Mécanismes d’action potentiels de la glutamine chez le patient agressé

GCN2 and mTOR pathways are involved in the regulation of protein metabolism in response to amino acid availability in different tissues. However, regulation at intestinal level is poorly documented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a deprivation of essential amino acids (EAA) or glutamine (Gln) on these pathways in intestinal epithelial cells. Intestinal epithelial cell, HCT-8, were incubated during 6 h with 1/DMEM culture medium containing EAA, non EAA and Gln, 2/with saline as positive control of nutritional deprivation, 3/DMEM without EAA, 4/DMEM without Gln or 5/DMEM without Gln and supplemented with a glutamine synthase inhibitor (MSO, 4 mM). Intestinal permeability was evaluated by the measure of transepithelial electric resistance (TEER). Using [L-(2)H(3)]-leucine incorporation, fractional synthesis rate (FSR) was calculated from the assessed enrichment in proteins and free amino acid pool by GCMS. Expression of eiF2α (phosphorylated or not), used as marker of GCN2 pathway, and of 4E-BP1 (phosphorylated or not), used as a marker of mTOR pathway, was evaluated by immunoblot. Results were compared by ANOVA. Six-hours EAA deprivation did not significantly affect TEER and FSR but decreased p-4E-BP1 and increased p-eiF2α. In contrast, Gln deprivation decreased FSR and p-4E-BP1. MSO induced a marked decrease of TEER and FSR and an increase of p-eiF2α, whereas mTOR pathway remained activated. These results suggest that both mTOR and GCN2 pathways can mediate the limiting effects of Gln deprivation on protein synthesis according to its severity.
