Recent evidence indicates that 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP), a marker enzyme of myelin and oligodendrocytes, is also present in neural and nonneural mitochondria. However, its role in mitochondria is still completely unclear. We found CNP in rat brain mitochondria and studied the effects of CNP substrates, 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides, on functional parameters of rat brain mitochondria. 2',3'-cAMP and 2',3'-cNADP stimulated Ca(2+) overload-induced Ca(2+) release from mitochondrial matrix. This Ca(2+) release under threshold Ca(2+) load correlated with membrane potential dissipation and mitochondrial swelling. The effects of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides were suppressed by cyclosporin A, a potent inhibitor of permeability transition (PT). PT development is a key stage in initiation of apoptotic mitochondria-induced cell death. 2',3'-cAMP effects were observed on the functions of rat brain mitochondria only when PT was developed. This demonstrates involvement of 2',3'-cAMP in PT regulation in rat brain mitochondria. We also discovered that, under PT development, the specific enzymatic activity of CNP was reduced. Thus we hypothesize that suppression of CNP activity under threshold Ca(2+) load leads to elevation of 2',3'-cAMP levels that, in turn, promote PT development in rat brain mitochondria. Similar effects of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides were observed in rat liver mitochondria. Involvement of CNP in PT regulation was confirmed in experiments using mitochondria from CNP-knockdown oligodendrocytes (OLN93 cells). CNP reduction in these mitochondria correlated with lowering the threshold for Ca(2+) overload-induced Ca(2+) release. Thus our results reveal a new function for CNP and 2',3'-cAMP in mitochondria, being a regulator/promotor of mitochondrial PT.
