Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used drug for the treatment of cancer,but its clinical use is limited by its liver toxicity. Administering DOX with an antioxidant has become a strategy for preventing the side effects of DOX. Although selenium (Se) is an important trace mineral, data concerning the effect of Se on DOX induced liver tissue are lacking. We investigated the mechanism of DOX hepatotoxicity and the protective effect of different doses of Se on Dox induced liver damage. Female Wistar albino rats were divided into eight equal groups. Se was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) to rats at doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg 0.5 h after injection i.p. of 5 mg/kg DOX on days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28. Liver histopathology was assessed to determine the dose at which Se may best inhibit Dox induced liver toxicity. Also, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression levels and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) activity were determined using immunohistochemistry. We found that DOX caused liver damage and increased TNF-α, IL-1β and PCNA levels. Se prevented structural damage to liver tissues. Our findings reinforce the protective effects of Se in rat liver.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic antibiotic doxorubicin belongs to the anthracycline class, slaughters not only the cancer cells but also non-cancerous cells even in the non-targeted organs thereby resulting in the toxicity. The liver is primarily involved in the process of detoxification and this mini-review we focused mainly to investigate the molecular mechanisms heading hepatotoxicity caused due to doxorubicin administration. The alterations in the doxorubicin treated liver tissue include vacuolation of hepatocytes, degeneration of hepatocyte cords, bile duct hyperplasia and focal necrosis. About the literature conducted, hepatotoxicity caused by doxorubicin has been explained by estimating the levels of liver serum biomarkers, ROS production, antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The liver serum biomarkers such as ALT and AST, elated levels of free radicals inducing oxidative stress characterized by a surge in Nrf-2, FOXO-1 and HO-1 genes and diminution of anti-oxidant activity characterized by a decline in SOD, GPx, and CAT genes. The augmented levels of SGOT, SGPT, LDH, creatine kinase, direct and total bilirubin levels also reveal the toxicity in the hepatic tissue due to doxorubicin treatment. The molecular insight of hepatotoxicity is mainly due to the production of ROS, ameliorated oxidative stress and inflammation, deteriorated mitochondrial production and functioning, and enhanced apoptosis. Certain substances such as extracts from medicinal plants, natural products, and chemical substances have been shown to produce an alleviating effect against the doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity are also discussed.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The molecular mechanism of aging is still vigorously debated, although a general consensus exists that mitochondria are significantly involved in this process. However, the previously postulated role of mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) as the damaging agents inducing functional loss in aging has fallen out of favor in the recent past. In this review, we critically examine the role of ROS in aging in the light of recent advances on the relationship between mitochondrial structure and function. RECENT ADVANCES The functional mitochondrial respiratory chain is now recognized as a reflection of the dynamic association of respiratory complexes in the form of supercomplexes (SCs). Besides providing kinetic advantage (channeling), SCs control ROS generation by the respiratory chain, thus providing a means to regulate ROS levels in the cell. Depending on their concentration, these ROS are either physiological signals essential for the life of the cell or toxic species that damage cell structure and functions. CRITICAL ISSUES We propose that under physiological conditions the dynamic nature of SCs reversibly controls the generation of ROS as signals involved in mitochondrial-nuclear communication. During aging, there is a progressive loss of control of ROS generation so that their production is irreversibly enhanced, inducing a vicious circle in which signaling is altered and structural damage takes place. FUTURE DIRECTIONS A better understanding on the forces affecting SC association would allow the manipulation of ROS generation, directing these species to their physiological signaling role.

