Chavanelle 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumFatty oxidation in permeabilised db/db mice muscle fibres, in Mir05 + Cr +37°C. We found that ADP-stimulated respiration in presence of 0,02 mM of palmitoyl-carnitine (OXPHOS) is very close to the non-ADP-stimulated respiration (LEAK state) when working with these conditions. (Values around 14 to 20 (pmol/s/mg w.t.) for LEAK state and 15 to 24 (pmol/s/mg w.t.) for fatty acid triggered-OXPHOS). These data suggest either a very poor ability for this animal model to use palmitoylcarnitine or a very high LEAK state (or both!)

Protocol

  1. 2,2 mL mir05+Cr was added in the chambers and oxygen was added to the medium up to 400 – 450 nmol/mL
  2. Chambers were closed
  3. 10µM Amplex Red was added to the chambers
  4. 2 U HRP was added
  5. 10 U SOD was added
  6. 20µM Palmitoyl-Carnitine was added
  7. 2 mM Malate was added
  8. 1 to 3 mg wet permeabilised muscle fibers was added
  9. LEAK state was recorded
  10. Mg+ was added
  11. 2,5 mM ADP was added
  12. Pal-C stimulated OXPHOS was recorded
The tissue used was skeletal muscle (Gastrocnemius)

Chicco 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumWe have used palmitoylcarnitine for most of our studies, but have found it to behave inconsistently in the past, and differently than OctCrn when the two have been compared. So, we have used both, but would be best represented by Palmitoylcarnitine.Palmitoylcarnitine

Ljubkovic 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumI am sending you a graph with some mitochondrial respiration measurements obtained from the left ventricular human tissue of patients undergoing CABG surgery. As can be seen from the graph, we used FFA substrate to evoke the State 2 and State 3 respiration, and then followed with other substrates and an uncoupler. FFA substrate was palmitoyl-carnitine (40 µM concentration). We performed quite a few of experiments using palmitoyl-carnitine, also in the range of concentrations from 1 – 40 µM. We usually see a gradual increase in State 3 respiration with concentration increments (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 40 µM). However, the respiration is always lower then when pyruvate is used (although in much higher concentration, from 2 mM up). All of the observations come from the human left ventricular tissue, that we almost exclusively use in past couple of years for our experiments on mitochondria (we also measured activity of some enzymes and protein expression).PalmitoylcarnitineHumanHeart

Madlala 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumWe have assessed beta oxidation in permeabilised skeletal muscle fibres. We initially used palmitoylcarnitine in our analysis but we realised that using this substrate for assessing beta oxidation in skeletal muscle of rat does not work (no response in respiration). This is also documented in literature; absence of LCAD in rat skeletal muscle so we decided to use octanoylcarnitine instead and it works well. Afterwards the muscle is responsive to ADP and uncoupler titrations. However, we use this in combination with malate.Octanoylcarnitine + Malate

Makrecka 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumWe have examined fatty acid oxidation in permeabilized muscle fibres and cardiac fibres and in isolated cardiac mitochondria of rats and mice. Since the area of our research is the regulation of energy metabolism, the determination of fatty acid oxidation is one of the typical measurements. Which substrate we use, is dependent on the aim (include CPT I (rate limiting step) or not). In addition, presence of BSA in media and used carnitine concentration are always under discussions (physiological or not physiological).Palmitoylcarnitine + MalateMouse

McCurdy 2015 Fatty Acid Oxidation O2k-Network Discussion ForumWe have had good success using the Octanoylcarnitine at the recommended dose of 0.2mM in SUIT protocols with PMG and with just GM. Respiration increases with addition of ADP and subsequent substrate additions. We have also used palmitoylcarnitine at a conc of 0.025 -0.05mM with mixed success. Often there is no or little stable increase in ADP stimulated respiration and requires addition of pyr and/or Glut.

FA and cell toxicity

I am working at the University of Colorado with Drs Paul MacLean and Matthew Jackman who acquired two OROBOROS this year. Following our collaborators advice (Dr Donal O'Gorman at Dublin City Uni), we are following your protocol to measure fat oxidation. Contrary to results in the literature and from Dr O'Gorman's lab, as soon as we add L-palmitoylcarnitine, the cells die. 2 uM only of L-PC are sufficient to reach a respiration of zero. Adding any other substrates does not allow an increase in O2 consumption. Our local collaborator Dr Jane Reush is encountering the same issue and therefore only use octanoyl carnitine. Octanoyl carnitine does not alter mitochondria/cell. Following advices from Dr Neufer (North Carolina), we added some carnitine. This did not allow maintaining the integrity of the cell. (1)

Because we are in altitude (1600m), we need to use a piO2 of 200-220 (instead of 160) in basal and of 350 (instead of 300) in maximal. We are wondering if this higher piO2 could promote the generation of ROS species or oxidative stress that would kill the mitochondria/cell when adding L-PC? (2)

  2. When using permeabilized muscle fibers, we have to increase oxygen levels to nonphysiological hyperoxia to avoid oxygen diffusion limitation to the fibers. Although high oxygen levels stimulate ROS production, mitochondria remain functional during times of measurement up to 3 hours. (Gnaiger E, 2015-05-15)
