Activation of Mitochondrial ATP-Dependent Potassium Channels by Nitric Oxide Norihito Sasaki, MD, PhD; Toshiaki Sato, MD, PhD; Andreas Ohler, MD; Brian O’Rourke, PhD; Eduardo Marba´n, MD, PhD Background—Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a mediator of “second-window” ischemic preconditioning, and mitochondrial ATP-dependent K1 (mitoKATP) channels are the likely effectors. The links between NO and mitoKATP channels are unknown. Methods and Results—We measured mitochondrial redox potential as an index of mitoKATP channel opening in rabbit ventricular myocytes. The NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP, 0.1 to 1 mmol/L) oxidized the mitochondrial matrix dose-dependently without activating sarcolemmal KATP channels. SNAP-induced oxidation was blocked by the selective mitoKATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate and by the NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,49,5,59- tetramethylimidazole-1-oxyl-3-oxide. SNAP-induced mitochondrial oxidation was detectable either by photomultiplier tube recordings of flavoprotein fluorescence or by confocal imaging. SNAP also enhanced the oxidative effects of diazoxide when both agents were applied together. Exposure to 1 mmol/L 8Br-cGMP failed to mimic the effects of SNAP. Conclusions—NO directly activates mitoKATP channels and potentiates the ability of diazoxide to open these channels. These results provide novel mechanistic links between NO-induced cardioprotection and mitoKATP channels. (Circulation. 2000;101:439-445.) Key Words: ischemic preconditioning n nitric oxide n myocytes n mitochondria Nitric oxide is a key signaling molecule that figures prominently in ischemic preconditioning. NO is generated during the oxidation of L-arginine to citrulline, not only in the cytosol but also in mitochondria.1–3 During ischemia, the endogenous production of NO in the heart is increased.1 It is also common therapeutic practice to administer exogenous nitrates in acute ischemic syndromes, further boosting the concentration of NO. Although NO has been reported to afford cardioprotection from reperfusion injury,4–6 the role of NO during the early phase of ischemic preconditioning is controversial.7–10 Conversely, several lines of evidence convincingly implicate NO as a mediator of the late phase (second window) of ischemic preconditioning against infarction and stunning.11–13 The cardioprotective effects of NO have been explained by several factors, such as microvascular effects,4 antineutrophil action,4 induction of stress protein,14 or modulation of cardiac excitability.7 Recently, Bernardo et al15 reported that delayed ischemic preconditioning is inhibited by 5-hydroxydecanoate (5HD) in the rabbit heart. Because 5HD is a selective blocker of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoKATP) channels in rabbit ventricular cells,16 the ability of 5HD to abolish secondwindow protection motivated us to look for possible links between NO and mitoKATP channels. Methods The investigation conforms with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH publication 85-23, revised 1985). Materials Collagenase (type II) was purchased from Worthington. Diazoxide, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), sodium cyanide (CN), SNAP, and 8-bromo cGMP (8Br-cGMP) were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. 5HD, pinacidil, and 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,49,5,59-tetramethylimidazole- 1-oxyl 3-oxide (carboxy-PTIO) were purchased from Research Biochemical International. Diazoxide, SNAP, pinacidil, and carboxy-PTIO were dissolved in DMSO before they were added to experimental solutions. The final concentration of DMSO was ,0.1%. Cell Isolation and Measurement of Mitochondrial Redox State Rabbit ventricular myocytes were isolated enzymatically from adult rabbit hearts and placed in primary culture as described previously.16,17 Experiments were performed over the next day. MitoKATP channel activity was monitored noninvasively by measuring flavoprotein fluorescence as an index of mitochondrial redox state with or without simultaneous whole-cell membrane current recordings (as indicated).16–18 Cells were superfused with external solution containing (in mmol/L) NaCl 140, KCl 5, CaCl2 1, MgCl2 1, and HEPES 10 (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) at room temperature ('22°C). Endogenous flavoprotein fluorescence was excited for 100 ms every 6 seconds by a xenon arc lamp with a bandpass filter centered at 480 nm. Emitted fluorescence was recorded at 530 nm by a photomulReceived July 7, 1999; accepted August 4, 1999. From the Institute of Molecular Cardiobiology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md.

