Abstract
Calcium-independent phospholipase A2γ (iPLA2γ) is a mitochondrial enzyme that produces lipid second messengers that facilitate opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and contribute to the production of oxidized fatty acids in myocardium. To specifically identify the roles of iPLA2γ in cardiac myocytes, we generated cardiac myocyte-specific iPLA2γ knock-out (CMiPLA2γKO) mice by removing the exon encoding the active site serine (Ser-477). Hearts of CMiPLA2γKO mice exhibited normal hemodynamic function, glycerophospholipid molecular species composition, and normal rates of mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. In contrast, CMiPLA2γKO mice demonstrated attenuated Ca(2+)-induced mPTP opening that could be rapidly restored by the addition of palmitate and substantially reduced production of oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Furthermore, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in CMiPLA2γKO mice (30 min of ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion in vivo) dramatically decreased oxidized fatty acid production in the ischemic border zones. Moreover, CMiPLA2γKO mice subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion in vivo developed substantially less cardiac necrosis in the area-at-risk in comparison with their WT littermates. Furthermore, we found that membrane depolarization in murine heart mitochondria was sensitized to Ca(2+) by the presence of oxidized PUFAs. Because mitochondrial membrane depolarization and calcium are known to activate iPLA2γ, these results are consistent with salvage of myocardium after I/R by iPLA2γ loss of function through decreasing mPTP opening, diminishing production of proinflammatory oxidized fatty acids, and attenuating the deleterious effects of abrupt increases in calcium ion on membrane potential during reperfusion.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate that calcium-independent phospholipase A(2)γ (iPLA(2)γ) is a critical mechanistic participant in the calcium-induced opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Liver mitochondria from iPLA(2)γ(-/-) mice were markedly resistant to calcium-induced swelling in the presence or absence of phosphate in comparison with wild-type littermates. Furthermore, the iPLA(2)γ enantioselective inhibitor (R)-(E)-6-(bromomethylene)-3-(1-naphthalenyl)-2H-tetrahydropyran-2-one ((R)-BEL) was markedly more potent than (S)-BEL in inhibiting mPTP opening in mitochondria from wild-type liver in comparison with hepatic mitochondria from iPLA(2)γ(-/-) mice. Intriguingly, low micromolar concentrations of long chain fatty acyl-CoAs and the non-hydrolyzable thioether analog of palmitoyl-CoA markedly accelerated Ca(2+)-induced mPTP opening in liver mitochondria from wild-type mice. The addition of l-carnitine enabled the metabolic channeling of acyl-CoA through carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPT-1/2) and attenuated the palmitoyl-CoA-mediated amplification of calcium-induced mPTP opening. In contrast, mitochondria from iPLA(2)γ(-/-) mice were insensitive to fatty acyl-CoA-mediated augmentation of calcium-induced mPTP opening. Moreover, mitochondria from iPLA(2)γ(-/-) mouse liver were resistant to Ca(2+)/t-butyl hydroperoxide-induced mPTP opening in comparison with wild-type littermates. In support of these findings, cytochrome c release from iPLA(2)γ(-/-) mitochondria was dramatically decreased in response to calcium in the presence or absence of either t-butyl hydroperoxide or phenylarsine oxide in comparison with wild-type littermates. Collectively, these results identify iPLA(2)γ as an important mechanistic component of the mPTP, define its downstream products as potent regulators of mPTP opening, and demonstrate the integrated roles of mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipidomic flux in modulating mPTP opening promoting the activation of necrotic and necroapoptotic pathways of cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane in a warm liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model on cytokines, hepatic tissue blood flow (HTBF), energy content, and liver structure. METHODS Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomly assigned into 1 of 3 groups: Control group, no volatile anesthetics; sevoflurane group, 2% sevoflurane; isoflurane group, 1.5% isoflurane. Thirty minutes after the start of volatile anesthetics, rats were subjected to 45 min hepatic ischemia and 2 and 4 h of reperfusion. Rats were killed at the end of ischemia, 2 and 4 h of reperfusion. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, HTBF, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, energy charge, and histologic examination were used to evaluate the extent of liver injury. RESULTS Serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were similar in control and isoflurane groups while there was a significant decrease in the sevoflurane group in the postischemic period (P < 0.01). HTBF was remarkably better in the sevoflurane group than in the isoflurane group and worse in the control group. Tissue malondialdehyde levels were significantly low in the sevoflurane group compared with the isoflurane group at 2 h of reperfusion (P < 0.05) and reached its maximum value in the postischemic period in the control group. After ischemia, 2 and 4 h of reperfusion, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta values were lowest in the sevoflurane group and highest in the control group but it was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). In the sevoflurane group, hepatic adenosine triphosphate and energy charge were significantly high at all measurement times. At the postischemic period, energy charge was lower compared with the sevoflurane and isoflurane groups. The degree of hepatocyte injury was small in the sevoflurane group. CONCLUSIONS Clinically relevant concentrations of sevoflurane given before, during, and after hepatic ischemia protected the liver against IR injury, whereas the effects of isoflurane on hepatic IR injury were not notable.

