Study participants spent approximately 24-h period in a whole-room indirect calorimeter (28 (link)), and followed a structured protocol for simultaneous measurements of PA and EE. The protocol included a broad range of pursuits ranging from moderate and vigorous to light and sedentary tasks, including eating meals and snacks and self-care activities. During times (30 to 120 minutes) when no activity was specifically scheduled, the participants were asked to engage in their normal daily routine as much as possible without specific suggestions. They also recorded their activities in a diary with a detailed schedule, reporting any episodes of accidental monitor nonwear intervals and other relevant comments. Sleep was defined as the period of time spent lying on a mattress at night between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am without any significant movement as determined by the floor (force platform) in the room calorimeter. The participants were instructed how to record their activities in a provided diary with a detailed schedule and a timeline. They checked off each scheduled activity and reported any episodes of accidental monitor nonwear intervals and other relevant information (e.g. treadmill speed) or comments. During the day, staff was available for assistance and the dairy was discussed with each participant after finishing the study.
Body weight was measured to the nearest 0.01 kg with a digital scale and height was measured using a wall-mounted stadiometer. The minute-to-minute EE was calculated from the rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production (33 (link)). Nonwear EE was calculated by summing EE measured by the room calorimeter during time intervals detected as nonwear by each algorithm.
The PA was measured by commercially available Actigraph GT1M accelerometer (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL), calibrated by the manufacturer placed on the anterior axillary line of the hip on the dominant side of the body. Among commercially available accelerometers, the Actigraph used in the present study provides consistent and high quality data, supported by its feasibility, reliability and validity (9 (link)). The monitor reports counts from the summation of the measured accelerations over a specified epoch (1 ). Actigraph data were collected at a 1-second epoch and summed as counts per minute.

Clark electrode assays performed for comparative purposes utilized a Hansatech Oxytherm apparatus (PP Systems, Amesbury, MA) for rat heart mitochondria or a Rank system (Rank Brothers, Bottisham, Cambridge, England) for mouse liver mitochondria. For rat heart mitochondria, assays were performed in parallel with the same mitochondrial preparation, MAS, substrates and compounds as for the XF24 assays. Typically 62.5–125 µg of mitochondria were used in a volume of 500 µl MAS plus the appropriate substrate. Respiration was initiated by adding mitochondria, and followed by sequential addition of ADP, oligomycin and FCCP. Concentrations of substrate, ADP, oligomycin, and FCCP were identical to those used in the XF24 experiments. For mouse liver mitochondria, assays were performed in parallel the same mitochondrial preparation, MAS, substrates and compounds as for the XF24 assays with the following modifications: substrate was 5 mM succinate, 2 µM rotenone and 300 µM ADP was used. Typically, 0.3 mg/ml of mitochondria were used in a volume of 2.0–3.5 ml MAS plus the appropriate substrate. Respiration was initiated by adding mitochondria, followed by sequential addition of ADP, oligomycin and FCCP. Concentrations of oligomycin and FCCP were identical to those used in the XF24 experiments. Oxygen consumption rates were converted from nmol O/min/ml to pmol O2/min/µg mitochondrial protein.

There are several methods available to measure respiration of living samples, which can be globally divided into two groups: O2-dependent quenching of porphyrin-based phosphors (Seahorse Bioscience XF respirometer and Luxcel MitoXpress) and amperometric O2 sensors (Clark electrodes, including the widely adopted Oroboros system)1 ,42 (link). Historically, the amperometric approach has been the main method used to assess mitochondrial respiration in C. elegans. For the amperometric approach, nematodes are delivered into a single respiratory chamber, which is separated from two half-cells by O2-permeable material. In this way, only O2 can diffuse from the assay medium through the membrane. When a small voltage is applied to the half-cells, O2 is reduced by electrons at the cathode yielding hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, H2O2 oxidizes the Ag (silver) of the Ag/AgCl anode, which results in an electrical current that is proportional to the O2 pressure – and thus concentration – in the experimental respiratory chamber.
Apart from the detection modality, differences of the XF respirometric method appear at the level of number of worms per assay, replicates, multiple, or real-time measurements and the ability to inject compounds during an experiment (Table 1). The Clark electrode approach requires thousands (~2000-5000) of worms in a single chamber to obtain an estimation of the oxygen consumption rate43 (link). Performing multiple measurements, biological replicates and comparing conditions provide the biggest challenges within the Clark electrode method as the traditional set-up only allows the measurements of one sample at a time. In contrast, a XF96 respirometer requires ~10-20 worms per well to acquire a reproducible oxygen consumption rate, measurements can be easily and quickly (in the order of minutes) repeated in an automated way and since XF respirometers can analyse whole plates at the same time, about 96 conditions/replicates can be tested at once. An additional difference is the presence of drug-injection ports that can be programmed to inject compounds in all 96 wells at time points that are specified a priori during an XF respirometer experiment. Clark electrode systems also allow injection of compounds, and even offer flexibility with respect to the timing, dosing and number of additions as compounds are injected manually during the course of the assay. However, precise timing of manual additions between replicate experiments may be challenging.
More similar to the Seahorse XF respirometer method is the Luxcel MitoXpress O2 consumption assay, which relies on O2-dependent quenching of porphyrin-based phosphor. The MitoXpress kits provide a way of performing real-time analysis of cellular respiration, via an oxygen-quenching fluorophore system. Worms are placed into the wells of a 96- or 384-well plate, the kit reagents are added, and measurements are made in a fluorometric plate reader. Multiple conditions and replicates can be tested side-by-side in the wells of a single plate, but repeated measurements over time are more challenging as there is typically no automatized mixing system integrated in the plates or plate-readers to restore basal O2 levels. In addition, single estimation of the OCR takes >90 minutes, while careful estimations of the OCR in the XF respirometer approach takes only 2-5 minutes of measuring time. Finally, the use of compounds to assess multiple aspects of mitochondrial function related to oxygen consumption is limited since compounds need to be injected manually immediately prior to the start of the experiment.

