Abstract
The pyrimidine nucleoside uridine and its phosphorylated derivates have been shown to be involved in the systemic regulation of energy and redox balance and promote the regeneration of many tissues, including the myocardium, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Moreover, rearrangements in mitochondrial structure and function within cardiomyocytes are the predominant signs of myocardial injury. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate whether uridine could alleviate acute myocardial injury induced by isoprenaline (ISO) exposure, a rat model of stress-induced cardiomyopathy, and to elucidate the mechanisms of its action related to mitochondrial dysfunction. For this purpose, a biochemical analysis of the relevant serum biomarkers and ECG monitoring were performed in combination with transmission electron microscopy and a comprehensive study of cardiac mitochondrial functions. The administration of ISO (150 mg/kg, twice with an interval of 24 h, s.c.) to rats caused myocardial degenerative changes, a sharp increase in the serum cardiospecific markers troponin I and the AST/ALT ratio, and a decline in the ATP level in the left ventricular myocardium. In parallel, alterations in the organization of sarcomeres with focal disorganization of myofibrils, and ultrastructural and morphological defects in mitochondria, including disturbances in the orientation and packing density of crista membranes, were detected. These malfunctions were improved by pretreatment with uridine (30 mg/kg, twice with an interval of 24 h, i.p.). Uridine also led to the normalization of the QT interval. Moreover, uridine effectively inhibited ISO-induced ROS overproduction and lipid peroxidation in rat heart mitochondria. The administration of uridine partially recovered the protein level of the respiratory chain complex V, along with the rates of ATP synthesis and mitochondrial potassium transport, suggesting the activation of the potassium cycle through the mitoKATP channel. Taken together, these results indicate that uridine ameliorates acute ISO-induced myocardial injury and mitochondrial malfunction, which may be due to the activation of mitochondrial potassium recycling and a mild uncoupling leading to decreased ROS generation and oxidative damage.

Abstract
Using a model of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by the bilateral injection of neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into rat brain substantia nigra (SN), we showed uridine to exert a protective effect associated with activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoK-ATP) channel. Injection of 4 µg neurotoxin evoked a 70% decrease in the time the experimental animal spent on the rod in the RotaRod test, an increase in the amount of lipid peroxides in blood serum and cerebral-cortex mitochondria and the rate of reactive oxygen species formation, and a decrease in Ca2+ retention in mitochondria. Herewith, lymphocytes featured an increase in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosolic enzyme of glycolysis, without changes in succinate-dehydrogenase activity. Structural changes occurring in the SN and striatum manifested themselves in the destruction of mitochondria, degeneration of neurons and synapses, and stratification of myelin sheaths in them. Subcutaneous injections of 30 µg/kg uridine for 22 days restored the neurotoxin-induced changes in these parameters to levels close to the control. 5-Hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg), a specific mitoK-ATP channel inhibitor, eliminated the beneficial effect of uridine for almost all characteristics tested, indicating the involvement of the mitoK-ATP channel in the protective effect of uridine. The mechanism of the protective effect of uridine and its therapeutic applications for the prevention and treatment of PD are discussed.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia, and, as a result, insult, attacks up to 15 million people yearly in the world. In this connection, the development of effective preventive programs and methods of therapy has become one of the most urgent problems in modern angiology and pharmacology. The cytoprotective action of taxifolin (TAX) in ischemia is well known, but its limitations are also known due to its poor solubility and low capacity to pass through the hematoencephalic barrier. Molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effect of TAX in complex systems such as the brain remain poorly understood. It is known that the main cell types of the brain are neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, which regulate the activity of each other through neuroglial interactions. In this work, a comparative study of cytoprotective mechanisms of the effect of TAX and its new water-soluble form aqua taxifolin (aqTAX) was performed on cultured brain cells under ischemia-like conditions (oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)) followed by the reoxygenation of the culture medium. The concentration dependences of the protective effects of both taxifolin forms were determined using fluorescence microscopy, PCR analysis, and vitality tests. It was found that TAX began to effectively inhibit necrosis and the late stages of apoptosis in the concentration range of 30-100 µg/mL, with aqTAX in the range of 10-30 µg/mL. At the level of gene expression, aqTAX affected a larger number of genes than TAX; enhanced the basic and OGD/R-induced expression of genes encoding ROS-scavenging proteins with a higher efficiency, as well as anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic proteins; and lowered the level of excitatory glutamate receptors. As a result, aqTAX significantly inhibited the OGD-induced increase in the Ca2+ levels in the cytosol ([Ca2+]i) in neurons and astrocytes under ischemic conditions. After a 40 min preincubation of cells with aqTAX under hypoxic conditions, these Ca2+ signals were completely inhibited, resulting in an almost complete suppression of necrotic death of cerebral cortical cells, which was not observed with the use of classical TAX.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies are among the most severe myocardial pathologies, which are characterized by resistance to therapy and high mortality due to increasing heart failure and arrhythmia. Cardiomyocyte pathological changes upon cardiomyopathies are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to excessive formation of reactive oxygen species and the development of oxidative stress. In this regard, the study of the therapeutic potential of antioxidants in cardiomyopathies, as well as the mechanisms of their action on the functioning of mitochondria, is relevant and of high practical importance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral 14-day administration of dihydroquercetin in a water-soluble form (DHQWF) on the activity of the key marker of mitochondrial respiration [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)] and the cytoplasmic marker of glycolysis [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] in blood lymphocytes, as well as on the serum level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in control rats and rats with experimental cardiomyopathy. Material and methods. Adult male Wistar rats (body weight 220-240 g) were used for the study. Isoprenaline hydrochloride was used to induce cardiomyopathy (IIC) in animals (twice subcutaneous injection at a dose of 150 mg/kg body weight, with a break of 24 hours). DHQ-WF was added to the drinking water for 14 days at the dose of 15 or 30 mg/kg body weight. SDH and LDH activity in lymphocytes was measured using a highly sensitive cytobiochemical method on a blood smear according to the reduction of nitrotetrazolium blue chloride to diformazan of dark blue color. The content of malone dialdehyde (MDA) in the blood serum, heart and liver mitochondria was determined spectrophotometrically using thiobarbituric acid. Mitochondria were isolated from rat tissues by the conventional method of differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial respiration was recorded using a polarographic method. Results. Experimental cardiomyopathy in rats was accompanied by a twofold increase in blood serum MDA level, as well as by a significant increase in SDH and LDH activity in blood lymphocytes. The oral administration of DHQ-WF in cardiomyopathy at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight led to a significant decrease in serum MDA level, but did not reduce the activity of SDH and LDH in blood lymphocytes, compared with animals with cardiomyopathy that did not receive DHQ-WF. In the control group of animals, the use of DHQ-WF at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight significantly increased blood lymphocyte LDH activity, but did not have a statistically significant effect on SDH activity and the parameters of mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, the level of MDA in heart and liver mitochondria. Increasing the dose of DHQ-WF administered to 30 mg/kg had less effect on changes in these parameters in control animals. Conclusion. The data obtained indicate that in experimental cardiomyopathy in rats, the course application of DHQ-WF at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight acts as an effective antioxidant that prevents the development of lipid peroxidation in blood serum, and can modulate energy metabolism towards the enhancement of glycolysis in blood lymphocytes in control animals.

