R.. AU - Wilmore, D. W.. PY - 1990. Y1 - 1990. N2 - To determine the safety of glutamine-enriched parenteral nutrition, seven normal volunteers were admitted to the Clinical Research Center for three 5-d study periods. The subjects received infusions of parenteral nutrients containing increasing doses of glutamine (0, 0.285, and 0.570 g·kg body wt-1·d-1) substituted for alanine and glycine. Each study period was preceded by ≥ 2 wk of normal food intake. The diets were isocaloric (1.2X estimated basal metabolic rate) and isonitrogenous (1.5 g protein·kg-1·d-1) with nonprotein calories given as dextrose (38%) and fat emulsion (62%). The diets were all well tolerated and there were no untoward effects. Plasma glutamine concentrations increased significantly with glutamine administration but ...

Although GLS2 was originally thought to be present only in adult liver tissue (28), emerging evidence has revealed that GLS2 expression also occurs in extrahepatic tissues, such as brain, pancreas, and breast cancer cells, as well as many other cell types (29). GLS2 localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane to catalyze the hydrolysis of the γ-amino group of GLN forming glutamate and ammonia (27). This ammonia may be used to form carbamoyl phosphate or may diffuse from the mitochondria and the cell. Glutamate can be further deaminated to form α-ketoglutarate and thus enter the citric acid cycle for energy metabolism. Glutamate also preserves total GSH levels after oxidative stress (22, 30). Our data indicate that p53-inducible GLS2 regulates intracellular glutamine metabolism and ROS levels and promotes antioxidant defense through controlling the GSH/GSSG ratio, although we do not exclude the additional possibility that regeneration of GSH from GSSG is increased by GLS2 expression.. The ...

Glutamine transport was studied in submitochondrial particles (SMP) to avoid interference from glutamine metabolism. Phosphate-dependent glutaminase activity in SMP was only 0.04% of that in intact mitochondria. The uptake of glutamine in SMP represented both the transport into vesicles and membrane binding (about one-third of total uptake). Sulfhydryl reagents inhibited glutamine uptake in SMP. The uptake of L-[3H]glutamine increased more than twofold in SMP preloaded with 1 mM L-glutamine, an effect that was not seen with 1 mM D-glutamine. The uptake of L-[3H]glutamine was inhibited in the presence of either L-glutamine or L-alanine in the incubation medium. Other amino acids did not inhibit glutamine uptake. Alanine was also shown to trans-stimulate glutamine transport in SMP and cis-inhibit glutamine transport in both SMP and intact mitochondria. Glutamine transport showed a positive cooperativity effect with a Hill coefficient of 1.45. Metabolic acidosis increased the affinity of the ...

CB-839 an is orally bioavailable inhibitor of glutaminase, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, CB-839 selectively and irreversibly inhibits glutaminase, a mitochondrial enzyme that is essential for the conversion of the amino acid glutamine into glutamate. By blocking glutamine utilization, proliferation in rapidly growing cells is impaired. Glutamine-dependent tumors rely on the conversion of exogenous glutamine into glutamate and glutamate metabolites to both provide energy and generate building blocks for the production of macromolecules, which are needed for cellular growth and survival.

Trauma Patients are characterized by alteration in the immune response, increased exposure to infectious complications, sepsis, and consequently organ failure and death. Glutamine supplementation to parenteral nutrition is one of the nutritional interventions that have been proven to be associated with improved survival rate, decreased infectious morbidity, costs, intensive care unit, and hospital length of stay. However, glutamine supplementation in patients receiving enteral nutrition and its best route are still controversial. A number of trials investigated the beneficial effects of intravenous alanyl-glutamine supplementation in critically ill patients receiving enteral nutrition. However, these trials were: pilot trials, investigated surrogate outcomes, or supplementation was for a short period of time. Therefore, a well designed trial is needed to investigate the effect of intravenous alanyl-glutamine supplementation in critically ill patients with multiple trauma receiving enteral ...

Who doesnt hate getting sick? Due to the effect intense training has on the immune system, elite athletes tend to get sick more often. Did you know Glutamine supplementation can actually help your compromised immune system? Glutamine refers to an essential amino acid that the body is capable of producing on its own. However, under times of stress such as muscular trauma and illness, stored glutamine levels can drop by as much as 50%. Glutamine is the primary fuel source for the immune system to

Extracellular tumor acidosis largely results from an exacerbated glycolytic flux in cancer and cancer-associated cells. Conversely, little is known about how tumor cells adapt their metabolism to acidosis. Here, we demonstrate that long-term exposure of cancer cells to acidic pH leads to a metabolic reprogramming toward glutamine metabolism. This switch is triggered by the need to reduce the production of protons from glycolysis and further maintained by the NAD(+)-dependent increase in SIRT1 deacetylase activity to ensure intracellular pH homeostasis. A consecutive increase in HIF2α activity promotes the expression of various transporters and enzymes supporting the reductive and oxidative glutamine metabolism, whereas a reduction in functional HIF1α expression consolidates the inhibition of glycolysis. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments document that acidosis accounts for a net increase in tumor sensitivity to inhibitors of SIRT1 and glutaminase GLS1. These findings highlight the ...

