Abstract
This review examines the possible role of mitochondria in maintaining calcium and phosphate ion homeostasis and participating in the mineralization of bone, cartilage and other vertebrate hard tissues. The paper builds on the known structural features of mitochondria and the documented observations in these tissues that the organelles contain calcium phosphate granules. Such deposits in mitochondria putatively form to buffer excessively high cytosolic calcium ion concentrations and prevent metabolic deficits and even cell death. While mitochondria protect cytosolic enzyme systems through this buffering capacity, the accumulation of calcium ions by mitochondria promotes the activity of enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA/Krebs) cycle, increases oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis, and leads to changes in intramitochondrial pH. These pH alterations influence ion solubility and possibly the transitions and composition in the mineral phase structure of the granules. Based on these considerations, mitochondria are proposed to support the mineralization process by providing a mobile store of calcium and phosphate ions, in smaller cluster or larger granule form, while maintaining critical cellular activities. The rise in the mitochondrial calcium level also increases the generation of citrate and other TCA cycle intermediates that contribute to cell function and the development of extracellular mineral. This paper suggests that another key role of the mitochondrion, along with the effects just noted, is to supply phosphate ions, derived from the breakdown of ATP, to endolysosomes and autophagic vesicles originating in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi and at the plasma membrane. These many separate but interdependent mitochondrial functions emphasize the critical importance of this organelle in the cellular control of vertebrate mineralization.

Substrate- and Calcium-Dependent Differential Regulation of Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation and Energy Production in the Heart and Kidney. Cells 2021; 11:131.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dehydrogenases are differentially stimulated by Ca2+. Ca2+ has also diverse regulatory effects on mitochondrial transporters and other enzymes. However, the consequences of these regulatory effects on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and ATP production, and the dependencies of these consequences on respiratory substrates, have not been investigated between the kidney and heart despite the fact that kidney energy requirements are second only to those of the heart. Our objective was, therefore, to elucidate these relationships in isolated mitochondria from the kidney outer medulla (OM) and heart. ADP-induced mitochondrial respiration was measured at different CaCl2 concentrations in the presence of various respiratory substrates, including pyruvate + malate (PM), glutamate + malate (GM), alpha-ketoglutarate + malate (AM), palmitoyl-carnitine + malate (PCM), and succinate + rotenone (SUC + ROT). The results showed that, in both heart and OM mitochondria, and for most complex I substrates, Ca2+ effects are biphasic: small increases in Ca2+ concentration stimulated, while large increases inhibited mitochondrial respiration. Furthermore, significant differences in substrate- and Ca2+-dependent O2 utilization towards ATP production between heart and OM mitochondria were observed. With PM and PCM substrates, Ca2+ showed more prominent stimulatory effects in OM than in heart mitochondria, while with GM and AM substrates, Ca2+ had similar biphasic regulatory effects in both OM and heart mitochondria. In contrast, with complex II substrate SUC + ROT, only inhibitory effects on mitochondrial respiration was observed in both the heart and the OM. We conclude that the regulatory effects of Ca2+ on mitochondrial OxPhos and ATP synthesis are biphasic, substrate-dependent, and tissue-specific.

Abstract
During exercise, muscle ATP demand increases with intensity, and at the highest power output, ATP consumption may increase more than 100-fold above the resting level. The rate of mitochondrial ATP production during exercise depends on the availability of O2, carbon substrates, reducing equivalents, ADP, Pi, free creatine, and Ca2+. It may also be modulated by acidosis, nitric oxide and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). During fatiguing and repeated sprint exercise, RONS production may cause oxidative stress and damage to cellular structures and may reduce mitochondrial efficiency. Human studies indicate that the relatively low mitochondrial respiratory rates observed during sprint exercise are not due to lack of O2, or insufficient provision of Ca2+, reduced equivalents or carbon substrates, being a suboptimal stimulation by ADP the most plausible explanation. Recent in vitro studies with isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria, studied in conditions mimicking different exercise intensities, indicate that ROS production during aerobic exercise amounts to 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than previously thought. In this review, we will focus on the mechanisms regulating mitochondrial respiration, particularly during high-intensity exercise. We will analyze the factors that limit mitochondrial respiration and those that determine mitochondrial efficiency during exercise. Lastly, the differences in mitochondrial respiration between men and women will be addressed.

