To determine whether channeling of glycolytic intermediates canoccur in vascular smooth muscle (VSM), we permeabilized freshly isolated VSM cells from hog carotid arteries with dextran sulfate. Thedextran sulfate-treated cells did not exclude trypan blue, a dye withmolecular weight of ~1,000. If glycolytic intermediates freelydiffuse, plasmalemmal permeabilization would allow intermediates toexit the cell and glycolytic flux should cease. We incubated permeabilized and nonpermeabilized cells with 5 mM[1-13C]glucose at37°C for 3 h. 13C nuclearmagnetic resonance (NMR) was used to determine relative [3-13C]lactateproduction and to identify any13C-labeled glycolyticintermediates that exited from the permeabilized cells.[3-13C]lactateproduction from[1-13C]glucose wasdecreased by an average of 32% (n = 6) in permeabilized cells compared with intact cells. No13C-labeled glycolyticintermediates were observed in the bathing solution of permeabilizedcells. We conclude that channeling of glycolytic intermediates canoccur in VSM cells. 相似文献

We used13C-labeled substrates and nuclearmagnetic resonance spectroscopy to examine carbohydrate metabolism invascular smooth muscle of freshly isolated pig cerebral microvessels(PCMV). PCMV utilized[2-13C]glucose mainlyfor glycolysis, producing[2-13C]lactate.Simultaneously, PCMV utilized the glycolytic intermediate [1-13C]fructose1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) mainly for gluconeogenesis, producing[1-13C]glucose withonly minor[3-13C]lactateproduction. The dissimilarity in metabolism of[2-13C]FBP derivedfrom [2-13C]glucosebreakdown and metabolism of exogenous[1-13C]FBPdemonstrates that carbohydrate metabolism is compartmented in PCMV.Because glycolytic enzymes interact with microtubules, we disruptedmicrotubules with vinblastine. Vinblastine treatment significantlydecreased[2-13C]lactate peakintensity (87.8 ± 3.7% of control). The microtubule-stabilizing agent taxol also reduced[2-13C]lactate peakintensity (90.0 ± 2.4% of control). Treatment with both agentsfurther decreased[2-13C]lactateproduction (73.3 ± 4.0% of control). Neither vinblastine, taxol,or the combined drugs affected[1-13C]glucose peakintensity (gluconeogenesis) or disrupted the compartmentation ofcarbohydrate metabolism. The similar effects of taxol and vinblastine, drugs that have opposite effects on microtubule assembly, suggest thatthey produce their effects on glycolytic rate by competing withglycolytic enzymes for binding, not by affecting the overall assemblystate of the microtubule network. Glycolysis, but not gluconeogenesis,may be regulated in part by glycolytic enzyme-microtubule interactions. 相似文献

We have previously found that glycolysis and gluconeogenesis occur in separate "compartments" of the VSM cell. These compartments may result from spatial separation of glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes (Lloyd and Hardin [1999] Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 277:C1250-C1262). We have also found that an intact plasma membrane is essential for compartmentation to exist (Lloyd and Hardin [2000] Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 278:C803-C811), suggesting that glycolysis and gluconeogenesis may be associated with distinct plasma membrane microdomains. Caveolae are one such microdomain, in which proteins of related function colocalize. Thus, we hypothesized that membrane-associated glycolysis occurs in association with caveolae, while gluconeogenesis is localized to non-caveolae domains. To test this hypothesis, we disrupted caveolae in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) of pig cerebral microvessels (PCMV) with beta methyl-cyclodextrin (CD) and examined the metabolism of [2-(13)C]glucose (a glycolytic substrate) and [1-(13)C]fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP, a gluconeogenic substrate in PCMV) using (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Caveolar disruption reduced flux of [2-(13)C]glucose to [2-(13)C]lactate, suggesting that caveolar disruption partially disrupted the glycolytic pathway. Caveolae disruption may also have resulted in a breakdown of compartmentation, since conversion of [1-(13)C]FBP to [3-(13)C]lactate was increased by CD treatment. Alternatively, the increased [3-(13)C]lactate production may reflect changes in FBP uptake, since conversion of [1-(13)C]FBP to [3-(13)C]glucose was also elevated in CD-treated cells. Thus, a link between caveolar organization and metabolic organization may exist. 相似文献

Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis are sensitive to nutritional state, and the net direction of flux is controlled by multiple enzymatic steps. This delicate balance in the liver is disrupted by a variety of pathological states including cancer and diabetes mellitus. Hyperpolarized carbon-13 magnetic resonance is a new metabolic imaging technique that can probe intermediary metabolism nondestructively. There are currently no methods to rapidly distinguish livers in a gluconeogenic from glycogenolytic state. Here we use the gluconeogenic precursor dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to deliver hyperpolarized carbon-13 to the perfused mouse liver. DHA enters gluconeogenesis at the level of the trioses. Perfusion conditions were designed to establish either a gluconeogenic or a glycogenolytic state. Unexpectedly, we found that [2-13C]DHA was metabolized within a few seconds to the common intermediates and end products of both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis under both conditions, including [2,5-13C]glucose, [2-13C]glycerol 3-phosphate, [2-13C]phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), [2-13C]pyruvate, [2-13C]alanine, and [2-13C]lactate. [2-13C]Phosphoenolpyruvate, a key branch point in gluconeogenesis and glycolysis, was monitored in functioning tissue for the first time. Observation of [2-13C]PEP was not anticipated as the free energy difference between PEP and pyruvate is large. Pyruvate kinase is the only regulatory step of the common glycolytic-gluconeogenic pathway that appears to exert significant control over the kinetics of any metabolites of DHA. A ratio of glycolytic to gluconeogenic products distinguished the gluconeogenic from glycogenolytic state in these functioning livers. 相似文献

Energy metabolism in hypoxic astrocytes: Protective mechanism of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The protective effects of fructose-1,6-biphosphate (FBP) during hypoxia/ischemia are thought to result from uptake and utilization of FBP as a substrate for glycolysis or from stimulation of glucose metabolism. To test these hypotheses, we measumed CO2 and lactate production from [6-14C]glucose, [1-14C]glucose, and [U-14C]FBP in normoxic and hypoxic cultured astrocytes with and without FBP present. FBP had little effect on CO2 production by glycolysis, but increased CO2 production by the pentose phosphate pathway. Labeled FBP produced very small amounts of CO2. Lactate production from [1-, and 6-14C]glucose increased similarly during hypoxic hypoxia; the increase was independent of added FBP. Labeled lactate from [U-14C]FBP was minimal. We conclude that exogenous FBP is not used by astrocytes as a substrate for glycolysis and that FBP alters glucose metabolism. 相似文献

L-929 cells permeabilized by dextran sulfate (DSP cells) carry out vigorous and linear rates of glycolysis when supplied with a suitable incubation medium. Unlabeled 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) added to DSP cells reduces the specific activity of lactate coming from [14C]glucose but the extent of this reduction can not be accounted for on the basis of free diffusion of PGA coming from [14C]glucose. Studies on other glycolytic intermediates, although preliminary, yield similar results. PGA also inhibits the production of lactate from glucose; however, this effect, like that of the reduction of lactate specific activity, becomes apparent only at concentrations of PGA well in excess of those considered to be physiological. We conclude that channelling of PGA, and probably other intermediates, occurs but is of the "leaky" type. 相似文献

