Enhanced sequence coverage of proteins in human cerebrospinal fluid using multiple enzymatic digestion and linear ion trap LC-MS/MS.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides a ready access into the health state of the central nervous system, and alterations in some CSF proteins have been documented in brain disease. However, the complete variety of proteins is not known and methods to identify protein components are still being developed. The goal of this study was to examine the sequence coverage obtained from human CSF digests produced with different proteases. Enzymatic digests of CSF proteins were obtained with arginine-C endopeptidase (ArgC), glutamic acid endopeptidase (GluC), chymotrypsin, trypsin and their combinations, and then examined using reverse phase chromatography and a Finnigan LTQ linear ion trap mass spectrometer. Peptide sequences were identified with BioWorks 3.1 and sequence coverage calculated for the 38 most confidently identified proteins. Trypsin and GluC yielded greater coverage than chymotrypsin, while ArgC had the least sequence coverage. Protein sequence coverage was affected only slightly over four orders of magnitude dynamic range of abundance. Combining the peptides derived from different proteases further increased the coverage. Maximal sequence coverage was achieved by combining digest results from both GluC and trypsin. These results have implications for future studies to identify CSF proteins and their post-translational modifications.

The rate of turnover of cortical GABA from [1-13C]glucose is reduced in rats treated with the GABA-transaminase inhibitor vigabatrin (γ-vinyl GABA)

Brain GABA levels rise and plateau following prolonged administration of the irreversible GABA-transaminase inhibitor vigabatrin (γ-vinylGABA). Recently it has been shown that increased GABA levels reduces GAD₆₇ protein, one of two major isoforms of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). The effects of GABA elevation on GABA synthesis were assessed in vivo using¹H and¹³C-edited NMR spectroscopy. Rates of turnover of cortical glutamate and GABA from intravenously administered [1-¹³C]glucose were measured in α-chloralose anesthetized rats 24 hours after receiving vigabatrin (500 mg/kg, i.p.) and in non-treated controls. GABA concentration was increased 2-fold at 24 hours (from 1.3±0.4 to 2.7±0.9 μmol/g) and GABA-T activity was inhibited by 60%. Tricarboxylic acid cycle flux was not affected by vigabatrin treatment compared to non-treated rats (0.47±0.19 versus 0.52±0.18 μmol/g, respectively). GABA-C2 fractional enrichment (FE) measured in acid extracts rose more slowly in vigabatrin-treated compared to nontreated rats, reaching >90% of the glutamate FE after 3 hours. In contrast, GABA FE≥glutamate FE in non-treated rats. A metabolic model consisting of a single glutamate pool failed to account for the rapid labeling of GABA from glutamate. Metabolic modelling analysis based on two (non-communicating) glutamate pools revealed a ∼70% decrease in the rate of GABA synthesis following vigabatrin-treatment, from 0.14 (non-treated) to 0.04 μmol/g/min (vigabatrin-treated). These findings, in conjunction with the previously reported differential effects of elevated GABA on the GAD isoforms, suggests that GAD₆₇ may account for a major fraction of cortical GABA synthesis in the α-chloralose anesthetized rat brain in vivo.

Effect of unilateral motor cortex ablation on activity of choline acetyltransferase and levels of amino acid transmitter candidates in the spinal cord of adult monkeys

Evidence thatl-glutamate is a neurotransmitter of corticofugal fibers was sought by measuring changes in several biochemical markers of neurotransmitter function in discrete regions of spinal cord after ablation of sensorimotor cortex in monkeys. One and five weeks after unilateral cortical ablation, samples from six areas of spinal cord (ventral, lateral and dorsal regions of the left and right sides) were analysed for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and contents of amino acid transmitter candidates-glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), glycine (Gly), taurine (Tau) and -aminobutyric acid (GABA). During one to five weeks after unilateral cortical ablation of the monkey, prolonged hemiplegia in the contralateral side was observed. Histological examination of the spinal cord 5 weeks after unilateral (left) cortical ablation showed no apparent change in either control (ipsilateral, left) or affected (contralateral, right) sides of the cord as examined by the Klüver-Barrera method. The ChAT activity as a cholinergic marker was scarcely changed in any region of either left (control) or right (affected) side of the spinal cord at one and five weeks after unilateral (left side) ablation of the motor cortex. Amino acid levels in each region of the spinal cord were not significantly changed one week after unilateral ablation of the motor cortex. However, a significant decrease of Glu content was observed in the lateral column of the affected (right) side compared to the control (left) side of cervical and lumbar cord five weeks after cortical ablation of the left motor area. No concomitant alterations of other amino acids were detected. These data strongly suggest thatl-Glu is a neurotransmitter for corticofugal pyramidal tract fibers to anterior horn secondary neurons related to motor control activity in monkey spinal cord.     

Synthesis and immunomodulating activity of new glycopeptides of glycyrrhizic acid containing residues of L-glutamic acid

New glycopeptides of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) containing Glu residues and their α-methyl esters, γ-methyl esters, and α,γ-dimethyl esters were synthesized using N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of N-hydroxybenzotriazole or N-hydroxysuccinimide. Formation of amide bonds was observed on all the three COOH groups of GA, or selectively on the COOH groups of the GA carbohydrate part in dependence on the ratio of reagents and the reaction conditions. The GA glycopeptide with three residues of Glu(OH)-OMe at a dose of 2 mg/kg stimulated the production of antibody-forming cells in mouse spleen in comparison with the control. The GA glycopeptide containing Glu residues only in the GA carbohydrate part turned out to be an immunosuppressor. The glycopeptide of the 30-methyl ester of GA with residues of free Glu in its carbohydrate part increased the hemagglutinine titer at oral doses of 2 and 10 mg/kg. All the studied compounds had practically no effect on the delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice.

Effect of nicotine on extracellular levels of neurotransmitters assessed by microdialysis in various brain regions: Role of glutamic acid

We studied the effect of local administration of nicotine on the release of monoamines in striatum, substantia nigra, cerebellum, hippocampus, cortex (frontal, cingulate), and pontine nucleus and on the release of glutamic acid in striatum of rats in vivo, using microdialysis for nicotine administration and for measuring extracellular amine and glutamic acid levels. Following nicotine administration the extracellular concentration of dopamine, increased in all regions except cerebellum; serotonin increased in cingulate and frontal cortex; and norepinephrine increased in substantia nigra, cingulate cortex, and pontine nucleus. Cotinine, the major nicotine metabolite, had no effect at similar concentrations. The cholinergic antagonists mecamylamine and atropine, the dopaminergic antagonists haloperidol and sulpiride, and the excitatory amino acid antagonist kynurenic acid all inhibited the nicotine-induced increase of extracellular dopamine in the striatum. The fact that kynurenic acid almost completely prevented the effects of nicotine, and nicotine at this concentration produced a 6-fold increase of glutamic acid release, suggests that the effect of nicotine is mainly mediated via glutamic acid release.