Abstract
Mitochondria possess a Ca2+ transport system composed of separate Ca2+ influx and efflux pathways. Intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentrations regulate oxidative phosphorylation, required for cell function and survival, and mitochondrial redox balance, that participates in a myriad of signaling and damaging pathways. The interaction between Ca2+ accumulation and redox imbalance regulates opening and closing of a highly regulated inner membrane pore, the membrane permeability transition pore (PTP). In this review, we discuss the regulation of the PTP by mitochondrial oxidants, reactive nitrogen species, and the interactions between these species and other PTP inducers. In addition, we discuss the involvement of mitochondrial redox imbalance and PTP in metabolic conditions such as atherogenesis, diabetes, obesity and in mtDNA stability.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2017; 1864:1009-1017. [PMID: 28132899 PMCID: PMC5424885 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2017.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2016] [Revised: 01/20/2017] [Accepted: 01/21/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Loss of function mutations of the protein MICU1, a regulator of mitochondrial Ca2 + uptake, cause a neuronal and muscular disorder characterised by impaired cognition, muscle weakness and an extrapyramidal motor disorder. We have shown previously that MICU1 mutations cause increased resting mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2 +]m). We now explore the functional consequences of MICU1 mutations in patient derived fibroblasts in order to clarify the underlying pathophysiology of this disorder. We propose that deregulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake through loss of MICU1 raises resting [Ca2+]m, initiating a futile Ca2+ cycle, whereby continuous mitochondrial Ca2+ influx is balanced by Ca2+ efflux through the sodium calcium exchanger (NLCXm). Thus, inhibition of NCLXm by CGP-37157 caused rapid mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation in patient but not control cells. We suggest that increased NCLX activity will increase sodium/proton exchange, potentially undermining oxidative phosphorylation, although this is balanced by dephosphorylation and activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in response to the increased [Ca2+]m. Consistent with this model, while ATP content in patient derived or control fibroblasts was not different, ATP increased significantly in response to CGP-37157 in the patient but not the control cells. In addition, EMRE expression levels were altered in MICU1 patient cells compared to the controls. The MICU1 mutations were associated with mitochondrial fragmentation which we show is related to altered DRP1 phosphorylation. Thus, MICU1 serves as a signal–noise discriminator in mitochondrial calcium signalling, limiting the energetic costs of mitochondrial Ca2+ signalling which may undermine oxidative phosphorylation, especially in tissues with highly dynamic energetic demands. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: ECS Meeting edited by Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs and Jacques Haiech. Loss of MICU1 protein expression in human fibroblasts increases resting mitochondrial calcium concentration ([Ca2+]m). The increased mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake causes a futile Ca2+ cycle in MICU1 deficient cells. Increased [Ca2+]mactivates pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) by activating PDH phosphatase, consequently dephosphorylating PDH. Loss of MICU1 leads to modifications of the MCU complex composition and mitochondrial fragmentation.

Abstract
Calcium signaling is pivotal to a host of physiological pathways. A rise in calcium concentration almost invariably signals an increased cellular energy demand. Consistent with this, calcium signals mediate a number of pathways that together serve to balance energy supply and demand. In pathological states, calcium signals can precipitate mitochondrial injury and cell death, especially when coupled to energy depletion and oxidative or nitrosative stress. This review explores the mechanisms that couple cell signaling pathways to metabolic regulation or to cell death. The significance of these pathways is exemplified by pathological case studies, such as those showing loss of mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 in patients and ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Consumption of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the heart can change dramatically as the energetic demands increase from a period of rest to strenuous activity. Mitochondrial ATP production is central to this metabolic response since the heart relies largely on oxidative phosphorylation as its source of intracellular ATP. Significant evidence has been acquired indicating that Ca(2+) plays a critical role in regulating ATP production by the mitochondria. Here the evidence that the Ca(2+) concentration in the mitochondrial matrix ([Ca(2+)]m) plays a pivotal role in regulating ATP production by the mitochondria is critically reviewed and aspects of this process that are under current active investigation are highlighted. Importantly, current quantitative information on the bidirectional Ca(2+) movement across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) is examined in two parts. First, we review how Ca(2+) influx into the mitochondrial matrix depends on the mitochondrial Ca(2+) channel (i.e., the mitochondrial calcium uniporter or MCU). This discussion includes how the MCU open probability (PO) depends on the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and on the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Second, we discuss how steady-state [Ca(2+)]m is determined by the dynamic balance between this MCU-based Ca(2+) influx and mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCLX) based Ca(2+) efflux. These steady-state [Ca(2+)]m levels are suggested to regulate the metabolic energy supply due to Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of mitochondrial enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), the proteins of the electron transport chain (ETC), and the F1F0 ATP synthase itself. We conclude by discussing the roles played by [Ca(2+)]m in influencing mitochondrial responses under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) is made by kidney collecting duct cells for targeting of nephron mitochondria to promote respiratory uncoupling and calcium uniport activity. However, the purpose of these actions and how the renal gene is regulated are poorly understood. This study has addressed the latter issue by monitoring renal STC-1 gene expression in different models of kidney function. Unilateral nephrectomy and over-hydration had no bearing on renal gene activity in adult Wistar rats. Dehydration, on the other hand, had time-dependent stimulatory effects in male and female kidney cortex, where STC-1 mRNA levels increased 8-fold by 72h. Medullary gene activity was significantly increased as well, but muted in comparison ( approximately 2-fold). Gene induction was accompanied by an increase in mitochondrial sequestration of STC-1 protein. Aldosterone and angiotensin II had no bearing on STC-1 gene induction, although there was evidence of a role for arginine vasopressin. Gene induction was unaltered in integrin alpha1 knockout mice, which have an impaired tonicity enhancer binding protein (TonEBP) response to dehydration. The STC-1 gene response could be cytoprotective in intent, as dehydration entails a fall in renal blood flow and a rise in medullary interstitial osmolality. Alternatively, STC-1 could have a role in salt and water balance as dehydration necessitates water conservation as well as controlled natriuresis and kaliuresis.

Abstract
Calcium is an extraordinarily versatile signaling ion, encoding cellular responses to a wide variety of external stimuli. In neurons, mitochondria can accumulate enormous amounts of calcium, with the consequence that mitochondrial calcium uptake, sequestration and release play pivotal roles in orchestrating calcium-dependent responses as diverse as gene transcription and cell death. In this review, we consider the basic chemistry of calcium as a 'sticky' cation, which leads to extremely high bound/free ratios, and discuss areas of current interest or controversy. Topics addressed include methodologies for measuring local intracellular calcium, mitochondrial calcium buffering and loading capacity, mitochondrially directed spatial calcium gradients, and the role of calcium overload-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction in glutamate-evoked excitotoxic injury and neurodegeneration. Finally, we consider the relationship between delayed calcium de-regulation, the mitochondrial permeability transition and the generation of reactive oxygen species, and propose a unified view of the 'source specificity' and 'calcium overload' models of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent excitotoxicity. Non-NMDA receptor mechanisms of excitotoxicity are discussed briefly.