Glucose metabolism and the channeling of glycolytic intermediates in permeabilized L-929 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L-929 cells (mouse fibroblasts) permeabilized with dextran sulfate (DSP cells) carry out vigorous and linear rates of glycolysis when supplied with a suitable incubation medium. Glycolysis in DSP cells is pH dependent, being strongly inhibited at pH 6.5. Compared to their nonpermeabilized counterparts, DSP cells exhibit faster glycolytic rates, but tend to convert a smaller proportion of the glucose utilized to lactate. [14C]Glucose is converted to lactate by DSP cells without dilution from endogenous substrates. When exogenous 12C-labeled glycolytic intermediates (12C-I) are added to glycolyzing DSP cells the [14C]lactate produced from [14C]glucose is diluted to varying extents, depending on the intermediate. However, the extent of that dilution (reduced specific activity) is not that expected from the complete mixing of exogenous 12C-I with their corresponding 14C-labeled intermediates coming from [14C]-glucose. DSP cells also respire and convert glucose to CO2. The amount of 14CO2 produced from [14C]glucose is also reduced by addition of most 12C-I, an interesting exception being pyruvate, which had no measurable effect on 14CO2 production and caused only a modest stimulation of respiration in glycolyzing DSP cells. These results suggest that channeling, or some other form of coupling, takes place between the glycolytic production of pyruvate and its further oxidation. These observations confirm previously published data and add further support to the proposition that channeling of glycolytic intermediates occurs in DSP cells but is of the "leaky" type. Although abundant evidence in the literature indicates that various glycolytic enzymes associate with F-actin, as well as other elements of the cytomatrix, we observed no effect of cytochalasin D on lactate production even at very high concentrations of this compound. Our results are compared with those from other laboratories and discussed in the context of metabolic organization. 相似文献

The proplastid fraction containing no cytosol and mitochondrionwas isolated from developing castor bean endosperm by stepwisesucrose density centrifugation. This fraction possesses thecapacity to synthesize LFAs from [u-14C]sucrose, [u-14C]-glucose,[u-14C]G-1-P, [u-14C]G-6-P, [2-14C]pyruvate and [1-14C]acetate.Little was incorporated from [1-14C]pyruvate into LFAs, butmuch into 14COa. Addition of cytosol to the proplastid fractiondid not enhance the LFA synthesis. From these data, the wholepath from sucrose to LFAs through glycolytic path and pyruvatedecarboxylation seems to be located within the proplastid indeveloping castor bean endosperm. The difference in utilizationof substrates indicates that the rate of LFA synthesis in castorbean proplastids is limited at a step between sucrose and hexosephosphate. In addition, experiments with CO2 output and LFAsynthesis from [1-14C]glucose, [6-14C]glucose and [u-14C]G-6-Pstrongly suggest that the path flow branches actively throughG-6-P to the pentose phosphate path and little through acetylCoAto the TCA cycle.

Cellular pyruvate is an essential metabolite at the crossroads of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, capable of supporting fermentative glycolysis by reduction to lactate mediated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) among other functions. Several inherited diseases of mitochondrial metabolism impact extracellular (plasma) pyruvate concentrations, and [1-13C]pyruvate infusion is used in isotope-labeled metabolic tracing studies, including hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. However, how these extracellular pyruvate sources impact intracellular metabolism is not clear. Herein, we examined the effects of excess exogenous pyruvate on intracellular LDH activity, extracellular acidification rates (ECARs) as a measure of lactate production, and hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate-to-[1-13C]lactate conversion rates across a panel of tumor and normal cells. Combined LDH activity and LDHB/LDHA expression analysis intimated various heterotetrameric isoforms comprising LDHA and LDHB in tumor cells, not only canonical LDHA. Millimolar concentrations of exogenous pyruvate induced substrate inhibition of LDH activity in both enzymatic assays ex vivo and in live cells, abrogated glycolytic ECAR, and inhibited hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate-to-[1-13C]lactate conversion rates in cellulo. Of importance, the extent of exogenous pyruvate-induced inhibition of LDH and glycolytic ECAR in live cells was highly dependent on pyruvate influx, functionally mediated by monocarboxylate transporter-1 localized to the plasma membrane. These data provided evidence that highly concentrated bolus injections of pyruvate in vivo may transiently inhibit LDH activity in a tissue type- and monocarboxylate transporter-1–dependent manner. Maintaining plasma pyruvate at submillimolar concentrations could potentially minimize transient metabolic perturbations, improve pyruvate therapy, and enhance quantification of metabolic studies, including hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging and stable isotope tracer experiments. 相似文献

