- Abstract
- In order to gain some insight into the mechanism by which 3'-azido-3'-
deoxythymidine (AZT) damages mitochondria, we investigated whether
externally added AZT can stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS)
production by rat heart mitochondria (RHM). An increase in superoxide
anion ((O(2)(.-)) production was measured in RHM added with AZT, by using
a photometrically method which allows an early O(2)(.-) detection by
following the absorbance increase at 550 nm due to the ferricytochrome c
reduction. Such an increase was found to be prevented from externally
added superoxide dismutase. The stimulation of O(2)(.-) mitochondrial
production induced by AZT was found to occur under conditions in which
mitochondrial oxygen consumption was prevented by both inhibitors of
electron flow and ATP synthesis. Since ROS can cause mitochondrial
carrier impairment, we investigated whether AZT can affect mitochondrial
permeability in virtue of its capability to stimulate ROS production. In
this regard, we studied the transport of phosphate (P(i)), by measuring
the mitochondrial shrinkage that takes place as a result of P(i) uptake
by RHM previously swollen in a calcium acetate medium. As a result of the
AZT-dependent O(2)(.-) production, uncompetitive inhibition of the rate
of P(i) transport in RHM was found (K(i) of about 10 microM),
consistently, such an inhibition was found to prevent by certain known
ROS scavengers, i.e. superoxide dismutase, the antioxidant Vitamin C and
reduced gluthatione. (literal)
