Revealing metabolic and biochemical variations via 1H NMR metabolomics in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats treated with metformin. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 708:149778. [PMID: 38507867 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
The increasing prevalence of lean diabetes has prompted the generation of animal models that mimic metabolic disease in humans. This study aimed to determine the optimum streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA) dosage ratio to elicit lean diabetic features in a rat model. It also used a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) urinary metabolomics approach to identify the metabolic effect of metformin treatment on this novel rat model. Three different STZ-NA dosage regimens (by body weight: Group A: 110 mg/kg NA and 45 mg/kg STZ; Group B: 180 mg/kg NA and 65 mg/kg STZ and Group C: 120 mg/kg NA and 60 mg/kg STZ) were administered to Sprague-Dawley rats along with oral metformin. Group A diabetic rats (A-DC) showed favorable serum biochemical analyses and a more positive response toward oral metformin administration relative to the other STZ-NA dosage ratio groups. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) revealed that glucose, citrate, pyruvate, hippurate, and methylnicotinamide differentiating the OPLS-DA of A-MTF rats (Group A diabetic rats treated with metformin) and A-DC model rats. Subsequent metabolic pathway analyses revealed that metformin treatment was associated with improvement in dysfunctions caused by STZ-NA induction, including carbohydrate metabolism, cofactor metabolism, and vitamin and amino acid metabolism. In conclusion, our results identify the best STZ-NA dosage ratio for a rat model to exhibit lean type 2 diabetic features with optimum sensitivity to metformin treatment. The data presented here could be informative to improve our understanding of non-obese diabetes in humans through the identification of possible activated metabolic pathways in the STZ-NA-induced diabetic rats model.

CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14449. [PMID: 37665158 PMCID: PMC10916433 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Chronic hyperglycemia-induced inflammation of the hippocampus is an important cause of cognitive deficits in diabetic patients. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), which is widely expressed in the hippocampus, is a crucial factor in this inflammation and the associated cognitive deficits. We aimed to reveal the underlying mechanism by which RAGE regulates neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetes-induced cognitive impairment. METHODS We used db/db mice as a model for type 2 diabetes to investigate whether receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), which is expressed in microglia in the hippocampal region, is a key protein partner for RAGE. GST pull-down assays and AutoDock Vina simulations were performed to identify the key structural domain in RAGE that binds to RIPK1. Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and immunofluorescence (IF) were used to detect the levels of key proteins or interaction between RAGE and RIPK1. Cognitive deficits in the mice were assessed with the Morris water maze (MWM) and new object recognition (NOR) and fear-conditioning tests. RESULTS RAGE binds directly to RIPK1 via the amino acid sequence (AAs) 362-367, thereby upregulating phosphorylation of RIPK1, which results in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia and ultimately leads to cognitive impairments in db/db mice. We mutated RAGE AAs 362-367 to reverse neuroinflammation in the hippocampus and improve cognitive function, suggesting that RAGE AAs 362-367 is a key structural domain that binds directly to RIPK1. These results also indicate that hyperglycemia-induced inflammation in the hippocampus is dependent on direct binding of RAGE and RIPK1. CONCLUSION Direct interaction of RAGE and RIPK1 via AAs 362-367 is an important mechanism for enhanced neuroinflammation in the hyperglycemic environment and is a key node in the development of cognitive deficits in diabetes.

Abstract
D-ribose, an ubiquitous pentose compound found in all living cells, serves as a vital constituent of numerous essential biomolecules, including RNA, nucleotides, and riboflavin. It plays a crucial role in various fundamental life processes. Within the cellular milieu, exogenously supplied D-ribose can undergo phosphorylation to yield ribose-5-phosphate (R-5-P). This R-5-P compound serves a dual purpose: it not only contributes to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production through the nonoxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) but also participates in nucleotide synthesis. Consequently, D-ribose is employed both as a therapeutic agent for enhancing cardiac function in heart failure patients and as a remedy for post-exercise fatigue. Nevertheless, recent clinical studies have suggested a potential link between D-ribose metabolic disturbances and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) along with its associated complications. Additionally, certain in vitro experiments have indicated that exogenous D-ribose exposure could trigger apoptosis in specific cell lines. This article comprehensively reviews the current advancements in D-ribose's digestion, absorption, transmembrane transport, intracellular metabolic pathways, impact on cellular behaviour, and elevated levels in diabetes mellitus. It also identifies areas requiring further investigation.

