Branched-chain alpha-ketoacids are preferentially reaminated and activate protein synthesis in the rat heart

ABSTRACT: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their cognate α-ketoacids (BCKA) are elevated in an array of cardiometabolic diseases. Here we demonstrate that the major metabolic fate of uniformly-13C-labeled α-ketoisovalerate ([U-13C]KIV) in the heart is reamination to valine. Activation of cardiac branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) by treatment with the BCKDH kinase inhibitor, BT2, does not impede the strong flux of [U-13C]KIV to valine.

Branched-chain alpha-ketoacids are preferentially reaminated and activate protein synthesis in the mouse heart

Project description:Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their cognate α-ketoacids (BCKA) are elevated in an array of cardiometabolic diseases. Here we demonstrate that sequestration of BCAA and BCKA away from mitochondrial oxidation is likely due to low levels of expression of the mitochondrial BCAA transporter SLC25A44 in the heart, as its overexpression significantly lowers accumulation of [13C]-labeled valine from [U-13C]KIV.

Reprograming of Proteasomal Degradation by Branched Chain Amino Acid Metabolism

Project description:Branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism is a central hub for energy production and regulation of numerous physiological processes. Controversially, both increased and decreased levels of BCAAs are associated with longevity. Using genetics and multi‐omics analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified adaptive regulation of the ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) in response to defective BCAA catabolic reactions after the initial transamination step. Worms with impaired BCAA metabolism show a slower turnover of a GFP‐based proteasome substrate, which is suppressed by loss‐of‐function of the first BCAA catabolic enzyme, the branched‐chain aminotransferase BCAT‐1. The exogenous supply of BCAA‐derived carboxylic acids, which are known to accumulate in the body fluid of patients with BCAA metabolic disorders, is sufficient to regulate the UPS. The link between BCAA intermediates and UPS function presented here sheds light on the unexplained role of BCAAs in the aging process and opens future possibilities for therapeutic interventions.

Excessive Branched Chain Amino Acid Accumulation Creates an Unfavourable Myocardial Milieu that Inhibits the Cardioprotective Effects of Implanted Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Ischemic Heart Injury [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) causes cardiac metabolic reprogramming and results in robust changes in intramyocardial metabolite composition, but little is known about how these metabolic changes influence the fate of implanted stem cells. We found that excessive branched chain amino acid (BCAA) accumulation, a metabolic signature of the post-infarcted heart, created an unfavorable milieu inhibiting the retention and cardioprotection of intramyocardially-delivered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). BCAA at pathological levels sensitized MSCs to the acquisition of a injured phenotype by suppressing the histone H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) modification. Furthermore, a novel mTORC1/DUX4/KDM4E axis was identified as the cause of the H3K9me3 loss and adverse phenotype acquisition induced by BCAA. Enhancing BCAA catabolism in MSCs via genetic or pharmacological approaches improved their adaptation to the extracellular BCAA milieu and strengthened their cardioprotective efficacy. These findings reveal a critical role of myocardial metabolic reprogramming in regulating the fate and cardioprotection of implanted MSCs after MI.

Reprograming of Proteasomal Degradation by Branched Chain Amino Acid Metabolism

Project description:Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) play an important role in energy and protein regulation. Defects in BCAA metabolism are linked to numerous pathologies, including diabetes, neurodegeneration, and premature aging. Isovaleric acidemia is a metabolic disease caused by defective leucine breakdown and an abnormal accumulation of isovaleric acid in the body fluids; however, the cytotoxic effects caused by excess isovaleric acid remained unclear. Here, we provide a regulatory connection between BCAA metabolism and the ubiquitin/proteasome-system (UPS) in Caenorhabditis elegans. Multi-omic analysis identified that worms lacking the isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase IVD-1 exhibit reduced expression of regulatory proteasome subunits and defects in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. Conversely, proteasomal protein degradation was supported by the branched chain amino transferase BCAT-1. Adding extra isovaleric acid to the growth medium triggered UPS defects, implying a causative role of perturbed proteostasis in isovaleric academia.

