Genistein differentially inhibits postreceptor effects of insulin in rat adipocytes without inhibiting the insulin receptor kinase.

Genistein, an isoflavone putative tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was used to investigate the coupling of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation to four metabolic effects of insulin in the isolated rat adipocyte. Genistein inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner with an ID50 of 25 micrograms/ml and complete inhibition at 100 micrograms/ml. Genistein also prevented insulin's (10(-9) M) inhibition of isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis with an ID50 of 15 micrograms/ml and a complete effect at 50 micrograms/ml. The effect of genistein (25 micrograms/ml) was not reversed by supraphysiological (10(-7) M) insulin levels. In contrast, genistein up to 100 micrograms/ml had no effect on insulin's (10(-9) M) stimulation of either pyruvate dehydrogenase or glycogen synthase activity. We determined whether genistein influenced insulin receptor beta-subunit autophosphorylation or tyrosine kinase substrate phosphorylation either in vivo or in vitro by anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting. Genistein at 100 micrograms/ml did not inhibit insulin's (10(-7) M) stimulation of insulin receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation or tyrosine phosphorylation of the cellular substrates pp185 and pp60. Also, genistein did not prevent insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of partially purified human insulin receptors from NIH 3T3/HIR 3.5 cells or the phosphorylation of histones by the activated receptor tyrosine kinase. In control experiments using either NIH 3T3 fibroblasts or partially purified membranes from these cells, genistein did inhibit platelet-derived growth factor's stimulation of its receptor autophosphorylation. These findings indicate the following: (a) Genistein can inhibit certain responses to insulin without blocking insulin's stimulation of its receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation or of the receptor kinase substrate tyrosine phosphorylation. (b) In adipocytes genistein must block the stimulation of glucose oxidation and the antilipolytic effects of insulin at site(s) downstream from the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. (c) The inhibitory effects of genistein on hormonal signal transduction cannot necessarily be attributed to inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity, unless specifically demonstrated.     

Oxidation of exogenous glucose, sucrose, and maltose during prolonged cycling exercise.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether combined ingestion of two carbohydrates (CHO) that are absorbed by different intestinal transport mechanisms would lead to exogenous CHO oxidation rates of >1.0 g/min. Nine trained male cyclists (maximal O(2) consumption: 64 +/- 2 ml x kg body wt(-1) x min(-1)) performed four exercise trials, which were randomly assigned and separated by at least 1 wk. Each trial consisted of 150 min of cycling at 50% of maximal power output (60 +/- 1% maximal O(2) consumption), while subjects received a solution providing either 1.8 g/min of glucose (Glu), 1.2 g/min of glucose + 0.6 g/min of sucrose (Glu+Suc), 1.2 g/min of glucose + 0.6 g/min of maltose (Glu+Mal), or water. Peak exogenous CHO oxidation rates were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the Glu+Suc trial (1.25 +/- 0.07 g/min) compared with the Glu and Glu+Mal trials (1.06 +/- 0.08 and 1.06 +/- 0.06 g/min, respectively). No difference was found in (peak) exogenous CHO oxidation rates between Glu and Glu+Mal. These results demonstrate that, when a mixture of glucose and sucrose is ingested at high rates (1.8 g/min) during cycling exercise, exogenous CHO oxidation rates reach peak values of approximately 1.25 g/min.     

Exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates are elevated after combined ingestion of glucose and fructose during exercise in the heat.

