Coenzyme Q10 is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. In its reduced form, it acts as an antioxidant. Coenzyme Q2 is a precursor of coenzyme Q10 that has 2, rather than 10, isoprenoid units on the ubiquinone base. It can act as an electron acceptor for bacterial Complex I. In mammalian cells, exogenous coenzyme Q2 prevents the production of reactive oxygen species associated with Complex I activity. Forms of coenzyme Q with shorter isoprenoid chains, including coenzyme Q2, induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human B-cell acute lymphoblastoid leukemia BALL-1 cells.

Coenzyme Q2 induced p53-dependent apoptosis
Biochim Biophys Acta 2005 Jun 20;1724(1-2):49-58.PMID:15905035DOI:10.1016/j.bbagen.2005.04.013.
Coenzyme Q functions as an electron carrier and reversibly changes to either an oxidized (CoQ), intermediate (CoQ.-), or reduced (CoQH2) form within a biomembrane. The CoQH2 form also acts as an antioxidant and prevents cell death, and thus has been successfully used as a supplement. On the other hand, the value of the CoQ/CoQH2 ratio has been shown to increase in a number of diseases, presumably due to an anti-proliferative effect involving CoQ. In the present study, we examined the effect of CoQ and its isoprenoid side chain length variants on the growth of cells having different p53 statuses. Treatment with CoQs having shorter isoprenoid chains, especially CoQ2, induced apoptosis in p53-point mutated BALL-1 cells, whereas treatment with longer isoprenoid chains did not. However, CoQ2 did not induce apoptosis in either a p53 wild-type cell line or a p53 null mutant cell line. These results indicated that the induction of apoptosis by CoQ2 was dependent on p53 protein levels. Moreover, CoQ2 induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phosphorylation of p53. An antioxidant, l-ascorbic acid, inhibited CoQ2-induced p53 phosphorylation and further apoptotic stimuli. Overall, these results suggested that short tail CoQ induces ROS generation and further p53-dependent apoptosis.
New animal models reveal that Coenzyme Q2 (Coq2) and placenta-specific 8 (Plac8) are candidate genes for the onset of type 2 diabetes associated with obesity in rats
Mamm Genome 2015 Dec;26(11-12):619-29.PMID:26296322DOI:10.1007/s00335-015-9597-4.
Obesity is a major risk factor for the onset of type 2 diabetes; however, little is known about the gene(s) involved. Therefore, we developed new animal models of obesity to search for diabetogenic genes associated with obesity. We generated double congenic rat strains with a hyperglycaemic quantitative trait locus (QTL) derived from the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat and a fa/fa (Lepr-/-) locus derived from the Zucker Fatty rat; phenotypic analysis for plasma glucose and insulin levels and RNA and protein levels were determined using reverse transcription quantitative PCR and Western blotting analyses, respectively. The double congenic strain F344-fa-nidd2 (Lepr-/- and Nidd2/of) exhibited significantly higher glucose levels and significantly lower hypoglycaemic response to insulin than the obese control strain F344-fa (Lepr-/-). These phenotypes were clearly observed in the obese strains but not in the lean strains. These results indicate that the Nidd2/of locus harbours a diabetogenic gene associated with obesity. We measured the expression of 60 genes in the Nidd2/of QTL region between the strains and found that the mRNA expression levels of five genes were significantly different between the strains under the condition of obesity. However, three of the five genes were differentially expressed in both obese and lean rats, indicating that these genes are not specific for the condition of obesity. Conversely, the other two genes, Coenzyme Q2 (Coq2) and placenta-specific 8 (Plac8), were differentially expressed only in the obese rats, suggesting that these two genes are candidates for the onset of type 2 diabetes associated with obesity in rats.
Opposite and tissue-specific effects of Coenzyme Q2 on mPTP opening and ROS production between heart and liver mitochondria: role of complex I
J Mol Cell Cardiol 2012 May;52(5):1091-5.PMID:22387164DOI:10.1016/j.yjmcc.2012.02.005.
Coenzyme Q(2) (CoQ(2)) is known to inhibit mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening in isolated rat liver mitochondria. In this study, we investigated and compared the effects of CoQ(2) on mPTP opening and ROS production in isolated rabbit heart and rat liver mitochondria. Mitochondria were isolated from New Zealand White rabbit hearts and Wistar rat livers. Oxygen consumption, Ca(2+)-induced mPTP opening, ROS production and NADH DUb-reductase activity were measured. Rotenone was used to investigate the effect of CoQ(2) on respiratory complex I activity. CoQ(2) (23 μM) reduced the respiratory control index by 32% and 57% (p<0.01) in heart and liver mitochondria respectively, mainly through an increased oxygen consumption in state 4. CoQ(2) induced a 60% (p<0.05) decrease of calcium retention capacity (CRC) in heart mitochondria and inversely a 46% (p<0.05) increase in liver mitochondria. In basal condition, CoQ(2) induced a 170% (p<0.05) increase of H(2)O(2) production in heart mitochondria and 21% (ns) decrease of H(2)O(2) production in liver mitochondria. Because rotenone, a complex I inhibitor, increases H(2)O(2) production in heart but not in liver mitochondria we investigated the CoQ(2) effect in a dose-response assay of complex I inhibition by rotenone in both mitochondria. CoQ(2) antagonized the effect of rotenone on respiratory complex I activity in liver but not in heart mitochondria. CoQ(2) significantly reduced NADH DUb-reductase activity in liver (-47%) and heart (-37%) mitochondria. In conclusion, our data showed that on the contrary to what was observed in liver mitochondria, CoQ(2) favors mPTP opening and ROS production in heart mitochondria through an opposite effect on respiratory complex I activity.
Coenzyme Q2 is a universal substrate for the measurement of respiratory chain enzyme activities in trypanosomatids
Parasite 2019;26:17.PMID:30901308DOI:10.1051/parasite/2019017.
The measurement of respiratory chain enzyme activities is an integral part of basic research as well as for specialized examinations in clinical biochemistry. Most of the enzymes use ubiquinone as one of their substrates. For current in vitro measurements, several hydrophilic analogues of native ubiquinone are used depending on the enzyme and the workplace. We tested five readily available commercial analogues and we showed that Coenzyme Q2 is the most suitable for the measurement of all tested enzyme activities. Use of a single substrate in all laboratories for several respiratory chain enzymes will improve our ability to compare data, in addition to simplifying the stock of chemicals required for this type of research.
