Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024:S0360-3016(24)00610-2. [PMID: 38703954 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Large, rapid extracellular oxygen transients (ΔpO2) have been measured in vivo during ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy; however, it has been unclear if they match intracellular oxygen levels. Here, the endogenously produced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) delayed fluorescence signal was measured as an intracellular in-vivo oxygen sensor to quantify these transients, with direct comparison to extracellular pO2. Intracellular ΔpO2 is closer to the cellular DNA, the site of major radiobiological damage, and therefore should help elucidate radiochemical mechanisms of the FLASH effect and potentially be translated to human tissue measurement. METHODS AND MATERIALS PpIX was induced in mouse skin through intraperitoneal injection of 250 mg/kg of aminolevulinic acid. The animals were also administered a 50 µL intradermal injection of 10 µM oxyphor G4 (PdG4) for phosphorescence lifetime pO2 measurement. Paired oxygen transients were quantified in leg or flank tissues while delivering 10 MeV electrons in 3 µs pulses at 360 Hz for a total dose of 10 to 28 Gy. RESULTS Transient reductions in pO2 were quantifiable in both PpIX delayed fluorescence and oxyphor phosphorescence, corresponding to intracellular and extracellular pO2 values, respectively. Reponses were quantified for 10, 22, and 28 Gy doses, with ΔpO2 found to be proportional to the dose on average. The ΔpO2 values were dependent on initial pO2 in a logistic function. The average and standard deviations in ΔpO2 per dose were 0.56 ± 0.18 mm Hg/Gy and 0.43 ± 0.06 mm Hg/Gy for PpIX and oxyphor, respectively, for initial pO2 > 20 mm Hg. Although there was large variability in the individual animal measurements of ΔpO2, the average values demonstrated a direct and proportional correlation between intracellular and extracellular pO2 changes, following a linear 1:1 relationship. CONCLUSIONS A fundamentally new approach to measuring intracellular oxygen depletion in living tissue showed that ΔpO2 transients seen during ultra-high dose rate radiation therapy matched those quantified using extracellular oxygen measurement. This approach could be translated to humans to quantify intracellular ΔpO2. The measurement of these transients could potentially allow the estimation of intracellular reactive oxygen species production.

Abstract
This study aims to extend earlier Krogh Cylinder Models of an oxygen profile by considering axial diffusion and analytically solving Fick's Law Partial Differential Equation with novel boundary conditions via the separation of variables. We next prospectively collected a total of 20 animals, which were randomly assigned to receive either fresh or two-week-old stored red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and PQM oxygen data were measured acutely (90 min) or chronically (24 h). Transfusion effects were evaluated in vivo using intravital microscopy of the dorsal skinfold window chamber in Golden Syrian Hamsters. Hamsters were initially hemorrhaged by 50% of total blood volume and resuscitated 1-h post hemorrhage. PQM data were subsequently collected and fit the derived 2D Krogh cylinder model. Systemic hemodynamics (mean arterial pressure, heart rate) were similar in both pre and post-transfusion with either stored or fresh cells. Transfusion with stored cells was found to impair axial and radial oxygen gradients as quantified by our model and consistent with previous studies. Specifically, we observed a statistically significant decrease in the arteriolar tissue radial oxygen gradient after transfusion with stored RBCs at 24 h compared with fresh RBCs (0.33 ± 0.17 mmHg μ m-1 vs, 0.14 ± 0.12 mmHg μ m-1; p = 0.0280). We also observed a deficit in the arteriolar tissue oxygen gradient (0.03 ± 0.01 mmHg μ m-1 fresh vs. 0.018 ± 0.007 mmHg μ m-1 stored; p = 0.0185). We successfully derived and validated an analytical 2D Krogh cylinder model in an animal model of microhemodynamic oxygen diffusion aberration secondary to storage lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The induction of phototoxicity during photodynamic therapy (PDT) is dependent on oxygen availability. For this reason, the development of sensors to measure oxygen and oxygen consumption is extremely important. APPROACH In this project we have used Fluorescence Lifetime imaging (FLIM) and Phosphorescence Lifetime Imaging/ delayed Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (PLIM/dFLIM) to investigate the ability of bromine indirubin derivatives as oxygen sensors. RESULTS The oxygen sensitivity of bromine indirubins was detected through PLIM/dFLIM. Moreover, we have observed, by measuring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) FLIM, that bromine indirubin has a significant impact on cellular metabolism by shifting the SCC-4 Cells metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this study successfully achieves its goals and provides important insights into the use of indirubin as a potential oxygen consumption sensor with the capability to identify and differentiate between normoxic and hypoxic regions within the cells.

Abstract
Organoid models have been used to address important questions in developmental and cancer biology, tissue repair, advanced modelling of disease and therapies, among other bioengineering applications. Such 3D microenvironmental models can investigate the regulation of cell metabolism, and provide key insights into the mechanisms at the basis of cell growth, differentiation, communication, interactions with the environment and cell death. Their accessibility and complexity, based on 3D spatial and temporal heterogeneity, make organoids suitable for the application of novel, dynamic imaging microscopy methods, such as fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and related decay time-assessing readouts. Several biomarkers and assays have been proposed to study cell metabolism by FLIM in various organoid models. Herein, we present an expert-opinion discussion on the principles of FLIM and PLIM, instrumentation and data collection and analysis protocols, and general and emerging biosensor-based approaches, to highlight the pioneering work being performed in this field.

Abstract
Molecular processes underlying right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (RVD) and right heart failure (RHF) need to be understood to develop tailored therapies for the abatement of mortality of a growing patient population. Today, the armament to combat RHF is poor, despite the advancing identification of pathomechanistic processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction implying diminished energy yield, the enhanced release of reactive oxygen species, and inefficient substrate metabolism emerges as a potentially significant cardiomyocyte subcellular protagonist in RHF development. Dependent on the course of the disease, mitochondrial biogenesis, substrate utilization, redox balance, and oxidative phosphorylation are affected. The objective of this review is to comprehensively analyze the current knowledge on mitochondrial dysregulation in preclinical and clinical RVD and RHF and to decipher the relationship between mitochondrial processes and the functional aspects of the right ventricle (RV).