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

Abstract
Melatonin, a pineal secretory product, is a potent scavenger of a variety of free radicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin on the prevention of mitochondrial injury induced by hepatic ischemia and reperfusion. Rats were subjected to 70 min of hepatic ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. Fifteen minutes prior to ischemia and at reperfusion, animals received vehicle or melatonin (10 mg/kg body weight) intraperitoneally. In the vehicle-treated animals, the respiratory control index, ADP/O, State 3 respiration and dinitrophenol-induced uncoupled respiration decreased markedly after ischemia/reperfusion and were restored by melatonin administration. Similarly, pH change coupled with mitochondrial energy transfer was suppressed by ischemia/reperfusion with the effects being reduced by melatonin treatment. Mitochondrial lipid peroxidation was elevated in the ischemic/reperfused vehicle-treated livers, but this elevation was attenuated by melatonin. Mitochondrial glutathione peroxidase activity decreased in the vehicle-treated group with this decrease being reduced by melatonin treatment. Electron microscopic studies demonstrated that treatment with melatonin restored to near normal the ischemia/reperfusion-induced disorganization of mitochondrial structure. Melatonin protects against mitochondrial injury which reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress and improves ischemia/reperfusion-induced hepatic energy metabolism.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, MCI-186), a potent free radical scavenger, on the prevention of mitochondrial injury induced by hepatic ischemia and reperfusion. Mature male rats were subjected to 70 min of hepatic ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion. The rats received vehicle or edaravone (10 mg/kg body weight) intravenously prior to ischemia, before reperfusion and 1 h after reperfusion. In the vehicle-treated animals, the respiratory control index, ADP/O, State 3 respiration and dinitrophenol-induced uncoupled respiration decreased markedly after ischemia/reperfusion and were restored by edaravone administration. Mitochondrial lipid peroxidation was elevated in the vehicle-treated group, which was attenuated by edaravone, while mitochondrial glutathione peroxidase activity decreased in the vehicle-treated group, which was similarly abrogated by edaravone treatment. Electron microscopic observation demonstrated that treatment with edaravone restored the ischemia/reperfusion-induced disorganization of mitochondrial structures. Edaravone protects against mitochondrial injury, which prevents mitochondrial oxidative stress and improves ischemia/reperfusion-induced hepatic energy metabolism.

Abstract
PURPOSE: The plasmatic activity of the cholinesterase (CHE) and the liver mitochondrial function, expressed by the ratio of respiratory control (RCR), were studied during normothermic ischemia. METHODS: Sixteen adult mongrels, eight females and eight males were submitted to ischemia by clamping of the hepatic artery, portal vein and infrahepatic inferior vena cava, infra-hepatic, for two h, follwed by reperfusion for 1 h. The CHE and the mitochondrial function were evaluated at 60 and 120 min. of ischemia and at 15 and 60 minutes of reperfusion. RESULTS: The CHE decreased, significantly, during ischemia and in reperfusion. The RCR was decreased at 120 min. of ischemia, returning to the initial values on reperfusion. CONCLUSION: In this study, the CHE was a sensitive indicator of ischemic injury , suggesting irreversibility of ischemia injury. The RCR, by other side, showed a greater sensibility than the CHE in detection sense, during the studied period, the reversibility of the hepatic ischemic injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) to preserve rat livers according to the route of perfusion, i.e., via portal vein, hepatic veins (retrograde), or hepatic artery. Livers were preserved for 24 or 48 hr by simple cold storage (SCS) or by HMP. Preservation solution was supplemented with (HMP) or without (SCS) hydroxyethyl starch. After preservation, grafts were reperfused for 2 hr with an oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer. RESULTS After 24 hr of preservation, total glutathione concentrations in HMP livers were similar (1287+/-37, 1418+/-118, and 1471+/-62 nmol/g in hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein HMP livers, respectively) and higher than in the SCS (833+/-118 nmol/g, P<0.05) group. These higher total glutathione values were due to higher reduced glutathione concentrations. ATP concentrations in the liver tissue were similar in HMP groups (0.75+/-0.4, 0.64+/-0.1, and 0.77+/-0.1 micromol/g in hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein HMP livers, respectively) and higher than in SCS (0.32+/-0.06 micromol/g, P<0.05). After 2 hr of normothermic reperfusion, bile production in the HMP portal and HMP retrograde groups were similar (391+/-29 ml and 372+/-25 ml) and higher than in the HMP artery or SCS groups (275+/-25 ml and 277+/-32 ml, respectively; P<0.05). Aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase release into the perfusate of HMP portal and HMP retrograde perfused livers was similar and significantly lower compared to the HMP artery and SCS groups. At the end of reperfusion, no statistical differences were found for glutathione concentration and energetic reserves in the livers of each group. After 48 hr of preservation, livers from the HMP portal and HMP retrograde groups did significantly better than livers from the HMP artery or SCS groups. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the superiority of HMP over SCS to preserve the liver graft. It shows that retrograde perfusion is similar to PV perfusion and that perfusion by HA is less beneficial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a thiol-containing compound with known therapeutic affects on cholestasis and hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SAM on the prevention of mitochondrial injury induced by hepatic ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS/RESULTS Rats were subjected to 60 min of hepatic ischemia and 1 and 5 h of reperfusion. 2 h prior to ischemia, the animals received either vehicle or SAM intraperitoneally. In the vehicle-treated ischemic animals, serum aspartate aminotransferase levels increased at 1 h and again at 5 h of reperfusion and were reduced by SAM pre-treatment. Similarly, mitochondrial lipid peroxidation was elevated in the vehicle-treated group, but this elevation was attenuated by SAM. In contrast, mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase activity and reduced glutathione concentration both decreased in the vehicle-treated group, and this decrease was also inhibited by SAM. Hepatic ATP levels in the vehicle-treated rats were found to be 42% lower 5 h after reperfusion, however, treatment with SAM elevated these ATP levels. SAM treatment increased the concentration of adenosine but inhibited the accumulation of hypoxanthine in the ischemic liver. CONCLUSION SAM protects against mitochondrial injury, which prevents mitochondrial oxidant stress and improves ischemia-induced hepatic energy metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pathophysiologic feature possibly involved in ischemic injury in transplant kidneys is mitochondrial dysfunction caused by disintegration of oxidative metabolic pathways. Because the ability to synthesize ATP by respiratory activity determines the organ's capacity to recover from ischemic injury, an assessment of respiratory activity may provide information related to graft viability. METHODS NADH fluorimetry can be used to monitor kidney cortex metabolism noninvasively. During perfusion with (an)-aerobic perfusate, NADH fluorescence images were recorded. We evaluated the NADH oxidation kinetics of 20 rat kidneys, which were divided over four experimental groups. For six minimally damaged kidneys and six kidneys that had been stored for one hour at 37 degrees C, perfusion was followed by transplantation. We related the kinetic parameters of these kidneys with their post-transplantation function and histology. The transplant function was monitored by serum creatinine and urea levels. RESULTS Storage of transplant kidneys for one hour at 37 degrees C significantly reduced the post-transplantation function. Isolated perfusion of grafts, however, was not detrimental for renal function. The rate of NADH oxidation decreased with decreasing graft quality, and a good correlation between NADH oxidation kinetics and post-transplantation function was found. CONCLUSIONS A reduction of NADH oxidation rates as a consequence of warm ischemia supports the view that mitochondrial respiratory activity is impaired by ischemic injury. The correlation between NADH oxidation kinetics in perfused grafts and their post-transplantation function indicates that NADH fluorimetry may be useful in predicting the viability of preserved grafts prior to transplantation.

