Evaluation of the mitochondrial function of MITO cells by measuring extracellular flux analyzer. The extracellular flux analyzer provides a continuous quantitative assessment of mitochondrial respiration in CPCs by measuring oxygen consumption. The Seahorse FXp was used to measure the mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of CPCs based on the protocol shown in (A)(a). Basic OCR, ATP-linked OCR, maximum OCR and non-mitochondrial OCR were measured. These parameters were estimated by the sequential addition of oligomycin (an inhibitor of ATP synthesis), carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl-hydrazone (FCCP) (a mitochondrial inner membrane decarboxylator that maximizes the mitochondrial electron transfer system), and rotenone and antimycin A (the complete inhibition of mitochondrial respiration) and the OCRs were measured (B). Significant differences were calculated using one-way ANOVA followed by the SNK test (**p < 0.01) (n = 3).
