SUIT-005 O2 pfi D011 protocols provide information on the F-pathway, the combined FN pathway, and the convergence FNS pathways in the OXPHOS state. FNS comprises the most important pathways in many cell types and thus provides a physiologically relevant estimate of maximum OXPHOS- and ET-capacity. SUIT-005 can be extended with the CIV assay module. This protocol is linked to SUIT-002 O2 pfi D006 - SUIT RP2, specifically for human skeletal muscle mitochondria. SUIT-005 O2 pfi D011 is harmonized with SUIT-004 O2 pfi D010. The F-pathway has to be tested previously.

Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1OctM	OctM_L(n)	F(N)	FAO	1OctM Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. Low concentration of malate, typically 0.1 mM, does not saturate the N-pathway; but saturates the F-pathway. Non-phosphorylating resting state (LEAK state); LEAK respiration L(n) in the absence of ADP, ATP, AMP (no adenylates).
2D	OctM_P	F(N)	FAO	1OCtM;2D Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. Low concentration of malate, typically 0.1 mM, does not saturate the N-pathway; but saturates the F-pathway. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
2c	OctMc_P	F(N)	FAO	1OCtM;2D;2c Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. Low concentration of malate, typically 0.1 mM, does not saturate the N-pathway; but saturates the F-pathway. 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]). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3P	OctPM_P	FN	F&CI	1OctM;2D;2c;3P Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway and N-pathway with convergent electron flow in the FN-pathway for evaluation of an additive or inhibitory effect of F. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
4S	OctPMS_P	FNS	F&CI&II	1OctM;2D;2c;3P;4S Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway, N-pathway, and S-pathway, with convergent electron flow in the FNS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function and additive or inhibitory effect of F. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
5U	OctPMS_E	FNS	F&CI&II	1OctM;2D;2c;3P;4S;5U Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway, N-pathway, and S-pathway, with convergent electron flow in the FNS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function and additive or inhibitory effect of F. 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. In living cells: E-R control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
6Rot	S_E	S	CII	1OctM;2D;3P;4S;5U;6Rot Succinate pathway control state (S-pathway) after inhibiting CI with rotenone, which also inhibits the F-pathway. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
7Ama	ROX			1OctM;2D;3P;4S;5U;6Rot;7Ama 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.

Strengths and limitations

+ The protocol provides information on FAO capacity in the absence of other, potentially interfering pathways, both in the LEAK state and in OXPHOS.

+ FNS OXPHOS-capacity comprises the most important pathways in many cell types and thus provides a physiologically relevant estimate of maximum mitochondrial respiratory capacity.

+ FNS ET-capacity is a good estimate of overall ET-capacity in many cell types.

+ The presence of PM and S establishes a fully operative TCA cycle activity (PMS) if the 2-oxoglutarate carrier does not outcompete the sources of 2-oxoglutarate

+ Application of the cytochrome c test early in the protocol ensures comparability of all states in case of any effect of c.

+ Reasonable duration of the experiment (1.5 to 2 h); 2-3 h when the CIV module is added.

- F- OXPHOS-capacity may be underestimated. In human heart muscle addition of Oct to palmitoylcarnitine (Pal) + malate increased OXPHOS by 26% (Lemuieux et al 2011).

- SRot_E may be underestimated if S is not saturating.
