Effects of NO on mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes: Pathophysiological relevance

Cardiovascular Research
Sean M Davidson, M R Duchen

Abstract

Although the specific roles of nitric oxide (NO) in the heart in general and on cardiac mitochondria in particular remain controversial, it is now clear that both endogenous and exogenous sources of NO exert important modulatory effects on mitochondrial function. There is also growing evidence that NO can be produced within the mitochondria themselves. NO can influence respiratory activity, both through direct effects on the respiratory chain or indirectly via modulation of mitochondrial calcium accumulation. At pathological concentrations, NO can cause irreversible alterations in respiratory function and can also interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to form reactive nitrogen species, which may further impair mitochondrial respiration and can even lead to opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and cell death. Diabetes, aging, myocardial ischemia, and heart failure have all been associated with altered ROS generation, which can alter the delicate regulatory balance of effects of NO in the mitochondria. As NO competes with oxygen at cytochrome oxidase, it can be argued that experiments exploring the roles of NO on mitochondrial respiration should be performed at physiological (i.e. relatively low) oxygen...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
