However, on the other hand, studies on the interaction of different cells in the microenvironment have found that CAFs cells have a high metabolism of BCAA and provide BCKA to PDAC cells to assist tumor cells in BCAA metabolism.
Subsets with different preferences for BCAA metabolism have also been found in breast cancer, and further studies are needed to determine whether this is due to differences in tumor cells or the involvement of other cells in the microenvironment. Aspartate is a nonessential amino acid, but it is also an intrinsic limiting factor in the growth of some tumors.
Under hypoxia, the mitochondrial ETC is inhibited, and energy synthesis and Asp synthesis are limited, which leads to the dependence of tumor cells on the environmental uptake of Asp.
The amino acid transporter SLC1A3 has an important role in maintaining Asp concentrations inside tumor cells and antagonizing the therapeutic effects of ASNase. Therefore, limiting Asn metabolism in tumor cells and immunosuppressive cells in the TME and protecting and promoting Asn metabolism in anti-tumor immune cells should be a problem to be solved.
In treating solid tumors, developing more tumor-targeting ASNase is one aspect, and the SLC1A3 inhibitor mentioned earlier also provides an idea to solve this problem. Gln is extensively consumed by intestinal, renal, immune, and tumor cells.
Because SLC7A11 exchanges intracellular glutamate with extracellular cystine, the intracellular glutamate concentration decreases, which leads to more Gln uptake and increased glutaminase activity and making these cells dependent on external Gln.
According to the TCGA database, The expression levels of SLC7A11 mRNA in Cervical cancer CESC , Cholangiocarcinoma CHOL , Colonic adenocarcinoma COAD , Esophagus cancer ESCA , Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma HNSC , chromophobe kidney cell carcinoma KICH , Clear cell carcinoma of kidney KIRC , Papillary cell carcinoma of the kidney KIRP , Liver cell carcinoma LIHC , Lung adenocarcinoma LUAD , Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung LUSC , Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas PAAD , Rectum adenocarcinoma READ , Sarcoma SARC , Cutaneous melanoma SKCM , Stomach adenocarcinoma STAD , and Endometrial carcinoma of the flesh UCEC were significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues.
These features suggest that SLC7A11 may serve as a promising target for cancer metabolism. Glutaminase GLS , as a key enzyme in tubular aminamide metabolism, has also received extensive attention. CB, an inhibitor targeting GLS, has shown good tumor inhibition activity, tolerance, and safety in preclinical studies and phase I clinical trials in solid tumors.
Cells lacking arginine-succinate synthetase 1 ASS1 are arginine-dependent. ASS1 expression is downregulated in CHOL, GBM, KICH, KIRC, KIRP, and LIHC tumor categories, suggesting the feasibility of arginine depletion therapy.
Analogs targeting arginase and arginine deiminase, the enzymes involved in arginine depletion, have been developed. Using the arginine deiminase analog ADI-PEG in hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma has demonstrated antitumor activity in vitro and in xenograft models and demonstrated safety and efficacy in a phase I clinical trial.
Studying the mechanism of benefit in this group of subjects to seek the precision of treatment should be the next problem to be solved. Pegylated arginase PEG-BCT combined with oxaliplatin and capecitabine has shown satisfactory therapeutic efficacy and safety in phase I clinical trials in solid tumors.
For tumor cells deficient in methythioadenosine phosphorylase MTAP , Met depletion and inhibition of the key enzyme MAT2A in the Met metabolism pathway are possible therapeutic strategies.
MAT2A inhibitors AG and IDE have demonstrated significant antitumor activity both in vitro and in animal models, and phase I clinical trials are currently underway. Currently, amino acid metabolism-targeted therapy still faces many challenges. Adipocytes and bone marrow stromal cells in the TME can promote the resistance of tumor cells to ASNase treatment by supplying Gln and cysteine to leukemia cells, , and cancer-associated fibroblasts can secrete Asp to promote solid tumor growth.
