Defining Physiological Normoxia for Improved Translation of Cell Physiology to Animal Models and Humans
Open accessAbstract
The extensive oxygen gradient between the air we breathe (Po 2 ~21 kPa) and its ultimate distribution within mitochondria (as low as ~0.5-1 kPa) is testament to the efforts expended in limiting its inherent toxicity. It has long been recognized that cell culture undertaken under room air conditions falls short of replicating this protection in vitro. Despite this, difficulty in accurately determining the appropriate O 2 levels in which to culture cells, coupled with a lack of the technology to replicate and maintain a physiological O 2 environment in vitro, has hindered addressing this issue thus far. In this review, we aim to address the current understanding of tissue Po 2 distribution in vivo and summarize the attempts made to replicate these conditions in vitro. The state-of-the-art techniques employed to accurately determine O 2 levels, as well as the issues associated with reproducing physiological O 2 levels in vitro, are also critically reviewed. We aim to provide the framework for researchers to undertake cell culture under O 2 levels relevant to specific tissues and organs. We envisage that this review will facilitate a paradigm shift, enabling translation of findings under physiological conditions in vitro to disease pathology and the design of novel therapeutics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
