Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Here, we demonstrate mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide (mtH 2 O 2 ) production by α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH) can be inhibited by mitochondria-targeted S-nitrosating agent (MitoSNO), alleviating lipotoxicity. MitoSNO in the nanomolar range inhibits mtH 2 O 2 by ∼50% in isolated liver mitochondria without disrupting respiration, whereas the mitochondria-selective derivative used to synthesize MitoSNO, mitochondria-selective N-acetyl-penicillamine, had no effect on either mtH 2 O 2 generation or oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, mtH 2 O 2 generation in isolated liver mitochondria was almost abolished when MitoSNO was administered in the low micromolar range. The potent inhibitory effect of MitoSNO was comparable to 2-keto-3-methyl-valeric acid and valproic acid, selective inhibitors for KGDH-mediated mtH 2 O 2 production. S1QEL 1.1 (S1) and S3QEL (S3), which are known to selectively suppress mtH 2 O 2 genesis through inhibition of complex I and complex III, respectively, without disrupting respiration, had little to no effect on mtH 2 O 2 production by liver mitochondria. The MitoSNO also suppressed mtH 2 O 2 production and partially rescued mitochondrial respiration in Huh-7 cells subjected to palmitate- and fructose-induced lipotoxicity. MitoSNO also prevented cell death and abrogated intrahepatic lipid accumulation in these Huh-7 cells. MitoSNO nullified mtH 2 O 2 overgeneration and partially rescued oxidative phosphorylation in liver mitochondria from mice fed a high-fat diet. Our findings demonstrate that MitoSNO interferes with mtH 2 O 2 production through KGDH S-nitrosation and may be useful in alleviating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
