Objective To assess in vitro if uridine may be suitable to prevent or treat mitochondrial toxicity related to nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Methods Human HepG2-hepatocytes were exposed to NRTIs with or without uridine for 25 days. Cell growth, lactate production, intracellular lipids, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the ratio between the respiratory chain components COX II (mtDNA-encoded) and COX IV (nuclear-encoded) were measured. Results HepG2 cells exposed to zalcitabine (177 nM) without uridine developed a severe depletion of mtDNA (to 8% of wild-type mtDNA levels), resulting in a decline of cell proliferation and COX II levels, with increased lactate and lipid accumulation. Uridine fully abrogated the adverse effects of zalcitabine on hepatocyte proliferation and normalized lactate synthesis, intracellular lipids and COX II levels by adjusting mtDNA levels to about 65% of NRTI-unexposed control cells. This effect was dose-dependent, with a maximum at 200 μM of uridine. Uridine also rapidly and fully restored cell function when added to cells with established mitochondrial dysfunction (zalcitabine for 15 days) despite continued zalcitabine exposure. Uridine also normalized cell proliferation in HepG2 cells exposed to 36 μM of stavudine and protected HepG2-cells exposed to 7 μM of zidovudine + 8 μM of lamivudine (pyrimidine analogues), but failed to improve cell function or mtDNA in cells exposed to 11.8 or 118 μM of didanosine (a purine analogue). Conclusions The pyrimidine precursor uridine may attenuate the mitochondrial toxicity of antiretroviral pyrimidine NRTIs in vitro, and its supplementation may represent a promising strategy in the prevention or treatment of mitochondrial toxicities in HIV-infected patients.
