Methylamine and aminoacetone are endogenous aliphatic amines found in human blood and urine. They can be oxidized by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), leading to the production of toxic aldehydes such as formaldehyde and methylglyoxal as well as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. SSAO is localized on the surface of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and of adipocytes. Increases in SSAO activity are linked to vascular disorders associated with pathological conditions such as diabetic complications, heart failure, and vascular dementia. Quantitative assessment of methylamine and acetonitrile in tissues has been hampered due to the volatility and hydrolipophilicity of these amines as well as interference by complex biological constituents. We have overcome this problem and developed an FMOC/HPLC (9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate-Cl/high-performance liquid chromatography) method for simultaneous assessment of methylamine and aminoacetone. This method has been validated using rodent tissues with a detection limit at the picogram level. Methylamine and aminoacetone distributed unevenly among different tissues ranged from 0.1 to 27 nmol/g. To our knowledge, this is the first report on simultaneous determination of methylamine and aminoacetone in mammal tissues. 相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyzes formation of methylglyoxal (MG) from aminoacetone; MG then reacts with proteins to form advanced glycation end products or AGEs. Because of its potential to generate MG, SSAO may contribute to AGE-associated vascular complications of aging and diabetes. We developed a method to measure SSAO activity in bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (BASMC) based on the oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin by hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase. The SSAO activity was completely inhibited by 10 mM semicarbazide. Argpyrimidine is a readily detectable fluorescent product of the reaction between MG and arginine. Cell lysates incubated with aminoacetone formed argpyrimidine in a reaction that was inhibited by 20 mM semicarbazide. Immunostaining of tissue sections showed that aminoacetone-treated rats (normal as well as diabetic) formed more argpyrimidine in aortic smooth muscle than untreated controls. We believe that SSAO can enhance AGE synthesis in the macrovasculature of diabetic individuals by production of MG. 相似文献

Aldehydes are capable of inducing protein cross-linkage. An increase in aldehydes has been found in Alzheimer's disease. Formaldehyde and methylglyoxal are produced via deamination of, respectively, methylamine and aminoacetone catalyzed by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO, EC 1.4.3.6. The enzyme is located on the outer surface of the vasculature, where amyloidosis is often initiated. A high SSAO level has been identified as a risk factor for vascular disorders. Serum SSAO activity has been found to be increased in Alzheimer's patients. Malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal are derived from lipid peroxidation under oxidative stress, which is also associated with Alzheimer's disease. Aldehydes may potentially play roles in beta-amyloid aggregation related to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. In the present study, thioflavin-T fluorometry, dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were employed to reveal the effect of endogenous aldehydes on beta-amyloid at different stages, i.e. beta-sheet formation, oligomerization and fibrillogenesis. Formaldehyde, methylglyoxal and malondialdehyde and, to a lesser extent, 4-hydroxynonenal are not only capable of enhancing the rate of formation of beta-amyloid beta-sheets, oligomers and protofibrils but also of increasing the size of the aggregates. The possible relevance to Alzheimer's disease of the effects of these aldehydes on beta-amyloid deposition is discussed. 相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is located on outer surfaces of adipocytes and endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. This enzyme catalyzes deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone, leading to production of toxic formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, respectively, as well as hydrogen peroxide and ammonium. Several lines of evidence suggest that increased SSAO activity is related to chronic inflammation and vascular disorders related to diabetic complications. We found that a highly potent and selective SSAO inhibitor, (E)-2-(4-fluorophenethyl)-3-fluoroallylamine (FPFA), was capable of reducing numbers of atherosclerotic lesions as well as weight gain in obese KKAy mice fed an atherogenic diet. SSAO inhibitors cause a moderate and long-lasting hyperglycemia. Such an increase in serum glucose is a result of reduction of glucose uptake by adipocytes. SSAO-mediated deamination of endogenous methylamine substrates induces adipocyte glucose uptake and lipogenesis. Highly selective SSAO inhibitors can effectively block induced glucose uptake. The results suggest that increased SSAO-mediated deamination may be concomitantly related to obesity and vascular disorders associated with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyzes the deamination of primary amines. Such deamination has been shown capable of regulating glucose transport in adipose cells. It has been independently discovered that the primary structure of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is identical to SSAO. VAP-1 regulates leukocyte migration and is related to inflammation. Increased serum SSAO activities have been found in patients with diabetic mellitus, vascular disorders and Alzheimer's disease. The SSAO-catalyzed deamination of endogenous substrates, that is, methylamine and aminoacetone, led to production of toxic formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, respectively. These highly reactive aldehydes have been shown to initiate protein cross-linkage, exacerbate advanced glycation of proteins and cause endothelial injury. Hydrogen peroxide contributes to oxidative stress. 14C-methylamine is converted to 14C-formaldehyde, which then forms labeled long-lasting protein adduct in rodents. Chronic methylamine treatment increased the excretion of malondialdehyde and microalbuminuria, and enhanced the formation of fatty streaks in C57BL/6 mice fed with an atherogenic diet. Treatment with selective SSAO inhibitor reduces atherogenesis in KKAy diabetic mice fed with high-cholesterol diet. Aminoguanidine, which blocks advanced glycation and reduces nephropathy in animals, is in fact more potent at inhibiting SSAO than its effect on glycation. It suggests that SSAO is involved in vascular disorders under certain pathological conditions. Although SSAO has been known for several decades, its physiological and pathological implications are just beginning to be recognized. 相似文献

