The effect of methylglyoxal on the oxygen consumption of mitochondria of both normal and leukaemic leucocytes was tested by using different respiratory substrates and complex specific artificial electron donors and inhibitors. The results indicate that methylglyoxal strongly inhibits mitochondrial respiration in leukaemic leucocytes, whereas, at a much higher concentration, methylglyoxal fails to inhibit mitochondrial respiration in normal leucocytes. Methylglyoxal strongly inhibits ADP-stimulated α-oxoglutarate and malate plus NAD+-dependent respiration, whereas, at a higher concentration, methylglyoxal fails to inhibit succinate and α-glycerophosphate-dependent respiration. Methylglyoxal also fails to inhibit respiration which is initiated by duroquinone and cannot inhibit oxygen consumption when the N,N,N´,N´-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine by-pass is used. NADH oxidation by sub-mitochondrial particles of leukaemic leucocytes is also inhibited by methylglyoxal. Lactaldehyde, a catabolite of methylglyoxal, can exert a protective effect on the inhibition of leukaemic leucocyte mitochondrial respiration by methylglyoxal. Methylglyoxal also inhibits l-lactic acid formation by intact leukaemic leucocytes and critically reduces the ATP level of these cells, whereas methylglyoxal has no effect on normal leucocytes. We conclude that methylglyoxal inhibits glycolysis and the electron flow through mitochondrial complex I of leukaemic leucocytes. This is strikingly similar to our previous studies on mitochondrial respiration, glycolysis and ATP levels in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells [Ray, Dutta, Halder and Ray (1994) Biochem. J. 303, 69–72; Halder, Ray and Ray (1993) Int. J. Cancer 54, 443–449], which strongly suggests that the inhibition of electron flow through complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and inhibition of glycolysis by methylglyoxal may be common characteristics of all malignant cells.

A number of incubation media which have been used in studies of the metabolism of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells in vitro have been examined with respect to their abilities to support the incorporation of radioactive precursors into nucleotides and nucleic acids, and to maintain the structural integrity and tumor-inducing abilities of EAC cells. Cells incubated in the chemically-defined "Fischer's medium for leukemic cells of mice" were able to produce lethal tumors in mice after more than 16 h of incubation, maintained their structural integrity on prolonged incubation, and catalyzed high rates of incorporation of exogenously added substrates into nucleotides, RNA, and DNA. However, cells incubated in balanced salts solutions supplemented with glucose had these characteristics: (a) were unable to produce lethal tumors after 4 h of incubation, (b) released large amounts of nucleotide, nucleic acid, and protein material into the medium after less than 2 h of incubation, and (c) catalyzed the incorporation of radioactive precursors into nucleotides and RNA at much lower rates than did cells incubated in Fischer's medium, and were virtually unable to catalyze the incorporation of adenine-14C into DNA.
