Enhanced anti-oxidant protection of liver membranes in long-lived rats fed on a coenzyme Q10-supplemented diet.

Abstract:

:Coenzyme Q10 supplementation increases life-span of rats fed on a diet enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (Quiles, J.L., Ochoa, J.J., Huertas, J.R., Mataix, J., 2004b. Coenzyme Q supplementation protects from age-related DNA double-strand breaks and increased lifespan in rats fed on a PUFA-rich diet. Exp. Gerontol. 39, 189-194). Our study was set as a first attempt to establish a mechanistic link between life span extension and CoQ10 supplementation. When rats were fed on a PUFAn-6 plus CoQ10 diet, levels of CoQ10 were increased in plasma membrane at every time point compared to control rats fed on a PUFAn-6-alone diet. Ratios of CoQ9 to CoQ10 were significantly lower at every time point in both liver plasma membranes and homogenates of CoQ10-supplemented animals. CoQ10 supplementation did not affect cytosolic NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), which increased significantly with aging, but plasma membrane-bound NQO1 decreased significantly in the CoQ10-supplemented group at 12 months, when maximal incorporation of exogenous CoQ10 was observed. Neither aging nor the diet affected NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase levels. Glutathione-dependent anti-oxidant activities such as cytosolic glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and microsomal Se-independent glutathione peroxidase decreased with aging and supplementation with CoQ10 attenuated this decay. 2,2' Azobis amidinopropane (AAPH)-induced oxidation of membranes was significantly higher in aged rats, and supplementation with CoQ10 also inhibited this increase. Consistent with higher CoQ10 levels and enhanced anti-oxidant protection, plasma membrane Mg2+-dependent neutral sphingomyelinase was inhibited by dietary CoQ10 in aged rats. Our results support the involvement of thiol-dependent mechanisms in the potentiation of the anti-oxidant capacity of membranes in CoQ10-supplemented rats, further supporting the potentially beneficial anti-oxidative role of dietary CoQ10 during aging. The possibility that a decreased CoQ9/CoQ10 ratio in animals fed on the PUFAn-6-rich plus CoQ10 diet could also influence longevity is also discussed.
