Intramitochondrial decarboxylation of glucose-derived pyruvate by PDHC (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) is a principal source of acetyl-CoA, for mitochondrial energy production and cytoplasmic synthetic pathways in all types of brain cells. The inhibition of PDHC, ACO (aconitase) and KDHC (ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex) activities by neurodegenerative signals such as aluminium, zinc, amyloid β-peptide, excess nitric oxide (NO) or thiamine pyrophosphate deficits resulted in much deeper losses of viability, acetyl-CoA and ATP in differentiated cholinergic neuronal cells than in non-differentiated cholinergic, and cultured microglial or astroglial cell lines. In addition, in cholinergic cells, such conditions caused inhibition of ACh (acetylcholine) synthesis and its quantal release. Furthermore, cholinergic neuronal cells appeared to be resistant to high concentrations of LPS (lipopolysaccharide). In contrast, in microglial cells, low levels of LPS caused severalfold activation of NO, IL-6 (interleukin 6) and TNFα (tumour necrosis factor α) synthesis/release, accompanied by inhibition of PDHC, KDHC and ACO activities, and suppression of acetyl-CoA, but relatively small losses in their ATP contents and viability parameters. Compounds that protected these enzymes against inhibitory effects of neurotoxins alleviated acetyl-CoA and ATP deficits, thereby maintaining neuronal cell viability. These data indicate that preferential susceptibility of cholinergic neurons to neurodegenerative insults may result from competition for acetyl-CoA between mitochondrial energy-producing and cytoplasmic ACh-synthesizing pathways. Such a hypothesis is supported by the existence of highly significant correlations between mitochondrial/cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA levels and cell viability/transmitter functions respectively.

Abstract This paper deals with the partial purification of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) from chloroplasts of spinach and maize mesophyll which hitherto has been isolated only from pea chloroplasts. Starting with membrane free suspensions of lyophilized chloroplasts, and following a high-speed (140000 Xg) centrifugation of this “stromal extract”, the initial specific PDC-activities were concentrated by a factor 10 in the sediment. While most of the purification procedures described earlier resulted in almost complete loss of enzyme activities, a rate zonal sedimentation on linear glycerol gradients allowed for an additional up to 100-fold enrichment of the labile multienzyme complex, albeit with low yields. In contrast to chloroplast PDC from maize mesophyll, inactivation of the spinach complex during glycerol fractionation was due to the dissociation of its loosely bound dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase component which collected in a lower density fraction of the gradient. Its recombination with PDC constituents of the bottom layer nearly restored initial activities. The chloroplast complex has been identified as true PDC by its substrate specificity for pyru­vate, NAD+, and coenzyme A and the 1:1:1 stoichiometry of its reaction products NADH, CO2, and acetyl-CoA. The chloroplast PDC of both plant species showed the well known higher pH-and Mg-requirements than the mitochondrial complex. The observed species-specific differences in the stability of this multienzyme system suggest a connection with the aggregation state of its components. Apparently, the individual subcomplexes are able to function either together in acetyl-CoA formation or independently from each other, e.g. in the synthesis of acetolactate via hydroxy-ethyl-thiamine pyrophosphate or dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase activities.

Brain pathologies evoked by thiamine deficiency can be aggravated by mild zinc excess. Cholinergic neurons are the most susceptible to such cytotoxic signals. Sub-toxic zinc excess aggravates the injury of neuronal SN56 cholinergic cells under mild thiamine deficiency. The excessive cell loss is caused by Zn interference with acetyl-CoA metabolism. The aim of this work was to investigate whether and how astroglial C6 cells alleviated the neurotoxicity of Zn to cultured SN56 cells in thiamine-deficient media. Low Zn concentrations did not affect astroglial C6 and primary glial cell viability in thiamine-deficient conditions. Additionally, parameters of energy metabolism were not significantly changed. Amprolium (a competitive inhibitor of thiamine uptake) augmented thiamine pyrophosphate deficits in cells, while co-treatment with Zn enhanced the toxic effect on acetyl-CoA metabolism. SN56 cholinergic neuronal cells were more susceptible to these combined insults than C6 and primary glial cells, which affected pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and the acetyl-CoA level. A co-culture of SN56 neurons with astroglial cells in thiamine-deficient medium eliminated Zn-evoked neuronal loss. These data indicate that astroglial cells protect neurons against Zn and thiamine deficiency neurotoxicity by preserving the acetyl-CoA level.
