Reactive oxygen species are generated by the respiratory complex II – evidence for lack of contribution of the reverse electron flow in complex I

Abstract: Succinate-driven oxidation via complex II (CII) may have a significant contribution towards the high rates of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria. Here, we show that the CII Q site inhibitor thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) blocks succinate + rotenone-driven ROS production, whereas the complex III (CIII) Qo inhibitor stigmatellin has no effect, indicating that CII, not CIII, is the ROS-producing site. The complex I (CI) inhibitor rotenone partially reduces the ROS production driven by hig… Show more

“…Mitochondrial complex II oxidizes succinate to fumarate as part of the Krebs cycle and reduces ubiquinone in the electron transport system. Succinate-driven oxidation via complex II may contribute significantly to high rates of production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) by mitochondria [36,37].…”

“…Many studies reported that critical sites for electron leakage were the ubiquinone binding sites of complex I and complex III, and that of complex II were negligible [13,14]. Some studies also suggest that ROS would be produced from complex II and complex IV [15,16]. However, the mechanism of how excess ROS is produced in hepatic mitochondria exposed to Cr(VI) has not been elaborated clearly.…”

“…However, the detailed mechanism of the effect of complex II on HCC progression remains to be elucidated. Complex II contributes significantly to the production of ROS (14,15), which may explain the strong association between complex II and HCC development. The levels of complex II and ROS demonstrated no association in the present analysis, suggesting that an alternative mechanism may regulate the generation of ROS in patients with HCC.…”