tiplier tube and digitized. The redox signal was averaged during the excitation window and calibrated at the end of each experiment by exposure to DNP, which uncouples respiration from ATP synthesis and induces maximal oxidation. Therefore, the values of flavoprotein fluorescence are expressed as a percentage of the DNP-induced fluorescence. Individual myocytes were observed with a 340 objective to monitor fluorescence 1 cell at a time. Confocal Imaging of Flavoprotein Fluorescence Confocal images were obtained with a Diaphot 300 inverted fluorescence microscope with a PCM-2000 confocal scanning attachment (Nikon, Inc).17,18 Fluorescence was excited by the 488-nm line of an argon laser, and the emission at 505 to 535 nm was recorded. A time series of images was collected at intervals of 10 seconds, and baseline, diazoxide, SNAP, SNAP15HD, CN, and DNP images were enhanced by averaging of 7 sequential images having stable mean fluorescence intensities during exposure to each agent. Images were analyzed on a personal computer with the software program Simple32 (Compix, Inc). Data Analysis To evaluate the effects of pharmacological agents on flavoprotein fluorescence, the slope of relative change in the fluorescence during drug application was calculated by a least-squares method. The best-fit line is indicated by a dotted line in Figure 1 (A, B, and C), Figure 3 (top), and Figure 4 (A and B). Pooled data are presented as mean6SEM, and the number of cells or experiments is shown as n. Statistical comparison was evaluated by 1-way ANOVA, with a value of P,0.05 considered significant. Electrophysiological Recordings In some experiments (Figure 3), whole-cell currents and flavoprotein fluorescence were measured simultaneously. The internal pipette solution contained (in mmol/L) potassium glutamate 120, KCl 25, MgCl2 0.5, K-EGTA 10, HEPES 10, and MgATP 1 (pH adjusted to 7.2 with KOH). Whole-cell currents were elicited every 6 seconds from a holding potential of 280 mV by 2 consecutive steps to 240 mV (for 100 ms) and 0 mV (for 380 ms), and flavoprotein fluorescence was excited during the 100-ms step to 240 mV. To quantify IK,ATP, currents at 0 mV were measured 200 ms into the pulse. Results Effects of SNAP on mitoKATP Channels Figure 1A shows the time course of flavoprotein fluorescence in a cell exposed first to diazoxide, then to SNAP, and finally again to diazoxide. In the first application, diazoxide reversibly oxidized the flavoproteins. Subsequent exposure to SNAP alone gradually increased flavoprotein oxidation with a slope of 0.59%/min. After a 15-minute exposure to SNAP, mitochondrial oxidation persisted even 5 minutes after washout.

those that would be expected from such an effect (in which case the mitochondrial matrix would have been reduced, as it is with CN2).18 Note also that the second exposure to diazoxide after SNAP increased flavoprotein oxidation above the levels reached in the first application, with less of a lag during the second exposure (4 minutes, versus 8 to 9 minutes during the first exposure). To determine whether mitoKATP channels are involved in SNAPinduced mitochondrial oxidation, we applied 5HD, a selective mitoKATP channel blocker. Figure 1, B and C, shows that 1 mmol/L 5HD reversed (B) or prevented (C) the SNAP-induced flavoprotein oxidation. Figure 1D summarizes the amplitude of diazoxideinduced flavoprotein oxidation during the first [DIAZO(1)] and second exposures to diazoxide after the application of SNAP [DIAZO(2) SNAP]. Pretreatment with SNAP significantly enhanced the effects of diazoxide-induced oxidation; we have previously shown that repeated exposures to diazoxide alone do not produce potentiation.17 Figure 1E summarizes the latency to mitoKATP channel activation, measured as the time required to increase flavoprotein fluorescence to 20% of its maximal value after washing in diazoxide. The latency was significantly abbreviated during the second exposure to diazoxide after SNAP. Figure 1F summarizes the effects of 5HD on the SNAP-induced fluorescence changes and verifies that 5HD significantly and consistently inhibits SNAPinduced mitochondrial oxidation. These results indicate that SNAPinduced mitochondrial oxidation is mediated by activation of mitoKATP channels. Effects of SNAP on Flavoprotein Fluorescence Detected by Confocal Imaging To further confirm the NO-induced activation of mitoKATP channels, the effect of SNAP on flavoprotein fluorescence Figure 2. Confocal imaging confirms mitochondria-oxidizing effect of SNAP. A pseudocolor palette was applied to visualize relative increase in mitochondrial flavoprotein, to yield images of cells at baseline (Control, A), after 7 minutes’ exposure to diazoxide (100 mmol/L, B), washing out diazoxide (Wash, C), after 12 minutes’ exposure to SNAP (200 mmol/L, D), and additional application of 1 mmol/L 5HD (SNAP15HD, E). Dynamic range of flavoprotein fluorescence is indicated by exposures to cyanide (4 mmol/L, F) and DNP (100 mmol/L, G) as minimum and maximum, respectively.

