Default Massive Glutamine Cyclization to Pyroglutamic Acid in Human Serum Discovered Using NMR Spectroscopy.

Massive Glutamine Cyclization to Pyroglutamic Acid in Human Serum Discovered Using NMR Spectroscopy.

Anal Chem. 2015 Mar 8;

Abstract
Glutamine is one of the most abundant metabolites in blood and is a precursor as well as end product central to numerous important metabolic pathways. A number of surprising and unexpected roles for glutamine, including cancer cell glutamine addiction discovered recently, stress the importance of accurate analysis of glutamine concentrations for understanding its role in health and numerous diseases. Utilizing a recently developed NMR approach that offers access to an unprecedented number of quantifiable blood metabolites, we have identified a surprising glutamine cyclization to pyroglutamic acid that occurs during protein removal. Intact, ultrafiltered and protein precipitated samples from the same pool of human serum were comprehensively investigated using 1H NMR spectroscopy at 800 MHz to detect and quantitatively evaluate the phenomenon. Interestingly, while glutamine cyclization occurs in both ultrafiltered and protein precipitated serum, the cyclization was not detected in intact serum. Strikingly, due to cyclization, the apparent serum glutamine level drops by up to 75% and, concomitantly, the pyroglutamic acid level increases proportionately. Further, virtually under identical conditions, the magnitude of cyclization is vastly different for different portions of samples from the same pool of human serum. However, the sum of glutamine and pyroglutamic acid concentrations in each sample remains the same for all portions. These unexpected findings indicate the importance of considering the sum of apparent glutamine and pyroglutamic acid levels, obtained from the contemporary analytical methods, as the actual blood glutamine level for biomarker discovery and biological interpretations.
