respirometric oxidative phosphorylation assessment in saponin-permeabilized cardiac fibers

Investigación de la función mitocondrial representa un parámetro importante de la fisiología cardiaca como las mitocondrias están implicadas en el metabolismo energético, el estrés oxidativo, la apoptosis, el envejecimiento, encefalomiopatías mitocondrial y la toxicidad del fármaco. Teniendo en cuenta esto, las tecnologías para medir la función mitocondrial cardiaco están en demanda. Una técnica que emplea un enfoque integral para medir la función mitocondrial es respirométrica fosforilación oxidativa (OXPHOS) análisis. El principio de la evaluación de la fosforilación oxidativa respirometría se centra en medir la concentración de oxígeno que utiliza un electrodo de Clark. A medida que el haz de fibras permeabilized consume el oxígeno, la concentración de oxígeno en la disminución de cámara cerrada. Utilizando sustrato seleccionado desacoplador inhibidor de los protocolos de valoración, los electrones se proporcionan a sitios específicos de la cadena de transporte de electrones, lo que permite la evaluación de la función mitocondrial. Técnicas de preparación antes del análisis de respirometría de la función mitocondrial, mecánicos y químicos se utilizan para permeabilizar el sarcolema de las fibras musculares. Permeabilización química emplea saponina para perforar de forma selectiva la membrana celular, manteniendo la arquitectura celular. Este documento describe minuciosamente los pasos a seguir en la preparación de saponina de piel fibras cardiacas para medir el consumo de oxígeno para evaluar la fosforilación oxidativa mitocondrial. Además, la solución de problemas asesoramiento, así como sustratos específicos, los inhibidores y desacopladores de que se puede utilizar para determinar el funcionamiento de las mitocondrias en sitios específicos de la cadena de transporte electrónico se proporcionan. Es importante destacar que el protocolo descrito puede aplicarse fácilmente en el tejido cardíaco y esquelético de varios modelos animales y muestras humanas.
