Although zinc (Zn) is a known environmental toxicant, its impact on the cellular energy-producing machinery is not well established. This study investigated the influence of this divalent metal on the oxidative ATP producing network in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Zn-challenged cells contained more oxidized proteins and lipids compared with control cells. Zn severely impeded mitochondrial functions by inhibiting aconitase, a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase-NAD(+) dependent, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome C oxidase Zn-exposed cells had a disparate mitochondrial metabolism compared with the control cells and produced significantly less ATP. However, the expression of isocitrate dehydrogenase-NADP(+) dependent was more prominent in cells treated with Zn. Hence, Zn-induced pathologies may be due to the inability of the mitochondria to generate energy effectively. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
