Manuscript accepted for publication in PloS One, March 9

  • "Physical fitness and mitochondrial respiratory capacity in horse skeletal muscle" (by Votion DM, Gnaiger E, Lemieux H, Mouithys-Mickalad A, Serteyn D) was accepted for publication in PloS One.
  • From the anonymous referee's comments:
    • Reviewer #1: "This is an original work performed with state of the art methodologies, as high-resolution respirometry. The results indicate that not only mitochondrial capacity is a limiting factor of horse performance but also the modalities of energy substrate utilization. Horse is an animal of choice for energetic studies since it shows a huge consumption of oxygen during muscle contraction, suggesting an positive adaptation of the mitochondrial system as compared to other animals. .. This article provides new findings on the link between mitochondrial capacity and whole animal body size and aerobic capacity. It also clarifies whether mitochondrial capacity is a controling factor for horse performance. An important finding is also that the control by the phosphorylation system is stable and does not vary with the performance of the horse. In contrast, the relative utilization of complex I versus complex II varies witht he performance, and this is a new finding which adds up to our knowledge of energy regulation. This work is of broad interest for sport physiology, metabolic researchers and aging research."
    • Reviewer #2: "The results could be described in a much easier way if utilizing classical definitions of mitochondrial respiratory parameters (from the late Britton Chance's milestones), such as state IV (or II), state III, uncoupled respiration, respiratory control ratio and so on." (Comment: MitoPedia: Respiratory states)

  • "Mitochondrial respiratory control and early defects of oxidative phosphorylation in the failing human heart" (by Lemieux H, Semsroth S, Antretter H, Höfer D, Gnaiger E) was accepted for publication in Intl. J. Biochem. Cell Biol.
  • From the anonymous referee's comments:
    • Reviewer #1: "The manuscript by Lemieux and colleagues offers interesting insight into the bioenergetics of early phases of heart failure."
    • Reviewer #2: "This is a beautifully written work, replete with well-designed experiments and, within the space limitations, a nice review of the pertinent literature. The demonstration of impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in early stages of human failure is very important, as is the demonstration of defects in the phosphorylation system and Complex I-linked respiration."
    • Reviewer #3: "The manuscript belongs literally to the symphony of bioenergetics and have mastered on a maximum thorough and detailed level a priority study of human heart disease bioenergetics in an intermediate state of heart disease, which was done only scarcely in medical sciences and for this orthodox approach this work deserves a high attention. It elegantly describes detailed oxidative phosphorylation parameters in heart disease compared to the control human heart. Using high-resolution respirometry of permeabilized human heart muscle fibres authors progressively describe distinct aspect of measured data in logical steps to present important differences of diminished mitochondrial function during heart failure. Using elegant protocols developed for years, authors distinguish between phosphorylating (OXPHOS) and non-phosphorylating (ETS) conditions with both complex I and II input using physiological substrates of glucose and lipid oxidation. With presented protocols, authors are able to provide conclusions regarding, e.g., complex I impairment, phosphorylation system limitation (3.2) mitochondrial content (3.3), leak respiration involvement, etc., besides OXPHOS and ETS capacities. Authors use their own terminology describing respiratory states. It would be useful to explain briefly their terminology also in terms of the canonical state 2 - 4 terminology. In spite of this, the methodology approach and presented data are well explained."

Gespraechsnotiz 2nd MitoCom Workshop

H. Insam berichtet über seine Erfahrungen mit dem K-Regio Projekt BioTreat. Neben einer prinzipiell positiven Beurteilung hebt er hervor, dass er aus heutiger Sicht das Projekt mit weniger Partnern (statt 12) starten würde, sowie als Rechtsform einen Verein oder eine GmbH statt eine Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts wählen würde. Als besondere Vorteile hebt er die nachhaltige Schaffung von neuen Kontakten / Kooperationen sowie die Gründung eines Spinoff Unternehmens hervor.

E. Gnaiger (OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS) hebt die vorhanden Kompetenz an zahlreichen Einzelstandorten in Innsbruck hervor und erläutert die Motivation seitens von OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS, nicht nur mitochondrielle Komptenzzentren an verschiedenen internationalen Standorten auszurüsten sondern ein solches auch in Innsbruck zu schaffen.

Thomas Hugl (Ergopspect) hebt die Bedeutung eines Zentrums, das die verschieden Methoden kombiniert und weiterentwickelt, für das Marketing seiner Firma hervor.

