PG - 1-7 LID - S0006-291X(22)01741-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.12.070 [doi] AB - The study aimed to explore the role of age-associated elevated cytosolic Ca(2+) in changes of brain mitochondria energetic processes. Two groups of rats, young adults (4 months) and advanced old (24 months), were evaluated for potential alterations of mitochondrial parameters, the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), membrane potential, calcium retention capacity, activity of glutamate/aspartate carrier (aralar), and ROS formation. We demonstrated that the brain mitochondria of older animals have a lower resistance to Ca(2+) stress with resulting consequences. The suppressed complex I OxPhos and decreased membrane potential were accompanied by reduction of the Ca(2+) threshold required for induction of mPTP. The Ca(2+) binding sites of mitochondrial aralar mediated a lower activity of old brain mitochondria. The altered interaction between aralar and mPTP may underlie mitochondrial dysregulation leading to energetic depression during aging. At the advanced stages of aging, the declined metabolism is accompanied by the diminished oxidative background. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
