To delineate temporal changes in the integrity and function of mitochondria/cardiomyocytes in hearts from mice exposed in utero to commonly used nucleoside analogs (NRTIs), CD-1 mice were exposed in utero to 80 mg AZT/kg, 40 mg 3TC/kg, 80 mg AZT/kg plus 40 mg 3TC/kg, or vehicle alone during days 12–18 of gestation and hearts from female mouse offspring were examined at 13 and 26 weeks postpartum. Alterations in cardiac mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) enzyme activities, mtDNA mutations, and echocardiography of NRTI-exposed mice were assessed and compared with findings in vehicle-exposed control mice. A hybrid capture-chemiluminescence assay showed significant twofold increases in mtDNA levels in hearts from AZT- and AZT/3TC-exposed mice at 13 and 26 weeks postpartum, consistent with near doubling in mitochondrial numbers over time compared with vehicle-exposed mice. Echocardiographic measurements at 13 and 26 weeks postpartum indicated progressive thinning of the left ventricular posterior wall in NRTI-exposed mice, relative to controls, with differences becoming statistically significant by 26 weeks. Overall, progressive functional changes occurred in mouse mitochondria and cardiac tissue several months after in utero NRTI exposures; AZT and 3TC acted in concert to cause additive cardiotoxic effects of AZT/3TC compared with either drug alone.  相似文献

The current study was designed to delineate temporal changes in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria at the light and electron microscopic levels in hearts of mice exposed transplacentally to commonly used nucleoside analogs (NRTIs). Pregnant CD-1 mice were given 80 mg AZT/kg, 40 mg 3TC/kg, 80 mg AZT/kg plus 40 mg 3TC/kg, or vehicle alone during the last 7 days of gestation, and hearts from female mouse pups were examined at 13 and 26 weeks postpartum for histopathological or ultrastructural changes in cross-sections of both the ventricles and the interventricular septum. Using light microscopy and special staining techniques, transplacental exposure to AZT, 3TC, or AZT/3TC was shown to induce significant histopathological changes in myofibrils; these changes were more widespread at 13 weeks than at 26 weeks postpartum. While most light microscopic lesions resolved, some became more severe between 13 and 26 weeks postpartum. Transplacental NRTI exposure also resulted in progressive drug-specific changes in the number and ultrastructural integrity of cardiac mitochondria. These light and electron microscopic findings show that a subset of changes in cardiac mitochondria and myofibrils persisted and progressed months after transplacental exposure of an animal model to NRTIs, with combined AZT/3TC exposure yielding additive effects compared with either drug alone.  相似文献

This study was designed to investigate fetal mitochondrial toxicity in Erythrocebus patas monkeys exposed in utero to zidovudine (AZT) and lamivudine (3TC), and taken at term. Pregnant patas monkeys were given a daily dose of 40 mg AZT (86% of the human daily dose, based on body weight), for the last 10 weeks (50%) of gestation, and a daily dose of 24 mg 3TC (84% of the human daily dose, based on body weight) for the last 4 weeks of gestation. At term, AZT was found to be incorporated into fetal mitochondrial DNA from skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, and placenta. By transmission electron microscopy (EM) drug-exposed fetal cardiac and skeletal muscle cells showed mitochondrial membrane compromise, mitochondrial proliferation, and damaged sarcomeres, while mitochondria in brain cerebrum and cerebellum were morphologically normal. Substantial depletion of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) Complex I specific activities was observed in heart (87% reduction in mean, p = 0.02) and skeletal muscle (98% reduction in mean, p = 0.002) from drug-exposed fetuses, compared to unexposed fetuses. In addition Complex IV activity was highly depleted (85% reduction in mean, p = 0.004) in skeletal muscle from the drug-exposed fetuses (p = 0.004). Brain cerebrum and cerebellum showed no statistically significant OXPHOS changes with drug exposure. Mitochondrial DNA quantity was substantially depleted (>50%) in heart, skeletal muscle, cerebellum, and cerebrum from drug-exposed fetuses compared to unexposed controls. Overall, the data indicate that significant mitochondrial damage was observed at birth in monkey fetuses exposed in utero to AZT plus 3TC in a human-equivalent dosing protocol.  相似文献

