Figure 5. Mitochondrial oxidative and glycolytic activity in malignant mesothelioma cell lines.

Figure 5

Oxygen consumption rate (OCR), an indicator of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) an indicator of glycolytic activity measured over time via Seahorse extracellular flux analyzer. The mitochondrial stress test was used to obtain the bioenergetic parameters. (a) shows an example of one mitochondrial stress assay, arrows indicate the addition of 0.5 μM oligomycin A (oligo), 0.5 μM FCCP, and 1 μM Rotenone. (b) Basal mitochondrial OCR, (c) mitochondrial respiratory reserve capacity, obtained by subtracting basal OCR from maximum OCR, (d) basal ECAR (e) ratio of OCR to ECAR. Results are shown as the mean ± SEM of 5 independent experiments and analyzed via ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0001).
