Defining hypoxia: a systems view of VO2, glycolysis, energetics, and intracellular PO2

R. J. Connett, C. R. Honig, T. E. Gayeski and G. A. Brooks
University of Rochester, New York 14642.

The necessity for defining hypoxia as O2-limited energy flux rather than low partial pressure is explored from a systems perspective. Oxidative phosphorylation, the Krebs cycle, glycolysis, substrate supply, and cell energetics interact as subsystems; the set point is a match between ATP demand and aerobic ATP production. To this end the transport subsystem must match the transcapillary and mitochondrial O2 fluxes. High transcapillary O2 flux requires intracellular PO2 in the range 1-10 Torr. In this range the O2 drive on electron transport must be compensated by adaptive changes in the phosphorylation and redox drives. Thus the metabolic subsystem supports diffusive O2 transport by maintaining O2 flux at intracellular partial pressures required for O2 release from blood. Since responses to stress are distributed according to the state of the entire system, several simultaneous metabolic measurements, including intracellular PO2 (or a known direction of change in intracellular PO2) and the O2 dependence of a measurable function are required to judge the adequacy of O2 supply. ATP demand and aerobic capacity must also be evaluated, because the hypoxic threshold depends on the ratio of ATP demand to aerobic capacity. The application and limitation of commonly used criteria of hypoxia are discussed, and a more precise terminology is proposed.
