S-15176, a potent derivative of the anti-ischemic agent trimetazidine, was reported to have multiple effects on the metabolism of mitochondria. In the present work, the effect of S-15176 (1.5 mg/kg/day i.p.) on the ultrastructure and functions of liver mitochondria of C57BL/6 mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by a high-fat diet combined with a low-dose streptozotocin injection was examined. An electron microscopy study showed that T2DM induced mitochondrial swelling and a reduction in the number of liver mitochondria. The number of mtDNA copies in the liver in T2DM decreased. The expression of Drp1 slightly increased, and that of Mfn2 and Opa1 somewhat decreased. The treatment of diabetic animals with S-15176 prevented the mitochondrial swelling, normalized the average mitochondrial size, and significantly decreased the content of the key marker of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde in liver mitochondria. In S-15176-treated T2DM mice, a two-fold increase in the expression of the PGC-1α and a slight decrease in Drp 1 expression in the liver were observed. The respiratory control ratio, the level of mtDNA, and the number of liver mitochondria of S-15176-treated diabetic mice tended to restore. S-15176 did not affect the decrease in expression of Parkin and Opa1 in the liver of diabetic animals, but slightly suppressed the expression of these proteins in the control. The modulatory effect of S-15176 on dysfunction of liver mitochondria in T2DM can be related to the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the organelles.