Abstract
It is well known that ischemia causes functional and structural damage to liver cells, and that the status of energy metabolism provides an important means of assessing the functional viability of the ischemic organ. However, the specific sequence leading to ischemic liver cell injury is not yet fully understood; therefore, it is clinically and pathophysiologically important to elucidate the mechanism of cellular injury during hepatic ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Whereas the conventional view attributes this injury process to the ischemia itself, recent studies have demonstrated that a variable but often substantial proportion of this injury is caused by reactive oxygen metabolites that are generated at the time of reperfusion. This article presents an outline of the mechanism of cellular injury caused during hepatic ischemia and subsequent reperfusion resulting from certain types of surgery, with special reference to the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and the activation of neutrophils and macrophages.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to clarify whether a correlation exists between the hepatic ratio of the beta-phosphorus moiety of ATP (beta-ATP) to inorganic phosphate (Pi), measured by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy 1 h after the reestablishment of portal blood flow, and the survival rate of rats following liver transplantation. This ratio was compared with the arterial ketone body ratio [AKBR (acetoacetate/3-hydroxybutyrate)], which is accepted as a reliable indicator of liver viability. After the transplantation of fresh livers, the 1-week survival rate was 92% and the beta-ATP/Pi ratio was 64% of the normal level. When the liver grafts were subjected to warm ischemia for 25 min or 45 min prior to harvesting, the 1-week survival rate decreased to 43% and 0%, respectively, and the beta-ATP/Pi ratio dropped to 31% and 18% of the normal level, respectively. On the other hand, the AKBR was about 25% of the normal level after transplantation of fresh livers, while it was 37% and 48% after transplantation with 25 min and 45 min of warm ischemia, respectively. However, 4 h after the reestablishment of portal blood flow, the AKBR correlated with the beta-ATP/Pi ratio in both the fresh graft group and the 45-min warm ischemic damage group. These results show that the beta-ATP/Pi ratio provides an accurate evaluation of a graft viability even at an extremely early stage following liver transplantation, and should prove useful for the early diagnosis of primary graft nonfunction after liver transplantation.