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

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is crucial in maintaining intestinal epithelial homeostasis, participates in a vigorous signaling process and heightens inflammatory cytokine output. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of glutamine (GLN) on TLR-4 signaling in intestinal mucosa during methotrexate (MTX)-induced mucositis in a rat. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups of 8 rats each: 1) control rats; 2) CONTR-GLN animals were treated with oral glutamine given in drinking water (2%) 48 hours before and 72 hours following vehicle injection; 3) MTX-rats were treated with a single IP injection of MTX (20 mg/kg); and 4) MTX-GLN rats were pre-treated with oral glutamine similar to group B, 48 hours before and 72 hours after MTX injection. Intestinal mucosal damage, mucosal structural changes, enterocyte proliferation and enterocyte apoptosis were determined 72 hours following MTX injection. The expression of TLR-4, MyD88 and TRAF6 in the intestinal

Esophagitis is a common and distressing side effect of chemo-radiation (radiation concurrent with chemotherapy) for lung cancer. Esophagitis can make swallowing so painful that patients stop eating, lose weight, get surgically-placed feeding tubes, start liquid diets, get depressed, and spiral downward in terms of vitality and hope. An important clinical pearl for chemo-radiation is that it is essential to prioritize supplements and be prepared to switch to powdered or liquid forms if needed.. By searching KNOW for side effect and esophagitis, we discover 3 small but pertinent studies. One of these is an observational study on oral glutamine. It reports that people with stage III NSCLC who took oral glutamine (10 g TID) during their chemo-radiotherapy had less weight loss and less severe inflammation of the esophagus compared to those who did not take glutamine.7 Glutamine supplementation also improved disease-free survival and showed a trend toward better overall survival (p=.05). In another ...

OBJECTIVE: The effect of zinc and glutamine on brain development was investigated during the lactation period in Swiss mice. METHODS: Malnutrition was induced by clustering the litter size from 6-7 pups/dam (nourished control) to 12-14 pups/dam (undernourished control) following birth. Undernourished groups received daily supplementation with glutamine by subcutaneous injections starting at day 2 and continuing until day 14. Glutamine (100 mM, 40-80 microL) was used for morphological and behavioral studies. Zinc acetate was added in the drinking water (500 mg/L) to the lactating dams. Synaptophysin and myelin basic protein brain expressions were evaluated by immunoblot. Zinc serum and brain levels and hippocampal neurotransmitters were also evaluated. RESULTS: Zinc with or without glutamine improved weight gain as compared to untreated, undernourished controls. In addition, zinc supplementation improved cliff avoidance and head position during swim behaviors especially on days 9 and 10. Using ...

Cancer cells require nutrients and energy to adapt to increased biosynthetic activity, and protein synthesis inhibition downstream of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) has shown promise as a possible therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Glutamine contributes to leucine import into cells, which controls the amino acid/Rag/mTORC1 signaling pathway. We show in our current study that glutamine removal inhibits mTORC1 and induces apoptosis in AML cells. The knockdown of the SLC1A5 high-affinity transporter for glutamine induces apoptosis and inhibits tumor formation in a mouse AML xenotransplantation model. l-asparaginase (l-ase) is an anticancer agent also harboring glutaminase activity. We show that l-ases from both Escherichia coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi profoundly inhibit mTORC1 and protein synthesis and that this inhibition correlates with their glutaminase activity levels and produces a strong apoptotic response in primary AML cells. We further show that l-ases upregulate

These data suggest that (1) glutamine content can be estimated from gene sequencing methods and (2) there is a reasonably wide variation in energy-adjusted glutamine intake, allowing for exploration of glutamine consumption and disease.

Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances Glutamine may be considered a conditionally essential amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system hymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.

As a consequence of a reprogrammed metabolism, cancer cells are dependent on the amino acid l-glutamine for their survival, a phenomenon that currently forms the basis for the generation of new, cancer-specific therapies. In this paper, we report on the role which ammonium ions, a product of glutaminolysis, play on the survival of l-glutamine-deprived Sp2/0-Ag14 mouse hybridoma cells. The supplementation of l-glutamine-starved Sp2/0-Ag14 cell cultures with either ammonium acetate or ammonium chloride resulted in a significant increase in viability. This effect did not depend on the ability of cells to synthesize l-glutamine, and was not affected by the co-supplementation with α-ketoglutarate. When we examined the effect of ammonium acetate and ammonium chloride on the induction of apoptosis by glutamine deprivation, we found that ammonium salts did not prevent caspase-3 activation or cytochrome c leakage, indicating that they did not act by modulating core apoptotic processes. However, both ammonium

