Research Abstract |
β-adrenergic stimulation acts via cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) to phosphorylate functional proteins and myofibrils. However, relatively little is known about the relationship between mitochondrial metabolism and PKA in response to (β-adrenergic stimulation. We investigated the effects of PKA on mitochondrial redox state (FAD fluorescence), mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ_m ; measured with TMRE) and ROS production (measured with dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF) fluorescence) in saponin-permeabilized rat ventricular myocytes. (1) Application of PKA catalytic subunit (PKA_<cat>) increased FAD intensities, which was inhibited by a PKA inhibitor (PKI). (2) Application of PKA_<cat> depolarized ΔΨ_m. The effect of PKA_<cat> on ΔΨ_m was blocked by PKI. (3) Application of PKA_<cat> increased DCF intensities, which was inhibited by Trolox (a ROS scavenger). (4) PKA_<cat>-induced ΔΨ_m depolarization and FAD elevation were inhibited by Trolox. (5) PKA_<cat>-induced ΔΨ_m, depolarization was inhibited by DIDS (an inhibitor of inner membrane anion channel (IMAC)) but not by CsA (an mPTP inhibitor). These results demonstrated that PKA_<cat> alters mitochondrial redox state and ΔΨ_m via mitochodrial ROS generation. It is also suggested that PKA-induced ΔΨ_m depolarization was not related to mPTP, but to the DIDS sensitive mechanisms, which could be IMAC. The depolarizaticin of ΔΨ_m by PKA might be related to the mitochondrial dysfunction under the condition of extensive β-adrenergic stimulation.
