Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various
forms of lung injury and disease. To address the effect
of mitochondrial dysfunction on lung metabolism,
HP-Pyruvate metabolism was studied in presence of
complex I inhibitor (rotenone) and complex IV activator
(TMPD). Rotenone decreased bicarbonate production
significantly (49%) and TMPD elevated it about 74% when
compared to control. Lactate label exchange
significantly increased in treated lungs with rotenone
(53%). Enhancement of lactate production of injured
lungs could be from presence of inflammatory cells
and/or because of mitochondrial dysfunction. But the
bicarbonate production is not changed in inflamed lungs
and decreased on dysfunction of mitochondria.