IN THIS FINAL REPORT ARE DESCRIBED THE MAIN RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS CARRIED OUT SINCE 1951. The investigations dealt with the metabolism of the dicarboxylic amino acids, glutamic and aspartic acids, and some of their metabolic derivatives, such as glutamine, asparagine, glutathione, and other peptides. Since various glutamic acid derivatives have been claimed to be breakdown products of histidine metabolism the enzymatic degradation of histidine was studied and a labile intermediate isolated and identified. The identification of formamidinoglutaric acid as a labile intermediate in enzymatic histidine breakdown led to an elucidation of the catabolic pathway of histidine and to a study of the mechanism of synthesis of histidine in bacteria. Another aspect of interest in glutamic acid metabolism led to the discovery of two enzymes which catalyze the exchange of the amide groups of free glutamine (glutamotransferase) and of protein bound glutamine (transglutaminase). Parallel with these studies,

Synthesis As previously stated, glutamine is a nonessential amino acid. In the body, glutamine is synthesized from glutamate via the enzyme glutamine synthestase (GS) and through the addition of ATP and ammonia. (See Figure). Glutamate + ATP + NH3 → Glutamine + ADP + phosphate + H20 The incorporation of ammonia into glutamate is an amidation type reaction and the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP drives the reaction forward. ATP is directly involved in the reaction because it phosphorylates the carboxyl group on the side chain of glutamate and forms an acyl-phosphate intermediate (See Figure: Glutamine Final). The acyl-phoshphate intermediate reacts with free ammonia and forms glutamine. Glutamine synthetase (GS) plays a major role because a high-affinity binding-site for ammonia is formed in GS after the formation of the intermediate to prevent hydrolysis of the intermediate. Hydrolysis of the intermediate would not yield glutamine and thus waste a valuable molecule of ATP. Functions Glutamine is a ...

Glutamate and GABA are the quantitatively major neurotransmitters in the brain mediating excitatory and inhibitory signaling, respectively. These amino acids are metabolically interrelated and at the same time they are tightly coupled to the intermediary metabolism including energy homeostasis. Astrocytes play a pivotal role in the maintenance of the neurotransmitter pools of glutamate and GABA since only these cells express pyruvate carboxylase, the enzyme required for de novo synthesis of the two amino acids. Such de novo synthesis is obligatory to compensate for catabolism of glutamate and GABA related to oxidative metabolism when the amino acids are used as energy substrates. This, in turn, is influenced by the extent to which the cycling of the amino acids between neurons and astrocytes may occur. This cycling is brought about by the glutamate/GABA - glutamine cycle the operation of which involves the enzymes glutamine synthetase (GS) and phosphate-activated glutaminase together with the plasma

Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine belong to the family of protein building Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). They are among the 9 essential aminos for humans, because our bodies cant manufacture them, so their only source is our daily food or food supplementation..

Considerable insight has been gained on Periplasmic Binding proteins from E.coli as novel candidates to develop sensors for metabolites like glucose, glutamine and lactate. However, these proteins are still used as assays and for them to become sensors and used repeatedly, require immobilization. Additionally, there is not much information on the application of the sensors in combination with innovative sampling technologies. The first part of the research deals with constructing C- terminal Poly histag Glucose/Galactose binding protein and C-terminal Poly histag lactate binding protein and evaluating their sensing properties. Histag serve the purpose of purification and immobilization of these proteins. Secondly, the application of the Glutamine binding protein form E.coli as a potential sensor to measure glutamine in Mammalian cell cultures in High throughput bioreactors has been shown. Sampling has been done by microdialysis which is a fast and reliable technique. These histagged proteins ...

There is growing evidence for GABA and glutamate-glutamine dysfunction in the pathogenesis of mood and anxiety disorders. It is important to study this pathology in the early phases of the illness in order to develop new approaches to secondary prevention. New magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measures allow determining glutamine, the principal metabolite of synaptic glutamate that is directly related to glutamate levels in the synaptic cleft, as well as glutamate and GABA. In contrast to previous investigations, this study used community-based recruitment methods and a combined categorical and dimensional approach to psychopathology. In the study protocol, neuroticism was defined as the primary outcome. Neuroticism shares a large proportion of its genetic variance with mood and anxiety disorders. We examined young adult participants recruited from the general population in a cross-sectional study using 3-T 1H-MRS with one voxel in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream and in the body. It is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid, fulfilling a number of biochemical needs. It operates as a nitrogen shuttle, taking up excess ammonia and forming urea. Ammonia, a by-product of certain normal biochemical reactions in the body (including the brain) is toxic to the human body and thus glutamine serves an important function in helping to convert ammonia into urea, a non toxic end product, which the body can easily eliminate. L-Glutamine can contribute to the production of other amino acids, glucose, nucleotides, protein and glutathione. It is the principal metabolic fuel for the epithelial cells that line the small intestine (enterocytes), and for certain immune cells, namely lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts.1. Glutamine intake has been shown to enhance glutathione stores in conjunction with N-acetylcysteine, which may forestall the progression of HIV infection to AIDS in ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer, which is resistant to the majority of available chemotherapies. We have recently identified significant differences in the levels of membrane lipids and fatty acids between two distinct TNCB metabolic subtypes (MST2 and MST3) (Beatty et al., 2014, manuscript submitted). Fatty acid synthesis has recently been discussed as potential pharmaceutical target.. In order to evaluate whether glucose or glutamine is the preferred carbon source for palmitic acid synthesis, TNBC cell lines (BT549 and HCC1806) were fed with fully labelled glucose and fully labelled glutamine ([U-13C6]glucose and [U-13C5]glutamine) in independent experiments. Fully labelled glutamine allows conclusions on total usage of glutamine via the reductive and the oxidative part of the TCA-cycle. In order to assess the contribution of glutamine to palmitic acid synthesis via the reductive pathway we fed the subtypes with single labelled glutamine [5-13C1]glutamine. ...

