| Abstract | Predominant accumulation of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) in tissues and biological fluids is a characteristic of patients affected by short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and ethylmalonic encephalopathy. Neurological abnormalities are frequently found in these disorders, but the mechanisms underlying the brain injury are still obscure. Since hyperlacticacidemia is also found in many affected patients indicating a mitochondrial dysfunction; in the present work, we evaluated the in vitro and ex vivo effects of EMA plus Ca$^{2+}$ on mitochondrial integrity and redox balance in succinate-supported brain organelles. We verified that the evaluated parameters were disturbed only when EMA was associated with exogenous micromolar Ca$^{2+}$ concentrations. Thus, we found that this short chain organic acid plus Ca$^{2+}$ dissipated the membrane potential and provoked mitochondrial swelling, as well as impaired the mitochondrial Ca$^{2+}$ retention capacity, resulting in a rapid Ca$^{2+}$ release and decreased NAD(P)H matrix content. In contrast, EMA was not able to stimulate mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide generation. We also observed that all these effects were prevented by the mitochondrial Ca$^{2+}$ uptake inhibitor ruthenium red and the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) inhibitors cyclosporin A (CsA) and ADP. Furthermore, mitochondria isolated from rat brains after in vivo intrastriatal administration of EMA was more susceptible to Ca$^{2+}$-induced swelling, which was fully prevented by CsA and ADP. Finally, EMA significantly decreased striatal slice viability, which was attenuated by CsA. The data strongly indicate that EMA reduced the mitochondrial threshold for Ca$^{2+}$-induced MPT reinforcing the role of this cation in EMA-induced disruption of mitochondrial bioenergetics. It is, therefore, presumed that EMA acting synergistically with Ca$^{2+}$ compromises mitochondrial energy homeostasis in the central nervous system that may explain at least in part the neurologic alterations presented by patients with abnormal levels of this organic acid. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
