Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a naturally occurring polyanion made of ten to several hundred orthophosphates (Pi) linked together by phosphoanhydride bonds. PolyP is ubiquitously present in all organisms from bacteria to humans. Specific physiological roles of polyP vary dramatically depending on its size, concentration, tissue and subcellular localization. Recently we reported that mitochondria of ventricular myocytes contain significant amounts (280 ± 60 pmol/mg of protein) of polyP with an average length of 25 orthophosphates, and that polyP is involved in Ca2+-dependent activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Here we extend our study to demonstrate the involvement of mitochondrial polyP in cardiac cell death. Furthermore, we show that polyP levels depend on the activity of the respiratory chain and are lower in myocytes from failing hearts. We conclude that polyP is a dynamically regulated macromolecule that plays an important role in mPTP-dependent cell death pathway.  相似文献

Bnip3 is a pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein which is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Bnip3 is also a potent inducer of autophagy in many cells. In this study, we have investigated the mechanism by which Bnip3 induces autophagy in adult cardiac myocytes. Overexpression of Bnip3 induced extensive autophagy in adult cardiac myocytes. Fluorescent microscopy studies and ultrastructural analysis revealed selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy in myocytes overexpressing Bnip3. Oxidative stress and increased levels of intracellular Ca2+ have been reported by others to induce autophagy, but Bnip3-induced autophagy was not abolished by antioxidant treatment or the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM. We also investigated the role of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in Bnip3-induced autophagy. Although the mPTP has previously been implicated in the induction of autophagy and selective removal of damaged mitochondria by autophagosomes, mitochondria sequestered by autophagosomes in Bnip3-treated cardiac myocytes had not undergone permeability transition, and treatment with the mPTP inhibitor cyclosporine A did not inhibit mitochondrial autophagy in cardiac myocytes. Moreover, cyclophilin D (cypD) is an essential component of the mPTP and Bnip3 induced autophagy to the same extent in embryonic fibroblasts isolated from wild-type and cypD-deficient mice. These results support a model where Bnip3 induces selective removal of the mitochondria in cardiac myocytes, and that Bnip3 triggers induction of autophagy independent of Ca2+, ROS generation, and mPTP opening.  相似文献

Mitochondrial free calcium is critically linked to the regulation of cellular metabolism. Free ionic calcium concentration within these organelles is determined by the interplay between two processes: exchange across the mitochondrial inner membrane and calcium-buffering within the matrix. During stimulated calcium uptake, calcium is primarily buffered by orthophosphate, preventing calcium toxicity while allowing for well-regulated yet elevated calcium loads. However, if limited to orthophosphates only, this buffering system is expected to lead to the irreversible formation of insoluble precipitates, which are not observed in living cells, under physiological conditions. Here, we demonstrate that the regulation of free mitochondrial calcium requires the presence of free inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) within the organelle. We found that the overexpression of a mitochondrial-targeted enzyme hydrolyzing polyP leads to the loss of the cellular ability to maintain elevated calcium concentrations within the organelle, following stimulated cytoplasmic signal. We hypothesize that the presence of polyP prevents the formation of calcium-phosphate insoluble clusters, allowing for the maintenance of elevated free calcium levels, during stimulated calcium uptake.  相似文献

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a biopolymer of phosphoanhydride-linked orthophosphate residues. PolyP is involved in multiple cellular processes including mitochondrial metabolism and cell death. We used artificial membranes and isolated mitochondria to investigate the role of the polyP in mitochondrial ion transport and in activation of PTP. Here, we found that polyP can modify ion permeability of de-energised mitochondrial membranes but not artificial membranes. This permeability was selective for Ba2+ and Ca2+ but not for other monovalent and bivalent cations and can be blocked by inhibitors of the permeability transition pore – cyclosporine A or ADP. Lower concentrations of polyP modulate calcium dependent permeability transition pore opening. Increase in polyP concentrations and elongation chain length of the polymer causes calcium independent swelling in energized conditions. Physiologically relevant concentrations of inorganic polyP can regulate calcium dependent as well calcium independent mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. This raises the possibility that cytoplasmic polyP can be an important contributor towards regulation of the cell death.  相似文献

