Abstract

An organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is a microfluidic system that allows the in-depth study of animal and human physiology, in an organ-specific ex vivo context. We developed an incubation system for precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) in which we actively modulate mitochondrial respiration of PCLS by alternating perfusion by regular medium with succinate-supplemented medium. The goal is to monitor dynamic responses in respiration in the same tissue sample in real time. Our data shows that we successfully monitored, and intervened with, mitochondrial respiration of PCLS. Moreover, we demonstrate that real-time monitoring of oxygen-dependent metabolism gives a more comprehensive description of the dynamic nature of this process than end-point analysis.