Abstract
Here, we found that functionally active mitochondria isolated from the brain of NMRI donor mice and administrated intranasally to recipient mice penetrated the brain structures in a dose-dependent manner. The injected mitochondria labeled with the MitoTracker Red localized in different brain regions, including the neocortex and hippocampus, which are responsible for memory and affected by degeneration in patients with Alzheimer's disease. In behavioral experiments, intranasal microinjections of brain mitochondria of native NMRI mice improved spatial memory in the olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) mice with Alzheimer's type degeneration. Control OBX mice demonstrated loss of spatial memory tested in the Morris water maze. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that allogeneic mitochondria colocalized with the markers of astrocytes and neurons in hippocampal cell culture. The results suggest that a non-invasive route intranasal administration of mitochondria may be a promising approach to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases characterized, like Alzheimer's disease, by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
The parameters of coupled respiration and transport of calcium ions in mitochondria isolated from the heart of rats were studied in two modes of exposure to epinephrine for modelling myocardial damage. In 24 h after injection of 1.5 mg/kg epinephrine to rats, we observed a decrease in the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in heart mitochondria in the presence of both NADH- and FADH-dependent respiratory substrates. Increasing the epinephrine dose and exposure (2 mg/kg, 72 h) led to a more pronounced decrease in the ADP/O coefficient when succinate was used as a substrate, which indicated a predominant decrease in the activity of complex II of the respiratory chain. The injection of epinephrine in the two modes resulted in a decrease in the rate of calcium entry in rat heart mitochondria, but had no effect on mitochondrial calcium retention capacity, which reflects the resistance of the organelles to the induction of the Са2+-dependent pore. These findings suggest that both cardiomyopathy models in rats can be used to study the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy using mitochondria-targeted agents.

Abstract
The effect of uridine on the myocardial ischemic and reperfusion injury was investigated. A possible mechanism of its cardioprotective action was established. Two rat models were used: (1) acute myocardial ischemia induced by occlusion of the left coronary artery for 60 min; and (2) myocardial ischemia/reperfusion with 30-min ischemia and 120-min reperfusion. In both models, treatment with uridine (30 mg/kg) prevented a decrease in cell energy supply and in the activity of the antioxidant system, as well as an increase in the level of lipid hydroperoxides and diene conjugates. This led to a reduction of the necrosis zone in the myocardium and disturbances in the heart rhythm. The blocker of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoKATP) channel 5-hydroxydecanoate limited the positive effects of uridine. The data indicate that the cardioprotective action of uridine may be related to the activation of the mitoKATP channel. Intravenously injected uridine was more rapidly eliminated from the blood in hypoxia than in normoxia, and the level of the mitoKATP channel activator UDP in the myocardium after uridine administration increased. The results suggest that the use of uridine can be a potentially effective approach to the management of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that the development of oxidative stress in some pathologies can be prevented by activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP). Here we studied the effect of modulation of mitoKATP on the development of mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction in the medulla oblongata and myocardium of rats with experimental parkinsonism. It is known that uridine-5'-diphosphate, activator of mitoKATP, does not penetrate the plasma membrane, but it can be synthesized in cells from exogenous uridine that is delivered into cells by special transport systems. Our results suggest that mitoKATP is involved in the development of mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction in experimental parkinsonism and prove the cardio- and neuroprotective effects of uridine.

