Evaluation of cerebral acetate transport and metabolic rates in the rat brain in vivo using 1H-[13C]-NMR.

ABSTRACT: Acetate is a well-known astrocyte-specific substrate that has been used extensively to probe astrocytic function in vitro and in vivo. Analysis of amino acid turnover curves from (13)C-acetate has been limited mainly for estimation of first-order rate constants from exponential fitting or calculation of relative rates from steady-state (13)C enrichments. In this study, we used (1)H-[(13)C]-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy with intravenous infusion of [2-(13)C]acetate-Na(+) in vivo to measure the cerebral kinetics of acetate transport and utilization in anesthetized rats. Kinetics were assessed using a two-compartment (neuron/astrocyte) analysis of the (13)C turnover curves of glutamate-C4 and glutamine-C4 from [2-(13)C]acetate-Na(+), brain acetate levels, and the dependence of steady-state glutamine-C4 enrichment on blood acetate levels. The steady-state enrichment of glutamine-C4 increased with blood acetate concentration until 90% of plateau for plasma acetate of 4 to 5 mmol/L. Analysis assuming reversible, symmetric Michaelis-Menten kinetics for transport yielded 27+/-2 mmol/L and 1.3+/-0.3 micromol/g/min for K(t) and T(max), respectively, and for utilization, 0.17+/-0.24 mmol/L and 0.14+/-0.02 micromol/g/min for K(M_util) and V(max_util), respectively. The distribution space for acetate was only 0.32+/-0.12 mL/g, indicative of a large excluded volume. The astrocytic and neuronal tricarboxylic acid cycle fluxes were 0.37+/-0.03 micromol/g/min and 1.41+/-0.11 micromol/g/min, respectively; astrocytes thus comprised approximately 21%+/-3% of total oxidative metabolism.

Assessment of metabolic fluxes in the mouse brain in vivo using 1H-[13C] NMR spectroscopy at 14.1 Tesla.

Project description:(13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) combined with the administration of (13)C labeled substrates uniquely allows to measure metabolic fluxes in vivo in the brain of humans and rats. The extension to mouse models may provide exclusive prospect for the investigation of models of human diseases. In the present study, the short-echo-time (TE) full-sensitivity (1)H-[(13)C] MRS sequence combined with high magnetic field (14.1 T) and infusion of [U-(13)C6] glucose was used to enhance the experimental sensitivity in vivo in the mouse brain and the (13)C turnover curves of glutamate C4, glutamine C4, glutamate+glutamine C3, aspartate C2, lactate C3, alanine C3, γ-aminobutyric acid C2, C3 and C4 were obtained. A one-compartment model was used to fit (13)C turnover curves and resulted in values of metabolic fluxes including the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux VTCA (1.05 ± 0.04 μmol/g per minute), the exchange flux between 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate Vx (0.48 ± 0.02 μmol/g per minute), the glutamate-glutamine exchange rate V(gln) (0.20 ± 0.02 μmol/g per minute), the pyruvate dilution factor K(dil) (0.82 ± 0.01), and the ratio for the lactate conversion rate and the alanine conversion rate V(Lac)/V(Ala) (10 ± 2). This study opens the prospect of studying transgenic mouse models of brain pathologies.

Metabolism of [3-13C]pyruvate and [3-13C]propionate in normal and ischaemic rat heart in vivo: 1H- and 13C-NMR studies.