Using a similar methodology as described by Freedson et al. [13 (link)], each accelerometer was initialized per manufacturers instructions, and the sampling period was set at 1 minute, raw output was expressed as counts per minute (cpm) prior to each testing session. To evaluate the validity of the GT1M (Actigraph, Pensacola, FL) and the GT3X (Actigraph, Pensacola, FL) against oxygen consumption, all participants wore both accelerometers simultaneously, over the right hip and secured it with the same adjustable elastic belt and buckle supplied by the manufacturers. After a standardized 10 minute familiarization period on a calibrated treadmill, participants performed 6 minutes of the following exercise conditions: slow walking (4.8 km.h-1), fast walking (6.4 km.h-1), and running (9.7 km.h-1), and the order of exercise conditions was random across participants. All exercise bouts were performed at 0% grade due to the known limitations of the GT1M [15 (link)]. Each exercise bout was separated by a 5-minute rest period, this rest period was standardized for each participant, as previously described by Freedson et al. [13 (link)]. While study participants reported no know contradictions to exercise, as a precaution, exercise heart rate was monitored using a Polar T31 transmitter and receiver (Lake Success, NY, US). Following the testing session both accelerometers were immediately downloaded as per the manufactures instructions using firmware version 5.10.

Example 2

The next experiments asked whether inhibition of the same set of FXN-RFs would also upregulate transcription of the TRE-FXN gene in post-mitotic neurons, which is the cell type most relevant to FA. To derive post-mitotic FA neurons, FA(GM23404) iPSCs were stably transduced with lentiviral vectors over-expressing Neurogenin-1 and Neurogenin-2 to drive neuronal differentiation, according to published methods (Busskamp et al. 2014, Mol Syst Biol 10:760); for convenience, these cells are referred to herein as FA neurons. Neuronal differentiation was assessed and confirmed by staining with the neuronal marker TUJ1 (FIG. 2A). As expected, the FA neurons were post-mitotic as evidenced by the lack of the mitotic marker phosphorylated histone H3 (FIG. 2B). Treatment of FA neurons with an shRNA targeting any one of the 10 FXN-RFs upregulated TRE-FXN transcription (FIG. 2C) and increased frataxin (FIG. 2D) to levels comparable to that of normal neurons. Likewise, treatment of FA neurons with small molecule FXN-RF inhibitors also upregulated TRE-FXN transcription (FIG. 2E) and increased frataxin (FIG. 2F) to levels comparable to that of normal neurons.

It was next determined whether shRNA-mediated inhibition of FXN-RFs could ameliorate two of the characteristic mitochondrial defects of FA neurons: (1) increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and (2) decreased oxygen consumption. To assay for mitochondrial dysfunction, FA neurons an FXN-RF shRNA or treated with a small molecule FXN-RF inhibitor were stained with MitoSOX, (an indicator of mitochondrial superoxide levels, or ROS-generating mitochondria) followed by FACS analysis. FIG. 3A shows that FA neurons expressing an NS shRNA accumulated increased mitochondrial ROS production compared to EZH2- or HDAC5-knockdown FA neurons. FIG. 3B shows that FA neurons had increased levels of mitochondrial ROS production compared to normal neurons (Codazzi et al., (2016) Hum Mol Genet 25(22): 4847-485). Notably, inhibition of FXN-RFs in FA neurons restored mitochondrial ROS production to levels comparable to that observed in normal neurons. In the second set of experiments, mitochondrial oxygen consumption, which is related to ATP production, was measured using an Agilent Seahorse XF Analyzer (Divakaruni et al., (2014) Methods Enzymol 547:309-54). FIG. 3C shows that oxygen consumption in FA neurons was ˜60% of the level observed in normal neurons. Notably, inhibition of FXN-RFs in FA neurons restored oxygen consumption to levels comparable to that observed in normal neurons. Collectively, these preliminary results provide important proof-of-concept that inhibition of FXN-RFs can ameliorate the mitochondrial defects of FA post-mitotic neurons.

Mitochondrial dysfunction results in reduced levels of several mitochondrial Fe-S proteins, such as aconitase 2 (ACO2), iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme (ISCU) and NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S3 (NDUFS3), and lipoic acid-containing proteins, such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH), as well as elevated levels of mitochondria superoxide dismutase (SOD2) (Urrutia et al., (2014) Front Pharmacol 5:38). Immunoblot analysis is performed using methods known in the art to determine whether treatment with an FXN-RF shRNA or a small molecule FXN-RF inhibitor restores the normal levels of these mitochondrial proteins in FA neurons.

All participants underwent a graded CPET on a bicycle ergometer (Ergoselect 150P, ergoline GmbH, Bitz, Germany) within 1 week before HIIT. Minute ventilation ( V E) and oxygen consumption ( V O2) were measured breath by breath using a computer-based system (CareFusion MasterScreen CPX, CPX International Inc., Germany). V O2peak was defined as described in the ACSM guidelines for graded CPETs [26 ]. The  oxygen uptake efficiency sloe (OUES) during exercise was determined as described in our previous work [7 (link)]. A noninvasive continuous cardiac output (CO) monitoring system (NICOM, Cheetah Medical, Wilmington, DE, USA) was used to measure peak CO (COex) during CPET. The CPET procedure and determination of cardiorespiratory parameters are detailed in Additional file 2.
