ABSTRACT: This a model from the article: Computer modeling of mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, metabolite transport, and electrophysiology. Wu F, Yang F, Vinnakota KC, Beard DA. J Biol Chem 2007 Aug 24;282(34):24525-37 17591785 , Abstract: A computational model of mitochondrial metabolism and electrophysiology is introduced and applied to analysis of data from isolated cardiac mitochondria and data on phosphate metabolites in striated muscle in vivo. This model is constructed based on detailed kinetics and thermodynamically balanced reaction mechanisms and a strict accounting of rapidly equilibrating biochemical species. Since building such a model requires introducing a large number of adjustable kinetic parameters, a correspondingly large amount of independent data from isolated mitochondria respiring on different substrates and subject to a variety of protocols is used to parameterize the model and ensure that it is challenged by a wide range of data corresponding to diverse conditions. The developed model is further validated by both in vitro data on isolated cardiac mitochondria and in vivo experimental measurements on human skeletal muscle. The validated model is used to predict the roles of NAD and ADP in regulating the tricarboxylic acid cycle dehydrogenase fluxes, demonstrating that NAD is the more important regulator. Further model predictions reveal that a decrease of cytosolic pH value results in decreases in mitochondrial membrane potential and a corresponding drop in the ability of the mitochondria to synthesize ATP at the hydrolysis potential required for cellular function.

Project description:Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles undergoing fusion, fission and degradation. Although mitochondria are known to be essential for cellular metabolism, it is not fully understood how mitochondrial dynamics affect cellular metabolism. We previously identified a mouse gene, transmembrane protein 135 (TMEM135) that plays a role in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. Mice with mutant Tmem135 (Tmem135FUN025/FUN025) show accelerated aging phenotypes and age-related pathologies in the retina including the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). We also generated a transgenic mouse line globally overexpressing the Tmem135 gene (Tmem135 TG). In several tissues and cells that we studied such as the retina, heart and fibroblast cells, we observed that the Tmem135 mutation causes elongated mitochondria, while over-expression of Tmem135 results in fragmented mitochondria. These unique mouse models allow us to test how abnormal mitochondrial dynamics affect metabolic signatures of tissues and cells. In this study, we identified metabolic changes in primary RPE cell cultures as well as tissues isolated from Tmem135FUN025/FUN025 mice (fusion > fission) and Tmem135 TG mice (fusion < fission) using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Metabolomics analysis revealed a tissue-dependent response to alterations to Tmem135 whereby, significant metabolic changes were observed in heart in both mutant and TG mice as compared to WT while negligible effects were observed in cerebellum and hippocampus. We also observed changes in Tmem135FUN025/FUN025 and Tmem135 TG RPE cells associated with osmosis, glucose metabolism and phospholipid metabolism. Significant depletion of NAD+ was detected in both Tmem135FUN025/FUN025 and Tmem135 TG RPE cells, indicating that imbalance in mitochondrial dynamics to both directions lowers the cellular NAD+ level. Thus, we have identified metabolomic changes associated with imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics in heart tissue and RPE cells which can likely lead to functional abnormalities.

Project description:DEP exposure is linked to increases in cardiovascular effects. This effect is enhanced in individuals with pre-existing disease. Animal models of cardiovascular disease are used to study this susceptibility. The heart is rich in mitochondria, which produce high levels of free radicals, leading to inactivation of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes. We hypothesized that a 4-wk DEP inhalation would result in strain-related structural impairment of cardiac mitochondria and changes in these enzyme activities in WKY and SHR. Male rats (12-14 wks age) were exposed whole body to air or 0.5 or 2.0 mg/m3 DEP for 6h/d, 5 d/wk for 4 wks. Neutrophilic influx was noted in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in both strains. A slightly lower level of baseline cardiac mitochondrial aconitase activity was seen in SHR than WKY. Aconitase activity appeared to be decreased in an exposure related manner in both strains. Significantly higher baseline levels of cardiac cytosolic ferritin and aconitase activity were seen in the SHR than WKY. No exposure-related changes were noted in either of these measures. Mitochondrial succinate and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities were not changed following DEP exposure in either strain. Transmission electron microscopy images of the heart indicated abnormalities in cardiac mitochondria of control SHR but not control WKY. No exposure related ultrastructural changes were induced by DEP in either strain. In conclusion, strain differences in cardiac biomarkers of oxidative stress and structure of mitochondria exist between SHR and WKY. DEP exposure results in small changes in cardiac mitochondrial and cytosolic markers of oxidative stress. (Abstract does not represent USEPA policy.) Experiment Overall Design: Two strains of rats (Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats were exposed to either diesel exhaust particles or clean air. Four biological replicates were used for each strain/treatment exposure. Total number of chips equals 16.
