Abstract
Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) are a pulsed power technology known for ablating tumors, but they also modulate diverse biological mechanisms. Here we show that nsPEFs regulate trans-plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET) rates in the plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) shown as a reduction of the cell-impermeable, WST-8 tetrazolium dye. At lower charging conditions, nsPEFs enhance, and at higher charging conditions inhibit tPMET in H9c2 non-cancerous cardiac myoblasts and 4T1-luc breast cancer cells. This biphasic nsPEF-induced modulation of tPMET is typical of a hormetic stimulus that is beneficial and stress-adaptive at lower levels and damaging at higher levels. NsPEFs also attenuated mitochondrial electron transport system (ETS) activity (O2 consumption) at Complex I when coupled and uncoupled to oxidative phosphorylation. NsPEFs generated more reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria (mROS) than in the cytosol (cROS) in non-cancer H9c2 heart cells but more cROS than mROS in 4T1-luc cancer cells. Under lower charging conditions, nsPEFs support glycolysis while under higher charging conditions, nsPEFs inhibit electron transport in the PMRS and the mitochondrial ETS producing ROS, ultimately causing cell death. The impact of nsPEF on ETS presents a new paradigm for considering nsPEF modulation of redox functions, including redox homeostasis and metabolism.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common human malignancies, and its prevalence has been shown to be well-correlated with cancer-related deaths worldwide. Regrettably, the poor prognosis of this disease is mainly due to its late diagnosis at advanced stages after the cancer has already metastasized. Recent research has emphasized the identification of cancer biomarkers in the hope of diagnosing cancer early and designing targeted therapies to reverse cancer progression. One member of a family of growth-related nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH or hydroquinone) oxidases is tumor-associated NADH oxidase (tNOX; ENOX2). Unlike its counterpart CNOX (ENOX1), identified in normal rat liver plasma membranes and shown to be stimulated by growth factors and hormones, tNOX activity purified from rat hepatoma cells is constitutively active. Its activity is detectable in the sera of cancer patients but not in those of healthy volunteers, suggesting its clinical relevance. Interestingly, tNOX expression was shown to be present in an array of cancer cell lines. More importantly, inhibition of tNOX was well correlated with reduced cancer cell growth and induction of apoptosis. RNA interference targeting tNOX expression in cancer cells effectively restored non-cancerous phenotypes, further supporting the vital role of tNOX in cancer cells. Here, we review the regulatory role of tNOX in gastric cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Cancer chemoprevention is employed to block or reverse the progression of malignancies. To date, several thousands of agents have been found to possess chemopreventative activity, one of which is capsaicin, a component of chili peppers that exhibits antigrowth activity against various cancer cell lines. However, the role of capsaicin in tumorigenesis remains controversial because both cancer prevention and promotion have been proposed. Here, we made the unexpected discovery that treatment with low concentrations of capsaicin up-regulates tNOX (tumor-associated NADH oxidase) expression in HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells in association with enhanced cell proliferation and migration, as evidenced by down-regulation of epithelial markers and up-regulation of mesenchymal markers. Importantly, tNOX-knockdown in HCT116 cells by RNA interference reversed capsaicin-induced cell proliferation and migration in vitro and decreased tumor growth in vivo. Collectively, these findings provide a basis for explaining the tumor-promoting effect of capsaicin and might imply that caution should be taken when using capsaicin as a chemopreventive agent.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common human malignancy and a major contributor to cancer-related deaths worldwide. Unfortunately, the prognosis of most gastric cancer patients is poor because they are generally diagnosed at a late stage after the cancer has already metastasized. Most current research, therefore, emphasizes selective targeting of cancer cells by apoptosis-inducing agents. One such therapeutic agent is capsaicin, a component of chili peppers that has been shown to possess anti-growth activity against various cancer cell lines. Here, we examined the effect of capsaicin on SNU-1 and TMC-1 gastric cancer cells and found differing outcomes between the two cell lines. Our results show that capsaicin induced significant cytotoxicity with increases in oxidative stress, PARP cleavage, and apoptosis in sensitive SNU-1 cells. In contrast, TMC-1 cells were much less sensitive to capsaicin, exhibiting low cytotoxicity and very little apoptosis in response to capsaicin treatment. Capsaicin-induced apoptosis in SNU-1 cells was associated with down-regulation of tumor-associated NADH oxidase (tNOX) mRNA and protein. On the contrary, tNOX expression was scarcely affected by capsaicin in TMC-1 cells. We further showed that tNOX-knockdown sensitized TMC-1 cells to capsaicin-induced apoptosis and G1 phase accumulation, and led to decreased cell growth, demonstrating that tNOX is essential for cancer cell growth. Collectively, these results indicate that capsaicin induces divergent effects of the growth of gastric cancer cells that parallel its effects on tNOX expression, and demonstrate that forced tNOX down-regulation restored capsaicin-induced growth inhibition in TMC-1 cells.