Abstract
Evidence is discussed for roles of cardiolipins in oxidative phosphorylation mechanisms that regulate State 4 respiration by returning ejected protons across and over bacterial and mitochondrial membrane phospholipids, and that regulate State 3 respiration through the relative contributions of proteins that transport protons, electrons and/or metabolites. The barrier properties of phospholipid bilayers support and regulate the slow proton leak that is the basis for State 4 respiration. Proton permeability is in the range 10(-3)-10(-4) cm s-1 in mitochondria and in protein-free membranes formed from extracted mitochondrial phospholipids or from stable synthetic phosphatidylcholines or phosphatidylethanolamines. The roles of cardiolipins in proton conductance in model phospholipid membrane systems need to be assessed in view of new findings by Hübner et al. [313]: saturated cardiolipins form bilayers whilst natural highly unsaturated cardiolipins form nonlamellar phases. Mitochondrial cardiolipins apparently participate in bilayers formed by phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines. It is not yet clear if cardiolipins themselves conduct protons back across the membrane according to their degree of fatty acyl saturation, and/or modulate proton conductance by phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines. Mitochondrial cardiolipins, especially those with high 18:2 acyl contents, strongly bind many carrier and enzyme proteins that are involved in oxidative phosphorylation, some of which contribute to regulation of State 3 respiration. The role of cardiolipins in biomembrane protein function has been examined by measuring retained phospholipids and phospholipid binding in purified proteins, and by reconstituting delipidated proteins. The reconstitution criterion for the significance of cardiolipin-protein interactions has been catalytical activity; proton-pumping and multiprotein interactions have yet to be correlated. Some proteins, e.g., cytochrome c oxidase are catalytically active when dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine replaces retained cardiolipins. Cardiolipin-protein interactions orient membrane proteins, matrix proteins, and on the outerface receptors, enzymes, and some leader peptides for import; activate enzymes or keep them inactive unless the inner membrane is disrupted; and modulate formation of nonbilayer HII-phases. The capacity of the proton-exchanging uncoupling protein to accelerate thermogenic respiration in brown adipose tissue mitochondria of cold-adapted animals is not apparently affected by the increased cardiolipin unsaturation; this protein seems to take over the protonophoric role of cardiolipins in other mitochondria. Many in vivo influences that affect proton leakage and carrier rates selectively alter cardiolipins in amount per mitochondrial phospholipids, in fatty acyl composition and perhaps in sidedness; other mitochondrial membrane phospholipids respond less or not at all.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Adenine nucleotides and respiration were assayed with rat kidney mitochondria depleted of adenine nucleotides by pyrophosphate treatment and by normothermic ischemia, respectively, with the aim of identifying net uptake of ATP as well as elucidating the contribution of adenine nucleotide loss to the ischemic impairment of oxidative phosphorylation. Treatment of rat kidney mitochondria with pyrophosphate caused a loss of adenine nucleotides as well as a decrease of state 3 respiration. After incubation of pyrophosphate-treated mitochondria with ATP, Mg2+ and phosphate, the content of adenine nucleotides increased. We propose that kidney mitochondria possess a mechanism for net uptake of ATP. Restoration of a normal content of matrix adenine nucleotides was related to full recovery of the rate of state 3 respiration. A hyperbolic relationship between the matrix content of adenine nucleotides and the rate of state 3 respiration was observed. Mitochondria isolated from kidneys exposed to normothermic ischemia were characterized by a decrease in the content of adenine nucleotides as well as in state 3 respiration. Incubation of ischemic mitochondria with ATP, Mg2+ and phosphate restored the content of adenine nucleotides to values measured in freshly-isolated mitochondria. State 3 respiration of ischemic mitochondria reloaded with ATP recovered only partially. The rate of state 3 respiration increased by ATP-reloading approached that of uncoupler-stimulated respiration measured with ischemic mitochondria. These findings suggest that the decrease of matrix adenine nucleotides contributes to the impairment of ischemic mitochondria as well as underlining the occurrence of additional molecular changes of respiratory chain limiting the oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Interruption of hepatic blood supply for 60 min deteriorated liver mitochondrial respiratory functional indices--that is, respiratory control index (RCI) and the rate of oxygen consumption in state-III respiration (ST III O2). Recovery of ischemia-induced decreases in these functional indices in a saline-administered cirrhotic liver group was retarded compared with that in a normal liver group, and significantly low RCI and ST III O2 persisted 15 min after reperfusion. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) did not improve ischemia-induced decreases in RCI and ST III O2 but accelerated the recovery of mitochondrial respiratory function after reperfusion. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were markedly decreased during ischemia, and retardation of ATP recovery was also observed in rats with cirrhosis. PGE1 improved the recovery of ATP level in rats with cirrhosis. Liver blood flow in the cirrhotic liver was significantly lower than that of the normal liver. PGE1 enhanced liver blood flow. These results indicate that retardation of the recovery of RCI and ST III O2 in the cirrhotic liver might be based on the decrease in tissue blood flow and that agents increasing tissue blood flow might contribute to the acceleration of the recovery of mitochondrial respiratory function.

Abstract
The activity of the adenine nucleotide translocator is decreased at ischemia. Studies were undertaken to elucidate changes in the adenine nucleotide translocator by determining its content in mitochondria of ischemic rat kidney. After 60 min of ischemia, the content of the adenine nucleotide translocator amounted only to about 55%, of that measured in control mitochondria. At the same time, the flux control coefficient was increased. These changes paralled the well-known effects of ischemia: the decrease in oxidative phosphorylation and in adenine nucleotides. It is supposed that the decrease in the adenine nucleotide translocatar content accounts, at least partially, for the ischemia-induced impairment of mitochondria.

