title: Calcium sensitive isocitrate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase activities in rat liver and AS-30D hepatoma mitochondria.
abstract: NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase in extracts of mitochondria from the highly malignant AS-30D rat hepatoma cell line demonstrate Ca2+ sensitivities and affinities for substrates similar to those of normal liver mitochondria. However, the maximal activities of NAD+- and NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase were found to be 8 and 3.5 fold higher in hepatoma mitochondrial extracts than those of liver mitochondria, whereas maximal activities of succinate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenases were similar in the two tissues. At pyridine nucleotide concentrations giving the lowest physiological NADH/NAD+ ratio, NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in hepatoma mitochondrial extracts was completely inhibited at subsaturating concentrations of Ca2+, substrate, and NAD+, in contrast to rat liver mitochondrial extracts which retained significant activity.