Abstract
The key role of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone or Q) is in mitochondrial and prokaryotic energetics. Less well investigated is the basis for its presence in eukaryotic membrane locations other than mitochondria and in plasma where both antioxidant and potentially more targeted roles are indicated. Included in the latter is that of a lipid-soluble electron transfer intermediate that serves as the transmembrane component of plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus electron transport, which regulates cytosolic NAD(+) /NADH ratios and is involved in vectorial membrane displacements and in the regulation of cell growth. Important protective effects on circulating lipoproteins and in the prevention of coronary artery disease ensue not only from the antioxidant role of CoQ(10) but also from its ability to directly block protein oxidation and superoxide generation of the TM-9 family of membrane proteins known as age-related NADH oxidase or arNOX (ENOX3) and their shed forms that appear after age 30 and some of which associate specifically with low-density lipoprotein particles to catalyze protein oxidation and crosslinking.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is one of the most frequent causes of cardiac arrest. The major cause of this disease is high concentrations of lipid in the blood. Medicinal agents so far have been quite successful in the management of hyperlipidemia. Among the several widely used drugs, (fibrates, statins and niacin) statins are the most frequently prescribed in many forms of hyperlipidemia. Recently, statins have been found to produce serious toxicities, which are rare but can be potentially harmful and are noise concern for the immediate need to develop some new chemical entities in this category. This review is primarily concerned with recent developments in atherosclerotic drug discovery including novel inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis, cholesterol absorption inhibitors and antioxidants. The review also focuses on possible future targets including gene therapy.

Abstract
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) has long been proposed as leading to random deleterious modification of macromolecules with an associated progressive development of age associated systemic disease. ROS and RNS formation has been posited as a major contributor to the aging process. On the contrary, this review presents evidence that superoxide anion (and hydrogen peroxide) and nitric oxide (and peroxynitrite) constitute regulated prooxidant second messenger systems, with specific sub-cellular locales of production and are essential for normal metabolome and physiological function. The role of these second messengers in the regulation of the metabolome is discussed in terms of radical formation as an essential contributor to the physiologically normal regulation of sub-cellular bioenergy systems; proteolysis regulation; transcription activation; enzyme activation; mitochondrial DNA changes; redox regulation of metabolism and cell differentiation; the concept that orally administered small molecule antioxidant therapy is a chimera. The formation of superoxide anion/hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide do not conditionally lead to random macromolecular damage; under normal physiological conditions their production is actually regulated consistent with their second messenger roles.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 plays a central role in cellular bioenergy generation and its regulation. Closed membrane systems generate a proton motive force to create transient localized bio-capacitors; the captured energy is used for the synthesis of mitochondrial ATP but also for many other processes, such as metabolite translocations, nerve conduction and a host of other bioenergy requiring processes. Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in many of these sub-cellular membrane energy generating systems. Integral to this phenomenon is the prooxidant role of coenzyme Q10 in generating the major superoxide anion/hydrogen peroxide second messenger system. This messenger system, largely but not exclusively, arises from coenzyme Q10 semiquinone function; it contributes to the regulation of sub-cellular redox potential levels; transcription/gene expression control; is essential for modulated protein turnover and activation; mediates hormone and growth factor extracellular signaling. The regulated prooxidant formation of the superoxide anion/H2O2 second messenger system is essential for the normal physiological function of the metabolome. The normally functioning metabolome is the expression of a finely tuned dynamic equilibrium comprised of thousands of anabolic and catabolic reactions and all cellular signaling systems must be finely regulated. There is still much to be learnt about the up/down regulation of the H2O2 messenger system. The concept that superoxide anion/H2O2 cause random macromolecular damage is rebutted. The administration of antioxidants to quench the inferred toxicity of these compounds as a therapy for age associated diseases is unsupported by extant mammalian clinical trials and should be subject to serious re-evaluation. The role of ascorbic acid as a beneficial hydrogen peroxide prodrug is discussed.

