Cyclophilin D ablation is associated with increased end-ischemic mitochondrial hexokinase activity.
Scientific Reports 2017 October 7
Both the absence of cyclophilin D (CypD) and the presence of mitochondrial bound hexokinase II (mtHKII) protect the heart against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. It is unknown whether CypD determines the amount of mtHKII in the heart. We examined whether CypD affects mtHK in normoxic, ischemic and preconditioned isolated mouse hearts. Wild type (WT) and CypD(-/-) mouse hearts were perfused with glucose only and subjected to 25 min ischemia and reperfusion. At baseline, cytosolic and mtHK was similar between hearts. CypD ablation protected against I/R injury and increased ischemic preconditioning (IPC) effects, without affecting end-ischemic mtHK. When hearts were perfused with glucose, glutamine, pyruvate and lactate, the preparation was more stable and CypD ablation(-)resulted in more protection that was associated with increased mtHK activity, leaving little room for additional protection by IPC. In conclusion, in glucose only-perfused hearts, deletion of CypD is not associated with end-ischemic mitochondrial-HK binding. In contrast, in the physiologically more relevant multiple-substrate perfusion model, deletion of CypD is associated with an increased mtHK activity, possibly explaining the increased protection against I/R injury.