Abstract
A sharp increase in the permeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane known as mitochondrial permeability transition (or mPT) occurs in mitochondria under the conditions of Ca2+ and ROS stress. Permeability transition can proceed through several mechanisms. The most common mechanism of mPT is based on the opening of a cyclosporine A (CSA)-sensitive protein channel in the inner membrane. In addition to the CSA-sensitive pathway, mPT can occur through the transient opening of lipid pores, emerging in the process of formation of palmitate/Ca2+ complexes. This pathway is independent of CSA and likely plays a protective role against Ca2+ and ROS toxicity. The review considers molecular mechanisms of formation and regulation of the palmitate/Ca2+-induced pores, which we designate as PA-mPT to distinguish it from the classical CSA-sensitive mPT. In the paper, we discuss conditions of its opening in the biological membranes, as well as its role in the physiological and pathophysiological processes. Additionally, we summarize data that indicate the involvement of PA-mPT in the protection of mitochondria against calcium overload and glutamate-induced degradation in neurons.

Abstract
Some surface proteins of the newly identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can bind to the hemoglobin molecule of an erythrocyte, which leads to the destruction of the structure of the heme and the release of harmful iron ions to the bloodstream. The degradation of hemoglobin results in the impairment of oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, and the accumulation of free iron enhances the production of reactive oxygen species. Both events can lead to the development of oxidative stress. In this case, oxidative damage to the lungs leads then to the injuries of all other tissues and organs. The use of uridine, which preserves the structure of pulmonary alveoli and the air-blood barrier of the lungs in the course of experimental severe hypoxia, and dihydroquercetin, an effective free radical scavenger, is promising for the treatment of COVID-19. These drugs can also be used for the recovery of the body after the severe disease.

Abstract
We analyzed structural and functional features of the main mitochondrial Ca2+-transporting systems, mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter complex (MCUC) and Ca2+-dependent cyclosporin A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPT pore), in rats with hyperthyroid state. It was found that, the rate of Ca2+ accumulation by rat liver mitochondria in this pathology increases by 1.3 times, which can be associated with higher level of the channel-forming subunit of the uniporter MCU and lower content of dominant-negative subunit of this complex MCUb. At the same time, the level of the regulatory subunit MICU1 remained unchanged. It was shown that calcium retention capacity of liver mitochondria in rats with experimental hyperthyroidism decreased by 2 times in comparison with the control, which attested to reduced resistance of liver mitochondria of hyperthyroid rats to induction of the MPT pore. The observed changes are consistent with the data on increased amount of cyclophilin D, a mitochondrial matrix peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that is known to modulate the MPT pore opening and expression of the Ppif gene that encodes mitochondrial cyclophilin D in rats with experimental hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
The mitochondrial structure and the contents of subunits (NDUFV2, SDHA, Cyt b, COX1) of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I-IV as well as of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) in the brain cortex (BC) of rats with high resistance (HR) and low resistance (LR) to hypoxia were studied for the first time depending on the severity of hypoxia. Different regimes of 30-min hypobaric hypoxia (pO2 14, 10, and 8%) were used. It was found that cortical mitochondria responded to 30-min hypobaric hypoxia of different severity with typical and progressing changes in mitochondrial structure and function of mitochondrial enzymes. Under 14 and 10% hypoxia, animals developed compensatory structural and metabolic responses aimed at supporting the cell energy homeostasis. Consequently, these hypoxia regimes can be used for treatment in pressure chambers. At the same time, decreasing the oxygen concentration in the inhaled air to 8% led to the appearance of destructive processes in brain mitochondria. The features of mitochondrial ultrastructure and the function of respiratory enzymes in the BC of HR and LR rats exposed to normoxic and hypoxic conditions suggest that the two types of animals had two essentially distinct functional and metabolic patterns determined by different efficiency of the energy apparatus. The development of adaptive and destructive responses involved different metabolic pathways of the oxidation of energy substrates and different efficiency of the functioning of mitochondrial respiratory carriers.

Abstract
The effect of the activation of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) on the ultrastructure of rat lung in acute hypoxic hypoxia (7% of oxygen in nitrogen, exposure 30 min) was studied. It was shown that uridine, a precursor of the mitoKATP activator UDP, exerted a protective effect against hypoxic damage to the lung. The administration of uridine to animals prior to hypoxia decreased the number of mitochondria with altered ultrastructure and prevented the hypoxia-induced mitochondrial swelling. Uridine also protected the epithelial, interstitial and endothelial layers of the air-blood barrier from the hypoxia-induced hyperhydration. The protective action of uridine against hypoxia-induced lung injury was eliminated by the selective blocker of mitoKATP 5-hydroxydecanoate. These data suggest that one of the mechanisms of the positive effect of uridine is related to the activation of the mitoKATP channel, which, according to the literature and our data, is involved in the protection of tissues from hypoxia and leads to adaptation to it. A possible role of uridine in the maintenance of the mitochondrial structure upon hypoxia-induced lung injury and the optimization of oxygen supply of the organism is discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondria are among the most important cell organelles involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis. During the last decade, a number of molecular structures responsible for the mitochondrial calcium transport have been identified including the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU), Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCLX), and Ca2+/H+ antiporter (Letm1). The review summarizes the data on the structure, regulation, and physiological role of such structures. The pathophysiological mechanism of Ca2+ transport through the cyclosporine A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore is discussed. An alternative mechanism for the mitochondrial pore opening, namely, formation of the lipid pore induced by saturated fatty acids, and its role in Ca2+ transport are described in detail.

