Factors affecting broth viscosity and coenzyme Q10 production by Agrobacterium species

Summary In the production of coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀) by Agrobacterium sp. the culture broth becomes highly viscous. In an attempt to improve the production process, the effects of chemical and physical factors on broth viscosity and CoQ₁₀ production were studied, using Agrobacterium sp. KY-8593. A particular concentration ratio of sugar to ammonium-nitrogen (NH₄–N) in the medium could effectively enhance CoQ₁₀ production without increasing broth viscosity. An increase in culture temperature to between 32°C and 34°C lowered broth viscosity without reducing CoQ₁₀ production. NH₄–N concentration and temperature had a correlative effect on broth viscosity. At a temperature of about 33°C, there was a wide range of NH₄–N concentration which was optimal for both broth viscosity and CoQ₁₀ production. In optimal conditions with 8% sugar the apparent broth viscosity was reduced to less than 10 pseudo-cP and CoQ₁₀ production was increased to more than 80 mg/l.     

Human Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency

Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q₁₀ or CoQ₁₀) is a lipid-soluble component of virtually all cell membranes and has multiple metabolic functions. Deficiency of CoQ₁₀ (MIM 607426) has been associated with five different clinical presentations that suggest genetic heterogeneity, which may be related to the multiple steps in CoQ₁₀ biosynthesis. Patients with all forms of CoQ₁₀ deficiency have shown clinical improvements after initiating oral CoQ₁₀ supplementation. Thus, early diagnosis is of critical importance in the management of these patients. This year, the first molecular defect causing the infantile form of primary human CoQ₁₀ deficiency has been reported. The availability of genetic testing will allow for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease and early initiation of therapy (even presymptomatically in siblings of patients) in this otherwise life-threatening infantile encephalomyopathy.

Coenzyme Q10 in cardiovascular disease

In this review we summarise the current state of knowledge of the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of action of CoQ₁₀ in cardiovascular disease. Our conclusions are: 1. There is promising evidence of a beneficial effect of CoQ₁₀ when given alone or in addition to standard therapies in hypertension and in heart failure, but less extensive evidence in ischemic heart disease. 2. Large scale multi-centre prospective randomised trials are indicated in all these areas but there are difficulties in funding such trials. 3. Presently, due to the notable absence of clinically significant side effects and likely therapeutic benefit, CoQ₁₀ can be considered a safe adjunct to standard therapies in cardiovascular disease.     

Attenuation of Cocaine and Methamphetamine Neurotoxicity by Coenzyme Q10

The neurotoxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine (METH) were studied in mice brain with a primary objective to determine the neuroprotective potential of coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀) in drug addiction. Repeated treatment of cocaine or METH induced significant reduction in the striatal dopamine and CoQ₁₀ in mice. Cocaine or METH-treated mice exhibited increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) in the striatum and cerebral cortex without any significant change in the cerebellum. Complex I immunoreactivity was inhibited in both cocaine and METH-treated mice, whereas tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity was decreased in METH-treated mice and increased in cocaine-treated mice. Neither cocaine nor METH could induce significant change in α-synuclein expression at the doses and duration we have used in the present study. CoQ₁₀ treatment attenuated cocaine and METH-induced inhibition in the striatal ¹⁸F-DOPA uptake as determined by high-resolution microPET neuroimaging. Hence exogenous administration of CoQ₁₀ may provide neuroprotection in drug addiction.     

Lactate increases coenzyme Q10 production by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

By the optimization of nitrogen source for coenzyme Q₁₀ (ubiquinone, CoQ₁₀) production in Agrobacterium tumefaciens KCCM 10413 culture, the highest CoQ₁₀ production was achieved in medium containing corn steep powder (CSP). Components for a stimulatory effect on the production of CoQ₁₀ in CSP were screened, and lactate was found to increase dry cell weight (DCW) and the specific CoQ₁₀ content. In a fed-batch culture of A. tumefaciens, supplementation with 1.5 g of lactate l⁻¹ further improved DCW, the specific CoQ₁₀ content, and CoQ₁₀ production by 16.0, 5.8, and 22.8%, respectively. It has been reported that lactate stimulates cell growth and acts as an accelerator driving the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (Roberto et al. 2002, Biotechnol Let 24:427–431; Matsuoka et al. 1996, Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 60:575–579). In this study, lactate supplementation increased DCW and the specific CoQ₁₀ content in A. tumefaciens culture, probably by accelerating TCA cycle and energy production as reported previously, leading to the increase of CoQ₁₀ production.

