Succinate-driven reverse electron transport (RET) is one of the main sources of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in ischemia-reperfusion injury. RET is dependent on mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and transmembrane pH difference (ΔpH), components of the proton motive force (pmf); a decrease in Δψm and/or ΔpH inhibits RET. In this study we aimed to determine which component of the pmf displays the more dominant effect on RET-provoked ROS generation in isolated guinea pig brain and heart mitochondria respiring on succinate or α-glycerophosphate (α-GP). Δψm was detected via safranin fluorescence and a TPP+ electrode, the rate of H2O2 formation was measured by Amplex UltraRed, the intramitochondrial pH (pHin) was assessed via BCECF fluorescence. Ionophores were used to dissect the effects of the two components of pmf. The K+/H+ exchanger, nigericin lowered pHin and ΔpH, followed by a compensatory increase in Δψm that led to an augmented H2O2 production. Valinomycin, a K+ ionophore, at low [K+] increased ΔpH and pHin, decreased Δψm, which resulted in a decline in H2O2 formation. It was concluded that Δψm is dominant over ∆pH in modulating the succinate- and α-GP-evoked RET. The elevation of extramitochondrial pH was accompanied by an enhanced H2O2 release and a decreased ∆pH. This phenomenon reveals that from the pH component not ∆pH, but rather absolute value of pH has higher impact on the rate of mtROS formation. Minor decrease of Δψm might be applied as a therapeutic strategy to attenuate RET-driven ROS generation in ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Not only for the data in the literature (that grows fast) but for some experimental observations at Franklin’s lab in Rio, it is well known that this kind of uncoupling could be made not only by UCP1, but also for 2 and 3, depending on the conditions. As showed in figure 1 and 2, lipid catabolism fuels the TCA cycle and provides substrates for the ETS, to contribute to the protonmotive force. It has been shown that the mitochondrial proton conductance of UCPs (1, 2 and 3) increase by superoxide presence (Superoxide activates mitochondrial uncoupling proteins; Nature 415, 96–99 [2002]; A signalling role for 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal in regulation of mitochondrial uncoupling; The EMBO Journal 22, 4103-4110 [2003]), also depends on fatty acids, at least for superoxide induced-uncoupling.

  • 08:30-09:15 Timea Komlodi: Facts and artefacts in measurements of H2O2 production under different oxygen regime
There is a large body of literature deciphering the role of mitochondria in reactive oxygen species-mediated signalling, which is mainly based on alterations in superoxide generation rate (further dismutated to H2O2). At sea level, the partial pressure of oxygen (O2) is around 20 kPa (concentration ≈200 µM) in the ambient air, but only < 1 kPa (≈10 µM) in the vicinity of mitochondria [4]. Quite importantly, ambient oxygen levels, also often applied in vitro, are hyperoxic for mitochondria. When reducing O2 levels towards the physiological intracellular range, contrasting results were reported either with increasing or decreasing H2O2 production rates. Such differences might arise from variability in species, tissue, detection method, respiration medium and O2 levels used. To shed light on some of the above cofounding factors, we set out to investigate the effect of various O2 concentrations on H2O2 production and O2 consumption in isolated mitochondria under well controlled conditions.To this aim, isolated mouse brain and heart mitochondria respiring with the combination of NADH-linked substrates glutamate and malate and complex II-linked substrate, succinate in a closed-chamber respirometer combined with fluorimetry (Oroboros O2k High-Resolution FluoRespirometer). O2 concentration was varied from ≈170 µM to 15-20 µM with injection of N2 in the gas phase both in the LEAK and OXPHOS states. H2O2 production was determined by the highly specific Amplex UltraRed assay in MiR05 and KCl-based media. The rate of H2O2 generation was corrected for chemical background, changes of O2 level over time and for the sensitivity of the detection system.Here we reveal that upon decrease of the O2 concentration from ≈170 µM to ≈20 µM, the rate of H2O2 formation is reduced as compared with normoxic H2O2 production in the LEAK but not in the OXPHOS state. After re-oxygenation, the rate of H2O2 generation again increases. At the same time, reducing the O2 concentration to ≈ 20 µM did not compromise O2 consumption, which is in line with the high affinity of mitochondrial respiration for O2 (p50 ≈ 0.03-0.04 kPa in OXPHOS).Taken together, when reducing the O2 concentration to the physiological intracellular range in vitro, the rate of H2O2 production declines in a metabolic states-dependent manner. In contrast, respiration was not affected by the O2 concentration down to ≈ 20 µM neither in brain nor in heart. Based on this, we can assume that the H2O2 production is more sensitive to the changes of O2 concentration than the O2 consumption.

Metastasis of head and neck tumors is responsible for a high mortality rate. Understanding its biochemistry may allow insights into tumorigenesis. To that end we carried out RNA-Seq analyses of 5 SCC9 derived oral cancer cell lines displaying increased invasive potential. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were annotated based on p-values and false discovery rate (q-values). All 292 KEGG pathways related to the human genome were compared in order to pinpoint the absolute and relative contributions to the invasive process considering the 8 hallmarks of cancer plus 2 new defined categories, as well as we made with our transcriptomic data. In terms of absolute contribution, the highest correlations were associated to the categories of evading immune destruction and energy metabolism and for relative contributions, angiogenesis and evading immune destruction. DEGs were distributed into each one of all possible modes of regulation, regarding up, down and continuum expression, along the 3 stages of metastatic progression. For p-values twenty-six genes were consistently present along the tumoral progression and 4 for q-values. Among the DEGs, we found 2 novel potentially informative metastatic markers: PIGG and SLC8B1. Furthermore, interactome analysis showed that MYH14, ANGPTL4, PPARD and ENPP1 are amenable to pharmacological interventions.

  • 08:30-09:00 Gerhard Krumschnabel: Respiratory control in mitochondrial preparations: isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenate, and permeabilized fibres.
Abstract: The application of high-resolution respirometry (HRR) for assessing mitochondrial energy metabolism is well established. Experimental substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor protocols for OXPHOS analysis enable the dissection of functional modules of substrate utilization, converging branches of electron transfer and coupling control for elucidation of the pathways supporting mitochondrial performance and dysfunction. Here we applied substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration protocols to evaluate different mitochondrial preparations from two mammalian experimental models for their suitability in HRR. In mouse heart, a tissue homogenate micropreparation was compared to a permeabilized fiber preparation. In beef heart, with abundant tissue available, we extended this comparison to include the preparation of isolated mitochondria. The permeabilized fiber preparation has its advantages, but also has limitations, specifically the diffusion limitations imposed on mitochondria for oxygen and ADP, inorganic phosphate and energy substrates. To reduce these limitations, we evaluated a method for the preparation of cardiac homogenate which is based on low-shear mechanical homogenization using the PBI-Shredder, an auxiliary tool for HRR. For mouse cardiac tissue, paired OXPHOS analysis on fibers and Shredder-samples indicated similar mitochondrial coupling control and respiratory capacities. Use of the PBI-Shredder reduced processing time of homogenate preparation compared to permeabilized fiber preparation and improved reproducibility within samples. Application of the PBI-Shredder with homogenates from mouse brain and liver yielded high-quality samples displaying tissue-specific OXPHOS fingerprints. In beef heart samples, Shredder homogenates did not reduce variability between preparations, but enhanced the coupling control ratio compared to both permeabilized fibers and isolated mitochondria. Overall, Shredder homogenates provide a valuable mitochondrial preparation, reducing preparation time and sample requirement while preserving the quality of the mitochondrial preparation.
