A. Uncoupled respiration in non-injured and TBHP-injured
RPTC expressing the constitutively active (caPKCε) or inactive
(dnPKCε) mutants of PKCε. B-D: State 3 respiration
coupled to the oxidation of electron donors to complex I (B),
complex II (C), and complex IV (D) of the electron
transport chain in non-injured and TBHP-injured RPTC expressing the
constitutively active (caPKCε) or inactive (dnPKCε) mutants of
PKCε. State 3 was measured in digitonin-permeabilized RPTC energized with
5 mM glutamate + 5 mM malate (B), 10 mM succinate + 0.1 μM
rotenone (C), and 1 mM ascorbate + 1 mM
N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (D) at 4
hours after TBHP (0.35 mM) exposure (45 min). Results are the average ±
S.E. of 3–7 independent experiments (RPTC isolations). Values with
dissimilar superscripts at a given time point are significantly different
(p<0.05) from controls and from each other.
