随着新兴研究表明哺乳动物线粒体可以在不消耗分子氧的情况下发挥作用，研究人员在OCR测量之外采用正交测定来准确量化线粒体功能至关重要。在这里，我们编制了一系列可用于通过测量线粒体NAD + / NADH平衡，自适应末端电子受体的利用，ATP的产生，从 头 嘧啶生物合成和线粒体衍生的ROS来直接评估复合物I，复合物II，复合物V和DHODH的活性。值得注意的是，这些测定比OCR测量更直接地测量线粒体功能。此外，这些测定为研究人员提供了在缺氧期间量化线粒体功能的易处理方法，由于富马酸盐被用作首选的末端电子受体，因此 OCR 测量在很大程度上无关紧要。最后，这里描述的基于增殖的方法比经典的呼吸测量实验更具成本效益，从而提供了一种广泛可访问的方法来研究哺乳动物系统中的线粒体功能。
利用这些检测来测量培养细胞中的线粒体功能时，有一些关键的考虑因素。关于增殖测定，重要的是调整接种的细胞数量以增加每个细胞系的倍增率。应将细胞接种至至少10%的汇合度，并有足够的空间允许三到四倍，以便可以量化增殖差异。每种测定的另一个考虑因素是用作每个ETC复合物活性对照的小分子的浓度。由于不同的细胞系可能对这些抑制剂表现出不同的敏感性，因此测试这些小分子的剂量以确定最佳浓度至关重要。
体外研究线粒体功能的测定（包括OCR测量和此处描述的所有测定）的普遍局限性是培养基的代谢组成。标准细胞培养基倾向于使系统偏向于表面高水平的线粒体功能。例如，超生理谷氨酰胺水平增加了其TCA循环25的无激素，这促进了线粒体NADH的合成，从而增加了氧化磷酸化。同样，哺乳动物组织中的氧分压范围在3mmHg和100mmHg（约0.1%-13%O2）之间，但在体外是大气压（140mmHg，约21%）26，27。这种过量的O2使线粒体呼吸能力和超氧化物产生最大化28。最近，人们努力设计更生理的培养基29，30。值得注意的是，在人血浆样培养基中培养细胞会降低某些癌细胞系的线粒体呼吸30，T细胞31中的线粒体ROS以及线粒体对癌症治疗的适应32。因此，注意所用培养基的组成并了解其如何影响线粒体功能至关重要。
解释线粒体功能的另一个重要和普遍的限制是线粒体数量差异的可能性。因此，通过定量mtDNA33、用膜电位不敏感染料34测量线粒体质量或线粒体标志物的蛋白质印迹来测量线粒体含量至关重要。这是一个关键的控制，因此线粒体数量的减少不会被误认为线粒体功能的下降。
还有一些适用于此处描述的测定的特定限制和故障排除。首先，鉴于分化的细胞不会增殖，在这种情况下，基于增殖的测定对于评估线粒体功能没有用。用于测量DHODH活性的 13C4-天冬氨酸示踪方案的一个关键限制是细胞中的天冬氨酸摄取效率极低35。为了克服这一潜在的限制，研究人员可以过表达天冬氨酸转运蛋白SLC1A3，以促进 13C4-天冬氨酸摄取35。
使用13C5-谷氨酰胺示踪测量SDH活性的方案的局限性在于，该测定要求细胞利用还原羧化途径来富集M + 3同位素异构体以测量反向活性。由于ATP柠檬酸裂解酶表达低36，HIF稳定性不足37或α-KG：柠檬酸盐比值太低38，一些细胞系无法进行还原羧化通量。为了克服这一限制，可以利用13C4-天冬氨酸示踪来测量SDH正向和反向活动7。在该测定中，SDH正向活性可以通过富马酸盐M + 2：琥珀酸M + 2的比率和琥珀酸盐M + 4：富马酸盐M + 4的反向反应来测量。值得注意的是，这种示踪绕过了还原羧化途径中的大多数酶。
使用DCPIP还原作为读数的复合物I活性测定的局限性是线粒体在结构上不是完整的。冻融线粒体以使NADH吸收用于测定的过程肯定会损害线粒体膜的结构完整性39。该测定应与诸如复合物I增殖测定之类的测定同时进行，以确保观察到的复合物I活性的变化对于完整细胞也是真实的。
在未来的研究中，其中一些技术可以适用于使用模型生物（如小鼠和秀丽隐杆线虫）测量体内线粒体功能。目前用于测量体内线粒体功能的方法集中在生物体水平的OCR，特别是使用小鼠模型时的呼吸交换率。这种方法的一个明显局限性是，氧气除了在线粒体ETC中作为无处不在的末端电子受体的作用外，还具有许多生化和信号功能。例如，氧气被双加氧酶家族中酶的催化活性“消耗”。虽然这些酶有助于细胞耗氧率，但它们不参与、调节或反映线粒体功能。体外经典呼吸测量实验通常控制“非线粒体OCR”，而有机呼吸交换比（RER）实验无法控制这一点，限制了RER作为体内线粒体功能的指标的解释。然而，调整方案以通过13C4-天冬氨酸示踪测量DHODH活性，通过13C5-谷氨酰胺示踪测量复合物II活性，从组织中纯化的线粒体上的复合物I活性，以及使用LC-MS友好化合物（如MitoB）测量线粒体ROS以测量体内线粒体功能.这些询问线粒体功能的直接测定，结合经典的呼吸测量实验，为研究人员提供了对哺乳动物细胞和组织中线粒体功能的更全面和准确的评估。

