Thiamine and thiamine mono-, pyro- and triphosphate were found at detectable levels in synaptosomes isolated from whole rat brain. Synaptosomes prepared from whole brain, cerebellum and medulla were also found to contain uridine and inosine mono- and diphosphatases as well as the thiamine pyrophosphate synthetizing and hydrolyzing enzymes, but no thiamine monophosphatase. By isoelectric focusing on thin layer polyacrylamide gel of Triton X-100 homogenates of synaptosomes, thiamine pyrophosphatase activity could be separated into 10 bands with different isoelectric points. The contents of thiamine compounds and enzymes in synaptosomes were generally lower than those found in neuronal cell bodies. 相似文献

BackgroundThiamine deficiency (TD) has a number of features in common with the neurodegenerative diseases development and close relationship between TD and oxidative stress (OS) has been repeatedly reported in the literature. The aim of this study is to understand how alimentary TD, accompanied by OS, affects the expression and level of two thiamine metabolism proteins in rat brain, namely, thiamine transporter 1 (THTR1) and thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK1), and what factors are responsible for the observed changes.MethodsThe effects of OS caused by TD on the THTR1and TPK1 expression in rat cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus were examined. The levels of active and oxidized forms of ThDP (enzymatically measured) in the blood and brain, ROS and SH-groups in the brain were also analyzed.ResultsTD increased the expression of THTR1 and protein level in all studied regions. In contrast, expression of TPK1 was depressed. TD-induced OS led to the accumulation of ThDP oxidized inactive form (ThDPox) in the blood and brain. In vitro reduction of ThDPox by dithiothreitol regenerates active ThDP suggesting that ThDPox is in disulfide form. A single high-dose thiamine administration to TD animals had no effect on THTR1 expression, partly raised TPK1 mRNA and protein levels, but is unable to normalize TPK1 enzyme activity. Brain and blood ThDP levels were increased in these conditions, but ThDPox was not decreased.General significanceIt is likely, that the accumulation of ThDPox in tissue could be seen as a potential marker of neurocellular dysfunction and thiamine metabolic state. 相似文献

Thiamine diphosphate (vitamin B1) plays a fundamental role as an enzymatic cofactor in universal metabolic pathways including glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In addition, thiamine diphosphate has recently been shown to have functions other than as a cofactor in response to abiotic and biotic stress in plants. Recently, several steps of the plant thiamine biosynthetic pathway have been characterized, and a mechanism of feedback regulation of thiamine biosynthesis via riboswitch has been unraveled. This review focuses on these most recent advances made in our understanding of thiamine metabolism and functions in plants. Phenotypes of plant mutants affected in thiamine biosynthesis are described, and genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data that have increased further our knowledge of plant thiamine metabolic pathways and functions are summarized. Aspects of thiamine metabolism such as catabolism, salvage, and transport in plants are discussed. 相似文献

1. Aerobic incubation at 37° of rat brain-cortex slices in Krebs–Ringer phosphate medium containing glucose and labelled thiamine results in accumulation in the tissue of labelled thiamine and labelled thiamine phosphates. The concentration of the labelled thiamine in the tissue cell water increases with increase of external labelled thiamine concentration in an approximately linear manner, the concentration ratio for labelled thiamine (tissue:medium) exceeding unity with low external thiamine concentrations (e.g. 0·2μm) and diminishing to about unity as the external thiamine concentration is increased to 1μm. The concentration of labelled phosphorylated thiamine in the tissue is at least double that of the labelled thiamine present and its amount increases with increase of external thiamine concentration. Labelled phosphorylated thiamine appears in the medium, its amount being about one-fifteenth of that in the tissue. Phosphorylation of thiamine in the tissue proceeds during incubation for 3hr. and, with an external labelled thiamine concentration of 0·2μm, about 48% conversion of thiamine takes place. 2. In the presence of ouabain (0·1mm), which does not inhibit thiamine phosphorylation in rat brain extract, there is a fall in the uptake of labelled thiamine by brain-cortex slices and the concentration ratio for the labelled thiamine (tissue:medium) falls to below unity. Anaerobiosis, lack of Na+ or the presence of Amprol (0·01mm) leads to marked inhibition of thiamine phosphorylation, and the concentration ratio for labelled thiamine (tissue:medium) falls to about unity. The facts lead to the conclusion that thiamine is conveyed into the brain cell against a concentration gradient by an energy-assisted process mediated by a membrane carrier. Pyri-thiamine is a marked inhibitor of thiamine phosphorylation in brain extract. 3. Thiamine monophosphate and thiamine diphosphate inhibit thiamine phosphorylation in brain extract. They diminish `total' thiamine (free and phosphorylated) uptake into brain-cortex slices and inhibit the transport of thiamine into the brain cell, possibly by competition for the carrier. 4. Phosphorylation of labelled thiamine in brain extract is brought about not only by adenosine triphosphate (in the presence of Mg2+) but apparently by adenosine diphosphate and uridine triphosphate. 相似文献

