		<li>通过分析→校准开始吸光度校准程序。选择功能 "Rodbard (NIH 图像)"。在打开的窗口的左列中, 在4.1.1 中执行的校准滑块/步进片的每一步的灰度测量结果已经存在。如果没有, 请从 ImageJ 结果屏幕复制它们。在右列中, 输入与已校准的步骤片所收到的证书上打印的每个相应的已知吸光度值。刻度盒 "全局校准" 和 "显示情节", 并按 "确定"。</li>

		<li>ImageJ 现在校准, 直到你关闭程序 (因此, "全球校准")。对于吸光度测量, 校准的 ImageJ 会话总是将观察到的吸光度方法转换为介于0和1之间的值, 其中0和1分别为零和完全吸光度的渐近线。</li>
	</ol>

		<li>在 ImageJ 中, 使用椭圆工具选择单个单元格, 并使用矩形工具选择组织区域。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>测量所选细胞或组织区域的吸光度和面积。在 ImageJ 结果电子表格中, 光密度和面积被称为 "平均值" 和 "面积"。 注意: 细胞或组织区域的总吸光度 (如果你选择了几个不同大小的组织区域) 等于所有分离的像素 absorbances 的总和。如果一个细胞在1000年像素的图像, 那么总吸光度由 1000年 absorbances 的总和和平均吸光度由总 absorbance/1000 给出。此过程还避免了分布错误。</li>
	<li>确定 > 30 细胞或组织区域的平均总吸光度从控制滑块 (s), 其中包含一个样本, 暴露在控制孵化培养基缺乏基质, 但在存在的辅助因子。该控制吸光度用于控制所用显微切片、安装介质、遮盖滑移或显微镜引起的非特异酶活性染色和吸光度制品。</li>
	<li>减去与余子相同浓度 (但不同浓度的基质和/或抑制剂) 接触的样品的所有吸光度测量的平均控制吸收量。这给出了细胞或组织区域的校正总吸光度。</li>
	<li>用学生的 T 检验或单向方差分析测试的平均校正总 absorbances 进行统计学比较, 这取决于你的实验设计。</li>
	<li>Formazan 吸光度可以转化成酶活性 (每毫升µmol 转化的基质) 使用兰伯特-啤酒的定律: c = A/(є×d), 其中 c 是 Formazan 在反应介质中的浓度, A 是校准后 ImageJ 中的测量吸光度;є是 formazan 的消光系数 (16.000 在585毫微米)8和 d 是光的旅行距离, 等于平均细胞厚度或名义切片厚度 (6-10 µm 在这个协议)。 注: 干燥后, 组织断面厚度从公称断面切割厚度减少 50%, 但在上述计算中没有反映, 因为公称断面切割厚度与生物学上最相关。通过共聚焦显微镜或广域显微术, 可以确定 preparates 细胞的平均厚度和球体尺寸, 并可在别处找到协议。9,10