Mitochondrial:nuclear DNA (mtDNA:nDNA) ratios in blood cells were investigated in relation to selected human immunodeficiency virus antiretroviral drug regimens. Patients (n = 214) continually received a regimen consisting of either (1) saquinavir (SAQ) + ritonavir (RTV) + either nevirapine (NVP) or lamivudine (3TC) (n=32) or (2) SAQ+RTV (+/- either NVP or 3TC) + either stavudine (d4T) (n=127), didanosine (ddI) (n=19), d4T+ddI (n=21), or zidovudine (ZDV) (n=15), for >/=4 months. NVP- or 3TC-only regimens were associated with median mtDNA:nDNA ratios that were significantly higher than those for ddI- and d4T+ddI-containing regimens (P<.01) but that were not significantly higher than those for d4T- or ZDV-containing regimens. Patients received thymidine analogue- and/or ddI-containing regimens for a shorter time (median, 14 vs. 24 months; P<.01). Because of survivor-bias effect, these results may represent a conservative estimate of these nucleosides' effect on mtDNA.  相似文献

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been reported to be free of adverse effects on mitochondria. We evaluate the effects of the introduction of TDF in a didanosine (ddI)-based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, mitochondrial mass (MM), and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system over a 12-month period. Forty-four asymptomatic HIV patients with undetectable viral load receiving a ddI-based HAART were recruited and switched to ddI plus TDF (ddI + TDF) and nevirapine (n = 22) or maintained with the same baseline ddIbased HAART scheme (n = 22). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained at 0, 6, and 12 months. COX activity and MM were determined by spectrophotometry and the mtDNA content by quantitative realtime PCR. The mtDNA content showed a progressive decrease over the 12-month period of the study for the two groups with respect to baseline, with such a decrease statistically significant only in the ddI + TDF group (55% decrease, p < 0.001). In addition, the decrease of mtDNA content over time was statistically different between both groups (p < 0.001). Consistently, MM and COX activity decreased significantly at 12 months with respect to baseline only in the ddI < TDF group (28% decrease for MM, p < 0.05; 47% decrease for COX activity, p < 0.001). We conclude that switching to a HAART regimen containing ddI + TDF is associated with evolutive mitochondrial damage expressed as mtDNA depletion, loss of MM, and decrease in COX efficiency. The particular relevance of either ddI, TDF, or any interaction between them in such a mitochondrial dysfunction remains to be established.  相似文献

Although nucleoside analogs as a group inhibit mtDNA replication, individually they target specific organs for toxicity. For example, dideoxyinosine(ddI) is most closely associated with clinical pancreatitis and dideoxycytosine (ddC) with peripheral neuropathy. Comparison of the differential effects of these analogs on mitochondrial function in relevant human cell lines could provide general clues as to the mechanisms of their differential toxicity. We compared the effects of ddI [and its intracellular metabolite dideoxyadenosine (ddA)], with other nucleoside analogs ddC, Azidothymidine (AZT) and didehydrodeoxythymidine(d4T) on mtDNA elongation, cytotoxicity, oxidative phosphorylation, and cellular ATP concentration in a human pancreatic cell line, Capan-1 cells. AZT, like all the other analogs tested, altered mtDNA elongation, but had no other effect on these cells. Both ddC and d4T, but not ddI (20 m and 50 M), reduced total dish protein (a measure of cell numbers) in cells grown to confluence. The effect of ddA was intermediate. All (except AZT) increased lactate concentration in the cell culture medium. Dideoxycytosine (ddC) and d4T did not significantly affect cell oxygen consumption, expressed as a fraction of total dish protein. By contrast, ddI and ddA reduced basal and/or FCCP-stimulated oxygen consumption. %Dideoxycytosine (ddC) but not ddI or ddA (50 M) was cytotoxic to cells after six days of growth. Nevertheless, the ATP content (expressed as a fraction of surviving cells) for ddC-, ddI-, and ddA-treated cells was similar to control cells. Cytotoxicity was apparent for ddI, ddA, as well as ddC after seven days. Paradoxically, cell ATP content was now significantly higher than control cells. Electron microscopy of cells treated with ddI confirmed significant ultrastructural changes affecting the inner mitochondria membrane and cristae. In conclusion, these data suggest that nucleoside analogs uniformly induce damage to mtDNA. However, the mitochondrial phenotypic damage induced by ddI and ddA appear to result in less Capan-1 cytotoxicity than ddC and d4T. The link between these differential effects and ddI pancreatitis is unclear.  相似文献

