abstract = {Mitochondrial respiratory complexes are organized into
supercomplexes (SC) to regulate electron flow and mitigate
oxidative stress. Alterations in SC organization in the
brain may affect energy expenditure, oxidative stress, and
neuronal survival. In this report, we investigated the
amount, activity and organization of mitochondrial complex I
(CI) in the hippocampus of 12-month-old McGill-R-Thy1-APP
transgenic (Tg) rats, an animal model of Alzheimer's-like
cerebral amyloidosis. By means of BN-PAGE, we found that the
organization of SC did not differ between genotypes, but a
lower abundance of SC was detected in Tg compared to
wild-type (WT) rats. Using a more sensitive technique (2-D
electrophoresis followed by Western blot), higher levels of
free CI and a decrease in the relative abundance of
assembled CI in SC (I-III2 and I-III2-IV) were observed in
Tg rats. In-gel activity assays showed that the total
activity of CI (CI + SC-CI) is lower in Tg compared to
WT, while Tg samples show a significant decrease in
SC-CI-associated activity. This alteration in CI assembly
was associated with nitro-oxidative stress and changes in
mitochondrial fusion-fission parameters. To assess CI
composition, we applied LC–MS/MS to the isolated CI from
BN-PAGE and found that 11 of 45 subunits described in
mammals were found to be less abundant in Tg. We examined
the levels of the nuclear-derived NDUFA9 subunit, which is
critical for CI assembly, and found higher levels in the
cytoplasmic fraction and lower levels in the mitochondrial
fraction in Tg, suggesting that brain amyloidosis affects
the import of CI subunits from the cytosol to the
mitochondria, destabilizing the SC. This is the first report
to characterize the types, abundance and activity of SC in
the hippocampus of an animal model of cerebral amyloidosis,
providing additional experimental evidence for the molecular
mechanisms underlying the brain bioenergetic deficit
characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.},