作者没有什么可透露的。

对细胞代谢的研究目前正在经历一个新生, 因为研究人员现在意识到新陈代谢对许多疾病的发病机制和治疗是至关重要的。1此外, 新陈代谢研究还得到了越来越多的技术的帮助, 这一领域的研究提供了比以往更多的工具, 包括质谱、放射性同位素标记和核磁共振波谱。新陈代谢图谱绝不是一种新的技术, 但它能够提供综合信息的酶活性在一个几乎真实的情况下, 使这项技术比以往任何时候都更相关。2
在所有活细胞中都发现了辅助因子 NAD + 和 NADP +, 这表明脱氢酶在进化过程中起得很早, 在细胞代谢中起着关键作用. 14,15目前, 有523种酶催化反应被归类为脱氢酶, 并发生在所有物种之间。16理论上, 通过调整此处描述的新陈代谢映射协议, 可以对所有不同脱氢酶反应的活性进行单独的研究。每一种酶反应都是独特的, 通过基质和辅助因子的活动所需的。因此, 每种酶反应的活性都可以通过在反应介质中使用适当基质和辅助因子的代谢图谱实验来确定。然而, 某些酶亚型在其细胞定位上不同,例如一个异构体催化细胞质中的反应, 而另一个异构体在线粒体中起作用。一个显著的例子是 IDH1 和 IDH2, 前者是细胞质, 后者是线粒体, 两种不同的蛋白质编码两个不同的基因。11 1-甲氧基 5-酚嗪 methylsulfate (甲氧基-pms) 和 5-酚嗪 methylsulfate (pms) 可以作为电子载体进行这些实验。前者不通过线粒体膜, 后者。因此, 对线粒体酶 (例如IDH2) 的调查应使用 PMS, 而胞浆酶 (例如IDH1) 的调查应使用 mPMS。
与许多技术一样, 这种协议的变化, 如使用不同类型的四氮唑盐, 不包括增加 PMS 和叠氮化钠, 使用水上安装介质, 和不同的孵化和冲洗时间, 确实存在, 并可能工作同样良好。四氮唑盐代谢图谱的应用不局限于脱氢酶。通过对该协议的小修改, 它也可用于评估代谢通路中脱氢酶直接上游作用的酶活性。我们以前描述了这个原则为 glutaminase 酵素,17直接地作用在谷氨酸脱氢酶的上游在 glutaminolysis 途径。18理论上, 同样的原理也适用于直接作用于脱氢酶例如乌头的其他酶, 它直接位于 tricarboxylic 酸 (TCA) 周期的 IDH2 和 IDH3 上游。表1中所描述的浓度的另一个简单变化是通过使孵化培养基瓶具有不同浓度的基质、余子和/或抑制剂。这允许产生剂量-活动曲线作为一个功能的基质, 余子和/或抑制浓度。
从技术上讲, 新陈代谢图谱实验不利于对原位酶活性的无偏观测, 因为研究人员必须选择一种基质和余子浓度, 而这些物质可能不反映基质和余子水平。就地显示。此外, 在反应介质中使用粘性 18% PVA 有助于使大分子保持完好、到位和构象, 但禁止通过反应介质有效地扩散低分子量试剂。3,5因此, 在这里描述的实验中, 使用 supraphysiological 基质浓度的确定酶活性并不能反映给定基底浓度的体内情况, 但适合于实验内比较。因此, 代谢图谱实验的结果是在所述基质和余子水平的上下文中的酶反应的生产能力 (最大活性), 目前是原位。此外, 使用不同浓度的基质和/或辅助因子和多个样本允许无偏比较的最大生产能力 (V max) 和亲和 (K m) 的酶为基板/余子的细胞制剂、组织或组织区域。这些参数是酶蛋白表达的总和, 转化后的修饰和拥挤的微环境对酶活性的影响。因此, 代谢图谱仍然是一个更好的反映酶活性比实验, 确定蛋白表达或纯化酶活性的在体外。

