WG1 Project application

Description

The quality management system, scope of SOPs to be elaborated and the outline of the data repositories will be defined in a user requirement document.

Respirometric reference protocols

A ‘library of protocols’ applied in mitochondrial respiratory physiology will be collected in a standard format, delineating the diversity of experimental approaches to assess bioenergetic function. A set of reference protocols will rigorously document (Maelstrom Research program) the state-of-the-art standards in designing, conducting, reporting, interpreting, and validating such bioenergetic tests (see also figure on the right).
MITOEAGLE Proficiency ring test

Interlaboratory proficiency test

Inter-laboratory ring tests are a basic requirement for quality management. Such proficiency tests require a reference sample which must be homogenous, stable, representative of the diagnostic target, amenable for distribution, and economical for large-scale production. For respiratory OXPHOS analysis a reference sample of structurally and functionally intact mitochondria is not yet available to perform corresponding ring tests (in contrast to enzymatic OXPHOS ring tests). Recently, the widely applied human cell line HEK 293T was found to be potentially suitable for cryopreservation. Upon thawing the cells can be used immediately for respirometry of both intact and permeabilized cells. Thus interlaboratory proficiency testing may now be feasible as a world-wide innovation in the field of mitochondrial respiratory physiology. Participating labs may implement the test for intra- and interlaboratory validation and longitudinal performance monitoring, using a reference OXPHOS protocol (Fig. 3). The organization of the proficiency test should follow the requirements of the ISO 17043 and 13528 standards. A corresponding MITOEAGLE proficiency training shall be developed and implemented. Feedback from the participants will lead to a final adjustment of the SOPs in the proficiency test, which will be made generally available.

Instrumental platforms

Comparison of results between and within instrumental platforms: The reference protocols and proficiency test will not define the instrumental platform, but will allow a quantitative comparison of results obtained with specific equipment available in the participating laboratories.

Nomenclature

Harmonization of nomenclature on mitochondrial respiratory states and control parameters: The logistics of development of a database requires application of strictly defined terms for all included variables. There is no general reference available upon which a consistent terminology on mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics can be based. The MITOEAGLE consortium, therefore, has to accomplish the ambitious goal to unify and simplify the terminology in the field for the purpose of the QMS, which will lead to the development of recommendations for the use of a common terminology in mitochondrial physiological research. A publication will be prepared as an Open Access article which will be a milestone towards a unification of concepts and nomenclature.

Knowledge management system

With an increase in data volume and complexity comes along the requirement for standardized report formats and digital accessibility of the data. Since such a database is still missing for mitochondrial physiology, the goal of WG1 is to establish an integrated and analytic environment linking mitochondrial respiration with external data (cell physiology, anthropometry, spiroergometry, lifestyle, genomics) in the context of physical fitness evaluation and clinical diagnostics. Databases will be established combining biological and clinical data comprising proprietary and publicly available datasets into one integrated solution. Data import and export functionalities will allow data upload and mapping to corresponding objects in the database, in this way generating valuable data and allowing for project-specific as well as cross-project data mining.
The ability to formulate meta-studies in our approach is an important success factor: The platform can aggregate the project’s complete knowledge and provides the ability to make diagnostic profiling associated with diseases. In addition to functional data, other data types such as nutritional or environmental factors associated with disease prevention can be identified and aggregated into the MITOEAGLE Knowledge Management System.
Querying the heterogeneous data types and result representation are the most important requirements of the knowledge platform besides to data integration and modelling. The application will feature different types of visualization techniques for all integrated data types. The database will be developed using the concept of multi-tier client-server architecture. Individual components are separated corresponding to their functionality. An upstream web server handles user requests, an application server performing business logic, and a back-end database system guaranties persistent data storage. All components are additionally separated by means of network security incorporating firewalls and are hosted in a secure environment. The platform administration ensures privacy regarding proprietary data by user rights policies.
It will be the task of WG1 to continuously collect the input from all other WGs, compare, discuss and align SOPs as far as possible, and to finally develop recommendations for quality control, data reporting and data sharing beyond the published record. In addition, WG1 will develop concepts on Open Access and institutionalized service for data management, data mining and health-care conforming standards of data interpretation. Finally, it will provide a summary on strategic dissemination and an education programme for MITOEAGLE. The education programme will ensure that not only presently participating groups will adhere to the set standards but that also groups joining in at later points may smoothly fit into the community and help to further broaden and deepen our understanding on mitochondrial physiology in health and disease.

