“…Treatment with citreoviridin for 48 hours decreased the pH of the culture medium from 7.0 to 6.7 and 7.1 to 6.8 for CL1-0 and A549 cells, respectively. The acidosis of culture medium may induce ER stress and cause cytotoxicity (44). Ectopic ATP synthase may act as an intracellular pH regulator because of its role in proton transport (12,14,45), and the inhibition of ectopic ATP synthase is enhanced under acidic conditions (14).…”

Ectopic expression of the mitochondrial F 1 F 0 -ATP synthase on the plasma membrane has been reported to occur in cancer, but whether it exerts a functional role in this setting remains unclear. Here we show that ectopic ATP synthase and the electron transfer chain exist on the plasma membrane in a punctuated distribution of lung adenocarcinoma cells, where it is critical to support cancer cell proliferation. Applying ATP synthase inhibitor citreoviridin induced cell cycle arrest and inhibited proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of lung cancer cells. Analysis of protein expression profiles after citreoviridin treatment suggested this compound induced the unfolded protein response (UPR) associated with phosphorylation the translation initiation factor 2a (eIF2a), triggering cell growth inhibition. Citreoviridin-enhanced eIF2a phosphorylation could be reversed by siRNA-mediated attenuation of the UPR kinase PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) combined with treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, establishing that reactive oxygen species (ROS) boost UPR after citreoviridin treatment. Thus, a coordinate elevation of UPR and ROS initiates a positive feedback loop that convergently blocks cell proliferation. Our findings define a molecular function for ectopic ATP synthase at the plasma membrane in lung cancer cells and they prompt further study of its inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach.

“…In ALS, an acidic environment has the potential to catalyze the onset and/or progression of several disease features including diminished glutamate reuptake (8), mitochondrial vacuolization (9), glial cell activation (10), endoplasmic reticulum stress (11), and impaired oxidative phosphorylation/ATP synthesis (12). Acidosis also activates acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), which, when excessively stimulated, promote intracellular Ca 2+ influx, neuroinflammation, axonal degeneration, demyelination, and neuronal death-features of several mouse disease models (6,7), including ALS.…”

Metabolic dysfunction is an important modulator of disease course in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We report here that a familial mouse model (transgenic mice over-expressing the G93A mutation of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 gene) of ALS enters a progressive state of acidosis that is associated with several metabolic (hormonal) alternations that favor lipolysis. Extensive investigation of the major determinants of H + concentration (i.e., the strong ion difference and the strong ion gap) suggests that acidosis is also due in part to the presence of an unknown anion. Consistent with a compensatory response to avert pathological acidosis, ALS mice harbor increased accumulation of glycogen in CNS and visceral tissues. The altered glycogen is associated with fluctuations in lysosomal and neutral α-glucosidase activities. Disease-related changes in glycogen, glucose, and α-glucosidase activity are also found in spinal cord tissue samples of autopsied patients with ALS. Collectively, these data provide insights into the pathogenesis of ALS as well as potential targets for drug development.

“…Cerebral ischemia in particular produces acidosis of variable degree, depending upon blood glucose levels, degree of blood flow reduction, and other factors. Severe acidosis, below pH 6.4, exacerbates ischemic injury (2) by mechanisms involving protein denaturation, acid-sensing calcium channels, and release of ferrous iron (3)(4)(5). Conversely, lesser degrees of acidosis, in the range of 7.0-6.5, reduce both ischemic injury (6) and glutamateinduced neuronal death (7).…”

Sustained activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) -type glutamate receptors leads to excitotoxic neuronal death in stroke, brain trauma, and neurodegenerative disorders. Superoxide production by NADPH oxidase is a requisite event in the process leading from NMDA receptor activation to excitotoxic death. NADPH oxidase generates intracellular H + along with extracellular superoxide, and the intracellular H + must be released or neutralized to permit continued NADPH oxidase function. In cultured neurons, NMDAinduced superoxide production and neuronal death were prevented by intracellular acidification by as little as 0.2 pH units, induced by either lowered medium pH or by inhibiting Na + /H + exchange. In mouse brain, superoxide production induced by NMDA injections or ischemia-reperfusion was likewise prevented by inhibiting Na + /H + exchange and by reduced expression of the Na + /H + exchanger-1 (NHE1). Neuronal intracellular pH and neuronal Na + /H + exchange are thus potent regulators of excitotoxic superoxide production. These findings identify a mechanism by which cell metabolism can influence coupling between NMDA receptor activation and superoxide production.any metabolic processes generate hydrogen ions, and hydrogen ions in turn influence cell metabolism and survival (1). Cerebral ischemia in particular produces acidosis of variable degree, depending upon blood glucose levels, degree of blood flow reduction, and other factors. Severe acidosis, below pH 6.4, exacerbates ischemic injury (2) by mechanisms involving protein denaturation, acid-sensing calcium channels, and release of ferrous iron (3-5). Conversely, lesser degrees of acidosis, in the range of 7.0-6.5, reduce both ischemic injury (6) and glutamateinduced neuronal death (7). These neuroprotective effects have been attributed to an inhibitory effect of hydrogen ions on NMDA receptor activation (8-10), but a causal link has not been demonstrated.Excessive activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptors leads to excitotoxic cell death in stroke and other neurological disorders (11,12). Superoxide production by NADPH oxidase is a requisite event in the process leading from NMDA receptor activation to excitotoxic cell death (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) Together, the pH sensitivity of NOX2 and the role of NOX2 in NMDA receptor-mediated cell death suggest the possibility that reduced intracellular pH might limit neurotoxicity by dissociating NMDA receptor activation from superoxide production. Findings presented here confirm that both the superoxide production and cell death resulting from neuronal NMDA receptor activation are highly pH sensitive. We show that neurons use Na + /H + exchange as a major route of proton efflux during NOX2 activation, and either genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of neuronal Na + /H + exchange prevent both excitotoxic superoxide production and cell death.