The efficacy of a drug also depends on its ability to reach the tumor site. When the drug fails to reach the tumor site, it fails to induce tumor cell death successfully. In addition, immune and allergic reactions to non-human enzymes can compromise therapy and harm patients.
Decoding the metabolic requirements of amino acids in different tissues and understanding how to target the metabolism and metabolic pathways of these amino acids is indispensable for improving the level of cancer treatment.

Nutrients 10 , Within weeks after treatment initiation, oral intake increased, vomiting decreased, and pulmonary function improved.
After three weeks, isoleucine supplementation was stopped for two weeks due to pharmacy delivery problems. Vomiting, mucus production, and respiratory distress all increased.
Upon reinitiation, symptoms improved. During treatment, P IARS experienced no infections requiring hospital admission, compared to five admissions two years prior.
Periods without oxygen therapy increased in frequency and duration. Upon treatment, progression of ILD ceased as confirmed by computed tomography CT scans Figure S3. P IARS became more energetic, interaction increased, and expressive speech and language skills improved according to professionals at school.
Behavioral abnormalities became more apparent, and hindered repeat psychological testing. Although incomplete, Dutch Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fifth edition WISC-V-NL [ 17 ] evaluation showed a disharmonic profile: fluid reasoning and processing speed were stronger fluid reasoning index [FRI]: 82 , compared to verbal understanding and working memory verbal comprehension index [VCI]: a — d Summary of symptoms and treatment effects.

Colors indicate the generalized treatment effect on the symptom green: improved; white: stable or stabilized; red: progressed. Standard deviation scores Z for height, weight, and head circumference were calculated using Netherlands NL reference charts P IARS ; head circumference of P LARS , World Health Organization WHO reference charts P FARSB , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC reference charts height and weight of P LARS , and French FR reference charts P SARS.

T in months from start of treatment. During nine months of protein fortification and erroneous isoleucine supplementation, she was not admitted to hospital, and was more energetic.
Her weight improved, but not height further deviation , nor head circumference stable. Within one month after switching to leucine, her oral intake increased. Tube feeding became unnecessary after six months.
Liver transaminases, bilirubin, immunoglobulins, and liver ultrasound normalized. Recently, she suffered COVID with flu-like symptoms, without derailing. Repeat neuropsychologic testing was delayed due to COVID restrictions. P FARSB was an month-old boy.
Pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction and placental abruption. After three months, he developed esophageal variceal bleeding. Bleeding was stopped via octreotide and sclerotherapy, but hepatic encephalopathy and respiratory failure shortly ensued.
His death was attributed to disease progression. P SARS was a 5-year-old boy, fourth of five children born to consanguineous parents first cousins. Symptoms involved dysmaturity Fig. Three siblings with the same SARS1 variants died following infections. One sibling without SARS1 variants is clinically well.
Before treatment, height, weight, and head circumference standard deviations of P SARS gradually decreased with age. Development improved.
Pretreatment, he had significant difficulties in receptive and expressive language, and none of the primary Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, fourth edition WPPSI-IV [ 18 ] subtests could be completed. After one year of treatment, the six primary and five additional subtests of the WPPSI-IV could be completed.
While he scored below average on tests requiring sustained attention and working memory and exhibited attentional difficulties in everyday life CBCL [ 19 ], he scored within normal limits on tasks assessing spatial visualization and constructive skills, as well as logic and perceptual reasoning.
Figure 2a—d summarizes treatment effects. In all patients, treatment was well tolerated, and safety parameters remained stable Tables S3 — 6.
We report how clinical observations led to targeted studies in patient-derived fibroblasts, providing insight in the disease mechanism and a personalized treatment strategy. Based on pronounced symptoms during the first year of life and episodes of intercurrent illness, we hypothesized that patient aminoacylation may suffice for cellular functions under normal conditions, but not during periods of increased translation temporally and spatially controlled tissue formation, rapid growth in early life, illness or decreased amino acid availability starvation, vomiting , in particular when the cognate amino acid is essential.