Project description:The oxidation of [3-13C]pyruvate and [3-13C]propionate was studied in vivo in infused rats. The infused [3-13C]pyruvate was quickly converted to [3-13C]lactate in the blood, and the [3-13C]lactate formed was well metabolized in both normoxic and ischaemic hearts. Large differences (200-600%) in the 13C enrichment of alanine (C-3) and acetyl-CoA (C-2) compared with lactate (C-3) were found in both normoxic and ischaemic hearts, suggesting that the extracellular [3-13C]lactate preferentially entered a region of the cytoplasm which specifically transfers the labelled pyruvate (formed from [3-13C]lactate) to the mitochondria. The highly enriched mitochondrial pyruvate gave high enrichment in alanine and acetyl-CoA, which was detected by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Ischaemia increased 13C incorporation into the main cytoplasmic lactate pool and decreased 13C incorporation into citric acid cycle intermediates, mainly decreasing the pyruvate anaplerosis. Isoprenaline-induced ischaemia of the heart caused only a slight decrease in pyruvate oxidation. In contrast to the decreased anaplerosis of pyruvate, the anaplerosis of propionate (and propionyl-carnitine) increased significantly in ischaemic hearts, which may contribute to the protective effect of propionyl-carnitine seen in ischaemia. In addition, we found that [3-13C]propionate preferentially labelled aspartate C-3 in rat heart, suggesting incomplete randomization of label in the succinyl-CoA-malate span of the citric acid cycle. These data show that proton observed 13C edited spectroscopic methods, i.e. heteronuclear spin-echo and the one-dimensional heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence sequence, can be successfully used to study heart metabolism in vivo.

Metabolic Changes in Synaptosomes in an Animal Model of Schizophrenia Revealed by 1H and 1H,13C NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Synaptosomes are isolated nerve terminals that contain synaptic components, including neurotransmitters, metabolites, adhesion/fusion proteins, and nerve terminal receptors. The essential role of synaptosomes in neurotransmission has stimulated keen interest in understanding both their proteomic and metabolic composition. Mass spectrometric (MS) quantification of synaptosomes has illuminated their proteomic composition, but the determination of the metabolic composition by MS has been met with limited success. In this study, we report a proof-of-concept application of one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for analyzing the metabolic composition of synaptosomes. We utilize this approach to compare the metabolic composition synaptosomes from a wild-type rat with that from a newly generated genetic rat model (Disc1 svΔ2), which qualitatively recapitulates clinically observed early DISC1 truncations associated with schizophrenia. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using NMR spectroscopy to identify and quantify metabolites within synaptosomal fractions.

The ratio of acetate-to-glucose oxidation in astrocytes from a single 13C NMR spectrum of cerebral cortex.

Project description:The (13) C-labeling patterns in glutamate and glutamine from brain tissue are quite different after infusion of a mixture of (13) C-enriched glucose and acetate. Two processes contribute to this observation, oxidation of acetate by astrocytes but not neurons, and preferential incorporation of ?-ketoglutarate into glutamate in neurons, and incorporation of ?-ketoglutarate into glutamine in astrocytes. The acetate:glucose ratio, introduced previously for analysis of a single (13) C NMR spectrum, provides a useful index of acetate and glucose oxidation in the brain tissue. However, quantitation of relative substrate oxidation at the cell compartment level has not been reported. A simple mathematical method is presented to quantify the ratio of acetate-to-glucose oxidation in astrocytes, based on the standard assumption that neurons do not oxidize acetate. Mice were infused with [1,2-(13) C]acetate and [1,6-(13) C]glucose, and proton decoupled (13) C NMR spectra of cortex extracts were acquired. A fit of those spectra to the model indicated that (13) C-labeled acetate and glucose contributed approximately equally to acetyl-CoA (0.96) in astrocytes. As this method relies on a single (13) C NMR spectrum, it can be readily applied to multiple physiologic and pathologic conditions. Differences in (13) C labeling of brain glutamate and glutamine have been attributed to metabolic compartmentation. The acetate:glucose ratio, introduced for description of a (13) C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrum, is an index of glucose and acetate oxidation in brain tissue. A simple mathematical method is presented to quantify the ratio of acetate-to-glucose oxidation in astrocytes from a single NMR spectrum. As kinetic analysis is not required, the method is readily applicable to analysis of tissue extracts. ?-KG = alpha-ketoglutarate; CAC = citric acid cycle; GLN = glutamine; GLU = glutamate.

Project description:A new impurity was detected during high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of eslicarbazepine acetate active pharmaceutical ingredient. The structure of unknown impurity was postulated based on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization and ion trap analyzer (LC/ESI-IT/MS) analysis. Proposed structure of impurity was unambiguously confirmed by synthesis followed by characterization using 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Based on the spectroscopic and spectrometric data, unknown impurity was characterized as 5-carbamoyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepin-10-yl propionate.