The urea cycle is a mechanism of the hepatic detoxification of ammonia, which accumulates within the body as a result of protein metabolism. It also is responsible for de novo synthesis of arginine (Scaglia & Lee, 2006). There are eight known deficiencies in the urea cycle (six enzymes and two transporters) that impair ureagenesis, the most common being ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. (CHECK: some reports said 6 known causesCongenital defects of enzymes within this cycle impair the conversion of ammonia to urea, and result in the accumulation of toxic intermediate metabolites. Inborn genetic defects in the metabolism of ammonia can lead to rapid hyperammonemia, which is characterized by symptoms of unexplained lethargy, headaches, seizures, hypoventilation, vomiting, coma, and psychomotor retardation (Ah Mew et al., 2015). Neurotoxicity can result from a number of mechanisms, such as the accumulation of glutamine (Gln) in astrocytes leading to cellular swelling and cerebral edema (Gropman

Glutamine is an amino acid thats critical in the repair processes of the body. When you have damaged tissue, your body uses glutamine to repair and replace the tissue. Some studies have shown that patients with cancer are frequently deficient in glutamine. They just cant get enough. I find that this is almost always the case. So I routinely supplement my patients with glutamine. It helps them maintain their weight and heal faster. It makes sense that it might aid the body to repair the damage that happens to the mouth and gums during radiation therapy. Researchers at the Department of Radiation Oncology at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan looked at 17 patients who were getting radiation therapy in the head and neck area. They told half of the patients to rinse their mouths four times a day with a solution of glutamine. The solution consisted of 16 grams of glutamine in 240 ml of normal saline. They gave the other half a placebo solution ...

Peritonitis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). Glucose-based PD fluids reduce immunological defenses in the peritoneal cavity. Low concentrations of peritoneal extracellular glutamine during PD may contribute to this immune deficit. For these reasons we have developed a clinical assay to measure the function of the immune-competent cells in PD effluent from PD patients. We then applied this assay to test the impact on peritoneal immune-competence of PD fluid supplementation with alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln) in 6 patients in an open-label, randomized, crossover pilot trial (EudraCT 2012-004004-36), and related the functional results to transcriptome changes in PD effluent cells ...

Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring non-essential amino acid in the body and it can be derived from glutamic acid, another member of the amino acid family. Both glutamine and glutamic acid can be found in protein-rich foods such as red meat, nuts and fish. Different tissues in the body have different requirements for L-Glutamine and the most eager consumers of glutamine are the cells of intestines, whilst muscles are known to be high producers of L-Glutamine.. ...

1. The binding of substrates and effectors to glucosamine synthetase (l-glutamine-d-fructose 6-phosphate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.16) was studied by using the ligand to alter the denaturation rate of the enzyme. The free enzyme bound fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, but not glutamine, AMP or UTP. Glucose 6-phosphate and AMP increased the binding of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine whereas UTP decreased the interaction between the enzyme and the feedback inhibitor. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine induced a glutamine-binding site on the enzyme. 2. Selective thermal or chemical denaturation revealed that the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-binding site was not located at the catalytic site. The UTP site could not be distinguished from that for the nucleotide sugar. The AMP- and glucose 6-phosphate-binding sites were distinct from the catalytic and feedback-inhibitor-binding sites. 3. The specificity of the glutamine-binding site was investigated by using a series of potential ...

L-glutamine is an amino acid that is found in quite large quantities in our bloodstream and our body uses it in large amounts for different purposes. Many body builders and fitness fanatics use it as a powder form in order to have a quick recovery and healthy muscle growth, but some wonder why use it as a supplement when its already found in our system?. Well according to this source, doing one hour of physical activity can reduce your glutamine levels by up to 40 percent. When we work out, we are putting stresses on our body and muscles. By including this amino acid in our diet (or even in supplement form, depending on your level of exercise), you can recover and reduce stress from working out.. Why do people take L-glutamine?.

Besides that, there are additional benefits that arent just about getting puffier biceps.. ...

