Description We have investigated the role of mitochondria on the development of indomethacin (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug)-induced gastric mucosal apoptosis and associated gastropathy in rat. Transmission electron microscopic studies indicate that indomethacin damages mitochondrial ultrastructure and causes mitochondrial dysfunction as evident from decreased stage-3 respiration, dehydrogenase activity, and transmembrane potential (��m). Mitochondrial pathology is associated with increased generation of intra-mitochondrial-reactive oxygen species, such as O2 . , H2O2 and �OH, leading to oxidative stress. O2 . is the most effective to damage mitochondrial aconitase, leading to the release of iron from its iron-sulfur cluster. The released iron, by interacting with intra-mitochondrial H2O2, forms �OH. Immunoprecipitation of mitochondrial aconitase and subsequent Western immunoblotting indicate carbonylation of aconitase along with the loss of activity in vivo after indomethacin treatment. The release of iron has been documented by fluorescence imaging of mucosal cells by using Phen Green SK, a specific probe for chelatable iron. Interestingly, intra-mitochondrial �OH generation is crucial for the development of mitochondrial pathology and activation of mitochondrial death pathway by indomethacin. Scavenging of �OH by dimethyl sulfoxide or �-phenyl-n-tert-butylnitrone, a spin-trap, prevents indomethacin-induced mitochondrial ultrastructural changes, oxidative stress, collapse of ��m, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The scavengers also restore indomethacin-induced activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 to block mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and gastric mucosal damage. This study, thus, reveals the critical role of O2 . -mediated mitochondrial aconitase inactivation to release intra-mitochondrial iron, which by generating �OHpromotes gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and gastropathy during indomethacin treatment.
