Abstract: We studied the oxygen dependence of respiration in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells by use of high-resolution respirometry. The rate of oxygen consumption varied from 30 to 50 pmol O2Β·s-1Β·10-6 cells over a sixfold range of cell densities. Respiration was stimulated up to 3.5-fold by uncoupling with carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone or 2,4-Dinitrophenole, and the pO2 at half-maximal respiration (p50) increased from 0.05 to 0.12 kPa (0.3 to 0.9 Torr) with respiratory rate. p50 decreased to a minimum of 0.02 kPa when noncoupled cells were inhibited to control levels. Differences in cell size explained a variation of approximately 0.015 kPa in p50 at similar respiratory rates per cell. Oxygen diffusion to mitochondria contributed maximally 30 % to the regulation of p50 in coupled cells, as deduced from the shallow slope of the flux dependence of p50 in noncoupled-inhibited cells compared with the slope in coupled cells. Therefore 70 % of the flux dependence of p50 in coupled cells was caused by changes in metabolic state, which correlated with respiratory rate.