State of the art direct 13C and indirect 1H-[13C] NMR spectroscopy in vivo. A practical guide.

Project description:Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy in combination with (13)C-labeled substrate infusion is a powerful technique for measuring a large number of metabolic fluxes noninvasively in vivo. It has been used to quantify glycogen synthesis rates, establish quantitative relationships between energy metabolism and neurotransmission, and evaluate the importance of different substrates. Measurements can, in principle, be performed through direct (13)C NMR detection or via indirect (1)H-[(13)C] NMR detection of the protons attached to (13)C nuclei. The choice of detection scheme and pulse sequence depends on the magnetic field strength, whereas substrate selection depends on metabolic pathways. (13)C NMR spectroscopy remains a challenging technique that requires several nonstandard hardware modifications, infusion of (13)C-labeled substrates, and sophisticated processing and metabolic modeling. In this study, the various aspects of direct (13)C and indirect (1)H-[(13)C] NMR are reviewed with the aim of providing a practical guide.

Intramolecular 1H-13C distance measurement in uniformly 13C, 15N labeled peptides by solid-state NMR.

Project description:A (1)H-(13)C frequency-selective REDOR (FS-REDOR) experiment is developed for measuring intramolecular (1)H-(13)C distances in uniformly (13)C, (15)N-labeled molecules. Theory and simulations show that the experiment removes the interfering homonuclear (1)H-(1)H, (13)C-(13)C and heteronuclear (1)H-(15)N, (13)C-(15)N dipolar interactions while retaining the desired heteronuclear (1)H-(13)C dipolar interaction. Our results indicate that this technique, combined with the numerical fitting, can be used to measure a (1)H-(13)C distance up to 5Å. We also demonstrate that the measured intramolecular (1)H-(13)C distances are useful to determine dihedral angles in proteins.

Hyperpolarized [1-13C]-acetate Renal Metabolic Clearance Rate Mapping.

Project description:11C-acetate is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer of oxidative metabolism, whereas hyperpolarized 13C-acetate can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for investigating specific metabolic processes. The aims of this study were to examine if the kinetic formalism of 11C-acetate PET in the kidneys is comparable to that of 13C-acetate MRI, and to compare the dynamic metabolic information of hyperpolarized 13C-acetate MRI with that obtained with 11C-acetate PET. Rats were examined with dynamic hyperpolarized 13C-acetate MRI or 11C-acetate PET before and after intravenous injection of furosemide, a loop diuretic known to alter both the hemodynamics and oxygen consumption in the kidney. The metabolic clearance rates (MCR) were estimated and compared between the two modalities experimentally in vivo and in simulations. There was a clear dependency on the mean transit time and MCR for both 13C-acetate and 11C-acetate following furosemide administration, while no dependencies on the apparent renal perfusion were observed. This study demonstrated that hyperpolarized 13C-acetate MRI is feasible for measurements of the intrarenal energetic demand via the MCR, and that the quantitative measures are correlated with those measured by 11C-acetate PET, even though the temporal window is more than 30 times longer with 11C-acetate.

High-Throughput Indirect Quantitation of 13C Enriched Metabolites Using 1H NMR.

Project description:Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is widely used in metabolomics to perform quantitative profiling of low-molecular weight compounds from biological specimens. The measurement of endogenous metabolites using NMR has proven to be a powerful tool to identify new metabolic biomarkers in physiological and pathological conditions, and to study and evaluate treatment efficiency. In this study we present a rapid approach to indirectly quantify 13C enriched molecules using one-dimensional (1D) 1H NMR. We demonstrate this approach using isotopically labeled [1,6-13C]glucose and in four different cell lines. We confirm the applicability of this approach for treatment follow-up, utilizing a renal cancer cell line with rapamycin as a tool compound to study changes in metabolic profiles. Finally, we validate the applicability of this method to study metabolic biomarkers from ex vivo tumor extracts, after infusion, using isotopically enriched glucose. Given the high throughput and increased sensitivity of direct-detect 1H NMR, this analytical approach provides an avenue for simple and rapid metabolic analysis of biological samples including blood, urine, and biopsies.