The first purpose of this study was to investigate whether a glucose (GLU)+fructose (FRUC) beverage would result in a higher exogenous carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation rate and a higher fluid availability during exercise in the heat compared with an isoenergetic GLU beverage. A second aim of the study was to examine whether ingestion of GLU at a rate of 1.5 g/min during exercise in the heat would lead to a reduced muscle glycogen oxidation rate compared with ingestion of water (WAT). Eight trained male cyclists (maximal oxygen uptake: 64+/-1 ml.kg-1.min-1) cycled on three different occasions for 120 min at 50% maximum power output at an ambient temperature of 31.9+/-0.1 degrees C. Subjects received, in random order, a solution providing either 1.5 g/min of GLU, 1.0 g/min of GLU+0.5 g/min of FRUC, or WAT. Exogenous CHO oxidation during the last hour of exercise was approximately 36% higher (P<0.05) in GLU+FRUC compared with GLU, and peak oxidation rates were 1.14+/-0.05 and 0.77+/-0.08 g/min, respectively. Endogenous CHO oxidation was significantly lower (P<0.05) in GLU+FRUC compared with WAT. Muscle glycogen oxidation was not different after ingestion of GLU or WAT. Plasma deuterium enrichments were significantly higher (P<0.05) in WAT and GLU+FRUC compared with GLU. Furthermore, at 60 and 75 min of exercise, plasma deuterium enrichments were higher (P<0.05) in WAT compared with GLU+FRUC. Ingestion of GLU+FRUC during exercise in the heat resulted in higher exogenous CHO oxidation rates and fluid availability compared with ingestion of GLU and reduced endogenous CHO oxidation compared with ingestion of WAT.     

Translation of mRNA from rat-liver polysomes into tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan oxygenase in a protein-synthesizing system from wheat germ. Effects of cortisol on the translatable levels of mRNA for these two enzymes.

Messenger RNA was isolated from rat liver polysomes by phenol/chloroform extraction and subsequent oligo(dT)-cellulose chromatography. The mRNA was translated in a protein-synthesizing system in vitro derived from wheat germ. The system was optimized in respect to Mg2+ and K+. The presence of spermidine or spermine is necessary for the synthesis of polypeptides having molecular weights of over 20 000. In the absence of the bases only small molecular weight products are formed. The amount of protein synthesized is linearly dependent on the amount of mRNA added up to concentrations of 80 mug mRNA/ml. The synthesis of tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan oxygenase in the system in vitro has been demonstrated by specific immunoprecipitation and sodium-dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the precipitate with enzyme proteins as marker. The amount of specific product formed is linearly dependent on the amount of mRNA present. The amount of translatable tyrosine aminotransferase mRNA and tryptophan oxygenase mRNA increases after administration of hydrocortisone to adrenalectomized rats. At low doses of hormone (2 mg/100 g body weight) maximal values are observed at 4 h, control levels being reached at 6-8 h after hormone application. With higher doses of hydrocortisone (20 mg/100 g body weight) maximal values are attained at 6 h, tending to control levels 14 h after treatment. The enzyme activity curves are parallel to the mRNA curves, the peak of enzyme activity occurring 2 h after the peak of mRNA activity.     

Effects of genistein and lavendustin on reproductive processes in domestic animals in vitro

The aim of our experiments was to study the influence of genistein [tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor with estrogenic activity] and lavendustin A (TK inhibitor without estrogenic activity) on female reproductive processes in domestic animals in vitro. It was found that genistein (0.001–1 μg/ml) increased IGF-I release by cultured bovine and porcine granulosa cells, but decreased its secretion by rabbit granulosa cells (0.01–10 μg/ml). Genistein stimulated progesterone secretion by bovine and rabbit granulosa cells (at 0.01–10 μg/ml), estradiol output by rabbit granulosa cells (at 1 μg/ml) and porcine ovarian follicles (at 10 μg/ml), as well as cAMP production by bovine (at 0.001–1 μg/ml) and rabbit (at 1 μg/ml) granulosa cells. No effects of genistein (at 10 μg/ml) on PGF-2 alpha and progesterone release by porcine ovarian follicles were observed. Genistein significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated the reinitiation and completion of nuclear maturation of porcine oocytes (at 5 μg/ml), as well as the preimplantation development of rabbit zygotes (at 1 μg/ml). Lavendustin A (0.001–1 μg/ml) increased IGF-I release by bovine (but not by porcine) granulosa cells, cAMP release by bovine granulosa cells, and PGF-2 alpha output by porcine ovarian follicles (at 10 μg/ml). Lavendustin (at 1 μg/ml) had no significant effect on IGF-I release by porcine granulosa cells, on estradiol and cAMP output by rabbit granulosa cells, or on progesterone secretion by porcine follicles (at 10 μg/ml). Inhibitory actions of lavendustin (at 10 μg/ml) on estradiol secretion by porcine follicles were also found. Furthermore, lavendustin, like genistein, promoted the reinitiation and completion of meiosis in porcine oocytes. The present study demonstrates a predominantly stimulatory effect of TK inhibition on endocrine and generative processes in domestic animals. The majority of these effects are similar for both compounds, indirectly suggesting that their action is due to tyrosine kinase inhibition and protein kinase A-stimulation, rather than estrogenic activity.     