Abstract
Adriamycin (ADR) is a chemotherapeutic drug. Its toxicities may associate with mitochondriopathy. Selenium (Se) is a trace element for essential intracellular antioxidant enzymes. However, there is lack of data related to the effect of selenium on the liver tissue of ADR-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. The study was to investigate whether Se could restore mitochondrial dysfunction of liver-exposed ADR. Rats were divided into four groups as a control, ADR, Se, co-treated ADR with Se groups. The biochemical measurements of the liver were made in mitochondrial and cytosol. ATP level and mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) were measured. Total oxidant (TOS), total antioxidant (TAS) status were determined and oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated by using TOS and TAS. ADR increased TOS in mitochondria and also oxidative stress in mitochondria. ADR sligtly decreased MMP, and ATP level. Partial recovery of MMP by Se was able to elevate the ATP production in cotreatment of ADR with Se. TOS in mitochondria and cytosol was diminished, as well as OSI. We concluded that selenium could potentially be used against oxidative stress induced by ADR in liver, resulting from the restoration of MMP and ATP production and prevention of mitochondrial damage in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence indicating that the dietary intake of food with high antioxidant capacity may protect mitochondria from damage and exert positive effects on different pathogenic processes. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was designed to evaluate the possible protective effect of alcohol-free beer intake on chain components dysfunction of liver and heart mitochondria, and to compare with the effect of alcohol beer intake. METHODS The study was carried out in rat heart and liver mitochondria by inducing with Adriamycin the dysfunction of the respiratory chain. Heart and liver mitochondria were isolated from rats and subjected to oxidative stress with two doses of Adriamycin (5 mg/Kg) 7 days from the beginning of consumption of both alcohol-free and alcohol beer during 31 days. Complexes I and IV and the levels of coenzymes Q(9) and Q(10) were evaluated and compared with a control group. RESULTS Liver and heart mitochondria isolated from rats treated with Adryamicin showed a decrease in levels of complex I and complex IV enzymatic activity and in levels of coenzymes Q(9) and Q(10). Beer intake for itself does not affect any of the studied parameters. Therefore, the consumption of both alcohol and alcohol-free beer by rats treated with Adriamycin prevents the inhibition of enzymatic activities of complexes I and IV and the oxidation of coenzymes Q(9) and Q(10) in rat heart and liver mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that alcohol-free beer prevents adriamycin-induced damage to mitochondrial chain components and, therefore, helps to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anticancer drug, whose clinical use is limited on account of its toxicity. DOX cytotoxic effects have been associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during drug metabolism. ROS induce signaling cascades leading to changes in the phosphorylation status of target proteins, which are keys for cell survival or apoptosis. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are routes activated in response to oxidative stress. In this work, the effects of DOX on cytotoxicity, indicators of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde -MDA- and GSH), and the phosphorylation status of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), and p38 kinases were analyzed in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. DOX (1-50 microM) did not modify lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release into the medium, the levels of MDA (determined by high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]) or the intracellular GSH during the incubation time up to 6 h. GSH levels from mitochondria extracted by Percoll gradient from cultured hepatocytes were not modified by DOX, thus excluding its depletion or any impaired mitochondrial uptake. Characterization of proteins by Western blot analysis revealed that DOX increased phosphorylation of p38 kinases and JNK1 and JNK2 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. DOX also increased ERK2 phosphorylation at latter time points. In conclusion, DOX triggers activation of ERK, JNK, and p38 kinases in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes independently of oxidant damage.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the role of Beclin 1 on the susceptibility of HepG2 cells to undergo apoptosis after anti-Fas antibody or doxorubicin treatment.
METHODS: Beclin 1 silencing was achieved using RNA interference. DNA ploidy, the percentage of apoptotic cells and the mitochondrial membrane potential were assessed by flow cytometry. Levels of Beclin 1, Bcl-XL and cytochrome c, and the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were assayed by using Western blots.
RESULTS: Beclin 1 expression decreased by 75% 72 h after Beclin 1 siRNA transfection. Partial Beclin 1 silencing significantly increased the percentage of subG1 cells 24 and 40 h after treatment with doxorubicin or anti-Fas antibody, respectively, and this potentiation was abrogated by treatment with a pan-caspase inhibitor. Partial Beclin 1 silencing also increased PARP cleavage, mitochondrial membrane depolarization and cytosolic cytochrome c. The pro-apoptotic consequences of partial Beclin 1 silencing were not associated with a decline in Bcl-XL expression.
CONCLUSION: Partial Beclin 1 silencing aggravates mitochondrial permeabilization and apoptosis in HepG2 cells treated with an anti-Fas antibody or with doxorubicin.

Abstract
This review covers some novel findings on mitochondrial biochemistry and discusses diseases due to mitochondrial DNA mutations as a model of the changes occurring during physiological aging. The random collision model of organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain has been recently challenged on the basis of findings of supramolecular organization of respiratory chain complexes. The source of superoxide in Complex I is discussed on the basis of laboratory experiments using a series of specific inhibitors and is presumably iron sulfur center N2. Maternally inherited diseases due to mutations of structural genes in mitochondrial DNA are surveyed as a model of alterations mimicking those occurring during normal aging. The molecular defects in senescence are surveyed on the basis of the "Mitochondrial Theory of Aging", establishing mitochondrial DNA somatic mutations, caused by accumulation of oxygen radical damage, to be at the basis of cellular senescence. Mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species increases with aging and mitochondrial DNA mutations and deletions accumulate and may be responsible for oxidative phosphorylation defects. Evidence is presented favoring the mitochondrial theory, with primary mitochondrial alterations, although the problem is made more complex by changes in the cross-talk between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract
Defatted milled grape seed (DMGS) is a wine by-product obtained from the oil extraction of the grape seed that contains different types of phenolic compounds. The present study was designed to evaluate the possible protective effect of DMGS on toxicity induced by adriamycin (ADR) in isolated rat hepatocytes. The study was carried out by examining the results of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release to estimate cytotoxicity; the thiobarbituric acid reactant substances (TBARS) and carbonyl group levels were measured as biomarkers of oxidative stress and ATP and GSH levels as estimation of intracellular effect. The results showed that DMGS extract protects the cellular membrane from oxidative damage and consequently prevents protein and lipid oxidation. The levels of ATP and GSH changes for the ADR toxicity were restored to control value in the presence of DMGS extract. The experimental results suggest that this wine by-product may be used to decrease oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS As the impairment of the cellular energy metabolism contributes to the failure of fatty liver grafts after transplantation, we aimed to determine whether steatosis affects the oxidative phosphorylation activity during preservation. METHODS Rat normal and fatty livers were preserved for 18 h and then reperfused with warm oxygenated solution. The oxidative phosphorylation, the F(0)F(1)-ATPase and the Complex I activities were assessed in isolated mitochondria before and after preservation, and during reperfusion. The ALT release and portal pressure were monitored during reperfusion. RESULTS The baseline phosphorylation activity was similar in normal and steatotic mitochondria. After cold preservation, the respiratory control index and state 3 respiration decreased significantly only in steatotic livers. Reperfusion induced a further deterioration in either group. Contrary to normal liver, uncoupling of fatty liver mitochondria allowed the recovery of the maximal respiration rate only using succinate (Complex II-dependent substrate), but not glutamate-malate (Complex I-dependent). Complex I dysfunction was confirmed spectrophotometrically. The ATPase activity was also significantly lower in fatty livers. Finally, ALT release and portal pressure were greater in steatotic livers. CONCLUSIONS The alteration of the oxidative phosphorylation activity during preservation is greatly exacerbated by fatty infiltration likely resulting from damage of the respiratory chain Complex I and of the F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase.

