ABSTRACT
42
The extensive metabolism of amino acids (AA) as fuel is an important reason for the low
43
use efficiency of protein in pigs. In this study, we investigated whether regulation of the
44
pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK)/pyruvate dehydrogenase alpha 1 (PDHA1)
45
pathway affected AA consumption by porcine intestinal epithelial (IPEC-J2) cells and
46
intestinal bacteria in pigs. The effects of knockdown of PDHA1 and PDK1 with small
47
interfering RNA (siRNA) on nutrient consumption by IPEC-J2 cells were evaluated.
48
IPEC-J2 cells were then cultured with sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) to quantify AA and
49
glucose consumption and nutrient oxidative metabolism. The results showed that
50
knockdown of PDHA1 using siRNA decreased glucose consumption but increased total
51
AA (TAA) and glutamate (Glu) consumption by IPEC-J2 cells (P < 0.05). Opposite
52
effects were observed using siRNA targeting PDK1 (P < 0.05). Additionally, culturing
53
IPEC-J2 cells in the presence of 5 mM DCA markedly increased the phosphorylation of
54
PDHA1 and PDH phosphatase 1, but inhibited PDK1 phosphorylation (P < 0.05). DCA
55
treatment also reduced TAA and Glu consumption and increased glucose depletion (P
0.05; Fig. 3F).
257
Culturing intestinal (cecal) bacteria with DCA increased glucose consumption but reduced
258
TAA and Glu consumption (P < 0.05; Fig. 3G). The GDH2 activity in intestinal bacteria
259
was decreased by DCA addition (P < 0.05), whereas GDH1 activity in intestinal bacteria
260
was increased (P < 0.05; Fig. 3H).

Discussion
263
The activity of PDH is closely related to glucose metabolism.39,40 PDK is an inhibitor of
264
PDH and a key regulatory enzyme in glucose metabolism.41–43 PDK activation inhibits
265
PDH, decreasing the contribution of glucose oxidation to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)
266
cycle.44 The regulatory role of PDH/PDK in glucose metabolic homeostasis has been
267
extensively studied in cancer cells.41 The results in this study showed that siRNA targeting
268
PDHA1 decreased glucose consumption by IPEC-J2 cells, but increased TAA and Glu
269
consumption. Moreover, siRNA targeting PDK1 had opposite effects on glucose, TAA, and
270
Glu consumption by cells. Glucose and AAs, which are important sources of cellular
271
energy, compete and interact with each other.45,46 The capacity for tissues or organs to
272
preferentially utilize glucose and AA as fuels and to be able to rapidly switch between them
273
is termed metabolic flexibility. The results in this study indicated that regulating PDH was
274
indeed an appropriate measure for controlling cellular glucose and AA catabolism in the
275
intestinal epithelial cells of pigs.
276
Having established that PDH was a suitable target, we then successfully reprogrammed
277
AA and glucose metabolism in IPEC-J2 cells using DCA. Specifically, we found that
278
culturing IPEC-J2 with 5 mM DCA facilitated PDH activity in the cells by decreasing the
279
phosphorylation of PDK1 and enhancing the phosphorylation of PDP1, thereby leading to a
280
metabolic shift from AA to glucose/pyruvate oxidation and a decrease in AA consumption

281
by cells. DCA, which is an inhibitor of PDK,47 binds to the N-terminal domain of PDK and
282
promotes conformational changes, leading to the inactivation of kinase activity and
283
reactivating glucose oxidation.48 DCA addition also caused increases in mRNA and protein
284
expression of GLUT1 and GLUT4 in cells, indicating that DCA increased the uptake of
285
glucose from culture medium. These changes were consistent with the results of glucose
286
oxidation and consumption. Culturing cells with DCA had no effect on the intracellular
287
concentrations of citric acid, oxalacetic acid, fumaric acid, and malic acid, suggesting that
288
DCA did not change the supply of metabolites in the TCA cycle, despite causing a
289
metabolic shift in cells from AA to glucose/pyruvate oxidation. We also observed that
290
culturing intestinal bacteria with DCA increased glucose consumption but reduced TAA
291
and Glu consumption. Among AAs, Glu is the most important contributor to intestinal
292
oxidative energy metabolism;49 GDH1 is responsible for catalyzing α-ketoglutarate to Glu,
293
whereas GDH2 has the opposite role. In this study, changes in GDH2 and GDH1 activities
294
in intestinal bacteria in response to DCA addition were consistent with the results of AA
295
consumption by intestinal bacteria. In contrast to IPEC-J2 cells, we only measured the
296
effects of DCA on the consumption of glucose and AAs by intestinal bacteria and the
297
GDH2 and GDH1 activities in intestinal bacteria, and did not detect the expression (or
298
phosphorylation) of PDK and PDH following treatment with DCA. The influences of PDK
299
and PDHA1 knockdown on glucose and AA catabolism in bacteria were also not measured
300
because the components of fecal bacteria are very complex, making such samples

301
unsuitable for these analyses. Our findings are consistent with previous studies showing
302
that DCA treatment enhanced pyruvate flux into the mitochondria and promoted glucose
303
oxidation.48,50
304
DCA, which is a mitochondria-targeting small molecule that can penetrate most tissues
305
after oral administration,51 has been used to treat congenital lactic acidosis in mitochondrial
306
diseases for over 30 years.52–56 In addition, DCA was found to reverse the Warburg effect
307
and induce apoptosis in tumor cells by increasing the flux of pyruvate into the
308
mitochondria and promoting glucose oxidation.47,51 DCA is a generic agent that is both
309
inexpensive and safe for human use;52,54–56 indeed, DCA does not induce renal, pulmonary,
310
hepatic, bone marrow, or cardiac toxicity.55 Most of the side effects of DCA are mild, with
311
the most serious side effect being reversible peripheral neuropathy.57 Because of its safety
312
and low price, DCA should be suitable for use in a low-protein diet to improve the
313
efficiency of AA use and reduce porcine nitrogen excretion.
314
In conclusion, our data suggested that the PDK/PDH axis was a regulatory target for
315
shifting AA oxidation to pyruvate/glucose metabolism. Culturing cells with DCA increased
316
PDHA1/PDP1 phosphorylation while inhibiting PDK1 phosphorylation. Addition of DCA
317
also reduced AA consumption by test cells and intestinal bacteria while increasing glucose
318
depletion. The results indicate that DCA may be suitable as a dietary additive to decrease
319
nitrogen excretion by increasing glucose depletion.
