Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes (TID) is associated with cellular oxidative stress and mitochondrial pathway of cell death. The aim of this study was to determine whether oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are present in T1D model (non-obese diabetic mouse, NOD) and if they are related to the stages of disease development. NOD mice were studied at three stages: non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, and diabetic and compared with age-matched Balb/c mice. Mitochondria respiration rates measured at phosphorylating and resting states in liver and soleus biopsies and in isolated liver mitochondria were similar in NOD and Balb/c mice at the three disease stages. However, NOD liver mitochondria were more susceptible to calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition as determined by cyclosporine-A-sensitive swelling and by decreased calcium retention capacity in all three stages of diabetes development. Mitochondria H2O2 production rate was higher in non-diabetic, but unaltered in pre-diabetic and diabetic NOD mice. The global cell reactive oxygen species (ROS), but not specific mitochondria ROS production, was significantly increased in NOD lymphomononuclear and stem cells in all disease stages. In addition, marked elevated rates of 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (H2DCF) oxidation were observed in pancreatic islets from non-diabetic NOD mice. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) and lipidomic approach, we identified oxidized lipid markers in NOD liver mitochondria for each disease stage, most of them being derivatives of diacylglycerols and phospholipids. These results suggest that the cellular oxidative stress precedes the establishment of diabetes and may be the cause of mitochondrial dysfunction that is involved in beta cell death.481214941504ACRL; Association of College and Research Libraries; CAPES; Association of College and Research LibrariesCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Delmastro, M.M., Piganelli, J.D., Oxidative stress and redox modulation potential in type 1 diabetes (2011) Clin Dev Immunol, 2011, p. 593863Rabinovitch, A., Suarez-Pinzon, W.L., Strynadka, K., Lakey, J.R., Rajotte, R.V., Human pancreatic islet beta-cell destruction by cytokines involves oxygen free radicals and aldehyde production (1996) J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 81, pp. 3197-3202Augstein, P., Elefanty, A.G., Allison, J., Harrison, L.C., Apoptosis and beta-cell destruction in pancreatic islets of NOD mice with spontaneous and cyclophosphamide-accelerated diabetes (1998) Diabetologia, 41, pp. 1381-1388Barthson, J., Germano, C.M., Moore, F., Maida, A., Drucker, D.J., Marchetti, P., Cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma induce pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis through STAT1-mediated Bim protein activation (2011) J Biol Chem, 286, pp. 39632-39643Gurzov, E.N., Eizirik, D.L., Bcl-2 proteins in diabetes: Mitochondrial pathways of beta-cell death and dysfunction (2011) Trends Cell Biol, 21, pp. 424-431Thomas, H.E., McKenzie, M.D., Angstetra, E., Campbell, P.D., Kay, T.W., Apoptosis.