Abstract
In light of the associated risks, the question has been raised whether the decision to give a blood transfusion should solely be based on the hemoglobin level. As mitochondria are the final destination of oxygen transport, mitochondrial parameters are suggested to be of added value. The aims of this pilot study were to investigate the effect of a red blood cell transfusion on mitochondrial oxygenation as measured by the COMET device in chronic anemia patients and to explore the clinical usability of the COMET monitor in blood transfusion treatments, especially the feasibility of performing measurements in an outpatient setting. To correct the effect of volume load on mitochondrial oxygenation, a red blood cell transfusion and a saline infusion were given in random order. In total, 21 patients were included, and this resulted in 31 observations. If patients participated twice, the order of infusion was reversed. In both the measurements wherein a blood transfusion was given first and wherein 500 mL of 0.9% saline was given first, the median mitochondrial oxygen tension decreased after red blood cell transfusion. The results of this study have strengthened the need for further research into the effect of blood transfusion tissue oxygenation and the potential role of mitochondrial parameters herein.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The newly introduced Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET®) monitor enables the measurement of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) using the protoporphyrin IX triplet state lifetime technique (PpIX-TSLT). This study aims to investigate the feasibility and applicability of the COMET® measurements in the operating theatre and study the behavior of the new parameter mitoPO2 during stable operating conditions. METHODS In this observational study mitochondrial oxygenation was measured in 20 patients during neurosurgical procedures using the COMET® device. Tissue oxygenation and local blood flow were measured by the Oxygen to See (O2C). Primary outcomes included mitoPO2, skin temperature, mean arterial blood pressure, local blood flow and tissue oxygenation. RESULTS All patients remained hemodynamically stable during surgery. Mean baseline mitoPO2 was 60 ± 19 mmHg (mean ± SD) and mean mitoPO2 remained between 40-60 mmHg during surgery, but tended to decrease over time in line with increasing skin temperature. CONCLUSION This study presents the feasibility of mitochondrial oxygenation measurements as measured by the COMET® monitor in the operating theatre and shows the parameter mitoPO2 to behave in a stable and predictable way in the absence of notable hemodynamic alterations. The results provide a solid base for further research into the added value of mitochondrial oxygenation measurements in the perioperative trajectory.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Hypoxia imaging for surgical guidance has never been possible, yet it is well known that most tumors have microregional chronic and/or cycling hypoxia present as well as chaotic blood flow. The ability to image oxygen partial pressure (pO2) is therefore a unique control of tissue metabolism and can be used in a range of disease applications to understand the complex biochemistry of oxygen supply and consumption. AIM Delayed fluorescence (DF) from the endogenous molecule protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) has been shown to be a truly unique reporter of the local oxygen partial pressure in tissue. PpIX is endogenously synthesized by mitochondria in most tissues, and the particular property of DF emission is directly related to low microenvironmental oxygen concentration. Here, it is shown that PpIX has a unique emission in hypoxic tumor tissue regions, which is measured as a DF signal in the red to near-infrared spectrum. APPROACH A time-gated imaging system was used for PpIX DF for wide field direct mapping of pO2 changes. Acquiring both prompt and DF in a rapid sequential cycle allowed for imaging oxygenation in a way that was insensitive to the PpIX concentration. By choosing adequate parameters, the video rate acquisition of pO2 images could be achieved, providing real-time tissue metabolic information. RESULTS In this report, we show the first demonstration of imaging hypoxia signals from PpIX in a pancreatic cancer model, exhibiting >5X contrast relative to surrounding normal oxygenated tissues. Additionally, tissue palpation amplifies the signal and provides intuitive temporal contrast based upon neoangiogenic blood flow differences. CONCLUSIONS PpIX DF provides a mechanism for tumor contrast that could easily be translated to human use as an intrinsic contrast mechanism for oncologic surgical guidance.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to disease progression in COVID-19 patients. This observational pilot study aimed to assess mitochondrial function in COVID-19 patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission (T1), seven days thereafter (T2), and in healthy controls and a general anesthesia group. Measurements consisted of in vivo mitochondrial oxygenation and oxygen consumption, in vitro assessment of mitochondrial respiration in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and the ex vivo quantity of circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The median mitoVO2 of COVID-19 patients on T1 and T2 was similar and tended to be lower than the mitoVO2 in the healthy controls, whilst the mitoVO2 in the general anesthesia group was significantly lower than that of all other groups. Basal platelet (PLT) respiration did not differ substantially between the measurements. PBMC basal respiration was increased by approximately 80% in the T1 group when contrasted to T2 and the healthy controls. Cell-free mtDNA was eight times higher in the COVID-T1 samples when compared to the healthy controls samples. In the COVID-T2 samples, mtDNA was twofold lower when compared to the COVID-T1 samples. mtDNA levels were increased in COVID-19 patients but were not associated with decreased mitochondrial O2 consumption in vivo in the skin, and ex vivo in PLT or PBMC. This suggests the presence of increased metabolism and mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
ObjectiveAdequate oxygenation is essential for the preservation of organ function during cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Both hypoxia and hyperoxia result in undesired outcomes, and a narrow window for optimal oxygenation exists. Current perioperative monitoring techniques are not always sufficient to monitor adequate oxygenation. The non-invasive COMET® monitor could be a tool to monitor oxygenation by measuring the cutaneous mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2). This pilot study examines the feasibility of cutaneous mitoPO2 measurements during cardiothoracic procedures. Cutaneous mitoPO2 will be compared to tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.Design and MethodThis single-center observational study examined 41 cardiac surgery patients requiring CPB. Preoperatively, patients received a 5-aminolevulinic acid plaster on the upper arm to enable mitoPO2 measurements. After induction of anesthesia, both cutaneous mitoPO2 and StO2 were measured throughout the procedure. The patients were observed until discharge for the development of acute kidney insufficiency (AKI).ResultsCutaneous mitoPO2 was successfully measured in all patients and was 63.5 [40.0–74.8] mmHg at the surgery start and decreased significantly (p < 0.01) to 36.4 [18.4–56.0] mmHg by the end of the CPB run. StO2 at the surgery start was 80.5 [76.8–84.3]% and did not change significantly. Cross-clamping of the aorta and the switch to non-pulsatile flow resulted in a median cutaneous mitoPO2 decrease of 7 mmHg (p < 0.01). The cessation of the aortic cross-clamping period resulted in an increase of 4 mmHg (p < 0.01). Totally, four patients developed AKI and had a lower preoperative eGFR of 52 vs. 81 ml/min in the non-AKI group. The AKI group spent 32% of the operation time with a cutaneous mitoPO2 value under 20 mmHg as compared to 8% in the non-AKI group.ConclusionThis pilot study illustrated the feasibility of measuring cutaneous mitoPO2 using the COMET® monitor during cardiothoracic procedures. Moreover, in contrast to StO2, mitoPO2 decreased significantly with the increasing CPB run time. Cutaneous mitoPO2 also significantly decreased during the aortic cross-clamping period and increased upon the release of the clamp, but StO2 did not. This emphasized the sensitivity of cutaneous mitoPO2 to detect circulatory and microvascular changes.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 229:112408. [PMID: 35294918 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Revised: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is a molecule produced in the mitochondria following the administration of its approved precursor, aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Strong light absorber at different wavelengths in the visible range, PpIX is extensively used as a photosensitizer (PS) for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). PpIX is also an ideal molecular probe for the quantification of the tissue oxygen partial pressure (pO2), as its delayed fluorescence (DF) is quenched by oxygen, creating a direct relationship between the DF lifetime and the pO2. A limitation of both techniques is the ignorance of the PpIX concentration in tissues when the pO2 is measured or during PDT. In this study, the prompt (PF) and delayed fluorescence of PpIX dissolved in DiMethylFormamide (DMF) were acquired, in absence of oxygen, at different PpIX concentrations. Measurements of the PpIX emission for different excitation energies and temperatures, as well as spectral considerations led to the conclusion that E-type (thermal) DF was the dominant DF mechanism at low PpIX excited states concentrations (density of absorbed energy Hε[PpIX] < 1 μJ. cm-3, H:excitation radiant exposure per pulse, ε: molar extinction coefficient at excitation wavelength) while P-type (Triplet Triplet Annihilation) DF took place at higher excited states concentrations (Hε[PpIX] > 10 μJ. cm-3). The gradual development of a strong, red-shifted structureless DF peak at 670 nm, invisible in the PF and absorption spectra, strongly points towards the first observation of PpIX excimer DF (EDF). It appears that, similarly to other aromatic molecules, PpIX excimers can be formed either by the encounter of two molecules in the first excited triplet state T1, or by the reaction of an excited singlet S1 with a triplet T1. Excimer DF could be beneficially used to determine the local concentration of PpIX, as the initial DF intensity ratio I0670/I0630 is linearly correlated with the local PpIX concentration, and thus rises up to the challenge of PpIX based pO2 measurement and PDT. This work could also pave the way for a fine comprehension of the production, diffusion and catabolization of PpIX in biological tissues.