Indeed, patient fibroblast studies showed increased sensitivity to ARS-specific amino acid deprivation. Further contributing to deterioration during infections [ 2 ], we evidenced strongly decreased aminoacylation activity for LARS and FARSB at feverish temperatures Variants that decrease protein stability decrease the temperature at which the protein unfolds.
It is not possible to predict whether these variants result in unfolding of the protein around body temperature as for P LARS and P FARSB. Motivated by these studies and because protein folds typically stabilize when bound to substrates, we initiated supplementation of the ARS-specific amino acid for individual patients with IARS, LARS, FARSB, and SARS deficiencies, with protein fortification for P IARS and P LARS.
To prevent the ARS proteins from irreversible processes of unfolding, aggregation and degradation, we intensified treatment during infections, and advised strict antipyretic treatment. Furthermore, we provided an emergency protocol for triggers such as fasting, fever, and infections.
Overall, we found strikingly beneficial effects and good tolerance and safety. Most consistent was the improvement in growth including head circumference quickly after initiation of treatment Fig. In addition, for P IARS , oxygen dependency decreased and previously progressive pulmonary abnormalities stabilized, and for P FARSB , liver function improved.
The instable FARS protein, as evidenced by severely reduced enzyme activity upon minimal increase over physiological temperature Fig. Because ARS deficiencies were only recently discovered, it is difficult to relate treatment effects to the natural disease course.
While protein fortification alone caused some improvements, the need for treatment with the corresponding amino acid was evidenced by improved effects after leucine instead of erroneous isoleucine supplementation in P LARS , and by transient clinical deterioration during two-week delivery failure of isoleucine in P IARS.
Concordantly, total parenteral nutrition improved liver function of one MARS-deficient patient [ 20 ], as did protein fortification in LARS deficiency [ 21 ]. One IARS-deficient patient thrived better upon high-caloric feeding, and isoleucine supplementation decreased susceptibility to infections [ 10 ].
Recently, protein fortification with methionine supplementation resulted in improved growth, pulmonary function and neurodevelopment in two MARS-deficient patients [ 22 ]. These effects for different ARS deficiencies, and prompt onset after initiation suggest a true treatment effect.
This affordable, accessible, and safe strategy holds the potential to improve outcomes for the expanding group of severe, often progressive, multiorgan ARS deficiencies. Although further research and validation for other ARS deficiencies are necessary, our in vitro studies in patient-derived cells may guide personalized therapeutic strategies.

: Amino acid synthesis deficiency| Amino acid metabolism in health and disease | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy | Elevated homocysteine levels have been linked to cardiovascular and neurological diseases. This leads to a functional folate deficiency, even though total levels of folate are normal. A folate deficiency whether functional or actual leads to megaloblastic anemia caused by an inability of blood cell precursors to synthesize DNA and, therefore, to divide. This leads to large, partially replicated cells being released into the blood to attempt to replenish the cells that have died. Folate deficiencies also have been linked to an increased incidence of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in mothers who become pregnant while folate deficient. Further metabolism of homocysteine provides the sulfur atom for the synthesis of cysteine. In this two-step process, homocysteine first reacts with serine to form cystathionine. Thus, methionine, via homocysteine, is not used for cysteine synthesis unless the levels of cysteine in the body are lower than required for its metabolic functions. As SAM is constantly being used as a methyl donor, this results in a consistent production of SAH. Consequently, this leads to constant production of homocysteine. The homocysteine produced can be either remethylated to methionine or condensed with serine to form cystathionine. The liver also contains a second pathway in which betaine a degradation product of choline can donate a methyl group to homocysteine to form methionine, but this is a minor pathway. The conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine requires pyridoxal phosphate PLP. This directs homocysteine to produce cystathionine, which eventually produces cysteine. Homocysteine also accumulates in the blood if a mutation is present in the enzyme that converts N5,Nmethylene-FH4 to N5-methyl-FH4. When this occurs, the levels of N5-methyl-FH4 are too low to allow homocysteine to be converted to methionine. The loss of this pathway, coupled with the feedback inhibition by cysteine on cystathionine formation, also leads to elevated homocysteine levels in the blood. These defects block the ability of homocysteine to be converted to cystathionine, and the homocysteine that does accumulate cannot all be accommodated by conversion to methionine. Thus, an accumulation of homocysteine results. Ferrier, D. Lippincott Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry , 7th ed. Le, T. First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 , 29th ed.

