Mitochondrial permeability transition, due to opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP), is triggered by Ca2+ in conjunction with an inducing agent such as phosphate. However, incubation of rat liver mitochondria in the presence of low micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ and millimolar concentrations of phosphate is known to also cause net efflux of matrix adenine nucleotides via the ATP-Mg/Pi carrier. This raises the possibility that adenine nucleotide depletion through this mechanism contributes to mitochondrial permeability transition. Results of this study show that phosphate-induced opening of the mitochondrial PTP is, at least in part, secondary to depletion of the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide content via the ATP-Mg/Pi carrier. Delaying net adenine nucleotide efflux from mitochondria also delays the onset of phosphate-induced PTP opening. Moreover, mitochondria that are depleted of matrix adenine nucleotides via the ATP-Mg/Pi carrier show highly increased susceptibility to swelling induced by high Ca2+ concentration, atractyloside, and the prooxidant tert-butylhydroperoxide. Thus the ATPMg/Pi carrier, by regulating the matrix adenine nucleotide content, can modulate the sensitivity of rat liver mitochondria to undergo permeability transition. This has important implications for hepatocytes under cellular conditions in which the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide pool size is depleted, such as in hypoxia or ischemia, or during reperfusion when the mitochondria are exposed to increased oxidative stress.

Abstract Background We recently reported that upregulated AMP deaminase (AMPD), via reduction in the tissue adenine nucleotide pool, contributes to exacerbation of diastolic dysfunction under pressure overload in OLETF, a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Upregulated AMPD also possibly promotes xanthine oxidase (XO)-mediated ROS production, since AMPD deaminases AMP to IMP, which is further converted to inosine, providing substrates of XO, hypoxanthine and xanthine. Here, we examined the hypothesis that inhibition of XO ameliorates the pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction by suppression of ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and/or vascular dysfunction in T2DM rats. Methods and results Metabolomic analyses revealed that levels of xanthine and uric acid in the LV myocardium were significantly higher by 37% and 51%, respectively, in OLETF than in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, under the condition of phenylephrine-induced pressure overloading (200–230 mmHg). Myocardial XO activity in OLETF was 57.9% higher than that in LETO, which may be attributed to 31% higher level of inosine, a positive regulator of XO, in OLETF than in LETO. The activity of XO was significantly attenuated by administration of topiroxostat, an XO inhibitor at 0.5 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Pressure volume loop analyses showed that the pressure overloading resulted in significantly higher LVEDP in OLETF than in LETO (18.3±1.5 vs. 12.2±1.3 mmHg, p<0.05, n=7), though LVEDPs at baseline were comparable in OLETF and LETO (5.6±0.4 vs. 4.7±0.7 mmHg). Treatment with topiroxostat significantly suppressed the pressure overload-induced elevation of LVEDP in OLETF (18.3±1.5 vs. 11.3±1.1 mmHg, p<0.05) but not in LETO. Under the condition of pressure overloading, Ea/Ees, an index for ventricular-arterial coupling, was higher in OLETF than in LETO (2.3±0.3 vs. 1.6±0.3, p<0.05), and it was also improved by topiroxostat in OLETF (1.2±0.2, p<0.05). Myocardial ATP content was lower in OLETF than in LETO (2966±400 vs. 1818±171 nmol/g wet tissue, p<0.05), and treatment with topiroxostat significantly restored the ATP level (2629±307 nmol/g wet tissue). The LV myocardium of OLETF under pressure overload showed significantly higher level of malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, than that of LETO. Measurement of oxygen consumption rate by Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer in mitochondria isolated from LV tissues revealed that state 3 respiration was significantly suppressed in OLETF by 43% compared to LETO, and it was restored by treatment with topiroxostat. Conclusion Both activity and substrates of XO are increased in T2DM hearts, in which upregulation of AMPD may play a role. Inhibition of XO ameliorates pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction and improves ventricular-arterial coupling in diabetic hearts, most likely through protection of mitochondrial function from ROS-mediated injury.

It is proposed that the purine nucleotide cycle and glutamine oxidation play a key role in the adaptation of tumour energetics to the transition from the anaerobic to the aerobic state. In support of this proposal, it was found that glutamine and inosine markedly increase total adenylates in the presence of oxygen, whereas the addition of hadacidin abolishes this effect. Transition of the cells from the anaerobic to the aerobic state, and vice versa, in the presence of glutamine plus inosine revealed that there are two components of the adenine nucleotide pool, one which is stable and the other which is variable and responds to the aerobic-anaerobic transition. This part of the pool undergoes degradation or resynthesis owing to activation of the enzymes of the purine nucleotide cycle. Resynthesis of the pool is accompanied by substantial net utilization of aspartate, which is produced by glutamine oxidation. This is supported by the experiments in which the cells were alternately incubated with nitrogen or oxygen, demonstrating that hadacidin significantly decreased utilization of aspartate and regeneration of ATP owing to inhibition of adenylosuccinate synthase.

The effect of the local anaesthetic, butacaine, on adenine nucleotide binding and translocation in rat liver mitochondria partially depleted of their adenine nucleotide content was investigated. The range of butacaine concentrations that inhibit adenine nucleotide translocation and the extent of the inhibition are similar to the values obtained for native mitochondria. Butacaine does not alter either the total number of atractyloside-sensitive binding sites of depleted mitochondria, or the affinity of these sites for ADP or ATP under conditions where a partial inhibition of the rate of adenine nucleotide translocation is observed. The data are consistent with an effect of butacaine on the process by which adenine nucleotides are transported across the mitochondrial inner membrane rather than on the binding of adenine nucleotides to sites on the adenine nucleotide carrier. The results are briefly discussed in relation to the use of local anaesthetics in investigations of the mechanism of adenine nucleotide translocation.