Abstract
Delayed luminescence (DL) is gradually used in various detection of biological systems as a rapid detection technique, however, its biological mechanism was still not clear. In this study, a new model of DL detection system for liquid biological samples is established to investigate the DL emission of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells cultured in different glucose concentrations. We analyzed the relationship between the DL emission and cell growth, cell vitality, mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), oxygen consumption rate (OCR), as well as mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) in S. cerevisiae cells cultured with 0.01, 0.05, 0.15, 3, 10 and 20 g/L glucose respectively. It was found that the DL emission had strong correlation with mitochondrial morphology, OCR, and MMP. The results suggested that DL is an indicator of mitochondria status under different glucose supply conditions, and may be an effective method to detect mitochondrial metabolism related disorders.

Abstract
Introduction: Ischemia and reperfusion are crucial in determining the outcome after cardiac arrest and can be influenced by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). The effect of ECPR on the availability and level of oxygen in mitochondria remains unknown. The aim of this study was to find out if skin mitochondrial partial oxygen pressure (mitoPO2) measurements in cardiac arrest and ECPR are feasible and to investigate its course. Materials and Methods: We performed a feasibility test to determine if skin mitoPO2 measurements in a pig are possible. Next, we aimed to measure skin mitoPO2 in 10 experimental pigs. Measurements were performed using a cellular oxygen metabolism measurement monitor (COMET), at baseline, during cardiac arrest, and during ECPR using the controlled integrated resuscitation device (CIRD). Results: The feasibility test showed continuous mitoPO2 values. Nine experimental pigs could be measured. Measurements in six experimental pigs succeeded. Our results showed a delay until the initial spike of mitoPO2 after ECPR initiation in all six experimental tests. In two experiments (33%) mitoPO2 remained present after the initial spike. A correlation of mitoPO2 with mean arterial pressure (MAP) and arterial partial oxygen pressure measured by CIRD (CIRD-PaO2) seemed not present. One of the experimental pigs survived. Conclusions: This experimental pilot study shows that continuous measurements of skin mitoPO2 in pigs treated with ECPR are feasible. The delay in initial mitoPO2 and discrepancy of mitoPO2 and MAP in our small sample study could point to the possible value of additional measurements besides MAP to monitor the quality of tissue perfusion during cardiac arrest and ECPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During photodynamic therapy (PDT) oxygen is transformed into reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cellular apoptosis in (pre)malignant cells. Real time oxygen availability measurement is clinically available with the Cellular Oxygen Metabolism (COMET) monitor. METHODS Primary objective is to show that mitochondrial oxygen availability (mitoPO2) measurement is possible during clinical ALA-PDT. The secondary aim was to determine the pain sensation, because it is the most commonly reported side effect of PDT. Before and after the two fraction PDT treatment, with a 2-hour dark period, mitoPO2 was measured and reported pain was documented with a visual analog scale (VAS) 0-100. RESULTS Nine patients were included. Before the first PDT session the median signal quality was [IQR] 55.0% [34.2-68.0], which decreased after session one to 0% [0.0-10.0]. MitoPO2 was 40.0 [17.7-53.8] mmHg and increased afterwards to 61.8 [38.2-64.8] mmHg. This likely the result of the delay time between the illumination stop and the mitoPO2 measurements in a vasodilated, visibly red lesion. Before session two signal quality was 10.4% [0-20.15], 40% lower than at the start. In 5 patients the signal quality after session 2 was too low because of photobleaching and insufficient regeneration of PpIX, median 0% [0-10]. Subjects reported low median VAS scores, all below 3, directly after the mitoPO2 measurements. CONCLUSION With COMET we were able to reliably measure mitochondrial oxygen concentrations during photodynamic therapy. Signal quality drastically decreases after a PDT session because of PpIX deterioration during the illumination phase.