线粒体功能是细胞健康的关键指标，因为它维持哺乳动物细胞中关键的生物合成、生物能量和信号功能1。绝大多数线粒体功能需要电子流过电子传递链（ETC），ETC中电子流的中断会导致严重的线粒体疾病2。ETC由嵌入线粒体内膜中的一系列还原和氧化（氧化还原）反应组成，这些电子转移反应释放的自由能可用于支持ATP合成，生理过程（例如产热），生物合成途径（例如从头嘧啶生物合成）以及辅助因子（例如NADH）的氧化还原状态的平衡。ETC复合物I和III产生活性氧（ROS）3，4，5，进而调节信号传导关键途径，如HIF，PI3K，NRF2，NFκB和MAPK6。因此，ETC中的电子流指标通常用作哺乳动物细胞中线粒体功能的代理。
呼吸测量实验经常用于测量哺乳动物细胞中的线粒体功能。由于O2是哺乳动物ETC最普遍的末端电子受体，因此其还原被用作线粒体功能的代表。然而，新出现的证据表明，哺乳动物线粒体可以使用富马酸盐作为电子受体来维持依赖于ETC的线粒体功能，包括从头嘧啶生物合成7，NADH氧化7和硫化氢的解毒8。因此，在某些情况下，特别是在缺氧环境中，O2消耗率（OCR）的测量不能提供线粒体功能的精确或准确的指示。
在这里，我们概述了一系列可用于独立于OCR测量线粒体功能的测定。我们提供直接测量复合物 I 介导的 NADH 氧化、二氢乳清酸脱氢酶介导的 从头 嘧啶生物合成、复合物 V 依赖性 ATP 合成、琥珀酸脱氢酶 （SDH） 复合物的净方向性和线粒体衍生的 ROS 的检测方法。这些测定旨在对培养的哺乳动物细胞进行，尽管许多测定可以适应 研究体内 线粒体功能。值得注意的是，该协议中描述的测定是比OCR更直接的线粒体功能测量。此外，它们能够测量缺氧时的线粒体功能，在这种情况下，OCR 不是指示性测量。总之，这些测定与经典的呼吸测量实验相结合，将为研究人员提供对哺乳动物细胞线粒体功能的更全面的评估。

