MultiSensor-O2k: Oxygen and pH - Warburg versus Crabtree Effect
Q: For quantification of aerobic glycolysis in intact cells, the measurement of proton production can be used as an indirect but continuous record of lactate production and corresponding acidification of the medium, while simultaneously monitoring oxygen concentration and oxygen consumption (MultiSensor-O2k). Is this related to the Warburg or Crabtree effect?
A: Under various metabolic conditions, lactic acid production is the dominant mechanism causing acidification, hence the pH measurement is a good indirect indicator of aerobic glycolysis. An early paper summarizing the literature in this field states:
"At high fructose concenยญtrations, respiration is inhibited while glycolytic end products accumulate, a phenomenon known as the Crabtree effect. It is commonly believed that this effect is restricยญted to microbial and tumour cells with uniquely high glycolytic capaciยญties (Sussman et al, 1980). Howยญever, inhibition of respiration and increase of lactate production are observed under aerobic condiยญtions in beating rat heart cell cultures (Frelin et al, 1974) and in isolated rat lung cells (Ayuso-Parrilla et al, 1978). Thus, the same general mechanisms responยญsible for the integraยญtion of respiration and glycolysis in tumour cells (Sussman et al, 1980) appear to be operating to some extent in several isolated mammalian cells."

Media with low buffering capacity
For intact cells commercially available variants of RPMI1640 that contain neither hydrogen carbonate nor HEPES may constitute a starting point, see e.g. this from Sigma Aldrich (not tested by Oroboros Instruments). For pH electrode testing and developing the pH-stat approach Oroboros Instruments used the following medium (not tested in biological experiments):
substance | formula | concentration [mM] |
---|---|---|
calcium chloride dihydrate | CaCl2 * 2 H2O | 0.42 |
imidazole | C3H4N2 | 2.0 |
potassium chloride | KCl | 2.4 |
magnesium chloride hexahydrate | MgCl2*6H2O | 0.49 |
sodium chloride | MNaCl | 137 |
