    Abstract The ability to measure chemical gradients surrounding single cells provides novel insights into several areas of cell dynamics--particularly metabolism. Detection of metabolic oxygen consumption can be achieved from a single mammalian cell using a modulated amperometric sensor in a self-referencing mode. To date, however, apart from visual cues, we do not have a reliable and cell-compatible method for determining and stabilizing the position of such probes. In this paper, we report on having successfully measured the increase in the uncompensated resistance of an electrochemical cell upon approach to single, living, biological cells, while simultaneously measuring the metabolic oxygen consumption. This was accomplished by applying an ac and a dc excitation signal to the electrode. The applied ac waveform was a 100-kHz sine wave with an amplitude of 10 mV rms, while the dc voltage applied was -600 mV. The two signals were shown not to interfere with one another. Furthermore, it is shown that the sample-probe distance can be measured for approach to single cells on the order of 10-15-microm diameter and 5-microm height, with 100-nm resolution.

    Abstract Maturation of neuronal synapses is thought to involve mitochondria. Bcl-xL protein inhibits mitochondria-mediated apoptosis but may have other functions in healthy adult neurons in which Bcl-xL is abundant. Here, we report that overexpression of Bcl-xL postsynaptically increases frequency and amplitude of spontaneous miniature synaptic currents in rat hippocampal neurons in culture. Bcl-xL, overexpressed either pre or postsynaptically, increases synapse number, the number and size of synaptic vesicle clusters, and mitochondrial localization to vesicle clusters and synapses, likely accounting for the changes in miniature synaptic currents. Conversely, knockdown of Bcl-xL or inhibiting it with ABT-737 decreases these morphological parameters. The mitochondrial fission protein, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), is a GTPase known to localize to synapses and affect synaptic function and structure. The effects of Bcl-xL appear mediated through Drp1 because overexpression of Drp1 increases synaptic markers, and overexpression of the dominant-negative dnDrp1-K38A decreases them. Furthermore, Bcl-xL coimmunoprecipitates with Drp1 in tissue lysates, and in a recombinant system, Bcl-xL protein stimulates GTPase activity of Drp1. These findings suggest that Bcl-xL positively regulates Drp1 to alter mitochondrial function in a manner that stimulates synapse formation.