Mitochondria and Ca(2+)in cell physiology and pathophysiology   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Duchen MR 《Cell calcium》2000,28(5-6):339-348
There is now a consensus that mitochondria take up and accumulate Ca(2+)during physiological [Ca(2+)](c)signalling. This contribution will consider some of the functional consequences of mitochondrial Ca(2+)uptake for cell physiology and pathophysiology. The ability to remove Ca(2+)from local cytosol enables mitochondria to regulate the [Ca(2+)] in microdomains close to IP3-sensitive Ca(2+)-release channels. The [Ca(2+)] sensitivity of these channels means that, by regulating local [Ca(2+)](c), mitochondrial Ca(2+)uptake modulates the rate and extent of propagation of [Ca(2+)](c)waves in a variety of cell types. The coincidence of mitochondrial Ca(2+)uptake with oxidative stress may open the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). This is a catastrophic event for the cell that will initiate pathways to cell death either by necrotic or apoptotic pathways. A model is presented in which illumination of an intramitochondrial fluorophore is used to generate oxygen radical species within mitochondria. This causes mitochondrial Ca(2+)loading from SR and triggers mPTP opening. In cardiomyocytes, mPTP opening leads to ATP consumption by the mitochondrial ATPase and so results in ATP depletion, rigor and necrotic cell death. In central mammalian neurons exposed to glutamate, a cellular Ca(2+)overload coincident with NO production also causes loss of mitochondrial potential and cell death, but mPTP involvement has proven more difficult to demonstrate unequivocally.  相似文献

Long-lasting mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) openings damage mitochondria, but transient mPTP openings protect against chronic cardiac stress. To probe the mechanism, we subjected isolated cardiac mitochondria to gradual Ca(2+) loading, which, in the absence of BSA, induced long-lasting mPTP opening, causing matrix depolarization. However, with BSA present to mimic cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins, the mitochondrial population remained polarized and functional, even after matrix Ca(2+) release caused an extramitochondrial free [Ca(2+)] increase to >10 μM, unless mPTP openings were inhibited. These findings could be explained by asynchronous transient mPTP openings allowing individual mitochondria to depolarize long enough to flush accumulated matrix Ca(2+) and then to repolarize rapidly after pore closure. Because subsequent matrix Ca(2+) reuptake via the Ca(2+) uniporter is estimated to be >100-fold slower than matrix Ca(2+) release via mPTP, only a tiny fraction of mitochondria (<1%) are depolarized at any given time. Our results show that transient mPTP openings allow cardiac mitochondria to defend themselves collectively against elevated cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels as long as respiratory chain activity is able to balance proton influx with proton pumping. We found that transient mPTP openings also stimulated reactive oxygen species production, which may engage reactive oxygen species-dependent cardioprotective signaling.  相似文献

The status of glutathione (GSH) was studied in isolated rat liver mitochondria under conditions which induce a permeability transition. This transition, which is inhibited by cyclosporin A (CyA), requires the presence of Ca2+ and an inducing agent such as near physiological levels (3 mM) of inorganic phosphate (Pi). The transition is characterized by an increased inner membrane permeability to some low molecular weight solutes and by large amplitude swelling under some experimental conditions. Addition of 70 microM Ca2+ and 3 mM Pi to mitochondria resulted in mitochondrial swelling and extensive release of GSH that was recovered in the extramitochondrial medium as GSH. Both swelling and the efflux of mitochondrial GSH were prevented by CyA. Incubation of mitochondria in the presence of Ca2+, Pi, and GSH followed by addition of CyA provided a mechanism to load mitochondria with exogenous GSH that was greater than the rate of uptake by untreated mitochondria. Thus, GSH efflux from mitochondria may occur under toxicological and pathological conditions in which mitochondria are exposed to elevated Ca2+ in the presence of near physiological concentrations of Pi through a nonspecific pore. Cyclical opening and closing of the pore could also provide a mechanism for uptake of GSH by mitochondria.  相似文献

