    Notes: The effect of methotrexate (MTX) on the mitochondrial oxidation of cytosolic-reducing equivalents in HeLa cells was studied. MTX inhibited (100 per cent) malate dehydrogenase activity, but no effect was observed on that of GOT. MTX (0.5 mM) inhibited (100 per cent) the activity of reconstituted enzymatic system MDH-GOT, probably as a consequence of inhibition of malate dehydrogenase activity. MTX decreased pyruvate production (54 per cent), demonstrating its inhibitory action on the malate-aspartate shuttle. Blockage of the malate-aspartate shuttle by MTX accounts for the decrease in cellular energetic gain. The results obtained are consistent with the view that in HeLa cells, as well as in other tumour cells, the trasport of reducing equivalents from cytoplasmic NADH into the respiratory chain of mitochondria is via the malate-aspartate shuttle.

    Notes: The effects of methotrexate (MTX) on oxygen uptake by permeabilized HeLa cells were evaluated. MTX did not inhibit state III respiration when the oxidizable substrate was succinate, but when the substrates were 2-oxoglutarate or isocitrate the respiration decreased about 50 per cent at 1·0 mM concentration of the drug. This effect was explained by inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate and isocitrate dehydrogenases by MTX. No effect was observed on succinate dehydrogenase. An evaluation of the effects of MTX on malic enzyme activity as measured by pyruvate plus lactate production in intact cells supplied with malate showed a decrease of about 40 per cent in metabolite production using 0·4 mM MTX. HeLa cell malic enzyme, as observed for other tumour cells, is compartmentalized in mitochondria and cytosol, and is another example of a dehydrogenase inhibited by MTX. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of citrinin on energy production along the respiratory chain and on glycolytic lactate production were examined in BHK-21 cultured cells. Citrinin inhibited the oxygen consumption rate by about 45 per cent. The respiratory rate of digitonin-treated cells energized with succinate, in the presence of ADP, was reduced by about 39 per cent. The mycotoxin inhibited the glucose utilization of BHK-21 cells by about 86 per cent. Cells treated with citrinin produced a small quantity of pyruvate, but were unable to produce lactate. It is concluded that BHK-21 cells cannot generate lactate when oxidative metabolism is inhibited by citrinin. The perturbations in BHK-21 cells caused by citrinin are due to alterations in mitochondrial function and in the glycolytic anaerobic pathway.

    Notes: The occurrence of a Crabtree effect in HeLa cells was detected. Some properties of pyruvate kinase (PK) were also evaluated. Hexose phosphate, triose-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) significantly decreased the oxygen consumption of digitonin-permeabilized HeLa cells, which were oxidizing succinate. The Crabtree effect promoted by PEP was concentration-dependent and was lowered by an increase of ADP concentration, suggesting a participation of PK. The dependence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FDP) by HeLa cell PK was observed. The PK of HeLa cells was inhibited by L-alanine only in the absence of FDP, while in the presence of the metabolite, an increase in the activity was observed. PK was also inhibited in the presence of L-histidine and L-leucine, while L-serine promoted activation. L-Cysteine and L-phenylalanine also inhibited the PK of HeLa cells. This, together with the sigmoidal character in relation to substrate concentration, suggests the presence of the K-type of PK in HeLa cells. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Effect of methotrexate (MTX) on mitochondrial oxygen uptake, oxidative phosphorylation and on the activity of several enzymes linked to respiratory chain was studied. MTX was able to inhibit state III respiration activated by ADP and to decrease the respiratory coefficient with the substrates α-ketoglutarate and glutamate; these effects became pronounced when mitochondria were pre-incubated with MTX for 10 min. No effect was observed on ATPase activity of undamaged or broken mitochondria; the same was true for NADH-oxidase, NADH-dehydrogenase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, succinate oxidase, and cytochrome c oxidase activity. The effect on the steady-state of cytochrome b, as well as, the inhibitory effect on state III of respiration with NAD+-linked substrates, offers a reasonable possibility to suggesting that the inhibition site of MTX could be in a place anterior to cytochrome b region, and not linked to respiratory chain.

    Notes: The effect of methotrexate (MTX) on transplasma-membrane electron transport and ferricyanide-induced proton extrusion by HeLa cells was studied. Both systems were inhibited by MTX. It is suggested that inhibition of electron transport and proton extrusion caused by MTX could be associated with other metabolic alterations such as response to the increase in NADH levels and decrease in intracellular pH.

    Notes: The effect of citrinin on Ca2+ transport was studied in isolated kidney cortex and liver mitochondria, and baby hamster kidney cultured cells. The mycotoxin significantly inhibited the activity of 2-oxoglutarate and pyruvate dehydrogenases in both kidney cortex and liver mitochondria. Citrinin promoted a decrease in the velocity and in the total capacity of Ca2+ uptake, in both mitochondria. Apparently, citrinin acts by a mechanism similar to ruthenium red. In intact cultured cells, citrinin also had a preferential effect on mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. Citrinin promoted a marked decrease in the Ca2+ level in the mitochondrial matrix, whereas that of the extramitochondiral fraction became less affected. All the observed effects were dependent on the citrinin concentration.

    Notes: The possibility of tissue-specific effects regarding mitochondrial sensitivity to AZT was evaluated in this study. When mitochondria isolated from liver, kidney, skeletal and cardiac muscle were oxidizing glutamate, a dose-dependent inhibition by AZT of state 3 respiration was observed; using succinate as substrate the inhibition occurred only in skeletal and cardiac muscle mitochondria. The same results were obtained with FCCP-uncoupled mitochondria. NADH oxidase of intact and disrupted mitochondria, isolated from all four tissues was strongly inhibited. Succinate oxidase activity was inhibited by AZT only in intact mitochondria from skeletal and cardiac muscles, suggesting the involvement of succinate transport systems. Similarly, inhibition by the drug of the hydrolytic activity of H+-ATPase was observed only in mitochondria of these tissues. These effects taken together, indicate a tissue/carrier-specific inhibition in vitro, although its precise mechanism requires further research. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effect of methotrexate (MTX) and leucovorin (LCV) on pentose cycle enzymes and the activity of enzymes involved in enzyme defence mechanisms against ROS in HeLa cells, were studied. The effect of MTX was also investigated on the cellular levels of glutathione. MTX inhibited the activity of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases. The activities of glutathione reductase and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase were also inhibited by the drug. No effect was observed on the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase or transketolase. LCV had no effect on any of the enzymes studied. MTX decreased the cellular levels of glutathione (70 per cent), while the presence of LCV and glutamine did not interfere with the effect of MTX. The net results appear to show that the biological situation resulting from treatment with MTX leads to a reduction of effectiveness of the antioxidant enzyme defence system.
