BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACID-DEPENDENT AMINOTRANSFERASE
INHIBITORS AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF DIABETIC
RETINOPATHY
More than 14 million people in the United States have diabetes. All people with diabetes are at risk of retinal complications. However, people with type I, i.e., insulin- dependent diabetes, face a greater risk of severe vision loss than people with type IL. i.e. non-insulin dependent diabetes.
Retinopathy is any non-inflammatory disease of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy is any retinopathy associated with any form of diabetes mellitus.
Initially, the high blood glucose level in diabetic people causes an increase in growth factors in their eyes. This condition is known as the "pre-diabetic retinopathy stage" and can lead to full diabetic retinopathy, if not prophylactically treated.
Retinopathy will affect the majority of diabetic people to some extent during their lifetimes. It is the leading cause of blindness in Americans of age 20 to 74 today. and is expected to impair vision in approximately one-third of diabetic people in the United
States. Each year in the United States. as many as 40,000 new cases of blindness occur among diabetic people (CDC. unpublished data, 1993). Diabetic people are 25 times more likely than the general population to become blind due to retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy has two stages-a nonproliferative stage, which typically occurs first, and a proliferative stage. The nonproliferative stage, which is also referred to as "background diabetic retinopathy." is characterized by thickening of the basement membrane, loss of retinal pericytes, microvascular abnormalities, intraretinal microaneurysms, retinal hemorrhages (also known as "dot blot" hemorrhages), retinal edema, in particular diabetic macular edema, capillary closure associated with retinal ischemia or poor retinal perfusion (i.e., poor vessel development) and soft and hard exudates. The proliferative stage, which affects an estimated 700.000 Americans (Chen et al.. J. Miss. State Med. Assoc. 36(7): 201-208 (1995)), is characterized by neovascularization and fibrovascular growth (i.e., scarring involving glial and fibrous elements) from the retina or optic nerve over the inner surface of the retina or disc or into the vitreous cavity.
The proliferative stege can lead to rubeotic or neovascular glaucoma. Macular edema can occur in either stage and it, along with complications from retinal neovascularization, are the two major retinal problems that cause the diabetes-related vision loss.
While the pathological stages of diabetic retinopathy are well-described, the molecular events underlying diabetic retinopathy are poorly understood. This is due, in part, to the fact that the disease progresses over ten to thirty years, depending on a given individual.
Tight control of glycemia and hypertension and ophthalmic screening of diabetics appears beneficial in preventing the disease. Current treatment consists of regular observation by an ophthalmologist, laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy.
Macular edema threatening or involving the macular center is treated with focal macular photocoagulation. Small (50 mu in diameter). mild-intensity laser burns are targeted at areas of leakage in the macula (Murphy, Amer. Family Physician 51(4): 785- 796 (1995)). If the macular edema persists, retreatment may be necessary.
Patients with severe to very severe nonproliferative retinopathy and patients, who are at high risk for proliferative retinopathy or who already have early or advanced . proliferative retinopathy, are treated with scatter or panretinal photocoagulation.
Panretinal photocoagulation involves 1,500-2.000 laser burns. which are 500 mu in . diameter, in the midperipheral and peripheral portion of the retina (Murphy (1995), supra).
The best-documented biochemical mechanism for the development of microvascular complications of diabetes is the sorbitol pathway. In the sorbitol pathway. the enzyme aldose reductase catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, and of galactose to galactitol. Aldose reductase has a low substrate affinity for glucose.
Accordingly, when glucose concentrations are normal, the pathway is inactive. During hyperglycemia, the sorbitol pathway becomes active. Activation of the sorbitol pathway is important for retinal pericytes. for example. which do not require insulin for glucose penetration. Similarly, retinal capillary cells appear to contain substantial amounts of aldose reductase (Ferris, Hospital Practice: 79-89 (May 15, 1993).
Given the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. there remains a need for an effective prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of the disease. Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a method of prophylactically and therapeutically
Toe ae SNS OF pe . -3- treating diabetic retinopathy, including treatment 4t thé pre:diabetic retinopathy stage, the nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy stage, and the proliferative diabetic retinopathy stage. This and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided herein.