Abstract
Photosensitizers of singlet oxygen exhibit three main types of reverse intersystem-crossing (RISC): thermally activated, triplet-triplet annihilation, and singlet oxygen feedback. RISC can be followed by delayed fluorescence (DF) emission, which can provide important information about the excited state dynamics in the studied system. An excellent model example is a widely used clinical photosensitizer Protoporphyrin IX, which manifests all three mentioned types of RISC and DF. Here, we estimated rate constants of individual RISC and DF processes in Protoporphyrin IX in dimethylformamide, and we showed how these affect triplet decays and DF signals under diverse experimental conditions, such as a varying oxygen concentration or excitation intensity. This provided a basis for a general discussion on guidelines for a more precise analysis of long-lived signals. Furthermore, it has been found that PpIX photoproducts and potential transient excited complexes introduce a new overlapping delayed luminescence spectral band with a distinct lifetime. These findings are important for design of more accurate biological oxygen sensors and assays based on DF and triplet lifetime.

Abstract
A major focus of current biological studies is to fill the knowledge gaps between cell, tissue and organism scales. To this end, a wide array of contemporary optical analytical tools enable multiparameter quantitative imaging of live and fixed cells, three-dimensional (3D) systems, tissues, organs and organisms in the context of their complex spatiotemporal biological and molecular features. In particular, the modalities of luminescence lifetime imaging, comprising fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) and phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (PLIM), in synergy with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays, provide a wealth of information. On the application side, the luminescence lifetime of endogenous molecules inside cells and tissues, overexpressed fluorescent protein fusion biosensor constructs or probes delivered externally provide molecular insights at multiple scales into protein-protein interaction networks, cellular metabolism, dynamics of molecular oxygen and hypoxia, physiologically important ions, and other physical and physiological parameters. Luminescence lifetime imaging offers a unique window into the physiological and structural environment of cells and tissues, enabling a new level of functional and molecular analysis in addition to providing 3D spatially resolved and longitudinal measurements that can range from microscopic to macroscopic scale. We provide an overview of luminescence lifetime imaging and summarize key biological applications from cells and tissues to organisms.

Abstract
One of the challenges in the management of acute blood loss is to differentiate whether blood transfusion is required or not. The sole use of haemoglobin values might lead to unnecessary transfusion in individual cases. The suggestion is that mitochondrial oxygen tension can be used as an additional monitoring technique to determine when blood transfusion is required. In this case report, we report mitochondrial oxygen measurements in a patient with perioperative blood loss requiring blood transfusion.

Abstract
Background: Mitochondria are the key players in aerobic energy generation via oxidative phosphorylation. Consequently, mitochondrial function has implications on physical performance in health and disease ranging from high performance sports to critical illness. The protoporphyrin IX-triplet state lifetime technique (PpIX-TSLT) allows in vivo measurements of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2). Hitherto, few data exist on the relation of mitochondrial oxygen metabolism and ergospirometry-derived variables during physical performance. This study investigates the association of mitochondrial oxygen metabolism with gas exchange and blood gas analysis variables assessed during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in aerobic and anaerobic metabolic phases. Methods: Seventeen volunteers underwent an exhaustive CPET (graded multistage protocol, 50 W/5 min increase), of which 14 were included in the analysis. At baseline and for every load level PpIX-TSLT-derived mitoPO2 measurements were performed every 10 s with 1 intermediate dynamic measurement to obtain mitochondrial oxygen consumption and delivery (mito V . O2, mito D . O2). In addition, variables of gas exchange and capillary blood gas analyses were obtained to determine ventilatory and lactate thresholds (VT, LT). Metabolic phases were defined in relation to VT1 and VT2 (aerobic: <VT1, aerobic-anaerobic transition: ≥VT1 and <VT2 and anaerobic: ≥VT2). We used linear mixed models to compare variables of PpIX-TSLT between metabolic phases and to analyze their associations with variables of gas exchange and capillary blood gas analyses. Results: MitoPO2 increased from the aerobic to the aerobic-anaerobic phase followed by a subsequent decline. A mitoPO2 peak, termed mitochondrial threshold (MT), was observed in most subjects close to LT2. Mito D . O2 increased during CPET, while no changes in mito V . O2 were observed. MitoPO2 was negatively associated with partial pressure of end-tidal oxygen and capillary partial pressure of oxygen and positively associated with partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide and capillary partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Mito D . O2 was associated with cardiovascular variables. We found no consistent association for mito V . O2. Conclusion: Our results indicate an association between pulmonary respiration and cutaneous mitoPO2 during physical exercise. The observed mitochondrial threshold, coinciding with the metabolic transition from an aerobic to an anaerobic state, might be of importance in critical care as well as in sports medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To fully exploit the concept of hemodynamic coherence in resuscitating critically ill one should preferably take into account information about the state of parenchymal cells. Monitoring of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) has emerged as a clinical means to assess information of oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization at the mitochondrial level. This review will outline the basics of the technique, summarize its development and describe the rationale of measuring oxygen at the mitochondrial level. RECENT FINDINGS Mitochondrial oxygen tension can be measured by means of the protoporphyrin IX-Triplet State Lifetime Technique (PpIX-TSLT). After validation and use in preclinical animal models, the technique has recently become commercially available in the form of a clinical measuring system. This system has now been used in a number of healthy volunteer studies and is currently being evaluated in studies in perioperative and intensive care patients in several European university hospitals. SUMMARY PpIX-TSLT is a noninvasive and well tolerated method to assess aspects of mitochondrial function at the bedside. It allows doctors to look beyond the macrocirculation and microcirculation and to take the oxygen balance at the cellular level into account in treatment strategies.