The effect of thyroid status on glucose recycling was measured in intact rats by comparing the fates of differently labeled [3H]- and [14C]glucose. Glucose recycling at the level of three-carbon compounds (i.e., Cori and glucose-alanine cycles) was measured by comparing the rates of turnover of [6-3H]- and [6-14C]glucose in the same animal. The rate of recycling increased (33–110%) in hyperthyroid rats and decreased (22–30%) in hypothyroid (thyroidectomized) rats. The relative importance of the Cori and glucose-alanine cycles was measured by analyzing the labeled glycolytic intermediates after the injection of labeled glucose; and by measuring the rate of glucose production from the infused labeled lactate and alanine. The results showed that the rate of the Cori cycle is much greater than the glucose-alanine cycle in rats. Substrate cycling at the level of glucokinase-glucose-6-phosphatase was measured by comparing the rates of turnover of [2-3H]- and [6-3H]glucose; and phosphofructokinase-fructose bisphosphatase was measured by comparing the rates of turnover of [3-3H]- and [6-3H]glucose. These cycles were also affected by thyroid states of the animals. The rate of the phosphofructokinase-fructose bisphosphatase cycle increased threefold in hyperthyroid rats and decreased by about half in hypothyroid rats. The glucokinase-glucose-6-phosphatase substrate cycle occurred at the rate of nearly 2 μmol/min/100 g body wt in the hyperthyroid, fasted rats; it was not detectable in hypo- or euthyroid rats. The contribution of the energy released by these cycles to thyroid thermogenesis was discussed. Effects of thyroid states on glucose metabolism in perfused muscles were also studied. There is an apparent shift in the source of energy for oxidation in the hyperthyroid rat. The ratio of lactate production to glucose uptake was significantly elevated in the hyperthyroid rats. This change predisposes for increased glucose recycling in hyperthyroid rats to avoid lactate accumulation and acidosis. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine if the ketogenic diet could be useful for glioblastoma patients. The hypothesis tested
was whether glioblastoma cells can metabolize ketone bodies. Cerebellar astrocytes and C6 glioblastoma cells were incubated
in glutamine and serum free medium containing [2,4-13C]β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) with and without glucose. Furthermore, C6 cells were incubated with [1-13C]glucose in the presence and absence of BHB. Cell extracts were analyzed by mass spectrometry and media by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy and HPLC. Using [2,4-13C]BHB and [1-13C]glucose it could be shown that C6 cells, in analogy to astrocytes, had efficient mitochondrial activity, evidenced by 13C labeling of glutamate, glutamine and aspartate. However, in the presence of glucose, astrocytes were able to produce and
release glutamine, whereas this was not accomplished by the C6 cells, suggesting lack of anaplerosis in the latter. We hypothesize
that glioblastoma cells kill neurons by not supplying the necessary glutamine, and by releasing glutamate. 相似文献

The metabolic effects of extracellular glutamine (2.5 mM) or high potassium (25 mM) on glucose metabolism were studied in cultured cerebellar astrocytes. High potassium caused an increased glycolytic flux and an increase in glutamine release. Exposure to glutamine increased glycolytic flux and alanine formation, indicating that glutamine uptake is an energy requiring process. The effects of glutamine and high potassium on glycolytic flux were additive. Formation of metabolites from [1-13C]glucose and [2-13C]acetate confirmed the effects of glutamine and high potassium on glycolytic metabolism. In the presence of extracellular glutamine, analysis of the 13C labeling patterns of citrate and glutamine indicated a decrease in the cycling ratio and/or pyruvate carboxylation and glutamine synthesis from [1-13C]glucose did occur, but was decreased. Exposure to high potassium led to extracellular accumulation of acetate, presumably through non-enzymatic decarboxylation of pyruvate. 相似文献