Abstract
Chondrocytes may control the mineralization of the extracellular matrix of condylar cartilage by several mechanisms including the release of microvesicles involved in the initial nucleation, the creation or modification of the local matrix to help propagate or restrict mineralization, and the regulation of the ionic environment at the calcifying foci within the matrix. The plasma membrane Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase (Ca2+ pump) is known to play a part in the vectorial efflux of calcium in a variety of cells including chondrocytes. The purpose here was to study the distribution of Ca2+-pump protein in mandibular condyles from growing and adult rabbits, and compare the expression of that protein in progressively differentiating chondrocytes whose final stage is associated with a mineralized extracellular matrix. Ca2+-pump antigen was identified immunohistochemically in six growing and six adult rabbit mandibular condyles with a Ca2+ pump-specific monoclonal antibody. The presence of Ca2+-pump antigen was established in hypertrophic chondrocytes, and in osteoblasts and osteoclasts of subchondral bone. Slot-blot analysis of nitrocellulose-immobilized chondrocyte homogenates showed that the amount of Ca2+ pump in growing cartilage was more than twice that in adult cartilage (p < 0.05). The demonstration of Ca2+-pump antigen in the hypertrophic chondrocytes of growing rabbit condyles is consistent with a role for the plasma-membrane Ca2+ pump in the calcification of mandibular condylar cartilage.

Abstract
In both the growth plate and in marrow stromal cell cultures cell-mediated mineralization is preceded by characteristics of anaerobic and low efficiency energy metabolism. Reagents that increase mineralization like malonate and dexamethasone (DEX) also increase the mitochondrial membrane potential (MtMP) especially 1 week after DEX stimulation. Contrarily, levamisole, which decreases mineralization, also decreases MtMP. Modulation of MtMP and energy metabolism could be linked to regulation of mineralization by the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. This uncoupling should be associated with thermogenesis in cells that induce mineralization. We examined whether cold temperature affects mineralization, and whether cellular thermogenesis takes place at cold temperature in parallel to changes in MtMP. Osteoprogenitor cells (OPC) induced, in DEX stimulated rat marrow stroma, higher mineralization at 33 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Increased mineralization by cold temperature required long incubation since incubation in the cold during short intervals, 3-4 days, did not increase mineralization relative to (37 degrees C) controls. Marrow stromal cells in the presence of valinomycin responded to incubation at 33 degrees C by retaining all the vital dye after 4 h, unlike the cells at 37 degrees C; however, after 24 h the level of dye retention at 33 degrees C was the same as at 37 degrees C. The delayed response of the temperature-dependent (> 37 degrees C) K+ ionophor to incubation in the cold indicated that certain cells may respond to low temperature by local intracellular heating, and by heat conduction to the plasma membrane. DEX-stimulated stromal cells, unlike unstimulated cells, showed increased mitochondrial rhodamine 123 retention in the presence of valinomycin after 24 h in the cold, which corresponds to day 4 of OPC induction. This is consistent with the concept that valinomycin-induced cell damage is mediated by (cold-induced) local heating. The mechanism of this cell damage should selectively prefer nonthermogenic (rhodamine retaining) over thermogenic (rhodamine leaking) cells such as OPC. At cold temperature DEX-stimulated stromal cells showed the best anti-OPC selection under exposure to valinomycine between days 3-7, concurrent with the period of rhodamine leakage from the mitochondria. These results indicate that thermogenesis is enhanced during the period of low MtMP in mineralizing cells, and prolonged exposure to cold increases mineralization also due to induction of subtle thermogenesis.

Abstract
The act of chondrocyte preparation for primary, enchondral, mineralization is associated with a decline in mitochondrial respiration toward the end of the proliferative zone and the hypertrophic zone in the growth plate. Dexamethasone (Dex)-stimulated cultures of rat marrow stroma constitute a differentiation model simulating, in its energy metabolism, chondrocyte mineralization. In this model, early inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enriches the culture with mineralizing cells, whereas levamisole inhibits mineralization. Dex also increases mitochondrial membrane potential in stromal cells, especially on days 7-8 of stimulation. In the present study, suicide inhibition of SDH, by nitropropionic acid (NPA), in Dex-stimulated cells showed a dose-dependent increase in day 21 mineralization; the maximal effect was induced on days 2-4 of stimulation. Mineralization under 2-day-long exposure to NPA showed a similar trend to the previously studied effect of continuous exposure to malonate applied between days 3-11. Unlike malonate, the effect of NPA required its presence in the cultures for only 2 days and resulted in higher mineralization than that seen under 8 days of malonate. NPA delineated a period, days 2/4 to 7/9, in which inhibition of succinate oxidation is necessary to augment mineralization. During this period, NPA also exhibited OPC selection capacity. Early application of levamisole, under conditions previously shown to decrease day 21 mineralization, maintained mitochondrial membrane potential at the beginning of Dex stimulation but decreased or had little effect on it during days 5-10. By contrast, malonate previously found to increase day 21 mineralization decreased the membrane potential at the beginning of Dex stimulation but increased it later on day 7, or during days 5-10. These results indicate that during osteoprogenitor differentiation, before the mineralization stage, a surge in mitochondrial inner membrane potential during late matrix maturation may be a marker that heralds the extracellular matrix mineralization.

