Abstract
Necroptosis represents a form of alternative programmed cell death that is dependent on the kinase RIP1. RIP1-dependent necroptotic death manifests as increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in mitochondria and is accompanied by loss of ATP biogenesis and eventual dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Here, we show that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced necroptosis requires the adaptor proteins FADD and NEMO. FADD was found to mediate formation of the TNF-α-induced pronecrotic RIP1-RIP3 kinase complex, whereas the IκB Kinase (IKK) subunit NEMO appears to function downstream of RIP1-RIP3. Interestingly, loss of RelA potentiated TNF-α-dependent necroptosis, indicating that NEMO regulates necroptosis independently of NF-κB. Using both pharmacologic and genetic approaches, we demonstrate that the overexpression of antioxidants alleviates ROS elevation and necroptosis. Finally, elimination of BAX and BAK or overexpression of Bcl-x(L) protects cells from necroptosis at a later step. These findings provide evidence that mitochondria play an amplifying role in inflammation-induced necroptosis.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Recently, we have reported that amyloid precursor protein (APP) stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) activity and beta-amyloid (Abeta) region of APP is involved in the interaction with PLD1. To elucidate the involvement of PLD in the pathophysiology of AD, we examined the expression of PLD1 and alteration of membrane phospholipid in mitochondrial membranes of control and AD brains using Western blot and phospholipid analysis by thin layer chromatography (TLC). We have found that protein expression of PLD1 was significantly increased in mitochondrial fraction of brains of AD patients compared with that in control brains. Furthermore, the concentration of mitochondrial phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was increased and the content of phosphatidic acid (PA), a product of PLD activity, was up-regulated in the mitochondrial membrane fractions of AD brain compared with that of control brain. These results suggest that up-regulation of PLD1 in the mitochondrial fraction of AD brain might affect the composition of membrane phospholipids and provide a clue to the mechanism underlying the mitochondrial dysfunction associated with AD.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used extensively in clinical medicine. One disadvantage of their use, however, is the occurrence of adverse effects in the kidneys. The side effects produced in this organ have been classically attributed to the inhibitory effect of these drugs on the activity of cyclooxygenase, a key enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis. Our earlier work with indomethacin, a commonly used NSAID, has shown that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction occur in the kidney in response to the drug. In view of this, this study looked into the effect of indomethacin on brush border membranes (BBM) from the kidney, as these biomembranes are prime targets of oxygen free radicals. Rats, fasted overnight, were dosed with indomethacin (20 mg/kg) by gavage and sacrificed 24 h later. BBM were isolated from the kidneys by polyethylene glycol precipitation. It was found that there was an increase in levels of products of peroxidation and a fall in the level of alpha-tocopherol in the BBM from indomethacin-dosed rats. These BBM also exhibited impaired glucose transport. The lipid composition of the membranes was also found to be altered. Alterations in lipids were associated with up-regulation of phospholipase A2. Pretreatment with L-arginine, a nitric oxide donor, protected against these effects of indomethacin. Thus, this study suggests that indomethacin induces impairment in structure and function of BBM in the kidney, with these effects possibly mediated by free radicals and activation of phospholipases. We postulate that such alterations may be important in the pathogenesis of NSAID-induced nephropathy.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and free radical-induced oxidative damage are critical factors in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, phospholipid breakdown by phospholipase D (PLD) has been recognized as an important signalling pathway in the nervous system. Here, we examined the expression of PLD and alteration of membrane phospholipid in scrapie brain. We have found that protein expression and enzyme activity of PLD1 were increased in scrapie brains compared with controls; in particular, there was an increase in the mitochondrial fraction. PLD1 in mitochondrial membranes from scrapie brains, but not from control brains, was tyrosine phosphorylated. Furthermore, the concentration of mitochondrial phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine was increased and the content of phosphatidic acid, a product of PLD activity, was up-regulated in the mitochondrial membrane fractions. Immunohistochemically, PLD1 immunoreactivity was significantly increased in activated astrocytes in both cerebral cortex and hippocampus of scrapie brains. Taken together, these results suggest that PLD activation might induce alterations in mitochondrial lipids and, in turn, mediate mitochondrial dysfunction in the brains of scrapie-infected mice.