Abstract
In this review we summarise the current state of knowledge of the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of action of CoQ(10) in cardiovascular disease. Our conclusions are: 1. There is promising evidence of a beneficial effect of CoQ(10) when given alone or in addition to standard therapies in hypertension and in heart failure, but less extensive evidence in ischemic heart disease. 2. Large scale multi-centre prospective randomised trials are indicated in all these areas but there are difficulties in funding such trials. 3. Presently, due to the notable absence of clinically significant side effects and likely therapeutic benefit, CoQ(10) can be considered a safe adjunct to standard therapies in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells display a plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) that transfers electrons from intracellular substrates to extracellular electron acceptors. The physiologic importance of PMRS is still not fully understood. The authors have carried out studies to determine the activity of PMRS in human erythrocytes as a function of age and correlate the activity with total plasma antioxidant capacity in an effort to understand the role of PMRS in human aging. The study was carried out on 80 normal healthy subjects of both genders between the ages of 18 and 85 years. The activity of erythrocyte PMRS was estimated by following the reduction of ferricyanide. The total antioxidant capacity of the plasma was estimated in terms of Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) values. A significant (p < 0.0001) positive correlation (r = 0.7797) is observed between PMRS activity of erythrocytes and human age. There is an age-dependent decrease in total plasma antioxidant capacity measured in terms of FRAP values. A highly significant correlation is observed between PMRS activity and plasma FRAP values. The authors hypothesize that the increased PMRS in erythrocytes during aging may be a protective mechanism of the system for efficient extracellular DHA reduction and ascorbate recycling under condition of increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mitochondria-deficient cells (rho(o) cells) survive through enhanced glycolytic metabolism in the presence of pyruvate and uridine. The plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) contains several NAD(P)H-related enzymes and plays a key role in maintaining the levels of NAD(+)/NADH and reduced coenzyme Q. In this study, rho(o) cells were used to investigate how the PMRS is regulated under conditions of mitochondrial dysfunction. rho(o) cells exhibited a lower oxygen consumption rate and higher levels of lactate than parental cells, and were more sensitive to glycolysis inhibitors (2-deoxyglucose and iodoacetamide) than control cells. However, they were more resistant to H(2)O(2), consistent with increased catalase activity and decreased oxidative damage (protein carbonyls and nitrotyrosine). PM-associated redox enzyme activities were enhanced in rho(o) cells compared to those in control cells. Our data suggest that all PMRS enzymes and biomarkers tested are closely related to the ability of the PMs to maintain redox homeostasis. These results illustrate that an up-regulated PM redox activity can protect cells from oxidative stress as a result of an improved antioxidant capacity, and suggest a mechanism by which neurons adapt to conditions of impaired mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Oxidative stress over time leads to the accumulation of damaged macromolecules and to profound physiological changes that are associated with several age-related diseases. The plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) appears to attenuate oxidative stress acting as a compensatory mechanism during the aging process. The PMRS appears to play a protective role during mitochondrial dysfunction to provide cells with a survival mechanism by lowering oxidative stress. The PMRS accomplishes this by producing more NAD(+) for glycolytic ATP production via transfer of electrons from intracellular reducing equivalents to extracelluar acceptors. Ubiquinone and alpha-tocopherol are key antioxidant molecules in the plasma membrane that are affected by aging and can be up-regulated by dietary interventions such as calorie restriction (CR). Up-regulation of PMRS activity leads to cell survival and membrane homeostasis under stress conditions and during calorie restriction. Further studies of the PMRS may provide not only additional information on the mechanisms involved in aging and CR, but may provide therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.

Abstract
Reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (O2*-, H2O2, NO* and ONOO-) have been strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative and mitochondrial diseases. In the present study, we examined the effects of nitrosative and/or nitrative stress generated by DETA-NO {(Z)-1-[2-aminoethyl-N-(2-ammonioethyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate}, SIN-1 (3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride) and SNP (sodium nitroprusside) on U87MG glioblastoma cybrids carrying wt (wild-type) and mutant [A3243G (Ala3243-->Gly)] mtDNA (mitochondrial genome) from a patient suffering from MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes). The mutant cybrids had reduced activity of cytochrome c oxidase, significantly lower ATP level and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. However, endogenous levels of reactive oxygen species were very similar in all cybrids regardless of whether they carried the mtDNA defects or not. Furthermore, the cybrids were insensitive to the nitrosative and/or nitrative stress produced by either DETA-NO or SIN-1 alone. Cytotoxicity, however, was observed in response to SNP treatment and a combination of SIN-1 and glucose-deprivation. The mutant cybrids were significantly more sensitive to these insults compared with the wt controls. Ultrastructural examination of dying cells revealed several characteristic features of autophagic cell death. We concluded that nitrosative and/or nitrative stress alone were insufficient to trigger cytotoxicity in these cells, but cell death was observed with a combination of metabolic and nitrative stress. The vulnerability of the cybrids to these types of injury correlated with the cellular energy status, which were compromised by the MELAS mutation.

Abstract
The neuropathological and clinical symptoms of Huntington's disease (HD) can be simulated in animal model with systemic administration of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP). Energy defects in HD could be ameliorated by administration of coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)), creatine, or nicotinamid. We studied the activity of creatine kinase (CK) and the function of mitochondrial respiratory chain in the brain of aged rats administered with 3-NP with and without previous application of antioxidants CoQ(10)+vitamin E. We used dynamic and steady-state methods of in vivo phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P MRS) for determination of the pseudo-first order rate constant (k(for)) of the forward CK reaction, the phosphocreatine (PCr) to adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) ratio, intracellular pH(i) and Mg(i)(2+) content in the brain. The respiratory chain function of isolated mitochondria was assessed polarographically; the concentration of CoQ(10) and alpha-tocopherol by HPLC. We found significant elevation of k(for) in brains of 3-NP rats, reflecting increased rate of CK reaction in cytosol. The function of respiratory chain in the presence of succinate was severely diminished. The activity of cytochromeoxidase and mitochondrial concentration of CoQ(10) was unaltered; tissue content of CoQ(10) was decreased in 3-NP rats. Antioxidants CoQ(10)+vitamin E prevented increase of k(for) and the decrease of CoQ(10) content in brain tissue, but were ineffective to prevent the decline of respiratory chain function. We suppose that increased activity of CK system could be compensatory to decreased mitochondrial ATP production, and CoQ(10)+vitamin E could prevent the increase of k(for) after 3-NP treatment likely by activity of CoQ(10) outside the mitochondria. Results of our experiments contributed to elucidation of mechanism of beneficial effect of CoQ(10) administration in HD and showed that the rate constant of CK is a sensitive indicator of brain energy disorder reflecting therapeutic effect of drugs that could be used as a new in vivo biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The ascidian Aplidium conicum collected along Sardinia coasts (Italy) contained two novel prenylated benzoquinones, designated thiaplidiaquinone A (1) and thiaplidiaquinone B (2). These compounds showed an unprecedented tetracyclic structure. We have studied the pro-apototic mechanisms of both prenylated benzoquinones in the Jurkat cell line that is derived from a human T lymphoma, and we show that both compounds induce a strong production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this cell line. Moreover, kinetic experiments, comparing the timing of ROS induction with the collapse of the mitochondria potential (DeltaPsi(m)), clearly showed that ROS preceded the disruption of the mitochondrial potential, and the later one paralleled the appearance of apoptotic cells. Thus, thiaplidiaquinones A and B can enter into the cells and induce cell death by apoptosis.

