Changes in mitochondrial function are central to many forms of kidney disease including acute injury, diabetic nephropathy, hypertension and chronic kidney diseases. As such, there is an increasing need for reliable and fast methods for assessing mitochondrial respiratory function in renal cells. Despite being indispensable for many mechanistic studies, cultured cells or isolated mitochondria, however, often do not recapitulate in vivo or close-to-in vivo situations. Cultured and/or immortalized cells often change their bioenergetic profile and phenotype compared to in vivo or ex vivo situations, and isolated mitochondria are simply removed from their cellular milieu. This is especially important for extremely complex organs such as the kidney. Here we report the development and validation of a new approach for rapid assessment of mitochondrial oxygen consumption on freshly isolated glomeruli or proximal tubular (PT) fragments using the Agilent SeaHorse XFe24 and XF96 Extracellular Flux Analyzers. We validated the technique in several healthy and diseased rodent models - the C57BL/6J mouse, the diabetic db/db mouse and their matching db/+ control and the Dahl salt sensitive rat. We compared the data to respiration from isolated mitochondria. The method can be adapted and used for rapid assessment of mitochondrial oxygen consumption from any rodent model of the investigator's choice. The isolation methods presented here ensure viable and functional PT fragments and glomeruli, with preserved cellular environment for studying mitochondrial function within the context of their surroundings and interactions.
