Glutamine decreases lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal inflammation in infant rats

Using a gastrostomy-fed (GF) rat infant "pup-in-a-cup" model, the effects of protein deprivation and supplemental glutamine (Gln) and glutamate (Glu) were examined to test the hypothesis that Gln decreases the proinflammatory response induced by LPS in the developing infant rat small intestine. Four groups of 6- to 7-day-old pups were fed a rat milk substitute (RMS), one providing 100% and three providing 25% of normal protein intake for another 6 days. Two of the 25% protein-fed groups received supplemental Gln or Glu. GF and LPS treatment blunted body growth and intestinal villus height and increased intestinal cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) mRNA in the protein-deprived, non-Gln-treated group compared with mother-fed pups (P < 0.05). Gln blunted intestinal CINC mRNA (P < 0.05), but Glu did not. Intestinal CINC peptide in the LPS-treated pups provided 100 and 25% protein was elevated approximately 13-fold compared with the mother-reared pups (P < 0.001). Gln and Glu decreased intestinal CINC peptide by 73 and 80%, respectively. GF, LPS-treated pups also had a higher level of plasma CINC peptide (P < 0.05). Gln but not Glu decreased plasma CINC peptide (P < 0.05). An approximate sixfold elevation of intestinal MPO activity in the GF, LPS-treated rats was decreased by Gln and Glu by 92% (P < 0.001) and 54% (P < 0.05), respectively. Intestinal and plasma TNF-alpha were increased in GF, LPS-treated pups (P < 0.01), and Gln and Glu both blunted this increase (P < 0.05) in the intestine but not in the plasma. The results indicate that Gln decreases the LPS-induced inflammatory response in infant rat intestine under different conditions of protein intake.

Walker 256 tumour growth causes marked changes of glutamine metabolism in rat small intestine

The effect of Walker 256 tumour growth on the metabolism of glucose and glutamine in the small intestine of rats was examined. Walker 256 tumour has been extensively used as an experimental model to induce cancer cachexia in rats. Walker 256 tumour growth decreased body weight and small intestine weight and length. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphate-dependent glutaminase were reduced in the proximal, median and distal portions of the intestine. Glutamine oxidation was reduced in the proximal portion only. The decrease in glutaminase activity was not due to a low synthesis of the protein as indicated by Western blotting analysis. Hexokinase and citrate synthase activities were not changed by the tumour. These findings led us to postulate that tumour growth impairs glutamine metabolism of small intestine but the mechanism involved remains to be elucidated.     

Inhibition of MCL‐1 by obatoclax sensitizes Sp2/0‐Ag14 hybridoma cells to glutamine deprivation‐induced apoptosis

For several cancer cell types, the lack of an adequate supply of the amino acidl ‐glutamine (Gln) triggers apoptosis, a phenomenon termed Gln addiction. In this report, we examined the role of the anti‐apoptotic proteins of the B‐cell lymphoma 2 (BCL‐2) protein family in the survival of Sp2/0‐Ag14 (Sp2/0) mouse hybridoma cells, a cell line that undergoes apoptosis within minutes of Gln deprivation. Western blot analysis revealed that myeloid cell leukaemia 1 (MCL‐1) was expressed at much higher levels than BCL‐2, B‐cell lymphoma extra‐large and BCL‐2‐like protein 2 making it the prominent pro‐survival BCL‐2 family member in this hybridoma. Gln deprivation triggered a progressive decrease in MCL‐1 protein levels, which coincided with the decrease in Sp2/0 cell survival. Moreover, Sp2/0 cells were much more sensitive to the broad Bcl‐2 homology domain‐3 (BH3) mimetic obatoclax (which targets MCL‐1) than to the more selective drug ABT‐737 (which does not target MCL‐1). Finally, we show that obatoclax sensitizes Sp2/0 cells to apoptosis following Gln starvation. All together, the data presented here reveal that modulation of the pro‐survival protein MCL‐1 is an important step in the sequence of events leading to the initiation of apoptosis in Gln‐starved Sp2/0 cells. Cancer cells require an adequate supply ofl ‐glutamine for their survival. Using a mouse hybridoma cell line that is exquisitely sensitive to glutamine starvation, we show that the levels of the pro‐survival BCL‐2 family protein MCL‐1 decrease upon glutamine starvation in a manner that correlates with the loss of cell viability. Moreover, inhibiting MCL‐1 with the drug obatoclax sensitizes hybridoma cells to glutamine starvation. Thus, in some cancer cells, glutamine starvation triggers the inactivation of pro‐survival proteins. Our data suggest that the combined inhibition of glutamine biosynthesis pathways and BCL‐2 proteins may prove effective against some cancers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The regulation of glutamine and ketone-body metabolism in the small intestine of the long-term (40-day) streptozotocin-diabetic rat.

The small intestine is the major site of glutamine utilization in the mammalian body. During prolonged (40-day) streptozotocin-diabetes in the rat there is a marked increase in both the size and the phosphate-activated glutaminase activity of the small intestine. Despite this increased capacity, intestinal glutamine utilization ceases in diabetic rats. Mean arterial glutamine concentration fell by more than 50% in diabetic rats, suggesting that substrate availability is responsible for the decrease in intestinal glutamine use. When arterial glutamine concentrations in diabetic rats were elevated by infusion of glutamine solutions, glutamine uptake across the portal-drained viscera was observed. The effect of other respiratory fuels on intestinal glutamine metabolism was examined. Infusions of ketone bodies did not affect glutamine use by the portal-drained viscera of non-diabetic rats. Prolonged diabetes had no effect on the activity of 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase in the small intestine or on the rate of ketone-body utilization in isolated enterocytes. Glutamine (2 mM) utilization was decreased in enterocytes isolated from diabetic rats as compared with those from control animals. However, glutaminase activity in homogenates of enterocytes was unchanged by diabetes. In enterocytes isolated from diabetic rats the addition of ketone bodies or octanoate decreased glutamine use. It is proposed that during prolonged diabetes ketone bodies, and possibly fatty acids, replace glutamine as the major respiratory fuel of the small intestine.     

Analysis of Glutamine Accumulation in Rat Brain Mitochondria in the Presence of a Glutamine Uptake Inhibitor,Histidine, Reveals Glutamine Pools With a Distinct Access to Deamidation

Rat cerebral nonsynaptic mitochondria were incubated in medium containing 2 mM glutamine (Gln) or 2 mM glutamate (Glu), in the presence of a Gln uptake inhibitor histidine (His) as well as other basic amino acids, lysine and arginine (Lys, Arg) not inhibiting Gln uptake. Subsequently, the mitochondrial contents of Glu and Gln were determined by HPLC. Incubation in the presence of Glu alone increased the Glu content from 3.5 to 15 nmol/mg protein, without affecting the Gln content. On the other hand, incubation with Gln increased the content of Gln from 1.5 to 12 nmol/mg, and that of Glu to 10 nmol/mg. As expected, addition of His did not alter the Glu and Gln content resulting from incubation with Glu. However, His significantly decreased to almost the preincubation level the content of Glu in mitochondria incubated with Gln, without affecting the content of Gln. No other amino acid had any effect on these parameters. The results point to the existence of distinct Gln pools, one of which is accessible to external Gln via a His-sensitive transporter and is accessible for deamidation in the mitochondria.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Lawrence F.
