Reverse electron flow-induced ROS production is attenuated by activation of mitochondrial Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels
Abstract
Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent on substrate conditions, O 2 concentration, redox state, and activity of the mitochondrial complexes. It is well known that the FADH 2-linked substrate succinate induces reverse electron flow to complex I of the electron transport chain and that this process generates superoxide (O 2•−); these effects are blocked by the complex I blocker rotenone. We demonstrated recently that succinate + rotenone-dependent H 2 O 2 production in isolated mitochondria increased mildly on activation of the putative big mitochondrial Ca 2+-sensitive K+ channel (mtBK Ca) by low concentrations of 1,3-dihydro-1-[2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2 H-benzimidazol-2-one (NS-1619). In the present study we examined effects of NS-1619 on mitochondrial O 2 consumption, membrane potential (ΔΨ m), H 2 O 2 release rates, and redox state in isolated guinea pig heart mitochondria respiring on succinate but without rotenone. NS-1619 (30 μM) increased state 2 and state 4 respiration by 26 ± 4% and 14 ± 4%, respectively; this increase was abolished by the BK Ca channel blocker paxilline (5 μM). Paxilline alone had no effect on respiration. NS-1619 did not alter ΔΨ m or redox state but decreased H 2 O 2 production by 73% vs. control; this effect was incompletely inhibited by paxilline. We conclude that under substrate conditions that allow reverse electron flow, matrix K+ influx through mtBK Ca channels reduces mitochondrial H 2 O 2 production by accelerating forward electron flow. Our prior study showed that NS-1619 induced an increase in H 2 O 2 production with blocked reverse electron flow. The present results suggest that NS-1619-induced matrix K+ influx increases forward electron flow despite the high reverse electron flow, and emphasize the importance of substrate conditions on interpretation of effects on mitochondrial bioenergetics.

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.
