The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) transduces stress signals from the plasma membrane to the nucleus but has recently also been identified in mitochondria. Inhibition of cardiomyocyte mitochondrial STAT3 with the STAT3-specific inhibitor Stattic decreases ADP-stimulated respiration and enhances calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether or not these effects of STAT3 inhibition by Stattic are mediated by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).The H2O2 formation from isolated rat left ventricular mitochondria was measured continuously in the presence of the complex 1 substrates glutamate and malate using the H2O2 indicator Amplex UltraRed. Stattic dose-dependently increased mitochondrial ROS formation (slope of Amplex UltraRed fluorescence/ time; DMSO: 0.39 +/- 0.01; 1 mu M Stattic: 0.40 +/- 0.03; 10 mu M Stattic: 0.71 +/- 0.04; 25 mu M Stattic: 1.43 +/- 0.05; 50 mu M Stattic: 3.53 +/- 0.23; 100 mu M Stattic: 9.23 +/- 0.69, n= 5 mitochondrial preparations, p
