Apoptosis And Necrosis

Cyclophilin-D is a peptidylprolyl cis–trans isomerase of the mitochondrial matrix. It is involved in mitochondrial permeability transition, in which the adenine nucleotide translocase of the inner membrane is transformed from an antiporter to a non-selective pore. The permeability transition has been widely considered as a mechanism in both apoptosis and necrosis. The present study examines the effects of cyclophilin-D on the permeability transition and lethal cell injury, using a neuronal (B50) cell line stably overexpressing cyclophilin-D in mitochondria. Cyclophilin-D overexpression rendered isolated mitochondria far more susceptible to the permeability transition induced by Ca2+ and oxidative stress. Similarly, cyclophilin-D overexpression brought forward the onset of the permeability transition in intact cells subjected to oxidative stress. In addition, in the absence of stress, the mitochondria of cells overexpressing cyclophilin-D maintained a lower inner-membrane potential than those of normal cells. All these effects of cyclophilin-D overexpression were abolished by cyclosporin A. It is concluded that cyclophilin-D promotes the permeability transition in B50 cells. However, cyclophilin-D overexpression had opposite effects on apoptosis and necrosis; whereas NO-induced necrosis was promoted, NO- and staurosporine-induced apoptosis were inhibited. These findings indicate that the permeability transition leads to cell necrosis, but argue against its involvement in apoptosis.

New Findings

Metformin, a drug widely used in the treatment of Type II diabetes, has recently received attention owing to new findings regarding its mitochondrial and cellular effects. In the present study, the effects of metformin on respiration, complex 1 activity, mitochondrial permeability transition, cytochrome c release and cell death were investigated in cultured cells from a human carcinoma-derived cell line (KB cells). Metformin significantly decreased respiration both in intact cells and after permeabilization. This was due to a mild and specific inhibition of the respiratory chain complex 1. In addition, metformin prevented to a significant extent mitochondrial permeability transition both in permeabilized cells, as induced by calcium, and in intact cells, as induced by the glutathione-oxidizing agent t-butyl hydroperoxide. This effect was equivalent to that of cyclosporin A, the reference inhibitor. Finally, metformin impaired the t-butyl hydroperoxide-induced cell death, as judged by Trypan Blue exclusion, propidium iodide staining and cytochrome c release. We propose that metformin prevents the permeability transition-related commitment to cell death in relation to its mild inhibitory effect on complex 1, which is responsible for a decreased probability of mitochondrial permeability transition.

Although resveratrol has been demonstrated to be cardioprotective, the detailed cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate the protection remain elusive. We aimed to determine if resveratrol protects the heart at reperfusion by modulating the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening through glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β). Resveratrol (10μM) given at reperfusion reduced infarct size (12.2 ± 2.5 % of risk zone vs. 37.9 ± 3.1 % of risk zone in control, n = 6) in isolated rat hearts subjected to 30 min regional ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion, an effect that was abrogated by the mPTP opener atractyloside (30.9 ± 8.1 % of risk zone), implying that resveratrol may protect the heart at reperfusion by modulating the mPTP opening. To define the signaling mechanism underlying the action of resveratrol, we determined GSK-3β activity by measuring its phosphorylation at Ser 9 . Resveratrol significantly enhanced GSK-3β phosphorylation upon reperfusion (225.2 ± 30.0 % of control at 5 min of reperfusion). Further experiments showed that resveratrol induces translocation of GSK-3β to mitochondria and translocated GSK-3β interacts with the mPTP component cyclophilin D but not VDAC (the voltage-dependent anion channel) or ANT (the adenine nucleotide translocator) in cardiac mitochondria. Taken together, these data suggest that resveratrol prevents myocardial reperfusion injury by targeting the mPTP opening via GSK-3β. Translocation of GSK-3β to mitochondria and its interaction with the mPTP component cyclophilin D may serve as an essential mechanism that mediates the protective effect of resveratrol on reperfusion injury.

Cardioprotective effects of anesthetic preconditioning and cyclosporine A (CsA) are lost with aging. To extend our previous work and address a possible mechanism underlying age-related differences, we investigated the role of oxidative stress in the aging heart by treating senescent animals with the oxygen free radical scavenger Tempol. Old male Fischer 344 rats (22–24 mo) were randomly assigned to control or Tempol treatment groups for 2 or 4 wk (T×2wk and T×4wk, respectively). Rats received isoflurane 30 min before ischemia-reperfusion injury or CsA just before reperfusion. Myocardial infarction sizes were significantly reduced by isoflurane or CsA in the aged rats treated with Tempol (T×4wk) compared with old control rats. In other experiments, young (4–6 mo) and old rats underwent either chronic Tempol or vehicle treatment, and the levels of myocardial protein oxidative damage, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, cyclophilin D protein, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening times were measured. T×4wk significantly increased MnSOD enzyme activity, GSH-to-GSSH ratios, MnSOD protein level, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake capacity, reduced protein nitrotyrosine levels, and normalized cyclophilin D protein expression in the aged rat heart. T×4wk also significantly prolonged mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening times induced by reactive oxygen species in old cardiomyocytes. Our studies demonstrate that 4 wk of Tempol pretreatment restores anesthetic preconditioning and cardioprotection by CsA in the old rat and that this is associated with decreased oxidative stress and improved mitochondrial function. Our results point to a new protective strategy for the ischemic myocardium in the high-risk older population.
