The permeability properties of a putative Ca2(+)-activated pore in heart mitochondria, of possible relevance to re-perfusion-induced injury, have been investigated by a pulsed-flow solute-entrapment technique. The relative permeabilities of [14C]mannitol, [14C]sucrose and arsenazo III are consistent with permeation via a pore of about 2.3 nm diameter. Ca2+ removal with EGTA induced pore closure, and the mitochondria became ‘resealed’. The permeability of the unresealed mitochondria during resealing was markedly stimulated by 200 microM-ADP, and the relative permeabilities to solutes of different size were stimulated equally, indicating an increase in open-pore number, rather than an increase in pore dimensions. This is paradoxical, since ADP also stimulated the rate of resealing. The rate of EGTA-induced resealing was also stimulated by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187, which indicates that the rate of removal of matrix free Ca2+ is limiting for pore closure. An explanation for the paradox is suggested in which ADP facilitates pore interconversion between the closed and open states in permeabilized mitochondria, and pore closure in Ca2(+)-free mitochondria occurs much faster than previously thought.

AbstractPropranolol and atenolol are known as β receptor blocker drugs. These drugs are used to treat some heart diseases. There are controversies in the relationship between the use of beta-blocker drugs and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria as one of the most important sources of ROS are considered as one of the targets of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of propranolol and atenolol on mitochondria isolated from the heart. To achieve this aim, several markers of mitochondrial and cellular toxicity were evaluated. The key results of this study are the increased ROS level, collapse in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial swelling and cytochrome c release as well as disruption of respiratory chain complex II in mitochondria in isolated heart mitochondria after exposure to propranolol and atenolol. The results indicate an increase in caspase-3 activity and a decrease in the ATP level in cardiomyocytes after exposure to propranolol and atenolol. The underlying mechanisms of propranolol and atenolol induced cardiotoxicity may be associated with alterations in mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and changes in the mitochondrial membrane.

The proportion of active, dephosphorylated, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was decreased in the mouse heart by obesity (by 56%), and this decrease in enzyme activity persisted during preparation and extraction of heart mitochondria. Phosphorylation and inactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase may be a major factor in mediating the inhibitory effects of obesity on glucose oxidation in muscle, and this may represent an important mechanism in the development and/or expression of cellular insulin-resistance.