Abstract
O2 PLIM microscopy was employed in various studies, however current platforms have limitations in sensitivity, image acquisition speed, accuracy and general usability. We describe a new PLIM imager based on the Timepix3 camera (Tpx3cam) and its application for imaging of O2 concentration in various tissue samples stained with a nanoparticle based probe, NanO2-IR. Upon passive staining of mouse brain, lung or intestinal tissue surface with minute quantities of NanO2-IR or by microinjecting the probe into the lumen of small or large intestine fragments, robust phosphorescence intensity and lifetime signals were produced, which allow mapping of O2 in the tissue within 20 s. Inhibition of tissue respiration or limitation of O2 diffusion to tissue produced the anticipated increases or decreases in O2 levels, respectively. The difference in O2 concentration between the colonic lumen and air-exposed serosal surface was around 140 µM. Furthermore, subcutaneous injection of 5 µg of the probe in intact organs (a paw or tail of sacrificed mice) enabled efficient O2 imaging at tissue depths of up to 0.5 mm. Overall, the PLIM imager holds promise for metabolic imaging studies with various ex vivo models of animal tissue, and also for use in live animals.

Mitochondrial oxygen monitoring with COMET: verification of calibration in man and comparison with vascular occlusion tests in healthy volunteers. J Clin Monit Comput 2020; 35:1357-1366. [PMID: 33085071 PMCID: PMC8542534 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-020-00602-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondria are the primary consumers of oxygen and therefore an important location for oxygen availability and consumption measurement. A technique has been developed for mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) measurement, incorporated in the COMET. In contrast to most textbooks, relatively high average mitoPO2 values have been reported. The first aim of this study was to verify the validity of the COMET calibration for mitoPO2 measurements in human skin. The second aim was to compare the dynamics of mitoPO2 to several other techniques assessing tissue oxygenation. Firstly, we performed a two-point calibration. Mitochondrial oxygen depletion was achieved with vascular occlusion. A high mitoPO2 was reached by local application of cyanide. MitoPO2 was compared to the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2). Secondly, for deoxygenation kinetics we compared COMET variables with the LEA O2C, SenTec OxiVenT™ and Medtronic INVOS™ parameters during a vascular occlusion test. 20 healthy volunteers were recruited and resulted in 18 datasets (2 times 9 subjects). The lowest measured mitoPO2 value per subject had a median [IQR] of 3.0 [1.0–4.0] mmHg, n = 9. After cyanide application the mitoPO2 was 94.1 mmHg [87.2–110.9] and did not differ significantly (n = 9, p = 0.5) from the PaO2 of 101.0 [98.0–106.0] mmHg. In contrast to O2C, OxiVenT™ and INVOS parameters, mitoPO2 declined within seconds with pressure on the probe. The kinetics from this decline are used to mitochondrial oxygen consumption (mitoVO2). This study validates the calibration of the COMET device in humans. For mitoVO2 measurements not only blood flow cessation but application of local pressure is of great importance to clear the measurement site of oxygen-carrying erythrocytes.

Abstract
Current monitoring techniques in neonates lack sensitivity for hypoxia at cellular level. The recent introduction of the non-invasive Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET) monitor enables measuring in vivo mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2), based on oxygen-dependent quenching of delayed fluorescence of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-enhanced protoporphyrin IX. The aim is to determine the feasibility and safety of non-invasive mitoPO2 monitoring in surgical newborns. MitoPO2 measurements were conducted in a tertiary pediatric center during surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia or esophageal atresia. Intraoperative mitoPO2 monitoring was performed with a COMET monitor in 11 congenital diaphragmatic hernia and four esophageal atresia neonates with the median age at surgery being 2 days (IQR 1.25-5.75). Measurements were done at the skin and oxygen-dependent delayed fluorescence was measurable after at least 4 h application of an ALA plaster. Pathophysiological disturbances led to perturbations in mitoPO2 and were not observed with standard monitoring modalities. The technique did not cause damage to the skin, and seemed safe in this respect in all patients, and in 12 cases intraoperative monitoring was successfully completed. Some external and potentially preventable factors-the measurement site being exposed to the disinfectant chlorohexidine, purple skin marker, or infrared light-seemed responsible for the inability to detect an adequate delayed fluorescence signal. In conclusion, this is the first study showing it is possible to measure mitoPO2 in neonates and that the cutaneous administration of ALA to neonates in the described situation can be safely applied. Preliminary data suggests that mitoPO2 in neonates responds to perturbations in physiological status.

Abstract
It is well understood that the level of molecular oxygen (O2 ) in tissue is a very important factor impacting both physiology and pathological processes as well as responsiveness to some treatments. Data on O2 in tissue could be effectively utilized to enhance precision medicine. However, the nature of the data that can be obtained using existing clinically applicable techniques is often misunderstood, and this can confound the effective use of the information. Attempts to make clinical measurements of O2 in tissues will inevitably provide data that are aggregated over time and space and therefore will not fully represent the inherent heterogeneity of O2 in tissues. Additionally, the nature of existing techniques to measure O2 may result in uneven sampling of the volume of interest and therefore may not provide accurate information on the "average" O2 in the measured volume. By recognizing the potential limitations of the O2 measurements, one can focus on the important and useful information that can be obtained from these techniques. The most valuable clinical characterizations of oxygen are likely to be derived from a series of measurements that provide data about factors that can change levels of O2 , which then can be exploited both diagnostically and therapeutically. The clinical utility of such data ultimately needs to be verified by careful studies of outcomes related to the measured changes in levels of O2 .

