1. Antiserum raised to purified human liver monoamine oxidase was used to characterize the monoamine oxidase from human liver, brain cortex, placenta and platelets. 2. Antibodies to monoamine oxidase were purified by adsorption with a mitochondrial preparation. 3. Monoamine oxidase was present in liver particle-free supernatant as measured by enzyme activity and immunodiffusion. 4. Multiple precipitin lines were obtained on immunodiffusion analysis against the purified liver enzyme. It is proposed that this is due to either aggregation or to differential lipid binding. 5. The results suggest that the functionally different enzymes found in liver, brain cortex, platelets and placenta are immunochemically related and may be identical. 相似文献

(1) Monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4) is present in rat skeletal muscle mitochondria. (2) A radioassay procedure for the assay of monoamine oxidase in muscle mitochondria is described. It is based on teh procedure using side-chain [2-14C]-tryptamine as substate described by Wurtman, R.J. and Axelrod, J. (1963) Biochem. Pharmacol. 12, 1439--1441 and employs a pH of 8.0 and a substrate concentration of 0.25 mM. (3) The Km of the muscle mitochondrial enzyme at pH 8.0 is 1.34 - 10(-5) M and that of the liver enzyme under the same conditions is 2.5 - 10(-5) M. Muscle mitochondria contain only one quarter of the activity of enzyme present in liver mitochondria. (4) Monoamine oxidase is shown to be in the outer membrane of skeletal muscle mitochondria and thus to be a suitable marker enzyme for use in the fractionation of these mitochondria. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the liver and brain of the pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus was determined using a fluorescence assay with kynuramine as substrate. Apparent Michaelis constant values (20·33 μM for liver and 25·85 μM for brain) were similar in these tissues, but in terms of tissue protein MAO activity from liver was 4·5 times higher than from brain. The greater inhibitory effects of clorgyline than of deprenyl on MAO activity from liver and brain of this species suggest that pacu's MAO is a type A-like enzyme. 相似文献

1. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in the brain and peripheral tissues of newborn ground squirrel, as well as its evolution during postnatal development were studied. 2. Monoamine oxidase activity in the brain stem and liver, at the day of birth is significantly higher (P less than 0.01; P less than 0.005) than in adults. 3. After that, enzyme activity decreases, but at the 25th day, e.g. at the day of the opening of the eyes, still remains significantly above the adult's value (P less than 0.01). 4. The results indicate some species specificity concerning the level and the evolution of cerebral and hepatic MAO activity as compared to the rats. 相似文献

A rapid and simple technique using solvent extraction and high pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection has been developed for the determination of serotonin in small brain tissue samples (1-20 mg). The method has a reasonably good specificity and a very low experimental error (less than 3%s.e ., calculated from six samples processed and analysed from the same brain homogenate). The recovery of authentic 5-HT added is 80-90%. The 5-HT levels of rat whole brain was found with the present technique to be 690 ± 17.5 ng/g and of mouse neocortex 304 ± 16 ng/g. Monoamine oxidase inhibition with pargyline (2 h) increased 5-HT levels in mouse neocortex to 194 ± 15% (N = 5) of control, while reserpine depleted 5-HT to 13 ± 4% of control. The method has a sensitivity level of about 20 pg (0.1 pmol) per brain sample. 相似文献

