To block mitochondrial function, transgenic CD8+ T cells were incubated with increasing doses of rotenone, an inhibitor of electron transport complex I.

CD4+ or CD8+ cells from clinically asymptomatic HIV-1 carriers contain a significantly elevated percentage of cells endowed with enhanced HE --> Eth conversion and/or reduced DiOC6 (3) uptake as compared with normal controls.
Control experiments involving rotenone, an inhibitor of the respiratory chain complex I, indicate that the reactive oxygen species responsible for HE --> Eth conversion is generated during mitochondrial electron transport.

Examining the mechanisms by which Tat induces apoptosis, we found that inhibitors of reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI) generation or neutralizers of ROI, such as rotenone, a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I of the respiratory chain, and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline N-oxide (TMPO), an electron spin trap, could both enhance the spontaneous apoptosis induced by Tat.
