Adipocytes express two types of amine oxidases: the cell surface semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) and the mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO). In human abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, it has been reported that SSAO substrates stimulate glucose transport and inhibit lipolysis while MAO activity is decreased in obese patients when compared to age-matched controls. However, no information has been reported on visceral WAT. To further investigate the obesity-induced regulations of MAO and SSAO in white adipose tissue (WAT) from different anatomical locations, enzyme activities and mRNA abundance have been determined on tissue biopsies from control and high-fat fed dogs, an obesity model already described to be associated with arterial hypertension and hyperinsulinemia. MAO activity was increased in the enlarged omental WAT of diet-induced obese dogs, but not in their mesenteric WAT, another intra-abdominal fat depot. Subcutaneous WAT did not exhibit any change in MAO activity, as did the richest MAO-containing tissue: liver. Similarly, SSAO was increased in omental WAT of diet-induced obese dogs, but was not modified in other WAT and in aorta. The increase in SSAO activity observed in omental WAT likely results from an increased expression of the AOC3 gene since mRNA abundance and maximal benzylamine oxidation velocity were increased. Finally, plasma SSAO was decreased in obese dogs. Although the observed regulations differ from those found in subcutaneous WAT of obese patients, this canine model shows a tissue- and site-specific regulation of peripheral MAO and SSAO in obesity.  相似文献

A strong induction of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) has previously been reported during murine preadipocyte lineage differentiation but it remains unknown whether this emergence also occurs during adipogenesis in man. Our aim was to compare SSAO and monoamine oxidase (MAO) expression during in vitro differentiation of human preadipocytes and in adipose and stroma-vascular fractions of human fat depots. A human preadipocyte cell strain from a patient with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome was first used to follow amine oxidase expression during in vitro differentiation. Then, human preadipocytes isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissues were cultured under conditions promoting ex vivo adipose differentiation and tested for MAO and SSAO expression. Lastly, human adipose tissue was separated into mature adipocyte and stroma-vascular fractions for analyses of MAO and SSAO at mRNA, protein and activity levels. Both SSAO and MAO were increased from undifferentiated preadipocytes to lipid-laden cells in all the models: 3T3-F442A and 3T3-L1 murine lineages, human SGBS cell strain or human preadipocytes in primary culture. In human subcutaneous adipose tissue, the adipocyte-enriched fraction exhibited seven-fold higher amine oxidase activity and contained three- to seven-fold higher levels of mRNAs encoded by MAO-A, MAO-B, AOC3 and AOC2 genes than the stroma-vascular fraction. MAO-A and AOC3 genes accounted for the majority of their respective MAO and SSAO activities in human adipose tissue. Most of the SSAO and MAO found in adipose tissue originated from mature adipocytes. Although the mechanism and role of adipogenesis-related increase in amine oxidase expression remain to be established, the resulting elevated levels of amine oxidase activities found in human adipocytes may be of potential interest for therapeutic intervention in obesity.  相似文献

In the last few decades, medicinal chemists have carried out extensive research on synthetic polyamines for use as anticancer drugs and multitarget-directed ligands in neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some synthetic polyamines as inhibitors of two new potential targets, human semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1) and monoamine oxidases B (MAO B), enzymes involved in various multi-factorial diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. N,N'-Dibenzyl-dodecane-1,12-diamine (Bis-Bza-Diado), a newly synthesised compound, and ELP 12, a muscarinic cholinergic M(2) receptor antagonist, were found to behave as reversible and mixed non-competitive inhibitors of both amine oxidases (dissociation constants of about 100 μM). ELP 12 was found to be more selective for SSAO/VAP-1. Combining kinetic and structural approaches, the binding mode of ELP 12 to SSAO/VAP-1 was investigated. ELP 12 may bind at the entrance of the active site channel by ionic interactions with ASP446 and/or ASP180; one end of the polyamine may be accommodated inside the channel, reaching the TPQ cofactor area. The binding of ELP 12 induces rearrangement of the secondary structure of the enzyme and impedes substrate entry and/or product release and catalysis. These structural data reveal that the entrance and the first part of the SSAO/VAP-1 channel may be considered as a new target area, or a "secondary binding site", for modulators of human SSAO/VAP-1 activity. These results indicate ELP 12 and Bis-Bza-Diado as new "skeletons" for the development of novel SSAO/VAP-1 and MAO B inhibitors.  相似文献

