The majority of toxic agents act either fully or partially via oxidative stress, the liver, specifically the mitochondria in hepatocytes, being the main target. Maintenance of mitochondrial function is essential for the survival and normal performance of hepatocytes, which have a high energy requirement. Therefore, greater understanding of the role of mitochondria in hepatocytes is of fundamental importance. Mitochondrial function can be analysed in several basic models: hepatocytes cultured in vitro; mitochondria in permeabilised hepatocytes; and isolated mitochondria. The aim of our study was to use all of these approaches to evaluate changes in mitochondria exposed in vitro to a potent non-specific peroxidating agent, tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP), which is known to induce oxidative stress. A decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was observed in cultured hepatocytes treated with tBHP, as illustrated by a significant reduction in Rhodamine 123 accumulation and by a decrease in the fluorescence of the JC-1 molecular probe. Respiratory Complex I in the mitochondria of permeabilised hepatocytes showed high sensitivity to tBHP, as documented by high-resolution respirometry. This could be caused by the oxidation of NADH and NADPH by tBHP, followed by the disruption of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, leading to the collapse of the MMP. A substantial decrease in the MMP, as determined by tetraphenylphosphonium ion-selective electrode measurements, also confirmed the dramatic impact of tBHP-induced oxidative stress on mitochondria. Swelling was observed in isolated mitochondria exposed to tBHP, which could be prevented by cyclosporin A, which is evidence for the role of mitochondrial permeability transition. Our results demonstrate that all of the above-mentioned models can be used for toxicity assessment, and the data obtained are complementary. 相似文献

The accumulation of tetraphenylphosphonium in cultured rat hepatocytes is increased upon alkalization of the extracellular pH. External acidification causes a decrease in the ratio of the intracellular to the extracellular concentration of the cation. The addition of bicarbonate to the incubation medium induces an increase in the tetraphenylphosphonium distribution ratio whereas the effect of NH4+ is to decrease it. Concomitant measurements of the distribution of dimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione show that the intracellular accumulation of tetraphenylphosphonium is a function of the pH difference across the plasma membrane, i.e. it depends on the magnitude and direction of the (normally outwardly directed) transmembrane proton concentration gradient. Since the distribution of the lipophilic cation qualitatively monitors changes of the electrical plasma membrane potential of the liver cells, it is concluded that the changes of the tetraphenylphosphonium distribution occurring with changes of the transmembrane pH difference reflect modulations of the cellular membrane potential. Taking into consideration the very low permeability of the liver cell membrane to passive proton movements, it is suggested that the plasma membrane of the liver cells contains an electrogenic proton-translocating mechanism which is accelerated by increasing and is slowed down by decreasing the transmembrane pH difference (pHi less than pHe). 相似文献

The ultrastructure of mitochondria of hepatocytes in normal and pathological conditions was studied. It was shown that the process of regeneration of the ultrastructure of swollen mitochondria with a lucent matrix up to the normal state was completed in hepatocytes of the rat and chick embryos within one day. It was established that one of the ways of intraorganoid regeneration of mitochondria in hepatocytes of chick embryos and of mice after injections of CCl4 twice a week for 5 months was clasmatosis of the destroyed mitochondria fragments and their removal through the partially disintegrated exterior membrane of mitochondria followed by the membrane restoration. The process of mitochondrial regeneration after clasmatosis of its fragments was shown to require two days in the chick embryo hepatocytes. 相似文献