细胞生理学的基本基石是新陈代谢。新陈代谢为细胞提供了所有生理过程所需的能量, 提供了大分子生物合成的基石, 并对废物、有毒分子和拆卸的细胞稳态进行了调节, 并循环利用不必要或功能失调的细胞成分。酶催化几乎所有重要的细胞化学反应, 因此是细胞生理学的运动单位。1,2
酶活性在许多层次上严格调节, 因此定量酶组织化学和化学 (也称为代谢图谱) 是研究酶活性的首选方法原位。在转录水平, 基因表达到 mRNA 被调控。转录调节的作用可以通过定量 mrna 测定 (如微阵列或直接 RNA 测序) 或定性 mRNA 检测 (如原位杂交) 来确定, 提供有关 (子) 细胞的信息。mRNA 分子的定位。这使人们有可能了解细胞间转录活动的相对差异。然而, 这些 mrna 检测对代谢活动的解释和有效性是复杂的, 因为调控也发生在 mrna 水平, 其中 mrna 分子的序列和稳定性编辑后, 转录从 DNA。这个编辑调控蛋白质异构体翻译和蛋白质翻译数量在核糖体。此外, 蛋白质的翻译过程被控制, 最终影响酶的表达, 因此活动。使用定量蛋白质表达方法, 如西方印迹或反相蛋白裂解微阵列, 或定性蛋白表达法, 可以欣赏上述调控步骤的综合效果, 如免疫细胞化学和免疫组化, 但这些技术并没有纳入下游的调控作用, 如后转化的蛋白质和功能调节的酶在其拥挤的微环境。此外, 酶的表达可能与其活性差, 因此, 在细胞或组织组织匀浆或稀释溶液中的纯化酶活性测量被广泛用于酶活性研究。然而, 这些实验未能复制一个拥挤的分裂细胞质或细胞器对酶活性的影响。此外, 上述所有技术都决定了 mRNA 或酶表达的数量或本地化, 但无法提供关于酶表达的这两个方面的综合信息, 更不用说这种信息以酵素活动决心。2,3,4
代谢图谱允许对所有上述变量的评价, 以确定酶的活性。更重要的是, 代谢图谱是一种活细胞或组织成像的细胞和组织在分析期间保持完好, 以产生一个几乎真实的情况, 以产生酶活性的数据。它产生的图像, 既有利于对酶活性的位置的详细评价, 以及在细胞或组织室内的酶活性的稳健量化。3,4此处描述的脱氢酶活动代谢映射的协议基于所有可用酶组织化学方法的实验室手册, 5 关于定量酶组织化学的原理, 6 和 定量代谢图谱的图像分析。4
脱氢酶是酶, 执行氧化还原反应, 以减少标准辅助因子, 如NAD+,NADP + 和时尚 NADH, 和 FADH 2 分别.未化学固定的完整细胞或恒温器组织切片, 在反应介质中孵化, 其中含有特定脱氢酶和四氮唑盐的基质和辅助因子。随后, 该脱氢酶执行其催化活性, 并减少, 例如, NADP+ 。通过电子载体, 2 分子最终将1水溶性半无色四氮唑盐分子减少为1水溶性蓝 formazan 分子, 立即沉淀在脱氢酶的部位。因此, 沉淀 formazan 的吸光度是一种直接测量脱氢酶局部活性的方法, 可以用光镜观察或用单色显微镜和图像分析的方法进行量化。这个协议的数量方面使研究人员能够从这些化验中得出统计结论。此外, 这种量化有助于确定原位的动力学酶参数, 如最大酶活性 (V最大) 和亲和性的基质为酶 (Km)。3,4,5,6
在规划一个代谢图谱实验时, 重要的是要认识到, 每一个实验, 建议最多五十玻片与黏附细胞制剂或组织切片, 以尽量减少时间延迟孵化期间, 以获得一致的结果。当这些协议步骤由多个实验者协同执行时, 可以处理更多的幻灯片和/或介质组合。此外, 实验之间存在一些变异性。因此, 相同的实验应重复至少3次与 cytospins 从每个细胞的准备或切片从每个组织样本和适当的控制应该包括在每个实验。在没有基质的情况下, 总是准备一个控制孵化培养基, 但在辅助因子的存在下, 控制非特异酶活性染色。最有代表性的结果是在实验中获得了不同的基质/余子浓度被应用于组织切片或细胞制剂从同一样本, 使实验者可以进行酶动力学分析, 利用剂量-活动曲线。

metabolic mapping: quantitative enzyme cytochemistry and histochemistry to determine the activity of dehydrogenases in cells and tissues