The oxidation of aminoacetone by a species of Arthrobacter 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
1. A micro-organism similar to Arthrobacter globiformis has been isolated from sewage by elective growth on a medium containing l-threonine as sole source of carbon and nitrogen. 2. Washed cell suspensions of the organism catalyse the complete disappearance of aminoacetone from the medium and its almost complete oxidation. 3. In the presence of iodoacetate, aminoacetone disappearance is accompanied by the accumulation of methylglyoxal, about 70% of the aminoacetone removed being accounted for in this way. 4. It is suggested that the conversion of aminoacetone into methylglyoxal is catalysed by an amine oxidase. 相似文献

Age-related diseases are associated with increased production of reactive oxygen and carbonyl species such as methylglyoxal. Aminoacetone, a putative threonine catabolite, is reportedly known to undergo metal-catalyzed oxidation to methylglyoxal, NH4
+ ion, and H2O2 coupled with (i) permeabilization of rat liver mitochondria, and (ii) apoptosis of insulin-producing cells. Oxidation of aminoacetone to methylglyoxal is now shown to be accelerated by ferricytochrome c, a reaction initiated by one-electron reduction of ferricytochrome c by aminoacetone without amino acid modifications. The participation of O2
•− and HO• radical intermediates is demonstrated by the inhibitory effect of added superoxide dismutase and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spin-trapping experiments with 5,5′-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide. We hypothesize that two consecutive one-electron transfers from aminoacetone (E0 values = −0.51 and −1.0 V) to ferricytochrome c (E0 = 0.26 V) may lead to aminoacetone enoyl radical and, subsequently, imine aminoacetone, whose hydrolysis yields methylglyoxal and NH4
+ ion. In the presence of oxygen, aminoacetone enoyl and O2
•− radicals propagate aminoacetone oxidation to methylglyoxal and H2O2. These data endorse the hypothesis that aminoacetone, putatively accumulated in diabetes, may directly reduce ferricyt c yielding methylglyoxal and free radicals, thereby triggering redox imbalance and adverse mitochondrial responses. 相似文献

The enzyme of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity has been reported to be elevated in blood from diabetic patients. SSAO are widely distributed in plasma membranes of various tissues and blood plasma. SSAO-mediated production of toxic aldehydes has been proposed to be related to pathophysiological conditions. Cytotoxic metabolites by SSAO may cause endothelial injury and subsequently induce atherosclerosis. The precise physiological functions of SSAO could play an important role in the control of energy balance in adipose tissue. It is possible that the increased SSAO activity in diabetes may be a result of up-regulation due to increase of SSAO substrates, such as methylamine or aminoacetone. SSAO could play an important role in the regulation of adipocyte homeostasis. Inhibition of SSAO could be of therapeutic value for treatment of diabetic patient. 相似文献

