Measurement of low levels of oxygen and their effect on respiration in cell suspensions maintained in an open system.

Abstract:

:The presence of low levels of oxygen may have profound effects on the cytotoxic activity of radiation, radiosensitizers, and bioreductive alkylating agents. As others have shown, low oxygen tensions may significantly alter rates of cellular and chemical oxygen consumption. When experiments are performed at very low oxygen concentrations, the opposing effects of oxygen leakage into and cellular/chemical oxygen consumption from the system can lead to unpredictable results. Use of a newly designed, highly sensitive Clark-type oxygen sensor has permitted accurate and reproducible measurement of low levels of oxygen. Cellular depletion of oxygen at various cell densities has been monitored for a series of oxygen tensions in solution and the corresponding respiration rates have been calculated. Although oxygen depletion was found to be quite significant at low oxygen tensions, not all oxygen present could be removed by cellular respiration. Respiration rate decreased as oxygen tension decreased and approached zero at low oxygen tensions. This result was independent of cell density. A model is presented to account for the observed effect of oxygen tension on cellular oxygen utilization.