细胞代谢的改变是许多疾病的标志, 包括癌症, 心血管疾病和感染。细胞代谢运动单元为酶, 其活性在许多层次上受到严格调控, 包括转录、mRNA 稳定性、平移、后转化和功能水平。这一复杂的调控意味着常规的定量或成像检测, 如定量 mRNA 实验, 西方印迹和免疫组化, 产生不完全信息关于酶的终极活动, 它们的功能和/或它们的亚细胞定位。定量酶化学和组织化学 (即,代谢映射) 显示了关于原位酶活性及其动力学、功能和亚细胞定位的深入信息, 在一个几乎真实的情况下。
我们描述了一种检测脱氢酶活性的协议, 这些酶是执行氧化还原反应以减少辅助因子, 如 NAD (P) + 和时尚的酵素。细胞和组织切片的孵化在一个特定的酶活性的一个脱氢酶的培养基。随后, 作为调查对象的脱氢酶在其亚细胞部位进行酶活性。在反应介质的化学反应中, 这最终会在脱氢酶的活性部位产生蓝色 formazan。因此, formazan 的吸光度直接测量脱氢酶的活性, 可以用单色光镜和图像分析来量化。这个协议的数量方面使研究人员能够从这些化验中得出统计结论。
除观察研究外, 该技术还可用于特定酶的抑制研究。在这种情况下, 研究得益于新陈代谢映射的真实到自然的优势, 给予就地结果, 这可能与体外酶抑制研究相比,在生理上更相关。总之, 代谢图谱是研究细胞或组织水平代谢的不可缺少的技术。该技术易于采用, 提供了深入、全面、综合的代谢信息, 能够快速定量分析。

为了研究特定脱氢酶的活性, 我们展示了几种制备孵化培养基的规程。对于每个脱氢酶, 在 PVA 溶液中溶解所列出的试剂, 同时保持至少37摄氏度的温度。试剂应按照表中列出的顺序溶解,即nitroBT 总是先溶解, (m) PMS 总是最后溶解。每5毫克的 nitroBT 溶解在40µL 混合 (20 µL 乙醇 + 20 µL 甲基酰胺)。所有容量是每1毫升 18% PVA 溶液, 可用于染色 ~ 2 组织切片或 ~ 4 细胞制剂在玻璃幻灯片。NitroBT、NAD+、NADP+、ADP 和基板解决方案应新鲜地进行。NaN3、氯化镁2和 (m) PMS 解决方案可以存储在4°c 一个月。18% 在磷酸盐缓冲液中溶解的 PVA 可贮存在60摄氏度2周。18% PVA 溶液的 pH 值可以用0.1 米磷酸二氢钾 (即2PO4) 和 0.1 M 钠磷酸氢 (NA2HPO4) 缓冲区的不同成分来设置。显示潜伏期提供了良好的起点, 但最佳潜伏期取决于物种, 组织类型和保存的组织。一般而言, 细胞制剂的孵化时间应长于组织切片, 以获得类似的 formazan 生产水平。
野生型异柠檬酸脱氢酶1和 2 (IDH1/2) 催化异柠檬酸到αα-(αKG) 的转化, 并随NADP + 的相应减少, 分别在细胞质和线粒体中的。这些酶最近引起了兴趣, 因为IDH1/2突变发生在各种类型的人类癌症, 包括原发性脑癌 (胶质瘤) 和结直肠癌, 并提供了一个独特的机会, 以证明的可能性代谢图谱。IDH1突变禁用 IDH1 野生型酶活性, 也会诱发新酶活性, 导致 oncometabolite d-2-戊 (D-2HG) 的生产和随后积累,11这是在其他地方详细讨论。12代谢映射实验表明, 在异型IDH1突变的结直肠癌细胞中, NADP+依赖性 IDH1/2 活性明显低于IDH1野生类型 (图 1A)。这种差异是通过对单色光显微照片 (图1B) 的图像分析来量化的。12
在图 2中显示了新陈代谢映射实验的另一个例子, 这是一个恒温器的小鼠大脑的图像, 它是用人脑胶质瘤细胞注射的。IDH1/2 是人脑中最重要的上调, 其活性在野生型IDH1/2胶质母细胞瘤中有很大的作用, 而 IDH1/2 在啮齿类动物脑中的能力更低。11图 2A显示了人脑胶质瘤细胞中高 NADP+依赖性 IDH1/2 活动与正常小鼠大脑中 NADP+依赖性 IDH1/2 活动之间的差异。在图 2B中, IDH1/2 活动被量化为每分钟组织每毫升的µmol 产量。
IDH1/2 的酶反应相对简单, 但乳酸脱氢酶 (LDH) 是一种较为复杂的酶复合物。乳酸脱氢酶通过将 NAD+还原为 NADH 或反之亦然, 将乳酸的可逆转化为丙酮酸。乳酸和丙酮酸的供应以及 LDH 酶复合物的组成决定了乳酸是否主要转化为丙酮酸 (由 LDH B 和产量 NADH 催化), 或者丙酮酸酯是否主要转化为乳酸 (这是由 LDH A 催化并消耗 NADH)。13代谢映射实验能够可视化 ldh-B 反应的活性, 但它们对 ldh 的活性是 "盲目的"-反应是因为 NADH 的生产不会发生, 因此 nitroBT 不会降低到 formazan。图 3显示了在缺少基板 (图 3A) 的情况下, 在高浓度乳酸 (图 3B) 的情况下, 由 NAD+相关的 LDH 活性 (,即将乳酸转化为丙酮酸) 在人脑部分.), 在存在6毫米乳酸 (图 3C) 和在存在低浓度乳酸和较高浓度的丙酮酸 (图 3D)。这些实验的结果说明新陈代谢的映射充分地捕获了在组织切片中的 NAD+依赖的 LDH 活性取决于乳酸和丙酮酸在反应培养基中的可用性。

