Abstract

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in aging and many common diseases. Mitochondria are a primary source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell, and are particularly susceptible to oxidative damage. Oxidative damage to mitochondria results in mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), mitochondrial depolarization, further ROS production, swelling, and release of cytochrome c (cyt c). Cytosolic cyt c triggers apoptosis by activating the caspase cascade. In the present work, we examined the ability of a novel cell-penetrating, mitochondria-targeted peptide antioxidant in protecting against oxidant-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in two neuronal cell lines. Treatment with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) for 24 h resulted in lipid peroxidation and significant cell death via apoptosis in both N2A and SH-SY5Y cells, with phosphatidylserine translocation, nuclear condensation and increased caspase activity. Cells treated with tBHP showed significant increase in intracellular ROS, mitochondrial depolarization and reduced mitochondrial viability. Concurrent treatment with <1 nM SS-31 (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2; Dmt = 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine) significantly decreased intracellular ROS, increased mitochondrial potential, and prevented tBHP-induced apoptosis. The remarkable potency of SS-31 can be explained by its extensive cellular uptake and selective partitioning into mitochondria. Intracellular concentrations of [3H]SS-31 were 6-fold higher than extracellular concentrations. Studies using isolated mitochondria revealed that [3H]SS-31 was concentrated approximately 5000-fold in the mitochondrial pellet. By concentrating in the inner mitochondrial membrane, SS-31 is localized to the site of ROS production, and can therefore protect against mitochondrial oxidative damage and further ROS production. SS-31 represents a novel platform of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants with broad therapeutic potential.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
