We report here a new mitochondrial regulation
occurring only in intact cells. We have investigated the effects of
dimethylbiguanide on isolated rat hepatocytes, permeabilized
hepatocytes, and isolated liver mitochondria. Addition of
dimethylbiguanide decreased oxygen consumption and mitochondrial
membrane potential only in intact cells but not in permeabilized
hepatocytes or isolated mitochondria. Permeabilized hepatocytes after
dimethylbiguanide exposure and mitochondria isolated from
dimethylbiguanide pretreated livers or animals were characterized by a
significant inhibition of oxygen consumption with complex I substrates
(glutamate and malate) but not with complex II (succinate) or complex
IV
(N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (TMPD)/ascorbate) substrates. Studies using
functionally isolated complex I obtained from mitochondria isolated
from dimethylbiguanide-pretreated livers or rats further confirmed that
dimethylbiguanide action was located on the respiratory chain complex
I. The dimethylbiguanide effect was temperature-dependent,
oxygen consumption decreasing by 50, 20, and 0% at 37, 25, and
15 °C, respectively. This effect was not affected by
insulin-signaling pathway inhibitors, nitric oxide precursor or
inhibitors, oxygen radical scavengers, ceramide synthesis inhibitors,
or chelation of intra- or extracellular Ca2+. Because it is
established that dimethylbiguanide is not metabolized, these results
suggest the existence of a new cell-signaling pathway targeted to the
respiratory chain complex I with a persistent effect after cessation of
the signaling process.
