Cisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...
متن کاملMeasuring Myeloperoxidase Activity in Biological Samples
BACKGROUND Enzymatic activity measurements of the highly oxidative enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is implicated in many diseases, are widely used in the literature, but often suffer from nonspecificity and lack of uniformity. Thus, validation and standardization are needed to establish a robust method that is highly specific, sensitive, and reproducible for assaying MPO activity in biologi...
متن کاملMeasuring mitochondrial respiration in intact single muscle fibers.
Measurement of mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle is a vital tool for understanding regulation of cellular bioenergetics. Currently, a number of different experimental approaches are employed to quantify mitochondrial function, with each involving either mechanically or chemically induced disruption of cellular membranes. Here, we describe a novel approach that allows for the quantificat...
متن کاملMeasuring Respiration
The measurement of respiration is very important because it provides a window through which we can determine the metabolic activity of plant tissues. During aerobic respiration, stored food (e.g., carbohydrates, fats, proteins) are combined with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide, water and the energy needed to maintain the plant cell, tissue and quality of the commodity. The ...
متن کاملCounting and measuring ultrastructural features of biological samples.
Ultrastructural features of cells can be fractions of a micrometer in diameter, and electron microscopy is needed to resolve them to a degree that is compatible with stereological techniques. Because the focal depth of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images is thousands of times greater than the thickness of the sections used with TEM, virtual sectioning of sections suitable for TEM is n...
