Bendavia is a cytoprotective mitochondria-targeting peptide [1-4], currently being tested in the EMBRACE-STEMI trial for reducing injury during acute coronary syndromes. We previously showed that the cardioprotective effects of Bendavia involved improving cardiolipin-dependent mitochondrial membrane fluidity. As membrane fluidity influences the ability of proteins to assemble, we hypothesized that a consequence of augmented membrane fluidity would be higher expression of mitochondrial respiratory supercomplexes. Rat hearts (N=42) were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) with our without 1 nM Bendavia perfusion, beginning at the onset of reperfusion. Left ventricular tissue was split into one of two study arms: 1. Supercomplex expression using blue-native gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE), or 2. High-resolution respirometry using permeabilized ventricular fibers. For BN-PAGE studies, respiratory supercomplex bands were decreased with I/R, and restored with Bendavia (Fig. 1). High-resolution respirometry studies indicated suppressed Complex I-dependent respiration after I/R (208±19 v 42±9 pmol O2∙s-1.mg-1) in control v I/R, respectively; P<0.05. Complex II-dependent respiration was also lower (753±41 v 168±13 pmol∙s-1∙mg-1 in control versus I/R; P<0.05). Perfusion with Bendavia during reperfusion significantly increased Complex I- (100±13 pmol O2∙s-1.mg-1) and II-dependent (334±63 pmol O2∙s-1.mg-1) respiration (P<0.05 versus untreated IR for both). Taken together, these data suggest that Bendavia’s protective mechanism of action involves preserving supercomplex-dependent mitochondrial function during cardiac reperfusion.
