Abstract:

Fig. 7A. Substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocol with substrates for fatty acid oxidation (FAO), NADH-pathway (N), and succinate-pathway (S). Superimposed oxygraph traces (mass-specific oxygen flux [pmol O2∙s-1∙mg-1 mw]) from parallel measurements in two chambers with permeabilized fibers from a biopsy of human vastus lateralis, 3.4 and 2.8 mg mw in the left and right O2k-Chamber. U indicates uncoupler titrations; 1 µM FCCP was the optimum concentration stimulating maximum oxygen flux. Oxygen flux is not shown during a few minutes after oxygenations by oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, when the calculation of slopes is disturbed by the step changes in oxygen concentration. 37 °C, MiR06, 2 mL chambers; experiment 2010-03-04 CD-01.

Protocols for high-resolution respirometry of living cells, permeabilized cells, and permeabilized muscle fibers offer sensitive diagnostic tests of integrated mitochondrial function using standard cell culture techniques and small needle biopsies of muscle. Substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols for analysis of oxidative phosphorylation improve our understanding of mitochondrial respiratory control and the pathophysiology of mitochondrial diseases. Respiratory states are defined in functional terms to account for the network of metabolic interactions in complex SUIT protols with stepwise modulation of coupling and substrate control. A regulated degree of intrinsic uncoupling is a hallmark of oxidative phosphorylation, whereas pathological and toxicological dyscoupling is evaluated as a mitochondrial defect. The noncoupled state of maximum respiration is experimentally induced by titration of established uncouplers (FCCP, DNP), to decrease the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane and measure the capacity of the electron transfer-pathway (Electron transfer pathway, open-circuit operation of respiration). Intrinsic uncoupling and dyscoupling are evaluated as the flux control ratio between non-phosphorylating LEAK respiration (electron flow coupled to proton pumping to compensate for proton leaks) and ET-capacity. If OXPHOS-capacity (maximally ADP stimulated oxygen flux) is less than ET-capacity, the phosphorylation system contributes to flux control. Physiological NS-substrate combinations support maximum Electron transfer pathway and OXPHOS capacities, due to the additive effect of multiple electron supply pathways converging at the Q-junction. Substrate control with electron entry separately through Complex I (pyruvate&malate or glutamate&malate) or Complex II (succinate&rotenone) restricts ET-capacity and artificially enhances flux control upstream of the Q-cycle, providing diagnostic information on specific branches of the Electron transfer pathway. Oxygen levels are maintained above air saturation in protocols with permeabilized muscle fibers to avoid experimental oxygen limitation of respiration.

Standardized two-point calibration of the polarographic oxygen sensor (static sensor calibration), calibration of the sensor response time (dynamic sensor calibration), and evaluation of instrumental background oxygen flux (systemic flux compensation) provide the unique experimental basis for high accuracy of quantitative results and quality control in high-resolution respirometry.

Correction

  • Tab. 2: ET-capacity of HEK 293 cells is 47 ± 7 (the value of 14 ± 2 given in the table is that of ROUTINE respiration).
  • Fig. 7a: 'Myothiazol' should be corrected to 'Myxothiazol'.

Update

  • Tab. 1: Malate was generally used at 2 mM final concentration. New evaluations of SUIT protocols analyze the inhibitory effect of malate on CII-linked respiration, and the possibility to compensate for this by increasing succinate concentrations >10 mM.
» More details: Malate
  • New terminology (Gnaiger 2020 BEC MitoPathways): (i) 'ETF+CI' was used to indicate fatty acid oxidation (FAO), when electron-transferring flavoprotein complex (CETF) and Complex I (CI) are stimulated simultaneously (octanoylcarnitine&malate). Since this combined action is a general reqirement for FAO, a simpler symbol is FAO for the respiratory activity with FAO-linked substrates. (ii) 'CI+ETF' indicated respiration in the presence of a cocktail of Complex I-linked substrates (glutamate&malate) and electron transferring flavoprotein-linked substrate (octanoylcarnitine). It is suggested to use the symbol FN (or FAO&CI) to indicate respiration measured in the presence of such a F-junction and N-junction substrate cocktail, which then is distinguished from FAO+CI which is the calculated sum of respiratory activities measured separately with F- and N- (FAO-linked and CI-linked) substrates. Similarly, 'CI+II+ETF' is replaced by FNS (FAO&CI&II).
