Mitochondrial functional and structural impairment and generation of oxidative stress have been implicated in aging, various diseases and chemotherapies. This study analyzed azidothymidine (AZT)-caused failures in mitochondrial functions, in redox regulation and activation of the HIV-1 gene expression. We monitored intracellular concentrations of ATP and glutathione (GSH) as the indicators of energy production and redox conditions, respectively, during the time-course experiments with U937 and MOLT4 human lymphoid cells in the presence of AZT ( mgÆmL)1) or H2O2 ( mM) for 15–25 days. . | Eur.

This study analyzed azidothymidine AZT -caused failures in mitochondrial functions in redox regulation and activation of the HIV-1 gene expression. We monitored intracellular concentrations of ATP and glutathione GSH as the indicators of energy production and redox conditions respectively during the time-course experiments with U937 and MOLT4 human lymphoid cells in the presence of AZT mg-mL-1 or H2O2 mM for l i -55 days. Moochondrial DA A integrity and NF-KB-driven HIV-1 promoter activity were also assessed. ATP concentration began to decrease within several days after exposure to AZT or H2O2 and the decrease continued to reach 30-40 of the normal level. However decline of GSH was detectable after a retention period for at least 5-6 days and progressed likewise. PCR analyses found that mitochondrial DNA destruction occurred when the ATP and GSH depletion had progressed detecting a difference in the deletion pattern between AZT and H2O2-treated cells. The GSH decrease coincided with HIV-1 promoter sensitization detected by enhanced DNA binding ability of NF-KB and induction of the gene expression upon H2O2-rechallenge. Our results suggest that in the process of AIDS myopathy development AZT or oxidative agents directly impair the energy-producing system of mitochondria causing dysfunction of cellular redox control which eventually leads to loss