The biosynthetic pathway from D-glucose to L-(+)-tartaric acid(TA) in detached leaves of the bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L.,was studied in three cultivars, two of which were known to containTA and one of which lacked TA, with the aid of several putativeradiolabeled intermediates, namely D-[l-14C]glucose, D-[6-14C]glucose,D-[U-14C]glucose, D-[U-14C]gluconate, L-[U-14C]-ascorbic acid,L-[l-l4C]idonate, D-xylo-5-[U-14C]hexulosonate, D-xylo-5-[l-14C]hexulosonate,D-xylo-5-[6-l4C]hexulosonate and L-[U-l4C]threonate. D-[U-14C]Glucoseand D-[U-l4C]gluconate were converted to TA with low isotopicyield but this yield was further reduced when leaf tissues weresupplied with unlabeled D-gluconate or D-xylo-5-hexulosonate.D-xylo-5-[U-14C]Hexulosonate and D-xylo-5-[l-14C]hexulosonatewere good precursors of TA. D-xylo-5-[6-14C]Hexulosonate didnot furnish 14C to TA. Addition of a metabolic product of D-xylo-5-hexulosonate(which was labeled by D-xylo-5-[l-14C]hexulosonate but not byD-xylo-5-[6-14C]hexulosonate) to leaves labeled with D-xylo-5-[l-14C]hexulosonatedoubled the incorporation of 14C into TA. L-[U-14C]Ascorbicacid, L-[l-14C]idonate and L-[U-14C]threonate failed to producelabeled TA. A metabolic scheme to accommodate these observationsis presented.

Human diploid fibroblasts metabolize up to 13% of the glutamine in tissue culture medium to lactate. Four μCi of glutamine-U-14C were added to media containing 5 mM or 65 μM glucose or medium containing no added glucose, but supplemented with purine and pyrimidine nucleosides (HGTU). Aliquots of the media were taken at daily intervals and were assayed for glucose, lactate, pyruvate, malate, citrate, aspartate, glutamine, and glutamate. The label incorporation into these compounds was determined, except for glutamine and glucose. The distribution of label from glutamine-U14C in 5 mM glucose medium by day 4 was lactate (10.2%), glutamate (15.2%), citrate (1.9%), pyruvate (2.0%), malate (1.1%), and aspartate (< 0.1%). The accumulation of label in lactate and glutamate occurred continuously during the growth cycle. Malate, citrate, and aspartate accumulation occurred primarily in confluent cultures. The label in aspartate was seen only in stationary phase cells or when the glucose concentration was decreased to 65 μM or less; net aspartate accumulation was increased twofold in low glucose media. These data demonstrate an actively functioning pathway for the conversion of 4-carbon TCA-cycle intermediates to 3-carbon glycolytic intermediates in human diploid fibroblasts. 相似文献

Renal papillary collecting duct cells have been postulated to adapt their intracellular osmolality to the large changes in interstitial osmolality by changing their content of 'non-perturbing' organic osmolytes such as sorbitol and myo-inositol. 13C-NMR was used in this study to elucidate the metabolic pathways leading to a synthesis of those compounds. Incubation of rabbit renal papillary tissue with [1-13C]glucose showed label scrambling mainly into sorbitol (C-1) and lactate (C-3). This result confirms activity of aldose reductase and glycolytic enzymes in renal papillary cells. Using [3-13C]alanine or [2-13C]pyruvate as carbon source, 13C-labeling of sorbitol and myo-inositol was observed, indicating that renal papillary tissue possesses, in addition, gluconeogenic activity. The latter assumption is supported by the result that in enzyme assays rabbit kidney papilla and isolated rat kidney papillary collecting duct cells show significant fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity. 相似文献

