Secondary metabolic derangements may occur in cultured fibroblasts with a defined enzyme deficiency. The metabolism of cells deficient of pyruvate dehydrogenase (5% of normal) has been studied using radioactive labelled substrates. Compared to normal control cells the activity of glycolysis was 149% (P less than 0.001), pentose phosphate shunt 144% (P less than 0.01), citric acid cycle 80% (P less than 0.002), and oxidation of acetate was 30% (P less than 0.01). The oxidation of palmitate and octanoate were not significantly different from that of control cells. Metabolic studies on fibroblasts may serve as a useful screening procedure for the detection of enzyme defects, but the results should be cautiously interpreted with respect to the localization of the primary defect.
在具有特定酶缺陷的培养成纤维细胞中可能会发生继发性代谢紊乱。已使用放射性标记底物研究了丙酮酸脱氢酶缺乏(为正常水平的5%)的细胞的代谢情况。与正常对照细胞相比,糖酵解活性为149%(P<0.001),磷酸戊糖途径为144%(P<0.01),柠檬酸循环为80%(P<0.002),乙酸氧化为30%(P<0.01)。棕榈酸和辛酸的氧化与对照细胞无显著差异。对成纤维细胞的代谢研究可作为检测酶缺陷的有用筛查程序,但对于原发性缺陷的定位,应谨慎解释结果。