We investigated DNA damage induced by aminoacetone, a metabolite of threonine and glycine. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that aminoacetone caused cellular DNA cleavage. Aminoacetone increased the amount of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in human cultured cells in a dose-dependent manner. The formation of 8-oxodG in calf thymus DNA increased due to aminoacetone only in the presence of Cu(II). DNA ladder formation was observed at higher concentrations of aminoacetone than those causing DNA cleavage. Flow cytometry showed that aminoacetone enhanced the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cultured cells. Aminoacetone caused damage to 32P-5'-end-labeled DNA fragments, obtained from the human c-Ha-ras-1 and p53 genes, at cytosine and thymine residues in the presence of Cu(II). Catalase and bathocuproine inhibited DNA damage, suggesting that H2O2 and Cu(I) were involved. Analysis of the products generated from aminoacetone revealed that aminoacetone underwent Cu(II)-mediated autoxidation in two different pathways: the major pathway in which methylglyoxal and NH+4 are generated and the minor pathway in which 2,5-dimethylpyrazine is formed through condensation of two molecules of aminoacetone. These findings suggest that H2O2 generated by the autoxidation of aminoacetone reacts with Cu(I) to form reactive species capable of causing oxidative DNA damage. 相似文献

L-Threonine catabolism by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied to determine the role of glycolytic bypath as a detoxyfication system of 2-oxoaldehyde (methylglyoxal) formed from L-threonine catabolism. During the growth on L-threonine as a sole source of nitrogen, a large amount of aminoacetone was accumulated in the culture. The enzymatic analyses indicated that L-threonine was converted into either acetaldehyde and glycine by threonine aldolase or 2-aminoacetoacetate by NAD-dependent threonine dehydrogenase. Glycine formed was condensed with acetyl-CoA by aminoacetone synthase to form 2-aminoacetoacetate, a labile compound spontaneously decarboxylated into aminoacetone. The enzyme activities of the glycolytic bypath of the cells grown on L-threonine were considerably higher than those of the cells grown on ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source. The result indicated the possible role of glycolytic bypath as a detoxification system of methylglyoxal formed from L-threonine catabolism. 相似文献

An enzyme which oxidizes aminoacetone to methylglyoxal has been purified from the particulate fraction of goat liver. Polyamines, such as spermidine and spermine, are also good substrates for this enzyme. The pH optimum for aminoacetone oxidation was found to be 8.2. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for aminoacetone and spermidine were 0.009 and 0.095 mM, respectively. The subunit molecular weight of the enzyme was 93,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The apparent molecular weight of the native enzyme was 186,000 by gel filtration. The enzyme is highly sensitive to carbonyl group reagents. The enzyme is not inhibited by monoamine and diamine oxidase inhibitors. 相似文献

The enzymic formation of methylglyoxal from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and aminoacetone (metabolites of carbohydrates and proteins) is considered. Methylglyoxal transformation into lactic and pyruvic acids is related to energy metabolism, catabolism and anabolism dissociation processes in carbohydrates and proteins, and, probably, to maintenance of asymmetrical entropy in vivo on the constant level. Attention is paid to the methylglyoxal inhibition of enzymes, its interaction with glutathione and polyamines affecting the mechanisms regulating protein synthesis and cellular division. The methods for obtaining and quantitative determination of methylglyoxal are described. 相似文献

L-Threonine dehydrogenase, which forms aminoacetone from L-threonine and NAD, has been extensively purified from goat liver. A feedback inhibition of this enzyme has been observed with methylglyoxal. Kinetic data and other experiments indicate that methylglyoxal acts at a site other than the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme contains a single subunit of Mr 89,000. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for L-threonine and NAD were found to be 5.5 and 1 mM, respectively. 相似文献