Management

Tasks

  1. Opening of the database to the research public for data search and moderated entry of new datasets.
  2. Development of interlaboratory proficiency ring test, of recommendation/certification reports and of a MITOEAGLE proficiency training module.
  3. Sample distribution, ring test experiments (MITOEAGLE-proficiency training on two different points of time, 6 months apart), data analysis by experimenters and MITOEAGLE-proficiency test manager.
  4. Reports and publication: Reports with specific results in comparison with an anonymous data summary, and joint publication. Individual reports may be complemented by recommendations, and are summarized in an informal certification report.
  5. Instrumental platform comparison with reference sample applying comparable measurements.
  6. Draft, dissemination, collection and final formulation of a manuscript on concepts and terminology of mitochondrial physiology.
  7. Collect and discuss procedures and experimental protocols for the evaluation of mitochondrial capacities and create a library of protocols: A database comprising reference SUIT protocols, standard experimental media, and detailed instructions for OXPHOS analysis is assembled.
  8. MITOEAGLE data management system (DMS) development: The DMS for further data preprocessing. The DMS will enable management and analysis of instrument-specific and project-specific data.
  9. MITOEAGLE database (DB) development: DB will facilitate high-level project specific analysis as well as meta-analyses across projects, visualization of project specific data as well as integrative analyses of datasets for various proprietary and/or publicly available datasets.
  10. Testing of developed software components regarding functionality and usability, modification and implementation. Deployment for routine testing in the labs of our strategic partners.
  11. Data input: Upload of datasets generated through WG 2-4 in internal lab developments, results of the proficiency ring test, and during application module developments. In addition, the database will be populated with available proprietary and public datasets.
  12. Develop recommendations for quality control, data reporting and data sharing beyond the published record. Develop concepts on Open Access and institutionalized service for data management, data mining and health-care conforming standards of data interpretation.