Thiamine state was investigated in patients with alcoholic liver disease, patients with various non-alcoholic liver diseases, and controls using a direct technique (thiochrome assay) to measure thiamine, thiamine monophospate, and the active coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate in whole blood after isolating the fractions by ion exchange chromatography. Overall nutrition was similar in all groups as assessed by anthropometry, and no patient had clinical evidence of thiamine deficiency. There was no significant difference among the groups in mean concentration of any form of thiamine. The scatter was much greater in patients with alcoholic liver disease but only 8.7% had biochemical thiamine deficiency (defined as a blood concentration of the active coenzyme greater than 2 SD below the mean control value). An unexpected finding was of abnormally high total thiamine concentrations (greater than 2 SD above the mean control value) in 17.4% of patients with alcoholic liver disease, the highest concentrations being found in two patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. The ratio of phosphorylated to unphosphorylated thiamine was calculated as an index of phosphorylation and, although the mean did not differ significantly among the groups, the range was greatest in alcoholic liver disease. The lowest ratios occurred in the two patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis, but neither had evidence of thiamine pyrophosphate deficiency. Contrary to studies using indirect assay techniques, these results suggest that thiamine deficiency is unusual in well nourished patients with alcoholic liver disease. The new finding of unexpectedly high thiamine concentrations in some patients may be due to abnormalities of hepatic storage or release in liver disease, particularly in severe alcoholic hepatitis. There was no convincing evidence of impaired thiamine phosphorylation in any patients with liver disease. Conclusions from studies using indirect assays on the prevalence and mechanisms of thiamine deficiency in liver diseases may not be valid. 相似文献

Brain levels of y-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate, activities of glutamate decarboxylase GABA-transaminase plus succinic semiaidehyde dehydrogenase and blood levels of glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate were determined in normal, thiamine-deprived, oxythiamine-treated and pyrithiamine-treated rats. Brain GABA levels were significantly reduced in thiamine-deprived and pyrithiamine-treated rats, but the activities of the enzymes of the GABA shunt pathway were not affected. Brain levels of glutamate were decreased and of 2-oxoglutarate increased in all three types of deficiency. This was associated with similar decreases in glutamate and increases in 2-oxoglutarate in the blood in all three deficient groups. Intraventricular injections of 2-[U-14C] oxoglutarate into the brain in these four groups of rats resulted in some significant differences in distribution of 14C in various TCA-pathway intermediates and satellite compounds in the brain. Increases in 14C-label were observed for glutamine and 2-oxoglutarate in all three deficient groups as compared to controls. The 14C content of succinate, fumarate and aspartate was decreased in the thiamine deprived and PTh-treated groups and [14C]glutamate was decreased in all three deficient groups. The 14C content of GABA was not significantly affected. 相似文献

Background
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential molecule for all life forms because thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) is an indispensable cofactor for oxidative energy metabolism. The less abundant thiamine monophosphate (ThMP), thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) and adenosine thiamine triphosphate (AThTP), present in many organisms, may have still unidentified physiological functions. Diseases linked to thiamine deficiency (polyneuritis, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome) remain frequent among alcohol abusers and other risk populations. This is the first comprehensive study on the distribution of thiamine derivatives in human biopsies, body fluids and cell lines.Methodology and Principal Findings
Thiamine derivatives were determined by HPLC. In human tissues, the total thiamine content is lower than in other animal species. ThDP is the major thiamine compound and tissue levels decrease at high age. In semen, ThDP content correlates with the concentration of spermatozoa but not with their motility. The proportion of ThTP is higher in humans than in rodents, probably because of a lower 25-kDa ThTPase activity. The expression and activity of this enzyme seems to correlate with the degree of cell differentiation. ThTP was present in nearly all brain and muscle samples and in ∼60% of other tissue samples, in particular fetal tissue and cultured cells. A low ([ThTP]+[ThMP])/([Thiamine]+[ThMP]) ratio was found in cardiovascular tissues of patients with cardiac insufficiency. AThTP was detected only sporadically in adult tissues but was found more consistently in fetal tissues and cell lines.Conclusions and Significance
The high sensitivity of humans to thiamine deficiency is probably linked to low circulating thiamine concentrations and low ThDP tissue contents. ThTP levels are relatively high in many human tissues, as a result of low expression of the 25-kDa ThTPase. Another novel finding is the presence of ThTP and AThTP in poorly differentiated fast-growing cells, suggesting a hitherto unsuspected link between these compounds and cell division or differentiation. 相似文献19.

The basic characteristics of thiamine metabolism in germinating seeds of maize (Zea mays), oat (Avena sativa), faba bean (Vicia faba) and garden pea (Pisum sativum) are presented with a special emphasis of a possible thiamine storage function of seed thiamine-binding proteins (TBPs). Seeds were germinated for 6 d in the dark. Thiamine-binding activity in seeds decreased during germination by 50% in cereals and by 30% in legumes. The degradation of TBPs was also detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The total thiamine content decreased rapidly to 20-40% of the initial value in cereal seeds during first 3 d of germination while in legume seeds thiamine content started changing from the fourth day and dropped by 50% at the sixth day. A composite pattern was found for the changes in thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) contribution to total thiamine during seed germination. A peak of the coenzyme percentage was usually detected at the second day of germination. Another gain of TPP was often seen toward the sixth day of germination. The activity of thiamine pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.2) was high in resting legume seeds and did not significantly change during germination. In contrast, the low activity of this thiamine-activating enzyme in cereal seeds progressively increased during germination. Thiamine phosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.3) was also detected in seeds and was shown to contribute significantly to the balance of thiamine compounds during seed germination. 相似文献
