Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2007 Sep 15;223(3):277-87. rank order correct, Cmax , accumulation Summary: Oxygen Consumption of Isolated Mitochondria • Values: • Identifies inhibitors and uncouplers of the electron transport chain • High-throughput; highly reproducible; easy to use • May be used to identify structure-activity-relationships • Learnings: Can rank order compounds within a series for their mitochondrial toxicity effects. Rankorder in most cases correlates with toxicity profile in the clinic. Cmax information strengthen readout ( exceptions like statins and biguanides) • Limitations: • Can potentially overestimate toxicity since the isolated organelle is being used • Identifies only immediate (acute) effects; may need to pre-incubate mitochondria with drug • Does not take into account conversion of parent drug reactive/inactive metabolites Aerobically Poised Cell Models oxygen & pH sensors Objectives/Outline: • Drug withdrawn from the market exhibit mitochondrial liabilities • Assays to detect mitochondrial toxicity • Assay for measuring Oxygen consumption of isolated mitochondria. • Cell viability assay in (a) Glucose medium, (b) Galactose medium. • Assay for measuring Oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification of cells. • Assays for measuring changes in mtDNA and mtDNA-encoded protein levels in cells. • Summary Circumventing the Crabtree Effect: The “Glucose- Galactose” Model Crabtree Effect (1929): inhibition of respiration by elevated glucose. Warburg Effect (1929): aerobic glycolysis yields lactate despite competent mitochondria. Contemporary cell culture often uses 25mM glucose media (5X physiological!) Transformed cells are often characterized by low rates of O2 consumption & resistance to mitotoxicants. Marroquin et al. (2007) Toxicol.