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used extensively in clinical medicine. In spite of their therapeutic utility, however, they are known to cause significant gastrointestinal and renal toxicities, circumstances that limit their use. The side effects produced in these organs have been attributed mainly to the inhibitory effect of these drugs on the activity of cyclooxygenase, a key enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis. In addition to this, in the small intestine it is known that reactive oxygen species also contribute to the enteropathy seen in response to these drugs. In the kidney, however, there is little information whether other mechanisms contribute to the renal toxicity. This study was designed to look at the possible biochemical mechanisms involved in indomethacin-induced renal damage. Rats fasted overnight were dosed with indomethacin (20 mg/kg) by gavage and sacrificed 24 hr later. Histology of the kidney showed abnormalities in the mitochondria in the proximal tubules. Evidence of oxidative stress was found in the kidney associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and neutrophil infiltration. The lipid composition in the mitochondria was also altered. Such effects were abolished by the prior administration of arginine, a donor of nitric oxide. This study, thus, suggests that one of the mechanisms by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induce renal damage is through oxygen free radicals possibly generated by activated neutrophils and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The small intestine is susceptible to free radical-induced damage and our earlier work has shown that surgical manipulation of the intestine results in generation of oxygen free radicals, leading to mucosal damage. Heat preconditioning has been shown to offer protection against various stresses including oxidative stress and this study looked at the effect of heat preconditioning on surgical manipulation-induced intestinal mitochondrial alterations. METHODS Control and rats pretreated with heat were subjected to surgical manipulation by opening the abdominal wall and handling the intestine as done during laparotomy. Mitochondria were prepared from isolated enterocytes and structural and functional alterations were assessed. RESULTS Surgical manipulation of the intestine resulted in mitochondrial alterations as seen by ultrastructural changes and altered lipid composition. Mitochondria were functionally impaired as evidenced by altered calcium flux, decreased respiratory control ratio, and increased tetrazolium dye reduction and swelling. Along with this, biochemical alterations such as increased lipid and protein oxidation were seen following surgical manipulation. Mild heat preconditioning of the animal prevented these damaging effects. CONCLUSIONS These studies suggest that stress in the small intestine due to surgery can affect enterocyte mitochondrial structure and function and these effects can be prevented by mild whole body hyperthermia prior to surgery.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is often associated with iron deficiency anemia and oral iron supplementation may be required. However, iron may increase oxidative stress through the Fenton reaction and thus exacerbate the disease. This study was designed to determine in rats with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis whether oral iron supplementation increases intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress and whether the addition of an antioxidant, vitamin E, would reduce this detrimental effect. Four groups of rats that consumed 50 g/L DSS in drinking water were studied for 7 d and were fed: a control, nonpurified diet (iron, 270 mg, and dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate, 49 mg/kg); diet + iron (iron, 3000 mg/kg); diet + vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate, 2000 mg/kg) and the diet + both iron and vitamin E, each at the same concentrations as above. Body weight change, rectal bleeding, histological scores, plasma and colonic lipid peroxides (LPO), plasma 8-isoprostane, colonic glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and plasma vitamin E were measured. Iron supplementation increased disease activity as demonstrated by higher histological scores and heavier rectal bleeding. This was associated with an increase in colonic and plasma LPO and plasma 8-isoprostane as well as a decrease in colonic GPx. Vitamin E supplementation decreased colonic inflammation and rectal bleeding but did not affect oxidative stress, suggesting another mechanism for reducing inflammation. In conclusion, oral iron supplementation resulted in an increase in disease activity in this model of colitis. This detrimental effect on disease activity was reduced by vitamin E. Therefore, the addition of vitamin E to oral iron supplementation may be beneficial.