Introduction: Mitochondrial function plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, with alterations observed in various diseases, including several types of cancer. The study of mitochondrial respiration in human cells provides relevant insights into metabolic diseases and potential therapeutic targets. Our study aims to evaluate the effect of glucose concentration on culture media on cell respiration in hepatocellular carcinoma (HuH-7) cells. Methods: Using high-resolution respirometry, we analyzed mitochondrial respiration in the living HuH-7 cells cultured under low glucose (LG, 5.5 mM) and high glucose (HG, 25 mM) conditions. A coupling control protocol assessed ROUTINE respiration, LEAK respiration, electron transfer (ET) capacity, and E-L coupling efficiency. The protocol was extended to estimate cell viability in terms of plasma membrane permeability. Results: A decrease was observed in ROUTINE respiration in the HG group compared to the LG group, with no difference in ET-capacity and coupling efficiency. A notable Crabtree effect, indicative of metabolic reprogramming towards glycolysis, was observed exclusively in the LG group. Discussion: These findings suggest that high glucose concentrations in culture media can induce metabolic reprogramming in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, affecting mitochondrial function. Further investigations into aerobic glycolysis under varying glucose conditions are warranted to expand upon these respirometric findings. Our study underscores the importance of considering culture conditions in mitochondrial research and functional diagnostics.