Abstract
Mitochondria are known to be strong producers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, at the same time, particularly susceptible to the oxidative damage produced by their action on lipids, proteins, and DNA. In particular, damage to mtDNA induces alterations to the polypeptides encoded by mtDNA in the respiratory complexes, with consequent decrease of electron transfer, leading to further production of ROS and thus establishing a vicious circle of oxidative stress and energetic decline. This deficiency in mitochondrial energetic capacity is considered the cause of aging and age-related degenerative diseases. Complex I would be the enzyme most affected by ROS, since it contains seven of the 13 subunits encoded by mtDNA. Accordingly, we found that complex I activity is significantly affected by aging in rat brain and liver mitochondria as well as in human platelets. Moreover, due to its rate control over aerobic respiration, such alterations are reflected on the entire oxidative phosphorylation system. We also investigated the role of mitochondrial complex I in superoxide production and found that the one-electron donor to oxygen is most probably the Fe-S cluster N2. Short chain coenzyme Q (CoQ) analogues enhance ROS formation, presumably by mediating electron transfer from N2 to oxygen, both in bovine heart SMP and in cultured HL60 cells. Nevertheless, we have accumulated much evidence of the antioxidant role of reduced CoQ(10) in several cellular systems and demonstrated the importance of DT-diaphorase and other internal cellular reductases to reduce exogenous CoQ(10) after incorporation.

Abstract
Generation of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. This study examined pro-apoptotic mitochondrial cell death signals in an H9C2 myocyte rat cell line and in isolated rat heart mitochondria exposed to doxorubicin. Mitochondrial and cellular viability were assessed using an MTT viability assay (formazan product formed by functional mitochondrial dehydrogenases) and calcein AM dye (fluoresces upon cleavage by cytosolic esterases). Mitochondrial dysfunction followed by cell death was observed using nM concentrations of doxorubicin. Significant doxorubicin-induced cell death was not apparent until after 6 h following doxorubicin exposure using the calcein AM assay. The involvement of apoptosis is evidenced by an increase in TUNEL (terminal (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling)-positive nuclei following doxorubicin treatment. Furthermore, doxorubicin administered to isolated mitochondria induced a rapid increase in superoxide production, which persisted for at least 1 h and was followed by increased cytochrome c efflux. In addition, caspase-3 activity was increased with doxorubicin administration in the H9C2 myocyte cell line. An oxidant-mediated threshold of mitochondrial death may be required for doxorubicin-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
We compared NAD-dependent state 4 and state 3 respiration, NADH oxidation and Complex I specific activity in liver mitochondria from 4- and 30-month-old rats. All the activities examined were significantly decreased with aging. In both groups of animals, the flux control coefficients measured by rotenone titration indicated that Complex I is largely rate controlling upon NADH aerobic oxidation while, in state 3 respiration, it shares the control with other steps in the pathway. Moreover, we observed a trend wherein flux control coefficients of Complex I became higher with age. This indication was strengthened by examining the rotenone inhibition thresholds showing that Complex I becomes more rate controlling, over all the examined activities, during aging. Our results point out that age-related alterations of the mitochondrial functions are also present in tissues considered less prone to accumulate mitochondrial DNA mutations.

Abstract
Mitochondria are strongly involved in the production of reactive oxygen species, considered as the pathogenic agent of many diseases and of aging. The mitochondrial theory of aging considers somatic mutations of mitochondrial DNA induced by oxygen radicals as the primary cause of energy decline; experimentally, complex I appears to be mostly affected and to become strongly rate limiting for electron transfer. Mitochondrial bioenergetics is also deranged in human platelets upon aging, as shown by the decreased Pasteur effect (enhancement of lactate production by respiratory chain inhibition). Cells counteract oxidative stress by antioxidants; among lipophilic antioxidants, coenzyme Q is the only one of endogenous biosynthesis. Exogenous coenzyme Q, however, protects cells from oxidative stress by conversion into its reduced antioxidant form by cellular reductases.
