Relationship between oxidative phosphorylation and adenine nucleotide translocase activity of two populations of cardiac mitochondria and mechanical recovery of ischemic hearts following reperfusion.

| Abstract |
The possible relationship of the atractyloside-sensitive adenine nucleotide translocase activity, oxidative phosphorylation, and the recovery of ventricular contractility following reperfusion of the ischemic isolated rat heart was studied. Five minutes of total global ischemia without reperfusion produced a significant depression in adenine nucleotide translocase in subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SLM), whereas a minimum of 10 min ischemia was required to observe a significant depression in interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM). Increasing durations of ischemia resulted in a progressively larger depression in translocase activity, with a maximum depression of approximately 75% seen in both populations following 20 min ischemia. In contrast, oxidative phosphorylation was totally unaffected in either mitochondrial population following up to 20 min of ischemia. We assessed whether translocase activity or oxidative phosphorylation were related to contractile recovery in hearts reperfused following various durations of ischemia. In SLM, translocase activity was further depressed following reperfusion compared with pre-reperfusion ischemic values, whereas with IFM only reperfusion following 5 min ischemia produced a further depression in translocase values. Oxidative phosphorylation rates of SLM and IFM were significantly depressed following reperfusion of ischemic hearts, although SLM exhibited a generally higher sensitivity in this regard. In reperfused hearts, an overall significant relationship was found between oxidative phosphorylation rate and adenine translocase activity as well as between translocase activity and post-reperfusion contractile recovery. These data show that ischemia can produce a significant depression in translocase activity in the absence of any change in oxidative phosphorylation. The results also suggest that the depression in mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocase and subsequent inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in the reperfused heart may represent one of the important contributory mechanisms involved in cardiac failure and injury during acute ischemia and reperfusion.
