AMP-activated protein kinase-independent inhibition of hepatic mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by AICA riboside.

ABSTRACT: AICA riboside (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside) has been extensively used in cells to activate the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a metabolic sensor involved in cell energy homoeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of AICA riboside on mitochondrial oxidative; phosphorylation. AICA riboside was found to dose-dependently inhibit the oligomycin-sensitive JO2 (oxygen consumption rate) of isolated rat hepatocytes. A decrease in P(i) (inorganic phosphate), ATP, AMP and total adenine nucleotide contents was also observed with AICA riboside concentrations >0.1 mM. Interestingly, in hepatocytes from mice lacking both alpha1 and alpha2 AMPK catalytic subunits, basal JO2 and expression of several mitochondrial proteins were significantly reduced compared with wild-type mice, suggesting that mitochondrial biogenesis was perturbed. However, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was still present in the mutant mice and thus was clearly not mediated by AMPK. In permeabilized hepatocytes, this inhibition was no longer evident, suggesting that it could be due to intracellular accumulation of Z nucleotides and/or loss of adenine nucleotides and P(i). ZMP did indeed inhibit respiration in isolated rat mitochondria through a direct effect on the respiratory-chain complex I. In addition, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was also potentiated in cells incubated with fructose to deplete adenine nucleotides and P(i). We conclude that AICA riboside inhibits cellular respiration by an AMPK-independent mechanism that likely results from the combined intracellular P(i) depletion and ZMP accumulation. Our data also demonstrate that the cellular effects of AICA riboside are not necessarily caused by AMPK activation and that their interpretation should be taken with caution.

Project description:Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens, a nutritional metabolic disorder disease, can lead to the decline of laying rate, shortening of laying peak period and increase of mortality, which seriously constrain the sustainable development of layer industry. Until now, there is no effective strategies can prevent and control the occurrence of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome in laying hens. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a major sensor of cellular energy status, acts a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in body. However, the potential molecular mechanisms about AMP-activated protein kinase signal in controlling the occurrence of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome are remain unclear. In present study, we found that the phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (Thr172) protein level was markedly reduced in palmitic acid plus oleic acid (PO)-induced primary chicken hepatocytes. Moreover, blocked AMP-activated protein kinase signal by AMP-activated protein kinase inhibitor compound C obviously exacerbated lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response triggered by palmitic acid plus oleic acid in primary chicken hepatocytes. Nevertheless, the lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response challenged by palmitic acid plus oleic acid were obviously alleviated through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase signal with AMP-activated protein kinase activator AICAR in hepatocytes. In addition, we found that the beneficial effects of AMP-activated protein kinase signal in relieving lipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress and inflammatory response are achieved by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF-2)/kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) pathway and inhibiting the NF-κB pathway in PO-stimulated primary chicken hepatocytes. Collectively, our data demonstrated that AMP-activated protein kinase acts as a potential target for the prevention of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome occurrence in laying hens.
