Description of Coenzyme A

Coenzyme A is an indispensable cofactor in living cells, synthesized from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and cysteine [1]. As an acyl carrier and carbonyl activating group, Coenzyme A plays a crucial role in the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle and the metabolism of carboxylic acids (including short-chain and long-chain fatty acids) [2]. Abnormalities in the biosynthesis and homeostasis of Coenzyme A and its derivatives are associated with various human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration [3].

In vitro, supplementing Coenzyme A (25μM; 30 days) in the culture medium can significantly restore the function and mitochondrial respiratory activity of neuronal cells from patients with Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegenerative disease (PKAN), while inhibiting neuronal death and ROS formation [4]. Coenzyme A (1mM; 30min) can completely inhibit the activity of peroxiredoxin 5 (Prdx5), and this inhibitory state can be relieved by dithiothreitol (DTT) reduction [5].

Protocol of Coenzyme A

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human neuronal precursors cells and neurons (NPCs)

Preparation Method

NPCs from Pantothenate kinase‐associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) patients were seeded on Matrigel‐coated wells and differentiated in medium containing Neurobasal, BDNF (10ng/ml), NT‐3 (10ng/ml), B27, P/S, and doxycycline (2μg/ml). A final concentration of 25μM Coenzyme A was added to treat the cells. Coenzyme A was resuspended in a Neurobasal medium and stored at −20°C. Fresh medium containing Coenzyme A (25μM) was added every 2 days to the cells undergoing treatment. Measure the mitochondrial membrane potential, ROS, the morphology of dendritic branches, and determine the activity of aconitase in neurons.

Reaction Conditions

25μM; 30 days

Applications

Supplementation of Coenzyme A in the culture medium can significantly restore the function of neurons related to PKAN disease and the mitochondrial respiratory activity, preventing neuronal death and ROS formation.