Abstract
Oxygen consumption and urea synthesis from ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) were investigated in the liver preserved in University of Wisconsin solution at 4 degrees C for 24 hours using an isolated rat liver perfusion system in which the perfusate contained five different concentrations of NH4Cl. When a Michaelis-Menten equation was applied to oxygen consumption and urea synthesis against NH4Cl concentration, the preserved liver showed smaller increase in oxygen consumption rate and larger Km of urea synthesis for NH4Cl than the fresh liver. The ratio of respiration velocity without any substrate to maximal velocity (v/Vmax), which reflects the mitochondrial functional reserve, was 55.9 +/- 4.1% and 41.5 +/- 4.8% in the preserved and fresh liver, respectively (p less than 0.05). From the viewpoint of work-cost relationship, it was shown that the mitochondrial function in the preserved liver was deteriorated. On the other hand, conventional mitochondrial study after rewarming and reoxygenation but before NH4Cl load revealed no deterioration of mitochondrial function after preservation. These results indicate that it is necessary to take the metabolic load on the reperfused liver into account when assessing graft viability, and that high v/Vmax suggests decrease in the reserve of mitochondrial function under consideration of the metabolic load.

Abstract
1. Respiration of mitochondria, membrane potential and mitochondrial ATPase under energized conditions were studied in rat myocardium during cell injury induced by treatment with isoproterenol. 2. Increase in the state 4 rate of respiration and ADP:O ratio, as well as decrease in the state 3 rate and Respiratory Control Ratio (RCR) were found. 3. The optimum pH for RCR and for maximum ATPase activity was shifted to lower values. 4. The state 3 respiration was more sensitive to oligomycin inhibition. 5. The mitochondria showed lower ability to generate membrane potential. 6. An increase in the K0.5 values for catalytic sites II and III of mitochondrial ATPase at pH 7.4 and 5.5 was found. 7. These results are consistent with alterations on the integrity of mitochondrial membrane, and corroborate with the hypothesis of changes on the mitochondrial ATPase during isoproterenol-induced cell injury of myocardium.

Abstract
We have determined whether glycine or glutathione can protect rabbit proximal tubules damaged by chemical inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation: antimycin A, rotenone, cyanide, oligomycin, or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhdrazone (CCCP). All the agents severely depleted cell ATP levels within 15 min and caused lethal cell injury, as quantified by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. Glycine and glutathione largely prevented this injury without altering the primary effects of the inhibitors on tubule respiration or the depletion of ATP. Buthionine sulfoximine and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea decreased cell glutathione but did not prevent the protective effects of either glycine or glutathione in tubules treated with rotenone. Protection was sustained during both a 15-min exposure and a 45-min postwash period irrespective of whether the wash removed the agent or mitochondrial function recovered. Cysteine uniquely induced a dramatic recovery of mitochondrial function in tubules washed after treatment with CCCP. These data 1) demonstrate that the cytoprotective effects of glycine previously seen during hypoxia extend to other tubule lesions characterized by severe ATP depletion, 2) emphasize the actions of glycine to preserve cell structural integrity in spite of sustained severe impairment of ATP-generating processes in proximal tubules, and 3) indicate that it is glycine rather than intracellular or extracellular glutathione which mediates protection.

Abstract
The isolated perfused rabbit liver was used to determine how continuous hypothermic perfusion affected liver function. Rabbit livers were perfused for 0, 24, 48, and 72 hr at 5 degrees C with the UW perfusate containing hydroxyethyl starch (5 g%) dissolved in a solution containing gluconate (80 mM), adenosine (5 mM), glutathione (3 mM), phosphate (25 mM), and additives as described previously, and they were used successfully for kidney preservation. At the end of preservation the livers were perfused in an isolated circuit with a Krebs-Henseleit solution with addition of 4 g% bovine serum albumin and 10 mM glucose at 38 degrees C for 120 min. Bile was collected from the cannulated common duct. Biliary excretions of indocyanine green and liver enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase, were determined both in the cold perfusate and the normothermic perfusate. Livers were also studied after pretreatment of the donor with chlorpromazine (CPZ) and/or methylprednisolone (MP). Bile production (ml/120 min, 100 g liver) upon reperfusion produced the most interesting data and decreased from a control value of 10.3 +/- 2.6 to 9.3 +/- 1.0 (24 hr), 5.3 +/- 0.7 (48 hr), and 4.1 +/- 1.5 (72 hr). Enzyme release was not predictive of the degree of preservation-induced damage. Pretreatment of rabbits with a combination of CPZ/MP improved bile flow at 48 and 72 hr (8.3 +/- 3.0 and 7.0 +/- 1.3, P less than 0.05). Pretreatment with either drug alone also improved function after 72 hr of preservation (7.1 +/- 1.8, CPZ; 8.2 +/- 3.5, MP).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Young and senescent rats (3 and 28-30 months old) were subjected to complete ischemia at 37 degrees C in order to study function and structure of mitochondria isolated from liver, heart muscle, and brain. The rates of energy-coupled respiration and ATP synthesis were found to decrease progressively in relation to time of ischemia. The respiratory rates in the absence of ADP (state 4 respiration) did not increase after exposure to ischemia, suggesting that ischemia primarily affects electron transport rather than the energy coupling system. Mitochondria of heart muscle were more affected by ischemia than mitochondria of brain and liver. Liver and heart muscle mitochondria obtained from young rats were found to be slightly more sensitive to short periods of ischemia than those isolated from senescent animals.

