Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1OctM	OctML(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	OctMP	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	OctMcP	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	OctPMP	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	OctPMSP	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	OctPMSE	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	SE	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

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

+ The protocol provides information on F-OXPHOS capacity in the absence of a significant OXPHOS-capacity in the malate anaplerotic pathway control state.

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

+ PM & S reconsitutes 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.

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

- SRot_E may be underestimated if S is not saturating.
