Diapausing embryos of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus have the highest reported anoxia tolerance of any vertebrate and previous studies indicate modified mitochondrial physiology
likely supports anoxic metabolism. Functional mitochondria isolated from diapausing and developing embryos of the annual killifish
exhibited VO2, respiratory control ratios (RCR), and P:O ratios consistent with those obtained from other ectothermic vertebrate species.
Reduced oxygen consumption associated with dormancy in whole animal respiration rates are correlated with maximal respiration
rates of mitochondria isolated from diapausing versus developing embryos. P:O ratios for developing embryos were similar to
those obtained from adult liver, but were diminished in mitochondria from diapausing embryos suggesting decreased oxidative
efficiency. Proton leak in adult liver corresponded with that of developing embryos but was elevated in mitochondria isolated
from diapausing embryos. In metabolically suppressed diapause II embryos, over 95% of the mitochondrial oxygen consumption
is accounted for by proton leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Decreased activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain
complexes correlates with diminished oxidative capacity of isolated mitochondria, especially during diapause. Respiratory
complexes exhibited suppressed activity in mitochondria with the ATP synthase exhibiting the greatest inhibition during diapause
II. Mitochondria isolated from diapause II embryos are not poised to produce ATP, but rather to shuttle carbon and electrons
through the Kreb’s cycle while minimizing the generation of a proton motive force. This particular mitochondrial physiology
is likely a mechanism to avoid production of reactive oxygen species during large-scale changes in flux through oxidative
phosphorylation pathways associated with metabolic transitions into and out of dormancy and anoxia. 相似文献

The action of carbenoxolone on hepatic energy metabolism was investigated in the perfused rat liver and isolated mitochondria. In perfused livers, carbenoxolone (200-300 microM) increased oxygen consumption, glucose production and glycolysis from endogenous glycogen. Gluconeogenesis from lactate or fructose, an energy-dependent process, was inhibited. This effect was already evident at a concentration of 25 microM. The cellular ATP levels and the adenine nucleotide content were decreased by carbenoxolone, whereas the AMP levels were increased. In isolated mitochondria, carbenoxolone stimulated state IV respiration and decreased the respiratory coefficient with the substrates beta-hydroxybutyrate and succinate. The ATPase of intact mitochondria was stimulated, the ATPase of uncoupled mitochondria was inhibited, and the ATPase of disrupted mitochondria was not altered by carbenoxolone. These results indicate that carbenoxolone acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and, possibly, as an inhibitor of the ATP/ADP exchange system. The inhibitory action of carbenoxolone on mitochondrial energy metabolism could be contributing to induce the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), a key phenomenon in apoptosis. The results of the present study can explain, partly at least, the in vivo hepatotoxic actions of carbenoxolone that were found in a previous clinical evaluation. 相似文献

The effect of exogenous glutamic acid on nitrogenous and energetic metabolism of isolated perfused heart of the rat was studied under anoxia. Addition of 5 mM glutamic acid to the perfusate significantly increased the ATP level in anoxic heart. Perfusion of anoxic heart with 5 mM glutamic acid recovered the glutamate and aspartate tissue content and caused augmented production of alanine and succinate, while lactate formation did not change. In the presence of glutamic acid, the glutamine and asparagine contents in the heart-perfusate system markedly increased; however, the ammonia content did not reduce significantly. The effect on glutamic acid was reproduced by its transamination products, 5 mM aspartic and 5 mM alpha-ketoglutaric acids, and was totally eliminated by 2 mM aminooxyacetic acid, an inhibitor of transaminases. These data suggest that the glutamate-induced protective effect of ATP is probably related to the stimulation of substrate phosphorylation in mitochondria, resulting in succinate synthesis that is coupled with glutamate transamination. 相似文献

Decrease in mitochondrial levels of adenine nucleotides and concomitant mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemic rat liver 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The process of mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemic rat liver was studied. A close correlation was found between decrease in the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide content and deterioration of oxidative phosphorylation capacity. The level of total adenine nucleotides, which was 15--20 nmol/mg protein in mitochondria isolated from normal liver, fell to 1--2 nmol/mg protein with concomitant loss of oxidative phosphorylation capacity after anoxic incubation in vitro or in vivo for 120 min. However, neither the permeability barrier to adenine nucleotides nor matrix enzymes were affected under these conditions. The loss of adenine nucleotides was ascribed to degradation of AMP to adenosine and then leakage of the latter. Conventional procedures for maintenance of oxidative phosphorylation capacity of isolated mitochondria, preservation in the cold and addition of ATP or a respiratory substrate under aerobic conditions, were very effective in maintaining the intramitochondrial levels of adenine nucleotides. Of the three species of adenine nucleotides, only AMP was ineffective in maintaining mitochondrial function; mitochondria containing more than 5 nmol of ATP plus ADP/mg protein exhibited normal activity of oxidative phosphorylation, but with less than 2 nmol they showed no activity. 相似文献