Abstract
Most unexpectedly, there is now increasing evidence that mitochondria have novel and crucial functions in the regulatory machinery of the growth/differentiation transition, cell-type determination, cellular movement and pattern formation. Here we created rho delta cells with a reduced amount (about 1/4) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from Dictyostelium discoideum Ax-2 cells, by exposing Ax-2 cells to ca. 30 microg/ml of ethidium bromide (EtBr) in axenic growth medium. Importantly, the rho delta cells exhibited a series of fascinating behaviors: when they were starved, they showed a marked delay of differentiation and stopped their development at the slug stage, thus failing to construct fruiting bodies. Moreover, cell patterning and cell-type proportioning were found to be greatly modified in slugs (referred to as rho delta slugs) derived from rho delta cells. That is, prestalk differentiation was significantly enhanced in rho delta slugs, while prespore differentiation was markedly inhibited. In addition, the clear anterior prestalk/posterior prespore pattern was considerably disturbed in rho delta slugs, presumably because of incomplete sorting between the two types of differentiated cells. After the assay of phototaxis, rho delta slugs also exhibited highly disordered movement towards the light source. Taken together, these results suggest that mtDNA might have important multiple functions in a variety of cellular processes during Dictyostelium development.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) includes etiologically heterogeneous disorders characterized by senile or presenile dementia, extracellular amyloid protein aggregations containing an insoluble amyloid precursor protein derivative, and intracytoplasmic tau protein aggregations. Recent studies also show excess neuronal aneuploidy, programmed cell death (PCD), and mitochondrial dysfunction. The leading AD molecular paradigm, the "amyloid cascade hypothesis", is based on studies of rare autosomal dominant variants and does not specify what initiates the common late-onset, sporadic form. We propose for late-onset, sporadic AD a "mitochondrial cascade hypothesis" that comprehensively reconciles seemingly disparate histopathologic and pathophysiologic features. In our model, the inherited, gene-determined make-up of an individual's electron transport chain sets basal rates of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which determines the pace at which acquired mitochondrial damage accumulates. Oxidative mitochondrial DNA, RNA, lipid, and protein damage amplifies ROS production and triggers three events: (1) a reset response in which cells respond to elevated ROS by generating the beta-sheet protein, beta amyloid, which further perturbs mitochondrial function, (2) a removal response in which compromised cells are purged via PCD mechanisms, and (3) a replace response in which neuronal progenitors unsuccessfully attempt to re-enter the cell cycle, with resultant aneuploidy, tau phosphorylation, and neurofibrillary tangle formation. In addition to defining a role for aging in AD pathogenesis, the mitochondrial cascade hypothesis also allows and accounts for histopathologic overlap between the sporadic, late-onset and autosomal dominant, early onset forms of the disease.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that voltage dependent anion selective channel~1 (porin, isoform 1) can function as a transplasma membrane NADH:ferricyanide-reductase. However, both the specific redox characteristics and the mechanism of electron transport in this enzyme presently remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that the redox capability of porin 1 is specific for ferricyanide as this same enzyme cannot reduce DCIP or cytochrome c in vitro. Furthermore, NADH-dependent ferricyanide reduction associated with VDAC1 is not sensitive to the anion channel inhibitors DIDS and dextran sulfate. However, this activity can be inhibited by thiol chelators, suggesting that at least one of the two cysteine groups present in VDAC1 are critical for electron transfer. We propose a model on how electron transport may occur in VDAC1.