oxygen-independent assays to measure mitochondrial function in mammals

线粒体电子传递链（ETC）中的电子流动支持哺乳动物细胞中的多方面生物合成，生物能量和信号传导功能。由于氧（O 2）是哺乳动物ETC最普遍的末端电子受体，因此O2消耗率经常被用作线粒体功能的代表。然而，新兴研究表明，该参数并不总是指示线粒体功能，因为富马酸盐可以用作替代电子受体以维持缺氧时的线粒体功能。本文编制了一系列协议，允许研究人员独立于O2消耗率测量线粒体功能。这些测定在研究缺氧环境中的线粒体功能时特别有用。具体来说，我们描述了测量线粒体ATP产生，从头嘧啶生物合成，复合物I氧化NADH和超氧化物产生的方法。结合经典的呼吸测量实验，这些正交和经济的测定将为研究人员提供更全面的线粒体功能评估他们感兴趣的系统。

DHODH，复合物I和复合物V的活性都可以使用增殖测定进行评估。从培养基中剥夺尿苷后，细胞变得更加依赖于嘧啶生物合成的 从头 途径。因此，当细胞在无尿苷培养基中被激发增殖时，它们比在含有尿苷的培养基中培养的细胞对brequinar抑制DHODH活性更敏感（图6A）。类似地，从培养基中剥夺丙酮酸使细胞更依赖于复合物I活性进行增殖。因此，当细胞在无丙酮酸培养基中被激发增殖时，它们比在含丙酮的培养基中培养的细胞对鱼藤酮对复合物I活性的抑制更敏感（图6B）。复合V活性可以通过挑战细胞在含有半乳糖而不是葡萄糖的培养基中增殖来评估。由于半乳糖在糖酵解中产生净零ATP，因此在这种燃料中生长的细胞更依赖于通过复合V活性合成线粒体ATP。因此，在含半乳糖培养基中增殖的细胞比在含葡萄糖培养基中增殖的细胞对寡霉素的复合物V抑制更敏感（图6C）。
SDH活性可以使用13C5-谷氨酰胺示踪和监测其掺入富马酸盐和琥珀酸盐同位素异构体来测量。在载体处理条件下，SDH复合物有利于前向活性，将13C 4-琥珀酸掺入13 C4-富马酸盐高于将13 C 3-富马酸盐掺入13 C3-琥珀酸盐（图7）。在抗霉素处理的条件下，SDH复合物有利于反向活性，并且将13C 3-富马酸盐掺入13 C3-琥珀酸盐大于将13 C 4-琥珀酸掺入13 C4-富马酸盐（图7）。
线粒体内的超氧化物产生可以使用荧光报告基因MitoSox进行测量，其在与超氧化物反应时产生2-羟基-丝分裂乙铓。在这项研究中，在叔丁基过氧化氢存在下用MitoSox处理的细胞具有更高水平的2-羟基-丝分裂乙锭，其方式通过添加NAC（一种淬灭细胞ROS的抗氧化剂）来抑制（图8）。

Using Isolated Mitochondria from Minimal Quantities of Mouse Skeletal Muscle for High throughput Microplate Respiratory Measurements

Skeletal muscle mitochondria play a specific role in many disease pathologies. As such, the measurement of oxygen consumption as an indicator of mitochondrial function in this tissue has become more prevalent. Although many technologies and assays exist that measure mitochondrial respiratory pathways in a variety of cells, tissue and species, there is currently a void in the literature in regards to the compilation of these assays using isolated mitochondria from mouse skeletal muscle for use in microplate based technologies. Importantly, the use of microplate based respirometric assays is growing among mitochondrial biologists as it allows for high throughput measurements using minimal quantities of isolated mitochondria. Therefore, a collection of microplate based respirometric assays were developed that are able to assess mechanistic changes/adaptations in oxygen consumption in a commonly used animal model. The methods presented herein provide step-by-step instructions to perform these assays with an optimal amount of mitochondrial protein and reagents, and high precision as evidenced by the minimal variance across the dynamic range of each assay.

