SUIT-038 O2 mt D091

Description

Reference: A - SUIT-038 - ...

SUIT number: D091_1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10;6S50;7Gp;8U;9Rot;10Ama

O2k-Application: O2

The SUIT-038 O2 mt D091 protocol is focused on the analysis of the malate anaplerotic pathway control state in mitochondrial preparations such as isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenates and permeabilized cells (already permeabilized when they are added to the chamber) in a wide variety of species, tissues and cell types. Malate alone does not support respiration if oxaloacetate is not metabolized further in the absence of acetyl-CoA. The careful titration of malate is required to analyze the activity of the mt-isoform of NADP- or NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme (mtME). If these enzymes are present in the sample one should be able to reach with malate alone a high respiratory activity comparable to the NADH-linked pathway control states with more classical combinations of substrates (e.g. PM or GM). Moreover, the pathway control in OXPHOS state ((N), N, NS, NSGp pathways) and in ET state (NSGp and SGp) can be evaluated by using this SUIT protocol.

Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1D	ROX			1D ADP is added to stimulate the consumption of endogenous fuel-substrates.
2M.1				1D;2M.1 Low concentration of malate, typically 0.1 mM, does not saturate the N-pathway; but saturates the F-pathway. Malate kinetics in the presence of saturating [ADP] allows the evaluation of malate anaplerotic pathways.
2H2O				1D;2M.1;2H2O Titration of carrier (H2O) as a control, to be compared with protocols with titration of acylcarnitines to assess fatty acid oxidation-linked respiration.
3c				1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state. Addition of cytochrome c yields a test for integrity of the mtOM (cytochrome c control efficiency). Stimulation by added cytochrome c would indicate an injury of the mtOM and limitation of respiration in the preceding state without added c due to loss of cytochrome c. Typically, cytochrome c is added immediately after the earliest ADP-activation step (OXPHOS capacity P with saturating [ADP]).
3M.2				1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2 Malate kinetics in the presence of saturating [ADP] allows the evaluation of malate anaplerotic pathways. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3M.5				1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5 Malate kinetics in the presence of saturating [ADP] allows the evaluation of malate anaplerotic pathways. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3M1				1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1 Malate kinetics in the presence of saturating [ADP] allows the evaluation of malate anaplerotic pathways. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3M2				1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2 Malate kinetics in the presence of saturating [ADP] allows the evaluation of malate anaplerotic pathways. High concentration of malate, typically 2 mM, saturates the N-pathway. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
4P	PM_P	N	CI	1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.

6S10	PGMS_P	NS	CI&II	1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10 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.
6S50	PGMS_P	NS	CI&II	1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10;6S50 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.
7Gp	PGMSGp_P	NSGp	CI&II&GpDH	1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10;6S50;7Gp Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates (N), succinate (S), and glycerophosphate with convergent electron flow in the NSGp-pathway to the Q-junction. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
8U	PGMSGp_E	NSGp	CI&II&GpDH	1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10;6S50;7Gp;8U Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates (N), succinate (S), and glycerophosphate with convergent electron flow in the NSGp-pathway to the Q-junction. Uncoupler titration (avoiding inhibition by high uncoupler concentrations) to obtain electron transfer (ET) capacity E (noncoupled ET-state). Test for limitation of OXPHOS capacity P by the phosphorylation system (ANT, ATP synthase, phosphate transporter) relative to ET capacity E in mt-preparations: E-P control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency.

Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
10Ama	ROX			1D;2M.1;2H2O;2c;3M.2;3M.5;3M1;3M2;4P;5G;6S10;6S50;7Gp;8U;9Rot;10Ama 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

SUIT-002 in combination with SUIT-001 provides a common reference for comparison of respiratory control in a large variety of species, tissues and cell types. Both SUIT protocols provide a mitochondrial mapping which allows:

1. to obtain reference values.

2. to evaluate mitochondrial physiological diversity, generating a mt-database on comparative mitochondrial physiology.

3. to screen specific defects.

SUIT-001 and SUIT-002 are used in the MitoFit Proficiency test for inter-individual and inter-laboratory reproducibility quality control.
A succinate concentration of >10 mM may be required for saturating S_E capacity.

+ SUIT-002 allows the depletion of endogenous substrates with ADP (1D).

+ The protocol provides information on F-pathway in OXPHOS state. The low concentration of malate used in this protocol, typically 0.1 mM, does not saturate the N-pathway; but saturates the F-pathway.

+ F-pathway (3Oct-2M.1) can be compared to FN-pathway (5P) in OXPHOS state.

+ Pathway control in OXPHOS (F, F(N), FN, FNS, FNSGp pathways) and in ET state (FNSGp and SGp) can be observed.

+ Harmonization with SUIT-001 allows to perform both SUIT protocols in parallel. The cross-linked respiratory states can be statistically used as repeated measurements.

+ Harmonization with many SUIT protocols (up to step 7S).

+ In SUIT-002, the full set of pathways converging into Q (FNSGp) is obtained in OXPHOS and ET states. Therefore, P/E (8Gp/9U) at high ET capacity can be calculated.

+ This protocol can be extended with the Complex IV module.

- S-pathway in ET state is not obtained (it is obtained in SUIT-001).

- Lengthy duration of the experiment.

- We do not generally recommended the addition of already permeabilized cells, but we recommend to perform the permeabilization of the cell plasma membrane in the chambers (see SUIT-002 O2 ce-pce D007).

Compare SUIT protocols

SUIT-001 O2 mt D001 (RP1): Harmonized SUIT protocol for isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenate and permeabilized cells (already permeabilized).

SUIT-002 O2 ce-pce D007: SUIT-002 for non-permeabilized cells. Permeabilization of the cell plasma membrane occurs in the chambers through digitonin addition. Therefore, SUIT-002 O2 ce-pce D007 protocol provides information of non-permeabilized cell respiration (ce) and permeabilized cell respiration (pce).