1. Incubation of hepatocytes from fed or starved rats with increasing glucose concentrations caused a stimulation of lactate production, which was further increased under anaerobic conditions. 2. When glycolysis was stimulated by anoxia, [fructose 2,6-bis-phosphate] was decreased, indicating that this ester could not be responsible for the onset of anaerobic glycolysis. In addition, the effect of glucose in increasing [fructose 2,6-bisphosphate] under aerobic conditions was greatly impaired in anoxic hepatocytes. [Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate] was also diminished in ischaemic liver, skeletal muscle and heart. 3. The following changes in metabolite concentration were observed in anaerobic hepatocytes: AMP, ADP, lactate and L-glycerol 3-phosphate were increased; ATP, citrate and pyruvate were decreased: phosphoenolpyruvate and hexose 6-phosphates were little affected. Concentrations of adenine nucleotides were, however, little changed by anoxia when hepatocytes from fed rats were incubated with 50 mM-glucose. 4. The activity of ATP:fructose 6-phosphate 2-phosphotransferase was not affected by anoxia but decreased by cyclic AMP. 5. The role of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the regulation of glycolysis is discussed. 相似文献

The actions of tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator used in chemotherapy and chemo-prevention of breast cancer, on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were investigated in the isolated perfused rat liver. Tamoxifen inhibited gluconeogenesis from both lactate and fructose at very low concentrations (e.g., 5 μM). The opposite, i.e., stimulation, was found for glycolysis from both endogenous glycogen and fructose. Oxygen uptake was unaffected, inhibited or stimulated, depending on the conditions. Stimulation occurred in both microsomes and mitochondria. Tamoxifen did not affect the most important key-enzymes of gluconeogenesis, namely, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, pyruvate carboxylase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and glucose 6-phosphatase. Confirming previous observations, however, tamoxifen inhibited very strongly NADH- and succinate-oxidase of freeze–thawing disrupted mitochondria. Tamoxifen promoted the release of both lactate dehydrogenase (mainly cytosolic) and fumarase (mainly mitochondrial) into the perfusate. Tamoxifen (200 μM) clearly diminished the ATP content and increased the ADP content of livers in the presence of lactate with a diminution of the ATP/ADP ratio from 1.67 to 0.79. The main causes for gluconeogenesis inhibition are probably: (a) inhibition of energy metabolism; (b) deviation of intermediates (malate and glucose 6-phosphate) for the production of NADPH required in hydroxylation and demethylation reactions; (c) deviation of glucosyl units toward glucuronidation reactions; (d) secondary inhibitory action of nitric oxide, whose production is stimulated by tamoxifen; (e) impairment of the cellular structure, especially the membrane structure. Stimulation of glycolysis is probably a compensatory phenomenon for the diminished mitochondrial ATP production. The multiple actions of tamoxifen at relatively low concentrations can represent a continuous burden to the overall hepatic functions during long treatment periods. 相似文献

The effects of fructose on the intracellular ionic changes evoked by anoxia were studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes maintained in agarose gel threads and perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (KHB). Cytosolic free calcium (Ca2+i) was measured with aequorin, intracellular sodium (Na+i) with sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate, intracellular pH (pHi) with 2'-7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) by the increase in NADH absorbance during lactate oxidation to pyruvate, and viability by trypan blue exclusion. ATP, Pi, phosphomonoesters, and the cell phosphorylation potential assessed by the reciprocal of the Pi/ATP ratio were measured by 31P NMR spectroscopy in real time. Intracellular free Mg2+ (Mg2+i) was calculated from the chemical shift of beta-ATP relative to alpha-ATP in the NMR spectra. Anoxia was induced by perfusing the cells with KHB saturated with 95% N2, 5% CO2. When the perfusate contained 5 mM glucose as substrate, anoxia caused a fall in ATP, a rise in Pi, and in the Pi/ATP ratio, a biphasic increase in Ca2+i that reached 1.45 +/- 0.42 microM and a 6-fold increase in LDH. When 15 mM fructose was used as substrate during the anoxic period, intracellular ATP decreased much faster than with glucose, Pi did not increase, and the concentration of phosphomonoesters increased 2.5-fold. During the first hour of anoxia, the Pi/ATP ratio was higher in the fructose than in the glucose group indicating that the hepatocyte phosphorylation potential and ATP decreased faster and to lower levels with fructose than with glucose. On the other hand, ATP and the phosphorylation potential of the fructose group increased during the second hour of anoxia, in contrast to their continuous decline in the glucose group. The major surge in Ca2+i was depressed 52% when glucose was replaced by fructose: Ca2+i reached only 0.7 +/- 0.2 microM instead of 1.45 +/- 0.42 microM (p less than 0.01). Anoxia also caused an increase in Na+i and an intracellular acidosis. The rise in Na+i was significantly greater with fructose than with glucose. Na+i rose from a control value of 15.9 +/- 2.4 to 32.2 +/- 0.4 mM with glucose and to 48.7 +/- 0.7 mM with fructose (p less than 0.001). The decrease in pHi from a control value of 7.43 +/- 0.03 was consistently greater and faster with fructose than with glucose: 6.59 +/- 0.03 and 7.04 +/- 0.01, respectively. At the same time, fructose completely suppressed LDH release and reduced the loss of viability produced by anoxia from 27.7 +/- 2.9 to 14 +/- 3.1% (p less than 0.05). 相似文献