Comments and discussion

  1. We are mostly interested in two WG: (1) Since we are working mostly with heart and muscles, we are interested in WG 2 - MITOEAGLE data repository in muscle and other tissues. (2) WG 1 - Standard operating procedures and user requirement document: Protocols, terminology, documentation. Since we have an expertise in fatty acid metabolism, we are specially interested in experimental protocols for the evaluation of mitochondrial capacities regarding fatty acid metabolism. Of course our parts of the WG are also in our interest. - Marina Makrecka-Kuka, Edgars Liepinsh (2016).
  2. My role in Mito-EAGLE would be mainly in WG 2 and 4, with a focus on skeletal and cardiac muscle and cultured cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. I would particularly like to bridge the gap between the group leaders and young investigators, trying to represent the young people who are the active users of the OROBOROS equipment. This will fit in nicely with the goals in WG1. ... Major congratulations on obtaining this beautiful collaborative grant! Very glad to see this network getting the recognition it deserves! Looking forward to being part of this! - Rob C Wuest (2016).
  3. Please, find enclosed my declaration to participate with my team in the following workgroups: WG1, WG2, WG3, WG4. We are now involved and have been in not a distant past – in studying of the following cell /tissue types:
    1. Blood cells, with particular emphasis on platelets and lymphocytes – isolated from animals and humans.
    2. Endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neurocytes (neuroblastoma), astrocytes, cancer cell lines – predominantly cultured.
    3. Hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, cell isolated from brain – isolated from lab animals. - Cezary Watala (2016).
  4. I have already contacted the portuguese CNC to nominate me for the MC of theaction. Concerning my active participation, taking into account the type of work we do in my lab I could be included in all WGs. As you know we work with mitochondria from liver, muscle and fat, as well as cultured cells from different origins (WG2-4). The elaboration of SOPs (WG1) we can certainly contribute (see the book I edited on Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and in which you contribute a chapter). I believe that everybody can be part of the WG5, but as the coordinators of the action, you and Sandra should decide what is best for the success of the action. - Carlos Palmeira (2016).
  5. I would propose my participation in the WG1: Standard operating procedures and user requirement document: Protocols, terminology, documentation, considering that the goal of WG1 is to establish an integrated and analytic environment linking mitochondrial respiration with external data (cell physiology, anthropometry, spiroergometry, lifestyle, genomics) in the context of physical fitness evaluation and clinical diagnostics. I could give my active contribution in the phase of making platform that will aggregate the Action’s complete knowledge and provides the ability to make diagnostic profiling associated with diseases in particular tasks:
    1. Develop reccomendations for quality control, data reporting and data sharing beyond the published record. Develop concepts on Open Access and institutionalised service for data management, data mining and health-care conforming standards of data interpretation
    2. Provide a summary on strategic dissemination and an education programme for MITOEAGLE.
    3. Considering that we are in process of buying the oxygraph, thus broading capacities of my lab, I would be happy to open the door of my new lab for the innovative inter-laboratory ring test experiments and together with my team contribute in that phase of the MITOEAGLE Action. I look forward to the establishment of MitoGlobal EAGLE network where, as stated in the MoU, researchers will collaborate on mapping mitochondrial physiology and medicine. The creation of such a unique well-coordinated network of senior researchers and young investigators will definitely put an added value to existing data and publications, will increase quality and validity of the research, will bring new possibilities of data sharing and data mining and will hopefully bring us to the era of more economical research by saving resources through standardised and harmnonised protocols, where the measuremnts will not be wasted due to lack of comparability. - Nebojsa Lalic (2016).
  6. Our research interest is oriented to reproductive endocrinology; especially to mechanisms that govern steroidogenesis of testicular Leydig cells in disturbed homeostasis. We use several in vivo models:
    1. stress -/+ systemic or intratesticular blockade of different stress receptors (alpha1ADR; betaADR; GR)
    2. hypogonadal-hypogonadism -/+ testosterone-replacement therapy
    3. androgens anabolics treatment -/+ blockade od AR
    4. aged rats -/+ Viagra-treatment
    5. biological clock - Silvana Andric (2016).
  7. I took a look to the MoU and the different working groups. You know well my research focus and having this into account I am interested in actions related to Working group 1 (Respirometric reference protocols, Interlaboratory proficiency test, Instrumental platforms). Working group 2 and 3: I have generated multiple mitochondrial respiration data sets in different mouse tissues (mainly in skeletal muscle, hypothalamus, liver and white adipose tissue). Currently we are also performing these assays in white adipose tissue from human patients. Hence I am interested in all milestones of WG 2 and 3. WG 5 is related to WG 1 and as you know I have interest in training, dissemination and also together with my collaborators (if needed) we could help with data sets and a data interpretation. Overall, I have a general interest on this Action and my active role in MITOEAGLE could be discussed. I could be of help participating in some of the tasks where my expertise and interest fit best. We will be forming and interdisciplinary research group with four group leaders: JC Perales, R Guimera, M Sales-Pardo and PM Garcia-Roves with two different affiliations, University of Barcelona (JCP and PMG-R - Energy metabolism) and University Rovira I Virgili (RG and MS – Data base, statistics, data mining). - Pablo M Garcia-Roves (2016).
  8. I will be pleased to contribute to the tasks of WG1 by developing interlaboratory proficiency tests and instrumental platform comparison. Moreover, as a (potential) MC member of MitoEAGLE I can also offer visibility to the Action itself (i.e. WG5: MITOEAGLE dissemination and training, according to mitoglobal.org webpages) by establishing new interactions with the International Coenzyme Q10 Association (ICQA) where I act as a member of the Executive Committee. ICQA organizes biennal conferences on new highlights of Coenzyme Q research. In 2015, we held the conference in Bologna (http://conference2015.wix.com/icqaconference) and we included in the program also some scientific sessions dedicated to mitochondrial bioenergetics and diseases. I will be pleased to enforce cooperation between ICQA and MitoEAGLE. - Maria Luisa Genova (2016).
  9. We found the scientific content and objectives of the call very interesting and compatible with our wide expertise on oxysterol analysis in food and biological systems. Our group has a large experience on lipid composition and their degradation products (volatile and non-volatile), as well as on sensory analysis. Moreover, we are currently involved in the H2020-GERI-2014-1 project "PLOTINA" ("Promoting gender balance and inclusion in research, innovation and training") with Prof. Gallina Toschi (in cc) as coordinator; the project actually includes gendered case studies where gender and sex variables are considered. You can find further information about our expertises, publications and the PLOTINA project at the following webpages: https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/maria.rodriguez/, https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/tullia.gallinatoschi/, http://www.unibo.it/en/research/projects-and-initiatives/research-projects-horizon-2020-1/plotina - Maria Teresa Rodriguez Estrada (2016).
  10. As you know, our current/developing interests are with "evolution" (species comparisons) and "environment" (hypoxia and cold exposure), but have also experience and interest in assessing effects of "lifestyle" (diet, exercise) and "aging" as well (in rodents). - Adam J Chicco (2016).
  11. Congratulations on the considerable progress with MITOEAGLE! I am keen to participate in this exciting project and I’m sure I can make a valuable contribution to it's success. I have extensive experience performing respirometry assays in human muscle biopsies, myoblasts/tubes and mouse tissues in the contexts of aging, obesity, exercise and inactivity. I feel that I could contribute to any of the five working groups, but particularly to WG2, WG4, and WG5. I am also happy and willing to serve on the Management Committee if needed. Again, congratulations on organizing such an exciting project. - Paul M Coen (2016).
