an in vivo metabolite of aspirin, inhibits the uptake and enhances the release of calcium by mitochondria, thereby increasing the levels of cytoplasmic free calcium. The Ca2+ induced mitochondrial swelling is enhanced in the presence of salicylic acid and in which turn leads to loss of biosynthesis of ATP. These results suggest that salicylic acid may promote cellular damage in pathophysiological states associated with increase in intracellular free calcium.

Abstract
Liver function tests, including serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, serum proteins, blood ammonia levels and intravenous glucose utilization, were monitored in 50 children with acute rheumatic fever receiving anti-rheumatic doses of aspirin. There was a significant increase in blood ammonia levels and serum ALT after aspirin therapy. A significant fall in glucose utilization coefficient was also recorded. Serum alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and total proteins did not change significantly. Twenty-two of the 50 children recorded a rise in serum ALT; in 12, the rise was five- to tenfold. These 12 children developed adverse symptoms to aspirin. Also, all had a marked rise in blood ammonia levels. The children improved clinically and biochemically on withdrawal of aspirin. There was no constant relationship between hepatocellular function and serum salicylate levels.

Abstract
Rat microsomes and mitochondria were isolated and incubated with selected pharmaceutical organic anions at concentrations of 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2 mM. Activity of palmitoyl CoA hydrolase (PCAH) was shown to be reduced in a dose-dependent manner in microsomes by ibuprofen, valproate, acetyl salicylate, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D), and 4-pentenoate, but not salicylate. Mitochondrial PCAH activity was inhibited by clofibrate, ibuprofen, valproate, and 2,4-D. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was impaired or uncoupled by each of the mitochondrial PCAH inhibitors. The inhibition of PCAH by some of these agents may lead to fatty acyl CoA accumulation. Very low concentrations of fatty acyl CoA are known to cause mitochondrial uncoupling and increase permeability. This action may play a role in the mitochondrial injury caused by some of these agents or related disease processes.

Abstract
Reye's syndrome is a hepatic encephalopathy with fatty infiltration of the liver and is due to mitochondrial dysfunction. Knowledge of the mechanisms causing Reye's syndrome has been gained from the study of Reye's syndrome-like diseases, including inborn errors of mitochondrial energy production, viral disease and toxicological injury. Entry of fatty acids into mitochondria or beta-oxidation itself may be impaired. Toxins such as hypoglycin, pentanoate, valproate, salicylate, and their metabolites inhibit beta-oxidation pathways and can produce Reye's syndrome-like presentations. Biochemical manifestations of the diverse causes of Reye's syndrome-like disorders are similar and include: hypoglycaemia due to impaired gluconeogenesis, accumulation of fatty acids, fatty acyl CoAs, and acyl carnitines with depletion of free CoA and carnitine. Accumulated products may further injure mitochondria and exacerbate impaired beta-oxidation, uncouple oxidative phosphorylation or increase mitochondrial permeability. Mitochondrial swelling and steatosis of hepatic cells are the histological result. With the advances of biochemical techniques for the study of organic acid excretion patterns, serum fatty acid patterns and identification of enzymatic deficiencies in cells from patients with Reye's syndrome-like presentations, it is clear that Reye's syndrome is, in part, a collection of various inborn errors and toxicological states. Circumstances such as viral disease, prolonged fasting and drugs may precipitate clinical expression of these deficiencies as Reye's syndrome. As work progresses, further causes of Reye's syndrome will be identified.

Abstract
Phospholipase A2 extracted from the acetone powder of previously frozen rat liver mitochondria is strongly inhibited compared to the activity manifest before acetone powder preparation. Activity is substantially recovered upon partial purification of the enzyme by gel filtration chromatography. Inhibitor activity elutes in the void volume from the column and is obtained in the chloroform layer when void volume fractions are subjected to a Folch extraction. Structural studies support the inhibitor being monolysocardiolipin. Under the assay conditions employed, 1 molecule of the inhibitor per 5000 substrate molecules or 40 nM on a nominal concentration basis is I50 for the mitochondrial enzyme. The agent is similarly effective against pancreatic and snake venom phospholipases A2. Monolysocardiolipin and dilysocardiolipin prepared enzymatically from bovine heart cardiolipin are less potent than the material arising from rat liver cardiolipin by factors of 10- and 30-fold, respectively, yet are still highly potent compared to the other known inhibitors of this enzyme. Differences in acyl group composition, in the degree of acyl group oxidation, or in structural isomerism between the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the lyso compounds may account for the difference in potency between the materials derived from rat liver and bovine heart.

Abstract
Allantoin in the presence of calcium ions has been implicated as a potential toxic agent in Reye's syndrome. An investigation of possible alternative sources of allantoin in humans, which lack the enzyme uricase, has been initiated. Urate is a strong reducing agent which can reduce cytochrome c nonenzymatically, with the concomitant production of CO2 and H+. The stoichiometries measured for the various reactants and products were 1 urate:2 cytochrome c:1 H+:1 CO2. The initial reaction rate depended on the concentrations of both urate and cytochrome c, with reaction kinetics that were first order with respect to urate and second order with respect to cytochrome c. The participation of molecular oxygen in this reaction could not be detected. The pH and ionic strength optima for this reaction were determined to be 9.5-10.5 and 10(-5) M, respectively. Based on the results reported here, the following balanced equation can be written: urate-2 + 2 cytochrome c+3 + 2 H2O----allantoin + 2 cytochrome c+2 + H+ + HCO3-. We propose that allantoin can be generated from the oxidation of urate by cytochrome c+3, and that this is a potential source of allantoin in human tissues.
