Abstract

Abstract—Mitochondria can either enhance or suppress cell death. Cytochrome c release from mitochondria and depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential ({Delta}{Psi}) are crucial events in triggering apoptosis. In contrast, activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channels prevents lethal ischemic injury in vivo, implicating these channels as key players in the process of ischemic preconditioning. We probed the relationship between mitoKATP channels and apoptosis in cultured neonatal rat cardiac ventricular myocytes. Incubation with 200 µmol/L hydrogen peroxide induced TUNEL positivity, cytochrome c translocation, caspase-3 activation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and dissipation of {Delta}{Psi}. Pharmacological opening of mitoKATP channels by diazoxide (100 µmol/L) preserved mitochondrial integrity and suppressed all markers of apoptosis. Diazoxide prevented {Delta}{Psi} depolarization in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 {approx}40 µmol/L, with saturation by 100 µmol/L), as shown by both flow cytometry and quantitative image analysis of cells stained with fluorescent {Delta}{Psi} indicators. These cytoprotective effects of diazoxide were reproduced by pinacidil, another mitoKATP agonist, and blocked by the mitoKATP channel antagonist 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 µmol/L). Our findings identify a novel mitochondrial pathway that is protective against apoptosis. The results also pinpoint mitoKATP channels as logical therapeutic targets in diseases of enhanced apoptosis and oxidative stress.
