Live cell analyses of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were measured by Seahorse XF Cell Energy Phenotype Test Kit on a Seahorse XFe96 Extracellular Flux analyzer (Agilent Technology) as previously described [27 (link)]. In brief, 4 × 103 cancer cells were seeded on each well of poly-D-lysine coated XF96 miniplates overnight and then incubated in 100 μl XF medium (10 mM glucose, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate) for 45 mins. Three measurements were obtained under basal conditions and upon sequential injection of 1 μM oligomycin (Oligo) and 1 μM fluoro-carbonyl-cyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP). OCR and ECAR values were calculated from 3-min measurement cycles and adjusted to cell numbers. OCR:ECAR ratio was calculated according to previous report [28 (link)].
