In vitro stimulated human (anti-CD3 + anti-CD46) or mouse (anti-CD3 + anti-CD28) CD4+ T cells (stimulated for 22–24 hours) were resuspended in serum-free unbuffered Seahorse XF RPMI medium (#103576–100, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara,CA) that was supplemented with glucose, glutamine and sodium pyruvate. These CD4 T cells were plated onto Cell-Tak (#354241; Corning, Reinach, Switzerland) coated seahorse cell plates at 2.5×105 per well. Metabolic profiling was achieved by the perturbation of specific metabolic pathways by the addition of oligomycin (#O4876; 1 μM), Carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP, #C2920; 2 μM) and rotenone (#R8875; 1 μM) +/− Antimycin A (#A8674; 0.5uM) - all from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO).

Assessment of mitochondrial respiration in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells was performed using an XF24 extracellular flux analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience, North Billerica, MA) as described by Gerencser et. al., with modifications [34 (link)]. Briefly, cells were seeded into 20 wells of a XF24 V7 microplate at a density of 5,000 cells per well. Cells were grown to 80% confluence and differentiated into myotubes. Experiments were conducted in serum free media containing 25mmol glucose, 110mg/L pyruvate, and 4mM glutamate. Experiments consisted of 3-minute mixing, 2-minute wait, and 3-minute measurement cycles. Oxygen consumption was measured as previously described under basal conditions, in the presence of the ATP synthase inhibitor, oligomycin (state 4O; 0.5 μM, O4876; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and in the presence of Carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (state 3u; FCCP; 300 μM, C2920; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) a mitochondrial uncoupler, to assess maximal respiration [34 (link),35 (link)]. Cellular respiratory control ratio (cRCR) was calculated as the ratio of FCCP stimulated maximal respiratory rate over oligomycin induced state 4 respiration. Data are expressed as percent change from baseline values to account for potential differences in cell number across wells. All experiments were performed at 37 °C.

Mitochondrial Respiration and ATP Levels

The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using a Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). SH-SY5Y cells were grown in Seahorse XF96 microplates (20,000 cells per well) for 72 h post knock-down. SH-SY5Y cells OCR analysis was performed in sodium bicarbonate and phenol red free DMEM (#D5030, Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with l-glutamine 4 mM, d-glucose 25 mM, pH = 7.4, at 37 °C without CO2. Baseline OCR was measured followed by sequential injection of the following drugs: oligomycin 1 μM (#75351, Sigma Aldrich), carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone 1.5 μM (FCCP, # C2920 Sigma Aldrich), and Antimycin A 0.5 μM (# A8674 Sigma Aldrich) with rotenone 0.5 μM (#R8875, Sigma Aldrich). OCR values were reported according to the Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test (Agilent) and values obtained in pmolO2/min were normalized to the total amount of protein. Representative traces are shown in Figure 1D with each point representing the average values of 6 different independent cultures.
Total ATP levels were measured using the CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (# G7570, Promega, Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the negative control condition, cells were pre-treated for 1 h with 5 µM mitochondrial complex III inhibitor Antimycin A. Luminescence was normalized to protein concentration.

Measuring Mitochondrial Respiration in BMDMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using a Seahorse XF-96 Flux Analyzer (Seahorse Biosciences, Billerica, MA). The culture medium consisted of DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and penicillin-streptomycin-amphotericin B. BMDMs were seeded in an XF-96 culture plate at a density of 1 × 105 cells/well and incubated overnight. The cells were treated with FAC for 16 h. The assay medium comprised the XF base medium (Seahorse Biosciences) supplemented with 5.5 mM D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1X GlutaMAX™ (Gibco), adjusted to pH 7.4. The inhibitors were used in the following concentrations: oligomycin A (2 μmol/L; Sigma-Aldrich), carbonyl cyanide-4 (trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 1 μmol/L; Sigma-Aldrich), rotenone (3 μmol/L; Sigma-Aldrich), and antimycin A (3 μmol/L; Sigma-Aldrich). In short, oligomycin inhibits ATP synthase (complex V), and the decrease in OCR represents cellular ATP production. FCCP is an uncoupling agent to calculate spare respiratory capacity. A combination of rotenone, a complex I inhibitor, and antimycin A, a complex III inhibitor, shuts down mitochondrial respiration and enables the calculation of nonmitochondrial respiration.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