A. Hansel (Ionimed) erläutert, dass Ionimed interessiert ist, die Analyse von VCs (volatile components) mit anderen analytischen Techniken zu kombinieren, eine Abluftanalytik für Sportler aufzubauen und dabei insbesondere in Zusammenarbeit mit der Sportmedizin die tatsächliche Relevanz der gemessenen Parameter (zB NH3) abzuklären.

M. Burtscher (Inst. für Sportwissenschaften) erklärt die derzeitige Tätigkeit seines Instituts im Bereich der Leistungsdiagnostik. Hier sind gute Verfahren zB für cardiovaskuläre Untersuchungen des Gesamtorganismus etabliert, es fehlen aber Methoden um zB den Zustand eines Muskels besser zu beurteilen (mitochondrielle Funktion), sowie die Erfassung weiterer Zusatzparameter, welche die Atemgasanalytik liefern könnte. In diesem Zusammenhang wird zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten die Akzeptant für analytische Methoden mit unterschiedlichen Graden an Invasivität (Muskelbiopsie, Blutprobe, Atemgasanalyse) diskutiert. Respirometrische Messungen erfordern bis jetzt häufig eine Muskelbiopsie, aber E. Gnaiger verweist auf eine Publikation, die versucht, ähnliche Rückschlüsse aus Thrombozyten (Blutproben) zu gewinnen. M. Burtscher zeigt sich interessiert. Ein Vergleich der Ergebnisse Muskelbiopsie/ Thrombozyten könnte Teil des Projektes sein mit dem Ziel, gleichwertige Information lediglich durch eine Blutprobe zu gewinnen.


Nach der ersten Runde fasst Petra Stöckl (Standortagentur Tirol) zusammen, dass ein Diagnostikzentrum mit Fokus auf Leistungsdiagnostik realistisch erscheint und stellt folgende Fragen:

A: Ist die notwendige Bandbreite an Methoden von den Partnern abgedeckt? Fehlen Methoden (Partner)?

B: Wer kann nun als Zielgrupe „Kunden“ festgeschrieben werden?

M. Burtscher führt bereits existierende Kundengruppen für Leistungsdiagnostik auf: sportmedizinische Praxen (die nicht nur Spitzensportler betreuen!), Zentren für Spitzensportler aber auch Leistungsdiagnostiker, die zB auch im Bereich Fitnessstudios arbeiten.

Als mögliche Ausweitung der Produktpallete / des Kundenkreises erwähnt Rainer Schneider (Inst. Biochemie) diverse Bewegungsstörungen.

O. Galvan und C. Pototschnig (HNO) berichten über den Einsatz von Trainings- und Ernährunsprogrammen bei Tumorpatienten. Alle Methoden, die geeignet erscheinen, den Trainingseffekt zu quantifizieren, bieten sich hier an. Bei solchen Patienten wird manchmal auch ein Gerät zur elektrischen Muskelstimulation der Fa MedEl eingesetzt, was MedEl zu einem potentiellen Partner macht. Der Einsatz von speziellen Nahrungsmitteln zum Konditionsaufbau bei diesen Patienten macht die Herstellerfirmen dieser Nahrungsmittel zu potentiellen Kunden von Wirksamkeitsstudien.

Armin Hansel (Ionimed) möchte den Antrag auf ein Vorzeigeprojekt beschränken, das in 2-3 Jahren auch tatsächlich durchführbar ist. Insbesondere verweist er darauf, dass komplette klinische Studien (für eine Behandlungsmethode, oder eine Nahrungsmittelergänzung) in diesem Rahmen nicht machbar sein. Er plädiert daher für eine starke Fokussierung auf „Sport“. Die Vertreter der HNO stellen jedoch klar, dass keineswegs an komplette klinische Studien gedacht sei, eher an begleitende Analytik bereits angewandter Behandlungsmethoden.

Walther Parson (Gerichtsmedizin) erklärt, dass die Gerichtsmedizin am Aufbau einer mitochondriellen DNA Datenbank arbeitet. Die Qualitätsüberprüfung von mitochondrieller DNA und in Folge die Zuordnung eines Individuums zu einer mitochondriellen Haplogruppe, könnte insbesondere für Sportler (Leistungsdiagnostik) von Interesse sein. W. Parson weist darauf hin, dass es einer großen Stichprobe bedarf, um eine mögliche Korrelation zwischen Haplotypen und Phänotypen nachzuweisen.

