Abstract
Metabolic flux analyses are needed to provide insights into metabolic regulation that occurs in cells. The current protocol describes fast and reproducible methods for determining glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis of hepatocytes. Primary culture of hepatocytes is an ‘in vitro’ model useful to study liver glucose and lipid metabolism (Denechaud et al., 2016). The protocol is divided in 2 parts. Part I: Glycolysis experiment is assessed using the Seahorse extracellular flux (XF) analyser. Glycolysis is determined via the measurement of the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of the media, which come predominately from the cellular excretion of lactic acid after the conversion of glucose in pyruvate. Part II: De novo lipogenesis experiment determines the radioactive C14 incorporation in triglycerides (TG) from acetate C14 precursor. After 2 h acetate supplementation to the media lipids are extracted and separated by TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) prior quantification of newly synthetized TG labelled.
Background
There are different approaches for evaluating glucose and lipid metabolism: metabolite quantification, enzyme activity, and metabolomics... Our protocols focus on metabolic flux analyses of live cells and do not need a metabolomic facility. The Seahorse extracellular flux (XF) analyzer, which is now present in a lot of institution, is a powerful tool for measuring indirectly glycolysis in live cells by determining media pH. Lipogenesis protocol does not need a big investment and is highly reproducible. It could also be determined using tritiated water, which is incorporated by the Fatty Acid Synthase in de novo synthetized lipids.
