pH-dependent nonlysosomal proteolysis contributes to lethal anoxic injury of rat hepatocytes
Abstract
Our aim was to test the hypothesis that pH-dependent nonlysosomal proteolysis is a key mechanism culminating in lethal anoxic injury of rat hepatocytes. Although lysosomal proteolysis was suppressed during anoxia, total nonlysosomal proteolysis was increased twofold compared with aerobic controls. Extracellular acidosis inhibited total nonlysosomal proteolysis and improved cell survival during anoxia. Indeed, we found a direct highly significant linear relationship between cell death and total nonlysosomal proteolysis as modulated by changes in the extracellular pH (r = 0.99, P < 0.01). Glycolytic generation of ATP from fructose during anoxia suppressed total nonlysosomal proteolysis and improved cell survival. An increase in a pH-dependent calpain-like protease activity was also identified during anoxia, but calpain-like protease activity only accounted for 16% of total nonlysosomal protease activity. In addition, the calpain protease inhibitor Cbz-Leu-Leu-Tyr-CHN2 only partially protected against cell killing despite complete inhibition of calpain-like protease activity. These data suggest that pH-dependent total nonlysosomal proteolysis contributes to lethal cell injury during anoxia. However, calpain protease activity only partially contributes to total nonlysosomal protease activity and cell death.