Data from a major new trial called START II (Selection of Thymidine Analog Therapy), was presented at this year's Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) conference. One trial compared d4T/ddI/IDV combination therapy with AZT/3TC/IDV in treatment-naive individuals. A second trial, CNA 3003, compared triple NRTI therapy with AZT/3TC/abacavir to dual therapy with AZT/3TC; patients who added abacavir to the treatment showed decreased viral loads. Additional clinical trials using 3TC are detailed. Drug resistance, investigational agents, HIV diagnostic testing, and opportunistic infections are also discussed.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetic basis of a drug interaction between zidovudine (AZT) and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddI) was investigated in normal monkeys. Five animals received 20 mg/kg of AZT intragastrically in the absence and presence of ddI. ddI was administered intravenously to produce steady-state ddI plasma concentrations for 30 min. Plasma and urine samples were analyzed for AZT, its major glucuronide metabolite, GAZT, and ddI by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Resultant AZT and GAZT concentration data were analyzed by noncompartmental methods. Statistical analysis indicated no differences in AZT's apparent total clearance, apparent volume of distribution at steady-state, and elimination half-life due to ddI, however, the mean apparent total clearance decreased from 2.92 to 1.67 L/h/kg, and the mean apparent volume of distribution at steady-state decreased from 5.79 to 3.43 L/kg in the presence of ddI. Incomplete urine collections in most animals prevented conclusions from being made about ddI's effect on renal elimination parameters. Nonetheless, the urinary GAZT/AZT ratio, a parameter not influenced by incomplete urine collection, was significantly reduced in the presence of ddI. Although additional studies will be useful to characterize the full importance of the interaction, there is evidence to suggest that both renal and metabolic elimination of AZT and renal elimination of GAZT may be inhibited by ddI.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Comparison of stavudine (d4T), didanosine (ddI) and indinavir (IDV) with zidovudine (ZDV), lamivudine (3TC) and IDV in HIV-1 infected patients. DESIGN: Randomized, open-label. SETTING: Fourteen HIV Clinical Research Centers. PATIENTS: Two-hundred and five patients with less than 4 weeks antiretroviral treatment, naive to 3TC and protease inhibitors and with CD4 cell counts > or = 200 x 10(6)/l and plasma HIV-1 RNA levels > or = 10,000 copies/ml. INTERVENTIONS: Stavudine 40 mg and ddI 200 mg twice daily plus IDV 800 mg every 8 h compared with ZDV 200 mg every 8 h or 300 mg twice daily, 3TC 150 mg twice daily plus IDV. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels < 500 copies/ml and < or = 50 copies/ml and changes in CD4 cell counts were compared. RESULTS: In an analysis of the primary endpoint, 61% of patients on d4T + ddI + IDV and 45% of patients on ZDV + 3TC + IDV had all HIV-1 RNA values obtained between weeks 40 and 48 < 500 copies/ml [95% confidence interval (CI) for the difference between proportions, 1.7-30.3%; P = 0.038]. In an intent-to-treat analysis, the percentage of all patients randomized with all HIV-1 RNA levels < 500 copies/ml between 40 and 48 weeks were 53% for the d4T + ddI + IDV arm and 41% for the ZDV + 3TC + IDV arm (95% CI, -1.4% to 25.7%; P = 0.068). At 48 weeks 41% and 35% were < or = 50 copies/ml for the stavudine- and ZDV-containing arms respectively (P > 0.2). The median time-weighted average increases in CD4 cells count over 48 weeks were 150 x 10(6)/l cells for the d4T arm and 106 x 10(6)/l cells for the ZDV arm (P= 0.001). The occurrence of serious adverse events was not significantly different between arms. CONCLUSION: The combination of stavudine, ddl and IDV resulted in potent antiretroviral effects over a 48-week period, comparable or superior to zidovudine, 3TC and IDV supporting the use of stavudine, ddI and a protease inhibitor as an initial antiretroviral treatment.  相似文献
