INTRODUCTION

Deuterium (2H) is the heavy stable non-radiating

isotope of hydrogen (1H) that carries one extra

neutron in the atomic nucleus. Therefore

deuterium’s atomic mass is ~ twice of that of 1H.

Hydrogen atoms of water participate in virtually

all ion exchange and substrate product

transport reactions through the cell membrane

and hydrogen also acts as the reducing equivalent

in energy producing as well as reductive

macromolecule synthesis reactions in all living

cells. Deuterium is also involved in epigenetic

events (changes in gene activity that are not

caused by changes in the DNA sequence).

Deuterium depletion of water in cell culture

media or body fluids temporarily decelerates cell

growth in vitro and induces tumor regression in

vivo.

The exact mechanism and the effects of deuterium

depletion on mammalian cell intermediary

metabolism are not fully know.

HYPOTHESES

Deuterium incorporation from common water into DNA

increases its fragility thus accelerates mutations, aging

and cancer.

Deuterium affects the kinetics of reductive synthesis and

the generation of NADP+ thus altering membrane fatty

acid and cholesterol synthesis.

Deuterium alters tricarboxylic acid cycle and

intermediary metabolism by altering carbon flow and the

rate of product synthesis and energy production.

Deuteration of DNA with adjacent nuclear membrane

structures is an important epigenetic event directly

involved in driving oncogenesis to alter gene expression,

replication and growth.

AIM

To determine metabolic flux-modifying effects of

deuterium depleted water (DDW: 100, 50 and 25 ppm) as

compared to normal deuterium-containing water (150

ppm) on [1,2-13C2]-D-glucose metabolism in cultured

pancreatic (MIA-PaCa), lung (H-441) and breast (MCF-7)

ductal carcinoma cells.

METHODS

After 72 hours of incubation with the [1,2-13C2]-D-glucose tracer in

DDW we analyzed its uptake and contributions to lactate

production, glycolysis, RNA ribose, glycogen, cholesterol and long

chain fatty acid synthesis as well as TCA cycle glutamate and 13CO2

release using GC/MS.

RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS

Metabolic profiles of tumor cells after 72 hours of DDW treatment

• Deuterium depleted water (DDW) did not significantly alter

glucose uptake, oxidation and glycogen synthesis in any of the cell

lines (Figure 1).

• Pentose cycle flux relative to glycolysis decreased in MIA-PaCa

cells (Figure 2).

• RNA ribose synthesis and turnover also decreased in Mia-PaCa

cells after 25 ppm treatment (Figure 3).

• TCA cycle substrate flux decreased in MCF-7 breast tumor cells

(Figure 4).

• Lignocerate (C:24) and palmitate syntheses were decreased in

MIA-PaCa cells and cholesterol synthesis was decreased in MCF-

7 breast tumor cells (Figure 5).

• Based on this data decreased deuterium to hydrogen ratios regulate sterol and fatty acid precursor synthesis, which likely affects the

rate of divisions and cellular proliferation via the regulation of reductive synthesis and new membrane formation.

• Deuterium depletion in cytoplasmic water may control cancer formation similarly as low deuterium containing mitochondrial matrix

metabolic water use for reductive synthesis, which is the natural intracellular deuterium depleting mechanism to control epigenetic

DNA deuteration as the time requiring event during oncogenesis for mammalian cells.

• Deuterium depletion in water and food may have a well defined role in cancer prevention and to improve public health.