Abstract
We studied the effects of in vivo modulation of activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) by uridine on the morphofunctional state of mitochondria in rat cardiomyocytes under conditions of acute hypoxia. Preinjection of uridine to animals reduced the number of structurally modified mitochondria, but had practically no effect on their morphogenesis after hypoxia. Uridine in vivo stimulated the formation of micromitochondria and their release into the cytoplasm. The number of "maternal" mitochondria containing three and more new micromitochondria, increased as well. The use of mitoKATP blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate in parallel with uridine abolished its protective effect, as it significantly inhibited the formation of micromitochondria in rat cardiomyocytes after acute hypoxic exposure.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effects of uridine on plasma cytokine levels, heat shock protein (HSP) 72 expression, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling in spleen lymphocytes after exposure of male BALB/c mice to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mice were treated with uridine (30 mg/kg body weight, intraperitoneal injection [i.p.]) or saline solution of LPS (2.5 mg/kg, i. p.). Endotoxin increased plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, and IL-6 by 2.1-, 1.9-, 1.7-, 1.6-, and 2.3-fold, respectively. Prior treatment with uridine prevented LPS-induced increases in all studied cytokines. In splenic lymphocytes, LPS treatment increased the expression of HSP 72 by 2.4-fold, whereas preliminary treatment with uridine completely prevented this effect. LPS also activated NF-κB signaling in splenic lymphocytes, and uridine decreased NF-κB pathway activity. Inhibitory analysis showed that the mechanism of uridine action was associated with the formation of the UDP-metabolic activator of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) and the UTP-activator of glycogen synthesis in the tissues. A specific inhibitor of mitoKATP, 5-hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg), and an inhibitor of glycogen synthesis, galactosamine (110 mg/kg), prevented the effects of uridine. Thus, uridine itself or uridine phosphates, which increased after uridine treatment, appeared to inhibit pro-inflammatory responses induced by LPS application. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the mechanisms mediating the effects of uridine were regulated by activation of glycogen synthesis and opening of the mitoKATP, which in turn increased the energy potential of the cell and reduced oxidative stress.

Abstract
The latency of tonic seizure in response to loud sound (in rats of the Krushinsky-Molodkina strain with audiogenic epilepsy) had been slightly (although statistically significantly) longer after chronic uridine injections (100 mg/kg, i.p., three times a day during 9 or 12 days). The recovery time from the tonic seizure was shorter after 12 days of injections in comparison to the 9-day injection period. At the same time, the intensity of tonic seizures provoked by loud sound did not change after chronic uridine injections. The lack of uridine anticonvulsive effect demonstrated in the audiogenic epilepsy model contradicts the anticonvulsant effects of uridine in experiments with other seizure models, in which the epileptic foci were localized in the forebrain structures.

Abstract
The role of brain and liver mitochondria at epileptic seizure was studied on Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) rats which respond to sound with an intensive epileptic seizure (audiogenic epilepsy). We didn't find significant changes in respiration rats of brain and liver mitochondria of KM and control rats; however the efficiency of АТР synthesis in the KM rat mitochondria was 10% lower. In rats with audiogenic epilepsy the concentration of oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde in mitochondria of the brain (but not liver) was 2-fold higher than that in the control rats. The rate of H2O2 generation in brain mitochondria of КМ rats was twofold higher than in the control animals when using NAD-dependent substrates. This difference was less pronounced in liver mitochondria. In KM rats, the activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel was lower than in liver mitochondria of control rats. The comparative study of the mitochondria ability to retain calcium ions revealed that in the case of using the complex I and complex II substrates, permeability transition pore is easier to trigger in brain and liver mitochondria of KM and КМs rats than in the control ones. The role of the changes in the energetic, oxidative, and ionic exchange in the mechanism of audiogenic epilepsy generation in rats and the possible correction of the epilepsy seizures are discussed.

Abstract
The ultrastructure and spatial localization of mitochondria (MC) in the myocardium of rats exposed to a 30-min hypoxic hypoxia were investigated. The mitochondrial structure was found to undergo changes; however, marked necrotic injuries were not observed. Changes occurring in the myocardium are aimed at the intensification of energy processes. This shows up as an increase in the number of MC in the subsarcolemmal zone of the myocardium and changes in the surface of the sublemmal membrane due to its bending around mitochondria, which improves the diffusion of oxygen into MC. In addition, the division of MC is enhanced, which partially explains the increase in their total number. In structurally altered MC with intact membrane, electron dense formations with small diameter appear, which probably represent newly formed organelles (microMC). In normoxia, changes of this kind do not occur. It was found that the ATP-dependent K+ channel is involved in the regulation of the morphological state of MC under hypoxic hypoxia. The activator of the channel diazoxide increases the number of newly formed microMC, and the channel inhibitor 5HD significantly prevents their formation. Possible mechanisms of structural and dynamic changes in rat myocardial MC under acute hypoxic hypoxia are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of surface-potential modulators on palmitate/Ca2+-induced formation of lipid pores was studied in liposomal and inner mitochondrial membranes. Pore formation was monitored by sulforhodamine B release from liposomes and swelling of mitochondria. ζ-potential in liposomes was determined from electrophoretic mobility. Replacement of sucrose as the osmotic agent with KCl decreased negative ζ-potential in liposomes and increased resistance of both mitochondria and liposomes to the pore inducers, palmitic acid, and Ca2+. Micromolar Mg2+ also inhibited palmitate/Ca2+-induced permeabilization of liposomes. The rate of palmitate/Ca2+-induced, cyclosporin A-insensitive swelling of mitochondria increased 22% upon increasing pH from 7.0 to 7.8. At below the critical micelle concentration, the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (10 μM) and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (10-50 μM) made the ζ-potential less and more negative, respectively, and inhibited and stimulated opening of mitochondrial palmitate/Ca2+-induced lipid pores. Taken together, the findings indicate that surface potential regulates palmitate/Ca2+-induced lipid pore opening.

