Application of MiR06 in HRR

MiR06: Mitochondrial Respiration Medium (MiR06 = MiR05 + Catalase).

Oxygen solubility factor in MiR05 or MiR06 at 30 °C and 37 °C = 0.92
pH of MiR05/06: 7.2 (20 °C), 7.2 (25 °C), 7.1 (30 °C), 7.1 (35 °C), 7.0 (37 °C)


Re-oxygenation with H2O2 titrations

An experiment needs not necessarily be terminated , because of running out of oxygen. There are different possibilities to re-oxygenate.

  • To increase oxygen levels small volumes (µl) of 200 mM H2O2 stock solution are injected into the O2k-chamber filled with 2 ml MiR06.

With MiR06 (or MiR06Cr), the medium in the O2k-chamber can be re-oxygenated very conveniently with H2O2 titrations. The initial increase in oxygen, however, is preferentially made with oxygen gas, since there is the risk of bubble formation if the oxygen concentration is increased in a single large step. If oxygen gas is not available for the initial oxygenation, a very small bubble may be left in the chamber while slowly rising the oxygen level to 500 µM with additions of H2O2, such that gas can escape into the small bubble and then be extruded by fully closing the chamber. During the experiment, re-oxygenations are sufficiently small such that H2O2 titrations into the closed chamber do not lead to gas bubble formation.

  • Re-oxygenation by adding H2O2 to a catalase containing medium (Medium-MiR06)
Add catalase at a final concentration of 280 IU/ml to the medium at the beginning of an experiment. When oxygen starts to become limited, inject 1-3 µl of an approximately 200 mM H2O2 stock solution. The H2O2 will immediately be degraded to O2; the catalase concentration is high enough to avoid any oxidative stress. In this approach the chamber is not opened and closed, so the disturbance of the system is less and the stabilization phase of the sensor is short compared to a re-oxygenation by opening the chamber.
  • Re-oxygenation by opening the chamber
Lift the stopper and leave a gas volume above the liquid phase (use the stopper-spacer tool to set the stopper in the right position). Leave the chamber open till oxygen is again up to approximately air calibration level. Close the chamber by inserting the stopper completely and wait till the sensor is stable again (may take 5 to 10 minutes).
If possible, it is preferable to re-oxygenate in a phase of low respiratory activity, only little amounts of oxygen are consumed during the stabilization phase of the sensor after closing the chamber.

If you replace the air phase above the liquid phase by pure oxygen you can increase oxygen levels above air saturation, as it is recommended for measuring mitochondrial respiratory function in muscle biopsies.

Preparation of MiR05 (MiR06) stock solution

1) Weigh given amounts of the listed chemicals (except BSA and lactobionic acid) and transfer to a 1000 ml glass beaker.
2) Disrupt big lumps mechanically. It is recommended to do this before adding water, because during dissolution these lumps do not disintegrate easily.
3) Add ~800 ml H2O and dissolve using a magnetic stirrer at ~30 °C
4) Add 120 ml of K-lactobionate stock solution.
5) Adjust the pH to 7.1 with 5 M KOH at 30 °C.
6) Dissolve the BSA in a subsample of the MiR05 stock solution and add to the final MiR05 (the separate preparation of the BSA solution is recommended, since BSA produces foams that do not dissolve easily).
7) Add H20 to a final volume of 1000 ml.
8) Check pH again and adjust if necessary with small volumes of 5 M KOH. This solution is MiR05. MiR05 can be stored at -20 °C as described for MiR06.
9) To prepare MiR06, add 280 000 units of catalase (100 mg of catalase powder containing 2800 u/mg solid) per litre MiR05 (280 units / ml final concentration).
10) Divide into 40 ml portions in plastic vials and store at -20 °C.
11) These storage solutions of MiR06 can be used as stock solutions. A vial is warmed up above experimental temperature, avoiding foam formation during gentle shaking. Up to 16 O2k-chambers can be filled with a 40 ml portion. It is recommended to use the stock solution on a single day only, to avoid any microbial contamination of the respiration medium.
MiR06 can also be prepared by adding 5 µl of the catalase stock solution directly into the O2k-chamber filled with MiR05 at the start of the experiment. The final catalase concentration in the 2 ml O2k chamber is 280 u/ml.

Preparation of K-lactobionate stock solution

1) weigh 35.83 g lactobionic acid into a 250 ml glass beaker
2) add 100 ml H2O and dissolve by stirring on magnetic stirrer
2) check pH (is approx. 2.0) and neutralize with 5 M KOH
4) adjust final volume to 200 ml with H2O. It is best to use a 200 ml volumetric glass flask.
5) check pH again and adjust to 7 if necessary (5 M KOH)

Preparation of catalase stock solution

Catalase lypophilized powder, 2000-5000 units*/mg, Sigma C 9322, store at -20 °C
Stock solution: 112000 u/ml (dissolved in MiR05)


Example: 'Catalase lypophilized powder, 2800 units/mg solid and 3500 units/mg protein'
1) Use 'units/mg solid' for your calculations
2) Result: 40 mg catalase powder (2800 u/mg) are dissolved in 1 ml MiR05 to obtain a catalase stock solution with 112000 u/ml.
3) Titrate 5 µl of the catalase stock solution into the 2 ml chamber to achieve a final concentration of 280 IU/ml in the chamber.

Unit definition: * Units of enzymatic activitiy (u) in µmol/min; assay used by Sigma Aldrich: ' One unit will decompose 1.0 μmol of H2O2 per min at pH 7.0 at 25 °C, while the H2O2 concentration falls from 10.3 to 9.2 mM, measured by the rate of decrease of A240. '

MiR05Cr/MiR06Cr

1) Prepare fresh by adding 3 mg/ml creatine monohydrate (Fluka 27900, 100 g) to MiR05 or MiR06.
2) Stirr gently on a magnetic stirrer.
3) Do not freeze to avoid precipitation.

Preparation of 200 mM H2O2 stock solution

H2O2: Hydrogen peroxide solution, 50 wt. % in H2O, stabilized, Sigma 516813, store in the fridge. See this link for handling and safety instructions concerning hydrogen peroxide.

1) Pipette 114 µl of 17.6 M H2O2 into 10 ml plastic vial.
2) Add H2O, acidify with HCl (1 mM) to pH 6, complete with H2O to a total volume of 10 ml. Maintain the pH in the stock solution acidic to minimize autoxidation.
3) Wrap plastic vial in aluminium foil (solution is light sensitive) and store at 4 °C.
4) During experiments keep the stock solution on ice.

Titration of 3 µl of H2O2 into the 2 ml O2k-chamber increases the concentration of O2 by approx. 150 nmol/ml (150 µM).

Limitations of using MiR05 to MiR06Cr

  • MiR06 or MiR06Cr cannot be used for measurement of ROS production. Use MiR05 or MiR05Cr instead.
  • The high antioxidant activity may compete with reactions on which measurement of ROS production is based.
  • The intracellular milieu of kidney has a low [K+]. Kidney mitochondria are inhibited by the high [K+] of MiR05 to MiR06Cr [1].