Abstract
The mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ ratio for free nucleotides in rat pancreatic islets was judged from the cell content in L-glutamate and L-alanine, 2-ketoglutarate and pyruvate, and NH4+. At a physiological concentration of D-glucose, such a ratio averaged 9.6 +/- 1.1%. A rise in hexose concentrations, above a threshold value in excess of 5.6 mM, caused a rapid, sustained and rapidly reversible decrease in the mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ ratio. It is speculated that in the process of glucose-stimulated insulin release, the latter change participates in the coupling between metabolic and secretory events by favouring both the activity of key mitochondrial dehydrogenases and the translocation of Ca2+ from the mitochondria into the cytosol.

Abstract
Knowledge concerning the pathophysiologic mechanisms of traumatic optic neuropathy is limited. The optic nerve is a tract of the brain. Therefore, the cellular and biochemical pathophysiology of brain and spinal cord trauma and ischemia provide insight into mechanisms that may operate in traumatic optic neuropathy. The dosage of methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg/6 hours) which was successful in the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study 2 (NASCIS 2) evolved from the unique pharmacology of corticosteroids as antioxidants. The management of traumatic optic neuropathy rests on an accurate diagnosis which begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment and appropriate neuroimaging. The results of medical and surgical strategies for treating this injury have not been demonstrated to be better than those achieved without treatment. The spinal cord is a mixed grey and white matter tract of the brain in contrast to the optic nerve which is a pure white matter tract. The treatment success seen with methylprednisolone in the NASCIS 2 study may not generalize to the treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy. Conversely, if the treatment does generalize to the optic nerve, NASCIS 2 data suggests that treatment must be started within eight hours of injury, making traumatic optic neuropathy one of the true ophthalmic emergencies. Given the uncertainties in the treatment, ophthalmologists involved in the management of traumatic optic neuropathy are encouraged to participate in the collaborative study of traumatic optic neuropathy.

Abstract
Previous investigations concerned with in vitro osteogenesis and mineralization have revealed some indication of a participation of cell necroses in the course of calcification. These observations were confirmed by in vivo investigations on desmoid ossification in fetal mouse calvariae, where abundant necrotic osteoblasts were found at the mineralization border and in the osteoid. In the present study, ossification of long bone cortices from fetal mice was investigated by use of electron microscopy. Specimens obtained from the collection of the Institute of Anatomy, Free University of Berlin (mouse fetuses, forearm; rat fetuses, forearm) were reinvestigated for control purposes. In all cases, mineralization of osteoid was accompanied by cell necroses. Cell degeneration was characterized by swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and loss of the plasma membrane resulting in freely distributed vesicular structures. Cell debris was incorporated within the mineral. Initially, cell necroses in the perichondrium occurred in the region surrounding the hypertrophic cartilage and the matrix of which showed spots of endochondral mineralization. Necrotic osteoblasts occurred simultaneously with mineralization of the osteoid. During further ossification of the long bone cortices, the number of necrotic cells increased markedly. In addition to necrotic cells, healthy osteoblasts, osteocytes and perichondral tissue were present, indicating that an artifact can be excluded. The importance of cell necroses in the process of mineralization is as yet unclear. Possibly, the cells act as calcium and/or phosphate stores, which are liberated by cell death to increase the amount of mineral constituents at sites of mineralization.

Abstract
The fundamental myocellular uptake and retention mechanisms of hexakis (2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile) technetium(I) (Tc-MIBI), a technetium-99m-based myocardial perfusion imaging agent, are unresolved. Because of the lipophilic cationic nature of Tc-MIBI, it may be distributed across biological membranes in response to transmembrane potential. To test this hypothesis, net uptake and retention of Tc-MIBI in cultured chick embryo ventricular myocytes were determined under conditions known to alter mitochondrial and plasma membrane potentials. Isovolumic depolarization of plasma membrane potentials in 130 mM extracellular K (Ko) 20 mM extracellular Cl buffer reduced net accumulation of Tc-MIBI from 171 +/- 16 (control) to 29 +/- 3.3 fmol intracellular Tc-MIBI/mg protein.nM extracellular Tc-MIBI. Unidirectional influx of Tc-MIBI in cells depolarized in 30 mM Ko buffer was also reduced; a resting plasma membrane potential of -87 +/- 6 mV was calculated from the Goldman flux equation using normal Ko/high Ko Tc-MIBI influx ratios. Addition of the potassium ionophore valinomycin to cells incubated in 130 mM Ko buffer to additionally depolarize mitochondrial membrane potentials further reduced net uptake of Tc-MIBI to levels comparable to that found in nonviable freeze-thawed preparations ([Tc-MIBI]i/[Tc-MIBI]o = 1). By depolarizing mitochondrial (and in part plasma membrane) potentials with the protonophores 2,4-dinitrophenol and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) Tc-MIBI was rapidly depleted from 181 +/- 16 (control) to 16 +/- 2.6 and 31 +/- 4.2 fmol/mg protein.nMo, respectively, with kinetics that did not correlate with loss of cellular ATP content. CCCP alone inhibited 90 +/- 3% of net accumulation or 66 +/- 3% of unidirectional influx of Tc-MIBI in a concentration-dependent manner. By hyperpolarizing mitochondrial membrane potentials with the K+/H+ ionophore nigericin or the ATP synthase inhibitor oligomycin, net uptake and retention of Tc-MIBI were increased by 60 +/- 9% and 375 +/- 20%, respectively. Caffeine, as well as the respiratory chain electron transport inhibitor rotenone, did not significantly alter net cell uptake (p greater than 0.2). These data indicate that the fundamental myocellular uptake mechanism of Tc-MIBI involves passive distribution across plasma and mitochondrial membranes and that at equilibrium Tc-MIBI is sequestered within mitochondria by the large negative transmembrane potentials.