Abstract
Experiments on rats with acute myocardial ischemia accompanied by early postocclusive arrhythmias have shown normalizing, energy-stabilizing, and antiarrhythmic effects of uridine and uridine-5'-monophosphate. The drugs decreased lactate and restored reserves of glycogen and creatine phosphate depleted by ischemia. Uridine and uridine-5'-monophosphate significantly decreased the severity of ventricular arrhythmias. Both drugs reduced the incidence and duration of fibrillation. Uridine -5'-monophosphate demonstrated most pronounced antifibrillatory effectiveness. We hypothesize that the antiarrhythmic effect of the drugs is determined by their capacity to activate energy metabolism.

Abstract
Homology of the amino acid sequence of the mitochondrial potassium-transporting protein (MW 57kDa), having the properties of a channel subunit of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel, and calreticulin (MW 55kDa) was detected by MALDI-TOF-TOF analysis method. Inhibitory analysis of ATP-dependent potassium transport in mitochondria with polyclonal antibodies to calreticulin was carried out. A dose-dependent inhibition of potassium transport in mitochondria by these antibodies was shown. The maximum value of inhibition was 55-60%. Based on these data it is hypothesized that at least two types of ATP-sensitive potassium channels are localized in mitochdndrial membrane. It is expected that the type of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel, which includes homologous calreticulin protein is localized mainly at mitochondrial and reticulum membrane contact sites.

Abstract
The effect of a metabolic precursor of natural activator of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitochondrial K+(ATP))--uridine on animal's endurance to physical stress was studied. The endurance was determined by recording the time period during which the rat loaded with a plummet of 20% of body weight can swim until physical exhaustion at 32 degrees C. It was found that highly resistant animals swam until exhaustion for 7.40 ± 0.35 min, whereas low resistant rats hold out 2.07 ± 0.10 min only. The injection of uridine influenced the swimming time of the animals, increasing it twofold in low-resistant rats. The effect of uridine was decreased by injection of inhibitors of mitochondrial K+(ATP) channel. It was found that the injection of uridine into low resistant rats increased the rate of potassium transport in mitochondria isolated from liver of these rats, and inhibitors of the channel prevent the channel activating effect of uridine. The role of mitochondrial K+(ATP) cannel in the formation of animal's resistance to physical stress and protection of tissues from hypoxia is discussed.

Abstract
Extralife, a Pentaphylloides fruticos extract, in concentrations of 0.005-10 μg/ml dose-dependently increased H2O2 production in rat heart mitochondria in the presence of respiration substrates. Extralife decreased ATP-induced accumulation of H2O2 related to inhibition of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel. This effect was observed only at low doses of the adaptogen (0.05-3 μg/ml). High doses of the substance (5-10 μg/ml) did not abolish ATP-dependent production of H2O2 and increased the rate of H2O2 generation by the mitochondria. We concluded that Extralife in trace concentrations could activate mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel and decrease H2O2 accumulation in the mitochondria.

Abstract
The effect of adaptogens-antihypoxants that participate in the activation of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channels (mitoK(ATP)) at the oxidation of the Amplex Red (AR) fluorescent indicator in a peroxidase system was tested. It was shown that Extralife, Hypoxen, taurine, and synthetic antioxidant ionol can be arranged in the following row, according to the fluorescence inhibition activity: Extralife > Hypoxen > > ionol > taurine; their effect was shown to be concentration-dependent. The calculated K(i) value of fluorescence indicators demonstrate fast and slow phases of inhibition of the AR oxidation by Extralife and Hypoxen. The fast phase occurs in the presence of microdoses (0.05-3 microg/mL) of adaptogens and is related to the competition for H2O2, which is in agreement with our previous data on the mitoK(ATP) activation by doses of adaptogens related to the H2O2 consumption. The slow phase is characteristic of high adaptogen and ionol concentrations and is related to the competition for phenoxyl radicals of resorufin formed during AR oxidation. The obtained results allow one to suggest the application of a highly sensitive model peroxidase system with AR for the preliminary testing of compounds activating mitoK(ATP) channels.

Abstract
Protein fraction able to induce K(+)-selective transport across bilayer lipid membrane was isolated from human blood plasma with the use of the detergent and proteolytic enzyme-free method developed at our laboratory. After addition of the studied sample to the artificial membrane in the presence of 100 mM KCl, a discrete current change was observed. No channel activity was recorded in the presence of calcium and sodium ions. Channel forming activity of fraction was observed only in the presence of K+. Using a threefold gradient of KCl in the presence of studied proteins the potassium-selective potential balanced by voltage of -29 mV was registered. This value is very close to the theoretical Nernst potential in this case. This means that the examined ion channel is cation-selective. According to data obtained with MS-MALDI-TOF/TOF and database NCBI three protein components were identified in isolated researched sample.

Abstract
Activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel in rats with high genetically determined resistance to hypoxia was higher than in sensitive animals. Adaptation of low resistant rats to hypoxia was accompanied by activation of the channel, facilitation of potassium recycling in mitochondria, and a decrease in the rate of H2O2 formation. Our results indicate that mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel plays an important role in the delayed mechanisms of animal's adaptation to hypoxia.

Abstract
Changes in the rate of respiration and functioning of the ATP-dependent potassium channel the liver and heart mitochondria of one-, three-, eight-, and twenty four-month-old Wistar male rats have been investigated. It was shown that the activity of the channel in the mitochondria of both tissues in 24-months-old animals decreases more than three times, and the content of potassium, 1.5-2 times compared with young one-month-old rats. The changes occur against the background of age-related decrease of energy supply in mitochondria, the respiratory complex-I underganig the greatest changes upon aging. The decrease of channel activity may be the result of changes in channel sensitivity to modulators and a decrease in the expression of mitochondrial K(+)-transporting channel-protein with a molecular mass of 5.5 kDa upon aging found in this work. As a result, the functioning of not only the mitoK(ATP) but also the whole mitochondrial potassium cycle is impaired.