Quantification of Bacterial Histidine Kinase Autophosphorylation Using a Nitrocellulose Binding Assay

We demonstrate a useful method for quantifying autophosphorylation of purified bacterial histidine kinases. Histidine kinases are known for their involvement in two-component signal transduction, a ubiquitous system through which bacteria sense and respond to environmental stimuli. Two-component signaling features autophosphorylation of a histidine kinase, followed by phosphotransfer to the receiver domain of a response regulator protein, which ultimately leads to an output response. Autophosphorylation of the histidine kinase is responsive to the presence of a cognate environmental stimulus, thereby giving bacteria a means to detect and respond to changes in the environment. Despite their importance in bacterial biology, histidine kinases remain poorly understood due to the inherent lability of phosphohistidine. Conventional methods for studying these proteins, such as SDS-PAGE autoradiography, have significant shortcomings. We have developed a nitrocellulose binding assay that can be used to characterize histidine kinases. The protocol for this assay is simple and easy to execute. Our method is higher throughput, less time-consuming, and offers a greater dynamic range than SDS-PAGE autoradiography.

We report and demonstrate an optimized nitrocellulose binding assay that can be used to quantify autophosphorylation of purified bacterial histidine kinases. Our method has several advantages over traditional SDS-PAGE based techniques, providing a valuable alternative for characterizing these important proteins.

Protein Film Infrared Electrochemistry Demonstrated for Study of H2 Oxidation by a [NiFe] Hydrogenase

Understanding the chemistry of redox proteins demands methods that provide precise control over redox centers within the protein. The technique of protein film electrochemistry, in which a protein is immobilized on an electrode surface such that the electrode replaces physiological electron donors or acceptors, has provided functional insight into the redox reactions of a range of different proteins. Full chemical understanding requires electrochemical control to be combined with other techniques that can add additional structural and mechanistic insight. Here we demonstrate a technique, protein film infrared electrochemistry, which combines protein film electrochemistry with infrared spectroscopic sampling of redox proteins. The technique uses a multiple-reflection attenuated total reflectance geometry to probe a redox protein immobilized on a high surface area carbon black electrode. Incorporation of this electrode into a flow cell allows solution pH or solute concentrations to be changed during measurements. This is particularly powerful in addressing redox enzymes, where rapid catalytic turnover can be sustained and controlled at the electrode allowing spectroscopic observation of long-lived intermediate species in the catalytic mechanism. We demonstrate the technique with experiments on E. coli hydrogenase 1 under turnover (H2 oxidation) and non-turnover conditions.