Abstract
The mammalian plasma membrane (PM) NADH-oxidoreductase (PMOR) system is a multi-enzyme complex located in the plasma membrane of all eukaryotic cells, harboring at least two distinct activities, the plasma membrane NADH-ferricyanide reductase and the NADH-oxidase. To assess the behaviour of the two activities of the PMOR system, we measured the NADH-ferricyanide reductase and NADH-oxidase activities in fibroblast cell lines derived from patients carrying a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) G11778A mutation. We also measured the two activities in other cell lines, the HL-60 and HeLa (S3) lines, as well as in rho0 cells (cells devoid of mtDNA) generated from those lines and the fibroblast cells. These rho0 cells consequently lack oxidative phosphorylation and rely on anaerobic glycolysis for their ATP need. We have proposed that in rho0 cells, at least in part, up-regulation of the PMOR is a necessity to maintain the NAD+/NADH ratio, and a pre-requisite for cell growth and viability. We show here that the PM NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity was up-regulated in HL-AV2 (HL-60 rho0) cell lines, but not in the other rho0 and mtDNA mutant lines. The plasma membrane NADH oxidase activity was found to be up-regulated in both HL-AV2 and HeLa rho0 cell lines, but not significantly in the fibroblast rho0 and G11778A lines.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is present in all cells and membranes and in addition to be a member of the mitochondrial respiratory chain it has also several other functions of great importance for the cellular metabolism. This review summarizes the findings available to day concerning CoQ distribution, biosynthesis, regulatory modifications and its participation in cellular metabolism. There are a number of indications that this lipid is not always functioning by its direct presence at the site of action but also using e.g. receptor expression modifications, signal transduction mechanisms and action through its metabolites. The biosynthesis of CoQ is studied in great detail in bacteria and yeast but only to a limited extent in animal tissues and therefore the informations available is restricted. However, it is known that the CoQ is compartmentalized in the cell with multiple sites of biosynthesis, breakdown and regulation which is the basis of functional specialization. Some regulatory mechanisms concerning amount and biosynthesis are established and nuclear transcription factors are partly identified in this process. Using appropriate ligands of nuclear receptors the biosynthetic rate can be increased in experimental system which raises the possibility of drug-induced upregulation of the lipid in deficiency. During aging and pathophysiological conditions the tissue concentration of CoQ is modified which influences cellular functions. In this case the extent of disturbances is dependent on the localization and the modified distribution of the lipid at cellular and membrane levels.

Abstract
Dichlorophenol indophenol (DCIP) reduction by intracellualr pyridine nucleotides was investigated in two different lines of cultured cells characterized by enhanced production of reacive oxygen species (ROS) with respect to suitable controls. The first line denominated XTC-UC1 was derived from a metastasis of an oxyphilic thyroid tumor characterized by mitochondrial hyperplasia and compared with a line (B-CPAP) derived from a papillary thyroid carcinoma with normal mitochondrial mass. The second line (170 MN) was a cybrid line derived from rho0 cells from an osteosarcoma line (143B) fused with platelets from a patient with a nucleotide 9957 mutation in mitochondrial DNA (encoding for cytochrome c oxidase subunit III) in comparison with the parent 143B line. The experimental lines had no major decreases of electron transfer activities with respect to the controls; both of them, however, exhibited an increased peroxide production. The XTC-UC1 cell line exhibited enhanced activity with respect to control of dicoumarol-sensitive DCIP reduction, identified with membrane bound DT-diaphorase, whereas dicoumarol insensitive DCIP reduction was not significantly changed. On the other hand the mtDNA mutated cybrids exhibited a strong increase of both dicoumarol sensitive and insensitive DCIP reduction. The results suggest that enhanced oxidative stress and not deficient respiratory activity per se is the stimulus triggering over-expression of plasma membrane oxidative enzymes.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and serves as an electron donor and acceptor in mitochondrial energy-linked respiration. CoQ1 was shown to prevent ROS formation and cell death in complex 1 inhibited cells. Low concentrations of capsaicin like CoQ1 inhibited ROS formation but CoQ1 was more effective at restoring the mitochondrial membrane potential collapse caused by complex 1 inhibitors such as rotenone. At low concentrations, capsaicin acts as a CoQ mimic by protecting against rotenone induced ROS formation and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse. Lipid peroxidation in isolated rat hepatocytes induced by cumene hydroperoxide and chloroacetaldehyde was also prevented. At higher concentrations, capsaicin and CoQ1 became cytotoxic. Hep G2 cells were more susceptible than hepatocytes. The cytotoxic mechanism for both capsaicin and CoQ1 was shown to involve a collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential, however, only capsaicin caused ROS formation. The capsaicin side chain was required for capsaicin induced cytotoxicity. The anticancer properties of CoQ1 and capsaicin should prove useful for inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

Abstract
This study was organized by Professor Karl Folkers with the objective of finding derivatives of coenzyme Q which could be more effectively absorbed and would give better biomedical effects. In this series all the compounds are 2,3 dimethoxy, 5 methyl p benzoquinone with modified side chains in the 6 position. The modifications are primarily changes in chain length, unsaturation, methyl groups and addition of terminal phenyl groups. The test system evaluates the growth of serum deficient HL60, 3T3 and HeLa cells in the presence of coenzyme Q10 or coenzyme Q analogs. Short chain coenzyme Q homologues such as coenzyme Q2 give poor growth but compounds with saturated short aliphatic side chains from C10 to C18 produce good growth. Introduction of a single double bond at the 2' or 8' position in the aliphatic chain retains growth stimulation at low concentration but introduces inhibition at higher concentration. Introduction of a 3' methyl group in addition to the 2' enyl site in the side chain decreases the growth response and maintains inhibition. Addition of a terminal phenyl group to the side chain from C5 to C10 can produce analogs which give strong stimulation or strong inhibition of growth. The action of the analogs is in addition to the natural coenzyme Q in the cell and is not based on restoration of activity after depletion of normal coenzyme Q. The effects may be based on any of the sites in the cell where coenzyme Q functions. For example, coenzyme Q2 is known to decrease mitochondrial membrane potential whereas the analog with a 10C aliphatic side chain increases potential. Both of these compounds stimulate plasma membrane electron transport. Inhibition of apoptosis by coenzyme Q may also increase net cell proliferation and the 10C analog inhibits the permeability transition pore.

