Description of 2-Oxosuccinic acid

2-Oxosuccinic acid is an α-keto acid that reacts with acetyl-CoA and water to form citrate in the first step of the citric acid cycle and is regenerated by oxidation of L-malate in the last step[1]. 2-Oxosuccinic acid is a metabolic intermediate formed by the carboxylation of pyruvate in mitochondria, followed by decarboxylation and phosphorylation to form phosphoenolpyruvate[2]. 2-Oxosuccinic acid can effectively inhibit succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) at a concentration of 5µM[3]. 2-Oxosuccinic acid has a neuroprotective effect and reduces brain and blood glutamate levels by activating the blood-resident enzyme glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase [4].

In vitro, 2-Oxosuccinic acid (50mM) treatment of HepG2 cells for 12h and 24h significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expression of HIF1α and c-myc, reduced Akt phosphorylation, and inhibited the Akt/HIF pathway in cells[5]. 2-Oxosuccinic acid (10 mM) treatment of LO-2 cells for 24 h can remove ROS, reduce oxidative damage caused by H2O2, maintain the integrity of mitochondrial structure, and increase ATP production[6].

In vivo, 2-Oxosuccinic acid (10 mg/kg) was used to treat paraquat-poisoned mice by intraperitoneal injection for 3 days, which significantly improved the survival rate of mice, alleviated the poisoning state, reduced the wet weight/dry weight ratio of the mouse lungs, and reduced the pathological damage of lung tissues[7].

Protocol of 2-Oxosuccinic acid

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HepG2 cells

Preparation Method

HepG2 cells were treated 50mM 2-Oxosuccinic acid for 1, 12, and 24 h. The mRNA expression and protein expression of HIF1α and c-myc were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blot. 

Reaction Conditions

50mM; 1, 12, and 24 h

Applications

The mRNA and protein expressions of HIF1α and c-myc were decreased in HepG2 cells treated with 2-Oxosuccinic acid for 12 and 24 h.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Mice were randomly divided into four groups with six in each group: 1) control group, mice received saline solution; 2) Paraquat (PQ) group, mice received PQ (50mg/kg); 3) protection group, 2-Oxosuccinic acid (10mg/kg) was intraperitoneal injection into mice for three consecutive days, and PQ (50 mg/kg) was injected 1 h after the last day of 2-Oxosuccinic acid administration; 4) 2-Oxosuccinic acid group, mice received 2-Oxosuccinic acid (10mg/kg) for three consecutive days. The mice were killed at 48 h after PQ injection, and their serum, lung tissues, alveolar lavage fluid were collected for further analyses.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

2-Oxosuccinic acid significantly improved survival and alleviated the state of mice following PQ poisoning, reduced the wet/dry weight ratio of mice lungs, reduced PQ-induced histopathological damage to lung tissues.