The present invention is directed to a method for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of diabetic retinopathy, including treatment at the pre-diabetic retinopathy stage, the nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy stage, and the proliferative diabetic retinopathy stage. The method comprises the administration of an inhibitor of the branched chain amino acid-dependent aminotransferase pathway. Preferably. the inhibitor of the branched chain amino acid-dependent aminotransferase pathway (BCAT) is a compound of Formulas 1, 11, and/or III: . Re oR . X (CHa)n . Fes (CH,)m . es Ri

The present invention is predicated on the discovery that intraocular glutamate injection causes ganglion cell loss which is related to the early stages of diabetic retinopathy (Vorwerk et al. IOVS 37:1618-1624 (1996)) and that an inhibitor of the branched chain amino acid-dependent aminotransferase pathway, such as gabapentin for example, is effective in inhibiting the synthesis of glutamate, thus preventing diabetic retinopathy. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of diabetic retinopathy, including treatment at the pre-diabetic retinopathy stage, the nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy stage. and the proliferative diabetic retinopathy stage. By "prophylactic" is meant the protection, in whole or in part, against diabetic retinopathy, in particular diabetic macular edema. By "therapeutic" is meant the amelioration of diabetic retinopathy, itself, and the protection. in whole or in part, against further diabetic retinopathy, in particular diabetic macular edema.
The method comprises the administration of an inhibitor of the branched chain amino acid-dependent aminotransferase pathway in an amount sufficient to treat the : retina for retinopathy prophylactically or therapeutically. Any inhibitor of the branched : chain amino acid-dependent aminotransferase pathway can be used in the method of the present invention as long as it is safe and efficacious.

A thorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery oo Systems,” Vol 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug
Design. ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon
Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. In general. a prodrug is . a drug which has been chemically modified and may be biologically inactive at its site of action, but which may be degraded or modified by one or more enzymatic or other in vivo processes to the parent bioactive form.
A therapeutically effective amount is an amount of a compound of Formulas I, 11, or 111, that when administered to a patient, ameliorates a symptom of the disease.
The BCAT inhibitor, which is preferably a compound of Formulas I, II, and/or I11. a BCAT pathway-inhibiting analogue of Formulas I, 11. and/or 111. a BCAT pathway- inhibiting prodrug of Formulas I, 11, and/or III. or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing. can be administered in accordance with the present inventive method by any suitable route. Suitable routes of administration include systemic, such as orally or by injection, topical, intraocular, periocular (e.g.. subTenon's), subconjunctival, subretinal, suprachoroidal and retrobulbar. The manner in which the BCAT inhibitor is administered is dependent, in part, upon whether the treatment of retinopathy is prophylactic or therapeutic. The manner in which the BCAT inhibitor is administered for therapeutic treatment of retinopathy is dependent, in part, upon the cause of the retinopathy. . For example, given that diabetes is the leading cause of retinopathy, the BCAT inhibitor can be administered prophylactically as soon as the pre-diabetic retinopathy state is detected. For the prophylactic treatment of retinopathy that can result from diabetes, the BCAT inhibitor is preferably administered systemically, e.g., orally or by injection. For the therapeutic treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, the - BCAT inhibitor can be administered systemically, e.g.. orally or by injection, or intraocularly. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy can be therapeutically treated by the administration of the BCAT inhibitor intraocularly, topically, subconjunctivally or : periocularly (e.g., subTenon's). for example. The BCAT inhibitor is preferably administered intraocularly, topically, subconjunctivally or periocularly (e.g.. subTenon's) for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of retinopathy before, during or after surgical removal from an eye of scar tissue generated during neovascularization during the proliferative diabetic stage.
The BCAT inhibitor is preferably administered as soon as possible after it has : been determined that an animal, such as a mammal, specifically a human, is at risk for ; retinopathy (prophylactic treatment) or has begun to develop retinopathy (therapeutic treatment). Treatment will depend, in part, upon the particular BCAT inhibitor used, the ) amount of the BCAT inhibitor administered, the route of administration, and the cause and extent. if any, of retinopathy realized.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that suitable methods of administering a
BCAT inhibitor, which is useful in the present inventive method, are available. Although more than one route can be used to administer a particular BCAT inhibitor, a particular route can provide a more immediate and more effective reaction than another route.
Accordingly, the described routes of administration are merely exemplary and are in no way limiting.
The dose administered to an animal, particularly a human, in accordance with the present invention should be sufficient to effect the desired response in the animal over a reasonable time frame. One skilled in the art will recognize that dosage will depend upon a variety of factors, including the strength of the particular BCAT inhibitor employed, the age. species, condition or disease state, and body weight of the animal, as well as the amount of the retina about to be affected or actually affected by retinopathy. The size of
) t WO 01/42191 Ses PCT/US00/30769 the dose also will be determined by the route, timing and frequency of administration as well as the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects that might accompany the administration of a particular BCAT inhibitor and the desired physiological effect. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that various conditions or disease states, in particular, chronic conditions or disease states, may require prolonged treatment involving multiple administrations.
Suitable doses and dosage regimens can be determined by conventional range- finding techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally. treatment is initiated with smaller dosages, which are less than the optimum dose of the compound.
Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. The present inventive method will typically involve the administration of from about 1 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably from about mg/kg/day to about 50 mg/kg/day, if administered systemically. Intraocular 5 administration typically will involve the administration of from about 0.1 mg total to 15 about 5 mg total, preferably from about 0.5 mg total to about I mg total. A preferred concentration for topical administration is 100 mu M.
Compositions for use in the present inventive method preferably comprise a . pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an amount of a BCAT inhibitor sufficient to treat i retinopathy prophylactically or therapeutically. The carrier can be any of those conventionally used and is limited only by chemico-physical considerations, such as solubility and lack of reactivity with the compound. and by the route of administration. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that, in addition to the following described pharmaceutical compositions, the BCAT inhibitor can be formulated as polymeric compositions, inclusion complexes. such as cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. liposomes, microspheres, microcapsules and the like (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,997.652, 5.185.152 and 5,718,922).
The BCAT inhibitor can be formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts for use in the pharmaceutical composition include those derived from mineral acids, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, metaphosphoric, nitric and sulfuric acids, and organic acids, such as tartaric. acetic, citric. malic. lactic, fumaric, benzoic, glycolic, gluconic. succinic, and arylsulphonic, for example p-toluenesulphonic, acids.
The pharmaceutically acceptable excipients described herein, for example, vehicles, adjuvants, carriers or diluents, are well-known to those who are skilled in the art . and are readily available to the public. It is preferred that the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier be one which is chemically inert to the BCAT inhibitor and one which has no detrimental side effects or toxicity under the conditions of use.
The choice of excipient will be determined in part by the particular BCAT . inhibitor, as well as by the particular method used to administer the composition. ; Accordingly, there is a wide variety of suitable formulations of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The following formulations are merely exemplary and are in no way limiting.
Injectable formulations are among those that are preferred in accordance with the present inventive method. The requirements for effective pharmaceutically carriers for injectable compositions are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art (see
Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy Practice, J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia, Pa., Banker and
Chalmers, eds., pages 238-250 (1982), and ASHP Handbook on Injectable Drugs,
Toissel, 4th ed., pages 622-630 (1986)). It is preferred that such injectable compositions : be administered intramuscularly, intravenously, or intraperitoneally, .
Topical formulations are well-known to those of skill in the art. Such formulations are suitable in the context of the present invention for application to the skin.

The effectiveness of an orally administered drug is dependent upon the drug’s efficient transport across the mucosal epithelium and its stability in entero-hepatic circulation. Drugs that are effective after parenteral administration but less effective orally. or whose plasma half-life is considered too short, may be chemically modified ar . into a prodrug form. i 15 Formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non- st , aqueous, isotonic sterile injection solutions, which can contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the - . intended recipient, and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that can include © - suspending agents, solubilizers. thickening agents, stabilizers, and preservatives. The - 20 - inhibitor can be administered in a physiologically acceptable diluent in a pharmaceutical carrier, such as a sterile liquid or mixture of liquids. including water, saline. aqueous dextrose and related sugar solutions, an alcohol, such as ethanol. isopropanol, or hexadecyl alcohol, glycols, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, dimethylsulfoxide, glycerol ketals, such as 2.2-dimethyl-1.3-dioxolane-4-methanol, ethers, such as poly(ethyleneglycol) 400, an oil. a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester or glyceride, or an acetylated fatty acid glyceride, with or without the addition of a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, such as a soap or a detergent, suspending agent, such as pectin, carbomers, methylcellulose. hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. or carboxymethylcellulose, or emulsifying agents and other pharmaceutical adjuvants. Oils, which can be used in parenteral formulations include petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic oils. Specific examples of oils include peanut, soybean. sesame, cottonseed. corn, olive, petrolatum, and mineral.
Suitable fatty acids for use in parenteral formulations include oleic acid, stearic acid, and isostearic acid. Ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate are examples of suitable
A fatty acid esters.
Suitable soaps for use in parenteral formulations include fatty alkali metals, ammonium, and triethanolamine salts, and suitable detergents include (a) cationic detergents such as, for example, dimethyl dialkyl ammonium halides. and alkyl pyridinium halides, (b) anionic detergents such as, for example, alkyl, aryl, and olefin sulfonates, alkyl, olefin, ether, and monoglyceride sulfates. and sulfosuccinates, (c) nonionic detergents such as, for example. fatty amine oxides, fatty acid alkanolamides, and polyoxyethylenepolypropylene copolymers, (d) amphoteric detergents such as, for example, alkyl-p-aminopropionates, and 2-alkyl-imidazoline quaternary ammonium salts, and (e) mixtures thereof.