The stimulatory effect of fructose on ethanol oxidation was studied in livers from fasted rats perfused with Krebs-Henseleit-bicarbonate buffer in a non-recirculating system. Two series of experiments were performed: (A) ethanol was infused with stepwise increasing concentrations (0.1-20 mM) in the presence of 4 mM fructose; (B) fructose was infused with stepwise increasing concentrations (0.5-10 mM) in the presence of 2 mM ethanol. From measured metabolic rates the following parameters were calculated: energy-rich phosphates consumed for fructose metabolism which were provided from oxidative phosphorylation (delta approximately P); reducing equivalents derived from stimulated ethanol utilization which were disposed by mitochondrial oxidation (delta2H). Under the various conditions studied a linear relationship between these parameters was observed. The ratio delta approximately P/delta2H was about 2.0. It is suggested that fructose stimulates ethanol oxidation indirectly by increasing the energy consumption of the liver due to the production of glucose from fructose. Consequetnly, the rate of oxidative phosphorylation is increased and, therefore, the capacity of the respiratory chain for oxidizing reducing equivalents derived from ethanol is enhanced. The data support the more general hypothesis that the rate of ethanol oxidation depend upon the rate of hepatic energy consumption in a given metabolic state. 相似文献

Here, we show that 3 days of mitochondrial uncoupling, induced by low concentrations of dinitrophenol (10 and 50 microM) in cultured human HepG2 cells, triggers cellular metabolic adaptation towards oxidative metabolism. Chronic respiratory uncoupling of HepG2 cells induced an increase in cellular oxygen consumption, oxidative capacity and cytochrome c oxidase activity. This was associated with an upregulation of COXIV and ANT3 gene expression, two nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Glucose consumption, lactate and pyruvate production and growth rate were unaffected, indicating that metabolic adaptation of HepG2 cells undergoing chronic respiratory uncoupling allows continuous and efficient mitochondrial ATP production without the need to increase glycolytic activity. In contrast, 3 days of dinitrophenol treatment did not change the oxidative capacity of human 143B.TK(-) cells, but it increased glucose consumption, lactate and pyruvate production. Despite a large increase in glycolytic metabolism, the growth rate of 143B.TK(-) cells was significantly reduced by dinitrophenol-induced mitochondrial uncoupling. We propose that chronic respiratory uncoupling may constitute an internal bioenergetic signal, which would initiate a coordinated increase in nuclear respiratory gene expression, which ultimately drives mitochondrial metabolic adaptation within cells. 相似文献

Lactate has long been regarded as an end product of anaerobic energy production and its fate in cerebral metabolism has not been precisely delineated. In this report, we demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of a human astrocytic cell line (CCF-STTG1) to consume lactate and to generate ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. (13)C-NMR and HPLC analyses aided in the identification of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cyle metabolites and ATP in the astrocytic mitochondria incubated with lactate. Oxamate, an inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), abolished mitochondrial lactate consumption. Electrophoretic and fluorescence microscopic analyses helped localize LDH in the mitochondria. Taken together, this study implicates lactate as an important contributor to ATP metabolism in the brain, a finding that may significantly change our notion of how this important organ manipulates its energy budget. 相似文献

