Mitochondrial cristae are dynamic compartments, capable of taking various shapes under different physiological conditions. Previous studies used two-dimensional models to observe cristae morphology and/or assessed mitochondria bioenergetics [1,2]. However, no study investigated on the relationship between the three-dimensional structure of the cristae and the bioenergetic activity of the cells on a relevant number of mitochondria.
This preliminary study compares the three-dimensional structure of the cristae, by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), with mitochondrial bioenergetic activity. Being preliminary, we tested the efficacy of two permeabilizing agents, digitonin and ฮฑ-chaconine, on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) detection in whole cells.
To this end, we used mouse myoblasts cell cultures (C2C12) after myogenic differentiation by switching their culture medium with a low-serum medium. Mitochondrial OXPHOS has been assessed by a Clark-type electrode on digitonin- or ฮฑ-chaconine- permeabilized myotubes [3]. Myotubes bioenergetics have been investigated with complex I (malate plus pyruvate), II (rotenone plus succinate), III (rotenone plus DHQ, durohydroquinone) and IV (rotenone plus ascorbate plus tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, TMPD) substrates, PalCoA as lipid substrate and DNP (dinitrophenol) as uncoupler.
For morphological examination, myoblasts and myotubes were treated with or without permeabilizing agents and underwent osmium maceration technique [4], which allows three-dimensional observation of cristae by HRSEM.
We titrated both permeabilizing agents to find the optimal concentration for promoting substrate entry in myotubes without compromising the integrity of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The resulted best concentrations were: 0.008 % for digitonin and 30 ยตM for ฮฑ-chaconine. Higher concentrations were detrimental to myotubes.
The basic mitochondrial morphology revealed pleomorphic mitochondria, that were thin and elongated, or short and roundish. The shape of mitochondrial cristae in thin mitochondria was mainly lamellar, while in roundish mitochondria was more various and often coexistence of lamellar and tubular cristae was observed. In general, a manifest change of cristae appearance was not evident after adding the permeabilizing agent, regardless of digitonin or ฮฑ-chaconine administration. Untreated myoblasts displayed similar morphologies.
Bioenergetic data were consistent in digitonin and ฮฑ-chaconine treated cells, and for complex I were 10.91ยฑ1.68 and 9.5ยฑ3.15 nmol/min/10*6 cells, respectively.
In conclusion, the osmic maceration technique allowed us to state that apparently no significant differences in cristae morphology were detected in myotubes after either digitonin or ฮฑ-chaconine cell membrane permeabilization.
Digitonin and ฮฑ-chaconine seem to have a comparable effect in obtaining a reliable bioenergetic activity of myotubes, as a consequence of permeabilization, with a slight additional efficacy for digitonin.