Go back to previous article. Each of the 3 defects is very rare, but diagnosis is important, as children affected with attenuated forms benefit from L-serine supplementation, and each has an autosomal recessive risk of recurrence. A biallelic disruption of the PHDGH gene on chromosome 1p12 is responsible for 3-PGDH deficiency Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [MIM] no. At least cases of Neu-Laxova syndrome have been described, and significantly fewer children have attenuated forms. Attenuated 3-PGDH deficiency is a neurometabolic disease characterized by intrauterine growth failure, congenital microcephaly, intractable seizures, and later, a global developmental disorder and spasticity. Cataracts and hypogonadism have also been observed. Brain magnetic resonance imaging MRI shows severe atrophy and hypomyelination. Mild forms may manifest with isolated late-onset seizures and signs of polyneuropathy. Amino acid analysis in cerebrospinal fluid CSF or preprandial plasma reveals decreased serine and moderately low glycine concentrations. Postprandial amino acid levels may be normal. The diagnosis can be confirmed by enzyme assay in fibroblasts or by DNA-based testing.

Current research and clinical trials in AADC deficiency are mostly focused on gene therapy, which aims to replace the non-working gene. This is performed using a virus as a vector. Viruses can insert part of their genetic material into human cells and use the human cellular machinery to replicate. If the virus is genetically engineered so that the genetic material it inserts in human cells contains the functional DDC gene, a more functional AADC enzyme could be produced. Researchers have developed such viruses and injected them in specific regions of the brain of children with AADC deficiency. The results have been promising and many patients improved, but additional research is needed before this therapy is approved for clinical use.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases ARS facilitate loading of transfer RNAs tRNAs with their cognate amino acids [ 1 ], a pivotal process in translating messenger RNA mRNA to protein. ARS function in the cytosol encoded by ARS1 , mitochondria encoded by ARS2 , or both encoded by GARS1 , KARS1 , QARS1. Autosomal recessive ARS1 variants cause severe symptoms in various organs, especially during the first year of life and infectious episodes, and may lead to premature death [ 2 ], putatively through loss of aminoacylation activity [ 3 ]. To improve care for the increasingly recognized group of ARS-deficient patients, we further investigated the disease mechanism for four different ARS deficiencies, and developed a personalized treatment strategy. Protein structure visualizations were based on pdb entries 1ile , 1ffy , 3l4g , 4rge , and 6lfp , using molscript, Raster3D, and Bragi [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Aminoacyl-tRNA was precipitated with trichloroacetic acid TCA. Labeled amino acids were detached from tRNAs with ammonia. Labeled amino acids were quantified by liquid chromatography—tandem mass spectrometry. Analyses were performed in triplicates. Proliferation of fibroblasts was evaluated by continuous impedance analysis over three days using a real-time cell analyzer xCELLigence MP, ACEA Biosciences. Similar amino acid dosages were safely used for other disorders [ 8 , 9 ]. TrpCys and c. Asnfs OMIM [ 2 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], previously described as P2 and P1, respectively [ 2 ]. and c. ValAsp OMIM [ 2 ]. GlyAla OMIM [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. ArgLeu OMIM [ 16 ]. For all variants, we predicted pathogenicity using protein structure analyses Supplementary Text, Figure S1. Because patients deteriorate during infections [ 2 ], we investigated thermostability of the affected enzymes. At a Enzyme activity is decreased but not absent in all patients. Aminoacylation activity in fibroblasts of P IARS , P IARS-2 , P LARS , P FARSB , and two siblings with the same homozygous variant as P SARS , presented as percentage of age-matched controls. GARS activity was measured as an internal control. Error bars show standard deviation. b — e IARS, LARS, and FARSB patient fibroblasts are sensitive to isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine deprivation, respectively. Amino acid concentrations were compared to average plasma concentrations. f — i LARS and FARS activity deteriorate in LARS and FARSB patient fibroblasts, respectively. Based on severe symptoms at young age and during infections, reflecting periods of increased translation and decreased amino acid availability, we tested if patient