This study deals with isolation of rat hepatocytes by a non-enzymatic method and the separation of intact and damaged cells in sucrose medium. Low speed centrifugation in isotonic sucrose medium of a hepatocyte suspension obtained by mechanical desaggregation of liver pre-perfused with EDTA solution results in the formation of a cell pellet which contains two different layers. A darker layer contains hepatocytes with intact plasma membranes. Their respiratory activity and xenobiotic metabolism are close to those of the cells isolated by collagenase perfusion. The study of distribution of lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) indicates a predominantly mitochondrial localization of TPP+ in the intact cells following non-enzymatic and collagenase isolation. Hepatocytes in the upper layer have damaged plasma membranes. As a result they lose the potential to accumulate TPP+, and have low rates of endogenous respiration and biotransformation activity. Addition of exogenous NADPH restores the capability to metabolize xenobiotics. Washing and incubation of these hepaticytes in an intracellular type medium results in restoration of uncoupler-stimulated oxygen consumption and generation of membrane potential in the presence of a succinate substrate. These properties are close to those of hepatocytes permeabilized by digitonin treatment. Thus, the procedure allows the simultaneous isolation of both intact and permeabilized hepatocytes with functionally active intracellular structures without the use of relatively expensive chemicals such as collagenase and Percoll.Abbreviations 4-OHBP

We show that tetraphenylphosphonium inhibits oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine, pyruvate, malate, 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate in heart mitochondria in the range of concentration (1–5 µM) commonly used for the determination of mitochondrial membrane potential. The inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate (but not other substrate) oxidation by tetraphenylphosphonium is dependent on the concentration of 2-oxoglutarate and on extramitochondrial free calcium, and the kinetic plots are consistent with a mixed type of inhibition. Our results indicate that tetraphenylphosphonium interacts with enzymes, specifically involved in the oxidation of 2-oxoglutarate, most possibly, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsi(m)) plays important roles in the normal function of cells and in pathobiochemical situations. The application of ion-selective electrodes for the measurement of Deltapsi(m) is important for studying normal biological reactions and pathways and mitochondrial diseases. We constructed and optimized a computerized device for real-time monitoring of the Deltapsi(m), which included modification of tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP(+))-selective membrane that improved reproducibility of the TPP(+)-selective electrode. Application of MATLAB software increased the sensitivity of the system. We tested our improved device for membrane potential measurements of isolated mitochondria (in absolute scale of millivolts). In addition, we assessed relative changes of Deltapsi(m) (as changes in TPP(+) concentration) of digitonin-permeabilized cells (hepatocytes, control transmitochondrial cybrids, HeLa G and BSC-40) after addition of substrates, inhibitors, and uncoupler of respiratory chain. Our system can be successfully used for studies of many aspects of the regulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics and as a diagnostic tool for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorders. 相似文献

The energization of rho + and rho degrees isolated mitochondria was measured using a tetraphenylphosphonium selective electrode. In both strains translocase mediated ATP/ADP exchange energization was observed. This energization was more sensitive to uncoupler than that induced by respiration in rho + mitochondria. This observation is in accordance with the hypersensitivity of rho - cell growth to uncoupler. 相似文献

Isolated hepatocytes from hypothyroid, euthyroid and hyperthyroid rats have been employed to investigate the relative importance of reducing-equivalent shuttles for the transfer of hydrogen between cytoplasm and mitochondria during simultaneous ureogenesis and gluconeogenesis. In cells from hypothyroid animals, a 58% depression of glucose formation and 68% reduction in ureogenesis were induced by n-butylmalonate, an inhibitor of the malate shuttle. A more reduced state of the cytoplasmic compartment and a substantial fall in the concentrations of pyruvate, aspartate, alanine and glutamate accompanied this inhibition. Preincubation of cells with n-butylmalonate yielded greater inhibitory effects than observed in the absence of preincubation. The inhibitory effects on gluconeogenesis and ureogenesis were less in cells from euthyroid rats and were very much reduced in the case of glucose synthesis and absent in the case of ureogenesis, in cells from hyperthyroid rats. It is inferred that both the malate-aspartate and alpha-glycerophosphate shuttles may function in the transfer of reducing equivalents from cytoplasm to mitochondria during ureogenesis in hepatocytes. The major inhibition by n-butylmalonate of glucose and urea synthesis in hepatocytes from hypothyroid rats is due to the diminished activity of the alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle in these cells. Moreover, it follows that the NADH arising from the cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase-catalysed reaction is accessible to both the malate-aspartate shuttle and the alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle. 相似文献