Abstract
The effect of hypoxenum on bioenergetic processes in heart and liver mitochondria of rats, connected with respiration, the generation of hydrogen peroxide, and the activity of ATP-sensitive K-channel ((mitoK)ATP) has been studied. It was shown that hypoxenum in the concentration range of 0.05-10 microg/ml stimulates respiration, increases the coupling in the respiratory chain, and enhances the formation of H2O2 and energy-dependent swelling associated with potassium transport in mitochondria. Hypoxenum removes the inhibitory effect of ATP on the energy-dependent swelling of mitochondria and partially reduces the accumulation of H2O2 in the presence of ATP. The role of antihypoxic and antioxidant action of hypoxenum associated with the activation of (mitoK)ATP is discussed.

Abstract
A low-molecular-weight component (LMC) inducing selective transport of calcium across the bilayer lipid membrane has been isolated from mitochondria of the bovine heart by the method developed in our laboratory, which excludes the use of detergents and proteolytic enzymes. It was shown that, in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2, LMC forms conduction channels in the membrane multiples of 5 pS. The specific inhibitor of mitochondrial calcium uniporter, ruthenium red, closes Ca2(+)-induced channels formed in the membrane by LMC. In the absence of calcium or in the presence of potassium ions only, the component is incapable of forming channels of conduction. It was shown using nuclear magnetic resonance that LMC is a complex consisting of lipids, amino acids, and sugars with a molecular weight of 1-2 kDa.

Abstract
The localization in the cell of the protein forming the ATP-dependent potassium-selective channels in the bilayer lipid membrane has been studied. The electron microscope investigation of rat liver and heart tissue sections after their incubation with Abs against this protein and the visualization of the protein with secondary Abs conjugated with colloid gold were carried out. Colloid gold particles were observed both in mitochondrial membranes and in membranes of endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum. In heart mitochondria, these particles were significantly greater than in liver mitochondria. The localization of the channel protein both in mitochondria and reticulum, as well as the structural similarity between the mitochondrial channel and the precursor of calreticulin suggest that the channel protein belongs to the family of calreticulins. The possible function of the protein as a channel subunit of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel is discussed.

Abstract
The influenc of cholesterol on the formation of the mitochondrial cyclosporin A (CsA)-insensitive palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore has been studied. It has been established that increasing the cholesterol level in mitochondrial membranes results in an increase in the of rate of mitochondrial swelling induced by palmitic acid (> or = 20 microM) and Ca2+ (30 microM). This effect is not related to changes in the functional activity of organelles since cholesterol did not influence the mitochondrial respiration in different metabolic states. At the same time, it was shown that the palmitate/Ca(2+)-induced permeabilization of cholesterol-containing azolectin liposomes was Stronger than that of azolectin liposomes. It was found that, in the liposomal membrane, the Ca(2+)-induced phase separation of palmitic acid into distinct membrane domains takes place. The presence of cholesterol in membranes increases the extent of segregation.

Abstract
Evidence for the possible involvement of the mitochondrial cyclosporin A-insensitive palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore in the apoptotic process is presented. It has been established that the opening of palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore results in high-amplitude swelling of mitochondria and the release of apoptosis-induced factor from organelles. These processes are accompanied by a transitory small decrease of membrane potential, which recovers in 1 min. The possible role of palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore in the induction of palmitate-activated apoptosis is discussed.

Abstract
The influence of taurine on the ATP-dependent mitochondrial swelling, which characterizes the activity of the ATP-dependent K+ channel and the opening of Ca(2+)-dependent pores differing in the sensitivity to cyclosporin A in rat liver mitochondria has been studied. It was shown that taurine at small (0.5-125 microM) concentrations produces a stimulating effect on the ATP-dependent mitochondrial swelling. Taurine in physiological concentrations (0.5-20 mM) di not affect the ATP-dependent mitochondrial swelling and cyclosporin A-insensitive palmitate/Ca(2+)-activated pore formation in mitochondria. Taurine in these concentrations increased the rate of cyclosporin A-sensitive swelling induced by Ca2+ and P(i) and decreased the Ca2+ capacity of mitochondria.

Abstract
Earlier we found that in isolated rat liver mitochondria the reversible opening of the mitochondrial cyclosporin A-insensitive pore induced by low concentrations of palmitic acid (Pal) plus Ca(2+) results in the brief loss of Deltapsi [Mironova et al., J Bioenerg Biomembr (2004), 36:171-178]. Now we report that Pal and Ca(2+), increased to 30 and 70 nmol/mg protein respectively, induce a stable and prolonged (10 min) partial depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane, the release of Ca(2+) and the swelling of mitochondria. Inhibitors of the Ca(2+) uniporter, ruthenium red and La(3+), as well as EGTA added in 10 min after the Pal/Ca(2+)-activated pore opening, prevent the release of Ca(2+) and repolarize the membrane to initial level. Similar effects can be observed in the absence of exogeneous Pal, upon mitochondria accumulating high [Sr(2+)], which leads to the activation of phospholipase A(2) and appearance of endogenous fatty acids. The paper proposes a new model of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) cycle, in which Ca(2+) uptake is mediated by the Ca(2+) uniporter and Ca(2+) efflux occurs via a short-living Pal/Ca(2+)-activated pore.

