毒理性
2-羟基戊二酸是一种癌代谢物。它是多种依赖于α-酮戊二酸的二氧合酶的竞争性抑制剂,包括组蛋白去甲基化酶和5-甲基胞嘧啶(5mC)羟基化酶的TET家族。因此,2-羟基戊二酸高水平会导致全基因组组蛋白和DNA甲基化改变,进而导致最终引发癌症的突变。L-2-羟基戊二酸通过激活N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体介导其神经毒性。L-2-羟基戊二酸的 结构与兴奋性氨基酸谷氨酸相似,并通过谷氨酸、NMDA或线粒体毒素(A15198)的已知机制刺激神经退行。
2-hydroxyglutarate is an oncometabolite. It is a competitive inhibitor of multiple α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and the TET family of 5-methlycytosine (5mC) hydroxylases. As a result, high levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate lead to genome-wide histone and DNA methylation alterations, which in turn lead to mutations that ultimately cause cancer. L-2-hydroxyglutarate mediates its neurotoxicity through activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. L-2-hydroxyglutarate is structurally similar to the excitatory amino acid glutamate and stimulates neurodegeneration by mechanisms well-known for glutamate, NMDA or mitochondrial toxins (A15198).
