Excessive zinc influx may contribute to neuronal death after
certain insults, including transient global ischemia. In light of
evidence that levels of intracellular free Zn2+
associated with neurotoxicity may be sufficient to inhibit
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), experiments were
performed looking for reduced glycolysis and energy failure in cultured
mouse cortical neurons subjected to lethal Zn2+
exposure. As predicted, cultures exposed for 3-22 hr to 40 µM Zn2+ developed an early increase in
levels of dihydroxy-acetone phosphate (DHAP) and fructose
1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) and a progressive loss of ATP levels, followed
by neuronal cell death; furthermore, addition of the downstream
glycolytic substrate pyruvate to the bathing medium attenuated the fall
in ATP and neuronal death.
However, an alternative to direct Zn2+ inhibition of
GAPDH was raised by the observation that Zn2+
exposure also induced an early decrease in nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels, an event itself
capable of inhibiting GAPDH. Favoring this indirect mechanism of GAPDH
inhibition, the neuroprotective effects of pyruvate addition were
associated with normalization of cellular levels of
NAD+, DHAP, and FBP. Zn2+-induced
neuronal death was also attenuated by addition of the energy substrate
oxaloacetate, the activator of pyruvate dehydrogenase, dichloroacetate,
or the inhibitors of NAD+ catabolism, niacinamide or
benzamide. Acetyl carnitine, -keto butyrate, lactate, and
-hydroxy-butyrate did not attenuate Zn2+-induced
neurotoxicity, perhaps because they could not regenerate NAD+ or be used for energy production in the
presence of glucose.

pyruvate; niacinamide; energy depletion; PARS; ATP