Subsequent exposure to SNAP also increased flavoprotein fluorescence (D), but SNAP-induced oxidation was inhibited by additional application of 5HD (E). Images were calibrated at the end of the experiment by exposure to cyanide (F) and DNP (G). The patchy distribution of fluorescence in the confocal images is typical of mitochondria,17,18 confirming that NO oxidizes the mitochondrial matrix by activation of mitoKATP channels. Effects of SNAP on mitoKATP and Sarcolemmal KATP Channels To test the selectivity of NO on mitoKATP versus sarcolemmal KATP channels, we examined the effects of SNAP on flavoprotein fluorescence and whole-cell currents simultaneously. In Figure 3, application of 0.5 mmol/L SNAP without preexposure to diazoxide gradually oxidized the mitochondrial matrix with a slope of 0.78%/min. SNAP-induced oxidation was inhibited by coapplication of 1 mmol/L 5HD. In the continued presence of 5HD, subsequent exposure to 100 mmol/L pinacidil (a mixed mitoKATP/surface KATP agonist)16 failed to induce mitochondrial oxidation. In contrast, Figure 3 (bottom) shows that SNAP had no effect on sarcolemmal KATP channels, because pinacidil activated sarcolemmal KATP channels despite the presence of 5HD. These results are representative and reproducible. A 20-minute exposure to SNAP (0.5 mmol/L) had no significant effect on whole-cell current (before, 5.666.1 pA versus after, 12.964.8 pA at 0 mV, n54, P5NS). Nevertheless, in the presence of 1 mmol/L 5HD, a 10-minute exposure to 100 mmol/L pinacidil increased sarcolemmal KATP current (554.9682.9 pA at 0 mV, n54, P,0.001 versus before). These results indicate that SNAP selectively activates mitoKATP channels. Furthermore, Figure 3 demonstrates that SNAP-induced activation of mitoKATP channels does not require preexposure to diazoxide. Finally, the finding that 5HD suppresses the mitochondrial oxidation induced by pinacidil, but not the agonist effect on IK,ATP, Figure 4.

demonstrates that 1 mmol/L 5HD is a selective inhibitor of mitoKATP channels in rabbit ventricular cells.16,17 Mediation by NO Independent of cGMP To verify that the SNAP-induced changes are actually mediated by the release of NO, we tested the effects of carboxyPTIO, an NO scavenger,21 on the SNAP-induced flavoprotein oxidation. Figure 4A shows that coapplication of carboxyPTIO with SNAP prevented the flavoprotein oxidation (slope ,0%/min). Because many (but not all) of the effects of NO occur via a cGMP-dependent pathway,22,23 we tested whether NO-induced activation of mitoKATP is mimicked by 8BrcGMP. Figure 4B shows that exposure to this cell-permeable cGMP analogue did not increase flavoprotein oxidation, nor did pretreatment with 8Br-cGMP enhance diazoxide-induced oxidation. The effects of the NO scavenger and 8Br-cGMP were observed reproducibly. Figure 4, C and D, shows that carboxy-PTIO abolished the enhancing effects of SNAP on diazoxide-induced oxidation, confirming that the SNAPinduced change is mediated by release of NO. Figure 4, E and F, summarizes data for 8Br-cGMP, confirming that it fails to mimic the effects of SNAP. The pooled data in Figure 5 reveal that SNAP significantly increases the slope of percent change in flavoprotein oxidation and that the SNAP-induced effect is inhibited by 5HD and carboxy-PTIO. The inset shows the dose-response relationship between SNAP concentration and flavoprotein oxidation. Taken together with the results in Figure 4, these experiments support the idea that SNAP activates mitoKATP channels dose-dependently via a direct effect of NO, not mediated by cGMP. Effects of SNAP in the Presence of Diazoxide We previously reported that protein kinase C (PKC) activation enhances diazoxide-induced changes without affecting basal flavoprotein fluorescence.16 This finding indicates that the modulation of mitoKATP by PKC may depend on whether the channels are in the open or closed state when the kinase becomes active. To test for analogous state-dependent changes in the case of NO, we quantified the effects of SNAP on channels that had already been opened by diazoxide. Figure 6A shows that 1 mmol/L SNAP rapidly enhanced diazoxide-induced oxidation when applied after the effect of diazoxide had reached steady state. Note that in this case, the effects