AbstractNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like naproxen, diclofenac and celecoxib used to reduce pain. Many of these drugs have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The molecular mechanism(s) by which NSAIDs induce CVD up to now is unknown. We investigated the effects of naproxen, diclofenac and celecoxib with different structures and mechanism action on isolated rat heart mitochondria. All tested NSAIDs increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial membrane collapse (MMP), mitochondrial swelling, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione and ATP depletion, which all of them play important roles in developing cardiotoxicity. We reported that mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore sealing agents and antioxidants have the capacity to significantly prevent mitochondrial toxicity. Therefore, the inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by MPT pore sealing agents and antioxidants can double confirm NSAID-induced cardiomyocytes toxicity is resulted from induction of apoptosis signaling trough ROS-mediated mitochondrial permeability transition.

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in the mechanisms of cardiac toxicity induced by aluminum phosphide (AlP). AlP-induced cardiotoxicity leads to cardiomyocyte death, cardiomyopathy, cardiac dysfunction, and eventually severe heart failure and death. Importantly, protecting cardiomyocytes from death resulting from AlP is vital for improving survival. It has been reported that flavonoids such as myricetin (Myr) act as modifiers of mitochondrial function and prevent mitochondrial damage resulting from many insults and subsequent cell dysfunction. In this study, the ameliorative effect of Myr, as an important antioxidant and mitochondrial protective agent, was investigated in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria isolated from rat heart against AlP-induced toxicity, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Treatment of AlP (20 μg/ml) significantly increased cytotoxicity; reduced glutathione (GSH) depletion, cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, ATP depletion, caspase-3 activation, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) collapse, and lysosomal dysfunction; and decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in intact cardiomyocytes. Also, treatment of AlP (20 μg/ml) significantly increased mitochondrial dysfunction and swelling in isolated mitochondria. Myr (80 µM) appeared to ameliorate AlP-induced cytotoxicity in isolated cardiomyocytes; significantly lessened the AlP-stimulated intracellular ROS and MDA production and depletion of GSH; and increased the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px. Furthermore, Myr (40 and 80 µM) lowered AlP-induced lysosomal/mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP depletion, and caspase-3 activation. In the light of these findings, we concluded that Myr through antioxidant potential and inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore exerted an ameliorative role in AlP-induced toxicity in isolated cardiomyocytes and mitochondria, and it would be valuable to examine its in vivo effects.

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.

Mitochondrial-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis play a crucial role in neurodegenerative disease and aging. Both mitochondrial permeability transition (PT) and swelling of mitochondria have been involved in neurodegeneration. Indeed, knockout mice for cyclophilin-D (Cyc-D), a key regulatory component of the PT pore (PTP) that triggers mitochondrial swelling, resulted to be protected in preclinical models of multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, how neuronal stress is transduced into mitochondrial oxidative stress and swelling is unclear. Recently, the aging determinant p66Shc that generates H2O2reacting with cytochrome c and induces oxidation of PTP and mitochondrial swelling was found to be involved in MS and ALS. To investigate the role of p66Shc/PTP pathway in neurodegeneration, we performed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) experiments in p66Shc knockout mice (p66Shc−/−), knock out mice for cyclophilin-D (Cyc-D−/−), and p66Shc Cyc-D double knock out (p66Shc/Cyc-D−/−) mice. Results confirm that deletion of p66Shc protects from EAE without affecting immune response, whereas it is not epistatic to the Cyc-D mutation. These findings demonstrate that p66Shc contributes to EAE induced neuronal damage most likely through the opening of PTP suggesting that p66Shc/PTP pathway transduces neurodegenerative stresses.