The parenteral formulations will typically contain from about 0.5 to about 25% by weight of the active ingredient in solution. Preservatives and buffers may be used. In order to minimize or eliminate irritation at the site of injection, such compositions may contain one or more nonionic surfactants having a hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) of from about 12 to about 17. .
The quantity of surfactant in such formulations will typically range from about 5 to about 15% by weight. Suitable surfactants include polyethylene sorbitan fatty acid . esters, such as sorbitan monooleate and the high molecular weight adducts of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base. formed by the condensation of propylene oxide with propylene glycol. The parenteral formulations can be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, such as ampules and vials, and can be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid excipient, for example, water, for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets of the kind previously described.
Such compositions can be formulated as intraocular formulations, sustained- release formulations or devices (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3.378.475). For example, gelantin, chondroitin sulfate, a polyphosphoester, such as bis-2-hydroxyethyl- terephthalate (BHET), or a polylactic-glycolic acid (in various proportions) can be used to formulate sustained-release formulations. Implants (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,443,505, 4.853.224 and 4.997,652), devices (see, e.g.. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5.554.187, 4.863.457.

The present inventive method also can involve the co-administration of other pharmaceutically active compounds. By "co-administration” is meant administration before, concurrently with, e.g., in combination with the BCAT inhibitor in the same formulation or in separate formulations, or after administration of a BCAT inhibitor as described above. For example, corticosteroids, e.g., prednisone. methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, or triamcinalone acetinide, or noncorticosteroid anti-inflammatory compounds, such as ibuprofen or flubiproben. can be co-administered. Similarly, vitamins and minerals, e.g.. zinc, anti-oxidants. e.g.. carotenoids (such as a xanthophyll carotenoid like zeaxanthin or lutein), and micronutrients can be co-administered.

EXAMPLE 66: Summary
Using an ex vivo model of freshly dissected rat retinas. the mechanisms by which brain glutamate levels are maintained within normal limits in neural tissue was investigated. Anaplerotic glutamate synthesis may be important to replenish glutamate oxidized in the glia following neurotransmission. Points of rate control through this de novo pathway were identified as pyruvate carboxylation and branched chain amino transamination. To test the relationship between glutamate synthesis and pyruvate carboxylase activity, synthesis of "*C-glutamate plus "*C-glutamine from H"*CO; was measured as a function of medium pyruvate. Increasing pyruvate from 0.2 to 5 mM increased the '*C-amino acid synthesis by 66 + 15%. The specific radioactivity of glutamine relative to that of H'*COj after 20 minutes of incubation indicated that =30% of glutamine in the retina is derived from bicarbonate fixation. To test the dependence of glutamate synthesis on availability of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) as a source of nitrogen, the effect of inhibiting the neuronal branched chain aminotransferase (BCATc) was measured. Gabapentin (GBP) (1 mM), a selective inhibitor of BCATc in neurons, inhibited synthesis of '*C-glutamate plus “C-glutamine from H"“CO; by 31% without slowing H"*CO; incorporation into lactate and citric acid cycle intermediates. Inhibition of de novo glutamate synthesis was reversed by addition of 0.6 mM BCAA. The data indicated that pyruvate carboxylase and branched chain aminotransferase share rate control of de novo glutamate synthesis in the retina, and that de novo glutamate synthesis is quantitatively important for maintenance of retinal glutamate levels.
Methods
Experimental animals .
Sprague Dawley rats (200-400g) were used for all experiments. Rats were housed under a 12 hour light/dark cycle, and fed and watered ad libidum. After anaesthetizing the rats with-nembutal (IP), eyes were enucleated and retinas dissected in ice-cold buffer.
CO, fixation
Freshly isolated half-retinas were preincubated at 37°C for 3 minutes in buffer A (pH 7.4) containing 118 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 2.5 mM CaCl, 1.2 mM KH,PO,, 1.17 mM MgSO,, 20 mM HEPES, 5 mM glucose, 0.05 mM NH,Cl and 25 mM NaH "CO.
Pyruvate (either 0.2 or SmM) was also included in the buffer. 1 ml buffer as well as the gas phase within 20 ml vials were equilibrated with 95% O,, 5% CO. Incubations were initiated by addition of 10 uCi/m! H'*CO;. The vessels were then immediately closed to the atmosphere. Most incubations continued for 20 minutes, although in some preliminary studies, times were varied from 10-60 minutes. Reactions were stopped by removing the half retinas from the buffer and placing them in 2% perchloric acid. The buffer was separately acidified with perchloric acid (final concentration 2%) and unreacted '*CO, was allowed to diffuse out of the acidified samples.
