We compared action of Cd(2+), Hg(2+), and Cu(2+) on isolated rat liver mitochondria in the absence of added Ca(2+) and P(i). The heavy-metal ions produced dose-dependently: (1) enhanced membrane permeabilization manifested in mitochondrial swelling and activation of basal respiration, (2) inhibition of uncoupler-stimulated respiration, and (3) membrane potential dissipation. Among the metals, Cu(2+) exhibited maximal stimulatory effect on basal respiration and minimal inhibitory action on DNP-uncoupled respiration whilst Cd(2+) promoted the strongest depression of uncoupled respiration and the largest swelling in NH(4)NO(3) medium. Dithiothreitol induced a basal respiration release if added after high [Cd(2+)] and [Hg(2+)], and the stimulation was CsA-insensitive.

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) is a membrane protein complex assembled and opened in response to Ca2+ and oxidants such as peroxynitrite (ONOO–). Opening the PTP is mechanistically linked to the release of cytochrome c, which participates in downstream apoptotic signaling. However, the molecular basis of the synergistic interactions between oxidants and Ca2+ in promoting the PTP are poorly understood and are addressed in the present study. In isolated rat liver mitochondria, it was found that the timing of the exposure of the isolated rat liver mitochondria to Ca2+ was a critical factor in determining the impact of ONOO– on PTP. Specifically, addition of Ca2+ alone, or ONOO– and then Ca2+, elicited similar low levels of PTP opening, whereas ONOO– alone was ineffective. In contrast, addition of Ca2+ and then ONOO– induced extensive PTP opening and cytochrome c release. Interestingly, Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase enhanced pore opening through a mechanism independent of its catalytic activity. These data are consistent with a model in which Ca2+ reveals a molecular target that is now reactive with ONOO–. As a test of this hypothesis, tyrosine nitration was determined in mitochondria exposed to ONOO– alone or to Ca2+ and then ONOO–, and mitochondrial membrane proteins were analyzed using proteomics. These studies suggest protein targets revealed by Ca2+ include dehydrogenases and CoA-containing enzymes. These data are discussed in the context of the role of mitochondria, Ca2+, and ONOO– in apoptotic signaling.