Abstract
A Ca(2+)-induced phase separation of palmitic acid (PA) in the membrane of azolectin unilamellar liposomes has been demonstrated with the fluorescent membrane probe nonyl acridine orange (NAO). It has been shown that NAO, whose fluorescence in liposomal membranes is quenched in a concentration-dependent way, can be used to monitor changes in the volume of lipid phase. The incorporation of PA into NAO-labeled liposomes increased fluorescence corresponding to the expansion of membrane. After subsequent addition of Ca(2+), fluorescence decreased, which indicated separation of PA/Ca(2+) complexes into distinct membrane domains. The Ca(2+)-induced phase separation of PA was further studied in relation to membrane permeabilization caused by Ca(2+) in the PA-containing liposomes. A supposition was made that the mechanism of PA/Ca(2+)-induced membrane permeabilization relates to the initial stage of Ca(2+)-induced phase separation of PA and can be considered as formation of fast-tightening lipid pores due to chemotropic phase transition in the lipid bilayer.

Abstract
The cardioprotective properties of pharmacological and metabolic activators of mitoKATP are reviewed. Metabolic activators of the channels and data on their cardioprotective properties are discussed in the review. The authors adduce their own data concerning cardioprotective properties of mitoKATP channel metabolic activator (UDP). In experimental animals, UDP precursors, uridine and UMP, decrease myocardial ischemic alteration index and T-wave amplitude within 60 min after occlusion of the left coronary artery. Both effects are prevented by mitoKATP channel inhibitors, glibenclamide and 5-HD. UMP and uridine possess antiarrhythmic properties as well. These preparations decrease the number of premature ventricular beats, the duration of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, and these effects are eliminated mainly by glibenclamide. Thus, mitoKATP plays a significant role in prevention of both ischemic lesions and rhythm disorders. The prospects of application of metabolic activators to prevent and treat myocardial infarction are discussed.

Abstract
Palmitic acid (Pal) is known to promote apoptosis (Sparagna G et al (2000) Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 279: H2124-H2132) and its amount in blood and mitochondria increases under some pathological conditions. Yet, the mechanism of the proapoptotic action of Pal has not been elucidated. We present evidence for the involvement of the mitochondrial cyclosporin A-insensitive pore induced by Pal/Ca(2+) complexes in the apoptotic process. Opening of this pore led to a fall of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of the proapoptotic signal cytochrome c. The addition of cytochrome c prevented these effects and recovered membrane potential, which is in contrast to the cyclosporin A-sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Oleic and linoleic acids prevented the Pal/Ca(2+)-induced pore opening in the intact mitochondria, this directly and significantly correlating with the effect of these fatty acids on Pal-induced apoptosis in cells (Hardy S et al (2003) J Biol Chem 278: 31861-31870). The specific probe for cardiolipin, 10-N-nonyl acridine orange, inhibited formation of this pore.

Abstract
The activity of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel (mitoKATP) of rat heart and liver mitochondria was shown to decrease during aging. This partially explains the increase of risk of ischemia at a mature age since mitoKATP activation provides cardioprotection. We demonstrated that uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) possesses the property to activate mitoKATP. At a concentration of 30 microM, it reactivated mitoKATP in mitochondria, and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) eliminated this effect. In experimental animals, UDP precursors uridine and uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP) (both 30 mg/kg, administered intravenously 5 min before coronary occlusion) decreased the myocardium ischemic alteration index (1.9 and 3.5 times, respectively) and the T-wave amplitude within 60 min after occlusion. Both effects were inhibited by Glibenclamide (Glib) and 5-HD. UMP and uridine decreased the number of premature ventricular beats 5.6 and 1.9 times and the duration of ventricular tachycardia 9.4 and 4.1 times, respectively. Glib and 5-HD inhibited the anti-arrhythmic parameters, 5-HD being less effective. Uridine and UMP decreased the duration of fibrillation 10.8 and 3.6 times, respectively, and this effect was not abolished by Glib and 5-HD. Thus, uridine and UMP, which are the precursors of UDP in the cell, possess cardioprotective properties. MitoKATP prevents mainly ischemic injuries and partially rhythm disorders.

Abstract
The mechanism of the palmitate-induced opening of the mitochondrial Ca2+-dependent cyclosporin A (CsA)-insensitive pore was studied, as well as the influence on this process of well-known modulators of the CsA-sensitive Ca2+-dependent pore. Palmitic acid, which can bind Ca2+ with high affinity, induced the cyclosporin A-insensitive swelling of mitochondria, whereas palmitoleic and 2-bromopalmitic acids, which have no such affinity for Ca2+, failed to induce the pore opening. The palmitate-induced Ca2+-dependent swelling of mitochondria was not affected by a well-known inhibitor of the CsA-sensitive pore (ADP) and an activator of this pore (inorganic phosphate, P(i)). However, this swelling was inhibited by physiological concentrations of ATP ([I]50 = 1.3 mM), but 100 microM ATP increased by 30% the rate of mitochondria swelling if Ca2+ had been added earlier. The effects of ATP (inhibition and activation) manifested themselves from different sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mg2+ inhibited the palmitate-induced Ca2+-dependent swelling of mitochondria with [I]50 = 0.8 mM. It is concluded that palmitic acid induces the opening of the CsA-insensitive pore due to its ability for complexing with Ca2+. A possible mechanism of the pore formation and the influence of some modulators on this process are discussed.