Measurement of Mitochondrial Oxygen Consumption in Permeabilized Fibers of Drosophila Using Minimal Amounts of Tissue

The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, represents an emerging model for the study of metabolism. Indeed, drosophila have structures homologous to human organs, possess highly conserved metabolic pathways and have a relatively short lifespan that allows the study of different fundamental mechanisms in a short period of time. It is, however, surprising that one of the mechanisms essential for cellular metabolism, the mitochondrial respiration, has not been thoroughly investigated in this model. It is likely because the measure of the mitochondrial respiration in Drosophila usually requires a very large number of individuals and the results obtained are not highly reproducible. Here, a method allowing the precise measurement of mitochondrial oxygen consumption using minimal amounts of tissue from Drosophila is described. In this method, the thoraxes are dissected and permeabilized both mechanically with sharp forceps and chemically with saponin, allowing different compounds to cross the cell membrane and modulate the mitochondrial respiration. After permeabilization, a protocol is performed to evaluate the capacity of the different complexes of the electron transport system (ETS) to oxidize different substrates, as well as their response to an uncoupler and to several inhibitors. This method presents many advantages compared to methods using mitochondrial isolations, as it is more physiologically relevant because the mitochondria are still interacting with the other cellular components and the mitochondrial morphology is conserved. Moreover, sample preparations are faster, and the results obtained are highly reproducible. By combining the advantages of Drosophila as a model for the study of metabolism with the evaluation of mitochondrial respiration, important new insights can be unveiled, especially when the flies are experiencing different environmental or pathophysiological conditions.

In this paper, a method to measure oxygen consumption using high-resolution respirometry in permeabilized thoraxes of Drosophila is described. This technique requires a minimal amount of tissue compared to the classic mitochondrial isolation technique and the results obtained are more physiologically relevant.

Analytical Determination of Mitochondrial Function of Excised Solid Tumor Homogenates

Mitochondria are essential to the onset and progression of cancer through energy production, reactive oxygen species regulation, and macromolecule synthesis. Genetic and functional adaptations of mitochondria to the tumor environment drive proliferative and metastatic potential. The advent of DNA and RNA sequencing removed critical barriers to the evaluation of genetic mediators of tumorigenesis. However, to date, methodological approaches to evaluate tumor mitochondrial function remain elusive and require technical proficiency limiting the feasibility, ultimately diminishing diagnostic and prognostic value in both experimental and clinical settings. Here, we&#160;outline a simple and rapid method to quantify rates of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and electron transfer (ET) capacity in freshly excised solid tumor homogenates using high-resolution respirometry. The protocol can be reproducibly applied across species and tumor types as well as adapted to evaluate a diversity of mitochondrial ET pathways. Using this protocol, we demonstrate that mice bearing a luminal B mammary cancer exhibit defective nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked respiration and reliance on succinate to generate adenosine triphosphate via OXPHOS.

We developed a practical protocol and analytical approach to evaluate mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and electron transfer capacity in fresh tumor homogenates. This protocol can be easily adapted to survey various mitochondrial functions that contribute to cancer initiation, progression, and treatment response.

Assessment of Mitochondrial Oxygen Consumption Using a Plate Reader-based Fluorescent Assay

Mitochondria serve many important functions, including cellular respiration, ATP production, controlling apoptosis, and acting as a central hub of metabolic pathways. Therefore, experimentally assessing mitochondrial functionality can provide insight into variations among different populations or disease states. Additionally, it is valuable to assess whether isolated mitochondria are healthy enough to proceed with experiments. One characteristic often used to compare mitochondrial function in different samples is the rate of oxygen consumption. Oxygen consumption and subsequent calculation of the respiratory control ratio in either intact cells or mitochondria isolated from tissue can serve all three purposes. Using mitochondria isolated from the livers of brush lizards in conjunction with a phosphorescent probe that is sensitive to the fluctuations in oxygen concentration of a solution, we measured oxygen consumption using a fluorescent plate reader. This method is not only quick and efficient but also can be conducted with a small amount of mitochondria and without the need for specialized equipment. The step-by-step protocol described here increases the accessibility of mitochondrial functional assessment to researchers.

