Mitochondrial respiration, mainly at the level of complex I and III, is an important source of ROS generation and hence a potential contributor of cardiac reperfusion injury. Appropriate antioxidant strategies could be particularly useful to limit this ROS generation and associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Melatonin has been shown to effectively protect against ischemic-reperfusion myocardial damage. The mechanism by which melatonin exerts this cardioprotective effect is not well established. In the present study we examined the effects of melatonin on various parameters of mitochondrial bioenergetics in a Langerdoff isolated perfused rat heart model. After isolation of mitochondria from control, ischemic-reperfused and melatonin-treated ischemic-reperfused rat heart, various bioenergetic parameters were evaluated such as rates of mitochondrial oxygen consumption, complex I and complex III activity, H 2 O 2 production as well as the degree of lipid peroxidation, cardiolipin content, and cardiolipin oxidation. We found that reperfusion significantly altered all these mitochondrial parameters, while melatonin treatment had strong protective effect attenuating these alterations. This effect appears to be due, at least in part, to the preservation, by ROS attack, of the content and integrity of cardiolipin molecules which play a pivotal role in mitochondrial bioenergetics. Protection of mitochondrial dysfunction was associated with an improvement of post-ischemic hemodynamic function of the heart. Melatonin had also strong protective effect against oxidative alterations to complex I and III as well as to cardiolipin in isolated mitochondria.—Petrosillo, G., Di Venosa, N., Pistolese, M., Casanova, G., Tiravanti, E., Colantuono, G., Federici, A., Paradies, G., Ruggiero, F.