Nucleotide metabolism in potato (Solanum tuberosum) mitochondria was studied using 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the O2 electrode. Immediately following the addition of ADP, ATP synthesis exceeded the rate of oxidative phosphorylation, fueled by succinate oxidation, due to mitochondrial adenylate kinase (AK) activity two to four times the maximum activity of ATP synthase. Only when the AK reaction approached equilibrium was oxidative phosphorylation the primary mechanism for net ATP synthesis. A pool of sequestered ATP in mitochondria enabled AK and ATP synthase to convert AMP to ATP in the presence of exogenous inorganic phosphate. During this conversion, AK activity can indirectly influence rates of oxidation of both succinate and NADH via changes in mitochondrial ATP. Mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphokinase, in cooperation with ATP synthase, was found to facilitate phosphorylation of nucleoside diphosphates other than ADP at rates similar to the maximum rate of oxidative phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that plant mitochondria contain all of the machinery necessary to rapidly regenerate nucleoside triphosphates from AMP and nucleoside diphosphates made during cellular biosynthesis and that AK activity can affect both the amount of ADP available to ATP synthase and the level of ATP regulating electron transport. 相似文献

Effects of glucose concentration and anoxia upon the metabolite concentrations and rates of glycolysis and respiration have been investigated in the perfused liver of the fetal guinea pig. In most cases the metabolite concentrations in the perfused liver were similar to those observed in vivo. Between 50 days and term there was a fall in the respiratory rate and in the concentration of ATP and fructose 1,6-diphosphate and an increase in the concentration of glutamate, glycogen and glucose. Reducing the medium glucose concentration from 10 mM to 1 mM or 0.1 mM depressed lactate production and the concentration of most of the phosphorylated intermediates (except 6-phosphogluconate) in the liver of the 50-day fetus. This indicates a fall in glycolytic rate which is not in accord with the known kinetic properties of hexokinase in the fetal liver. Anoxia increased lactate production by, and the concentrations of, the hexose phosphates ADP and AMP in the 50-day to term fetal liver, while the concentration of ribulose 5-phosphate, ATP and some triose phosphates fell. These results are consistent with an activation of glycolysis, particularly at phosphofructokinase and of a reduction in pentose phosphate pathway activity, particularly at 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The calculated cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratio for the perfused liver was similar to that measured in vivo and evidence is presented to suggest that the dihydroxyacetone phosphate/glycerol 3-phosphate ratio gives a better indication of cytosolic redox than the lactate/pyruvate ratio. The present observations indicate that phosphofructokinase hexokinase and possibly pyruvate kinase control the glycolytic rate and that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is at equilibrium in the perfused liver of the fetal guinea pig. 相似文献

The role of glucose in the survival and `recovery'' of the anoxic isolated perfused rat heart 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8
Studies with the isolated perfused working rat heart were carried out to investigate factors that may enable the heart to recover after periods of anoxia. It was found that the presence of glucose in the perfusion fluid during anoxia was essential for complete post-anoxic recovery and the presence of a high concentration of K(+) increased not only the rate of recovery but also the final extent of recovery. In an attempt to clarify the roles played by glucose and K(+) in aiding the survival and recovery of the anoxic myocardium the concentrations of parameters associated with energy liberation and anaerobic glycolysis (ATP, ADP, AMP, P(i), creatine phosphate, glycogen and lactate) were measured in the presence and absence of glucose during the anoxic phase. Determinations of these parameters were carried out during the working aerobic control period, the anoxic period (K(+) arrest) and the recovery period. The results demonstrated that glucose acted as an energy source during anoxia and thus maintained myocardial concentrations of high-energy phosphates, particularly ATP. These studies have also shown a direct relationship between the ability of the heart to recover and the concentration of myocardial ATP at the time of reoxygenation. 相似文献

A clearer picture of the hepatic metabolic pathways affected by fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) would help develop nutritional support and nonsurgical therapies for FHF. We characterized the evolution of hepatic metabolism in a rat model of FHF using an isolated perfused liver system together with a mass-balance model of intermediary metabolism. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify potential new sensitive markers for FHF. To induce FHF, rats were given two D-galactosamine injections under fasting conditions. Controls were fasted only. Livers were harvested 1, 4, 8, and 12 h later and perfused with Eagle minimal essential medium supplemented with amino acids and bovine serum albumin, and equilibrated with 95% O2/5% CO2. At the 1 h time point, lactate release increased concomitant with a decrease in gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle and mitochondrial electron transport fluxes. At 4 h, amino acid metabolism and urea cycle fluxes were significantly depressed. By 8 h, gluconeogenesis had switched to glycolysis. By 12 h, amino acid metabolism was broadly inhibited, and there was a net release of many amino acids. Mass-balance analysis shows that the main source of ATP production in the FHF liver gradually changed from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. PCA suggests that a linear combination of glucose, lactate, and glutamine concentrations in arterial plasma is a sensitive marker for FHF. We conclude that D-galactosamine causes early mitochondrial dysfunction while glycolytic ATP synthesis remains functional. Markers that are indirectly linked to these pathways may be used to evaluate the progression of FHF. 相似文献