Abstract
d-Ribose is not only an important component of some biomacromolecules, but also an active pentose with strong reducibility and non-enzymatic glycation ability. Previous studies reported the diverse role of d-ribose in different cells. In this study, the effects of d-ribose on non-enzymatic glycation of hemoglobin (Hb), as well as eryptosis, oxidative stress and energy metabolism of erythrocytes were observed by molecular fluorescence spectrophotometry, multi-wavelength spectrophotometry, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS) and flow cytometer. The results showed that d-ribose had the strongest non-enzymatic glycation ability to Hb in vitro when compared with other monosaccharides, and could enter the erythrocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, which was not inhibited by the specific glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) inhibitor WZB117. In addition, d-ribose incubation increased the HbA1c, hemolysis, eryptosis, and ROS level of erythrocytes significantly more than that of d-glucose, however, no changes were observed in the levels of ATP, NADPH, and other intermediate energy metabolites in d-ribose treatment. Therefore, the strong non-enzymatic glycation ability of d-ribose may play an important role in erythrocyte damage.

Preoperative serum ribose concentrations may be associated with postoperative delirium in older patients with a hip fracture. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2023; 226:107631. [PMID: 36805349 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.107631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative neurocognitive complication, especially in older patients. However, satisfactory biomarkers for predicting individual risks of POD have not been confirmed. D-ribose involvement in protein glycation and aggregation plays a pivotal role in age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether serum D-ribose concentrations contribute to the early diagnosis of POD. We also discuss the probable mechanisms underlying the development of POD. METHODS 110 older patients with hip fracture who had undergone internal fixation or hip replacement under general anesthesia and had completed our assessments were selected. Preoperative venous blood (4 ml) was collected before the induction of anesthesia. Postoperative venous blood was obtained at 07:00 and 20:00 h on postoperative day 1 and at 20:00 h on postoperative day 2. On the first 2 postoperative days, the patients were assessed twice daily (at 8:00 and 20:00 h on each day) using the Confusion Assessment Method-Chinese Revision. RESULTS 15 patients were finally diagnosed with POD. We also included 15 patients without POD who were matched with the recruited patients with POD (1:1) on the basis of age, sex, body mass index and the Mini-Mental State Examination score. Serum ribose concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The demographic characteristics of the groups were matched. Preoperative serum ribose concentrations were significantly higher in patients with POD than in those without POD (p < 0.05) and were also an independent risk factor for POD. Moreover, when the preoperative serum ribose concentration doubled, the risk of POD increased by 1.672 times. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the serum D-ribose concentration may be a potential predictive molecular biomarker for POD, and provide useful information for further pathological mechanism studies.

Abstract
Reports concerning the beneficial effects of D-ribose administration in cardiovascular and muscle stressful conditions has led to suggestions for the use of ribose as an energizing food supplement for healthy people. However, this practice still presents too many critical issues, suggesting that caution is needed. In fact, there are many possible negative effects of this sugar that we believe are underestimated, if not neglected, by the literature supporting the presentation of the product to the market. Here, the risks deriving from the use of free ribose as ATP source, forcing ribose-5-phosphate to enter into the pentose phosphate pathway, is emphasized. On the basis of the remarkable glycation capacity of ribose, the easily predictable cytotoxic effect of the molecule is also highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND D-ribose is an aldehyde sugar and a necessary component of all living cells. Numerous reports have focused on D-ribose intervention in animal models to assess the negative effects of D-ribose on cognition. However, the results across these studies are inconsistent and the doses and actual effects of D-ribose on cognition remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of D-ribose on cognition in rodents. METHODS The articles from PubMed, Embase, Sciverse Scopus, Web of Science, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, SinoMed, Wanfang, and Cqvip databases were screened. The results from the abstract on cognitive-related behavioral tests and biochemical markers from the included articles were extracted and the reporting quality was assessed. RESULTS A total of eight trials involving 289 rodents met the eligibility criteria, and both low- and high-dose groups were included. Meta-analyses of these studies showed that D-ribose could cause a significant decrease in the number of platform crossings (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -0.80; 95% CI: -1.14, -0.46; p < 0.00001), percentage of distance traversed in the target quadrant (SMD: -1.20; 95% CI: -1.47, -0.92; p < 0.00001), percentage of time spent in the target quadrant (SMD: -0.93; 95% CI: -1.18, -0.68; p < 0.00001), and prolonged escape latency (SMD: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.65; p = 0.001) in the Morris water maze test. Moreover, D-ribose intervention increased the levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the brain (SMD: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.34, 0.63; p < 0.00001) and blood (SMD: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.92; p = 0.02). Subsequently, subgroup analysis for the dose of D-ribose intervention revealed that high doses injured cognitive function more significantly than low D-ribose doses. CONCLUSION D-ribose treatment caused cognitive impairment, and cognition deteriorated with increasing dose. Furthermore, the increase in AGEs in the blood and brain confirmed that D-ribose may be involved in cognitive impairment through non-enzymatic glycosylation resulting in the generation of AGEs. These findings provide a new research idea for unveiling basic mechanisms and prospective therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of patients with cognitive impairment.

