Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are central mediators of cardiac dysfunction after ischemia/reperfusion. ATP binding cassette mitochondrial erythroid (ABC-me; ABCB10; mABC2) is a mitochondrial transporter highly induced during erythroid differentiation and predominantly expressed in bone marrow, liver, and heart. Until now, ABC-me function in heart was unknown. Several lines of evidence demonstrate that the yeast ortholog of ABC-me protects against increased oxidative stress. Therefore, ABC-me is a potential modulator of the outcome of ischemia/reperfusion in the heart.

Methods and results: Mice harboring 1 functional allele of ABC-me (ABC-me(+/-)) were generated by replacing ABC-me exons 2 and 3 with a neomycin resistance cassette. Cardiac function was assessed with Langendorff perfusion and echocardiography. Under basal conditions, ABC-me(+/-) mice had normal heart structure, hemodynamic function, mitochondrial respiration, and oxidative status. However, after ischemia/reperfusion, the recovery of hemodynamic function was reduced by 50% in ABC-me(+/-) hearts as a result of impairments in both systolic and diastolic function. This reduction was associated with impaired mitochondrial bioenergetic function and with oxidative damage to both mitochondrial lipids and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase after reperfusion. Treatment of ABC-me(+/-) hearts with the superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetic EUK-207 prevented oxidative damage to mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase and restored mitochondrial and cardiac function to wild-type levels after reperfusion.

Conclusions: Inactivation of 1 allele of ABC-me increases the susceptibility to oxidative stress induced by ischemia/reperfusion, leading to increased oxidative damage to mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase and to impaired functional recovery. Thus, ABC-me is a novel gene that determines the ability to tolerate cardiac ischemia/reperfusion.

Upper traces represent systolic pressure and lower traces represent end diastolic pressure (EDP).

A) & B) Oxygen consumption rates (OCR) of isolated mitochondria (20μg) from wild type and ABC-me +/- hearts after Langendorff (n=4). State III was induced by incubating mitochondria with 0.25 mM ADP, State IV by 2 μM Oligomycin and uncoupled respiration by 100 μM 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). Respiration was driven by A) complex I (5mM pyruvate and 5 mM malate) or B) complex II (5 mM succinate and 2 μM rotenone). C) Representative Western blot analysis from total lysates of wild type (WT) and ABC-me +/- (+/-) hearts (n=7) to detect carbonylated proteins (the comassie blue staining of the transferred gel was used as a loading control). D) Mitochondrial superoxide production rates were addressed by monitoring the linear increase on Mitosox fluorescence in 96-well plate with 5-10 μg of mitochondria from wild type and ABC-me +/- hearts. Antimycin A was used as a positive control, as it increases superoxide production (black bars, wild type, open bars, ABC-me +/-, n=6). E) Representative Western blot analysis from total lysates of wild type (WT) and ABC-me +/- (+/-) hearts (n=7) to detect mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (sod2) and catalase. The comassie blue staining of the transferred gels and Porin were used as loading controls. Data are shown as mean with ± SEM.