Abstract
A rise in extracellular D-glucose concentration results in a preferential and Ca2(+)-dependent stimulation of mitochondrial oxidative events in pancreatic islet cells. The possible participation of Ca2(+)-dependent mitochondrial dehydrogenases, especially 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, in such an unusual metabolic situation was explored in intact islets, islet homogenates and isolated islet mitochondria. In intact islets exposed to a high concentration of D-glucose, the removal of extracellular Ca2+ impaired D-[6-14C]glucose oxidation whilst failing to affect the cytosolic or mitochondrial ATP/ADP ratios. In islet homogenates, the activity of 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase displayed exquisite Ca2(+)-dependency, the presence of Ca2+ causing a 10-fold increase in affinity for 2-ketoglutarate. In intact islet mitochondria, the oxidation of 2-[1-14C]ketoglutarate also increased as a function of extramitochondrial Ca2+ availability. Moreover, prior stimulation of intact islets by D-glucose resulted in an increased capacity of mitochondria to oxidize 2-[1-14C]ketoglutarate. The absence of extracellular Ca2+ during the initial stimulation of intact islets impaired but did not entirely suppress such a memory phenomenon. It is proposed that the mitochondrial accumulation of Ca2+ in nutrient-stimulated islets indeed accounts, in part at least, for the preferential stimulation of mitochondrial oxidative events in this fuel-sensor organ.

Abstract
Evidence is reviewed that favors the hypothesis that maintenance of glycolysis plays a special role in protecting membrane function in ischemia. Therefore all procedures stimulating glycolytic flux should be beneficial in ischemia, and procedures inhibiting flux should be harmful. However, a crucial consideration is the coronary flow rate. In severe ischemia, accumulation of protons, derived not directly from glycolytic flux but from the breakdown of ATP and from proton-producing cycles, will tend to inhibit glycolysis and to minimize any benefit from increased glycolytic flux. Therefore maintenance of intracellular pH is crucial to the concept of the benefits of glycolysis. It also follows that the severity of ischemia can determine whether or not enhanced glycolysis has a beneficial effect. It is argued that a multiple approach, including enhanced glycolytic flux, control of intracellular pH, and improved coronary flow, constitutes the combination most likely to benefit ischemia.

Abstract
X-ray microprobe analysis was used to determine the effects of axotomy on distribution and concentration (millimoles of element per kilogram dry weight) of Na, P, Cl, K, and Ca in frozen, unfixed sections of rat sciatic nerve. Elemental concentrations were measured in axoplasm, mitochondria, and myelin at 8, 16, and 48 h after transection in small-, medium-, and large-diameter fibers. In addition, elemental composition was determined in extraaxonal space (EAS) and Schwann cell cytoplasm. During the initial 16 h following transection, axoplasm of small fibers exhibited a decrease in dry weight concentrations of K and Cl, whereas Na and P increased compared to control values. Similar changes were observed in mitochondria of small axons, except for an early, large increase in Ca content. In contrast, intraaxonal compartments of larger fibers showed increased dry weight levels of K and P, with no changes in Na or Ca concentrations. Both Schwann cell cytoplasm and EAS at 8 and 16 h after injury had significant increases in Na, K, and Cl dry weight concentrations, whereas no changes, other than an increase in Ca, were observed in myelin. Regardless of fiber size, 48 h after transection, axoplasm and mitochondria displayed marked increases in Na, Cl, and Ca concentrations associated with decreased K. Also at 48 h, both Schwann cell cytoplasm and EAS had increased dry weight concentrations of Na, Cl, and K. The results of this study indicate that, in response to nerve transection, elemental content and distribution are altered according to a specific temporal pattern. This sequence of change, which occurs first in small axons, precedes the onset of Wallerian degeneration in transected nerves.

Abstract
Electron microscopic localization of calcium-containing mitochondria in stratum radiatum of CAl of hippocampal slices was performed after (1) low-frequency stimulation, (2) high-frequency stimulation, and (3) blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors during high-frequency stimulation. Dendritic mitochondria containing Ca deposits were found in a narrow band of stratum radiatum 280-350 microns distant from stratum pyramidale. Axonal mitochondria containing Ca deposits were evenly distributed in stratum radiatum. The total number of calcium containing-mitochondria was highest in long-term potentiated slices, and less in slices treated with APV; the lowest values were obtained with low-frequency stimulation.

Abstract
The effects of calcium channel antagonists on Ca2+ uptake and Na+-induced Ca2+ release were studied in isolated rat cardiac mitochondria. Diltiazem, nitrendipine and nimodipine were more effective inhibitors of Na+-induced Ca2+ release (IC50 = 19-100 microM) than of Ca2+ uptake (IC50 = 0.2-1 mM). Nitrendipine and nimodipine had virtually identical IC50 values for inhibiting Ca2+ uptake, but nitrendipine was 3-4 times more potent than nimodipine at inhibiting Na+-induced Ca2+ release. If these calcium channel antagonists achieve intracellular concentrations in the range of 10(-5)-10(-4) M, our results suggest that calcium channel antagonists would preferentially inhibit mitochondrial calcium release more than mitochondrial calcium uptake.