Abstract
ATP entrapped into liposomes was administered intracarotidally to rats submitted to brain ischemics episodes by clamping of the carotid arteries and lowering of the systemic blood pressure. It was observed that when entrapped into liposomes, ATP greatly increased the number of ischemic episodes tolerated before brain electrical silence and death appeared. These results added to very similar previous data obtained by i.c.v. treatment excluding the prominent role of cardiovascular effects, could open new possibilities in brain antihypoxic protection. Here and now it cannot be stated if ATP provides direct energetic supply.

It was observed that, when entrapped in liposomes, ATP greatly increased the number of ischaemic episodes before brain electrical silence and death. The results open new perspectives in brain ATP supply, which will potentially be useful in human resuscitation from deep brain hypoergic states.

Abstract
The behavior of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzymes has been studied in rat liver at 1, 5, and 24 hr after 60 min of ischemia using histochemical methods. This period of ischemia resulted 24 h after ischemia in liver cell necrosis in about 15% of the volume of the ischemic liver lobes. As early as after 1 hr reperfusion lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, cytoplasm) activity decreased in a certain proportion of the liver parenchymal cells, whereas glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH, mitochondrial matrix) activity started to decrease after 5 hr reperfusion; the activities of mitochondrial membrane enzymes, monoamine oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase, did not decrease before 24 hr of reperfusion. It has been concluded that the early decrease in LDH activity is caused by leakage into the blood and reflects reversible damage; when this decrease is accompanied by a decrease in GDH activity irreversible liver cell damage is assumed. Diminished activity of mitochondrial membrane enzymes, due to leakage and denaturation, is observed when real necrosis can be assessed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory function, assessed from the rate of oxygen uptake by homogenates of rat brain subregions, was examined after 30 min of forebrain ischemia and at recirculation periods of up to 48 h. Ischemia-sensitive regions which develop extensive neuronal loss during the recirculation period (dorsal-lateral striatum, CA1 hippocampus) were compared with ischemia-resistant areas (paramedian neocortex, CA3 plus CA4 hippocampus). All areas showed reductions (to 53-69% of control) during ischemia for oxygen uptake rates determined in the presence of ADP or an uncoupling agent, which then recovered within 1 h of cerebral recirculation. In the ischemia-resistant regions, oxygen uptake rates remained similar to control values for at least 48 h of recirculation. After 3 h of recirculation, a significant decrease in respiratory activity (measured in the presence of ADP or uncoupling agent) was observed in the dorsal-lateral striatum which progressed to reductions of greater than 65% of the initial activity by 24 h. In the CA1 hippocampus, oxygen uptake rates were unchanged for 24 h, but were significantly reduced (by 30% in the presence of uncoupling agent) at 48 h. These alterations parallel the development of histological evidence of ischemic cell change determined previously and apparently precede the appearance of differential changes between sensitive and resistant regions in the content of high-energy phosphate compounds. These results suggest that alterations of mitochondrial activity are a relatively early change in the development of ischemic cell death and provide a sensitive biochemical marker for this process.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemic liver has been demonstrated to be due to decrease in the intramitochondrial level of ATP and the subsequent disruption of the proton barrier of the inner membrane (Watanabe, F., Hashimoto, T. and Tagawa, K. (1985) J. Biochem. 97, 1229-1234). In this study, another injury process, impairment of the electron-transfer system, which occurred during reoxygenation of ischemic liver, was studied during reperfusion of cold preserved liver and during cold incubation of isolated rat-liver mitochondria. The sites of the respiratory chain that were sensitive to peroxidative damage were ubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. These enzymic activities decreased with increase in lipid peroxidation. Incubation of submitochondrial particles with t-butyl hydroperoxide or with an NADPH-dependent peroxidation system decreased the enzymic activities of the electron-transport system. These data strongly suggested that lipid peroxidation during reoxygenation of ischemic liver impaired the electron-transfer system. Thus, mitochondria of ischemic liver suffer from two different types of injury: increase in proton permeability during anoxia, and decrease in enzymic activities of the electron-transport system during reoxygenation.

Abstract
Contents of high energy phosphates in the isolated perfused rat heart were followed during ischemia and reperfusion using 31P NMR spectroscopy. Application of 2-mercaptopropionylglycine resulted in significantly higher content of ATP in the reperfusion phase whereas during ischemia no differences between control and therapy hearts were found. Analysis of postischemic mitochondrial function reveals that improved ATP level is paralleled by an increased respiratory control index and a reduced ATPase activity. It is suggested that 2-mercaptopropionylglycine may cause increase of high energy phosphates during reperfusion by improving mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
The ultracytochemical changes induced in the pancreas by a single large dose of lysine (400 mg/100 g body weight) were studied in male Wistar rats of 7 weeks old. The first changes in the acinar cells were marked swelling of mitochondria with increase in their calcium content and decrease in their ATP content. Early calcium deposits seemed to occur in the matrices of swollen mitochondria and later various patterns occurred. These findings suggested that damage of the acinar cells by excess lysine resulted in breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane barrier to calcium as a very early abnormality, and that extracellular calcium then entered the mitochondrial matrices and inhibited mitochondrial function. Subsequently focal areas of the cytoplasm were degraded. Autophagic vacuoles appeared in these areas, and then acid phosphatase activity in their periphery as a result of fusion with lysosomes. The reaction of acid phosphatase was demonstrated in the locally degraded rough endoplasmic reticulum within or around autophagic vacuoles, suggesting that the endoplasmic reticulum as well as lysosomes participated in the intracellular degradation of cytoplasmic organelles in damaged acinar cells.

