Abstract

Heart mitochondria from heterozygous ( Sod2−/+) knockout mice have a 50% reduction in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity. The decrease in MnSOD activity was associated with increased mitochondrial oxidative damage as demonstrated by a decrease in the activities of iron sulfhydryl proteins sensitive to oxygen stress (aconitase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-oxidoreductase). Mitochondrial function was altered in the Sod2−/+mice, as shown by decreased respiration by complex I and an increase in the sensitivity of the permeability transition to induction by calcium and t-butylhydroperoxide. The increased induction of the permeability transition in heart mitochondria from Sod2−/+.mice was associated with increased release of cytochrome c and an increase in DNA fragmentation. Cardiomyocytes isolated from neonatal Sod2−/+and Sod2−/−mice were more sensitive to cell death than cardiomyocytes from Sod2+/+mice after t-butylhydroperoxide treatment, and this increased sensitivity was prevented by inhibiting the permeability transition with cyclosporin A. These experiments demonstrate that MnSOD may play an important role in the induction of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in the heart, and this appears to occur primarily through the permeability transition.

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.
