Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases in the Nervous System: Their Principal Functions in Neuronal-glial Metabolic Interaction and Neuro-metabolic Disorders

Abstract: Metabolism is involved directly or indirectly in all processes conducted in living cells. The brain, popularly viewed as a neuronal-glial complex, gets most of its energy from the oxygen-dependent metabolism of glucose, and the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays a key regulatory role during the oxidation of glucose. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (also called PDC kinase or PDK) is a kinase that regulates glucose metabolism by switching off PDC. Four isoforms of PDKs with tissue specific ac… Show more

“…Cultured astrocytes expressed more PDK2 and PDK4 compared to neurons, consistent with the lower PDH activity and higher lactate production displayed by cultured astrocytes [64]. There is accumulating evidence that alterations in PDKs activity are linked to the development of several neurological disorders.…”

“…Pyruvate, an intermediate of glucose entering into the TCA cycle, was reduced in the glioma with IDH1 mutation, but the ratio of pyruvate to lactate did not differ between the glioma tissues with and without IDH1 mutation. To investigate how pyruvate enters into the TCA cycle, we measured protein expression level of PDK1 regulating the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and pyruvate carboxylase (PCE) that carboxylates it to oxaloacetate . The levels of PDK1 was reduced and PCE increased in the glioma tissues with IDH1 mutation compared to IDH1 wild-type (Figure S3).…”

“…PDC exists in the mitochondrial matrix, is a rate-limiting enzyme in the TCA cycle, and can catalyze pyruvic acid oxidative decarboxylation into acetyl coenzyme A . PDC plays an important role in the energy metabolism of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is closely linked to the aerobic oxidation of glucose, the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, MBC can increase the energy conservation of rice by promoting the pathways of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and the TCA cycle.…”