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become common liver disease in Western countries. There is accumulating evidence that mitochondria play a key role in NAFLD. Nevertheless, the mitochondrial consequences of steatohepatitis are still unknown. The bioenergetic changes induced in a methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCDD) model of steatohepatitis were studied in rats. Liver mitochondria from MCDD rats exhibited a higher rate of oxidative phosphorylation with various substrates, a rise in cytochrome oxidase (COX) activity, and an increased content in cytochrome aa3. This higher oxidative activity was associated with a low efficiency of the oxidative phosphorylation (ATP/O, i.e., number of ATP synthesized/natom O consumed). Addition of a low concentration of cyanide, a specific COX inhibitor, restored the efficiency of mitochondria from MCDD rats back to the control level. Furthermore, the relation between respiratory rate and protonmotive force (in the nonphosphorylating state) was shifted to the left in mitochondria from MCDD rats, with or without cyanide. These results indicated that, in MCDD rats, mitochondrial ATP synthesis efficiency was decreased in relation to both proton pump slipping at the COX level and increased proton leak although the relative contribution of each phenomenon could not be discriminated. MCDD mitochondria also showed a low reactive oxygen species production and a high lipid oxidation potential. We conclude that, in MCDD-fed rats, liver mitochondria exhibit an energy wastage that may contribute to limit steatosis and oxidative stress in this model of steatohepatitis. 相似文献

Previous studies in this laboratory showed that hypoxia and anoxia enhance the susceptibility of hepatocytes to tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBH)-induced oxidative injury. To determine whether preceding exposure to anoxia affects postanoxic sensitivity to oxidative injury, viability was studied in hepatocytes incubated under anoxic conditions followed by reoxygenation without or with tert-butylhydroperoxide addition. Results showed that a preceding exposure to 60 min of anoxia substantially increased the vulnerability of cells to injury by the oxidant. Because substantial tissue lactate can accumulate during anoxia, the effect of increased lactate on postanoxic injury due to TBH was determined. Results showed that added lactate protected in a concentration-dependent manner. The TBH elimination rate was stimulated by lactate, and the pyruvate production rate approached the rate of TBH elimination. Thus, lactate protects against postanoxic oxidative injury by supplying reducing equivalents for peroxide reduction. This suggests that lactate accumulation during ischemia may be beneficial and that supplementation with lactate could be considered as a means to protect against postischemic injury. 相似文献

Some vertebrates depress overall metabolism in an abrupt and reversible fashion when challenged with anoxia, ensuring stabilization of cellular [ATP] and long-term survival, but little is known about the eliciting stimuli (e.g., change in O2, adenylates) and downstream effectors responsible for metabolic arrest. Accordingly, eel (Anguilla anguilla) hepatocytes were treated with inhibitors of putative components of the oxygen/metabolite-sensing pathway(s) and exposed to anoxia (Po2=0 mmHg). Anoxia in untreated cells caused a remarkable 85-fold decrease in ATP production rate, but cellular ATP levels stabilized following an initial steep drop. Reoxygenation of cells after 4 h of anoxia caused a fast metabolization of accumulated lactate and reestablishment of preanoxic ATP levels. Unlike physiological anoxia, pharmacological inhibition of the electron transport chain in the presence of oxygen caused extensive cellular ATP depletion, though no loss in viability. In contrast, cellular lactate (i.e., ATP) production rate was affected similarly by either treatment, suggesting that anaerobic glycolysis is regulated by a stimulus other than oxygen tension per se, whereas the continuous matching of ATP consumption and a rapidly ceasing mitochondrial ATP supply require a physiological relevant change in oxygen tension. Protein kinases, notably kinase C (PKC) and A (PKA), have been proposed as key downstream regulators of stress-induced defense mechanisms, but anoxic cell viability, metabolic rate, and [ATP] were not significantly affected by inhibitors of PKC and PKA. Likewise, inhibition of the upstream PKC-activating enzymes phospholipase C (PLC) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) had no effect on recorded parameters. Anoxic cell survival in complex organisms may, in vivo, also depend on stress hormones released from distant oxygen-sensing cells. Accordingly, adrenaline elevated anaerobic energy production but, apparently, also elevated ATP consumption because cellular ATP levels during oxygen deprivation were slightly lowered by adrenergic stimulation. 相似文献