Robust Mitochondrial Isolation from Rodent Cardiac Tissue

Mitochondrial isolation has been practiced for decades, following procedures established by pioneers in the fields of molecular biology and biochemistry to study metabolic impairments and disease. Consistent mitochondrial quality is necessary to properly investigate mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics; however, many different published isolation methods are available for researchers. Although different experimental strategies require different isolation methods, the basic principles and procedures are similar. This protocol details a method capable of extracting well-coupled mitochondria from a variety of tissue sources, including small animals and cells. The steps outlined include organ dissection, mitochondrial purification, protein quantification, and various quality control checks. The primary quality control metric used to identify high-quality mitochondria is the respiratory control ratio (RCR). The RCR is the ratio of the respiratory rate during oxidative phosphorylation to the rate in the absence of ADP. Alternative metrics are discussed. While high RCR values relative to their tissue source are obtained using this protocol, several steps can be optimized to suit the individual needs of researchers. This procedure is robust and has consistently resulted in isolated mitochondria with above-average RCR values across animal models and tissue sources.

Multi-parameter Measurement of the Permeability Transition Pore Opening in Isolated Mouse Heart Mitochondria

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) is a non specific channel that forms in the inner mitochondrial membrane to transport solutes with a molecular mass smaller than 1.5 kDa. Although the definitive molecular identity of the pore is still under debate, proteins such as cyclophilin D, VDAC and ANT contribute to mtPTP formation. While the involvement of mtPTP opening in cell death is well established1, accumulating evidence indicates that the mtPTP serves a physiologic role during mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis2, bioenergetics and redox signaling 3.
mtPTP opening is triggered by matrix Ca2+ but its activity can be modulated by several other factors such as oxidative stress, adenine nucleotide depletion, high concentrations of Pi, mitochondrial membrane depolarization or uncoupling, and long chain fatty acids4. In vitro, mtPTP opening can be achieved by increasing Ca2+ concentration inside the mitochondrial matrix through exogenous additions of Ca2+ (calcium retention capacity). When Ca2+ levels inside mitochondria reach a certain threshold, the mtPTP opens and facilitates Ca2+ release, dissipation of the proton motive force, membrane potential collapse and an increase in mitochondrial matrix volume (swelling) that ultimately leads to the rupture of the outer mitochondrial membrane and irreversible loss of organelle function.
Here we describe a fluorometric assay that allows for a comprehensive characterization of mtPTP opening in isolated mouse heart mitochondria. The assay involves the simultaneous measurement of 3 mitochondrial parameters that are altered when mtPTP opening occurs: mitochondrial Ca2+ handling (uptake and release, as measured by Ca2+ concentration in the assay medium), mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial volume. The dyes employed for Ca2+ measurement in the assay medium and mitochondrial membrane potential are Fura FF, a membrane impermeant, ratiometric indicator which undergoes a shift in the excitation wavelength in the presence of Ca2+, and JC-1, a cationic, ratiometric indicator which forms green monomers or red aggregates at low and high membrane potential, respectively. Changes in mitochondrial volume are measured by recording light scattering by the mitochondrial suspension. Since high-quality, functional mitochondria are required for the mtPTP opening assay, we also describe the steps necessary to obtain intact, highly coupled and functional isolated heart mitochondria.

A spectrofluorometric protocol for the measurement of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening in isolated mouse heart mitochondria is presented here. The assay involves the simultaneous measurement of mitochondria Ca2+ handling, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial volume. The procedure for obtaining high-quality and functional heart mitochondria is also described.