The total amount of product (non-volatile carbon 14 metabolites) was determined by measuring the radioactivity in aliquots of the medium and tissue samples. Metabolites in the extracts were separated by Dowex-1 acetate chromatography as previously described: Williamson, J.R.. and Corkey. B. (1969) “Methods in Enzymology”. Vol. 13. ed. Lowenstein, J.M. (Academic Press) pp 434-513. and quantified by scintillation counting. In most instances, individual metabolite carbon 14 data is reported as the sum of the radioactivity in the medium plus tissue extracts. Complete quantification of Me- . metabolite amounts in both the retina and in the medium can be found below in Tables and II.
Data not shown in the results and discussion sections where collected in the course of carrying out the evaluation of the influences of pyruvate on HCO; fixation in the retina. Figure 2 shows only the effect of pyruvate on the sum glutamate plus glutamine and the sum pyruvate plus lactate. Table I provides values for all metabolites that became labeled with H'*COj; and their compartmentation.
Likewise additional data. not shown in the results and discussion sections. were collected in evaluating the influence of gabapentin. Thus Table II is an expansion of the data shown in Figure 4. and provides values for all metabolites labeled with H"*CO; and their compartmentation.

The chromatographic procedure employed in this example separates glutamine, glutamate, aspartate, and lactic acid. The citric acid cycle intermediates remain on the
Dowex columns and are estimated as the difference between the total counts in the sample and the counts that are eluted. Evidence of the validity of this procedure has been reported previously. Before subjecting samples to chromatography, "C-pyruvic acid in the samples was converted stoichiometrically to lactate by treating the samples with excess NADH and lactate dehydrogenase. Therefore the single lactate peak reported contains all carbon 14 in both lactate and pyruvate. To determine specific activity of glutamate and glutamine in the retinal samples, the mass amount of the glutamate was measured fluorometrically using a standard enzymatic procedure: Patel, M.S. (1989) in
Neuromethods: Carbohydrate and Energy Metabolism, Vol II, eds. Boulton, A.A and
Baker G.D. (The Humana Press, Inc.) pp 309-340. The mass amount of glutamine was measured after chromatographic separation from glutamate followed by a luminometric determination previously described. ATP and creatine phosphate were measured fluorometrically using an enzymatic assay.
Retinal protein was determined using the DC protein assay (Bio-Rad, Richmond,
CA, USA). Each half retina contained about 0.4 mg protein.
Pyruvate Carboxylase Assay
Pyruvate carboxylase activity was assayed in fresh samples of whole brain and excised retinas. The method described by Patel Patel, M.S. (1989) in Neuromethods:
Carbohydrate and Energy Metabolism, Vol 11, eds. Boulton. A.A and Baker G.D. (The
Humana Press, Inc.) pp 309-340, was used and involves measuring '*CO, fixation under : optimal conditions in sonicated tissue.
Western Blot
SDS-PAGE was performed as described Patel, M.S. (1989) in Neuromethods:
Carbohydrate und Energy Metabolism. Vol 1], eds. Boulton, A.A and Baker G.D. (The
Humana Press, Inc.) pp 309-340, using 10% gels. For immunoblotting, protein were transferred to Immobilon P membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA and incubated with immunoaffinity purified rabbit anti-rat BCATc peptide antibody (1:1000 dilution) or immunoaffinity purified rabbit anti-human BCATm peptide antibody (1:1000 dilution). The immunoreactive protein bands were visualized using the ECL system according to manufacturer’s instructions (Amersham, Arlington Heights, IL, USA).
Calculations and Statistics
Data are reported in text and figures by determining the dpm/mg in a particular metabolite and dividing by the specific activity of medium HCO. Therefore all data are reported as nmoles of H'*CO;/mg protein for any given metabolite.
Results are reported as the mean + standard error of the mean. Statistical significance was judged by paired t-test and a p<0.05. Numbers of independent determinations (n) are provided in figure and table legends.
RESULTS
Pyruvate carboxylase levels are similar in retina and whole brain
Patel demonstrated that pyruvate carboxylase is the major CO, fixing enzyme in the adult rodent brain. To judge whether this might also be true in the retina, the activity of pyruvate carboxylase at 37°C in sonicates from neocortex was compared with those from the retina. The neocortex levels (2.9 + 0.1 nmoles H"“CO; fixed/min/mg) were - similar to those found in sonicated retinal tissues (3.4 £ 0.4 nmoles H “co, fixed/min/mg), indicating that pyruvate carboxylase was just as active in retina as whole brain.