Upregulation of Respiratory Burst of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes By A Bleomycin Derivative, Peplomycin

The influence of peplomycin (PLM) on the respiratory burst of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) was investigated. Short-term (5 min) treatment of human PMN with 0.1μg/ml to 100μg/ml of PLM increased phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. PMN, as well as alveolar macrophages from rabbits treated with 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg of peplomycin per day for 5 days, generated more superoxide (O₂^-) than the cells from untreated rabbits. In both PLM-treated and untreated PMN, chemiluminescence induced by FMLP and PMA was decreased to less than 50% of the control by staurosporine, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. However, the peak intensity in PLM-untrcated PMN was decreased to about 30% of the control by genislein, while this agent induced a slight decrease in peak intensity in the PLM-treated PMN. Inositol triphosphate and diacyl glycerol levels were not clearly increased by PLM, but an increase of intracellular Ca and a shift of protein kinase C (PKC) to the membrane occurred in PMN within 1 min after PLM treatment. Western blotting revealed that the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 115 kDa protein was upregulated by 5 to 50μg/ml of PLM. While, PLM suppressed SOD activity in alveolar macrophages and PMN. These results seem to indicate that PLM increases the respiratory burst of PMN and macrophages both by way of direct PKC activation and by the upregulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. This increased reactive oxygen generation, together with the suppression of SOD activity seems to be tissue-impairing.     

Spectrofluorimetric study on fluorescence quenching of tyrosine and l‐tryptophan by the aniracetam cognition enhancer drug: quenching mechanism using Stern–Volmer and double‐log plots

A novel approach on fluorescence quenching of tyrosine and l ‐tryptophan is presented for spectrofluorimetric determination of aniracetam in drug substances and products. The quenching mechanism was investigated using Stern–Volmer plots and ultraviolet spectra figures of quencher–fluorophore mixtures. Binding constant and stoichiometry were calculated using double‐log plots. The spectrofluorimetric method was optimized for the experimental conditions affecting fluorescence quenching including fluorophore concentration, diluent, and reaction time. Moreover, the pH‐rate profile of aniracetam was studied using simple kinetics and found to be stable within the pH range 5–8. Fluorescence quenching of tyrosine and l ‐tryptophan were observed on addition of aniracetam in aqueous medium at pH 5.5–6.5. Aniracetam quenched the fluorescence of tyrosine and l ‐tryptophan in the concentration range 1–20 μg/ml and 0.3–20 μg/ml, respectively, with binomial relationships between quenching values (ΔF) and aniracetam concentration. Limits of detection were found to be 0.10 μg/ml for tyrosine–aniracetam and 0.14 μg/ml for l ‐tryptophan–aniracetam. Method validation was performed as per ICH guidelines and demonstrated that the developed spectrofluorimetric method was accurate, precise, specific, and suitable for analysis of aniracetam in routine quality control laboratories. All experimental materials and solvents used are eco‐friendly, indicating that the cited spectrofluorimetric procedure is an excellent green method.     

