The Impact

Tylenchulus semipenetrans is an economically important plant-parasitic nematode occurring in all citrus-producing regions of the world and causing a disease called “slow decline”. Chemical nematicides commonly used in agriculture have ecotoxicological effects. As a control method, attention has been paid to bio-nematicides that do not exhibit harmful effects on the ecosystem. In this study we will carry out the in scilico experiments in order to find the most coherent Enzyme-Ligand complex to lead to the best inhibitors of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase in Citrus Tylenchulus semipenetrans nematode. “Acetyl CoA Carboxylase” enzyme responsible for fatty acid synthesis in Tylenchulus semipenetrans, its alteration disrupting the synthesis of the surface layer, this inhibitory action is based on essential oils of aromatic plants, taking as an example the Lamiaceae family, using natural compounds extract from essential oils of Salvia verbenaca, Lavandula stoechas, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Thymus ciliatus. This study revealed for the first time that ?-phellandrène from Salvia verbenaca gives the best docking scores compared to Biotine, the co-crystallized inhibitor of the Acetyl CoA Carboxylase, to spirotetramat as chemical insecticide already used against citrus nematode, and to the other complexes. After that, the Molecular Dynamics Simulation study showed a good result for the ?-phellandrène- Acetyl CoA Carboxylase docked complex, for that we can consider that ?-phellandrène extracted from Salvia verbenaca’s essential oil as a functional inhibitor of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase activities and it can be used as good bio-nematicides against Tylenchulus semipenetrans.

1. The effect of nutritional status on fatty acid synthesis in brown adipose tissue was compared with the effect of cold-exposure. Fatty acid synthesis was measured in vivo by 3H2O incorporation into tissue lipids. The activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase and the tissue concentrations of malonyl-CoA and citrate were assayed. 2. In brown adipose tissue of control mice, the tissue content of malonyl-CoA was 13 nmol/g wet wt., higher than values reported in other tissues. From the total tissue water content, the minimum possible concentration was estimated to be 30 microM 3. There were parallel changes in fatty acid synthesis, malonyl-CoA content and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in response to starvation and re-feeding. 4. There was no correlation between measured rates of fatty acid synthesis and malonyl-CoA content and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in acute cold-exposure. The results suggest there is simultaneous fatty acid synthesis and oxidation in brown adipose tissue of cold-exposed mice. This is probably effected not by decreases in the malonyl-CoA content, but by increases in the concentration of free long-chain fatty acyl-CoA or enhanced peroxisomal oxidation, allowing shorter-chain fatty acids to enter the mitochondria independent of carnitine acyltransferase (overt form) activity.

Abstract Withaferin A (WA) is a promising phytochemical exhibiting in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities against prostate and other cancers, but the mechanism of its action is not fully understood. In this study, we performed RNA-seq analysis using 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cell line to identify mechanistic targets of WA. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed most significant enrichment of genes associated with metabolism. These results were validated using LNCaP and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells and Hi-Myc transgenic mice as models. The intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA, total free fatty acids and neutral lipids were decreased significantly following WA treatment in both cells, which was accompanied by downregulation of mRNA (confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) and protein levels of key fatty acid synthesis enzymes, including ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, fatty acid synthase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A. Ectopic expression of c-Myc, but not constitutively active Akt, conferred a marked protection against WA-mediated suppression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 and fatty acid synthase protein expression, and clonogenic cell survival. WA was a superior inhibitor of cell proliferation and fatty acid synthesis in comparison with known modulators of fatty acid metabolism including cerulenin and etomoxir. Intraperitoneal WA administration to Hi-Myc transgenic mice (0.1 mg/mouse, three times/week for 5 weeks) also resulted in a significant decrease in circulating levels of total free fatty acids and phospholipids, and expression of ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, fatty acid synthase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A proteins in the prostate in vivo.

Chronic Ethanol Administration

Administration of ethanol as part of a nutritionally adequate liquid diet to female Wistar rats was found to depress markedly incorporation of labelled glucose into adipose-tissue acylglycerol fatty acids. Similar results with labelled pyruvate and acetate suggested inhibition of the fatty-acid-synthesis pathway at, or distal to, the acetyl-CoA carboxylase step. Activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase were markedly lower in ethanol-fed animals. The activity of another lipogenic enzyme, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, was not affected by chronic ethanol feeding. These findings suggest that chronic ethanol administration has marked effects on adipose-tissue lipogenesis.

The effect of vasopressin on the short-term regulation of fatty acid synthesis was studied in isolated hepatocytes from rats fed ad libitum. Vasopressin stimulates fatty acid synthesis by 30-110%. This increase is comparable with that obtained with insulin. Angiotensin also stimulates fatty acid synthesis, whereas phenylephrine does not. The dose-response curve for vasopressin-stimulated lipogenesis is similar to the dose-response curve for glycogenolysis and release of lactate plus pyruvate. Vasopression also stimulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Vasopressin does not relieve glucagon-inhibited lipogenesis, whereas insulin does. The action of vasopressin on hepatic lipogenesis is decreased, but not suppressed, in Ca2+-depleted hepatocytes. The results suggest that vasopressin acts on lipogenesis by increasing availability of lipogenic substrate (lactate + pyruvate) and by activating acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Amp Activated Protein Kinase

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) plays a critical role in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism and its two isoforms, ACCα and ACCβ, appear to have distinct functions in the control of fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation, respectively. They are regulated by similar short-term mechanisms of allosteric activation by citrate, and reversible phosphorylation and inactivation, and there is clearly interaction between these mechanisms. AMP-activated protein kinase is the important physiological ACC kinase for both isoforms and yet there is a potential physiological role for cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the hormonally mediated inactivation of ACCα, and phosphorylation of ACCβ in its unique N-terminus.