Péronnet, F., Y. Burelle, D. Massicotte, C. Lavoie,and C. Hillaire-Marcel. Respective oxidation of13C-labeled lactate and glucoseingested simultaneously during exercise. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(2): 440-446, 1997.The purpose ofthis experiment was to measure, by using13C labeling, the oxidation rateof exogenous lactate (25 g, as Na+,K+,Ca2+, andMg2+ salts) and glucose (75 g)ingested simultaneously (in 1,000 ml of water) during prolongedexercise (120 min, 65 ± 3% maximum oxygen uptake in 6 male subjects). The percentage of exogenous glucose and lactateoxidized were similar (48 ± 3 vs. 45 ± 5%, respectively). However, because of the small amount of oral lactate that could be tolerated without gastrointestinal discomfort, the amountof exogenous lactate oxidized was much smaller than that of exogenousglucose (11.1 ± 0.5 vs. 36.3 ± 1.3 g, respectively) andcontributed to only 2.6 ± 0.4% of the energy yield(vs. 8.4 ± 1.9% for exogenous glucose). The cumulative amount ofexogenous glucose and lactate oxidized was similar to that observedwhen 100 g of[13C]glucose wereingested (47.3 ± 1.8 vs. 50.9 ± 1.2 g, respectively). When[13C]glucose wasingested, changes in the plasma glucose13C/12Cratio indicated that between 39 and 61% of plasma glucose derived fromexogenous glucose. On the other hand, the plasma glucose 13C/12Cratio remained unchanged when[13C]lactate wasingested, suggesting no prior conversion into glucose before oxidation. 相似文献

A novel inhibitor of lactate transport, AR-C122982, was used to study the effect of inhibiting the monocarboxylate transporters
MCT1 and MCT2 on cortical brain slice metabolism. We studied metabolism of l-[3-13C]lactate, and d-[1-13C]glucose under a range of conditions. Experiments using l-[3-13C]lactate showed that the inhibitor AR-C122982 altered exchange of lactate. Under depolarizing conditions, net flux of label
from d-[1-13C]glucose was barely altered by 10 or 100 nM AR-C122982. In the presence of AMPA or glutamate there were increases in net
flux of label and metabolic pool sizes. These data suggest lactate may supply compartments in the brain not usually directly
accessed by glucose. In general, it would appear that movement of lactate between cell types is not essential for metabolic
activity, with the heavy metabolic workloads imposed being unaffected by inhibition of MCT1 and MCT2. Further experiments
investigating the mechanism of operation of AR-C122982 are necessary to corroborate this finding. 相似文献

In 614-day-old etiolated seedlings of Euphorbia lashyrisa latex triterpene synthesis of 19 µg day1 wasrecorded. This production was proportional to stem growth. Laticiferdistribution in the cotyledons and stem was studied. In ultra-thinsections the occurrence of many mitochondria was observed. A14C-latex triterpene synthesis was measured after 14C-glucoseand 14C-sucrose uptake by the cotyledons in which most of the14C-triterpenes were synthesized. 14C-incorporation into theselipids from [114C]glucose, [6-14C]glucose and [3,414points to a glycolytic catabolism of glucose prior to terpenesynthesis.

The metabolism of [2-14C]thymine, [2-14C]thymidine, [2-14C]uraciland [14C]uridine was investigated in protoplasts obtained fromsuspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus. Most of the exogenouslysupplied thymine, thymidine and uracil was degraded, and salvageof these pyrimidines accounted for 536 per cent of thetotal amount of 14C-labelled precursors which was metabolized.However, more than 80 per cent of the labelled uridine was utilizedfor the biosynthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids, and therest was degraded. In contrast to the results from protoplastsof sugar cane cells in suspension culture, the data indicatethat protoplasts possess a pathway for the degradation of pyrimidines,and that the overall metabolism of these pyrimidines in protoplastsis very similar to the metabolism in the intact cells.

The KOH-catalyzed isomerization of d-[1-13C]mannose under anaerobic conditions was studied by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. d-[1-13C]Glucose and d-[1-13C]fructose are generated during the reaction, as expected. In addition, however, [16-13C]glucose, [6-13C]mannose, and [6-13C]fructose are produced in small proportions, possibly via symmetrical 3,4-enediol intermediates. The involvement of the latter structures in 13C-label shifting is inferred from the observation of [1-13C]sorbose and [6-13C]sorbose in the reaction mixture. 相似文献
