Early effects of copper accumulation on methionine metabolism

Abstract: Wilson's disease is characterized by long-term hepatic accumulation of copper leading to liver disease with reduction of S-adenosylmethionine synthesis. However, the initial changes in this pathway remain unknown and constitute the objective of the present study. Using the Long Evans Cinnamon rat model early alterations in the mRNA and protein levels, as well as in the activities of several enzymes of the methionine cycle were detected. Noteworthy, the main change was a redox mediated 80% decrease in the mRNA … Show more

“…Many liver diseases associated with impairment of methionine metabolism proceed with changes in the MAT isoenzymes that are expressed (MAT1A to MAT2A switch) (7,12,14,31,33,56,61). By this expression switch, the cell changes from high-to-low V max MAT isoenzymes with the corresponding reductions in MAT activity, AdoMet levels, and the methylation index.…”

“…Quantification of metabolite levels was performed, as previously described, at OWL Genomics Facilities (Derio, Vizcaya, Spain) (14). Briefly, tissue samples were homogenized in 0.4 M perchloric acid and the supernatant was used to determine reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione levels.…”

“…Este aminoácido es utilizado en la síntesis de proteínas y en el ciclo de la metionina, ruta en la que se produce el principal donante de grupos metilo, la Sadenosilmetionina (SAM) [1]. El número y variedad de patologías en que se han detectado alteraciones en el ciclo de la metionina es cada día mayor, abarcando desde la cirrosis o el fallo hepático agudo [2], hasta el cáncer, el Parkinson, la sordera [3] y enfermedades raras, como la de Wilson [4].…”

“…Más recientemente hemos identificado que la unión de NADP + a la subunidad reguladora MAT aumenta su afinidad por el dímero de subunidades catalíticas MAT2. Esto hace de MAT II un hetero-trímero regulable por mecanismos redox, que también reducen drásticamente el nivel de expresión de MAT en un modelo de enfermedad de Wilson [4]. Estos datos modifican la visión clásica de la composición de MAT II, y añaden un nuevo nivel de complejidad a la regulación redox de las MATs.…”