Simultaneous Measurement of Superoxide/Hydrogen Peroxide and NADH Production by Flavin-containing Mitochondrial Dehydrogenases

It has been reported that mitochondria can contain up to 12 enzymatic sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS). A majority of these sites include flavin-dependent respiratory complexes and dehydrogenases that produce a mixture of superoxide (O2&#9679;-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Accurate quantification of the ROS-producing potential of individual sites in isolated mitochondria can be challenging due to the presence of antioxidant defense systems&#160;and side reactions that also form O2&#9679;-/H2O2. Use&#160;of nonspecific inhibitors that can disrupt mitochondrial bioenergetics can also compromise measurements by altering&#160;ROS release from other sites of production. Here, we present an easy method for the simultaneous measurement of H2O2 release and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) production by purified flavin-linked dehydrogenases. For our purposes here, we have used purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) and &#945;-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) of porcine heart origin as examples. This method allows for an accurate measure of native H2O2 release rates by individual sites of production by eliminating other potential sources of ROS and antioxidant systems. In addition, this method allows for a direct comparison of the relationship between H2O2 release and enzyme activity and the screening of the effectiveness and selectivity of inhibitors for ROS production. Overall, this approach can allow for the in-depth assessment of native rates of ROS release for individual enzymes prior to conducting more sophisticated experiments with isolated mitochondria or permeabilized muscle fiber.

Mitochondria contain several flavin-dependent enzymes that can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Monitoring ROS release from individual sites in mitochondria is challenging due to unwanted side reactions. We present an easy, inexpensive method for direct assessment of native rates for ROS release using purified flavoenzymes and microplate fluorometry.

Mapping Metabolism: Monitoring Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Directly in Tissue

Mapping enzymatic activity in space and time is critical for understanding the molecular basis of cell behavior in normal tissue and disease. In situ metabolic activity assays can provide information about the spatial distribution of metabolic activity within a tissue. We provide here a detailed protocol for monitoring the activity of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase directly in tissue samples. Lactate dehydrogenase is an important determinant of whether consumed glucose will be converted to energy via aerobic or anaerobic glycolysis. A solution containing lactate and NAD is provided to a frozen tissue section. Cells with high lactate dehydrogenase activity will convert the provided lactate to pyruvate, while simultaneously converting provided nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH and a proton, which can be detected based on the reduction of nitrotetrazolium blue to formazan, which is visualized as a blue precipitate. We describe a detailed protocol for monitoring lactate dehydrogenase activity in mouse skin. Applying this protocol, we found that lactate dehydrogenase activity is high in the quiescent hair follicle stem cells within the skin. Applying the protocol to cultured mouse embryonic stem cells revealed higher staining in cultured embryonic stem cells than mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Analysis of freshly isolated mouse aorta revealed staining in smooth muscle cells perpendicular to the aorta. The methodology provided can be used to spatially map the activity of enzymes that generate a proton in frozen or fresh tissue.

We describe a protocol for mapping the spatial distribution of enzymatic activity for enzymes that generate nicotinatmide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P)H) + H+ directly in tissue samples.