Abstract
The depletion of the essential nutrient CoQ10 by the increasingly popular cholesterol lowering drugs, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), has grown from a level of concern to one of alarm. With ever higher statin potencies and dosages, and with a steadily shrinking target LDL cholesterol, the prevalence and severity of CoQ10 deficiency is increasing noticeably. An estimated 36 million Americans are now candidates for statin drug therapy. Statin-induced CoQ10 depletion is well documented in animal and human studies with detrimental cardiac consequences in both animal models and human trials. This drug-induced nutrient deficiency is dose related and more notable in settings of pre-existing CoQ10 deficiency such as in the elderly and in heart failure. Statin-induced CoQ10 deficiency is completely preventable with supplemental CoQ10 with no adverse impact on the cholesterol lowering or anti-inflammatory properties of the statin drugs. We are currently in the midst of a congestive heart failure epidemic in the United States, the cause or causes of which are unclear. As physicians, it is our duty to be absolutely certain that we are not inadvertently doing harm to our patients by creating a wide-spread deficiency of a nutrient critically important for normal heart function.

Abstract
The mitochondrial respiratory chain is a powerful source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), considered as the pathogenic agent of many diseases and of aging. We have investigated the role of Complex I in superoxide radical production and found by combined use of specific inhibitors of Complex I that the one-electron donor in the Complex to oxygen is a redox center located prior to the sites where three different types of coenzyme Q (CoQ) competitors bind, to be identified with an Fe-S cluster, most probably N2, or possibly an ubisemiquinone intermediate insensitive to all the above inhibitors. Short-chain coenzyme Q analogues enhance superoxide formation, presumably by mediating electron transfer from N2 to oxygen. The clinically used CoQ analogue idebenone is particularly effective, raising doubts about its safety as a drug. The mitochondrial theory of aging considers somatic mutations of mitochondrial DNA induced by ROS as the primary cause of energy decline; in rat liver mitochondria, Complex I appears to be most affected by aging and to become strongly rate limiting for electron transfer. Mitochondrial energetics is also deranged in human platelets upon aging, as demonstrated by the decreased Pasteur effect (enhancement of lactate production by respiratory inhibitors). Cells counteract oxidative stress by antioxidants: CoQ is the only lipophilic antioxidant to be biosynthesized. Exogenous CoQ, however, protects cells from oxidative stress by conversion into its reduced antioxidant form by cellular reductases. The plasma membrane oxidoreductase and DT-diaphorase are two such systems: likewise, they are overexpressed under oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
Circulating human lymphocytes contain a transmembrane oxidoreductase (PMOR) capable of reducing dichlorophenol indophenol (DCIP) by endogenous reductants, presumably NADH. Membranes from lymphocytes obtained from buffy coats contain a NADH DCIP reductase having a K(m) of about 1 microM and almost insensible to dicoumarol. The PMOR of lymphocytes from insulin-dependent diabetic patients is higher than that from age-matched controls and, in addition, has a dicoumarol-sensitive component, lacking in most controls, presumably due to membrane association of DT-diaphorase. The increase of PMOR in diabetes is likely due to overexpression of the enzyme, in view of the very low K(m) for NADH indicating that, in intact cells, the enzyme is practically saturated with the reductant substrate.

Abstract
The cell-surface NADH oxidase (NOX) protein of plant and animal cells will utilize both NADH and NADPH as reduced electron donors for activity. The two activities are distinguished by a differential inhibition by the redox inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI). Using both plasma membranes and cells, activity with NADPH as donor was markedly inhibited by DPI at submicromolar concentrations, whereas with NADH as donor, DPI was much less effective or had no effect on the activity. The possibility of the inhibition being the result of two different enzymes was eliminated by the use of a recombinant NOX protein. The findings support the concept that NOX proteins serve as terminal oxidases for plasma membrane electron transport involving cytosolic reduced pyridine nucleotides as the natural electron donors and with molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor.

Abstract
Mutations in the clk-1 gene of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans result in slowed development, sluggish adult behaviors, and an increased lifespan. CLK-1 is a mitochondrial polypeptide with sequence and functional conservation from human to yeast. Coq7p, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue, is essential for ubiquinone (coenzyme Q or Q) synthesis and therefore respiration. However, based on assays of respiratory function, it has been reported that the primary defect in the C. elegans clk-1 mutants is not in Q biosynthesis. How do the clk-1 mutant worms have essentially normal rates of respiration, when biochemical studies in yeast suggest a Q deficiency? Nematodes are routinely fed Escherichia coli strains containing a rich supply of Q. To study the Q synthesized by C. elegans, we cultured worms on an E. coli mutant that lacks Q and found that clk-1 mutants display early developmental arrest from eggs, or sterility emerging from dauer stage. Provision of Q-replete E. coli rescues these defects. Lipid analysis showed that clk-1 worms lack the nematode Q(9) isoform and instead contain a large amount of a metabolite that is slightly more polar than Q(9). The clk-1 mutants also have increased levels of Q(8), the E. coli isoform, and rhodoquinone-9. These results show that the clk-1 mutations result in Q auxotrophy evident only when Q is removed from the diet, and that the aging and developmental phenotypes previously described are consistent with altered Q levels and distribution.