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sepsis is one of the most prevalent life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit. Patients suffer from impaired organ function, reduced physical functional capacity and decreased quality of life even after surviving sepsis. The identification of prognostic factors for the medium-term and long-term outcomes of this condition is necessary to develop personalised theragnostic approaches. Sepsis can cause cardiac impairment. The impact of this septic cardiomyopathy on patient's long-term outcome remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors, particularly the occurrence of septic cardiomyopathy, regarding their suitability as prognostic factors for the short-term and long-term outcomes of septic patients. Additionally, the study seeks to validate preclinical pathophysiological findings of septic cardiomyopathy in the clinical setting. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In this prospective monocentric cohort study, patients will be clinically assessed during the acute and postacute phase of sepsis and two follow-ups after 6 and 12 months. To determine the effect of septic cardiomyopathy and concomitant cellular and molecular changes on patient mortality and morbidity, a comprehensive cardiovascular and molecular deep phenotyping of patients will be performed. This includes an echocardiographic and electrocardiographic assessment, and the evaluation of heart rate variability, body composition, mitochondrial oxygen metabolism, macrocirculation and microcirculation, and endothelial barrier function. These analyses are complemented by routine immunological, haematological and biochemical laboratory tests and analyses of the serum metabolome and lipidome, microbiome and epigenetic modifications of immune cells. The reversibility of patients' organ dysfunction, their quality of life and physical functional capacity will be investigated in the follow-ups. Patients with cardiomyopathy without infection and healthy subjects will serve as control groups. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (5276-09/17). The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at appropriate conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS DRKS00013347; NCT03620409.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays significant physiological and pathological functions, especially in causing photodynamic stress in vivo. However, specific 1O2 monitoring is an immense challenge, owing to its short half-lives and high oxidizing ability. To address this, we engineered three photostable two-photon fluorescence probe NBs for highly efficient 1O2 monitoring based on bioinspired novel tryptophan derivatives, among which NB-MOT was the best one comprehensively. Upon being cracked with 1O2, NB-MOT rapidly (within 5 s) demonstrated a remarkable enhancement in fluorescence intensity (∼180 fold) and lifetime (∼18 fold). Taking these advantages into account, NB-MOT was applied to evaluate exogenous and endogenous 1O2 in diverse biosystems. We successfully tracked the intracellular 1O2 level during photodynamic therapy, and for the first time achieved 1O2 mapping in live cells with dual-mode imaging as well as revealed ciprofloxacin-induced photodynamic stress in mice. NB-MOT was thus believed to be of instructive significance for studying the 1O2-mediated stress in wider biological milieus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The recently developed protoporphyrin IX-triple state lifetime technique measures mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) in vivo at the bedside. MitoPO2might be an early indicator of oxygen disbalance in cells of critically ill patients and therefore may support clinical decisions regarding red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. We aim to investigate the effect of RBC transfusion and the associated changes in haemoglobin concentration on mitoPO2 and other physiological measures of tissue oxygenation and oxygen balance in critically ill patients with anaemia. We present the protocol and pilot results for this study. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We perform a prospective multicentre observational study in three mixed intensive care units in the Netherlands with critically ill patients with anaemia in whom an RBC transfusion is planned. The skin of the anterior chest wall of the patients is primed with a 5-aminolevulinic acid patch for 4 hours for induction of mitochondrial protoporphyrin-IX to enable measurements of mitoPO2, which is done with the COMET monitoring device. At multiple predefined moments, before and after RBC transfusion, we assess mitoPO2 and other physiological parameters of oxygen balance and tissue oxygenation. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the data. A linear mixed-effect model will be used to study the association between RBC transfusion and mitoPO2 and other traditional parameters of oxygenation, oxygen delivery and oxygen balance. Missing data will be imputed using multiple imputation methods. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The institutional ethics committee of each participating centre approved the study (reference P16.303), which will be conducted according to the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments. The results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03092297.

Abstract
The imbalance of oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption resulting in insufficient tissue oxygenation is pathognomonic for all forms of shock. Mitochondrial function plays an important role in the cellular oxygen metabolism and has been shown to impact a variety of diseases in the intensive care setting, specifically sepsis. Clinical assessment of tissue oxygenation and mitochondrial function remains elusive. The in vivo protoporphyrin IX-triplet state lifetime technique (PpIX-TSLT) allows the direct, non-invasive measurement of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) in the human skin. Our recently established measurement protocol for the Cellular Oxygen Metabolism (COMET) Monitor, a novel device employing the PpIX-TSLT, additionally allows the evaluation of oxygen consumption (mitoVO2) and delivery (mitoDO2). In the intensive care setting, these variables might provide new insight into mitochondrial oxygen metabolism and especially mitoDO2 might be a surrogate parameter of microcirculatory function. However, the feasibility of the PpIX-TSLT in critically ill patients has not been analyzed systematically. In this interim study analysis, we evaluated PpIX-TSLT measurements of 40 patients during the acute phase of sepsis. We assessed (a) potential adverse side effects of the method, (b) the rate of analyzable measurements, (c) the stability of mitoPO2, mitoVO2, and mitoDO2, and (d) potential covariates. Due to excessive edema in patients with sepsis, we specifically analyzed the association of patients' hydration status, assessed by bioimpedance analysis (BIA), with the aforementioned variables. We observed no side effects and acquired analyzable measurements sessions in 92.5% of patients (n = 37/40). Different measures of stability indicated moderate to good repeatability of the PpIX-TSLT variables within one session of multiple measurements. The determined limits of agreement and minimum detectable differences may be helpful in identifying outlier measurements. In conjunction with signal quality they mark a first step in developing a previously unavailable standardized measurement quality protocol. Notably, higher levels of hydration were associated with lower mitochondrial oxygen tension. We conclude that COMET measurements are viable in patients with sepsis. To validate the clinical and diagnostic relevance of the PpIX-TSLT using the COMET in the intensive care setting, future studies in critically ill patients and healthy controls are needed.

Abstract
Herein, we assessed the effect of Ferulic Acid (FA), a natural antioxidant with anti-cancer effect, on the human glioblastoma cells through molecular and Delayed Luminescence (DL) studies. DL, a phenomenon of ultra-week emission of optical photons, was used to monitor mitochondrial assessment. The effect of FA loaded in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) was also assessed. To validate NLCs as a drug delivery system for glioblastoma treatment, particular attention was focused on their effect. We found that free FA induced a significant decrease in c-Myc and Bcl-2 expression levels accompanied by the apoptotic pathway activation. Blank NLCs, even if they did not induce cytotoxicity and caspase-3 cleavage, decreased Bcl-2, ERK1/2, c-Myc expression levels activating PARP-1 cleavage. The changes in DL intensity and kinetics highlighted a possible effect of nanoparticle matrix on mitochondria, through the involvement of the NADH pool and ROS production that, in turn, activates ERK1/2 pathways. All the effects on protein expression levels and on the activation of apoptotic pathway appeared more evident when the cells were exposed to FA loaded in NLCs. We demonstrated that the observed effects are due to a synergic pro-apoptotic influence exerted by FA, whose bio-availability increases in the glioblastoma cells, and NLCs formulation.

