The present invention relates to the use of methyl pyruvic acid (a methyl ester of pyruvic acid) and/or methyl pyruvate (methyl pyruvate is the ionized form of methyl pyruvic acid) for the purpose of increasing cellular energy production thereby providing energy for the continuous activation of PARP-1 and up-regulation of PPAR. It is well known that chronic activation of PARP causes ATP and NAD depletion with concomitant cell death. PARP is known to prevent HIV replication by competitive receptor inhibition. Use of methyl pyruvate and/or methyl pyruvic acid can be effective when administered orally or infused on either a chronic and/or acute basis. In the following text, the terms “methyl pyruvate, methyl pyruvate compounds, methyl pyruvic acid” are used interchangeably.

Oxygen toxicity is one of the major risk factors in the development of the chronic lung disease or bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants. Using proteomic analysis, we discovered mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (mtALDH or ALDH2) was down-regulated in neonatal rat lung after hyperoxic exposure. To study the role of mtALDH in hyperoxic lung injury, we overexpressed mtALDH in human lung epithelial cells (A549) and found that mtALDH significantly reduced hyperoxia-induced cell death. Compared to control cells (Neo-A549), the necrotic cell death in mtALDH overexpressing cells (mtALDH-A549) decreased from 25.3% to 6.5%, 50.5% to 9.1% and 52.4% to 15.06% after 24-, 48- and 72-hour hyperoxic exposure, respectively. The levels of intracellular and mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mtALDH-A549 cells after hyperoxic exposure were significantly lowered compared to Neo-A549 cells. mtALDH overexpression significantly stimulated extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation under normoxic and hyperoxic conditions. Inhibition of ERK phosphorylation partially eliminated the protective effect of mtALDH in hyperoxia-induced cell death, suggesting ERK activation by mtALDH conferred cellular resistance to hyperoxia. mtALDH overexpression augmented Akt phosphorylation and maintained the total Akt level in mtALDH-A549 cells under normoxic and hyperoxic conditions. Inhibition of PI3K activation by LY294002 in mtALDH-A549 cells significantly increased necrotic cell death after hyperoxic exposure, indicating that PI3K/Akt activation by mtALDH played an important role in cell survival after hyperoxia. Taken together, these data demonstrate that mtALDH overexpression attenuates hyperoxia-induced cell death in lung epithelial cells through reduction of ROS, activation of ERK/MAPK and PI3K/Akt cell survival signaling pathways.