The viability of hypothermically perfused dog liver was evaluated with a tissue-slice technique. After being preserved for 72 hr, slices of liver were incubated at 30 degrees C for as long as 2 hr; then water content, K+/Na+ ratio, and ATP concentration were measured. Dog livers were assigned to the following experimental groups: Group 1 (no preservation; control); Group 2 (livers preserved for 72 hr); Group 3 (donor animals pretreated with 3.5 mg/kg of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and 20 mg/kg of methylprednisolone (MP), and livers preserved for 72 hr); Group 4 (livers pretreated with 2-deoxycoformycin (2-DOC), 50 mg/liter, and preserved for 72 hr); and Group 5 (combination of Group 3 and Group 4 treatments). Livers in Groups 2, 3, and 4 lost K+ during preservation, and the mean K+/Na+ ratio significantly decreased from a control value of 4.2 +/- 0.4 to 1.5-1.9 (P less than 0.05). Group 5 livers did not lose K+; mean K+/Na+ ratio was 3.9 +/- 0.5. Fresh livers (no preservation) rapidly reaccumulated K+ when the tissue slices were incubated for 2 hr at 30 degrees C; mean K+/Na+ ratio was 3.7 +/- 0.5. Tissue slices from Group 2 livers (72 hr preservation), and livers pretreated with CPZ-MP (Group 3) or pretreated with 2-DOC (Group 4) did not significantly reaccumulate K+ at 30 degrees C; mean K+/Na+ ratio was 1.7-2.1. Only slices prepared from liver pretreated with both CPZ-MP and 2-DOC reaccumulated K+; mean K+/Na+ ratio was 4.6 +/- 1.2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Synaptosomes prepared and incubated in a variety of ways from rat cerebra exhibited intractable, unphysiologically low adenylate energy charge values (approximately 0.37-0.60), low total adenine nucleotide contents (approximately 8-10 nmol/mg protein), and much higher adenylate kinase apparent Keq values (approximately 3-8) as compared to intact brain tissue (values of approximately 0.90, 25 nmol/mg, and 0.74, respectively). Synaptosomes prepared from mouse, dog, and chicken cerebra had values essentially identical to those from rat. When incubated under oxygen in a physiological salt solution containing glucose, synaptosomes metabolized more glucose to lactic acid than to CO2, and the addition of 100 microM veratridine caused a two- to threefold stimulation of O2 uptake, lactate accumulation, and CO2 output. It is known that synaptosome fractions contain a substantial number (at least 30-45% by volume) of cytoplasm-containing particles devoid of mitochondria (henceforth termed "cytosolic particles"), and that approximately 80% of brain hexokinase is bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane. For the cytosolic particles, lacking oxidative phosphorylation, to maintain their "in vivo" ATP turnover would require about a 19-fold increase in the glycolytic rate, which is not possible due to limiting amounts of hexokinase, and thus these particles are postulated to be responsible for the high level of aerobic lactate accumulation and the intractable low energy charge values found in synaptosome fractions. The mitochondria-containing particles are postulated to have a normal energy charge, a submaximal glycolytic rate, and minimal lactate production, on the basis of the capacity of veratridine to stimulate synaptosomal O2 uptake and CO2 and lactate output. Calculations based on this "two populations of particles" hypothesis indicate that for synaptosome fractions in general, (1) the cytosolic particles contain approximately 35-64% of the total adenine nucleotides and maintain an energy charge of approximately 0.12; (2) the cytosolic particles and mitochondria-containing particles have adenylate kinase apparent Keq values of approximately 0.21-1.66 and 0.74, respectively, revealing that the higher apparent Keq values of the synaptosome fractions probably are not real departures from equilibrium: and (3) approximately 31-45% of synaptosome fraction protein is contained in debris, which, when taken into account, yields total adenine nucleotide contents in the cytosolic particles and mitochondria-containing particles of approximately 15-24 and approximately 11-19 nmol/mg of particle protein, respectively.

Abstract
Mitochondria normally exhibit very low electrophoretic permeabilities to physiologically important anions such as chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate, succinate, citrate, etc. Nevertheless, considerable evidence has accumulated which suggests that heart and liver mitochondria contain a specific anion-conducting channel. In this review, a postulated inner membrane anion channel is discussed in the context of other known pathways for anion transport in mitochondria. This anion channel exhibits the following properties. It is anion-selective and inhibited physiologically by protons and magnesium ions. It is inhibited reversibly by quinine and irreversibly by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. We propose that the inner membrane anion channel is formed by inner membrane proteins and that this pathway is normally latent due to regulation by matrix Mg2+. The physiological role of the anion channel is unknown; however, this pathway is well designed to enable mitochondria to restore their normal volume following pathological swelling. In addition, the inner membrane anion channel provides a potential futile cycle for regulated non-shivering thermogenesis and may be important in controlled energy dissipation.

