A p.m.r. isotope-exchange method for studying the kinetic properties of dehydrogenases in intact cells

Abstract: A method to determine the activity of dehydrogenases in an intact-cell system is described. The method involves the use of n.m.r. to monitor bulk isotope exchange. The approach is illustrated by application to the isotope equilibration of pyruvate and lactate as catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase in intact erythrocytes. Particular problems peculiar to bulk isotope exchange and its observation by n.m.r. are considered.

“…Only small hyperpolarized [1-13 C]lactate signals were observed in muscle (3), consistent with the fact that resting muscle has low levels of lactate. Similarly, despite that fact that red blood cells are known to have relatively high LDH activity (15,27), only limited lactate labeling was observed in the blood pool (3,28), implying again that there is limited lactate available for exchange.…”

“…Imaging of the whole exchange time course, however, is technically challenging due to continuous loss of polarization. Moreover, possible changes in the pyruvate and lactate concentrations during the exchange time course will result in changes in the exchange rate constants as the degree of saturation of the enzyme with its substrates changes (15)(16)(17). Therefore, we also assessed the capability of magnetization transfer experiments to give more rapid estimates of the exchange rate constants.…”

“…This is not too surprising, because the equilibrium favors lactate. However, it is also well established that lactate and pyruvate are in rapid exchange under equilibrium conditions (Day et al , 2007; Simpson et al , 1982; Xu et al , 2007). Independent of the balance between net flux and exchange, the level of 13 C-lactate observed in hyperpolarized 13 C-pyruvate studies, at least in other tissues, has been linked to several important changes in metabolic state, such as correlations of the 13 C-lactate signal with lactate dehydrogenase activity (Ward et al , 2010), disease progression (Albers et al , 2008), and changes in redox state, NAD/NADH, caused by alcohol consumption (Spielman et al , 2009).…”

“…Increasing the pyruvate concentration might be expected to increase the exchange velocity; however, this effect will be offset to some extent by a decrease in the equilibrium concentration of NADH, which will tend to decrease the exchange velocity (71,72).…”