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to cause small intestinal damage but the pathogenesis of this toxicity is not well established. Intestinal epithelial cells are thought to be affected by these drugs in the course of their absorption. These cells are of different types, viz. villus, middle and crypt cells. There is little information on which of these cells, if any, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of NSAIDs. This paper aimed to study the effects of indomethacin, an NSAID commonly used in toxicity studies, on different populations of enterocytes. Effects of the drug were assessed in terms of oxidative damage, mitotic activity, mitochondrial function and lipid composition in enterocytes isolated from the small intestine of rats that had been orally administered indomethacin. In addition, the effects of arginine and zinc in protecting against such changes were assessed. Cell viability, tetrazolium dye (MTT) reduction and oxygen uptake were significantly reduced in villus tip cells from rats dosed with the drug. Thymidine uptake was higher in the crypt cell fraction from these rats. Similarly, products of lipid peroxidation were elevated in the villus tip cells with a corresponding decrease in the level of the anti-oxidant, alpha-tocopherol. In isolated mitochondrial preparations from various enterocyte fractions, significant functional impairment and altered lipid composition were seen mainly in mitochondria from villus cells. Arginine and zinc pre-treatment were found to protect against these effects. These results suggest for the first time that the villus tip cells are more vulnerable to the damaging effects of indomethacin and that oxidative stress is possibly involved in this damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intestine is highly susceptible to free radical-induced damage and earlier work has shown that surgical stress induces generation of oxygen free radicals in enterocytes, resulting in intestinal damage along with changes in mitochondrial structure and function. Nitric oxide is an important mediator of gastrointestinal function and this study looked at the effect of nitric oxide on surgical stress-induced intestinal mitochondrial alterations. METHODS Controls and rats pretreated with the nitric oxide donor L-arginine were subjected to surgical stress by opening the abdominal wall and handling the intestine. Enterocytes were isolated, mitochondria prepared and the protection offered by L-arginine against damage due to surgical stress was determined. Protection to structural as well as functional aspects of mitochondria was examined. RESULTS Mild handling of the intestine affected the enterocyte mitochondrial structure as assessed by lipid composition and electron microscopy. Mitochondria were also functionally impaired with altered calcium flux and decreased respiratory control ratio. Pretreatment with the nitric oxide synthase substrate L-arginine prevented these damaging effects of surgical stress. Protection with arginine was abolished by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, indicating the role of nitric oxide. CONCLUSION Surgical stress in the small intestine can affect enterocyte mitochondrial structure and function. These damaging effects can be prevented by nitric oxide, an important modulator of cellular function.

Abstract
Mammalian cells express a phospholipase D (PLD)-like enzyme which forms ethanolamine from phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) by a protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha)-activated, presently unknown, mechanism. Now we report that addition of a PKC-alpha-enriched purified PKC preparation or recombinant PKC-alpha to a plasma membrane-enriched membrane fraction, isolated from leukemic HL60 cells, greatly ( approximately 6.5-fold stimulation) enhanced PtdEtn hydrolysis if the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ATP were both present; this was accompanied by PKC-mediated phosphorylation of several membrane proteins. The combined effects of PKC-alpha, ATP, and PMA on [(14)C]PtdEtn hydrolysis were inhibited by GF 109203X (10 microM), an inhibitor of catalytic activity of PKC. In this membrane fraction, PMA alone also had a smaller ( approximately 3.5-fold) stimulatory effect on PtdEtn hydrolysis which was not affected by adding ATP or GF 109203X to the membranes. These results suggest that PMA can stimulate PtdEtn hydrolysis via a PKC-catalyzed phosphorylation mechanism as well as by a phosphorylation-independent process. Transformation of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts by H-ras reduced the effect of PMA on PtdEtn hydrolysis. Furthermore, in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, scrape-loaded Y13-259 anti Ras antibody enhanced PMA-stimulated hydrolysis of PtdEtn. These results suggest that activation of the PtdEtn-hydrolyzing PLD enzyme by PKC-alpha is inhibited by p21 Ras.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in cellular injury during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Mitochondria are one of the main targets of oxygen free radicals and damage to this organelle leads to cell death. Reports suggest that nitric oxide (NO) may offer protection from damage during I/R. This study has looked at the functional changes and lipid alteration to mitochondria during intestinal I/R and the protection offered by NO. It was observed that I/R of the intestine is associated with functional alterations in the mitochondria as suggested by MTT reduction, respiratory control ratio and mitochondrial swelling. Mitochondrial lipid changes suggestive of activation of phospholipase A(2) and phospholipase D were also seen after (I/R) mediated injury. These changes were prevented by the simultaneous presence of a NO donor in the lumen of the intestine. These studies have suggested that structural and functional alterations of mitochondria are prominent features of I/R injury to the intestine which can be ameliorated by NO.