Although recent studies focused on the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ to the mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury, the regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ under pathophysiological conditions remains largely unclear. By using saponin-permeabilized rat myocytes, we measured mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) and mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](m)) at the physiological range of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](c); 300 nM) and investigated the regulation of [Ca2+](m) during both normal and dissipated DeltaPsi(m). When DeltaPsi(m) was partially depolarized by carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 0.01-0.1 microM), there were dose-dependent decreases in [Ca2+](m). When complete DeltaPsi(m) dissipation was achieved by FCCP (0.3-1 microM), [Ca2+](m) remained at one-half of the control level despite no Ca2+ influx via the Ca2+ uniporter. The DeltaPsi(m) dissipation by FCCP accelerated calcein leakage from mitochondria in a cyclosporin A (CsA)-sensitive manner, which indicates that DeltaPsi(m) dissipation opened the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). After FCCP addition, inhibition of the mPTP by CsA caused further [Ca2+](m) reduction; however, inhibition of mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchange (mitoNCX) by a Na+-free solution abolished this [Ca2+](m) reduction. Cytosolic Na(+) concentrations that yielded one-half maximal activity levels for mitoNCX were 3.6 mM at normal DeltaPsi(m) and 7.6 mM at DeltaPsi(m) dissipation. We conclude that 1) the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter accumulates Ca2+ in a manner that is dependent on DeltaPsi(m) at the physiological range of [Ca2+](c); 2) DeltaPsi(m) dissipation opens the mPTP and results in Ca2+ influx to mitochondria; and 3) although mitoNCX activity is impaired, mitoNCX extrudes Ca2+ from the matrix even after DeltaPsi(m) dissipation.  相似文献

BackgroundCalcium signaling plays a key role in the regulation of multiple processes in mammalian mitochondria, from cellular bioenergetics to the induction of stress-induced cell death. While the total concentration of calcium inside the mitochondria can increase by several orders of magnitude, the concentration of bioavailable free calcium in mitochondria is maintained within the micromolar range by the mitochondrial calcium buffering system. This calcium buffering system involves the participation of inorganic phosphate. However, the mechanisms of its function are not yet understood. Specifically, it is not clear how calcium-orthophosphate interactions, which normally lead to formation of insoluble precipitates, are capable to dynamically regulate free calcium concentration. Here we test the hypothesis that inorganic polyphosphate, which is a polymerized form of orthophosphate, is capable to from soluble complexes with calcium, playing a significant role in the regulation of the mitochondrial free calcium concentration.MethodsWe used confocal fluorescence microscopy to measure the relative levels of mitochondrial free calcium in cultured hepatoma cells (HepG2) with variable levels of inorganic polyphosphate (polyP).ResultsThe depletion of polyP leads to the significantly lower levels of mitochondrial free calcium concentration under conditions of pathological calcium overload. These results are coherent with previous observations showing that inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) can inhibit calcium-phosphate precipitation and, thus, increase the amount of free calcium.ConclusionsInorganic polyphosphate plays an important role in the regulation of mitochondrial free calcium, leading to its significant increase.General significanceInorganic polyphosphate is a previously unrecognized integral component of the mitochondrial calcium buffering system.  相似文献

Factors contributing to "local control" of Ca2+ release in cardiac myocytes are incompletely understood. We induced local release of Ca2+ by regional exposure of mouse atrial and ventricular myocytes to 10mM caffeine for 500 ms using a rapid solution switcher. Propagation of Ca2+ release was imaged by means of a Nipkow confocal microscope, and fluo-3. Under physiologic conditions, a local release of Ca2+ propagated in atrial myocytes, not in ventricular myocytes. Inhibition of SR Ca2+ uptake (500 nM thapsigargin), and of Ca2+ extrusion via Na/Ca exchange (5mM Ni2+), did not result in propagation in ventricular myocytes. The density of mitochondria was greater in ventricular than in atrial myocytes, although the abundance of ryanodine receptors and myofilaments was similar. Partial inhibition of Ca2+ uptake via the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (5 microM Ru360) caused an increase in the [Ca2+]i transient in paced ventricular myocytes, and consistently resulted in propagation of Ca2+ release. This effect of Ru360 did not appear to be due to altered SR Ca2+ content. These data indicate that Ca2+ uptake via the mitochondrial uniporter occurs on a beat-to-beat basis, and may contribute to local control of Ca2+ release. Propagation of Ca2+ release in atrial myocytes may result in part from the relatively low density of mitochondria present.  相似文献