Coenzyme Q10 in phenylketonuria and mevalonic aciduria

Mevalonic aciduria (MVA) and phenylketonuria (PKU) are inborn errors of metabolism caused by deficiencies in the enzymes mevalonate kinase and phenylalanine 4-hydroxylase, respectively. Despite numerous studies the factors responsible for the pathogenicity of these disorders remain to be fully characterised. In common with MVA, a deficit in coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀) concentration has been implicated in the pathophysiology of PKU. In MVA the decrease in CoQ₁₀ concentration may be attributed to a deficiency in mevalonate kinase, an enzyme common to both CoQ₁₀ and cholesterol synthesis. However, although dietary sources of cholesterol cannot be excluded, the low/normal cholesterol levels in MVA patients suggests that some other factor may also be contributing to the decrease in CoQ₁₀.The main factor associated with the low CoQ₁₀ level of PKU patients is purported to be the elevated phenylalanine level. Phenylalanine has been shown to inhibit the activities of both 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase, enzymes common to both cholesterol and CoQ₁₀ biosynthesis.Although evidence of a lowered plasma/serum CoQ₁₀ level has been reported in MVA and PKU, few studies have assessed the intracellular CoQ₁₀ concentration of patients. Plasma/serum CoQ₁₀ is influenced by dietary intake as well as its lipoprotein content and therefore may be limited as a means of assessing intracellular CoQ₁₀ concentration. Whether the pathogenesis of MVA and PKU are related to a loss of CoQ₁₀ has yet to be established and further studies are required to assess the intracellular CoQ₁₀ concentration of patients before this relationship can be confirmed or refuted.     

Water-Soluble Coenzyme Q10 Reduces Rotenone-Induced Mitochondrial Fission

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. It is usually accompanied by an imbalance in mitochondrial dynamics and changes in mitochondrial morphology that are associated with impaired function. The objectives of this study were to identify the effects of rotenone, a drug known to mimic the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease, on mitochondrial dynamics. Additionally, this study explored the protective effects of water-soluble Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) against rotenone-induced cytotoxicity in murine neuronal HT22 cells. Our results demonstrate that rotenone elevates protein expression of mitochondrial fission markers, Drp1 and Fis1, and causes an increase in mitochondrial fragmentation as evidenced through mitochondrial staining and morphological analysis. Water-soluble CoQ10 prevented mitochondrial dynamic imbalance by reducing Drp1 and Fis1 protein expression to pre-rotenone levels, as well as reducing rotenone treatment-associated mitochondrial fragmentation. Hence, water-soluble CoQ10 may have therapeutic potential in treating patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Coenzyme Q10 Protects Hair Cells against Aminoglycoside

It is well known that the production of free radicals is associated with sensory cell death induced by an aminoglycoside. Many researchers have reported that antioxidant reagents protect sensory cells in the inner ear, and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is consumed as a health food in many countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of CoQ10 in mammalian vestibular hair cell death induced by aminoglycoside. Cultured utricles of CBA/CaN mice were divided into three groups (control group, neomycin group, and neomycin + CoQ10 group). In the neomycin group, utricles were cultured with neomycin (1 mM) to induce hair cell death. In the neomycin + CoQ10 group, utricles were cultured with neomycin and water-soluble CoQ10 (30–0.3 µM). Twenty-four hours after exposure to neomycin, the cultured tissues were fixed, and vestibular hair cells were labeled using an anti-calmodulin antibody. Significantly more hair cells survived in the neomycin + CoQ10 group than in the neomycin group. These data indicate that CoQ10 protects sensory hair cells against neomycin-induced death in the mammalian vestibular epithelium; therefore, CoQ10 may be useful as a protective drug in the inner ear.     

Enhancement of Coenzyme Q10 Accumulation by Mutation and Effects of Medium Components on the Formation of Coenzyme Q Homologs by Pseudomonas N842 and Mutants

Mutation of Pseudomonas N842 was carried out to increase CoQ₁₀ production. The productivity of CoQ₁₀ was improved considerably by repeated mutation, and the content of CoQ₁₀ per unit cell of the fifth generation mutant was approximately 6 times that of the wild strain, Pseudomonas N842. CoQ₁₁, which was hardly detectable in the wild strain, increased significantly by mutation, and the ratio of CoQ₁₁ to total CoQ exceeded 20% in the fourth generation mutant. Intermittent feeding of glucose to the culture medium during cultivation increased cell yield and CoQ production. When total glucose added was 5 times that of basal medium, cell yield and CoQ formation respectively increased about 3 and 4 times.