Ecotoxicological Methodologies to Evaluate Biomarkers at Different Scales in Neotropical Anurans

The new questions in ecotoxicology highlight the importance of applying a battery of biomarkers, as this results in ecotoxicological predictions that improve not only the interpretation of the effects of environmental stressors on organisms but also the determination of their possible impact. It is well known that the use of ecotoxicological biomarkers at different levels of organization allows for the prediction of the biological responses of organisms to environmental stressors, which is useful in environmental risk assessment. 
Nevertheless, it is necessary to consider the optimization of basic procedures, to generate historical data in control groups, and to employ specific bioassays to evaluate responses in organs and tissues in order to elucidate the nature and variation of the effects observed. Therefore, the present work aims to describe several ecotoxicological methodologies employed in all stages of neotropical anurans at different ecological levels and to validate them as useful biomarkers to be used both in wildlife and in laboratory conditions. In this work, these biomarkers were applied at the individual/organismic level (body condition index), histological/physiological level (histopathology, histometric, and pigmentary analyses), biochemical level (oxidative stress enzymes), and genetic level (direct and oxidative damage in DNA by comet assay). 
Although these methodologies have small variations or modifications depending on the species, these techniques provide effective biomarkers for evaluating the effect of xenobiotics on anurans, which possess certain characteristics that make them useful indicator species of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In conclusion, the battery of biomarkers employed in the present study has proven to be adequate for estimating toxic responses in Neotropical anurans and can be further recommended as bioindicators for identifying the impact of pollutants on the aquatic ecosystems of the region. Finally, it is recommended to achieve the standardization of these important biomarkers for anurans in specific regions as well as to possibly include them in risk assessments and decision-making.

Assessment of Mitochondrial Health in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Isolated from 3D Multicellular Lung Tumor Spheroids

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are among the most abundant stromal cells present in the tumor microenvironment, facilitating tumor growth and progression. Complexity within the tumor microenvironment, including tumor secretome, low-grade inflammation, hypoxia, and redox imbalance, fosters heterotypic interaction and allows the transformation of inactive resident fibroblasts to become active CAFs. CAFs are metabolically distinguished from normal fibroblasts (NFs) as they are more glycolytically active, produce higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and overexpress lactate exporter MCT-4, leading to the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). Here a method has been described to analyze the mitochondrial health of activated CAFs isolated from the multicellular 3D tumor spheroids comprising of human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549), human monocytes (THP-1), and human lung fibroblast cells (MRC5). Tumor spheroids were disintegrated at different time intervals and through magnetic-activated cell sorting, CAFs were isolated. The mitochondrial membrane potential of CAFs was assessed using JC-1 dye, ROS production by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA) staining, and enzyme activity in the isolated CAFs. Analyzing the mitochondrial health of isolated CAFs provides a better understanding of the reverse Warburg effect and can also be applied to study the consequences of CAF mitochondrial changes, such as metabolic fluxes and the corresponding regulatory mechanisms on lung cancer heterogeneity. Thus, the present study advocates an understanding of tumor-stroma interactions on mitochondrial health. It would provide a platform to check mitochondrial-specific drug candidates for their efficacies against CAFs as potential therapeutics in the tumor microenvironment, thereby preventing CAF involvement in lung cancer progression.

Multicellular 3D tumor spheroids were prepared with lung adenocarcinoma cells, fibroblasts, and monocytes, followed by the isolation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from these spheroids. Isolated CAFs were compared with normal fibroblasts to assess mitochondrial health by studying the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, reactive oxygen species, and enzymatic activities.

Oxygen-Independent Assays to Measure Mitochondrial Function in Mammals

The flow of electrons in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) supports multifaceted biosynthetic, bioenergetic, and signaling functions in mammalian cells. As oxygen (O2) is the most ubiquitous terminal electron acceptor for the mammalian ETC, the O2 consumption rate is frequently used as a proxy for mitochondrial function. However, emerging research demonstrates that this parameter is not always indicative of mitochondrial function, as fumarate can be employed as an alternative electron acceptor to sustain mitochondrial functions in hypoxia. This article compiles a series of protocols that allow researchers to measure mitochondrial function independently of the O2 consumption rate. These assays are particularly useful when studying mitochondrial function in hypoxic environments. Specifically, we describe methods to measure mitochondrial ATP production, de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, NADH oxidation by complex I, and superoxide production. In combination with classical respirometry experiments, these orthogonal and economical assays will provide researchers with a more comprehensive assessment of mitochondrial function in their system of interest.