Abstract
This report summarizes new evidence for a plasma-membrane-associated hydroquinone oxidase designated as CNOX (constitutive plasma membrane NADH oxidase) that functions as a terminal oxidase for a plasma membrane oxidoreductase (PMOR) electron transport chain to link the accumulation of lesions in mitochondrial DNA to cell-surface accumulations of reactive oxygen species. Previous considerations of plasma membrane redox changes during aging have lacked evidence for a specific terminal oxidase to catalyze a flow of electrons from cytosolic NADH to molecular oxygen (or to protein disulfides). Cells with functionally deficient mitochondria become characterized by an anaerobic metabolism. As a result, NADH accumulates from the glycolytic production of ATP. Elevated PMOR activity has been shown to be necessary to maintain the NAD(+)/NADH homeostasis essential for survival. Our findings demonstrate that the hyperactivity of the PMOR system results in an NADH oxidase (NOX) activity capable of generating reactive oxygen species at the cell surface. This would serve to propagate the aging cascade both to adjacent cells and to circulating blood components. The generation of superoxide by NOX forms associated with aging is inhibited by coenzyme Q and provides a rational basis for the anti-aging activity of circulating coenzyme Q.

Abstract
The clinical experience in cardiology with CoQ10 includes studies on congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, and reperfusion injury as it relates to coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The CoQ10-lowering effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and the potential adverse consequences are of growing concern. Supplemental CoQ10 alters the natural history of cardiovascular illnesses and has the potential for prevention of cardiovascular disease through the inhibition of LDL cholesterol oxidation and by the maintenance of optimal cellular and mitochondrial function throughout the ravages of time and internal and external stresses. The attainment of higher blood levels of CoQ10 (> 3.5 micrograms/ml) with the use of higher doses of CoQ10 appears to enhance both the magnitude and rate of clinical improvement. In this communication, 34 controlled trials and several open-label and long-term studies on the clinical effects of CoQ10 in cardiovascular diseases are reviewed.

Abstract
In both humans and animals there is a progressive loss of muscle strength with age. Tests of handgrip and knee extension in men show that some decline in strength is evident by the age of 55 years and is pronounced by the age of 65, compared with the 25- to 35-year period when strength is at a maximum. A comparable age-related decline in peak force development has also been shown in hind-limb muscles of aged rats. Motoneurons and consequently motor units are lost with age, and this is apparent in man after the age of 60. Again, a comparable decline has been demonstrated in the motoneuron population of hindlimb muscles of rats aged 20-24 months. Loss of motoneurons in young adults (through either injury or disease) results in the remaining intact motoneurons sprouting to innervate the denervated fibers. This capacity for sprouting has been shown to be seriously impaired in the hindlimb muscles of aged rats. Furthermore, the well-established relationship between motor unit size and fatigability (smaller units tend to be more fatigue resistant) also tends to break down, with large units just as likely to be fatigable as fatigue resistant. The normally large, fatigable motor units also appear to be reduced in size in the aged muscles. The age-related loss of motoneurons and associated loss of muscle fibers accounts in part for the reduced functional capacity of muscle with age. The reason for the impairment of the aged motoneuron remains to be investigated, but it may relate to the integrity of the oxidative metabolic pathways within the cell, given that mitochondrial respiratory chain function is known to be reduced with age.

Abstract
During the present century there has been a dramatic change in life expectancy in advanced societies, now exceeding 80 years. As distinct from life expectancy, life potential is said to be at least 120 years, so that the continuing increase in knowledge has the potential for further major changes in the survival of humans conceivably in the near future. This presentation will be concerned with one aspect of the development of biomedical advances related in part to a concept of an "age-related universality of bioenergetic disease," and its potential amelioration and proposed impact on age-related disease and lifestyle. Aging is a complex biological process associated with a progressive decline in the physiological and biochemical performance of individual tissues and organs, leading to age-associated disease and senescence. Consideration of the progressive accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutation with age and the tissue/cellular bioenergy decline associated with the aging process has led us to the proposal of a "universality of bioenergetic disease" and the potential for a redox therapy for the condition. This concept envisages that a tissue-bioenergetic decline will be intrinsic to various diseases of the aged and thereby contribute to their pathology, in particular, heart failure, degenerative brain disease, muscle and vascular diseases, as well as other syndromes. The information and concepts embodied in this proposal will be reviewed under the following headings: (1) mitochondrial DNA deletion mutation in some tissue is very extensive and shows mosaicism; (2) age-associated tissue/cellular bioenergy mosaic closely corresponds to the mtDNA profile; (3) cellular bioenergy as a function of mitochondrial bioenergy, glycolysis, and plasma membrane oxidoreductase; (4) redox therapy for the reenergization of cells, tissues, and whole organs. A redox therapy based on coenzyme Q10 has demonstrated profound alteration in heart function of old rats; no significant effect was observed with young rats.