Drosophila miR-277 controls branched-chain amino acid catabolism and affects lifespan

Project description:Development, growth and adult survival are coordinated with available metabolic resources. The insulin/IGF and TOR signaling pathways relay nutritional status, thereby ascertaining that the organism responds appropriately to environmental conditions. MicroRNAs are short (21-23 nt) regulatory RNAs that confer specificity on the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to inhibit a given set of mRNA targets. We profiled changes in miRNA expression during adult life in Drosophila melanogaster and determined that miR-277 is down-regulated with age. This miRNA controls branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism and the activity of the TOR kinase, a central growth regulator. Metabolite analysis suggests that the mechanistic basis may be an accumulation of BCKAs, rather than BCAAs, thus avoiding potentially detrimental consequences of increased branched chain amino acid levels on e.g. translational fidelity. Constitutive miR-277 expression as well as transgenic inhibition with a miRNA sponge construct shortens lifespan. Furthermore, constitutive miR-277 expression is synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling. Thus, optimal metabolic adaptation requires tuning of cellular BCAA catabolism by miR-277 to be concordant with systemic growth signaling.

Obese Skeletal Muscle-Expressed Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 Transcriptionally Regulates Mitochondrial Branched-Chain Aminotransferase Reprogramming Metabolome

Project description:It is well established that obese animals and humans show deficiencies in skeletal muscle content and metabolism. However, the mechanisms under how skeletal muscle metabolism affects systemic energy homeostasis is not well-defined. Here, we compared the skeletal muscle transcriptome from obese and lean controls in different species. We found an immune-responsive transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) was conserved to be increased in obese subjects from the three species (humans, non-human primates and mice). Thus, we demonstrated that loss of IRF4 specifically in skeletal muscle of mice showed protection against the metabolic effects of high-fat diet, with unexpected increased plasma and muscle branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels. Conversely, overexpression of skeletal muscle IRF4 caused obesity and insulin resistance, with decreased BCAA contents. Mechanistically, IRF4 can transcriptionally regulate branched-chain aminotransferase isozyme (BCATm) expression, and that overexpression of BCATm can reverse the effects of IRF4 depletion regarding to metabolic phenotypes. Further, we demonstrated ablation of IRF4 in skeletal muscle increased mitochondrial activity and glycogen synthesis in a BCATm- dependent manner. These studies establish IRF4 as a novel driver of BCAA metabolism via BCATm in skeletal muscle and may interpret the BCAAs paradox in obesity.

Defective Branched-Chain Amino Acid Catabolism in Dorsal Root Ganglia Contributes to Mechanical Pain

Project description:Impaired branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism has recently been implicated in the development of mechanical pain, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here we report that defective BCAA catabolism in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons sensitizes mice to mechanical pain by increasing lactate production and expression of the mechanotransduction channel Piezo2. In high-fat diet-fed obese mice, we observe downregulation of PP2Cm, a key regulator of the BCAA catabolic pathway, in DRG neurons. Mice with conditional knockout of PP2Cm in DRG neurons exhibit mechanical allodynia under normal or SNI-induced neuropathic injury conditions. Furthermore, the VAS scores in the plasma of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain are positively correlated with BCAA contents. Mechanistically, defective BCAA catabolism in DRG neurons promotes lactate production through glycolysis, which increases H3K18la modification and drives Piezo2 expression. Inhibition of lactate production or Piezo2 silencing attenuates the pain phenotype of knockout mice in response to mechanical stimuli. Therefore, our study demonstrates a causal role of defective BCAA catabolism in mechanical pain by enhancing metabolite-mediated epigenetic regulation.

Mutations in BCKD-kinase lead to a potentially treatable form of autism with epilepsy

Project description:Autism is present in 1% of the population, yet treatments are extremely limited. We identified homozygous inactivating mutations in the BCKDK gene in families presenting with autism and epilepsy. The encoded branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase protein is responsible for phosphorylation-mediated inactivation of the E1-alpha subunit of branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase, itself mutated in Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). Patients with homozygous BCKDK mutations display reductions in BCKDK mRNA and protein, E1-alpha phosphorylation and serum branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Bckdk knockout mice show abnormal brain amino acids profiles and neurobehavioral defects, which are largely corrected by dietary BCAA supplementation. Thus autism presenting with epilepsy due to BCKDK mutations represent a new and potentially treatable disease.