Decreased monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been observed in adipose tissue of obese patients. Since substrates of MAO and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) can modify adipocyte metabolism, this work investigates whether changes in amine oxidase activity may occur during white adipose tissue (WAT) development. We evaluated MAO and SSAO activities in WAT of high-fat diet (HFD) and low-fat diet fed mice. To distinguish the effect of HFD on its own from the effect of fat mass enlargement, obesity-prone transgenic line of the FVBn strain lacking beta3-adrenergic receptors (AR) but expressing human beta3-AR and alpha2-AR (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+, halpha2+/-) was compared to its obesity-resistant control (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+). As already reported, the former mice became obese while the latter resisted to HFD. No significant change in SSAO or MAO activity was found in WAT of both strains after HFD when expressing oxidase activity per milligram of protein. However, when considering the overall capacity of the fat depots to oxidize tyramine or benzylamine, there was an increase in MAO and SSAO activity only in the enlarged WAT of HFD-induced obese mice. Therefore, the comparison of these models allowed to demonstrate that the higher amine oxidase capacity hold in enlarged fat stores of obese mice is more likely the consequence of increased fat cell number rather than the result of an increased expression of MAO or SSAO in the adipocyte.  相似文献

We have previously reported that carp (Cyprinus carpio) tissue mitochondria contain a novel form of monoamine oxidase (MAO), which belongs neither to MAO-A nor to MAO-B of the mammalian enzyme. This conclusion results from the findings that the carp MAO was equally sensitive to a selective MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline and to the MAO-B selective inhibitor l-deprenyl, when tyramine, a substrate for both forms, serotonin or beta-phenylethylamine, a substrate for either A or B-form of mammalian MAO, was used. In the present study, we tried to detect another amine oxidase, termed tissue-bound semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), activity in carp tissues. As definition of SSAO was used, such as insensitivity to inhibition of the kynuramine oxidizing activity by an MAO inhibitor pargyline and high sensitivity to the SSAO inhibitor semicarbazide. The results indicated that the oxidizing activity was selectively and almost completely inhibited by 0.1 mM pargyline alone or a combination of 0.1 mM pargyline plus 0.1 mM semicarbazide, but not by 0.1 mM semicarbazide alone. We also tried to detect any SSAO activity by changing experimental conditions, such as lower incubation temperature, higher enzyme protein concentration, a lower substrate concentration and different pH's in the reaction, as the enzyme source. However, still no SSAO activity could be detected in the tissues. These results conclusively indicate that carp tissues so far examined do not contain SSAO activity.  相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activities are very high in white adipose tissue (WAT). SSAO, also known as Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 in vessels, is present at the surface of fat cells and independent approaches have evidenced its impressive increase during adipogenesis. However, the factors that might regulate the expression SSAO and MAO in adipose tissue are still poorly defined. Here, we report the influence of fasting on MAO and SSAO activities in adipose depots. A decrease of MAO activity occurred after three days of starvation in the intra-abdominal adipose tissue (INWAT) of male Wistar rats, regardless of their initial adiposity or fat loss. The reduced fat stores of seven-week old rats, loosing 59% of INWAT mass during fasting, contained only one half of the MAO activity found in fed control. The same reduction of MAO was observed after prolonged fasting in older rats which lose only 26% of their INWAT during the same starvation duration, leading to a fat mass comparable to that of younger fed control rats. It was therefore the endocrine and metabolic changes occurring during fasting that were responsible for the reduced MAO activity and not the amount of INWAT. Surprisingly, SSAO activity remained unchanged during starvation. In subcutaneous WAT, the changes in MAO and SSAO activities exhibited the same tendencies than those found in INWAT. Taken together, these data show that both MAO and SSAO activities increase in INWAT with age-dependent fattening, and indicate that only MAO diminishes during fasting.  相似文献