Abstract
Protoporphyrin IX-triplet state lifetime technique (PpIX-TSLT) is a method used to measure oxygen (PO2 ) in human cells. The aim of this study was to assess the technical feasibility and safety of measuring oxygen-dependent delayed fluorescence of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced PpIX during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Endoscopic delayed fluorescence measurements were performed 4 hours after oral administration of ALA in healthy volunteers. The ALA dose administered was 0, 1, 5 or 20 mg/kg. Measurements were performed at three mucosal spots in the gastric antrum, duodenal bulb and descending duodenum with the catheter above the mucosa and while applying pressure to induce local ischemia and monitor mitochondrial respiration. During two endoscopies, measurements were performed both before and after intravenous administration of butylscopolamine. Delayed fluorescence measurements were successfully performed during all 10 upper GI endoscopies. ALA dose of 5 mg/kg showed adequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values >20 without side effects. All pressure measurements showed significant prolongation of delayed fluorescence lifetime compared to measurements performed without pressure (P < .001). Measurements before and after administration of butylscopolamine did not differ significantly in the duodenal bulb and descending duodenum. Measurements of oxygen-dependent delayed fluorescence of ALA-induced PpIX in the GI tract during upper GI endoscopy are technically feasible and safe.

Abstract
Here we introduce a new class of ratiometric O2 sensors for hypoxic environments. Two-component structures composed of phosphorescent cyclometalated Ir(iii) complexes and the well-known organic fluorophore BODIPY have been prepared by the 1 : 1 reaction of bis-cyclometalated iridium synthons with pyridyl-substituted BODIPY compounds. Two different cyclometalating ligands are used, which determine the relative energies of the iridium-centered and BODIPY-centered excited states, and the nature of the linker between iridium and BODIPY also has a small influence on the photoluminescence. Some of the conjugates exhibit dual emission, with significant phosphorescence from the iridium site and fluorescence from the BODIPY, and thus function as ratiometric oxygen sensors. Oxygen quenching experiments demonstrate that as O2 is added the phosphorescence is quenched while the fluorescence is unaffected, with dynamic ranges that are well suited for hypoxic sensing (pO2 < 160 mmHg).

Abstract
Mitochondria have originated in eukaryotic cells by endosymbiosis of a specialized prokaryote approximately 2 billion years ago. They are essential for normal cell function by providing energy through their role in oxidizing carbon substrates. Glutathione (GSH) is a major thiol-disulfide redox buffer of the cell including the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space. We have generated cardiomyocyte-specific Grx1-roGFP2 GSH redox potential (EGSH) biosensor mice in the past, in which the sensor is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix. Using this mouse model a distinct EGSH of the mitochondrial matrix (−278.9 ± 0.4 mV) in isolated cardiomyocytes is observed. When analyzing the EGSH in isolated mitochondria from the transgenic hearts, however, the EGSH in the mitochondrial matrix is significantly oxidized (−247.7 ± 8.7 mV). This is prevented by adding N-Ethylmaleimide during the mitochondria isolation procedure, which precludes disulfide bond formation. A similar reducing effect is observed by isolating mitochondria in hypoxic (0.1–3% O2) conditions that mimics mitochondrial pO2 levels in cellulo. The reduced EGSH is accompanied by lower ROS production, reduced complex III activity but increased ATP levels produced at baseline and after stimulation with succinate/ADP. Altogether, we demonstrate that oxygenation is an essential factor that needs to be considered when analyzing mitochondrial function ex vivo. We identified that mitochondria isolated in room air at 20.9% O2 exhibit a strong oxidation of the EGSH in the matrix. Isolation of mitochondria in hypoxic conditions mimicking their in cellulo conditions prevents oxidation of the EGSH. Normoxic and hypoxic isolated mitochondria differ in ROS production, complex III activity and ATP levels. Oxygenation needs to be considered when analyzing mitochondrial function ex vivo.

Abstract
The evaluation of optical properties of biological samples is gaining increasing interests both in scientific and commercial fields concerning agriculture and food processing. The optical techniques can indeed be able to provide information on quality assessment in a fast and non-destructive way. This feature makes them suitable for automatic management of control processes. In this paper, we propose to use the Delayed Luminescence, a ultra-weak and photo-induced emission of optical photons, as a tool for a rapid evaluation of germination performance, the principal index reflecting seed quality. Two lots of 'Mirella' F1 watermelon dried seeds, of 96 seeds each, were considered. The seeds were analyzed in the conditions as provided by seed/breeding company. Characteristics of Delayed Luminescence emission from each single seed were correlated to the different germination levels as assessed by International Seed Testing Procedures. Parametric differences in the two lots were determined, based on the relaxation kinetics of some spectral components. A control test, with the aim to construct a calibration model, was conceived and successfully tested. Time decays of Delayed Luminescence spectral components at central wavelengths 450 nm, 550 nm and 650 nm, corresponding to spectrum region where natural biomarkers as NADH, flavins and lipopigments, protoporphyrin and ROS respectively emit, have been evaluated. The results show that such time decays are strictly connected to the biological state of the system under analysis and allow also proposing Delayed Luminescence measurement as a quick, cheap and non-destructive test for seed viability analysis.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen (O2) is a key player in cell mitochondrial function, redox balance and oxidative stress, normal tissue function and many common disease states. Various chemical, physical and biological methods have been proposed for measurement, real-time monitoring and imaging of O2 concentration, state of decreased O2 (hypoxia) and related parameters in cells and tissue. Here, we review the established and emerging optical microscopy techniques allowing to visualize O2 levels in cells and tissue samples, mostly under in vitro and ex vivo, but also under in vivo settings. Particular examples include fluorescent hypoxia stains, fluorescent protein reporter systems, phosphorescent probes and nanosensors of different types. These techniques allow high-resolution mapping of O2 gradients in live or post-mortem tissue, in 2D or 3D, qualitatively or quantitatively. They enable control and monitoring of oxygenation conditions and their correlation with other biomarkers of cell and tissue function. Comparison of these techniques and corresponding imaging setups, their analytical capabilities and typical applications are given.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy contributes to pain relief, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. The pulsed wave (PW) mode has been reported to be more effective than the continuous wave (CW) mode when applying PBM to many biological systems. However, the reason for the higher effectiveness of PW-PBM is poorly understood. Herein, we suggest using delayed luminescence (DL) as a reporter of mitochondrial activity after PBM treatment. DL originates mainly from mitochondrial electron transport chain systems, which produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The decay time of DL depends on the pulse frequencies of applied light, which correlate with the biological responses of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Using a low-power light whose wavelength is 810 nm and energy density is 38 mJ/cm2, we find that a 300-Hz pulse frequency prolonged the DL pattern and enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity. In addition, we analyze mitochondrial morphological changes and their volume density and find evidence supporting mitochondrial physiological changes from PBM treatment. Our data suggest a new methodology for determining the effectiveness of PBM and the specific pulse frequency dependency of PBM in the differentiation of hDPSCs.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of sulfonated polystyrene nanoparticles (average diameter 30 ± 14 nm) with encapsulated 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin or ionically entangled tetracationic 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin, their photooxidation properties, and the application of singlet oxygen-sensitized delayed fluorescence (SODF) in oxygen sensing. Both types of nanoparticles effectively photogenerated singlet oxygen, O2(1Δg). The O2(1Δg) phosphorescence, transient absorption of the porphyrin triplet states, and SODF signals were monitored using time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The SODF intensity depended on the concentration of the porphyrin photosensitizer and dissolved oxygen and on the temperature. After an initial period (a few microseconds), the kinetics of the SODF process can be approximated as a monoexponential function, and the apparent SODF lifetimes can be correlated with the oxygen concentration. The oxygen sensing based on SODF allowed measurement of the dissolved oxygen in aqueous media in the broad range of oxygen concentrations (0.2-38 mg L-1). The ability of both types of nanoparticles to photooxidize external substrates was predicted by the SODF measurements and proven by chemical tests. The relative photooxidation efficacy was highest at a low porphyrin concentration, as indicated by the highest fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF), and it corresponds with negligible inner filter and self-quenching effects. The photooxidation abilities were sensitive to the influence of temperature on the diffusion and solubility of oxygen in both polystyrene and water media and to the rate constant of the O2(1Δg) reaction with a substrate. Due to their efficient photogeneration of cytotoxic O2(1Δg) at physiological temperatures and their oxygen sensing via SODF, both types of nanoparticles are promising candidates for biomedical applications.