A novel method is introduced for developing calibration models for the spectroscopic measurement of chemical concentrations in an aqueous environment. To demonstrate this matrix-enhanced calibration procedure, we developed calibration models to quantitate glucose and glutamine concentrations in an insect cell culture medium that is a complex mixture of more than 20 components, with three components that manifest significant concentration changes. Accurate calibration models were generated for glucose and glutamine by using a calibration data set composed of 60 samples containing the analytes dissolved in an aqueous buffer along with as few as two samples of the analytes dissolved in culture medium. Standard errors of prediction were 1.0 mM for glucose and 0.35 mM for glutamine. The matrix-enhanced method was also applied to culture medium samples collected during the course of a second bioreactor run. Addition of three culture medium samples to a buffer calibration reduced glucose prediction errors from

CTP synthase catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of CTP from UTP using either NH3 or l-glutamine as the nitrogen source. GTP is required as an allosteric effector to promote glutamine hydrolysis. In an attempt to identify nucleotide-binding sites, scanning alanine mutagenesis was conducted on a highly conserved region of amino acid sequence (residues 102-118) within the synthase domain of Escherichia coli CTP synthase. Mutant K102A CTP synthase exhibited wild-type activity with respect to NH3 and glutamine; however, the R105A, D107A, L109A and G110A enzymes exhibited wild-type NH3-dependent activity and affinity for glutamine, but impaired glutamine-dependent CTP formation. The E103A, R104A and H118A enzymes exhibited no glutamine-dependent activity and were only partially active with NH3. Although these observations were compatible with impaired activation by GTP, the apparent affinity of the D107A, L109A and G110A enzymes for GTP was reduced only 2-4-fold, suggesting that these residues do ...

The growth and survival of cancer cells is dependent on extracellular glutamine, which is frequently depleted in solid tumors, resulting in the induction of apoptosis. Glutamine has been suggested to maintain cancer cell viability by replenishing intermediates for the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and supporting de novo biosynthesis of nucleotides and nonessential amino acids. Zhang and colleagues sought to characterize the mechanism by which glutamine withdrawal induces apoptosis using a high-throughput RNAi-based screen to identify genes whose loss protected MYC-transformed cells from apoptosis following glutamine withdrawal. Intriguingly, depletion of the TCA cycle enzyme citrate synthase (CS) protected cancer cells from glutamine withdrawal-induced cell death. In the absence of glutamine, knockdown of CS resulted in diminished glycolytic flux through the TCA cycle and redirection of the TCA cycle intermediate oxaloacetate to the synthesis of the nonessential amino acids aspartate and ...

The kidney responds to metabolic acidosis by the increased excretion of the ammonium salts of nonvolatile acids in the urine. It is therefore important to maintain an adequate supply of precursors of urinary ammonia in order to maintain acid-base balance. In this work, arterio-venous differences for all amino acids were measured across the kidneys of normal and acidotic rats to determine which amino acids were important in urinary ammonia production. Glutamine was the only amino acid taken up by the acidotic kidney; no amino acids were removed by the normal kidney. -- These measurements were made using whole blood since amino acid levels in whole blood and plasma were found to differ. Glycine, glutamate, lysine, and arginine were concentrated within the blood cells. In addition, levels of serine, threonine and lysine rose and levels of glutamine fell in acidosis in both whole blood and plasma. Whole blood and plasma arterio-venous differences were measured for glutamine across the acidotic rat ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive primary human brain tumour that has resisted effective therapy for decades. Although glucose and glutamine are the major fuels that drive GBM growth and invasion, few studies have targeted these fuels for therapeutic management. The glutamine antagonist, 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON), was administered together with a calorically restricted ketogenic diet (KD-R) to treat late-stage orthotopic growth in two syngeneic GBM mouse models: VM-M3 and CT-2A. DON targets glutaminolysis, while the KD-R reduces glucose and, simultaneously, elevates neuroprotective and non-fermentable ketone bodies. The diet/drug therapeutic strategy killed tumour cells while reversing disease symptoms, and improving overall mouse survival. The therapeutic strategy also reduces edema, hemorrhage, and inflammation. Moreover, the KD-R diet facilitated DON delivery to the brain and allowed a lower dosage to achieve therapeutic effect. The findings support the importance of glucose and glutamine in

Investigators at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, studied glutaminergic activity and arousal in 28 adults with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and 20 matched controls, using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thalamic glutamate/glutamine/creatine ratio was higher in patients with RLS than controls (p=0.016) and correlated significantly with the wake time during the sleep period (p=0.007) and all other RLS-related polysomnographic sleep variables (p,0.05) except for periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS/hour). Glutamate metabolism is strongly related to arousal sleep disturbance but not to PLMS motor features of RLS. This finding contrasts with the reverse for dopamine that shows a limited relation to arousal sleep disturbance but strong relation to PLMS. [1]. COMMENT. An increased glutaminergic activity in RLS demonstrated in this study represents a new RLS abnormality involving thalamocortical activation in a major nondopaminergic neurologic system. The authors (Allen RP, et ...

