respirometric oxidative phosphorylation assessment in saponin-permeabilized cardiac fibers

Investigação da função mitocondrial representa um parâmetro importante da fisiologia cardíaca, como as mitocôndrias estão envolvidas no metabolismo energético, estresse oxidativo, apoptose, envelhecimento, Encefalomiopatias mitocondriais e toxicidade de drogas. Diante disso, tecnologias para medir a função mitocondrial cardíaca estão na demanda. Uma técnica que emprega uma abordagem integrativa para medir a função mitocondrial é respirométrico fosforilação oxidativa análise (OXPHOS). O princípio da avaliação OXPHOS respirométrico é centrado em torno de medir a concentração de oxigênio utilizando um eletrodo de Clark. À medida que o feixe de fibras permeabilizadas consome oxigênio a concentração de oxigênio, no declínio câmara fechada. Usando protocolos selecionados substrato inibidor desacoplador-titulação, os elétrons são fornecidos para sites específicos da cadeia de transporte de elétrons, permitindo a avaliação da função mitocondrial. Antes da análise da função mitocondrial respirométrico, mecânica e química técnicas de preparação são utilizados para permeabilizar o sarcolema das fibras musculares. Permeabilização química emprega saponina para seletivamente perfurar a membrana celular, mantendo a arquitetura celular. Este artigo descreve minuciosamente os passos envolvidos na preparação saponina de pele fibras cardíacas para medições de consumo de oxigênio para avaliar OXPHOS mitocondrial. Além disso, solução de problemas conselhos, bem como substratos específicos, inibidores e desacopladores que podem ser usados ​​para determinar a função da mitocôndria em locais específicos da cadeia de transporte de elétrons são fornecidos. Importante, o protocolo descrito podem ser facilmente aplicadas ao tecido cardíaco e esquelético de vários modelos animais e amostras humanas.
