Aminooxyacetic acid, often abbreviated AOA or AOAA, is a compound that inhibits 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (GABA-T) activity in vitro and in vivo, leading to less gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) being broken down. Subsequently, the level of GABA is increased in tissues. At concentrations high enough to fully inhibit 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase activity, aminooxyacetic acid is indicated as a useful tool to study regional GABA turnover in rats. Aminooxyacetic acid is a general inhibitor of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes (this includes GABA-T). It functions as an inhibitor by attacking the Schiff base linkage between PLP and the enzyme, forming oxime type complexes. Aminooxyacetic acid inhibits aspartate aminotransferase, another PLP-dependent enzyme, which is an essential part of the malate-aspartate shuttle. The inhibition of the malate-aspartate shuttle prevents the reoxidation of cytosolic NADH by the mitochondria in nerve terminals. Also in the nerve terminals, ...

Background: H2S is a neuromodulator that may inhibit intestinal motility. H2S production in colon is yielded by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) enzymes and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize intestinal microbiota. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of TLR2 and TLR4 on the endogenous and SRB-mediated synthesis of H2S and its consequences on the colonic motility of mouse. Methods: Muscle contractility studies were performed in colon from WT, Tlr2-/-, and Tlr4-/- mice. The mRNA levels of TLR2, TLR4, CBS, CSE, and SRB were measured by real-time PCR. Free sulfide levels in colon and feces were determined by colorimetric assays. Results: NaHS and GYY4137, donors of H2S, reduced the contractility of colon. Aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), inhibitor of CBS, and D-L propargylglycine (PAG), inhibitor of CSE, increased the contractility of colon. In vivo treatment with NaHS or GYY4137 inhibited the spontaneous contractions and ...

The authors claim in the results section of the abstract that probenecid diminished (P , 0.05) compound A-induced glucosuria. Figure 3, however, shows that there was no statistical significance assigned to this effect. The authors state that aminooxyacetic acid decreased compound A-dependent proteinuria and glucosuria; yet Figure 4shows that these decreases were not statistically significant, a further finding that is not consistent with compound A-induced nephrotoxicity being mediated by the renal cysteine conjugate [small beta, Greek]-lyase pathway of metabolism. Moreover, the authors purport that aminobenzotriazole had no consistent effect on the nephrotoxicity of compound A, which seems to suggest that the cytochrome P450 metabolism of compound A or its metabolites, or both, does not have a role in compound A-induced nephrotoxicity. Nevertheless, the manuscript actually shows that the preadministration of this cytochrome P450 inhibitor significantly decreased the histologic necrosis ...

1. Rat kidney-cortex slices incubated with d-malate alone formed very little glucose. d-Malate, however, augmented gluconeogenesis from l-lactate and inhibited gluconeogenesis from pyruvate and l-malate. 2. d-Malate had little effect on the rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle with or without other substrates added. 3. d-Malate inhibited the activity of the l-malate dehydrogenase in a high-speed-supernatant fraction from kidney cortex. 4. It was concluded that d-malate inhibited either the operation of the cytoplasmic l-malate dehydrogenase or malate outflow from the mitochondria in the intact kidney-cortex cell. This supports the hypothesis of Lardy, Paetkau & Walter (1965) and Krebs, Gascoyne & Notton (1967) on the role of malate as carrier for carbon and reducing equivalents in gluconeogenesis. 5. Gluconeogenesis from l-lactate in kidney-cortex slices was strongly inhibited by a low concentration (0.1mm) of amino-oxyacetate, whereas glucose formation from pyruvate, malate, aspartate and ...

Purpose: Glutamine addiction in c-MYC-overexpressing breast cancer is targeted by the aminotransferase inhibitor, aminooxyacetate (AOA). However, the mechanism of ensuing cell death remains unresolved.. Experimental Design: A correlation between glutamine dependence for growth and c-MYC expression was studied in breast cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic effects of AOA, its correlation with high c-MYC expression, and effects on enzymes in the glutaminolytic pathway were investigated. AOA-induced cell death was assessed by measuring changes in metabolite levels by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), the effects of amino acid depletion on nucleotide synthesis by cell-cycle and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) uptake analysis, and activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated pathway. Antitumor effects of AOA with or without common chemotherapies were determined in breast cancer xenografts in immunodeficient mice and in a transgenic MMTV-rTtA-TetO-myc mouse mammary tumor model.. Results: ...

The oxidation of L-glutamate and L-glutamine by enterocyte mitochondria was supported by malate. The stimulation of the rate of oxidation of the two amino acids by small amounts of added malate was 93% and 76% respectively. This could not be accounted for by the oxidation of the small amounts of malate added. Amino-oxyacetate added initially inhibited malate-supported oxidation of L-glutamate by 81% and that of L-glutamine by 38%. The inhibition of L-glutamate oxidation was partially reversed by L-glutamine. The dicarboxylate-carrier inhibitor 2-phenylsuccinate inhibited the malate-supported oxidation of both amino acids, but appeared to be slightly stimulatory to L-glutamine oxidation when added initially. The inhibition of L-glutamate oxidation was reversed by L-glutamine. The mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP (carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone) inhibited malate-supported oxidation of L-glutamate by 78% when added initially. The oxidation of L-glutamine was completely inhibited. ...