The canola line T45 was genetically engineered to express tolerance to glufosinate ammonium, the active ingredient in phosphinothricin herbicides (Basta®, Rely®, Finale®, and Liberty®). Glufosinate chemically resembles the amino acid glutamate and acts to inhibit an enzyme, called glutamine synthetase, which is involved in the synthesis of glutamine. Essentially, glufosinate acts enough like glutamate, the molecule used by glutamine synthetase to make glutamine, that it blocks the enzymes usual activity. Glutamine synthetase is also involved in ammonia detoxification. The action of glufosinate results in reduced glutamine levels and a corresponding increase in concentrations of ammonia in plant tissues, leading to cell membrane disruption and cessation of photosynthesis resulting in plant withering and death ...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are endogenous proteins whose function is to maintain the cells tolerance to insult, and glutamine supplementation is known to increase HSP expression during intense exercise.

Review. 1826 (2), 370-84. Dec 2012. Dysregulation of Glucose Transport, Glycolysis, TCA Cycle and Glutaminolysis by Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressors in Cancer Cells. Jin-Qiang Chen 1, Jose Russo. PMID: 22750268. DOI: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2012.06.004. Abstract. A common set of functional characteristics of cancer cells is that cancer cells consume a large amount of glucose, maintain high rate of glycolysis and convert a majority of glucose into lactic acid even in the presence of oxygen compared to that of normal cells (Warburgs Effects). In addition, cancer cells exhibit substantial alterations in several energy metabolism pathways including glucose transport, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glutaminolysis, mitochondrial respiratory chain oxidative phosphorylation and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). In the present work, we focused on reviewing the current knowledge about the dysregulation of the proteins/enzymes involved in the key regulatory steps of glucose transport, glycolysis, TCA cycle and ...

Pediatriac Emergency Medicine Physician and CHORI clinical scientist Claudia R. Morris, MD, of CHORIs Center for Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia, has received a highly competitive grant through the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) orphan drug program to study the nutritional supplement glutamine for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in sickle cell disease and thalassemia over a three-year period.. Our hope is to use glutamine supplementation to increase nitric oxide production and thus decrease the oxidative stress and hemolysis that can lead to pulmonary hypertension in this particularly vulnerable group of patients, says Dr. Morris. Within the last 5 years, PH - high blood pressure in the blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs - has emerged as one of the major causes of death in patients with sickle cell disease, with a tenfold increased risk of mortality. Currently there are no validated standard therapies for treating PH, although studies are ongoing. ...

1. The effects of ingested grilled beef steak (250 g raw weight of lean meat) and infusion of leucine (3.8 g) on human forelimb metabolism were studied by monitoring the concentrations of various metabolites in arterial (A) and venous (V) blood of four overnight fasted and rested men.. 2. The mean basal A-V for branched-chain 2-oxo acid (BCOA) was small (−3.6 μmol/l). After ingestion of steak or administration of leucine there were large positive increases in the A-V for branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) but increase in the negative A-V for BCOA was relatively small.. 3. Within 2 h of ingestion of steak, BCAA accounted for approx. 50% of those amino acids with a positive A-V and glutamine for up to 75% of those with a negative A-V; the negative A-V for alanine decreased to 10% of its basal value. Infusion of leucine produced a large positive A-V for leucine by forelimb, a doubling in the negative A-V for glutamine and a rise in the blood glutamine concentration; the negative A-V for alanine ...

It is well-known within the medical community that frequent NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) may cause stomach irritation in susceptible people. Here we see two studies that demonstrate the possible mechanism of action of such irritation (increased gastro-intestinal permeability), and the use of L-glutamine, a non-essential amino acid, as an agent to mitigate these negative side effects. Korean J Gastroenterol. 2004 Nov;44(5):252-8. [Effect of glutamine on the non-steroidal anti-inf

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Branched chain amino acids - made up of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine - comprise approximately 35% of the amino acid composition of muscle tissue. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) have attracted a lot of interest in body building and strength based sports because they are the only amino acids that are actually metabolised in the muscle. BCAAs are converted into two other amino acids - glutamine and alanine - which are released in large quantities during intense aerobic exercise. They can also be used directly by the muscles, particularly when muscle glycogen is depleted.

Using sorting protocol based on a simple staining method for mitochondrial membrane potential we were able to isolate subclones from an established monoclonal antibody production cell line with significantly altered physiological properties. The subclone sorted for lower mitochondrial membrane potential had a faster growth rate, attained higher final cell concentrations in batch cultures, had lower glucose and glutamine uptake and lactate production rates as well as a higher specific production rate. The subclone sorted for high mitochondrial membrane potential on the other hand had a lower growth rate and final cell count, increased glucose and glutamine consumption and lactate production rates. These subclones can now be used for genomic or proteomic analysis of properties that characterise a cell line with efficient or inefficient metabolism. In addition, the method described is a valuable tool for cell line development and optimisation, offering the possibility to isolate subclones with both ...