fibroblasts were sensitive to ARS-specific amino acid concentrations. Indeed, patient fibroblast proliferation was normal at high concentrations, but decreased in a dose-dependent manner at lower concentrations of isoleucine for P IARS and P IARS-2 , leucine for P LARS , and phenylalanine for P FARSB Fig. Fibroblasts from P IARS and P LARS died upon combined amino acid deprivation data not shown. As serine is nonessential, effects may have been compensated by biosynthesis from glycine and glucose in our culture media. P IARS was an 8-year-old boy with a history of dysmaturity Fig. Within weeks after treatment initiation, oral intake increased, vomiting decreased, and pulmonary function improved. After three weeks, isoleucine supplementation was stopped for two weeks due to pharmacy delivery problems. Vomiting, mucus production, and respiratory distress all increased. Upon reinitiation, symptoms improved. During treatment, P IARS experienced no infections requiring hospital admission, compared to five admissions two years prior. Periods without oxygen therapy increased in frequency and duration. Upon treatment, progression of ILD ceased as confirmed by computed tomography CT scans Figure S3. P IARS became more energetic, interaction increased, and expressive speech and language skills improved according to professionals at school. Behavioral abnormalities became more apparent, and hindered repeat psychological testing. Although incomplete, Dutch Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fifth edition WISC-V-NL [ 17 ] evaluation showed a disharmonic profile: fluid reasoning and processing speed were stronger fluid reasoning index [FRI]: 82 , compared to verbal understanding and working memory verbal comprehension index [VCI]: a — d Summary of symptoms and treatment effects.

Colors indicate the generalized treatment effect on the symptom green: improved; white: stable or stabilized; red: progressed. Standard deviation scores Z for height, weight, and head circumference were calculated using Netherlands NL reference charts P IARS ; head circumference of P LARS , World Health Organization WHO reference charts P FARSB , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC reference charts height and weight of P LARS , and French FR reference charts P SARS. e — h Growth charts: Z -scores of height, weight and head circumference for age.

T in months from start of treatment. During nine months of protein fortification and erroneous isoleucine supplementation, she was not admitted to hospital, and was more energetic. Her weight improved, but not height further deviation , nor head circumference stable. Within one month after switching to leucine, her oral intake increased. Tube feeding became unnecessary after six months. Liver transaminases, bilirubin, immunoglobulins, and liver ultrasound normalized. Recently, she suffered COVID with flu-like symptoms, without derailing. Repeat neuropsychologic testing was delayed due to COVID restrictions. P FARSB was an month-old boy. Pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction and placental abruption. After three months, he developed esophageal variceal bleeding. Bleeding was stopped via octreotide and sclerotherapy, but hepatic encephalopathy and respiratory failure shortly ensued. His death was attributed to disease progression. P SARS was a 5-year-old boy, fourth of five children born to consanguineous parents first cousins. Symptoms involved dysmaturity Fig. Three siblings with the same SARS1 variants died following infections. One sibling without SARS1 variants is clinically well. Before treatment, height, weight, and head circumference standard deviations of P SARS gradually decreased with age. Development improved. Pretreatment, he had significant difficulties in receptive and expressive language, and none of the primary Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, fourth edition WPPSI-IV [ 18 ] subtests could be completed. After one year of treatment, the six primary and five additional subtests of the WPPSI-IV could be completed. While he scored below average on tests requiring sustained attention and working memory and exhibited attentional difficulties in everyday life CBCL [ 19 ], he scored within normal limits on tasks assessing spatial visualization and constructive skills, as well as logic and perceptual reasoning. Figure 2a—d summarizes treatment effects. In all patients, treatment was well tolerated, and safety parameters remained stable Tables S3 — 6. We report how clinical observations led to targeted studies in patient-derived fibroblasts, providing insight in the disease mechanism and a personalized treatment strategy. Based