Abstract

Nitric oxide reacts rapidly with superoxide to produce the po- tent oxidant peroxynitrite. In vivo mitochondria produce super- oxide as well as NO. In heart mitochondria of aging rats the amount of NO and .O2- are increased thus the levels of peroxynitrite produced may be increased too, in this reason mitochondria may be a major site of peroxynitrite formation. Oxidative stress induces cyclosporine A-sensitive mitochondrial efflux of calcium and proapoptotic factors through MPTP (mi- tochondrial permeability transition pore) opening in heart mito- chondria which may contribute to tissue damage and mitochon- drial dysfunction in aging rats. We tested the levels of NO and superoxide generation in mitochondria simultaneously with cyclosporine A-sensitive MPTP opening by Ca2+ and phenylarsine oxide (PAO) to determine whether down- regulation of both NO and .O2- generation in heart mitochon- dria by potent steroid antioxidant and free radical scavenger ecdysterone may protect heart mitochondria of aging rats again tissue damage. C27-phytosteroid hormone ecdysterone (10mkg/ 100g, per os, 2 weeks) mimics action of its structural analog C27- steroid hormone calcitriol (1?,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3) and exert its cardio protection in aging heart mitochondria by inhibition of MPTP opening with effectivity of action of hormone melatonine (150mkg/100g, 2 weeks [ V.F.Sagach et al. Fyziol. J (Ukr), 2006, 52(2), 3-15]). MPTP inhibition is dependent on paradoxycally high activation by ecdusterone of oxidative deg- radation of L- arginine by mtcNOS in mitochondria, by down- regulation of superoxide generation and L-arginine degradation by arginase II and NO generation by mtiNOS in de novo and by NADP-dependent mtNR (nitrate reductase) in salvage path- ways . These results suggest that MPTP opening may be di- rectly influenced by ecdysterone signaling in mitochondria. The signaling pathway by which ecdysterone may coregulate the .O2- and NO generation in heart mitochondria of aging rats may involve an outer mitochondrial membrane estrogen receptor coupled to mitochondrial PI3K/Akt/PKB activation results in superactivation and constitutive NO synthesis by mtcNOS .
