Abstract: Version 1 (v1) 2019-07-04 doi:10.26124/mitofit:ea19.MiPSchool.0009

COST Action MitoEAGLE

Permeabilized muscle fibers are extensively used for analysis of mitochondrial function in exercise and pathophysiological studies. Inter- and intra-laboratory comparisons of published results on permeabilized muscle fibers are difficult due to application of different experimental procedures, including sample preparation, substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titrations (SUIT), respiratory media, and oxygen regimes. Oxygen dependence of mitochondrial respiration in permeabilized fibers (about 100-fold higher p50 compared to small living cells and isolated mitochondria [1]) reveals the requirement of using hyperoxic incubation conditions to avoid oxygen limitation of respiratory capacity [2]. However, controversial results on the oxygen dependence of permeabilized muscle fibers have been reported by different research groups using different respiration media in the presence or absence of the myosin II-specific inhibitor blebbistatin [3,4].

In the framework of COST Action MitoEAGLE, our main goals for the current study of permeabilized human muscle fibers are: (1) a comparison of protocols used in different research laboratories, (2) harmonization of results to address the reproducibility crisis [5], (3) evaluation of optimum experimental conditions, and (4) analysis of the causes of experimental variability.

We performed a blinded test with human permeabilized skeletal fibers. Six groups from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Spain, and USA measured simultaneously in the same laboratory mitochondrial respiration using high-resolution respirometry (O2k; Oroboros Instruments, Austria) in three human biopsies (vastus lateralis) from the same healthy volunteer sampled on three consecutive days. A total of 96 (32/day) permeabilized fiber preparations were assayed. The wet mass of permeabilized fibers ranged from 0.38 to 2.83 mg per chamber. Protocols were compared at several levels: (1) permeabilized fiber preparation; (2) respiration media MiR05-Kit and Buffer Z in the presence/absence of blebbistatin (25 µM), covering the most frequently used experimental conditions in the literature; (3) ‘normoxia’ (200-100 µM) versus hyperoxia (450-250 µM). The SUIT-008 protocol [6] was applied in all assays. Results were excluded from analysis if the cytochrome c flux control factor, FCFc = (IO2,cPM-IO2,PM)/IO2,cPM, exceeded 0.1 in the OXPHOS-state (Fig. 1; steps 2D and 2c). For abbreviations see Figure 1 and Gnaiger et al 2019 [7].

NS-OXPHOS capacity was oxygen-limited under ‘normoxic’ compared to hyperoxic conditions in both media (Figure 2A-D). Blebbistatin did not prevent the decrease of respiration in the ‘normoxic’ regime (Figure 2A and 2C), and exerted minor effects on oxygen flux in both media (Figure 2E-F). These results indicate that oxygen dependence is critical and independent of experimental buffers and blebbistatin (Figure 2A-D). Comparing respiratory capacity in both media under hyperoxic conditions, oxygen flux per mass was higher in MiR05-Kit than in Buffer Z (Figure 2E-F). Evaluation of these trends will be completed based on an in-depth statistical analysis. Our inter-laboratory study provides a basis to harmonize published results on permeabilized human skeletal muscle fibers and establishes guidelines for selecting optimum experimental conditions. - Extended abstract
