Abbreviation: ce

Reference: B: Coupling control in intact cells with oligomycin to study the inhibitory effect of the AmR assay components on the respiration ; ce: non-permeabilized cells -SUIT-003

SUIT number: D058_ce1;ce2Omy;ce3U;ce4Rot;ce5Ama

SUIT protocol pattern: linear cell (ce) coupling control protocol ce1;ce2Omy;ce3U

SUIT-003 O2 ce D058 has been designed to study the inhibitory effect of the components of the Amplex UltraRed assay on coupling control state of intact cells. The different capacities are tested in the sequence OXPHOS, LEAK and ET. Also, in order to study the LEAK-respiration, we need to inhibit the phosphorylation system which in our protocol is achieved using oligomycin. However, the final concentration of oligomycin has to be carefully adjusted in preliminary experiments for different samples and, the inhibitory effect on the electron transfer system, has to be studied to avoid an underestimation of the ET-capacity. Superoxide dismutase and Horseradish peroxidase do not inhibit respiration, however, Amplex UltraRed seems to block at higher concentration ROUTINE respiratoin and the ET-capacity. The inhibitory effect of Amplex UltraRed should be tested with each sample type.

Steps and respiratory states

Ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR;ce2Omy;ce3U;ce4Rot;ce5Ama.png

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.
ce1SOD ROUTINE ce1;ce1SOD
  • SOD or superoxide dismutase converts the anion superoxide released by the mitochondria into H2O2, making it accessible to the Amplex UltraRed assay.
ce1HRP ROUTINE ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP
  • HRP or horseradish peroxidase catalyses the conversion of Amplex UltraRed and H2O2 towards the fluorescent resorufin.
ce1AmR ROUTINE ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR
ce2Omy LOmy ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR;ce2Omy
  • Non-phosphorylating resting state (LEAK state); LEAK-respiration, L(Omy), after blocking the ATP synthase with oligomycin.
ce3U E ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR;ce2Omy;ce3U
ce4Rot ROX ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR;ce2Omy;ce3U;ce4Rot
  • Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated either after inhibition of CIII (e.g. antimycin A, myxothiazol), CIV (e.g. Cyanide) or in the absence of endogenous fuel-substrates. Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration.
ce5Ama ROX ce1;ce1SOD;ce1HRP;ce1AmR;ce2Omy;ce3U;ce4Rot;ce5Ama
  • 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

  • This protocol has been designed to study the inhibitory effect of the Amplex UltraRed assay.
  • It is recommended to run this test with every differetn sample type.
+ Reasonable duration of the experiment.
- The concentration of oligomycin has to be carefully tested to avoid inhibitory effects in the evaluation of the ET-capacity.
- Careful washing is required after the experiment to avoid carry-over of inhibitors and uncoupler.