Rates of both '*CO, fixation and "C-glutamate appearance are a function of pyruvate levels in the retina
In preliminary experiments retinas were incubated with 0.2 mM pyruvate as described in methods for 10, 20, 40 and 60 minute periods. Total "*CO, was monitored as well as ATP and creatine phosphate levels. ATP and creatine phosphate levels remained constant as a function of time, demonstrating that oxygenation and pH control were adequate throughout. Total CO; fixation (5.50 + 0.14 nmoles/mg protein) peaked between 20 and 40 minutes, but was already 76% of maximal (4.2 + 0.1 nmoles/mg) at 10 minutes. Since ATP (20 # 0.2 nmoles/mg) and creatine phosphate (16 + 1.1] nmoles/mg) levels were high and did not change with time, this peak indicated that the rate of CO, fixation was constant, but that continuous breakdown of non-volatile carbon 14 products to CO; + H,O produced a near steady state level of glutamate and glutamine specific radioactivity by 20 minutes.
To assess the control of pyruvate carboxylation over glutamate synthesis. retinas were incubated with either 0.2 or 5 mM pyruvate in the medium and intracellular and extracellular metabolites analyzed. The total '*CO, fixed in 20 minutes in the presence of 0.2 mM pyruvate was 5.27 + 0.45 nmoles H'*CO3/mg, whereas that fixed in the presence of 5 mM pyruvate was 9.50 + 0.74 nmoles H'*COy/mg. Figure 2 shows that increasing unlabelled pyruvate from 0.2 to 5 mM increases the sum “C-glutamate plus "*C- glutamine (from 1.74 + 0.19 102.90 + 0.31 nmoles/mg. p<0.005). Figure 2 also shows that the higher pyruvate incubation increases the "“C-lactate plus '*C-pyruvate values. Thus, at steady state, an increase in pyruvate concentration from 0.2 to 5 mM increased incorporation of H'*CO; into glutamate and glutamine by 66% whereas the increase in pyruvate increased H'*CO; incorporation into pyruvate and lactate by 111%. The carbon 14 cycled into pyruvate and lactate represents glial recycling through pyruvate carboxylase, malic enzyme and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and for the first time demonstrates active citric acid cycle decarboxylation in intact neural tissue.
These data show that an increase in flux through pyruvate carboxylase induces an increase in de novo synthesis of retinal glutamate. A somewhat larger increase in pyruvate recycling occurs simultaneously.
A large fraction of total glutamine synthesis is derived from pyruvate carboxylation
The importance of pyruvate carboxylation as a source for replenishing the glutamate released from retinal nerve endings during neuronal transmission was assessed by determining the specific radioactivity of glutamine in retinal tissue incubated with medium containing H'*CO;. A fixed proportion of glutamine synthesis in retina derives from unlabelled glutamate released by neurons and taken up by Miiller glia. The remainder comes from glial o-ketoglutarate synthesized anaplerotically from pyruvate and "*CO,. Therefore, the specific radioactivity of glutamine relative to the specific activity of H'*CO; provides a minimal value for the proportion of glutamine derived from anaplerosis. The product of pyruvate carboxylase in the glia is [1,4-'*C)-oxaloacetate.
Both the 1 and 4 positions are labelled because the carbon 14 initially incorporated into : the 4-C position of oxaloacetate is randomized between the 1 and 4 positions by equilibration of oxalacetate with symmetrical fumarate. The labelled oxaloacetate condenses with pyruvate to form citrate, which is then isomerized to isocitrate. [1,4-"*C]- ~ isocitrate is oxidized and decarboxylated to [5-'*C] a-ketoglutarate by isocitrate dehydrogenase. Therefore the a-ketoglutarate synthesized anaplerotically has approximately half of the specific radioactivity of the original substrate H'*CO;, depending on the degree of randomization of the label in oxaloacetate. This is also true of the glutamine synthesized from the [5-"*C) o-ketoglutarate.
The specific activity of glutamine was measured in the retinal tissue extracts i incubated with 0.2 mM pyruvate and HCO; for 10, 20, 40 and 60 minutes. Only the tissue glutamine (not medium) is reported. Specific radioactivity of glutamine in the tissue was constant between 10 and 60 minutes. After 20 minutes of incubation the mass
T WO 01/42191 PCT/US00/30769 amount of glutamine in the tissue was 4.50 + 0.44 nmoles/mg, and its specific radioactivity was 1970 £ 115 dpm/nmol or 0.158 + 0.009 dpm/nmol of the bicarbonate specific activity. This indicates that about 32% of the glutamine was produced by anaplerosis and pyruvate carboxylase.
The specific radioactivity of retinal glutamate (269 + 8 dpm/nmol) was lower than that of glutamine and also constant as a function of time from 10-60 min. It was only 14% of the specific activity of glutamine. This suggests that glutamate metabolic turnover in the neurons is rapid with respect to anaplerotic synthesis. However. since neuronal glutamate turnover cannot replenish the glutamate carbon skeleton lost during neurotransmission. the anaplerotic pathway is of prime importance in maintaining : neuronal glutamate levels. The present data show unequivocally that the anaplerotic pathway provides a large (=32%) proportion of the glutamine required for glutamate oo replenishment.