Abstract
The effect of adriamycin aglycones on Ca2+ retention by isolated, preloaded rat heart mitochondria was assessed. After an initial lag, which decreased with increasing drug concentration, the 7-hydroxy-aglycone (5-20 microM) triggered Ca2+ release. Aglycone-induced Ca2+ release was correlated with Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial swelling, Ca2+-dependent collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential, Ca2+-dependent oxidation of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides, and a transition from the condensed to the orthodox configuration. Aglycone-induced Ca2+ release was inhibited by dibucaine, dithiothreitol, ATP, and bovine serum albumin. It can be concluded, therefore, that aglycone-induced Ca2+ release reflects the Ca2+-dependent increase in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to solutes of molecular weight less than 1000 which has been observed with other triggering agents [R. A. Haworth and D. R. Hunter, Archs Biochem. Biophys. 195, 460 (1979); I. Al-Nasser and M. Crompton, Biochem. J. 239, 19 (1986)]. In particular, the 7-hydroxy-aglycone decreased the amount of Ca2+ required to trigger the permeability increase. No effect of the aglycone on Ca2+ uptake could be discerned. 7-Deoxy-adriamycin aglycone, the more prominent biological metabolite of adriamycin, was similarly effective in inducing Ca2+ release, and both aglycones were substantially more effective than the parent drug. Adriamycin and related anthracyclines are potent antineoplastic agents, the clinical use of which is limited by severe cardiotoxicity. These results suggest that aglycone formation and the resultant disruption of both cellular Ca2+ homeostasis and metabolite compartmentation may mediate anthracycline cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
We report the presence of crystalline deposits of calcium hydroxyapatite in the mitochondria of 2 children with sporadic spinocerebellar degeneration. The deposits, identified by electron microscopy, were found in the mitochondria of neurons and smooth muscle cells in one patient and in only smooth muscle cells in the second child, but not in other cell types. The calcific nature of the deposits was confirmed by laser microprobe mass analysis. The calcium overload may interfere with mitochondrial function, as has been shown in the cardiomyopathic strain of the Syrian hamster, a model of the cardiomyopathy of Friedreich's ataxia.

Abstract
It has been suggested that accumulation of lipid metabolites, such as fatty acids, fatty acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine, in the ischaemic myocardium, may be responsible for disturbances in mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. In view of the presence of an intracellular fatty acid binding protein, the question arose whether these intermediates affect mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release similarly in vivo. In this study the effects of linoleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoyl-CoA and palmitoylcarnitine were studied on mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes in the absence and presence of albumin, an avid binder of fatty acid derivatives. Albumin reversed the effects of the above compounds on mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release, suggesting that the presence of an intracellular fatty acid binding protein may protect the ischaemic myocardial cell against the deleterious effects of accumulated fatty acid derivatives.

Abstract
Regulation of the cytosolic free calcium concentration is important to neutrophil function. In these studies, an ATP-dependent calcium uptake pump has been identified in human neutrophil lysosomes. This energy-dependent Ca++ uptake pump has a high affinity for Ca++ (Michaelis constant [Km] Ca++ = 107 nM) and a maximum velocity (Vmax) of 5.3 pmol/mg of protein per min. ATP was the only nucleotide that supported Ca++ uptake by lysosomes. The Km for ATP was 177 microM. ATP-dependent Ca++ uptake by neutrophil lysosomes was temperature- and pH-sensitive with optimal Ca++ pump activity at 37 degrees C and pH 7.0-7.5. Mg++ was also essential for ATP-dependent Ca++ uptake by lysosomes. Azide and antimycin A had no effect on the energy-dependent uptake of Ca++ by neutrophil lysosomes. The chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine inhibited ATP-dependent Ca++ accumulation by isolated lysosomes. Butoxycarbonyl-phenylalanine-leucine-phenylalanine-leucine-phenylalanine , a competitive antagonist of the chemotactic peptide, blocked this inhibitory effect. These studies demonstrate the presence of an ATP-dependent Ca++ uptake pump in human neutrophil lysosomes that functions at physiologic intracellular concentrations of Ca++, ATP, and H+ and may be important to regulating neutrophil function by modulating cytosolic Ca++.

Abstract
Continuous stimulation with 8 pM cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) induced a gradual increase in pancreatic protein output and little if any change in redox state of cytochromes aa3, b, and c + c1. The protein output was completely abolished when CaCl2 was removed from the perfusing and bathing solution. Continuous stimulation with 200 pM CCK-8 induced the rapid and largest protein output and a distinct reduction of cytochromes and nicotinamide nucleotides. These responses were partially decreased in the Ca2+-deficient environment and enhanced immediately after the replacement with the standard solution. These and other results are compatible with the view that reduction of electron transfer system in the pancreatic acinar cell may be induced by stimulation with the secretagogue in pharmacological concentration and that the reduction may coincide with uptake and retention of cytoplasmic excess Ca2+ by mitochondria.

Abstract
An ionophorous compound that is one of the uremic middle molecules is able to inhibit the mitochondrial storage of calcium. Its active concentration is equivalent to that found in uremic plasma. This result can explain the diminution of phosphate calcium granules observed in mitochondria from uremic children. Moreover, this phenomenon may be involved in the calcium pool decrease observed in chronic renal insufficiency.

