Case Report: Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase II (CPT II) Deficiency

Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase II (CPTII) is a very important enzyme that helps with the oxidation of long-chain fatty acid to produce energy. Deficiency in CPTII will lead to energy deficiency in the case of fasting and the accumulation of the long chain fatty in the body. There are three types of CPT II deficiency, the myopathic form, the severe infantile hepatocardiomuscular form and the lethal neonatal form. They are all inherited as an autosomal recessive. Diagnosis of the CPTII are 1) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in adult form and 2) CPTII polymorphism (F352C), which is linked to reducing the activity of CPTII in infantile form [1]. Glucose is the primary management and medium-chain fatty acid is an alternative due to the bypass of the CPTII enzyme in the pathway. For the prevention of CPTII deficiency are to avoid long chain fatty acid (C12-fatty acid), fasting, prolonged exercise, known triggers, and certain medications such as anti-epileptics and general anesthesia. During the rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria attack, it is very important to maintain hydration to avoid acute renal failure. If, however, renal failure occurs, dialysis is recommended. We present a case of a 27-year-old African American woman with the significant past medical history of CPT II deficiency leading to recurrent rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria. Together with all the research studies from diagnosis to treatment of CPTII deficiency will help in clinical management of patients. And this case report will add to the existing case reports of patients who have CPTII deficiency in terms of how we diagnose, how we treat, and how we prevent symptoms from re-occurring.

Combining Metabolomics and Gene Expression Analysis Reveals that Propionyl- and Butyryl- Carnitines Are Involved in Late Stages of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

The arbuscular mycorrhizal （AM） symbiosis is a widespread mutualistic association between soil fungi （Glomeromycota） and the roots of most plant species. AM fungi are obligate biotrophs whose development is partially under the control of their plant host. We explored the possibility to combine metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches to find putative mycorrhiza-associated metabolites regulating AM fungal development. Methanol extracts of Medicago truncatula roots colonized or not with the AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis were analyzed and compared by ultra- high-performance liquid chromatography （UHPLC）, high-resolution mass spectrometry （Q-TOF）, and multivariate statisti- cal discrimination. We detected 71 mycorrhiza-associated analytes exclusively present or at least 10-fold more abundant in mycorrhizal roots. To identify among these analytes those that could regulate AM fungal development, we fraction- ated by preparative and semi-preparative HPLC the mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal root extracts and established how the 71 analytes were distributed among the fractions. Then we tested the activity of the fractions on germinating spores of R. irregularis by quantifying the expression of 96 genes known for their diverse in planta expression patterns. These investigations reveal that propionyl- and butyryl-carnitines accumulated in mycorrhizal roots. The results suggest that these two molecules regulate fungal gene expression in planta and represent interesting candidates for further biologi- cal characterization.

Enantiomeric Resolution on L-Carnitine Selective Polymers Prepared by Molecular Imprinting

L-carnitine selective polymers were prepared by molecular imprinting using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The acid function of the monomer is expected to form hydrogen bond and ionic interactions with the amine function of the target molecule L-carnitine. The imprinted polymers were used as stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was shown that L-carnitine imprinted polymer exhibited a higher affinity to its template molecule, while the non-imprinted polymer had no affinity to the compounds tested. Racemic carnitine hydrochloride was efficiently resolved on the L-carnitine imprinted polymer, and the separation factor is 1.9.

茉莉酸在L-谷氨酸诱导的番茄果实抗性中的作用

为解析植物激素茉莉酸在化学激发子L-谷氨酸诱导抗性机制中的作用,以番茄果实为对象,经0.1 mg/mL L-谷氨酸和0.1 mmol/L茉莉酸甲酯处理后接种链格孢菌孢子悬浮液,观察果实的发病率。采用实时荧光定量PCR方法从转录水平上分析L-谷氨酸对果实茉莉酸合成路径和信号路径上关键基因表达的影响。结果显示:番茄果实经L-谷氨酸处理后其发病率较对照组下降了35%,而在茉莉酸甲酯处理组中,L-谷氨酸与对照组发病率无显著差异;茉莉酸路径上编码脂氧合酶、丙二烯氧化物合酶、丙二烯氧化物环化酶、冠菌素不敏感蛋白1、转录因子MYC2和蛋白酶抑制剂PI-II的基因不同程度地被L-谷氨酸下调表达,同时茉莉酸信号路径的负调控因子JAZ1则被诱导上调表达。综上,在番茄果实与链格孢菌互作中,L-谷氨酸可能通过抑制果实的茉莉酸路径来调控对病原菌的防御反应,这解析了L-谷氨酸作为激发子响应病原菌侵染的抗性机制,也为其商业化应用提供理论依据。

Mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase-Ⅱ dysfunction: A possible novel mechanism for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in hepatocarcinogenesis

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)or metabolic-associated fatty liver disease has been characterized by the lipid accumulation with injury of hepatocytes and has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases in the world.The complex mechanisms of NAFLD formation are still under identification.Carnitine palmitoyltransferase-Ⅱ(CPT-Ⅱ)on inner mitochondrial membrane(IMM)regulates long chain fatty acidβ-oxidation,and its abnormality has had more and more attention paid to it by basic and clinical research in NAFLD.The sequences of its peptide chain and DNA nucleotides have been identified,and the catalytic activity of CPT-Ⅱ is affected on its gene mutations,deficiency,enzymatic thermal instability,circulating carnitine level and so on.Recently,the CPT-Ⅱ dysfunction has been discovered in models of liver lipid accumulation.Meanwhile,the malignant transformation of hepatocyte-related CD44^(+) stem T cell activation,high levels of tumor-related biomarkers(AFP,GPC3)and abnormal activation of Wnt3a expression as a key signal molecule of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway run parallel to the alterations of hepatocyte pathology.This review focuses on some of the progress of CPT-Ⅱ inactivity on IMM with liver fatty accumulation as a possible novel pathogenesis for NAFLD in hepatocarcinogenesis.