On the regulation of tyrosine transaminase, glutamatic dehydrogenase and aspartic transaminase in Tetrahymena

Aspartic transaminase, tyrosine transaminase, lactic dehydrogenase, and glutamic dehydrogenase were studied in Tetrahymena pyriformis in order to gain a better understanding of the control of the entrance and exit of metabolic intermediates to and from the major carbohydrate pathways. Glucose decreased the activity of aspartic transaminase, tyrosine transaminase and glutamic dehydrogenase but not lactic dehydrogenase. Actinomycin D (6 and 12 μg/ml) blocked the decrease in glutamic dehydrogenase and aspartic transaminase activity caused by glucose; 12 μg/ml partially prevented the decrease in tyrosine transaminase activity. Actinomycin D alone had little effect on enzyme activity. Uracil incorporation into RNA was doubled by 6 μg/ml actinomycin D, a concentration which did not alter the RNA content of the cells. At 12 μg/ml this drug caused a small decrease in RNA spec. act. Cycloheximide at 10 μg/ml, a concentration which inhibited protein synthesis by 70%, caused a three-fold increase in aspartic transaminase and a two-fold increase in glutamic dehydrogenase. In the presence of both cycloheximide and glucose, the drug effect predominated. Thus both actinomycin D and cycloheximide blocked the glucose-induced decrease in enzyme activity. These results suggest that the levels of aspartic transaminase, glutamic dehydrogenase, and probably tyrosine transaminase are regulated at least in part by a degradative control system.     

Oxidation of combined ingestion of glucose and fructose during exercise.

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether combined ingestion of a large amount of fructose and glucose during cycling exercise would lead to exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates >1 g/min. Eight trained cyclists (maximal O(2) consumption: 62 +/- 3 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) performed four exercise trials in random order. Each trial consisted of 120 min of cycling at 50% maximum power output (63 +/- 2% maximal O(2) consumption), while subjects received a solution providing either 1.2 g/min of glucose (Med-Glu), 1.8 g/min of glucose (High-Glu), 0.6 g/min of fructose + 1.2 g/min of glucose (Fruc+Glu), or water. The ingested fructose was labeled with [U-(13)C]fructose, and the ingested glucose was labeled with [U-(14)C]glucose. Peak exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates were approximately 55% higher (P < 0.001) in Fruc+Glu (1.26 +/- 0.07 g/min) compared with Med-Glu and High-Glu (0.80 +/- 0.04 and 0.83 +/- 0.05 g/min, respectively). Furthermore, the average exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates over the 60- to 120-min exercise period were higher (P < 0.001) in Fruc+Glu compared with Med-Glu and High-Glu (1.16 +/- 0.06, 0.75 +/- 0.04, and 0.75 +/- 0.04 g/min, respectively). There was a trend toward a lower endogenous carbohydrate oxidation in Fruc+Glu compared with the other two carbohydrate trials, but this failed to reach statistical significance (P = 0.075). The present results demonstrate that, when fructose and glucose are ingested simultaneously at high rates during cycling exercise, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates can reach peak values of approximately 1.3 g/min.     

Voltammetry of tobacco mosaic virus and its isolated protein at the graphite electrode

The electrochemical behaviour of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and its isolated protein was studied using differential pulse (DP) voltammetry at a graphite electrode and by direct current (DC) polarography in Brdicka solution. TMV and its isolated protein were found to be electrooxidized at the graphite electrode in the adsorbed state. Both species yielded two oxidation peaks on DP voltammograms. The first, more negative peak, corresponded to electrooxidation of tyrosine residues, whereas the other, more positive, peak corresponded to electrooxidation of tryptophan residues. DC polarography was used to detect degradation of TMV and denaturation of TMV-protein induced by an increased pH and by the addition of urea, respectively. These structural transformations resulted in increased DP voltammetric oxidation currents as recorded using a graphite working electrode. It has been suggested that the higher oxidation currents were due to an increase in the number of tyrosine and tryptophan residues accessible to the reaction at the graphite electrode. The results of these electrochemical investigations were in a good agreement with the estimation of the accessibility of tyrosine and tryptophan residues based on the well-explored three-dimensional structure of TMV and its isolated protein.