The effect of glucagon on hepatic respiratory capacity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Data from numerous laboratories show that mitochondria isolated from livers treated acutely with glucagon have higher rates of state 3 respiration than control mitochondria. The purpose of the present study was to learn whether this phenomenon is an isolation artifact resulting from a stabilization of the mitochondrial membrane or whether it represents a real increase in the maximal respiratory capacity of liver cells due to glucagon treatment. Electron transport was measured through different spans of the electron transport chain by using ferricyanide as an alternate electron acceptor to O2. With isolated intact liver mitochondria, pretreatment with glucagon was found to cause an increase in electron flow, through both Complex I and Complex III, suggesting that the effect of glucagon was not specific for a single site in the electron transport chain. Using intact isolated hepatocytes, different results are obtained. Respiration was measured in isolated hepatocytes after quantitation of the hepatocyte mitochondrial content by assay of citrate synthase. Hepatocyte respiration could therefore be reported per mg of mitochondrial protein. By providing durohydroquinone to the cells, it was possible to measure electron flow from coenzyme Q to O2 in the absence of the physiological regulation of substrate supply. Likewise, the addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone released the in situ mitochondria from control by the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio and it was possible to measure maximal electron flow rates through Complex III. In the presence of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, electron flow was higher in mitochondria in the cell than in isolated mitochondria. Glucagon caused no increase in mitochondrial respiration in situ either in the presence of the physiological substrates or in the presence of durohydroquinone. The data obtained do not support a role for the electron transport chain as a target of glucagon action in hepatocytes. 相似文献

In a previous study (1) we demonstrated that increased tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) uptake by renal epithelial cells (LLC-PK1) exposed to the fungal metabolite cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) was not a result of hyperpolarization across the plasma membrane even though CPA-potentiated TPP uptake could be totally inhibited by the depolarizing agent carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). We now demonstrate that CPA potentiates TPP accumulation by proliferating skeletal muscle (L6) and LLC-PK1 cells but not by nonproliferating primary rat hepatocytes. In LLC-PK1 cells, CPA-potentiated TPP accumulation is observed in cells at all ages. In s cells, CPA-potentiated TPP accumulation is maximal soon after subculturing, and as the cells age they become less sensitive to CPA until TPP accumulation by CPA-treated cells approaches that of untreated cells. The temporal change in sensitivity of L6 cells to CPA may be related to biochemical and/or metabolic changes which occur as the cells age in culture. Hepatocytes, LLC-PK1 cells, and L6 cells permeabilized by freeze-thaw lysis, all exhibit CPA-potentiated TPP partitioning, even in the presence of CCCP. This result indicates that both TPP and CPA must have access to the intracellular space in order for potentiated TPP partitioning to be observed. We hypothesize that the site of interaction between CPA and TPP is intracellular and probably associated with the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane and possibly the mitochondria. 相似文献

Cell swelling is now admitted as being a new principle of metabolic control but little is known about the energetics of cell swelling. We have studied the influence of hypo- or hyperosmolarity on both isolated hepatocytes and isolated rat liver mitochondria. Cytosolic hypoosmolarity on isolated hepatocytes induces an increase in matricial volume and does not affect the myxothiazol sensitive respiratory rate while the absolute value of the overall thermodynamic driving force over the electron transport chain increases. This points to an increase in kinetic control upstream the respiratory chain when cytosolic osmolarity is decreased. On isolated rat liver mitochondria incubated in hypoosmotic potassium chloride media, energetic parameters vary as in cells and oxidative phosphorylation efficiency is not affected. Cytosolic hyperosmolarity induced by sodium co-transported amino acids, per se, does not affect either matrix volume or energetic parameters. This is not the case in isolated rat liver mitochondria incubated in sucrose hyperosmotic medium. Indeed, in this medium, adenine nucleotide carrier is inhibited as the external osmolarity increases, which lowers the state 3 respiration close to state 4 level and consequently leads to a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation efficiency. When isolated rat liver mitochondria are incubated in KCl hyperosmotic medium, state 3 respiratory rate, matrix volume and membrane electrical potential vary as a function of time. Indeed, matrix volume is recovered in hyperosmotic KCl medium and this recovery is dependent on Pi-Kentry. State 3 respiratory rate increases and membrane electrical potential difference decreases during the first minutes of mitochondrial incubation until the attainment of the same value as in isoosmotic medium. This shows that matrix volume, flux and force are regulated as a function of time in KCl hyperosmotic medium. Under steady state, neither matrix volume nor energetic parameters are affected. Moreover, NaCl hyperosmotic medium allows matrix volume recovery but induces a decrease in state 3 respiratory flux. This indicates that potassium is necessary for both matrix volume and flux recovery in isolated mitochondria. We conclude that hypoosmotic medium induces an increase in kinetic control both upstream and on the respiratory chain and changes the oxidative phosphorylation response to forces. At steady state, hyperosmolarity, per se, has no effect on oxidative phosphorylation in either isolated hepatocytes or isolated mitochondria incubated in KCl medium. Therefore, potassium plays a key role in matrix volume, flux and force regulation. 相似文献