Synthesis of retinal glutamate and glutamine is partially dependent on branched : 15 chain amino acid transamination i Recent studies of glutamate synthesis in cultured astrocytes suggested that the conversion of a-ketoglutarate to glutamate could act as a rate-controlling step in anaplerotic synthesis of glutamate. Several groups have indicated that the a-amino group of glutamate cannot be supplied as ammonia and must therefore be supplied by transamination of a-ketoglutarate with another amino acid: Kanamori, K., Ross. B.D., and Kondrat, RW. (1998) J. Neurochem. 70. 1304-1315, Laemmli, U.K. (1970) Nature 227, 680-885, including our own Haberg. A., Qu, H., Bakken. 1.J.. Sande. L.M.. White,

Branched chain amino acids are likely nitrogen contributors since they can cross the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers efficiently. Hutson and coworkers have proposed that a nitrogen shuttle between neurons and glia which involves branched chain amino acids and two BCAT isoenzymes, one in neuronal cytosol (BCATc) and one in glial mitochondria (BCATm) can also provide the needed nitrogen: Hutson, S.M.,
Berkich, D., Down, P., Xu, B., Aschner, M., and LaNoue, K.F. (1998) J Neurochem. 71, 863-874. According to this hypothetical shuttle, neuronal BCATc facilitates glial
BCATm conversion of a-ketoglutarate to glutamate by providing BCAA regenerated in the neurons (cf Figure 1).
As a first step toward investigating the role of the BCAT isoenzymes in de novo glutamate synthesis in the retina, immunoblotting with BCATm and BCATc specific antibodies was used to determine whether the BCAT isoenzymes are expressed in rat retina. As shown in Figure 3, both BCATc and BCATm are expressed in the retina at levels that are comparable to those found in whole brain homogenates. Therefore, freshly dissected rat retina is an appropriate intact neural system in which to test the concept of nitrogen shuttling between neurons and glia. :
The leucine analog gabapentin (GBP) is a neuroactive drug which inhibits :
BCATc, but not BCATm: Su, T.-Z., Lunney, E., Campbell, G., Oxender, D.L. (1995) J.
Neurochem. 64, 2125-2131. It was confirmed that GBP inhibits the synthesis of leucine in freshly dissected rat retinas (data not shown). The effect of GBP on the synthesis of "C-glutamate plus "*C-glutamine from H'*COj in ex vivo rat retinas was then measured.
As shown in Figure 4, 1 mM GBP reduced formation of "*C-glutamate plus "*C- glutamine to 71% of control values (2.26 0.05 versus 3.18 + 0.12 nmol/mg, p<0.001).
Addition of 200 uM each of leucine, isoleucine and valine reversed the inhibition to 89% of control (2.84£1.15 nmol/mg, p<0.01 versus GBP alone). There was no effect of GBP on either ATP or creatine phosphate indicating that the GBP did not impair retinal bioenergetic processes. The small increase in incorporation of carbon 14 into lactate and citric acid cycle intermediates (from 1.93 + .06 to 2.12 + 0.13) due to the presence of 1 mM GBP was not significant. Incorporation of the label into all of the metabolites is shown in Table II.
Further experiments were carried out to investigate dose/response properties of
GBP. Freshly dissected retinas were incubated for 20 minutes in buffer A containing either 0, 0.2, 1, or 5 mM GBP. As shown in Figure 5, increasing the concentration of
GBP over 1 mM did not significantly increase the extent of its inhibition of the synthesis of '*C-glutamate plus '*C-glutamine from H'*CO;. Again GBP has no influence on formation of citric acid cycle intermediates, lactate and pyruvate (Figure 5). This supports the proposal that the site of GBP inhibition of glutamate synthesis is the BCAT mediated conversion of a-ketoglutarate to glutamate.
Discussion oo The studies described evaluated mechanisms for maintenance of CNS glutamate levels. Previous studies showed that glutamine synthetase is required in retinas and | hippocampal slices to maintain levels of neuronal glutamate: Su. T.-Z.. Lunney, E.,
Campbell, G.. Oxender, D.L. (1995) J. Neurochem. 64, 2125-2131.
Immunocytochemical measurements indicate that 90% or more of retinal and whole brain glutamate is neuronal and that inhibition of glutamine synthetase for 90 minutes depletes the neuronal glutamate pool to negligible levels: Ottersen, O.P.. Zhang, N., and Walberg,
F. (1992) Neurosci. 46, 519-534. This demonstrated that glutamine synthetase is required for maintenance of neuronal glutamate. Although glutamate can be synthesized in neurons from a-ketoglutarate, lack of pyruvate carboxylase or another anaplerotic enzyme prevents replenishment of a-ketoglutarate, and thus, precludes net glutamate synthesis within the neurons except from glutamine via glutaminase.