Abstract
Most Parkinson's disease (PD) treatments palliate symptoms by increasing nigrostriatal dopaminergic tone. A unique strategy for accomplishing this pharmacological end-point proposes using reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to boost endogenous dopamine production, since NADH indirectly supplies reducing equivalents to the rate-limiting, tyrosine hydroxylase-catalysed step of dopamine synthesis. Support for using NADH in PD treatment includes claims that NADH stimulates tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine biosynthesis in tissue culture and humans, as well as case series associating intravenous and oral NADH administration with PD rating scale improvements. Theoretical and practical arguments against NADH include underlying NADH disposal impairment in PD and failure of a placebo-controlled trial to show any clear benefit. While NADH may yet prove to ameliorate parkinsonism, recommendations for its use in PD are premature.

Abstract
Mitochondria are deeply involved in the production of reactive oxygen species through one-electron carriers in the respiratory chain; mitochondrial structures are also very susceptible to oxidative stress as evidenced by massive information on lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. Oxidative stress can induce apoptotic death, and mitochondria have a central role in this and other types of apoptosis, since cytochrome c release in the cytoplasm and opening of the permeability transition pore are important events in the apoptotic cascade. The discovery that mtDNA mutations are at the basis of a number of human pathologies has profound implications: maternal inheritance of mtDNA is the basis of hereditary mitochondrial cytopathies; accumulation of somatic mutations of mtDNA with age has represented the basis of the mitochondrial theory of ageing, by which a vicious circle is established of mtDNA damage, altered oxidative phosphorylation and overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Experimental evidence of respiratory chain defects and of accumulation of multiple mtDNA deletions with ageing is in accordance with the mitochondrial theory, although some other experimental findings are not directly ascribable to its postulates.

Abstract
In view of previous reports associating mitochondrial DNA deletions with male reproductive disorders, levels of the 'common' 4977 bp mitochondrial DNA deletion were evaluated semi-quantitatively in 64 men, without prior knowledge of the clinical diagnosis. Significant levels of deletions were detected in 34/64 men (53%) but 29 of these (45%) had a normal semen profile and were phenotypically normal. No deletions were detected in 30 men, of whom 21 were normospermic, six were oligozoospermic and three were azoospermic. It is concluded that although mitochondrial DNA deletions within the testis may be associated with primary testicular disease, no correlation with semen quality was evident in this study, thus limiting its potential use as a diagnostic test.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q is uniquely designed as an electron and proton carrier within the lipid phase of membranes. It now appears that this unique chemistry has diverse application to important functions in all cellular membranes. The first function of coenzyme Q was defined in the energy transduction process in mitochondria. New studies show that the presence of coenzyme Q in other cellular membranes has dynamic rather than passive significance. Coenzyme Q functions in the plasma membrane electron transport involved in activation of signalling protein kinases related to gene activation for cellular proliferation. Furthermore, the antioxidant potential of the reduced coenzyme Q is now taken on a new significance in the evidence that the reduced quinone can act to maintain tocopherol in the reduced state in membranes and ascorbate reduced both inside and outside the cell.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is manifested by severe thickening of the left ventricle with significant diastolic dysfunction. Previous observations on the improvement in diastolic function and left ventricular wall thickness through the therapeutic administration of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in patients with hypertensive heart disease prompted the investigation of its utility in HCM. Seven patients with HCM, six non-obstructive and one obstructive, were treated with an average of 200 mg/day of CoQ10 with mean treatment whole blood CoQ10 level of 2.9 micrograms/ml. Echocardiograms were obtained in all seven patients at baseline and again 3 or more months post-treatment. All patients noted improvement in symptoms of fatigue and dyspnea with no side effects noted. The mean interventricular septal thickness improved significantly from 1.51 +/- 0.17 cm to 1.14 +/- 0.13 cm, a 24% reduction (P < 0.002). The mean posterior wall thickness improved significantly from 1.37 +/- 0.13 cm to 1.01 +/- 0.15 cm, a 26% reduction (P < 0.005). Mitral valve inflow slope by pulsed wave Doppler (EF slope) showed a non-significant trend towards improvement, 1.55 +/- 0.49 m/sec2 to 2.58 +/- 1.18 m/sec2 (P < 0.08). The one patient with subaortic obstruction showed an improvement in resting pressure gradient after CoQ10 treatment (70 mmHg to 30 mmHg).

Abstract
In the presence of effectors variations in the two recognized activities of the plasma membrane NADH-oxidoreductase system were studied in separate, specific in vitro assays. We report here that ubiquinone analogues that contain a short, less hydrophobic side chain than coenzyme Q-10 dramatically stimulate the NADH-oxidase activity of isolated rat liver plasma membranes whereas they show no effect on the reductase activity of isolated membranes. If measured in assays of the NADH:ferricyanide reductase of living cultured cells these compounds have only a limited effect; the oxidase activity of whole cells is not measurable in our hands. We have furthermore identified selective inhibitors of both enzyme activities. In particular, the NADH-oxidase activity can be significantly inhibited by structural analogues of ubiquinone, such as capsaicin and resiniferatoxin. The NADH:ferricyanide reductase, on the other hand, is particularly sensitive to pCMBS, indicating the presence of a sulfhydryl group of groups at its active site. The identification of these specific effectors of the different enzyme activities of the PMOR yields further insights into the function of this system.