Abstract
The activation of PLD is believed to play an important role in the regulation of cell function and cell fate by extracellular signal molecules. Multiple PLD activities have been characterized in mammalian cells and, more recently, several PLD genes have been cloned. Current evidence indicates that diverse PLD activities are localized in most, if not all, cellular organelles, where they are likely to subserve different functions in signal transduction, membrane vesicle trafficking and cytoskeletal dynamics.

Abstract
Our earlier studies have shown apoptosis in the villus tip cells of the monkey small intestinal epithelium. Because mitochondria have been implicated in the apoptotic process, this study looked at the function and lipid composition of mitochondria isolated from apoptotic villus tip cells and compared it with middle and crypt cells. Decreased MTT reduction and respiratory control ratio, increased swelling and altered mitochondrial enzyme activities were seen in the villus tip cell mitochondria when compared to other cells. The lipid composition of the villus tip mitochondria were different from the other mitochondria. A decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidyl-inositol and an increase in phosphatidic acid was seen in these mitochondria. Fatty acid composition analysis showed more unsaturated fatty acids in the free fatty acid and phospholipid fraction in villus tip cell mitochondria as compared to other cells. These studies suggest that in the monkey small intestinal epithelium, apoptotic process is associated with functional and structural alterations in the mitochondria.

Abstract
Phospholipids are important constituents of biomembrane components and are supposed to function as enzyme activators or precursors of bioactive substances. Our earlier work has shown an increased esterification of neutral lipids of HT-29 cells during butyrate-induced differentiation (M. Madesh, O. Benard, K.A. Balasubramanian, Butyrate-induced alteration in lipid composition of human colon cell line HT-29, Biochem. Mol. Biol. Int. 38 (1996) 659-664). In this report we show that there is an increase in phospholipase D (PLD) activity during butyrate-induced differentiation of HT-29 cells as indicated by the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA). When the control and butyrate-treated cell homogenates were incubated in vitro with 1 mM Ca2+, the increase in PA formation was higher than in butyrate-treated cells. This PA was formed due to PLD activity that was confirmed by the generation of phosphatidylethanol by in vitro incubation of HT-29 cell homogenates in the presence of ethanol. The formation of PA was associated with a decrease in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). This study has shown an increase in PLD activity associated with the differentiation of HT-29 cells.

Abstract
Inflammation is associated with oxidative stress and altered cellular calcium homeostasis. Our earlier studies have shown that, increased phosphatidic acid (PA) formation occurred in enterocyte mitochondria when exposed to superoxide, divalent metal ions or polyamines resulting in altered lipid composition. Since aminosalicylates are the drug of choice for gut inflammation, we have tested the effect of aminosalicylates on PA formation by enterocyte mitochondria. When stimulated by superoxide, Ca2+ or spermine, phosphatidyleth-anolamine (PE) degradation and PA formation occurred in enterocyte mitochondria which can be inhibited by aminosalicylates. The inhibition was 50-60% at 0.5-mM concentration and at 1- or 2-mM final concentration, complete inhibition was observed. Both 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) and 4-aminosalicylate (4-ASA) showed similar effects. The stimulation of PA formation by calcium or spermine was not due to increased generation of superoxide by mitochondria which was confirmed by measurement of superoxide production by the mitochondria. These studies suggest that in addition to other cellular effects, aminosalicylates may prevent the enterocyte mitochondrial damage by inhibition of PA formation and PE degradation and alteration of mitochondrial lipid composition.

Abstract
Mitochondrial swelling and calcium cycling occurs during oxidative stress and can be prevented by cyclosporin A (CysA). Our earlier work has shown that enterocyte mitochondria contains a phospholipase D (PLD) which can be activated by superoxide or calcium. In this study, we have shown that enterocyte mitochondrial PLD activated by these agents can be inhibited by cyclosporin A. This was clearly shown by the absence of phosphatidic acid (PA) formation and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) degradation. Since this PLD specifically utilizes PE as substrate, PLD activity was also assessed by ethanolamine formation which was inhibited by CysA. CysA also inhibited the cabbage PLD activity as judged by phosphatidylethanol formation. These results suggest that cyclosporin A is an inhibitor of PLD and this may be one of the mechanism by which CysA protects enterocyte mitochondria from oxidative stress.