We have examined the role of protein-protein interactions in modulating the activity of Sp1, a human transcription factor that utilizes glutamine-rich activation domains. These domains may represent a commonly used structural motif, since a nonhomologous glutamine-rich segment from the Drosophila An …

Many prion-forming proteins contain glutamine/asparagine (Q/N) wealthy domains, and you can find conflicting opinions regarding the role of primary sequence in their conversion to the prion form: is this phenomenon driven primarily by amino acid composition, or, as a recent computational analysis suggested, dependent on the presence of short sequence elements with high amyloid-forming potential. formation in proteins that are rich in glutamine and asparagine are still under debate: is the process driven by primary sequence or by amino acid composition? In 2015 Sabate et al. published a paper suggesting that RNH6270 the process is triggered by short amyloid-prone sequences. Their argument was based on the success of their pWALTZ classifier, which uses a database of short peptides with known amyloid forming propensities. To explore the validity of their argument we compared their original scoring matrices with shuffled scoring matrices, and found no decrease in accuracy, suggesting that the ...

Background: The proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) signals from glutamate, (or the combined glutamate and glutamine signal -Glx) have been found to be greater in various brain regions in people with schizophrenia. Recently, the Psychiatric Genetics Consortium, PGC) reported that several common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) in glutamate-related genes confer increased risk of schizophrenia. Here we examined the relationship between presence of these risk polymorphisms and brain Glx levels in schizophrenia.Methods: 1H-MRS imaging data from an axial, supra-ventricular tissue slab were acquired in 56 schizophrenia patients and 67 healthy subjects. Glx was measured in gray and white matter regions. The genetic data included six polymorphisms genotyped across an Illumina 5M SNP array. Only three of six glutamate as well as calcium related SNPs were available for examination. These included three glutamate-related polymorphisms (rs10520163 in CLCN3, rs9922678 in GRIN2A and rs12325245 in

Glucosamine sulphate is an amino sugar formed from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Normally made by the digestive process, Glucosamine Sulphate is fundamental in all connective tissue manufacture. Connective tissue or collagen is rich in protoglycans, which are made up of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and protein. Glucosamine Sulphate is the main precursor in GAG production. Of the three commonly available forms of glucosamine, only glucosamine sulfate is given a likely effective rating for treating osteoarthritis.. It appears that as some animals age, like humans, they do not manufacture enough GAG, one of the major causes of osteoarthritis. Supplementation with orally administered Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to be very beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.. Good diet is essential as is the need to maintain weight at normal or slightly below.. Suggested additions:. Non acidic vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential to cartilage repair and manufacture ...

Peas are a fantastic source of protein that make a highly digestible shake with a protein content which is just as good as animal protein sources.

Benefits, Dosage & Side Effects of Glutamine for Bodybuilding: Glutamine is a key contributor to anti-catabolism i.e. reduces the breakdown of the muscles. It positively contributes to strength based workout as well as increases reaction time.

1. Leg metabolism of amino acids and ammonia in the postabsorptive state was evaluated in 10 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and in 10 patients with normal renal function (controls) by measuring the arterial-femoral venous (A-FV) differences for free amino acids and ammonia.. 2. Total amino acid release from the leg and alanine and glutamine release, which accounts for the greatest amount of the total amino acid release, are similar in patients and controls. Total amino acid uptake from the arterial blood and glutamate uptake, which is the amino acid extracted at the highest rate, are comparable in both groups. Taken together these data, in addition to the similarity of A-FV differences for proteolytic markers, namely tyrosine, phenylalanine and histidine, suggest that protein breakdown in peripheral tissues is not increased in patients with CRF.. 3. In CRF selective metabolic abnormalities for some amino acids are evident. Whilst only the A-FV differences for valine, leucine and ...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered to be a highly immunosuppressive and heterogenous neoplasm. Despite improved knowledge regarding the genetic background of the tumor and better understanding of the tumor microenvironment, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (targeting CTLA4, PD1, PDL1) has not been very successful against PDAC. The robust desmoplastic stroma, along with an extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) that is rich in hyaluronan, plays an integral role in this immune evasion. Hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), a shunt pathway of glycolysis, is a metabolic node in cancer cells that can promote survival pathways on one hand and influence the hyaluronan synthesis in the ECM on the other. The rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway, glutamine-fructose amidotransferase (GFAT1), uses glutamine and fructose 6-phosphate to eventually synthesize UDP-GlcNAc. In the current manuscript, we targeted this glutamine-utilizing enzyme by a small molecule glutamine analog ...

The activity of glutamine synthetase (GS) fromStreptomyces aureofaciens was regulated by the availability of the nitrogen source. Rich nitrogen sources repressed GS synthesis and increased GS adenylylation. The enzyme was purified 270-fold to virtual homogeneity with 37% recovery. The molar mass of the native enzyme and its subunits was determined to be 620 and 55 kDa, respectively, indicating that GS is composed of 12 identical subunits. The enzyme has a hexagonal-bilayered structure as observed by electron microscopy. The isoelectric point of the purified GS was at pH 4.2. The enzyme was stable for 1 h at 50°C but lost activity rapidly when incubated at 65 and 70°C. Mg2+ supported relative synthetic activity of 100 and 72%, respectively, with the corresponding pH optima of 7.3 and 7.0. Mn2+ ions activated transferase activity at a pH optimum of 7.0. The temperature optimum for all GS activities was 50°C. Intermediates of the citric acid cycle exerted insignificant effects on the synthetic