The concentrations of D- and L-lactate, methylglyoxal and pyruvate were measured in tissues of normal and starved Octopus ocellatus. D-Lactate was always more abundant than L-lactate in the tissues. D-Lactate, pyruvate and methylglyoxal were present in 320, 94 and 43 times higher concentrations in tentacle of O. ocellatus of control group than those in normal rat skeletal muscle. The D-lactate concentration in the tentacle of O. ocellatus was 17-fold higher than that in Octopus vulgars. The activities of enzymes involved with D-lactate metabolism such as pyruvate kinase, octopine dehydrogenase, glyoxalase I and II and lactate dehydrogenase were measured in those tissues. The activities of glyoxalase I and II, and D-lactate dehydrogenase were increased in mantle and tentacle of starved octopus, while the levels of D-lactate and related metabolites were lowered in these tissues. The experimental results presented in this report and up to the present indicate that D-lactate is actively used for energy production in the tentacle and mantle of the starved animals. In octopus, especially starved octopus D-lactate was actively produced from methylglyoxal, which is formed via aminoacetone from threonine and glycine. 相似文献

Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are two important markers of oxidative stress and both are involved in the evaluation of several diseases. A new HPLC method for determining glyoxal and methylglyoxal in urine was developed. The method is based on the reaction of alpha-dialdehydes, glyoxal and methylglyoxal, with 5,6-diamino-2,4-hydroxypyrimidine sulfate in basic medium to form highly fluorescent lumazine derivatives. Creatinine was also included in the method even though it does not react with the reagent. The derivatives and creatinine are separated on a C(18) reversed-phase column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile:citrate buffer, pH 6.0 (3:97 v/v). The flow rate was 1.0mLmin(-1) and the effluent was monitored photometrically at 250 nm for determination of creatinine and fluorimetrically at 500 nm (exciting at 330 nm) for determination of glyoxal and methylglyoxal derivatives. Recording time of the separation is less than 10 min. Determination of the analytes is performed in urine after incubation of the sample, with the reagent in alkaline medium, for 30 min at 60 degrees C. Urinary levels of glyoxal and methylglyoxal, expressed as glyoxal/creatinine and methylglyoxal/creatinine ratios, in healthy young women and men were determined. For women, values of 0.80+/-0.37 and 0.60+/-0.22 microg/mg of creatinine were found for glyoxal and methylglyoxal, respectively. For men, values of 0.63+/-0.15 and 0.49+/-0.05 microg/mg of creatinine were found for glyoxal and methylglyoxal, respectively. These results were also related to the body mass index of each individual. 相似文献

Aims
Aristolochic acid (AA) nephrotoxicity is related to accumulation of methylglyoxal (MGO) and Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) in the mouse kidney. We studied the activity of renal semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), a key enzyme involved in MGO generation, in AA-treated mice, and investigated nephroprotective effects produced by metformin, a MGO scavenger.Methods
Mice were orally administered water or metformin for 15 days (12 or 24 mg kg− 1 day− 1), and injected AA (5 mg kg− 1 day− 1) intraperitoneally for 8 days starting on day 8. Renal function was studied, and histopathological examination, determination of renal SSAO activity, and measurement of MGO levels were performed.Key findings
Compared to control mice, AA-injected mice showed significant renal damage and approximately 2.7-fold greater renal SSAO activity (p < 0.05). Further, compared to control treatment, administration of 12 mg/kg metformin inhibited formation of renal lesions, and significantly decreased renal MGO levels (37.33 ± 9.78 vs. 5.89 ± 2.64 μg/mg of protein, respectively, p < 0.01). In the AA-treated mice, metformin also inhibited the accumulation of CML in renal tubules, but did not affect SSAO activity.Significance
This study is the first to show elevated renal SSAO activity in AA-treated mice, which could be involved in MGO accumulation. Moreover, MGO scavenging by metformin reduces AA nephrotoxicity. These findings suggest that reducing MGO accumulation produces nephroprotection, revealing new therapeutic strategies for the management. SSAO is a key enzyme involved in MGO generation, and consequently, inhibition of renal SSAO activity is worth investigating in AA nephrotoxicity and other renal pathologies further. 相似文献18.