Some aldehydes, produced during lipid peroxidation of liver lipids, are able to inhibit the respiration of mitochondria and of intact cells both in normal hepatocytes and in Yoshida hepatoma. In mitochondria, the respiratory stimulation produced by addition of ADP and dinitrophenol is decreased more in hepatoma than in normal liver. Two- to four-fold higher concentrations of aldehydes are needed to obtain the same degree of inhibition in normal liver mitochondria as in tumorous organs. The effect of aldehydes on intact cell respiration is absent or very low in hepatocytes, but it is consistently observed in hepatoma cells. 相似文献

The lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) has been extensively utilized as the probe for the membrane potential (Vm) in various cells. For application to mammalian cells, however, two serious problems require resolution: (1), correction of TPP+ binding to intracellular constituents and (2), estimation of the considerable TPP+ accumulation in mitochondria. We propose here a simple corrective method for the TPP+ binding and its accumulation. TPP+ distribution is assumed as: (1), two compartments (a cytosolic and a mitochondrial space); (2), a proportional relationship between TPP+ bound amount and its unbound concentration in each compartment. We theoretically derived the simple equation: Vm = - RT/F ln(C/Mphys ratio/C/Mabol ratio) where R, T and F have their usual thermodynamic significance. Here, the C/M ratio is defined as the ratio of TPP+ concentration of apparent intracellular to extracellular space. The suffixes phys and abol, respectively, mean the physiological and solely Vm-abolished conditions. This equation was checked with hepatocytes, because estimating hepatocytes Vm with TPP+ distribution is not considered possible because of the relatively high mitochondrial content. The selective Vm abolition was achieved by permeabilization with 20 microM of amphotericin B. The Vm value was, thus, estimated to be -38.6 +/- 0.3 mV, compatible with those obtained with microelectrodes in other laboratories. Vm in hepatocytes is composed of transmembrane K+ diffusion potential (-20.6 +/- 0.3 mV) and electrogenic Na+/K(+)-ATPase (-19.6 +/- 0.4 mV). Addition of rheogenic L-alanine caused a transient but significant depolarization (from control to -34 +/- 0.3 mV). These results taken together indicate that hepatocyte Vm can be accurately determined with the present simple method, so that it may possibly be applicable to the evaluation of Vm in other mammalian cells. 相似文献

Conditions are described that allow chlortetracycline, a fluorescent probe of membrane-associated Ca2+, to monitor the content of the major exchangeable pool of intracellular Ca2+ present in the isolated rat hepatocyte. Chlortetracycline fluorescence is decreased in cells whose Ca2+ content is diminished by treatment either with carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone or with ionophore A23187. Norepinephrine releases Ca2+ from this exchangeable pool and decreases both the fluorescence signal and its subsequent response to A23187. Previous suggestions that chlortetracycline fluorescence is localized in the mitochondria of liver and other cells is supported by comparison of the fluorescence that follows the addition of chlortetracycline to intact hepatocytes and to isolated hepatic microsomes and mitochondria. Identification of the hormone-responsive pool of Ca2+ with the mitochondria is strengthened by comparison of the total calcium content of mitochondria isolated from control and hormone-treated animals. The uptake and release of Ca2+ in control and hormone-treated hepatocytes rendered permeable by treatment with digitonin is also consistent with this interpretation. 相似文献