A sensitive method for the assay of sparteine oxidase activity in vitro by microsomal fractions of human liver is described. The activity of sparteine oxidase was assessed by the formation of 2- and 5-dehydrosparteines, which were estimated by capillary gas chromatography with N2-FID detection. The limit of detection of the two metabolites, 2- and 5-dehydrosparteine, was 10 pmol (2.3 ng) per sample. Sparteine oxidase activity was linear with microsomal protein concentration ranging from 25 to 200 ug and with incubation times between 5 and 60 minutes. Omission of NADPH on incubation under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide inhibited formation of both metabolites, thus indicating that aforementioned metabolites arise in reaction catalyzed by cytochrome P-450. In three liver samples from humans classified as extensive (EM) metabolizers the formation of 2- and 5-dehydrosparteines was observed, 2-dehydrosparteine being the major metabolite. In these samples sparteine oxidase activity was characterised by Vmax = 136 +/- 53 pmol/min/mg and Km = 44 +/- 12 microM for 2-dehydrosparteine formation. For 5-dehydrosparteine formation the following values were obtained: Vmax = 57 +/- 18 pmol/min/mg and Km = 42 +/- 26 microM. In a liver sample from a poor metabolizer (PM) only the formation of 2-dehydrosparteine was detected with the method of analysis used. In this sample a great increase in Km (Km PM = 3033 microM) was noted, while Vmax was very similar to those obtained for 2-dehydrosparteine formation in EM subjects (Vmax PM = 147 pmol min/mg). 相似文献

The degradative fate of monoamine oxidase in endogenous and transplanted mitochondrial outer membrane has been compared in rat hepatocyte monolayers. Monoamine oxidase was specifically irreversibly radiolabelled by the suicide inhibitor [3H]pargyline. Hepatocyte monolayers were cultured in conditions in which rates of protein catabolism like those in vivo are maintained [Evans & Mayer (1983) Biochem. J. 216, 151-161]. Incubation of hepatocyte monolayers for 17 h with [3H]pargyline specifically radiolabels mitochondrial monoamine oxidase, as shown by Percoll-gradient fractionation of broken hepatocytes. Monoamine oxidase is degraded at a similar rate to that observed in liver in vivo (t1/2 approx. 63 h). The effects of leupeptin, methylamine and colchicine on the degradation of endogenous radiolabelled enzyme has been studied over prolonged culture periods. Culture of hepatocytes for periods of up to 80 h with inhibitors was not cytotoxic, as demonstrated by measurements of several intrinsic biochemical parameters. Leupeptin, methylamine and colchicine inhibit the degradation of endogenous monoamine oxidase by 60, 38 and 18% respectively. Monoamine oxidase in mitochondrial-outer-membrane vesicles introduced into hepatocytes by poly(ethylene glycol)-mediated vesicle-cell transplantation is degraded at a similar rate (t1/2 55 h) to the endogenous mitochondrial enzyme. Whereas leupeptin inhibits the degradation of endogenous and transplanted enzyme to a similar extent, methylamine and colchicine inhibit the degradation of transplanted enzyme to a much greater extent (85 and 56% respectively). Fluorescence microscopy (with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated mitochondrial outer membrane) shows that transplanted mitochondrial outer membrane undergoes internalization and translocation to a sided perinuclear site, as observed previously with whole mitochondria [Evans & Mayer (1983) Biochem. J. 216, 151-161]. The effects of the inhibitors on the distribution of transplanted membrane material in the cell and inhibition of proteolysis show the importance of cytomorphology for intracellular protein catabolism. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined fluorometrically in brain, intestine, kidney and liver tissues of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. MAO activity was inhibited by various drugs in a concentration-related manner, with single sigmoid inhibition curves, the inhibitors of type A MAO, harmaline and clorgyline being more effective than deprenyl, an inhibitor of type B MAO. Intestine exhibited greatest MAO activity followed by liver and brain with kidney showing least activity. The Michaelis constants (Km) also showed variability between tissues. Inhibition of MAO by harmaline was non-competitive and dependent on the concentration of substrate present. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase B was purified from human liver mitochondria using a monoclonal antibody, MAO B-1C2, which recognizes monoamine oxidase B but not A. Triton X-100 extracts of mitochondria were incubated with purified MAO B-1C2 (IgG1), and the catalytically active enzyme:antibody complex was isolated by affinity chromatography on Protein A-Sepharose. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the complex revealed the presence of four polypeptide bands (monoamine oxidase B, 57,900 dalton; antibody heavy chain, 52,200 dalton; and two light chains, 29,400 and 27,700 dalton), and indicated a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of enzyme to antibody. This method gave 154-fold purification of the enzyme from mitochondria. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) plays an important role in the metabolism of neuro-transmitter biogenic amines. Its activity was determined in mouse brain and liver after exposure to different kinds of ionizing radiation and after pretreatment with a radioprotective agent. After a lethal dose of mixed neutron-gamma irradiation the MAO activity decreased in the brain and increased in the liver. In contrast, after a lethal dose of 60Co-gamma irradiation enzyme activity was considerably increased in the brain while in the liver it increased like after mixed neutron-gamma irradiation. AET (S2-aminoethyl-isothiuronium-Br X HBr), when administered in a radio-protective dose, inhibited MAO activity in the brain, while it increased in the liver. Even more marked changes of enzyme activity were observed in both brain and liver after AET pretreatment and mixed neutron-gamma irradiation. On the basis of the results it is suggested that different kinds of ionizing radiation lead to different types of lipid peroxidation in the lipid environment surrounding MAO, an event leading to altered enzyme activity. AET itself inhibited MAO in the brain and increased the activity in the liver but did not prevent the alterations caused by ionizing radiation in enzyme activity. 相似文献

1. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was measured in brain, liver, kidney and intestine of the adult bullfrog by a fluorometric method. 2. All tissues contained both type A and type B MAO, on the basis of responses to specific inhibitors, but with different ratios in each tissue. 3. MAO activity was optimum at 30 degrees C. However, MAO type B showed greater activity changes related to incubation temperature than did type A. 4. The Michaelis constant (Km) of MAO also varied with temperature, with a nadir around 20 degrees C. The functional significance of this is not clear. 5. Arrhenius plots showed that the activation energy for MAO B was higher than for MAO A. 相似文献

Abstract— The activity of L–glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) (GAD) in various mouse tissues was determined by five different methods, namely, the radiometric CO2 method, column separation, electro–phoretic separation, the filtration method, and amino acid analysis. Results from the latter four methods agreed well, showing that brain had the highest activity, 4.27 nmol/min/mg protein (100%), followed by heart (7.4%), kidney (6.3%) and liver (1.5%). Measurement of brain GAD using the radiometric CO2 assay method agreed with the other techniques. However, in heart, kidney, and liver, the GAD activities measured by the CO2 method were about 3–4 times higher than those obtained by the GABA method, suggesting that the CO2 method does not give a valid measurement of GAD activity in a crude non–neural tissue preparation. GAD activity also was detected in adrenal gland but not in pituitary, stomach, testis, muscle, uterus, lung, salivary gland, or spleen. GAD from brain, spinal cord, heart, kidney and liver were further compared by double immunodiffusion, enzyme inhibition by antibody, and microcomplement fixation using antibody against GAD purified from mouse brain. GAD from brain and spinal cord appear to be identical as judged from the following results: the immunoprecipitin bands fused together without a spur; the enzyme activity was inhibited by anti–GAD to the same extent; and the microcomplement fixation curves were similar in both the shape of the curve and the extent of fixation. No crossreactivity was observed between GAD from heart, kidney or liver and antibody against brain GAD in all the immunochemical tests described above, suggesting that GAD in non–neural tissues is different from that in brain and spinal cord. 相似文献

A radiometric assay for pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase (pyridoxamine (pyridoxine) 5′-phosphate:O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.5) has been developed utilizing N-(5′-phosphopyridoxyl)[3H]tryptamine. This assay is more sensitive than previously used colorimetric and fluorescent assays for this oxidase and furthermore is applicable to erythrocytes. Tritiated substrate is incubated with an enzyme sample in the presence of excess unlabeled truptamine and the radiolabeled tryptamine product is extracted into toluene and quantitated by liquid scintillation counting. 相似文献