Neurons experience high metabolic demand during such processes as synaptic vesicle recycling, membrane potential maintenance and Ca2+ exchange/extrusion. The energy needs of these events are met in large part by mitochondrial production of ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. The job of ATP production by the mitochondria is performed by the F1FO ATP synthase, a multi-protein enzyme that contains a membrane-inserted portion, an extra-membranous enzymatic portion and an extensive regulatory complex. Although required for ATP production by mitochondria, recent findings have confirmed that the membrane-confined portion of the c-subunit of the ATP synthase also houses a large conductance uncoupling channel, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), the persistent opening of which produces osmotic dysregulation of the inner mitochondrial membrane, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and cell death. Recent advances in understanding the molecular components of mPTP and its regulatory mechanisms have determined that decreased uncoupling occurs in states of enhanced mitochondrial efficiency; relative closure of mPTP therefore contributes to cellular functions as diverse as cardiac development and synaptic efficacy.  相似文献

Ca2+-uptake accompanied with mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening is studied in rat liver mitochondria. In conditions of MPTP opening, as well as in conditions of MPTP blockage by cyclosporine A (CsA), Ca2+-uptake in mitochondria is counterbalanced by proton efflux into incubation medium. Independent of MPTP opening, observed stoichiometry of this exchange is 1Ca2+ : 1H+. MPTP opening dramatically decreases Ca2+-uptake in mitochondria: from approximately 400 nmol/mg protein in the presence of CsA to approximately 80-100 nmol/mg protein due to the increased mitochondrial membrane permeability. In the absence of CsA Ca2+-uptake is accompanied by the insensitive to Ca2+-uniporter blocker, ruthenium red (RR), release of Ca2+ from mitochondria which corresponds to as well RR-insensitive, but sensitive to CsA uptake of H+ into mitochondrial matrix. This calcium-proton exchange resulting from MPTP opening is observed only when Ca2+ uptake into matrix exceeds some basal level. The data are consistent with an assumption that, contrary to Ca2+-uniporter, MPTP has its own proton conductance. MPTP opening provides exchange of Ca2+ between mitochondria and medium which is coupled to the counterflow of protons into matrix space. Obtained data elucidate the physiological role of MPTP as regulatory mechanism for control of Ca2+-uptake level and intramitochondrial pH.  相似文献

Like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, mitochondria possess two distinct persona. Under normal physiological conditions they synthesise ATP to meet the energy needs of the beating heart. Here calcium acts as a signal to balance the rate of ATP production with ATP demand. However, when the heart is overloaded with calcium, especially when this is accompanied by oxidative stress, mitochondria embrace their darker side, and induce necrotic cell death of the myocytes. This happens acutely in reperfusion injury and chronically in congestive heart failure. Here calcium overload, adenine nucleotide depletion and oxidative stress combine forces to induce the opening of a non-specific pore in the mitochondrial membrane, known as the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). The molecular nature of the mPTP remains controversial but current evidence implicates a matrix protein, cyclophilin-D (CyP-D) and two inner membrane proteins, the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) and the phosphate carrier (PiC). Inhibition of mPTP opening can be achieved with inhibitors of each component, but targeting CyP-D with cyclosporin A (CsA) and its non-immunosuppressive analogues is the best described. In animal models, inhibition of mPTP opening by either CsA or genetic ablation of CyP-D provides strong protection from both reperfusion injury and congestive heart failure. This confirms the mPTP as a promising drug target in human cardiovascular disease. Indeed, the first clinical trials have shown CsA treatment improves recovery after treatment of a coronary thrombosis with angioplasty.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Although mature myocytes rely on mitochondria as the primary source of energy, the role of mitochondria in the developing heart is not well known. Here, we find that closure of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) drives maturation of mitochondrial structure and function and myocyte differentiation. Cardiomyocytes at embryonic day (E) 9.5, when compared to E13.5, displayed fragmented mitochondria with few cristae, a less-polarized mitochondrial membrane potential, higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and an open mPTP. Pharmacologic and genetic closing of the mPTP yielded maturation of mitochondrial structure and function, lowered ROS, and increased myocyte differentiation (measured by counting Z bands). Furthermore, myocyte differentiation was inhibited and enhanced with oxidant and antioxidant treatment, respectively, suggesting that redox-signaling pathways lie downstream of mitochondria to regulate cardiac myocyte differentiation.  相似文献