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is one of the key enzymes involved in the assimilation of ammonia into organic nitrogen in plants. It is important in legume root nodules where ammonia, produced by the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis, is converted to organic nitrogen before it can be transported to other parts of the plant. In Phaseolus vulgaris three cytosolic and one plastidic GS polypeptide have been identified. One or more of these polypeptides assemble to form distinct octameric GS isoenzymes. GS activity increases significantly in P. vulgaris during nodulation and this is associated with the Increased (or repressed) expression of the three cytosclic polypeptide genes jln-a, gln-β and gln-γ. The temporal and spatial pattern of mRNA and protein distribution of these genes has been investigated using in situ hybridation and immunocytochemistry. An in situ hybridization protocol has been established using photobiotinylated cRNA probes, visualised with alkaline phosphatase, or streptavidin gold with ...

Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC: 6.3.1.2, L-glutamate: ammonia ligase ADP-forming) is a key enzyme in ammonium assimilation and metabolism of higher plants. The current work was undertaken to develop a more comprehensive understanding of molecular and biochemical features of GS gene family in poplar, and to characterize the developmental regulation of GS expression in various tissues and at various times during the poplar perennial growth. The GS gene family consists of 8 different genes exhibiting all structural and regulatory elements consistent with their roles as functional genes. Our results indicate that the family members are organized in 4 groups of duplicated genes, 3 of which code for cytosolic GS isoforms (GS1) and 1 which codes for the choroplastic GS isoform (GS2). Our analysis shows that Populus trichocarpa is the first plant species in which it was observed the complete GS family duplicated. Detailed expression analyses have revealed specific spatial and seasonal patterns of GS expression in

Dose-limiting toxicity of many cancer chemotherapeutic agents is peripheral neuropathy. Our data suggest that peripheral neuropathy may be reduced with the addition of glutamine in patients receiving high-dose paclitaxel as the first part of a tandem high-dose chemotherapy regimen. Glutamine appeared to reduce both the incidence and severity of symptoms previously observed with this dose. In addition, some of the signs of peripheral neuropathy were also reduced (vibration sense at the toes, interference with ADLs, gait, sensory deficits to pinprick) in patients who received glutamine compared with those who did not. Because a large proportion (38%) of the patients entered this trial with abnormal reflexes, it is not surprising that this parameter did not show any difference between the two groups. We opted to use the glutamine source cited in the original report because it is unknown whether all glutamine preparations are equivalent. The product that we used did not contain antioxidants because ...

The presence of 25 mm potassium (KCl) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) in cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) induces a trophic effect, including a specific regulation of the enzymes involved in the glutamate neurotransmitter synthesis. In this study we explored the effect of these conditions on the cytosolic and mitochondrial isoenzymes of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), and phosphate-activated glutaminase (PAG) in CGN. We found that NMDA and KCl increased the AAT total activity by 40% and 70%, respectively This effect was mediated by an augmentation in the protein levels (68% by NMDA, 58% by KCl). NMDA raised the V-max and KCl raised both the maximol velocity (V-max) and Michaelis constant (K-m) of AAT. NMDA increased cytosolic AAT activity by 30% and mitochondrial activity by 70%; KCl increased cytosolic and mitochondrial AAT activity by 60% and 100%, respectively This activation was also related to an increase in the protein levels. The effect of both conditions on the activity and ...

The concept of metabolic compartmentation describes the presence in a tissue of functionally different and chemically distinct pools of a given substrate. These separate pools equilibrate only very slowlyt if at a11, and exhibit different turnover and flux rates. Such heterogeneous functional pools of amino acids were coming under investigation in microorganisms (Britten et al. 1955; Cowie, Walton 1956; Cowie, McClure 1959), plants (Steward et al. 1956; Maclennan et al. 1963), and animal tissues (Korner, Tarver 1957; Green, Lowther 1959; Kipnis et al. 1961) at about the same time that we began our studies on glutamate-glutamine metabolism in brain. The first reference to the term metabolic compartmentstion trat we have noted is in the work of Stuart et al. (1956). In their studies on the carrot root explant, they found that glutamic acid derived from [U-l4C]glutamine had a higher specific activity (counts/min/μmol, SA) than the glutamine isolated from the tissue, a situation opposite to that which

Dysregulation of vascular stiffness and cellular metabolism occurs early in pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the mechanisms by which biophysical properties of the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) relate to metabolic processes important in PH remain undefined. In this work, we examined cultured pulmonary vascular cells and various types of PH-diseased lung tissue and determined that ECM stiffening resulted in mechanoactivation of the transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ (WWTR1). YAP/TAZ activation modulated metabolic enzymes, including glutaminase (GLS1), to coordinate glutaminolysis and glycolysis. Glutaminolysis, an anaplerotic pathway, replenished aspartate for anabolic biosynthesis, which was critical for sustaining proliferation and migration within stiff ECM. In vitro, GLS1 inhibition blocked aspartate production and reprogrammed cellular proliferation pathways, while application of aspartate restored proliferation. In the monocrotaline rat model of PH, pharmacologic modulation ...