A colorimetric assay for cellular transglutaminase using 5-(biotinamido)pentylamine and polyvinylidine difluoride membranes for crude cellular preparations and purified enzyme has been developed. The biotinpentylamine substrate was incorporated into N,N-dimethylcasein by transglutaminase, the biotinylated products were adsorbed onto the membrane disks and conjugated with streptavidin-beta-galactosidase, and the absorbance resulting from the formation of p-nitrophenol from hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside was measured at 405 nm. The validity of the assay was established by showing a good correlation, gamma = 0.922, between the colorimetric procedure and the commonly used radiometric filter paper method for the enzyme. The procedure offers a rapid, sensitive, and nonisotopic method for the estimation of cellular transglutaminase activity in as low as 20 ng of purified guinea pig liver transglutaminase and 10 micrograms of crude fibroblast cytosol protein. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity towards kynuramine as substrate was measured in 6 hybrid cells derived by fusion of neuroblastoma and glioma, liver or brain cells, and was compared with that of parental or non-parental clones. Activities varied from the lowest level of less than 0.15 pmol/min/mg protein in a neuroblastoma clone NB2A to the highest level of 127 pmol/min/mg protein in NCB20 mouse neuroblastoma × Chinese hamster embryo brain hybrid cells. The relative proportions of A and B types of MAO activities were determined in homogenates of each cell line by inhibition curves with clorgyline and deprenyl. Although the A type activity was found in all cell lines measured, MAO A was predominant in 9 clones, except for NCB20 hybrid cells, N4G-B-a neuroblastoma × glioma hybrid cells, and G8-1 myoblast. The ratio of type A/type B activity in NCB20, N4G-B-a and G8-1 cells was 20/80, 75/25 and 95/5, respectively. The results suggest that NCB20 cells are highly enriched in MAO type B, and that the NCB20 cell is an excellent model for studying the type B activity found in the brain in vivo. 相似文献

Neutrophils can cause liver injury during endotoxemia through generation of reactive oxygen species. However, the enzymatic source of the oxidant stress and the nature of the oxidants generated remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the involvement of NADPH oxidase in the pathophysiology by using the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) in the galactosamine/endotoxin (700 mg/kg Gal:100 microg/kg ET) model of liver injury. In addition, we measured chlorotyrosine as indicator for hypochlorous acid formation by myeloperoxidase. Gal/ET treatment of male C3HeB/FeJ mice resulted in sinusoidal neutrophil accumulation and parenchymal cell apoptosis (14 +/- 3% of cells) at 6 h. At 7 h, 35% of neutrophils had transmigrated. The number of apoptotic cells increased to 25 +/- 2%, and the overall number of dead cells was 48 +/- 3%; many of them showed the characteristic morphology of necrosis. Hepatocytes, which colocalized with extravasated neutrophils, stained positive for chlorotyrosine and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) protein adducts. In contrast, animals pretreated with DPI (2.5 mg/kg) were protected against liver injury at 7 h (necrosis = 20 +/- 2%). These livers showed little chlorotyrosine or 4-HNE staining, but apoptosis and neutrophil accumulation and extravasation remained unaffected. However, DPI-treated animals showed serious liver injury at 9 h due to sustained apoptosis. The results indicate that NADPH oxidase is responsible for the neutrophil-derived oxidant stress, which includes formation of hypochlorous acid by myeloperoxidase. Thus NADPH oxidase could be a promising therapeutic target to prevent neutrophil-mediated liver injury. However, the long-term benefit of this approach needs to be investigated in models relevant for human liver disease. 相似文献

An h.p.l.c. method was developed for the assay of coproporphyrinogen oxidase activity in rat liver. The protoporphyrinogen IX formed is completely oxidized to protoporphyrin IX for separation and quantification by reversed-phase chromatography with mesoporphyrin as the internal standard. The Km of coproporphrinogen oxidase is 1.01 +/- 0.23 microM. The activities are 4.07 +/- 0.40 nmol of protoporphyrin IX/h per mg of mitochondrial protein and 224 +/- 19 nmol of protoporphyrin IX/h per g of liver tissue homogenate. The method is sensitive enough for measuring enzyme activity in small amounts of human tissue from needle biopsy. 相似文献