Presumptive evidence suggests that the brown fat mitochondrial uncoupling protein, thermogenin, is involved in the mechanism of stimulation of respiration by norepinephrine in the intact tissue. Conflicting data have been reported which suggest involvement of either adenine nucleotides, or fatty acids, or long chain acyl-CoA, or protons in the physiological regulation. We measured the electrical potential gradient across the mitochondrial membrane (delta psi m) in control cells and in cells stimulated with norepinephrine, using the accumulation of lipophilic cation, tetraphenylphosphonium, as an indicator of the potential gradient. The value of delta psi m in the cells in the control state is 116 mV, and in the hormonally stimulated state it is 56.6 mV. This supports the view that the protein is involved in the mechanism of hormone action. Other studies were designed to distinguish between the effects of fatty acids and ATP levels on the uncoupling protein in isolated mitochondria and in the adipocytes. ATP levels and fatty acid levels inside intact cells were independently varied using oligomycin or external fatty acids. Their effect on thermogenin was monitored as the capacity of the cells for reverse electron transport from durohydroquinone. The results suggest that ATP modulates the activity of thermogenin, while fatty acids can alter the relationship between ATP and thermogenin activity such that the protein appears to be activated at a higher cellular ATP level in the presence of fatty acids than in their absence. 相似文献

Alterations in intracellular calcium compartmentation following inhibition of calcium efflux from isolated hepatocytes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Addition of ATP to the incubation medium of freshly isolated rat hepatocytes causes a marked inhibition of the efflux of Ca2+ from the cells, and its accumulation in intracellular compartments. After an initial rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, as indicated by the activation of phosphorylase, Ca2+ is preferentially sequestered in the mitochondria, without any apparent contribution by the endoplasmic reticulum. Impairment of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis by pyridine nucleotide oxidation associated with tert-butyl hydroperoxide metabolism, prevents the ATP-dependent cellular Ca2+ accumulation and causes a release of Ca2+ from the hepatocytes into the medium. Conversely, maintenance of the mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides in a more reduced state, e. g. in presence of 3-hydroxybutyrate in the medium, prevents this hydroperoxide-induced release of intracellular Ca2+. Under conditions of impaired mitochondrial Ca2+ sequestration, there appears to be a redistribution of a minor fraction of the intracellular Ca2+ from the mitochondria to the endoplasmic reticulum. Our results provide additional evidence for the critical involvement of the plasma membrane Ca2+-extruding system in the physiological regulation of the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration in hepatocytes, and suggest that the mitochondria play a more important role than the endoplasmic reticulum in the regulation of the cytosolic free Ca2+ level when the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump is inhibited. 相似文献

The subcellular localization of ferritin and its iron taken up by rat hepatocytes was investigated by sucrose-density-gradient ultracentrifugation of cell homogenates. After incubation of hepatocytes with 125I-labelled [59Fe]ferritin, cells incorporate most of the labels into structures equilibrating at densities where acid phosphatase and cytochrome c oxidase are found, suggesting association of ferritin and its iron with lysosomes or mitochondria. Specific solubilization of lysosomes by digitonin treatment indicates that, after 8 h incubation, most of the 125I is recovered in lysosomes, whereas 59Fe is found in mitochondria as well as in lysosomes. As evidenced by gel chromatography of supernatant fractions, 59Fe accumulates with time in cytosolic ferritin. To account for these results a model is proposed in which ferritin, after being endocytosed by hepatocytes, is degraded in lysosomes, and its iron is released and re-incorporated into cytosolic ferritin and, to a lesser extent, into mitochondria. 相似文献

