Queuine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Queuine is a selective substrate for tRNA guanine transglycosylase (TGT) and can be incorporated into eukaryotic tRNA. Queuine promotes tRNA modification, affecting mitochondrial function and Warburg metabolic phenotype. If Queuine is deficient, aerobic glycolysis can be enhanced, oxidative phosphorylation can be inhibited, and Warburg metabolism can be promoted, accompanied by increased ammonia and lactate production and increased lactate dehydrogenase activity. Queuine can be used for autoimmune diseases (such as experimental models of multiple sclerosis) and cancer metabolic regulation, and its deficiency is associated with low tRNA modification in tumor cells.

Actividad biológica
Queuine (1 μM; 5 days, supplemented every 24 h) reduces lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in HeLa cells compared to the queuine group and limits glucose consumption and lactate production. In the absence of queuine, cells exhibits Warburg-type metabolic characteristics[2].
Queuine is a natural substrate of TGT and irreversibly replaces guanine (G34) in tRNA by human TGTase[2].
Queuine is a modified pyrrolopyrimidine nucleoside synthesized only by bacteria. It irreversibly replaces guanine (G34) in the tRNA anticodon loop by eukaryotic tRNA guanine transglycosylase (TGT) to form queuosine nucleotides, which specifically modify tRNA isoacceptors corresponding to aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine and tyrosine[3].
Queuine's biological activity is reflected in the following aspects: Queuine deficiency is a characteristic of rapidly proliferating cells (such as tumor cells and activated T cells in autoimmune diseases), and it can regulate cell metabolism by affecting the accuracy of tRNA translation, such as promoting Warburg-type metabolism (enhancing aerobic glycolysis and inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation)[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Queuine (30 mg/kg, 100 μL; intraperitoneal injection; once a day; 5 days) has no significant effect on the EAE score of the mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model, but reduces the tRNA low modification level of splenocyte CD4+ T cells[3].
TGT substrate design based on Queuine (such as 6-thioguanine 6TG, novel synthetic substrate NPPDAG) shows significant therapeutic effects in the mouse EAE model. NPPDAG selectively inhibits effector T cell proliferation and central nervous system infiltration through TGT-mediated tRNA modification, reduces the release of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-17 and IFN-γ), and completely reverses the clinical symptoms of EAE mice. It is ineffective in TGT-deficient mice, confirming the TGT-dependent therapeutic mechanism[3].