Reducing mitochondrial bound hexokinase II mediates transition from non-injurious into injurious ischemia/reperfusion of the intact heart. J Physiol Biochem 2017; 73:323-333.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) of the heart becomes injurious when duration of the ischemic insult exceeds a certain threshold (approximately ≥20 min). Mitochondrial bound hexokinase II (mtHKII) protects against I/R injury, with the amount of mtHKII correlating with injury. Here, we examine whether mtHKII can induce the transition from non-injurious to injurious I/R, by detaching HKII from mitochondria during a non-injurious I/R interval. Additionally, we examine possible underlying mechanisms (increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased oxygen consumption (MVO2) and decreased cardiac energetics) associated with this transition. Langendorff perfused rat hearts were treated for 20 min with saline, TAT-only or 200 nM TAT-HKII, a peptide that translocates HKII from mitochondria. Then, hearts were exposed to non-injurious 15-min ischemia, followed by 30-min reperfusion. I/R injury was determined by necrosis (LDH release) and cardiac mechanical recovery. ROS were measured by DHE fluorescence. Changes in cardiac respiratory activity (cardiac MVO2 and efficiency and mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) using protoporphyrin IX) and cardiac energetics (ATP, PCr, ∆GATP) were determined following peptide treatment. When exposed to 15-min ischemia, control hearts had no necrosis and 85% recovery of function. Conversely, TAT-HKII treatment resulted in significant LDH release and reduced cardiac recovery (25%), indicating injurious I/R. This was associated with increased ROS during ischemia and reperfusion. TAT-HKII treatment reduced MVO2 and improved energetics (increased PCr) before ischemia, without affecting MVO2/RPP ratio or mitoPO2. In conclusion, a reduction in mtHKII turns non-injurious I/R into injurious I/R. Loss of mtHKII was associated with increased ROS during ischemia and reperfusion, but not with increased MVO2 or decreased cardiac energetics before damage occurs.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. Accumulating evidence suggests that CKD aggravates renal hypoxia, and in turn, renal hypoxia accelerates CKD progression. To eliminate this vicious cycle, hypoxia-related therapies, such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) activation (prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibition) or NF-E2-related factor 2 activation, are currently under investigation. Clinical studies have revealed heterogeneity in renal oxygenation; therefore, the detection of patients with more hypoxic kidneys can be used to identify likely responders to hypoxia-oriented therapies. In this review, we provide a detailed description of current hypoxia detection methods. HIF degradation correlates with the intracellular oxygen concentration; thus, methods that can detect intracellular oxygen tension changes are desirable. The use of a microelectrode is a classical technique that is superior in quantitative performance; however, its high invasiveness and the fact that it reflects the extracellular oxygen tension are disadvantages. Pimonidazole protein adduct immunohistochemistry and HIF activation detection reflect intracellular oxygen tension, but these techniques yield qualitative data. Blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging has the advantage of low invasiveness, high quantitative performance, and application in clinical use, but its biggest disadvantage is that it measures only deoxyhemoglobin concentrations. Phosphorescence lifetime measurement is a relatively novel in vivo oxygen sensing technique that has the advantage of being quantitative; however, it has several disadvantages, such as toxicity of the phosphorescent dye and the inability to assess deeper tissues. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of these hypoxia detection methods will help researchers precisely assess renal hypoxia and develop new therapeutics against renal hypoxia-associated CKD.

Abstract
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) results from insufficient oxygen delivery or utilization to meet metabolic demand. Two main mechanisms may lead to mesenteric ischemia: occlusion in the arteries or veins of the gastrointestinal tract, or reduced blood flow from shock states or increased intra-abdominal pressure, so-called non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Severe stenoses in the three main mesenteric vessels as demonstrated with CT-angiography or MR-angiography are sufficient to proof mesenteric ischemia, for example in patients who present with weight loss, postprandial pain and diarrhea. Still in many clinical situations mesenteric ischemia is only one of many possible explanations. Especially in patients with a single vessel stenosis in the celiac artery or superior mesenteric artery with postprandial pain, mesenteric ischemia remains a diagnosis of probability or assumption without functional proof of actual ischemia. This review is aimed to provide an overview of all past, present and future ways to functionally proof CMI.