of SNAP were reversible. Figure 6C shows that carboxy-PTIO abolished the enhancing effect of SNAP on diazoxide-induced oxidation, and Figure 6E demonstrates that 8Br-cGMP failed to mimic the effects of SNAP on mitoKATP in the presence of diazoxide. Figure 6, B, D, and F, summarizes data for coadministration of diazoxide with SNAP, SNAP1carboxy-PTIO, and 8Br-cGMP, respectively. These results indicate that NO enhances mitoKATP channels preactivated by diazoxide. Channels that are already open appear to be more susceptible to the potentiating actions of NO than channels that are in the closed state. Discussion Our data reveal that NO selectively activates mitoKATP channels but not sarcolemmal KATP channels. The modulation of mitoKATP channels by NO is manifested in 2 ways. One is the gradual oxidation induced by NO alone, and the other is potentiation of mitoKATP channels preopened by diazoxide. Figure 6. Coapplication of diazoxide and SNAP.

The latter effect resembles that of phorbol esters that turn on PKC and enhance diazoxide-induced oxidation,16 but unlike NO, phorbol esters alone do not suffice to activate the channels. It is possible that the 2 observations share a common pathway, inasmuch as reactive oxygen species (such as the NO product peroxynitrite) are known to activate PKC.13,24,25 Shinbo and Iijima26 reported that the application of the NO donor NOR-3 increased the open probability of agonist-activated surface KATP channels in cardiac myocytes, whereas NOR-3 had no effect in the absence of channel agonists. We have found that PKC primes ventricular surface KATP channels to open in response to agonists or to metabolic inhibition, but basal activity is unaffected.27,28 These findings again resemble the rapid enhancement of mitoKATP by NO in the presence of diazoxide but differ in the inability of the modulator to alter basal activity. Although the structural relationship between surface and mitoKATP channels is unknown,29 the results suggest that the 2 channels may share regulatory pathways sensitive to NO, as is the case for PKC.16,27,29 In pancreatic b cells, NO has been argued to inhibit glycolysis, leading to a secondary activation of surface KATP channels.30 However, SNAP did not increase whole-cell KATP current in the present study, consistent with the finding that NO alone did not activate single KATP channels in cell-attached mode in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.26 The mitoKATP channel is not especially sensitive to changes in bulk [ATP], remaining closed even at 0.5 mmol/L [ATP].31 Considering these observations, it seems unlikely that the effects of NO on mitoKATP channels reflect inhibition of glycolysis. Both NO and mitoKATP channels have been implicated in the delayed phase of preconditioning known as the “second window” of protection.11–13 MitoKATP channel opening is cardioprotective during ischemia,17,32 whereas blockade of mitoKATP channels abolishes both classic and second-window protection. The present study establishes NO as an endogenous mitoKATP channel opener that may be able to recruit cardioprotection in the second window. NO may play a particularly prominent role in the second window because of changes in gene expression, notably the upregulation of nitric oxide synthase that occurs within 24 hours of conditioning ischemia. Although the relationships between mitoKATP channel activation and cardioprotection remain elusive, the opening of channels in the inner membrane may dissipate the mitochondrial potential established by the proton pump, perhaps blunting the Ca21 overload that would otherwise occur as a result of the large driving force for Ca21 entry into mitochondria during ischemia.16,17 It was recently reported that mitoKATP channel openers release Ca21 from Ca21-loaded mitochondria.33 The uncoupling by diazoxide appears to be much gentler than that which can be induced by agents such as DNP34; indeed, severe uncoupling should be harmful to myocytes, because energy production is critically reduced. We speculate that NO, functioning as an endogenous mitoKATP channel opener, may titrate the coupling level of the mitochondria to an optimum that blunts mitochondrial calcium overload without significantly undermining ATP synthetic capacity.
