Abstract
Regulation of mitochondrial free Ca2+ is critically important for cellular homeostasis. An increase in mitochondrial matrix free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]m) predisposes mitochondria to opening of the permeability transition pore (mPTP). Opening of the pore can be delayed by cyclosporin A (CsA), possibly by inhibiting cyclophilin D (Cyp D), a key regulator of mPTP. Here, we report on a novel mechanism by which CsA delays mPTP opening by enhanced sequestration of matrix free Ca2+. Cardiac-isolated mitochondria were challenged with repetitive CaCl2 boluses under Na+-free buffer conditions with and without CsA. CsA significantly delayed mPTP opening primarily by promoting matrix Ca2+ sequestration, leading to sustained basal [Ca2+]m levels for an extended period. The preservation of basal [Ca2+]m during the CaCl2 pulse challenge was associated with normalized NADH, matrix pH (pHm), and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Notably, we found that in PO43− (Pi)-free buffer condition, the CsA-mediated buffering of [Ca2+]m was abrogated, and mitochondrial bioenergetics variables were concurrently compromised. In the presence of CsA, addition of Pi just before pore opening in the Pi-depleted condition reinstated the Ca2+ buffering system and rescued mitochondria from mPTP opening. This study shows that CsA promotes Pi-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ sequestration to delay mPTP opening and, concomitantly, maintains mitochondrial function.