Discrimination of depolarized from polarized mitochondria by confocal fluorescence resonance energy transfer 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Mitochondrial depolarization promotes apoptotic and necrotic cell death and possibly other cellular events. Polarized mitochondria take up cationic tetramethylrhodamine methylester (TMRM), which is released after depolarization. Thus, TMRM does not label depolarized mitochondria. To identify both polarized and depolarized mitochondria in living cells, cultured rat hepatocytes, and sinusoidal endothelial cells were co-loaded with green-fluorescing MitoTracker Green FM (MTG) and red-fluorescing TMRM for imaging by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Like TMRM, MTG is a cationic fluorophore that accumulates electrophoretically into polarized mitochondria. Unlike TMRM, MTG binds covalently to intramitochondrial protein thiols and remains bound after depolarization. In cells labeled only with MTG, excitation with blue (488 nm) light yielded green but almost no red fluorescence. After subsequent loading with TMRM, green MTG fluorescence became quenched. Instead, blue excitation yielded red fluorescence. Mitochondrial de-energization restored green fluorescence and abolished red fluorescence. Conversely, when MTG was added to TMRM-labeled cells, red fluorescence excited by blue light was enhanced, an effect again reversed by de-energization. These observations of reversible quenching of donor fluorescence and augmentation of acceptor fluorescence signify fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In undisturbed hepatocytes, spontaneous depolarization of a subfraction of mitochondria was an ongoing phenomenon. In conclusion, confocal FRET discriminates individual depolarized mitochondria against a background of hundreds of polarized mitochondria. 相似文献

Quantitative changes of DNA synthesis in the hepatocytes of aging mice were studied by electron microscopic radioautography. Ultrastructural changes of labelled and unlabelled hepatocytes were estimated quantitatively by the image analysis. The results revealed that at various ages, the area of the cytoplasm and nuclei of labelled hepatocytes were more than those of the unlabelled cells. No significant changes were observed in the nucleoli. The area of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were less in the labelled hepatocytes than in the unlabelled hepatocytes. The number of the mitochondria was less in the labelled hepatocytes than in the unlabelled hepatocytes. The cell organelles of the hepatocytes that were synthesizing DNA were not well developed, as compared to those not synthesizing DNA during the postnatal development. 相似文献

To examine ryanodine‐sensitive Ca2+ channels in mitochondria of rat hepatocytes and their role in energy state of the cells via investigation of the ryanodine effect on mitochondrial membrane potential. Oxygen consumption was measured by polarography using the Clark electrode. The substrates of oxidation such as pyruvate (5mM), α‐ketoglutarate (5mM), or succinate (5mM) were used. Oxidative phosphorylation was stimulated by the addition of adenosine diphosphate (200nM). Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using a voltage‐sensitive fluorescent probe tetramethylrhodamine‐methyl‐ester (0.1μM) and was analyzed by a flow cytometer. To evaluate the intact mitochondria, we used carbonil cyanide m‐chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP, 10μM). Changes in the ionized calcium concentration in rat liver mitochondria were measured using a fluorescent probe Fluo‐4 AM. Effect of ryanodine on oxygen consumption of rat liver mitochondria depends on the oxidation substrate and the incubation time. Oxidation of pyruvate in the presence of ryanodine (0.05μM) decreased the membrane potential of rat liver mitochondria by 38.4%. At higher concentrations, ryanodine (0.1μM or 1μM) led to decrease of membrane potential by 51.7% and 42.8%, respectively. In contrast, oxidation of α‐ketoglutarate in the presence of ryanodine (0.05μM) increased mitochondrial membrane potential by 16.8%. However, at higher concentrations, ryanodine (0.1μM or 1μM) triggered a decreasing of membrane potential by 42.5% and 31.0%, respectively. Therefore, ryanodine at various concentrations (0.05μM, 0.1μM, or 1μM) causes differential effects on Ca2+ concentration in the mitochondria matrix under oxidation of pyruvate or α‐ketoglutarate. The data suggest the presence of ryanodine receptors in mitochondrial membrane of rat hepatocytes. Their inhibition with higher concentrations of ryanodine leads to decreasing of intra‐mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration and affecting the energy state of mictochondria in hepatocytes. 相似文献