Abstract
The ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ [and [3H](-)-noradrenaline ([3H]NA)] into chromaffin granules and that into mitochondria are driven by a protonic gradient delta mu H+, composed of the components delta pH (concentration gradient of protons) and delta psi (electrical potential difference). The granular ATPase pumps protons into the matrix (delta pH inside acid, delta psi positive), but the mitochondrial ATPase ejects protons from the matrix (delta pH alkaline, delta psi negative inside). To show different driving forces of uptake, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ (and [3H]NA) into chromaffin granules was compared with the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria (adrenomedullary or rat liver). In the presence of nitrate, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is higher than in the presence of acetate, because the lyotropic anion nitrate stimulates the granular ATPase and increases delta pH (acid inside). Compared with nitrate, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria is higher in the presence of the proton-carrying anion acetate, which, after permeation, provides protons for ejection by the ATPase. In the absence of ATP, a valinomycin-mediated potassium influx (delta psi inside positive) stimulates the granular uptake of [3H]NA, which has an electrogenic component, but not the granular uptake of 45Ca2+, which is electroneutral. The electrogenic uptake of 45Ca2+ into mitochondria is stimulated by a valinomycin-mediated potassium efflux (delta psi negative inside). The ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is sensitive to ruthenium red, suggesting a carrier-mediated mechanism of uptake, and it is sensitive to atractyloside, indicating the simultaneous uptake of ATP. After collapse of delta pH by ammonia, the ATP-stimulated uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is abolished, but not that into mitochondria. In the presence of ammonia, the rate of the ATP-stimulated uptake of [3H]NA is very low, and an ATP-independent uptake of 45Ca2+ into chromaffin granules is observed which is similar to the ATP-independent Ca2+/Na+ exchange at the granular membrane.

Abstract
Mitochondria isolated from the late-exponential non-shaken culture of the ciliate protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis GL was investigated. The presence of energy-dependent Ca2+ transport system was shown. In the main the properties of this system have been essentially the same as in mitochondria of vertebrate organisms. The isolated mitochondria contained 23 +/- 5 ng-ion Ca2+ per mg of protein. The intramitochondrial free concentration of Ca2+ was measured in the presence of uncoupler FCCP with the use of fluorescent Ca2+ chelator chlortetracycline and null point titration method. In the absence of phosphate, free [Ca2+] varied from 1 to 2.5 mM depending on the internal Ca2+ content. In the presence of 2 mM phosphate, free [Ca2+]in has not exceeded 0.1-0.3 mM. It was shown that ruthenium red and Mg2+ in different manner have an inhibitory effect on Ca2+ transport. Besides this, Mg2+ also has a stabilizing effect on mitochondria, possibly, by preventing passive ions leaks across the membrane.

Abstract
The localization of calcium and its functional properties in anterior pituitary cells were studied using a potassium pyroantimonate technique. In all kinds of secretory cells, the precipitates of the calcium-pyroantimonate complex were distributed on the limiting membrane of the secretory granule. They were present also in the cytoplasmic matrix, the mitochondrial matrix, small smooth vesicles, coated vesicles, and in the nuclear euchromatin area. The precipitates were usually seen at the contact region between the limiting membranes of two adjacent secretory granules, or between the granule limiting membrane and the plasma membrane. When the tissues were incubated in the medium containing A23187 (10 microM) for 5 min, the deposits on the granule limiting membrane were increased in number and those on the mitochondrial matrix were decreased; the reaction products almost disappeared on the limiting membranes of the secretory granules after membrane fusion following single or multigranular exocytosis induced by A23187-treatment. In addition, small vesicles in the capillary endothelium contained reaction precipitates. Based on these results we propose a hypothetical model for the relationship between the localization of calcium and secretory activity.

Abstract
Transverse slices of the hippocampus of guinea pigs were prepared in order to investigate Ca2+ binding sites in CA1. Electrical stimulation (Schaffer collaterals and stratum oriens) combined with different aminopyridine compounds (AP) were used for neuronal activation. With histochemical methods Ca2+ binding sites were identified and localized at the electron microscopic level as electron dense deposits of granular or elongated shape. After electrical stimulation, electron dense deposits of 30-50 nm diameter were spread at low density over all layers of CA1. Electrical stimulation combined with application of aminopyridine compounds led to electron dense deposits of 60-400 nm diameter, mainly restricted to the activated input layers. Deposits were predominantly found at presynaptic sides, with few at dendrites and glial cells. Application of aminopyridine alone led to very few deposits, spread over the total CA1 area. The results indicate that aminopyridines, if combined with electrical stimulation, display a strong presynaptic action, which results in a remarkable Ca2+-translocation at the preterminal and terminal level. On the dendritic side aminopyridines in the concentrations used for the study weakly activate Ca2+ movements.

