Effects and metabolism of fumarate in the perfused rat heart. A 13C mass isotopomer study

Abstract: The cardioprotective effects of fumarate have been linked to its metabolism to succinate through both oxidative and reductive pathways. To date, the relative contribution of these pathways is a subject of controversy. To address this question, we designed a protocol with 13C substrates and took advantage of 13C isotopomer analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Rat hearts were perfused with 11 mM glucose, 1 mM lactate, 0.2 mM pyruvate, 0.2 mM [1-13C]octanoate, and 0.04 or 0.4 mM [U-13C4]fumarate. On … Show more

“…Nor do we provide data regarding succinate derived from alternative pathways that remain undefined but contribute substantially to succinate during hypoxia. 32 Limitations and Pitfalls As the techniques used in this study require rapid tissue extraction and freeze clamping, we were able to sample from only one parietal cortex location; therefore, we cannot be certain that these findings occur throughout the brain. However, most previous studies examining CAC metabolism in brain slices indicate uniformity with metabolic perturbations.…”

“…Heart Perfusions-Procedures for isolation and perfusion of rat hearts were as described in previous publications (35,and Comte et al (67)). Briefly, hearts from fed male Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River, Quebec) weighing 120 -220 g (heart wet weight, 1.…”

“…13 C NMR studies on rat hearts perfused with 13 C-substrates pointed out malate decarboxylation as a cataplerotic reaction (62). How- Table I), and (iii) with 0.4 mM [U- 13 C 4 ]fumarate, tissue pyruvate was unlabeled, although it became significantly enriched in M3 isotopomers when hearts were subjected to lowflow ischemia (35). Although the 13 C labeling of a small pool of mitochondrial pyruvate might not be detected by GCMS assay of pyruvate in whole heart homogenates, our data nevertheless raise some doubt about the occurrence of a cataplerotic efflux at malate at least under our present perfusion conditions.…”

“…The application of fumaric acid in cardoplegia improves myocardial contractility and decreases the concentration of lactate dehydrogenase, which is correlated to increases in the number of dead cells at higher levels of activity. Its protective impact is related to the transformation of fumaric acid into succinic acid via a dehydrogenation reaction in Krebs cycle (28). It has also been shown to positively impact the restoration of proper function in immature myocytes (29).…”