Lysyl oxidases (Lox), which are members of the amine oxidase family, are involved in the maturation of elastic lamellae and collagen fibers. Modifications of amine oxidases in idiopathic annulo-aortic ectasia disease (IAAED) have never been investigated. Our aim was to examine the expression of several proteins that might interfere with elastic fiber organization in control (n=10) and IAAED (n=18) aortic tissues obtained at surgery. Expression of amine oxidases and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), and cellular phenotypic markers were examined by immunohistopathology and confocal microscopy. The expression of these proteins was assessed in relation to clinical and histomorphological features of the arterial wall. In control aorta, SSAO staining was expressed along elastic lamellae, whereas in aneurysmal areas of IAAED, SSAO was markedly decreased, in association with severe disorganization of elastic lamellae. Smooth muscle myosin heavy chain was also decreased in IAAED compared with controls, indicating smooth muscle cell dedifferentiation. Multiple regression analysis showed that elastic lamellar thickness (ELT) was correlated positively with the SSAO:elastin ratio and negatively with the Lox:elastin ratio, and that the clinical features of IAAED (aneurysm, thoracic aorta diameter, and aortic insufficiency) were positively correlated with ELT but not with SSAO. The relationship between SSAO expression and ELT suggests that this amine oxidase may be involved in elastic fiber organization. However, in advanced IAAED, the deficit in SSAO expression could be secondary to the decrease and fragmentation of elastic fibers and/or to vascular smooth muscle cell dedifferentiation.  相似文献

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

1. Monoamine oxidase activity has been assayed in mitochondria isolated from post-neural embryos (stages 14-25) of Bufo bufo, using 5-HT and PEA as substrates. 2. Mitochondria isolated from stages 19 to 25 show an increasing ability in deaminating monoamines, PEA being metabolized at a higher level with respect to 5-HT. 3. At all the examined stages 5-HT is metabolized by an enzyme corresponding to MAO A, while PEA, from stage 19, is largely deaminated by a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). 4. The effect of Triton X-100 on MAO A activity appears remarkably different in mitochondria isolated from embryos at stages 14 and 25 respectively.  相似文献

Various mammalian tissues contain a tissue-bound amine oxidizing enzyme distinct from mitochondrial outer membrane enzyme, monoamine oxidase (MAO, EC 1.4.3.4), termed semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO, EC 1.4.3.6). An increase in SSAO activity was found in patients suffering from vascular disorders such as diabetes and diabetic complications. It has previously been shown that 2-bromoethylamine (2-BEA) is a potent, and selective suicidal inhibitor of tissue-bound SSAO. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of this suicidal SSAO inhibitor with the tissue-bound enzyme in guinea pig lung, kidney, stomach, and heart homogenates. The conditions necessary for this inhibitor to titrate the concentrations of this enzyme were also determined. 2-BEA appears to interact with SSAO, as reported previously for this enzyme from different sources, in a manner consistent with an irreversible, "suicide" reaction. Because of this property, 2-BEA could be used to titrate the concentrations of SSAO active centers in these tissues under the appropriate conditions employed. Although some possible non-specific binding of the inhibitor to sites other than the active center of the enzyme, metabolism of this inhibitor and/or presence of enzyme subtypes was hypothesized, the molecular characteristics of SSAO in these tissues (Km, Vmax values, enzyme efficiencies, approximate enzyme concentrations, and molecular turnover numbers) towards the substrate kynuramine (0.1 mM) at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C have been estimated.  相似文献

Objective: To explore the activity of monoamine oxidases (MAOs) and semicarbazide‐sensitive amine oxidases (SSAOs) in adipose tissue and blood of lean and moderately obese subjects and to study whether there is a link between these hydrogen peroxide‐generating enzymes and blood markers of oxidative stress. Research Methods and Procedures: Nine obese male subjects (BMI 32.6 ± 0.4 kg/m2) and nine controls (BMI 23.4 ± 0.5) of 24‐ to 40‐year‐old subjects were included in the study. MAO and SSAO activities were measured on microbiopsies of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue by quantifying 14C‐tyramine and 14C‐benzylamine oxidation. Levels of soluble SSAO, lipid peroxidation products, and antioxidant agents were measured in plasma, whereas cytoprotective enzymes were determined in blood lysates. Results: The high MAO activity found in adipose tissue was diminished by one‐half in obese subjects (maximum initial velocity of 1.2 vs. 2.3 nmol tyramine oxidized/mg protein/min). There was no change in SSAO activity, either under its adipose tissue‐bound or plasma‐soluble form. Plasma levels of lipid peroxidation products and antioxidant vitamins remained unmodified, as well as erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, whereas circulating triglycerides, insulin, and leptin were increased. Discussion: Although they already exhibited several signs of endocrino‐metabolic disorders, the obese men did not exhibit the increase in blood markers of oxidative stress or the decrease in antioxidant defenses reported to occur in very obese or diabetic subjects. The reduced MAO and the unchanged SSAO activities found in obesity suggest that these hydrogen peroxide‐generating enzymes expressed in adipocytes are probably not involved in the onset of the oxidative stress found in severe obesity and/or in its complications.  相似文献