Abstract
The ischemic state of the myocardium of the isolated working rat heart after induction of normothermic ischemic cardiac arrest was assessed by the interrelationship among changes in myocardial ultrastructure, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and tissue high energy phosphate contents. At all time intervals (10-40 minutes) studied, the ultrastructural changes were more severe in the subendocardium than in the subepicardium. After 25-40 minutes of normothermic ischemic cardiac arrest, the mitochondrial oxygen uptake (state 3) became increasingly depressed, particularly in mitochondria isolated from the subendocardium. Mitochondrial oxidative function, as measured in vitro, did not correlate well with mitochondrial ultrastructural damage. In addition, the effects of coronary reperfusion on the ability of the ischemic heart to recover in terms of ultrastructure, mechanical, and metabolic function were evaluated. Hearts subjected to 10-40 minutes of normothermic ischemic cardiac arrest showed almost complete ultrastructural recovery of the subepicardium upon reperfusion; regression of ultrastructural changes occurred to a lesser extent in the subendocardium. Reperfusion for 30 minutes did not alleviate the depression in mitochondrial oxidative function, while tissue ATP levels did not return to control, preischemic levels. After 20 minutes of normothermic ischemic cardiac arrest, the mechanical performance of the working heart during reperfusion was significantly depressed, compared with pre-ischemic control values. Normal ultrastructure of the subendocardium always accompanied mechanical recovery, while improvement of mitochondrial oxidative function was not essential.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis to test the following hypotheses: (1) that individual myocytes may exhibit important variation in the severity of alterations in intracellular ionic homeostasis in response to hypoxia and (2) that hypoxic myocytes may accumulate certain elements in quantities sufficient to impair organellar function and structure. A rabbit interventricular septal preparation with attached small right ventricular papillary muscles was used to obtain control oxygenated myocardium (six papillary muscles) and myocardium rendered hypoxic for 1 to 1 1/2 hr (n = 8). Myocardium not perfused in vitro was also obtained (n = 4). Microanalysis was performed on freeze-dried thin sections of unfixed papillary muscles. Elemental concentrations were determined by suitable cryostandards of elements of interest. Sarcoplasm and mitochondria of most hypoxic myocytes exhibited significant alterations of diffusible elements, including increases in sodium and chloride and decreases in potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, without major change in calcium. The most severely altered myocytes showed evidence of calcium overloading manifested by markedly increased levels of mitochondrial calcium and phosphorus associated with formation of electron-dense mitochondrial inclusions. Levels of mitochondrial calcium and phosphorus exceeded those previously found to markedly impair the function and structure of isolated mitochondria. Thus x-ray microanalysis of unfixed cryosections provides direct measurements of subcellular alterations in elemental composition of individual myocytes in injured myocardium and demonstrates that both calcium and phosphorus accumulate in mitochondria of severely injured myocytes in concentrations sufficient to exert deleterious effects on these organelles.

Abstract
Isolation of a small protein with properties of a Ca2+ ionophore from calf heart mitochondria has recently been reported [A. Y. Jeng and A. E. Shamoo, 1980, J. Biol. Chem. 255, 6897, 6904]. We have isolated a fraction with similar physical and chemical properties from rat liver mitochondria. In particular, the hepatic preparation is able to bind Ca2+ with high affinity in such a fashion that the resultant complex is soluble in a hydrophobic phase. It will also transport Ca2+ through a stirred organic phase (Pressman cell). Interaction of the liver preparation with Ca2+ is sensitive to inhibitors of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. The hepatic preparation contains both protein and lipid components. The phospholipid components were identified and the behavior of a similar mixture of commercially available phospholipids was compared to that of the ionophore fraction from rat liver mitochondria. All of the Ca2+ binding properties of the rat liver preparation could be mimicked by the lipids. In a preliminary experiment, reduction of the phospholipid content of the preparation to less than one lipid phosphate per protein molecule (assuming a molecular weight of 3000 by analogy with the calf heart case) resulted in a protein that was unable to bind Ca2+. We, therefore, suggest that the ability of the preparation to interact with Ca2+ is due to the constituent phospholipids. Measurements of phospholipid-Ca2+ interactions in the model systems and under the conditions of low (microM) Ca2+ and phospholipid concentration utilized here demonstrated an affinity for Ca2+ (Ks approximately 1 microM) and a cation selectivity that have not previously been reported.

Abstract
Purified secretory vesicles isolated from bovine neurohypophyses were found to take up Ca2+ when incubated at 30 degrees C in media containing 10(-7) to 10(-4) M free Ca2+. At 10(-4) free Ca2+ 19 nmol/mg protein were taken up within 30 min. The initial uptake at this Ca2+ concentration was about 2 nmol/mg protein per min. The uptake of Ca2+ to secretory vesicles was not affected by ATP, oligomycin, ruthenium red, trifluoperazine, Mg2+ or K+, but was inhibited by Na+ and Sr2+. From these characteristics it can be concluded that the uptake system does not utilize directly ATP (as the Ca2+-ATPases known to be present in the cell membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum) and is different from the mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake system driven by respiration and/or ATP hydrolysis. However, Ca2+-Na+ exchange may well operate: In experiments using different concentrations of Na+ we found half-maximal inhibition of Ca2+ uptake with 33.3 mM Na+. An analysis of the data in a Hill plot indicated that at least 2 Na+ would be exchanged for 1 Ca2+. Also, it was found that Ca2+ previously taken up could be released again by external Na+ but not by K+.

Abstract
Uranyl ions (UO2+(2)) and lanthanide cations (La3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Tb3+ and Dy3+) at 100-200 microM concentration inhibited active transport of Ca2+, mediated by respiratory linked substrates as well as by ATP hydrolysis, without affecting respiration and membrane-bound ATPase activity, in inside-out membrane vesicles of Mycobacterium phlei. The extent of inhibition in the uptake of Ca2+, mediated by ATP hydrolysis, increased with increase in ionic radii of these cations. Lanthanide cations did not dissipate the formation of a proton gradient, as measured by determining the effect either on the uptake of [14C]methylamine or energy-linked quenching of the fluorescence of 9-aminoacridine. However, uranyl ion (UO2+(2+)) caused reversal of the energy-linked quenching of 9-aminoacridine. UO2+(2)) concentration yielding 50% of Vmax (S0.5) was approx. 15 microM. Kinetic studies revealed that inhibition in the uptake of Ca2+ was competitive with UO2+(2) while non-competitive with rare-earth metals. It is proposed that inhibition in the uptake of Ca2+ by uranyl ion occurs as a result of UO2+(2) transport into the interior of vesicles in exchange for protons, while lanthanide cations are not being transported but affect the binding of Ca2+ to the membrane, presumably to the Ca2+/H+ antiporter.
