Abstract in preparation:

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH or Complex II) is the only enzyme participating both in the electron transfer system (ETS) and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). Succinate is generated by the TCA cycle in the mt-matrix, and cytosolic succinate plays additional metabolic roles, participating in hypoxia-induced cellular reactions and tumorigenesis [1]. Succinate without the Complex I inhibitor rotenone is well known to induce high levels of H₂O₂ production, which is suggested to be of pathophysiological significance in ischemia-reperfusion injury [2]. The aim of the present study was to investigate the organ- and species-specific regulation of respiration and hydrogen peroxide production in the succinate pathway in view of an ADP-induced respiratory depression observed in some tissues.

Experiments were carried out on (i) isolated mitochondria of guinea pig brain, kidney, liver and heart, and (ii) isolated mitochondria or homogenate of mouse cardiac tissue. Mitochondrial respiration was measured by high-resolution respirometry (OROBOROS, Innsbruck, Austria). O2k-Fluorometry was applied to the mouse mitochondria for simultaneous measurement of respiration and H₂O₂ production. In the guinea pig tissues, H₂O₂ production was measured separately by spectrofluorometry (Photon Technology International, Los Angeles, USA). SDH, malic enzyme, phosphoenolpyruvate-carboxykinase (PEPCK) and hydroxy-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA) [3] enzyme activities were determined by spectrophotometry (Jasco) in brain and kidney tissue.

In all tissues, H₂O₂ production was much higher with S(-Rot) than S(+Rot) in the absence of ADP (LEAK state). ADP (2 mM) added to S(+Rot) increased respiration from the LEAK to the OXPHOS state. Surprisingly, however, ADP added to S(-Rot) inhibited oxygen consumption with respect to the LEAK state, at low succinate concentration in guinea pig brain and heart, but even at high (10 mM) succinate concentration in mouse heart. This so-called “succinate paradox” was not observed in guine pig liver and kidney. H₂O₂ production generally declined to low levels after addition of ADP in states S(+Rot) and S(-Rot). The response of NADH to addition of ADP was diametrically different for S(-Rot) (decrease of NADH) and S(+Rot) (increase of NADH).

SDH (CII) is inhibited by endogenously produced oxaloacetate (Oa), which is particulaly pronounced in state S(-Rot) [4]. However, exogenously added Oa inhibited SDH in all cases, independent of the succinate paradox [5,6]. Addition of rotenone or pyruvate abolished the respiration inhibition, because rotenone decreased Oa production and pyruvate increased Oa elimination. Addition of malic enzyme and HOGA to isolated guine pig mitochondria decreased the concentrations of malate or Oa, and increased the pyruvate concentration, respectively. Added PEPCK directly eliminated Oa and produced phospoenolpyruvate.

The cause of organ specificity of ADP-mediated inhibition of succinate respiration could be different mechanisms and efficacies of Oa elimination. Our results showed that PEPCK and HOGA enzymes take part in the regulation of OA concentration, which is the main metabolic inhibitor of SDH [6].