The aim of the present work was to compare monoamine oxidase (MAO) and semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity in several tissues from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Contribution of MAO-A, -B and SSAO to the metabolism of each substrate in each tissue was defined from experiments where the decrease of oxidative deamination of each substrate at a given concentration was measured as a function of increasing concentrations of a selective MAO-A, -B or SSAO inhibitor. In the heart, aorta and, to a lesser extent, the femoral arteries MAO-A activity was higher in SHR than in WKY. Similarly in the liver the enzyme activity was higher in SHR than in WKY but was due to the -B form of MAO. In all the other tissues studied (duodenum, brain, lungs, adrenals and kidneys) no difference in MAO-A, MAO-B or SSAO activity was found between SHR and WKY, except for the kidneys and brain, if the differences in the weights of these organs in SHR are taken into account.  相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is widely distributed in almost tissues. However, its presence in brain microvessels is still controversial. The affinity of SSAO towards benzylamine (Bz) is considerably higher than that of monoamine oxidase (MAO). SSAO plays a role in the toxicity of several environmental and endogenous amines. SSAO-mediated production of toxic aldehydes has been proposed to be related to pathophysiological conditions. The most potent of inhibition of SSAO in monkey brain was observed by tricyclic antidepressant drug imipramine, as compared to tetracyclic drug maprotiline or non-cyclic drug nomifensine. An endogenous SSAO modulator in rat brain cytosol after immobilization stress (IMMO) was found and that this inhibitor could be induced by IMMO. SSAO activity in rat brain might be regulated by the level of this inhibitor. Semicarbazide, a SSAO inhibitor, enhances the formation of OH products of efflux/oxidation due to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+). The precise physiological functions of SSAO could play an important role in the control of energy balance in adipose tissue. SSAO could play an important role in the regulation of adipocyte homeostasis.  相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) encodes a wide family of enzymes named E.C.1.4.3.6 [amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (copper containing)] that metabolises primary aliphatic and aromatic amines. It is present in almost all vascularised and nonvascularised mammalian tissues, and it is also present in soluble form in plasma. SSAO appears to show different functions depending on the tissue where it is expressed. Here we describe, for the first time, the activation of the SSAO from human lung by human plasma. The extent of activation was greater when the human plasma came from diabetic and heart infarcted patients. A kinetic mechanism of such effect is proposed. The activation was lost after the plasma was dialysed, indicating a low molecular weight component (MW <3800 Da) to be responsible. The activator component is heat stable and resistant to proteolysis by chymotrypsin and trypsin and also resistant to perchloric acid treatment. However, treatment with 35% formic acid, completely abolished activation, suggesting involvement of lipid material. The possibility of that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), an amphiphilic phospholipid derived from the phosphatidylcholine, the major component in plasma accumulated in pathological conditions, was studied. LPC was shown to behave as a "competitive activator" of human lung SSAO at concentrations below its critical micellar concentration (CMC value=50 microM). Thus LPC may be a component of the SSAO activatory material present in human plasma.  相似文献