Abstract
A possible role of palmitic acid/Ca2+ (PA/Ca2+) complexes in the cyclosporin-insensitive permeability transition in mitochondria has been studied. It has been shown that in the presence of Ca2+, PA induces a swelling of mitochondria, which is not inhibited by cyclosporin A. The swelling is accompanied by a drop in membrane potential, which cannot be explained only by a work of the Ca2+ uniporter. With time, the potential is restored. Evidence has been obtained indicating that the specific content of mitochondrial lipids would favor the PA/Ca2+ -induced permeabilization of the membrane. In experiments with liposomes, the PA/Ca2+ -induced membrane permeabilization was larger for liposomes formed from the mitochondrial lipids, as compared to the azolectin liposomes. Additionally, it has been found that in mitochondria of the TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-sensitive cells (WEHI-164 line), the content of PA is larger than in mitochondria of the TNF-insensitive cells (C6 line), with this difference being mainly provided by PA incorporated in phosphatidylethanolamine and especially, cardiolipin. The PA/Ca2+ -dependent mechanism of permeability transition in mitochondria might be related to some pathologies, e.g. myocardial ischemia. The heaviness of myocardial infarction of ischemic patients has been demonstrated to correlate directly with the content of PA in the human blood serum.

Abstract
The ATP-sensitive potassium channel from the inner mitochondrial membrane (mitoK(ATP)) is a highly selective conductor of K(+) ions. When isolated in the presence of nonionic detergent and reconstituted in liposomes, mitoK(ATP) is inhibited with high affinity by ATP (K((1/2)) = 20-30 microM). We have suggested that holo-mitoK(ATP) is a heteromultimer consisting of an inwardly rectifying K(+) channel (mitoKIR) and a sulfonylurea receptor (Grover, G. J., and Garlid, K. D. (2000) J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol. 32, 677-695). Here, we show that a 55-kDa protein isolated by ethanol extraction and reconstituted in bilayer lipid membranes and liposomes is the mitoKIR. This protein, which lacks the sulfonylurea receptor subunit, is inhibited with low affinity by ATP, with K(1/2) approximately 550 microM. ATP inhibition of both mitoKIR and holo-mitoK(ATP) is reversed by UDP (K((1/2))1/2 = 10-15 microM). Holo-mitoK(ATP) is and diazoxide, and the opened by cromakalim flux through the open channel is inhibited by glibenclamide and 5-hydroxydecanoate. None of these agents has any effect upon mitoKIR. We have identified two compounds that act specifically on mitoKIR. p-diethylaminoethylbenzoate reverses inhibition of mitoKIR by ATP and ADP at micromolar concentrations and also opens mitoK(ATP) in isolated mitochondria. Tetraphenylphosphonium inhibits K(+) flux through both mitoKIR and mitoK(ATP) with the same apparent affinity. These findings support the hypothesis that the 55-kDa mitoKIR is the channel component of mitoK(ATP).

Abstract
Formation of palmitic acid/Ca(2+) (PA/Ca(2+)) complexes was suggested to play a key role in the non-classical permeability transition in mitochondria (NCPT), which seems to be involved in the PA-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Our previous studies of complexation of free fatty acids (FFA) with Ca(2+) showed that long-chain (C:16-C:22) saturated FFA had an affinity to Ca(2+), which was much higher than that of other FFA and lipids. The formation of FFA/Ca(2+) complexes in the black-lipid membrane (BLM) was demonstrated to induce a nonspecific ion permeability of the membrane. In the present work, we have found that binding of Ca(2+) to PA incorporated into the membrane of sulforhodamine B (SRB)-loaded liposomes results in an instant release of a part of SRB, with the quantity of SRB released depending on the concentration of PA and Ca(2+). The pH-optimum of this phenomenon, similar to that of PA/Ca(2+) complexation, is in the alkaline range. The same picture of SRB release has been revealed for stearic, but not for linoleic acid. Along with Ca(2+), some other bivalent cations (Ba(2+), Sr(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+)) also induce SRB release upon binding to PA-containing liposomes, while Mg(2+) turns out to be relatively ineffective. As revealed by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, the apparent size of liposomes does not alter after the addition of PA, Ca(2+) or their combination. So it has been supposed that the cause of SRB release from liposomes is the formation of lipid pores. The effect of FFA/Ca(2+)-induced permeabilization of liposomal membranes has several analogies with NCPT, suggesting that both these phenomena are of similar nature.

Abstract
A mitochondrial hydrophobic component that forms Ca2+-induced nonspecific ion channels in black-lipid membranes (Mironova et al., 1997) has been purified and its nature elucidated. It consists of long-chain saturated fatty acids--mainly palmitic and stearic. These fatty acids, similar to the mitochondrial hydrophobic component, bind Ca2+ with high affinity in comparison with unsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids with shorter aliphatic chains, phospholipids, and other lipids. Ca2+-binding is inhibited by Mg2+ but not by K+. For palmitic acid, the Kd for Ca2+ was 5 microM at pH 8.5 and 15 microM at pH 7.5, with the Bmax of 0.48 +/- 0.08 mmol/g. This corresponds to one Ca2+ ion for eight palmitic acid molecules. The data of IR spectroscopy confirm that Ca2+ does not form ionic bonds with palmitic and stearic acids under hydrophobic conditions. It has been found that in the presence of Ca2+, palmitic and stearic acids, but not unsaturated FFA induce a nonspecific permeability in black-lipid membranes. Addition of Ca2+ in order to induce the permeability transition, increases the extractable amount of palmitic and stearic acids, the effect being prevented by a phospholipase A2 inhibitor. The possible involvement of palmitic and stearic acids in the mitochondrial nonspecific permeability is discussed.
