چکیده

Measurements of mitochondrial respiration in intact cells can help define metabolism and its dysregulation in fields such as cancer, metabolic disease, immunology, and neurodegeneration. Although cells can be offered various substrates in the assay medium, many cell types can oxidize stored pools of energy substrates. A general bioenergetic profile can therefore be obtained using intact cells, but the inability to control substrate provision to the mitochondria can restrict an in-depth, mechanistic understanding. Mitochondria can be isolated from intact cells, but the yield and quality of the end product is often poor and prone to subselection during isolation. Plasma membrane permeabilization of cells provides a solution to this challenge, allowing experimental control of the medium surrounding the mitochondria. This unit describes techniques to measure respiration in permeabilized adherent cells using a Seahorse XF Analyzer or permeabilized suspended cells in a Hansatech Oxygraph.

Assessing mitochondrial dysfunction in primary cardiomyocytes

This Application Note describes a method for profiling mitochondrial function in cells responding to stress. The mitochondrial profile generated in this way provides four parameters of mitochondrial function that can be measured in one experiment: basal respiration rate, ATP-linked respiration, proton leak, and reserve capacity. The results described here suggest that the development of cardiom...

Measuring mitochondrial defects in human skin fibroblasts XF bioenergetic analysis of human skin fibroblasts identify mitochondrial disorders

Time (minutes) Mitochondrial disorders are characterized by defective mitochondrial function in metabolically active tissues such as skeletal muscle and brain. Diagnosis is challenging. While spectrophotometric analysis is utilized to detect biochemical defects in muscle biopsies or skin fibroblasts, the samples are difficult to obtain and/or require a large number of cells. A more inclusive ap...

Atorvastatin protects the proliferative ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells inhibited by angiotensin II by changing mitochondrial energy metabolism

This study aimed to explore whether angiotensin II (Ang II) inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by changing mitochondrial energy metabolism, and whether atorvastatin has a protective role via restoration of endothelial function. HUVECs were treated with 1 µM Ang II alone or with 10 µM atorvastatin for 24 h. Proliferation was detected by MTT assay, cell ...