In this example the sources and control of glutamine synthesis was investigated by incubating excised retinas with H'*CO; and measuring the appearance and specific radioactivity of C-glutamine and "*C-glutamate. More "C-glutamine is synthesized in the presence of 5 mM pyruvate than in the presence of 0.2 mM. This indicates that pyruvate carboxylase activity influences the rate of glutamine synthesis. However, lack of sensitivity of this control is demonstrated by the observation that when pyruvate is increased from 0.2 mM to 5 mM the magnitude of the increase in pyruvate carboxylase flux (80.3%) is not directly translated into an equivalent increase in "C-glutamate plus “C-glutamine (69.0%). Flexibility of the control is provided by the potential for citric acid cycle decarboxylation and pyruvate recycling. The pyruvate dependence of total
H'*CO; fixation in retinal tissue was similar to that seen in cultured isolated astrocytes:
Gamberino, W.C., Berkich, D.A., Lynch, C.J., Xu, B., and LaNoue, K.F (1997) J.
Neurochem. 69, 2312-2325. However, in astrocytes, which have no way to regenerate endogenous BCAA used to transaminate a-ketoglutarate, the pyruvate-induced increases in CO; fixation were not translated into increases in '*C-glutamate and "C-glutamine levels. Instead, the carbon 14 accumulated solely in citric acid cycle intermediates and into “recycled” pyruvate.
In the retinal studies reported here, the specific radioactivity of glutamine at steady state was 0.158 of the bicarbonate specific activity. Since, approximately half of the '*C incorporated into oxalacetate is retained in a-ketoglutarate, the results show that ~ 32% of the glutamine is derived from H"* CO. This is the first direct estimate of the contribution of anaplerosis to glutamine synthesis in a neuronal tissue. Previous estimates have been indirect, and involved isotopomer analysis of NMR spectra following infusion of PC glucose (3-5, 11-13) into intact brains. Estimates of the contribution of pyruvate carboxylation to glutamine synthesis using these NMR methods have been lower than the present one, and range from less than 1% (3) to 5-10% (4,5) to 20-25%: Shank, R.P.,
Bennet, G.S.. Freytag, S.O., and Campbell. G.L. (1985) Brain Res. 329, 364-367,
Griffen, J.L., Rae, C., Radda, G.K., and Matthews, P.M. (1999) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1450, 297-307, depending largely on initial assumptions of the mathematical models employed. The present results suggest that glial pyruvate carboxylation and the conversion of citric acid cycle intermediates to glutamate and glutamine are likely to be quantitiatively important for retinal function and possibly for whole brain function.
The observation that GBP slows the conversion of citric acid cycle intermediates to glutamine and glutamate strongly suggests that neuronal synthesis of BCAA by
BCATc is necessary for optimal rates of amination of a-ketoglutarate to glutamate. A reasonable scheme for their involvement in this process is shown in Figure 1.
The results, which demonstrate inhibition of '*C-glutamate and '*C-glutamine synthesis from H'“CO, by GBP and reversal of the inhibition by BCAA. are consistent with the described shuttle. The hypothesis also provides a possible explanation for the oo anti-epileptic action of GBP: Taylor, C.P., Gee, N.S., Su, T.Z.. Kocsis. J.D.. Welty. D.F.,
Brown, J.P.. Dooley, D.J.. Boden, P., Singh. L. (1998) Epilepsy Res. 29, 233-249.
Indeed, decreased glutamate synthesis is a common action of GBP and the anti-epileptic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: Hazen, S.A.. Waheed. A., Sly, W.S., LaNoue, K.F.,
Lynch, C.J. (1997) Dev. Neurosci. 19, 162-171. Also, Maple Syrup Urine Disease, the hereditary ailment caused by a mutation of the gene for branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase, if untreated induces high serum BCAA in patients and subsequent neurological abnormalities: Chuang, D.I. and Shih, V.E. (1995) in The Metabolic Basis of
Inherited Disease, eds. Schriver. C.R., Beaudet, A.L., Sly, S.. and Vaile. D. (McGraw-
Hill) pp. 1239-1277, which may be related to abnormal regulation of glutamate synthesis.
Finally. the implications of nitrogen shuttling during glutamate synthesis must be studied further in light of the efficacy of GBP in the treatment of neuropathic pain: Ottersen,
O.P.. Zhang, N., and Walberg, F. (1992) Neurosci. 46, 519-534 and neurodegeneration.
