:::: The problem was that I was observing a huge HRP independent sample related background. The assay was insensitive to addition of substrates and inhibitors.Β  Then I came across a recent publication by Miwa et al. (Free Radical Bio Med 2016; 90:173 <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0891584915011090> –183). They nicely showed that Amplex Red can cross the mitochondrial membranes, but HRP cannot, and the liver mitochondria express carboxylesterase which converts the Amplex Red to resorufin at high rate. The good thing is that this carboxylesterase can be inhibited for example by a commonly used serine protease inhibitor phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) at 100 Β΅M which has marginal or no effect on mitochondrial respiration.


:::: My own experimentations showed that 100 Β΅M PMSF reduced HRP independent sample related β€œH2O2” flux by 90% in the case of liver mitochondria and apparently completely eliminated this background in the case of kidney mitochondria. I also tested the PMSF in Amplex Red assay for isolated ''Drosophila melanogaster'' mitochondria in which the background is not that big issue as it is with the liver and kidney mitochondria.Β  Anyway, PMSF eliminated the HRP-independent sample related background, thus inclusion of PMSF may improve the sensitivity of the assay not just with liver and kidney samples but with other sample types as well.

== Media ==
Media that were designed to have some antioxidant properties willΒ  frequently consume H2O2 before it can react with Amplex (R) (Ultra)RedΒ  to form the active fluorophore resorufin. This can be shown by comparingΒ 
* the sensitivity as determined by H2O2 additions to different media containing HRP and Amplex (R) UltraRed
* the sensitivity as determined by addition of the actual fluorophoreΒ  resorufin to the same media (signal change per added resorufin)
Β 
(Sensitivity is signal change per added H2O2 or resorufin.)
Β 
WhileΒ  the sensitivity measured by the addition of H2O2 drops drastically fromΒ  a simple phosphate buffer to media with strong antioxidant properties,Β  this is not observed when the sensitivity is determined by the additionΒ  of resorufin.
Β 
Since the non biological drift alwaysΒ  observed for the Amplex /HRP system is independent of the sensitivityΒ  versus H2O2 the same (absolute) drift expressed as (calibrated)Β  "apparent H2O2 production" will be higher in a medium with low H2O2Β  sensitivity as compared to a medium with high H2O2 sensitivity.
Β 
AsΒ  expected some traditional KCl based media, similar to those used inΒ  ... showed a far higher sensitivity against H2O2 addition than MiR05, while some experiments indicated a lower respiration.

MiPNet discussion forum: HRP independent background flux (2016-07-25)

Janne Purhonen

The problem was that I was observing a huge HRP independent sample related background. The assay was insensitive to addition of substrates and inhibitors. Then I came across a recent publication by Miwa et al. (Free Radical Bio Med 2016; 90:173 <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0891584915011090> –183). They nicely showed that Amplex Red can cross the mitochondrial membranes, but HRP cannot, and the liver mitochondria express carboxylesterase which converts the Amplex Red to resorufin at high rate. The good thing is that this carboxylesterase can be inhibited for example by a commonly used serine protease inhibitor phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) at 100 Β΅M which has marginal or no effect on mitochondrial respiration.
My own experimentations showed that 100 Β΅M PMSF reduced HRP independent sample related β€œH2O2” flux by 90% in the case of liver mitochondria and apparently completely eliminated this background in the case of kidney mitochondria. I also tested the PMSF in Amplex Red assay for isolated Drosophila melanogaster mitochondria in which the background is not that big issue as it is with the liver and kidney mitochondria. Anyway, PMSF eliminated the HRP-independent sample related background, thus inclusion of PMSF may improve the sensitivity of the assay not just with liver and kidney samples but with other sample types as well.
