The intracellular potassium concentration, [K+], varies depending on tissue type and is about 60 mM in kidney proximal tubular cells whereas it is approximately 120 mM in cardiac myocytes. Intracellular [K+] may therefore affect mitochondria function.
By measuring the respiratory function and swelling of mitochondria isolated from kidney cortex and heart at [K+] ranging from 15 mM to 146 mM we showed that [K+] controls mitochondria function in the heart. Increasing [K+] resulted in increased resting state respiration and decreased respiratory control ratio (RCR) in kidney cortex mitochondria. The reduced RCR corresponded with mitochondria swelling, indicating failing mitochondria. The effects of K+ in kidney mitochondria was prevented by inhibitors of ATP-sensitive K+-channels and voltage-gated K+-channels (glibenclamide and by 4-aminopyridine, respectively). On the contrary, RCR in heart mitochondria increased with increasing [K+] and was unaffected by K+channel inhibitors.
These results demonstrate [K+] control of mitochondria function in rat kidney and heart.