Two semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO's) from bovine and porcine aortic tissue were partially purified and characterized, and the stereochemical course of amine oxidation was evaluated. The porcine and bovine SSAO's were membrane bound glycoproteins, with Km values for benzylamine of 8 and 16 microM, respectively. The reactivity of SSAO with semicarbazide and phenylhydrazine suggests that the cofactor is a carbonyl type molecule. The stereochemical course of the bovine and porcine aortic semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase reaction was investigated using chiral tyramines, deuterated at C-1 and C-2, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy to establish the loss or retention of deuterium in product p-hydroxyphenethyl alcohols. The preferred mode of tyramine oxidation was found to occur with the loss of pro-S proton at C-1, coupled with solvent exchange into C-2, a pattern which has not been observed for any copper amine oxidase examined to date. The solvent exchange reaction also occurred stereospecifically, with loss from and reprotonation to the pro-R position, suggesting that these two processes occur from the same face of the enamine double bond.  相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO, type A and B) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) metabolize biogenic amines, however, the impact of these enzymes in arteries from patients with type 2 diabetes remains poorly understood. We investigated the kinetic parameters of the enzymes to establish putative correlations with noradrenaline (NA) content and patient age in human mesenteric arteries from type 2 diabetic patients. The kinetic parameters were evaluated by radiochemical assay and NA content by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The activity of MAO-A and SSAO in type 2 diabetic vascular tissues was significantly lower compared to the activity obtained in non-diabetic tissues. In the correlation between MAO-A (K(m)) and NA content, we found a positive correlation for both the diabetic and non-diabetic group, but no correlation was established for patient age. In both groups, MAO-B (V(max)) showed a negative correlation with age. The results show that MAO-A and SSAO activities and NA content of type 2 diabetic tissues are lower compared to the non-diabetic tissues, while MAO-B activity remained unchanged. These remarks suggest that MAO-A and SSAO may play an important role in vascular tissue as well as in the vascular pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

Previously published studies on the oxidative deamination of methylamine by the amine oxidases have determined the formation of radioactively labeled formaldehyde from [(14)C]methylamine. The present work describes a coupled spectrophotometric assay, using formaldehyde dehydrogenase, for the continuous determination of the oxidative deamination of methylamine by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) and its potential use for determining methylamine concentrations in plasma. In this assay, the formaldehyde produced by methylamine deamination is further oxidized to formate, with the reduction of NAD(+), by formaldehyde dehydrogenase. The NADH generated is monitored continuously at 340 nm. Interference from the presence of a rotenone-insensitive NADH oxidase activity in crude tissue homogenates and microsomal fractions can be minimized by pretreating samples with Triton X-100 or substituting NAD(+) by APAD(+) in the coupled assay. This relatively inexpensive and reproducible assay procedure avoids the use of radioactively labeled material.  相似文献

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) (E.C. 1.4.3.6) is a group of enzymes with as yet poorly understood function which is widely present in nature. The variation in methodology for determination of activity, differences in substrates used and in nomenclature have made it difficult to compare SSAO in different species and tissues. Since SSAO is implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure, our aim was to analyse the importance and abundance of SSAO in human plasma and tissues compared to other mammals. In plasma of ten different mammals, Vmax values were found to vary more than 10,000-fold, while KM differed much less; in human plasma SSAO activity is relatively low. In some species more than one SSAO entity was present in plasma. SSAO activity was ubiquitous in tissues of human, rat and pig, but varied considerably, both between species and between tissues. In human tissues, SSAO activity is higher than in tissues from rat and pig. Relative to monoamine oxidase-B there is also wide variation in SSAO, with much higher relative activities in human than in rat and pig tissues. We conclude that in plasma, SSAO activity is highest in ruminants, while in tissues, SSAO activity is more prominently present in human than in rat and pig.  相似文献

The catalytic domain of the flavin-dependent human histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) belongs to the family of amine oxidases including polyamine oxidase and monoamine oxidase (MAO). We previously assessed monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) for their ability to inhibit the reaction catalyzed by LSD1 [Lee, M. G., et al. (2006) Chem. Biol. 13, 563-567], demonstrating that trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine (2-PCPA, tranylcypromine, Parnate) was the most potent with respect to LSD1. Here we show that 2-PCPA is a time-dependent, mechanism-based irreversible inhibitor of LSD1 with a KI of 242 microM and a kinact of 0.0106 s-1. 2-PCPA shows limited selectivity for human MAOs versus LSD1, with kinact/KI values only 16-fold and 2.4-fold higher for MAO B and MAO A, respectively. Profiles of LSD1 activity and inactivation by 2-PCPA as a function of pH are consistent with a mechanism of inactivation dependent upon enzyme catalysis. Mass spectrometry supports a role for FAD as the site of covalent modification by 2-PCPA. These results will provide a foundation for the design of cyclopropylamine-based inhibitors that are selective for LSD1 to probe its role in vivo.  相似文献