Various mammalian tissues contain membrane-bound amine oxidase termed semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). A variety of compounds has been identified as relatively selective SSAO inhibitors, but those inhibitors currently available also inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO). In the present study, inhibitory properties of 2-bromoethylamine (2-BEA) and 3-bromopropylamine (3-BPA) toward rat lung-bound SSAO have been studied. Regardless of preincubation, 2-BEA could not appreciably inhibit MAO-A and MAO-B activity, but 3-BPA at relatively high concentrations inhibited only MAO-B activity. 3-BPA was a competitive and reversible SSAO inhibitor with a Ki value of 17 microM regardless of preincubation. In contrast, without preincubation, 2-BEA competitively inhibited SSAO activity with the Ki value of 2.5 microM and after preincubation, the mode of inhibition changed to be noncompetitive, indicating irreversible inhibition after the preincubation. Dialysis experiments with 2-BEA-pretreated homogenate resulted in no recovery of SSAO activity even after overnight dialysis. A decreased rate of SSAO inhibition under N2 atmosphere to that obtained under O2 was produced upon preincubation of enzyme with 2-BEA, suggesting that oxidized intermediate was necessary for its inhibitory activity. Thus, 2-BEA first interacts with SSAO to form a reversible complex with a subsequent reaction, leading this complex to the covalently bound enzyme-inhibitor adduct. The data analyzed by the plot of 1/k' vs 1/2-BEA concentrations intersected on the y-axis indicate that the inhibition by 2-BEA is not mediated by a bimolecular reaction; thus it is not an affinity-labeling agent, but a suicide SSAO inhibitor. 2-BEA may be employed as a useful compound in the studying SSAO. 相似文献

Interaction between L-threonine dehydrogenase and aminoacetone synthetase and mechanism of aminoacetone production 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A mixture of threonine dehydrogenase and aminoacetone synthetase will catalyze the conversion of L-threonine to glycine. The overall reaction likely involves the conversion of L-threonine, NAD+, and CoA to glycine, NADH, and acetyl-CoA. Physical separation of L-threonine dehydrogenase from aminoacetone synthetase results in the formation of aminoacetone and CO2 from their substrates. A physical interaction between threonine dehydrogenase and aminoacetone synthetase has been demonstrated by gel permeation chromatography and fluorescence polarization. Polarization of fluorescence measurements of threonine dehydrogenase and aminoacetone synthetase labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate indicated the formation of a soluble active complex, with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 5-10 nM and an apparent stoichiometry of 2 aminoacetone synthetase dimers/1 threonine dehydrogenase tetramer. Chemical experiments have identified aminoacetone as the enzymatic product of L-threonine dehydrogenase acting on L-threonine. These experiments involved trapping pyrrole derivatives, [3H]NaBH4 reduction, and coupling with plasma amine oxidase. Kinetic experiments also showed NADH, CO2, and aminoacetone to inhibit threonine dehydrogenase in a manner consistent with an ordered Bi-Ter kinetic mechanism. NAD+ is the lead substrate followed by threonine, and the products are released in the order: CO2, aminoacetone, and NADH. 相似文献

Studies on semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase in patients with diabetes mellitus and in transgenic mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Patients with diabetes mellitus and with vascular complications in particular, exhibit higher plasma activities of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) compared to control subjects. It has been speculated that production of cytotoxic products of SSAO may cause endothelial damage and thus contribute to the development of diabetic vascular complications such as retino-, nephro-, and neuropathies as a result of SSAO activity.In order to explore the possibility that high SSAO activity contributes to the development of vascular complications in diabetes, we have performed two studies in patients with Type-2 diabetes quantifying plasma SSAO activity, HbA(1c), and urinary levels of the SSAO substrate, methylamine. We also examined the prevalence of retinopathy in these patients. Additionally, we have studied a model of transgenic mice expressing human SSAO in smooth muscle cells. The transgenic mice have an increased SSAO activity as well as mRNA expression. Histological studies revealed a specific aorta phenotype with a condensed and rigid vessel wall in some of the transgenic mice. No wild-type animals displayed this phenotype.In conclusion, we suggest that this transgenic mouse model may be of great value for increasing the knowledge about to what extent human SSAO contributes to vascular complications in diabetes, and also to which extent inhibition of SSAO can prevent the development of such complications. 相似文献