E. Gnaiger erklärt, dass das geplante K-Regio Projekt ein Standbein im klinischen Bereich Med.Univ. / TILAK benötigt, auch um die entsprechende Laborkapazität zu haben, eventuell könnte es sich auch um eine mobile Laboreinheit handeln. Es kommen mehrere Partner in Frage, die jedoch heute großteils nicht anwesend sind und noch kontaktiert werden müssen. Von anderen Teilnehmern wird auch darauf hingewiesen, dass eine entsprechende Anbindung auch im Sinne der ärztlichen Betreuung sinnvoll erscheint (die jedoch auch über die Sportmedizin gegeben ist).

In einer Diskussion wird festgehalten, dass der Bedarf für ein „zentrales Labor“ aus der Sicht von Ionimed (A. Hansel) für die Atemgasanalysen nicht, aber aus der Sicht von Oroboros Instruments (M. Fasching) für die respirometrischen Analysen / Probennahme sehr wohl gegeben ist.

P. Stöckl schlägt vor, dass als nächster Schritt eine Kerngruppe von Firmenpartnern weitere Planungsarbeiten übernehmen soll. Unabhängig von den direkten Gesprächen, die nun unmittelbar beginnen sollen, wird ein Treffen am Institut für Sportwissenschaften für den 3. Feb. 2011, 15:30, fixiert.

Gespraechsnotiz 1st MitoCom Workshop

Hintergrund

Das Projekt „MitoCom“ könnte zur Entstehung eines Forschungs- und Diagnostik-Zentrums für Klinische Physiologie und Pathologie der Mitochondrien mit state-of-the-art Ausstattung für bioenergetische Untersuchungen führen. Alle, die an einer Kooperation in diesem Bereich interessiert sind, wurden vorab von Herrn Gnaiger (Oroboros Instruments) als Hauptinitiator mit Unterstützung der TZS zu diesem Impulsgespräch eingeladen. Mit dem heutigen Gespräch sollen Ideen gesammelt werden, wie so ein Kompetenzzentrum ausschauen könnte bzw. welche Kompetenzen aus Sicht der Teilnehmer angeboten werden können.

Ergebnisse

Nach einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde der einzelnen Teilnehmer und deren Tätigkeitsfelder kristallisieren sich folgende Schwerpunkte für das Angebot eines Kompetenzzentrums heraus:

  • High-Tech Plattform für Messungen (Zertifizierungsstelle)
  • Mitochondriale Diagnostik für Anwendung im Sport/Leistungssport
  • Diagnostik von mitochondrialen Erkrankungen
  • Gesundes Altern (Haut, Muskel, Blutgefäße) – im weiteren Sinne auch bei Tieren (artgerechte Haltung) – Prävention von Erkrankungen
  • Grundlagenforschung bzw. Auftragsforschung (u.a. Krebsforschung,…)

Grundsätzlich sind alle Besprechungsteilnehmer an dieser Projektidee interessiert. Angedacht wäre ein K-Regio (Programmvorstellung durch Rudolf Stoffner) der TZS als erster Schritt. Vor allem der regionale Hintergrund des Kompetenzzentrums sollte im Vordergrund stehen, Internationalisierungsmaßnahmen (EU-Projekte) mit internationalen Partnern sollten erst nach erhöhtem Bekanntheitsgrad und Erfahrungssammlung in Angriff genommen werden.

Weiters ist zu überlegen bei Einreichung eines K-Regios ein klar definiertes Produkt bzw. Dienstleistung mit kommerziellem Hintergrund aufzuzeigen. Eine Idee für ein Endprodukt könnte zB: die örtliche Vernetzung und enge Zusammenarbeit von unterschiedlichen Kompetenzen sein.

Weitere Schritte

Der nächste Call für die Einreichung findet voraussichtlich von Feber bis April 2011 statt. Aus diesem Grund werden die Teilnehmer gebeten für das nächste Treffen am 18.01.2011 konkrete Vorschläge für ein Kernprodukt/-dienstleistung zu sammeln. Auch sollte sich in der nächsten Sitzung das Kernteam (4 bis 5 Partner) herauskristallisieren, welches sich in den darauffolgenden Wochen mit der Antragsstellung befassen wird. Für weitere Fragen zum Projektvorhaben steht Erich Gnaiger, als Hauptinitiator unter [email protected] zur Verfügung.
