Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are material with exclusive features that can be applied in different fields including industrial and medicine. It has been determined that the accumulation of MWCNTs in the organs is along with genotoxic and cytotoxic injuries. Previous studies have shown mitochondrial dysfunction in MWCNTs exposure with cell lines, but their exact mechanisms with isolated mitochondria have remained unclear. The present study evaluated toxicity induced by MWCNTs in isolated rat heart mitochondria and protective effect of naringin. Our results showed that MWCNTs toxicity caused the prevention of heart mitochondrial complex II activity. Treatment of isolated heart mitochondria with MWCNTs led to an increase in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse, and mitochondrial malondialdehyde (MDA) and a decrease in mitochondrial glutathione (GSH) level and mitochondrial catalase (CAT) activity. Pretreatment of isolated heart mitochondria with naringin decreased mitochondrial oxidative damage through decreasing lipid peroxidation, returned mitochondrial complex II changes, decreasing MMP collapse and ROS production, and restoration of GSH level and CAT activity. Our findings indicated that MWCNTs had toxic effects on isolated heart mitochondria by inducing oxidative stress and possibly apoptosis pathway. The protection effects of naringin may be accompanied by mitochondrial conservation by its antioxidant property or due to its free radical scavenging. Our findings indicated that naringin had a possible role in preventing the mitochondria complaints in the heart.
