Abstract:

Mitochondrial Ca²⁺ efflux is essential for mitochondrial and cell Ca²⁺ homeostasis. Mitochondrial inner membrane Ca²⁺/H⁺ and Na⁺/Li⁺/Ca²⁺ (NCLX) exchangers are known today to be plastic transporters, with important roles in physiological responses and pathological states. Until now, however, no consensus protocols were available to measure mitochondrial Ca²⁺ efflux, and we find that some published protocols may induce mitochondrial permeability transition, underestimating the effects of these exchangers. In this work we describe a method to measure Na⁺-sensitive and insensitive mitochondrial Ca²⁺ efflux activity in isolated mitochondria and permeabilized cells using the Ca²⁺ Green indicator and a fluorimeter. A checklist is provided to avoid artefacts as well as pinpoint adaptations necessary in specific experimental models. • Keywords: mitochondria, Ca²⁺ efflux, NCLX, mPTP, liver • Bioblast editor: Cecatto C

 Mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux is essential for mitochondrial and cell Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis. Mitochondrial inner membrane Ca<sup>2+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> and Na<sup>+</sup>/Li<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> (NCLX) exchangers are known today to be plastic transporters, with important roles in physiological responses and pathological states. Until now, however, no consensus protocols were available to measure mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux, and we find that some published protocols may induce mitochondrial permeability transition, underestimating the effects of these exchangers. In this work we describe a method to measure Na<sup>+</sup>-sensitive and insensitive mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup> efflux activity in isolated mitochondria and permeabilized cells using the Ca<sup>2+</sup> Green indicator and a fluorimeter. A checklist is provided to avoid artefacts as well as pinpoint adaptations necessary in specific experimental models.
