[13C]bicarbonate labelled from hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate is an in vivo marker of hepatic gluconeogenesis in fasted state

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Emine Can

Hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate enables direct in vivo assessment of real-time liver enzymatic activities by 13C magnetic resonance. However, the technique usually requires the injection of a highly supraphysiological dose of pyruvate. We herein demonstrate ...

Endogenous nicotinamide riboside metabolism protects against diet-induced liver damage

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Joanna Ratajczak, Miriam Valera Alberni

Supplementation with the NAD(+) precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) ameliorates and prevents a broad array of metabolic and aging disorders in mice. However, little is known about the physiological role of endogenous NR metabolism. We have previously show ...

Hyperpolarized C-13 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Reveals the Rate-Limiting Role of the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Cerebral Uptake and Metabolism of L-Lactate in Vivo

Arnaud Comment, Bernard Lanz, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Tian Cheng, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Yuhei Takado, Sylvain Eric Lengacher

The dynamics of L-lactate transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and its cerebral metabolism are still subject to debate. We studied lactate uptake and intracellular metabolism in the mouse brain using hyperpolarized C-13 magnetic resonance spectro ...

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Mukul Girotra, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Aline Roch, Nicola Vannini, Sonja Giger, Gennady Nikitin

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. However, whether this change in the metabolic program is the cause ...

NAD(+) repletion improves muscle function in muscular dystrophy and counters global PARylation

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Laurent Mouchiroud, Dongryeol Ryu, Hongbo Zhang, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Keir Joe Menzies, Xu Wang, Karim Laurent Gariani

Neuromuscular diseases are often caused by inherited mutations that lead to progressive skeletal muscle weakness and degeneration. In diverse populations of normal healthy mice, we observed correlations between the abundance of mRNA transcripts related to ...

Imaging liver and brain glycogen metabolism at the nanometer scale

Anders Meibom, Arnaud Comment, Graham Knott, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Yuhei Takado

In mammals, glycogen synthesis and degradation are dynamic processes regulating blood and cerebral glucose-levels within a well-defined physiological range. Despite the essential role of glycogen in hepatic and cerebral metabolism, its spatiotemporal distr ...

Deciphering the astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation in vivo

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain energy consumption is high and a very tightly regulated energy metabolism ensures correct performance. Neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information via synapses, interact very closely with star shaped glial cells called astrocytes. Ast ...

Lactate metabolism shift in CHO cell culture: the role of mitochondrial oxidative activity

Florian Maria Wurm, Martin Jordan, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler

Lactate production is monitored in industrial processes as a crucial metabolite for cultured mammalian cells. Typically lactate is strongly produced during the exponential growth phase, while its net consumption is frequently observed when cells enter into ...

Elucidating the role of neuron-astrocyte metabolic coupling in learning and memory : molecular, genetic and behavioural approaches

Monika Tadi

The brain has very high energy demands that are mainly met by the circulating blood glucose to ensure its proper functioning. Thus, it is not surprising that though the human brain weighs only 2- 3% of the body weight, it consumes approximately 25% of tota ...

Multidisciplinary Analysis of the Metabolic Shift to Lactate Consumption in CHO Cell Culture

Mammalian cells represent the most widely used host system for the industrial production of recombinant therapeutic proteins. In order to increase productivity, chemically defined media are often used and optimized to provide the cells with the necessary n ...

Quantification of brain glycogen concentration and turnover through localized C-13 NMR of both the C1 and C6 resonances

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Ruud van Heeswijk

We have recently shown that at isotopic steady state C-13 NMR can provide a direct measurement of glycogen concentration changes, but that the turnover of glycogen was not accessible with this protocol. The aim of the present study was to design, implement ...

A Large Number of Protein Expression Changes Occur Early in Life and Precede Phenotype Onset in a Mouse Model for Huntington Disease

Huntington disease (HD) is fatal in humans within 15-20 years of symptomatic disease. Although late stage HD has been studied extensively, protein expression changes that occur at the early stages of disease and during disease progression have not been rep ...

Identification and characterization of proteins supporting dehalorespiration in Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1

Respiration is a fundamental catalytic process in the aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism of many prokaryotic and most eukaryotic organisms. The major difference between these organisms is that various organic and inorganic substrates can be used to do ...

Non-invasive quantification of brain glycogen absolute concentration

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Hongxia Lei, Hanne Frenkel, Sabrina Laus, Ruud van Heeswijk

The only currently available method to measure brain glycogen in vivo is C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Incorporation of C-13-labeled glucose (Glc) is necessary to allow glycogen measurement, but might be affected by turnover changes. Our aim was to measure glycog ...

Activity-dependent regulation of energy metabolism by astrocytes: an update

Pierre Magistretti

Astrocytes play a critical role in the regulation of brain metabolic responses to activity. One detailed mechanism proposed to describe the role of astrocytes in some of these responses has come to be known as the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle hypothesi ...

Direct validation of in vivo localized 13C MRS measurements of brain glycogen

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

With the use of localized 13C MRS in conjunction with [1-(13)C]-D-glucose infusion, it is possible to study brain glycogen metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to validate in vivo 13C MRS measurements by comparing them with results from a stan ...