Similar to AOA treatment, knocking down GOT2 could also effectively inhibit the malate-aspartate shuttle, resulting in a significant increase (by 1.3‐fold; P , 0.01) in the cytosolic NADH level in Panc‐1 cells (Supplementary Fig S8A). Concomitantly, GOT2 knockdown led to a substantial reduction in the mitochondrial NADH level (by 33%; P , 0.01) (Supplementary Fig S8B), affirming the vital role of GOT2 in controlling the net transfer of cytosolic NADH into mitochondria. As a result, GOT2 knockdown significantly reduced ATP production (by 26%; P , 0.01) in Panc‐1 cells (Supplementary Fig S8C). Moreover, in these stable Panc‐1 cells with GOT2 knockdown, we found that re‐expression of acetylation‐mimetic 3KQ mutant GOT2 led to a significant (P , 0.05) reduction in the cytosolic NADH level as compared to wild‐type‐rescued cells when treated without or with glucose (i.e., 0 and 12 mM glucose) (Fig 4B). Meanwhile, 3KQ mutant GOT2‐rescued cells displayed a significant (P , 0.05 or P , ...

The European Space Agencys Envisat satellite, which bounces radar waves off the Yellowstone calderas floor, another way to measure elevation change.. The measurements showed that from mid-2004 through 2006, the Yellowstone caldera floor rose as fast as 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) per year - and by a total of 7 inches (18 centimeters) during the 30-month period, Chang says.. The uplift is still going on today but at a little slower rate, says Smith, adding there is no way to know when it will stop.. Smith says the fastest rate of uplift previously observed at Yellowstone was about 0.8 inch (2 centimeters) per year between 1976 and 1985. He says that Yellowstones recent upward motion may seem small, but is twice as fast as the average rate of horizontal movement along Californias San Andreas fault.. The current uplift is faster than ever observed at Yellowstone, but may not be the fastest ever, since humans werent around for its three supervolcano eruptions.. Chang, Smith and colleagues ...

0040]FIG. 6 is a flowchart of transmission timing adjustment processing according to the present embodiment. Reception timing detection unit 12 detects the reception timing of a received downlink radio frame (S100). Reception signal demodulation unit 14 demodulates the received signal (S101). If transmission timing information is included in the control signal, reception signal demodulation unit 14 sends the above transmission timing information to transmission timing adjustment unit 15. Transmission timing adjustment unit 15 decides the presence or absence of transmission timing information at each predetermined decision interval (S102). If the transmission timing information is sent, transmission timing adjustment unit 15 adjusts the transmission timing to a specified value included in the transmission timing information (S103). If the transmission timing information is not sent, transmission timing adjustment unit 15 decides whether the handover processing is in progress, based on the ...

Studies on a 27-year-old man with a 3-year history of exercise-induced muscle pain, passage of red urine and elevated serum creatine kinase are described. Histological examination of a biopsy from quadriceps revealed non-specific myopathic changes with occasional clusters of subsarcolemmal mitochondria. The phosphorylase stain was normal. Phosphorous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies of gastrocnemius and flexor digitorum superficialis muscles showed no abnormalities at rest. During aerobic exercise there was an abnormally rapid decrease in phosphocreatine concentration but the pH remained within the normal range. There was a build-up of phosphomonoester (probably glucose 6-phosphate), usually indicative of a block in glycolysis. However, a primary defect in the glycolytic pathway seemed unlikely because muscle acidified normally during ischaemic exercise. Recovery from exercise was unusual in that phosphocreatine resynthesis and inorganic phosphate disappearance followed similar

Incretins, hormones released by the stomach after meal ingestion, are essential for maintaining systemic glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion. 1988; Porte, 1991) and is usually a target for its treatment. According to the consensus model of TBC-11251 glucose-induced insulin secretion (GIIS), GIIS depends on a series of cautiously orchestrated cell responses: mitochondrially generated ATP results in closure of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, which in change causes membrane depolarization, electrical activity, and opening of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs), with the resultant elevation of [Ca2+]i initiating Ca2+-induced insulin granule exocytosis (Henquin, 2000). Thus, ATP produced by glucose metabolism is usually a crucial transmission in GIIS. Pancreatic cells are equipped with two highly active NADH shuttles linked to glycolysis: the malate-aspartate shuttle and the glycerol phosphate shuttle, both of which contribute to ATP production. Whereas inhibition of either one ...

The extremely halophilic archaeon Natrialba aegyptiaca secretes the L-homo type of poly-g-glutamate (PGA) as an extremolyte. We examined the enzymes involved in glutamate metabolism and verified the presence of L-glutamate dehydrogenases, L-aspartate aminotransferase, and L-glutamate synthase. However, neither glutamate racemase nor D-amino acid aminotransferase activity was detected, suggesting the absence of sources of D-glutamate. In contrast, D-glutamate-rich PGA producers mostly possess such intracellular sources of D-glutamate. The results of our present study indicate that the D-glutamate-anabolic enzyme

Glutamine and glutamate are known to play important roles in cancer biology. However, no detailed information is available in terms of their levels of involvement in various biological processes across different cancer types, whereas such knowledge could be critical for understanding the distinct characteristics of different cancer types. Our computational study aimed to examine the functional roles of glutamine and glutamate across different cancer types. We conducted a comparative analysis of gene expression data of cancer tissues versus normal control tissues of 11 cancer types to understand glutamine and glutamate metabolisms in cancer. Specifically, we developed a linear regression model to assess differential contributions by glutamine and/or glutamate to each of seven biological processes in cancer versus control tissues. While our computational predictions were consistent with some of the previous observations, multiple novel predictions were made: (1) glutamine is generally not involved in