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
Cells in tumors that are deprived of their blood supply become hypoxic. These stressed cells adapt to their new environments by altering their metabolic regimen which in time induces cellular structure changes. The morphologic make-up of these O2-deprived cells is the focal point of this electron microscopy study. V-79 hamster lung fibroblast cells grown as monolayer cultures were examined under controlled culture density and oxygen tensions - normal aerobia (2.1 X 10(5) ppm O2), and extreme hypoxia (less than 10 ppm O2). Electron micrographs of these cells demonstrated a loss of structural mitochondrial integrity accompanied with large increases in both mitochondrial and lipid vacuole size following exposure to extreme hypoxia. When these cells were reoxygenated, those mitochondria which had not become degenerate returned to their normal state however, lipids still continued to accumulate in vacuoles for a further 6 h. Addition of 1 mM palmitic acid to aerobic cultures evoked similar lipid and mitochondrial irregularities as were observed in hypoxic cells although, the latter were not as marked. When this saturated fatty acid was added to hypoxic cells no further structural alterations were seen. The cellular changes manifested during this study were subjected to quantitative measurements and these results have given an insight into the scope and variety of ultrastructural changes which have resulted from exposure of cultured cells to hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia causes a rapid decline in the ability of brain mitochondria to synthesize adenosine triphosphate when they are exposed to oxygen and oxidizable substrates. Ischemia also results in a decreased capacity for energized mitochondria to sequester the abnormally high levels of calcium that are present within ischemic tissue. The degree to which these processes are affected is likely to influence the maintenance of cell viability during cerebral resuscitation. Factors that have been proposed to account for mitochondrial damage during ischemia and reperfusion include intracellular acidosis, Ca2+-induced membrane damage, and free-radical-dependent membrane lipid peroxidation. Ongoing research indicates that measures can be taken to manipulate these factors so that mitochondrial damage may be minimized and cell viability optimized during resuscitation.

Abstract
Mitoplasts were prepared from 3-h ischemic livers in an attempt to define the structural alterations in the inner membrane that may account for the functional deficiencies of ischemic mitochondria. Mitoplasts from both control and ischemic livers had similar specific activities of cytochrome oxidase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase. With both preparations, the specific activity of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase was 10-fold lower than in the mitochondria from which they were prepared. Ischemic mitoplasts had no respiratory control with ADP, and had a slightly reduced phospholipid to protein ratio and an increased cholesterol to protein ratio. As a result, the cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio was increased from the control of 0.04 to 0.08. There were also differences in the content of individual phospholipid species. Phosphatidylcholine increased by 15%, while cardiolipin decreased by 60%. There were increases in sphingomyelin and in the lysophospholipids of phosphatidylcholine, ethanolamine, and cardiolipin. Pretreatment with chlorpromazine did not prevent these changes. Linoleic acid was decreased by 35% in ischemic phospholipids, and the content of free fatty acids was increased 4-fold. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy of mitoplasts spin labeled with either 5- or 12-doxyl stearic acid revealed an increased molecular order (decreased fluidity) of ischemic inner mitochondrial membranes consistent with the increased cholesterol to phospholipid ratio. The data indicate activation of a phospholipase A in ischemic mitochondria with the resulting accumulation of products of lipid hydrolysis. This conclusion further emphasizes the close similarity between the structural and functional consequences of ischemia in the intact animal and the effect on isolated mitochondria of the activation of the endogenous phospholipase A. In both cases the major functional alterations are attributable to changes in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane induced by the accumulation of lysophospholipids.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that infusion of ATP-MgCl2 following hepatic ischemia significantly improved mitochondrial function and hepatic blood flow 1 hr after treatment. To determine if the improvement in the above parameters by ATP-MgCl2 is short-lived or whether it persists for prolonged periods of time after treatment, hepatic ischemia in rats was produced for 90 min followed by reperfusion. The rats then received iv 0.5 ml of saline or ATP-MgCl2 (12.5 mumole each). Twenty-four hours after reflow, hepatic blood flow was measured by H2 polarography following which the animals were sacrificed and hepatic mitochondria isolated. The results indicated that 24 hr after reflow, mitochondrial state 3 respiration, respiratory control ratio, adenine nucleotide translocase activity, ATP synthetic activity, and hepatic blood flow were depressed by approximately 50% in animals which were treated with saline after hepatic ischemia. In addition, there was a fourfold increase in mitochondrial free fatty acid levels of such animals. Animals which were treated with ATP-MgCl2 following hepatic ischemia showed significantly improved mitochondrial function (used as an index of cellular recovery) and hepatic blood flow. These results in conjunction with previous results suggest that infused ATP-MgCl2 improves mitochondrial function and blood flow and that these effects persist even 24 hr after administration of ATP-MgCl2. Thus, infusion of ATP-MgCl2 following severe ischemia produces sustained improvement in cellular function.

Abstract
The mitochondrial dysfunction induced by anoxia in vitro was improved with chlorpromazine, cepharanthine, bromophenacyl bromide, and mepacrine without affecting phospholipid or adenine nucleotide metabolisms. The drugs inhibited lipid peroxidation by Fe2+, mitochondrial disruption by Ca2+, and membrane perturbation by lysolecithin, and retained the activity to control H+ permeability across mitochondrial membranes. The drugs appeared to preserve the functions by acting to suppress the development of membrane deterioration which may have resided in the deenergization of mitochondria in the absence of oxygen.
