Rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium produce parkinsonian models and we determined whether their mitochondrially mediated actions differentially redistributed the apoptogenic proteins, apoptosis-inducing factor and cytochrome c.

The synthesis of mitochondrial 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and apoptosis-inducing factors were increased following exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion or rotenone.

Free Radic Biol Med. 2004 Jun 15;36(12):1517-31.

Production of reactive oxygen species was inhibited by ruthenium red and rotenone, two mitochondrial inhibitors, and by diphenyleneiodonium, a flavoprotein inhibitor, which also prevented both loss in mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis.

Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF)-deficient harlequin (Hq) mice undergo neurodegeneration associated with a 40-50% reduction in complex I level and activity.
Isolated Hq brain mitochondria oxidizing complex I substrates displayed no difference compared to wild type (WT) in basal ROS production, H2O2 removal, or ROS production stimulated by complex I inhibitors rotenone or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium.

In this study, we demonstrated that protoporphyrin IX, staurosporine, and rotenone induced apoptotic-like changes in the mitochondria, and early differentiation of keratinocytes without inducing apoptosis.
Kinetics studies established that differentiation-related changes, including growth arrest, flattened morphology, stratification, and keratin 10 (K10) expression, were downstream of mitochondrial depolarization and proliferation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor.

Our previous report demonstrated that 100 microM Cd induces MRC-5 cells, normal human lung fibroblasts, to undergo caspase-independent apoptosis mediated by mitochondrial membrane depolarization and translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) from mitochondria into the nucleus.
Using inhibitors of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) (oligomycin A and rotenone for complex I and V, respectively) and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) (cyclosporin A and aristolochic acid), we coincidently found the ROS production, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and apoptotic content were almost completely or partially abolished.

We have shown that expression of a rotenone-insensitive yeast NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (Ndi1) can rescue mammalian cells from complex I dysfunction.
We found that complex I inhibition provokes the following events: 1) activation of specific kinase pathways; 2) release of mitochondrial proapoptotic factors, apoptosis inducing factor, and endonuclease G.
