Abstract

Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) closure triggers cardiomyocyte differentiation during development while pathological opening causes cell death during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and heart failure. Ubiquinone modulates the mPTP; however, little is known about its mechanistic role in health and disease. We previously found excessive proton leak in newborn Fmr1 KO mouse forebrain caused by ubiquinone deficiency and increased open mPTP probability. Because of the physiological differences between the heart and brain during maturation, we hypothesized that developing Fmr1 KO cardiomyocyte mitochondria would demonstrate dissimilar features. Newborn male Fmr1 KO mice and controls were assessed. Respiratory chain enzyme activity, ubiquinone content, proton leak, and oxygen consumption were measured in cardiomyocyte mitochondria. Cardiac function was evaluated via echocardiography. In contrast to controls, Fmr1 KO cardiomyocyte mitochondria demonstrated increased ubiquinone content and decreased proton leak. Leak was cyclosporine (CsA)-sensitive in controls and CsA-insensitive in Fmr1 KOs. There was no difference in absolute mitochondrial respiration or cardiac function between strains. These findings establish the...Continue Reading
