Abstract

Pyruvate serves as a key metabolite in energy production and as an anti-oxidant. In our previous study, exogenous pyruvate starvation under high-glucose conditions induced IMS32 Schwann cell death because of the reduced glycolysis–tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Thus, this study focused on poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to investigate the detailed molecular mechanism of cell death. Rucaparib, a PARP inhibitor, protected Schwann cells against cell death and decreased glycolysis but not against an impaired TCA cycle under high-glucose conditions in the absence of pyruvate. Under such conditions, reduced pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity and glycolytic and mitochondrial ATP production were observed but not oxidative phosphorylation or the electric transfer chain. In addition, rucaparib supplementation restored glycolytic ATP production but not PDH activity and mitochondrial ATP production. No differences in the increased activity of caspase 3/7 and the localization of apoptosis-inducing factor were found among the experimental conditions. These results indicate that Schwann cells undergo necrosis rather than apoptosis or parthanatos under the aforementioned conditions. Exogenous pyruvate plays a pivotal role in maintaining the flux in PARP-dependent glycolysis and the PARP-independent TCA cycle in Schwann cells under high-glucose conditions.
