SUIT-008 O2 mt D026

Description

Abbreviation: NS(PGM)

Reference: A: SUIT protocol for mt; mt: isolated mitochondria and tissue homogenate - SUIT-008

SUIT number: D026_1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;4D;5U;6Rot;7Ama;8AsTm;9Azd

O2k-Application: O2

MitoPedia: SUIT

SUIT-category: NS(PGM)

SUIT protocol pattern: diametral 1PM;2D;3G;4S;5U;6Rot-

The SUIT-008 O2 mt D026 protocol can be used with mitochondrial preparations (isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenate or cells permeabilized before addition to the O2k chamber). The protocol is designed to assess the additivity between the N- and S-pathway in the Q-junction, providing a physiologically relevant estimate of maximum mitochondrial respiratory capacity. It also serves as a diagnostic tool for the activity of the glutamate dehydrogenase and its linked pathways, which could be relevant in some pathologies. SUIT-008 O2 mt D026 can be easily extended with the CIV assay module.

Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1PM	PM_L(n)	N	CI	1PM NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). Non-phosphorylating resting state (LEAK state); LEAK respiration L(n) in the absence of ADP, ATP, AMP (no adenylates).
2D	PM_P	N	CI	1PM;2D NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
2c	PMc_P	N	CI	1PM;2D;2c NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). Addition of cytochrome c yields a test for integrity of the mtOM (cytochrome c control efficiency). Stimulation by added cytochrome c would indicate an injury of the mtOM and limitation of respiration in the preceding state without added c due to loss of cytochrome c. Typically, cytochrome c is added immediately after the earliest ADP-activation step (OXPHOS capacity P with saturating [ADP]). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3G	PGM_P	N	CI	1PM;2D;2c;3G NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
4S	PGMS_P	NS	CI&II	1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates & succinate, with convergent electron flow in the NS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
5U	PGMS_E	NS	CI&II	1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;5U Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates & succinate, with convergent electron flow in the NS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function. Uncoupler titration (avoiding inhibition by high uncoupler concentrations) to obtain electron transfer (ET) capacity E (noncoupled ET-state). Test for limitation of OXPHOS capacity P by the phosphorylation system (ANT, ATP synthase, phosphate transporter) relative to ET capacity E in mt-preparations: E-P control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. In living cells: E-R control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
6Rot	S_E	S	CII	1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;5U;6Rot Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). Succinate pathway control state (S-pathway) after inhibiting CI with rotenone, which also inhibits the F-pathway. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
7Ama	ROX			1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;5U;6Rot;7Ama Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated after addition of antimycin A (inhibitor of CIII). Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration (mt).

Strengths and limitations

+ NS-OXPHOS capacity provides a physiologically relevant estimate of maximum mitochondrial respiratory capacity.

+ The presence of PGM and S establishes fully operative TCA cycle activity.

+ This protocol allows to analyse the convergence of pathways at the Q-junction (N, NS, S).

+ Outer mitochondrial membrane integrity can be evaluated by the addition of cytochrome c (cytochrome c test). The early addition of cytochrome c in the protocol ensures comparability of all states in case of any effect of cytochrome c'.

+ GM and PM yield typically identical fluxes in human skeletal muscle fibres. However, PM is the superior alternative to GM: the fraction of the N-pathway is lower and S-pathway contribution is higher with GM compared to PM. PM, therefore, yields a more sensitive assay for the diagnosis of injuries in the N-pathway, since impairment of N-pathway capacity can be compensated partially by activation of the S-pathway. This is an advantage compared to SUIT-011 for the diagnosis of N-capacity.

+ Reasonable duration of the experiment.

+ This protocol can be extended with the Complex IV module.

- F-pathway is not analysed.

- Careful washing is required after the experiment to avoid carry-over of inhibitors and uncoupler.

Compare SUIT protocols

SUIT-004: SUIT-004 protocol provide a quick assessment of the linear coupling control (L-P-E) with NADH linked-substrates (PM) and the pathway control in ET state (N, NS, S pathways).
SUIT-011: SUIT-011 protocol are designed to study physiologically relevant maximum mitochondrial respiratory capacity (OXPHOS capacity with GMS as NS-linked substrates).