The mitochondrial role opening (MPT) induced by Ca2+ has been studied in isolated rat heart mitochondria. MPT was characterized as cyclosporine A-inhibited swelling accompanied by the loss of membrane potential (deltapsim) and Ca2+ efflux after the Ca2+ -loading which was followed spectrophotometrically after the Ca2+ -arsenaso-III complex formation. It has been shown that in suspension of isolated mitochondria MPT was activated by low (with maximum at about 20 microM Ca2+) and high concentrations of Ca2+ (the concentration curve shows a saturation at about 1.0-1.5 mM). In all the cases an access of Ca2+ ions to the matrix space of the mitochondria was necessary for MPT induction. MPT activated by low concentrations of Ca2+ was accompanied by slow decrease of deltapsim and slow release of Ca2+, enhanced by ruthenium red (RR), and was independent of the substrate used (glutamate or succinate). It had not been observed if the respiratory chain was inhibited, even if the Ca2+ access to the inner mitochondrial membrane was provided by Ca2+ -ionophore A23187. At high Ca2+ concentrations rapid Ca2+ -uptake and release via Ca2+ -uniporter (inhibited by ruthenium red) followed by extensive swelling (pore formation) have been observed. It had been supposed that rapid MPT at high concentrations of Ca2+ was the result of Ca2+ entrance to the mitochondrial matrix and depolarisation of the mitochondrial membrane. The data obtained show two different mechanisms of Ca2+ -induced MPT. The one is sensitive to the redox-state of the electron transport chain and is abolished if the respiration is inhibited. The other is independent of mitochondrial respiration and needs only Ca2+ access to the inner mitochondrial membrane and Ca2+ binding to some specific sites leading to MPT opening.  相似文献

The present study was designed to characterize the mitochondrial dysfunction induced by catecholamines and to investigate whether curcumin, a natural antioxidant, induces cardioprotective effects against catecholamine-induced cardiotoxicity by preserving mitochondrial function. Because mitochondria play a central role in ischemia and oxidative stress, we hypothesized that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in catecholamine toxicity and in the potential protective effects of curcumin. Male Wistar rats received subcutaneous injection of 150 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1) isoprenaline (ISO) for two consecutive days with or without pretreatment with 60 mg·kg(-1)·day(-1) curcumin. Twenty four hours after, cardiac tissues were examined for apoptosis and oxidative stress. Expression of proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function were measured by real-time RT-PCR. Isolated mitochondria and permeabilized cardiac fibers were used for swelling and mitochondrial function experiments, respectively. Mitochondrial morphology and permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening were assessed by fluorescence in isolated cardiomyocytes. ISO treatment induced cell damage, oxidative stress, and apoptosis that were prevented by curcumin. Moreover, mitochondria seem to play an important role in these effects as respiration and mitochondrial swelling were increased following ISO treatment, these effects being again prevented by curcumin. Importantly, curcumin completely prevented the ISO-induced increase in mPTP calcium susceptibility in isolated cardiomyocytes without affecting mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial network dynamic. The results unravel the importance of mitochondrial dysfunction in isoprenaline-induced cardiotoxicity as well as a new cardioprotective effect of curcumin through prevention of mitochondrial damage and mPTP opening.  相似文献