Abstract
A reducing sugar reacts with the protein, resulting in advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which have been implicated in diabetes-related complications. Recently, it has been found that both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients suffer from not only glucose but also ribose dysmetabolism. Here, we compared the effects of ribose and glucose glycation on epigenetics, such as histone methylation and demethylation. To prepare ribose-glycated (riboglycated) proteins, we incubated 150 μM bovine serum albumin (BSA) with 1 M ribose at different time periods, and we evaluated the samples by ELISAs, Western blot analysis, and cellular experiments. Riboglycated BSA, which was incubated with ribose for approximately 7 days, showed the strongest cytotoxicity, leading to a significant decrease in the viability of SH-SY5Y cells cultured for 24 h (IC50 = 1.5 μM). A global demethylation of histone 3 (H3K4) was observed in SH-SY5Y cells accompanied with significant increases in lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1) and plant homeodomain finger protein 8 (PHF8) after treatment with riboglycated BSA (1.5 μM), but demethylation did not occur after treatment with glucose-glycated (glucoglycated) proteins or the ribose, glucose, BSA, and Tris–HCl controls. Moreover, a significant demethylation of H3K4, H3K4me3, and H3K4me2, but not H3K4me1, occurred in the presence of riboglycated proteins. A significant increase of formaldehyde was also detected in the medium of SH-SY5Y cells cultured with riboglycated BSA, further indicating the occurrence of histone demethylation. The present study provides a new insight into understanding an epigenetic mechanism of diabetes mellitus (DM) related to ribose metabolic disorders.

Abstract
A nonenzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups of proteins results in the formation of advanced glycation end products, which are linked to a number of chronic progressive diseases with macro- and microvascular complications. In this research, we sought to ascertain the immunological response to d-ibose-glycated fibrinogen. New Zealand White female rabbits were immunized with native and d-ribose-glycated (Rb-gly-Fb) fibrinogen and used for studying the immunological response. Serum from these rabbits analyzed using direct binding and competitive inhibition ELISA was found to contain a high titer of antibodies against Rb-gly-Fb; Rb-gly-Fb was much more immunogenic than its native form. The IgG against Rb-gly-Fb (Rb-gly-Fb-IgG) was highly specific against the immunogenic protein. Moreover, histopathology and immunofluorescence studies revealed the deposition of the Rb-gly-Fb-IgG immune complex in the glomerular basement membrane of the kidneys of immunized rabbits. Furthermore, immunization with Rb-gly-Fb increased the expression of genes encoding proinflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and interferon-gamma, which is indicative of increased inflammation and the antigenic role of Rb-gly-Fb in provoking an immune response.