on pronounced symptoms during the first year of life and episodes of intercurrent illness, we hypothesized that patient aminoacylation may suffice for cellular functions under normal conditions, but not during periods of increased translation temporally and spatially controlled tissue formation, rapid growth in early life, illness or decreased amino acid availability starvation, vomiting , in particular when the cognate amino acid is essential. Indeed, patient fibroblast studies showed increased sensitivity to ARS-specific amino acid deprivation. Further contributing to deterioration during infections [ 2 ], we evidenced strongly decreased aminoacylation activity for LARS and FARSB at feverish temperatures Variants that decrease protein stability decrease the temperature at which the protein unfolds. It is not possible to predict whether these variants result in unfolding of the protein around body temperature as for P LARS and P FARSB. Motivated by these studies and because protein folds typically stabilize when bound to substrates, we initiated supplementation of the ARS-specific amino acid for individual patients with IARS, LARS, FARSB, and SARS deficiencies, with protein fortification for P IARS and P LARS. To prevent the ARS proteins from irreversible processes of unfolding, aggregation and degradation, we intensified treatment during infections, and advised strict antipyretic treatment. Furthermore, we provided an emergency protocol for triggers such as fasting, fever, and infections. Overall, we found strikingly beneficial effects and good tolerance and safety. Most consistent was the improvement in growth including head circumference quickly after initiation of treatment Fig. In addition, for P IARS , oxygen dependency decreased and previously progressive pulmonary abnormalities stabilized, and for P FARSB , liver function improved. The instable FARS protein, as evidenced by severely reduced enzyme activity upon minimal increase over physiological temperature Fig. Because ARS deficiencies were only recently discovered, it is difficult to relate treatment effects to the natural disease course. While protein fortification alone caused some improvements, the need for treatment with the corresponding amino acid was evidenced by improved effects after leucine instead of erroneous isoleucine supplementation in P LARS , and by transient clinical deterioration during two-week delivery failure of isoleucine in P IARS.

| Amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia | Not all TPN fed infants will get abnormal results, but if they do, we ask that a repeat newborn screening sample be collected 48 hours after the TPN has been discontinued. Feeding Effect: Protein feeding is helpful in detecting the condition as it challenges the metabolic pathways involved and causes the identifying markers to elevate above the normal cutoff levels allowing detection of the disorder. The optimum collection time for the newborn screening sample is between 24 and 48 hours after birth, and sufficient protein feeding has taken place by then. This includes TPN feeding, which contains amino acids. Treatment: Treatment of these disorders is accomplished with dietary restriction of the offending amino acid s and sometimes medication. Urea cycle disorders will require treatment with low protein diets and medications to prevent hyperammonemia and remove toxic compounds. Infants with neonatal presentations of a urea cycle disorders represent medical emergencies and outcomes may be variable. These patients typically require aggressive treatment with hemodialysis.

Initial Screen the red form or Repeat Screen the green form. Normal: The final newborn screening reports are mailed to the submitter and physician of record. Low Risk: Repeat the newborn screen. If, however, the infant is sick or displays signs of metabolic distress, the physician may wish to conduct diagnostic testing instead of, or in addition to the repeat screen. Defects in the synthesis pathways of amino acids have only been discovered in recent years and are relatively unknown to most clinicians. In this chapter disorders neurological symptoms caused by genetic defects in the synthesis of the amino acids serine, glutamine and proline are discussed. Patients with serine deficiency invariably suffer from severe neurological symptoms such as microcephaly, psychomotor retardation and intractable seizures. The same is true for patients with a defect in the synthesis of glutamine who present with hypotonia and epileptic encephalopathy. Patients with a disorder in the synthesis proline have mental retardation in combination with symptoms of connective tissue disease. |
