Description

Ce1;1Dig;1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;5U;6Rot;7Ama;8AsTm;9Azd.png

Abbreviation: Q-junction ce-pce

Reference: A: for cells-permeabilized cells Lemieux 2017 Sci Rep - SUIT-008

SUIT number: D025_ce1;1Dig;1PM;2D;2c;3G;4S;5U;6Rot;7Ama;8AsTm;9Azd

O2k-Application: O2


The SUIT-008 O2 ce-pce D025 protocol is designed to assess the additivity between the N- and S-pathway in the Q-junction, providing a physiologically relevant estimate of the 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 ce-pce D025 can be easily extended with the CIV assay module. In this protocol, non-permeabilized cells are added in the chamber, and ROUTINE respiration is measured. The cells are further permeabilized with digitonin inside the O2k chamber.

Steps and respiratory states

SUIT-008

Step State Pathway Q-junction Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
ce1 ROUTINE ce1
  • ROUTINE respiration in the physiological coupling state R. Externally added permeable substrates could contribute to this respiratory state.

  • Optimum effective digitonin concentration for complete plasma membrane permeabilization.

4S PGMSP 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.

  • 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).
+ Mitochondrial outer membrane can be measured with the addition of cytochrome c. Application of the cytochrome c test early in the protocol ensures comparability of all states in case of any effect of c.
+ Reasonable duration of the experiment.
+ Complex IV activity can be measured.
+ 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 of the S-pathway is higher with GM compared to PM (GMP is inhibited by the CII inhibitor malonic acid to a larger extent than PMP). 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 diagnosis of N-capacity.
- When evaluating the additive effect of the N- and S-pathway, it has to be considered that NSP- and NSE-capacities can only be compared with NP- and SE-capacities. This is not a problem when NSP = NSE (Gnaiger 2009). In this case, it may be assumed that SP = SE (Votion et al 2012), such that NSP can be compared with NP + SP. SUIT-004 should be chosen for the additive effect in the ET-state.
- Careful washing is required after the experiment to avoid carry-over of inhibitors and uncoupler.

Compare SUIT protocols

  • SUIT-014: 1GM;2D;3P;4S;5U;6Rot-; similar version starting with GM, and then adding P. Used in combination with SUIT-008 in Lemieux 2017 for pfi.
  • SUIT-004 1PM;2D;3U;4S;5Rot- The SUIT-004 protocols provide a quick assessment of the linear coupling control (L- P- E) with NADH linked-substrates (PM) and the control in ET state (N, NS, S)
  • SUIT-011 1GM;2D;3S;4U;5Rot- The SUIT-011 protocols are designed to study physiologically relevant maximum mitochondrial respiratory capacity (OXPHOS with NS substrates) and coupling/pathway control.
