Synthesis of glycine from 4-hydroxyproline in tissues of neonatal pigs with intrauterine growth restriction
This study tested the hypothesis that the synthesis of glycine from 4-hydroxyproline (an abundant amino acid in milk and neonatal blood) was impaired in tissues of piglets with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), thereby contributing to a severe glycine deficiency in these compromised neonates. At 0, 7, 14, and 21 days of age, IUGR piglets were euthanized, and tissues (liver, small intestine, kidney, pancreas, stomach, skeletal muscle, and heart) were obtained for metabolic studies, as well as the determination of enzymatic activities, cell-specific localization, and expression of mRNAs for glycine-synthetic enzymes. The results indicated relatively low enzymatic activities for 4-hydroxyproline oxidase (OH-POX), proline oxidase, serine hydroxymethyltransferase, threonine dehydrogenase (TDH), alanine: glyoxylate transaminase, and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase in the kidneys and liver from 0- to 21-day-old IUGR pigs, in the pancreas of 7- to 21-day-old IUGR pigs, and in the small intestine and skeletal muscle (except TDH) of 21-day-old IUGR pigs. Accordingly, the rates of conversion of 4-hydroxyproline into glycine were relatively low in tissues of IUGR piglets. The expression of mRNAs for glycine-synthetic enzymes followed the patterns of enzymatic activities and was also low. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed the relatively low abundance of OH-POX protein in the liver, kidney, and small intestine of IUGR piglets, and the lack of OH-POX zonation in their livers. These novel results provide a metabolic basis to explain why the endogenous synthesis of glycine is insufficient for optimum growth of IUGR piglets and have important implications for improving the nutrition and health of other mammalian neonates including humans with IUGR.