Abstract
Background D-ribose is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease. The study aimed to determine the association between D-ribose and cognitive function in a sample of community-dwelling older adults. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Chaoyang District, Beijing in 2019–2020. Eligible participants were community-based older adults aged 60 years and above. D-ribose was analyzed from the morning urine. Cognitive function, subjective cognitive decline, and depressive symptoms were measured by a battery of neuropsychological tests. Linear regressions were performed to determine the relationship between the urine D-ribose levels and cognitive performance. Results A sample of 1725 participants (67.1% female) aged 60 to 85 years (69.40 ± 5.87 years, mean ± SD) was enrolled in the analysis. The urine D-ribose concentrations ranged from 1.53 to 208.89 μmol/L (median 38.10 μmol/L; interquartile range 22.52—64.96 μmol/L). Higher levels of D-ribose were associated with worse performance on Mini-Mental State Examination and verbal fluency when age, gender, education, depressive symptoms, and cardiovascular risk factors were included as covariates. Conclusions The urine D-ribose was negatively correlated with cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults. The findings suggest that the dysmetabolism of D-ribose may play a role at the early stage of cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with diabetes and its complications. AGEs are formed by the non-enzymatic reactions of proteins and reducing sugars, such as glucose and ribose. Ribose is widely used in glycation research as it generates AGEs more rapidly than glucose. This study analyzed the AGE structures generated from ribose-modified protein by liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Among these AGEs, Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1) was the most abundant in ribose-glycated bovine serum albumin (ribated-BSA) among others, such as Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine, Nε-(carboxyethyl) lysine, and Nω-(carboxymethyl) arginine. Surprisingly, MG-H1 was produced by ribated-BSA in a time-dependent manner, whereas methylglyoxal levels (MG) were under the detectable level. In addition, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. hot water extract (TBE) possesses several anti-oxidative compounds, such as ellagic acid, and has been reported to inhibit the formation of MG-H1 in vivo. Thus, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of TBE on MG-H1 formation using ribose- or MG-modified proteins. TBE inhibited MG-H1 formation in gelatin incubated with ribose and ribated-BSA, but not in MG-modified gelatin. Furthermore, MG-H1 formation was inhibited by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. These results demonstrated that ribose reacts with proteins to generate Amadori compounds and form MG-H1 via oxidation.

Comparison of bovine serum albumin glycation by ribose and fructose in vitro and in vivo. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2022; 1868:166283.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play a critical pathogenic role in the development of diabetic complications. Recent studies have shown that diabetes is associated with not only abnormal glucose metabolism but also abnormal ribose and fructose metabolism, although glucose is present at the highest concentration in humans. The glycation ability and contribution of ribose and fructose to diabetic complications remain unclear. Here, the glycation ability of ribose, fructose and glucose under a mimic physiological condition, in which the concentration of ribose or fructose was one-fiftieth that of glucose, was compared. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as the working protein in our experiments. Ribose generated more AGEs and was markedly more cytotoxic to SH-SY5Y cells than fructose. The first-order rate constant of ribose glycation was found to be significantly greater than that of fructose glycation. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed 41 ribose-glycated Lys residues and 12 fructose-glycated residues. Except for the shared Lys residues, ribose reacted selectively with 17 Lys, while no selective Lys was found in fructose-glycated BSA. Protein conformational changes suggested that ribose glycation may induce BSA into amyloid-like monomers compared with fructose glycation. The levels of serum ribose were correlated positively with glycated serum protein (GSP) and diabetic duration in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), respectively. These results indicate that ribose has a greater glycation ability than fructose, while ribose largely contributes to the production of AGEs and provides a new insight to understand in the occurrence and development of diabetes complications.

Abstract
Objective In this review article, we briefly describe the status of treatment options for HFpEF and the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of HFpEF as an alternative therapeutic target. We also examine the mechanisms of D-ribose in cellular energy production and discuss the potential disadvantages and benefits of supplemental use of D-ribose in patients with HFpEF. Background Heart failure is a major cardiovascular disease that impacts over 6 million Americans and is one of the leading causes for morbidity and mortality. Patients with heart failure often experience shortness of breath and fatigue along with impaired physical capacity, all leading to poor quality of life. As a subtype of heart failure, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized with impaired diastolic function. Currently, there are no effective treatments specifically for HFpEF, thus clinicians and researchers are searching for therapies to improve cardiac function. Emerging evidence indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired cardiac bioenergetics are among the underlying mechanisms for HFpEF. There is increased interest in investigating the use of supplements such as D-ribose to enhance mitochondrial function and improve production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Methods For this narrative review, more than 100 relevant scientific articles were considered from various databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Google Scholar) using the keywords “Heart Failure”, “HFpEF”, “D-ribose”, “ATP”, “Mitochondria”, Bioenergetics”, and “Cellular Respiration”. Conclusions It is essential to find potential targeted therapeutic treatments for HFpEF. Since there is evidence that the HFpEF is related to impaired myocardial bioenergetics, enhancing mitochondrial function could augment cardiac function. Using a supplement such as D-ribose could improve mitochondrial function by increasing ATP and enhancing cardiac performance for patients with HFpEF. There is a recently completed clinical trial with HFpEF patients that indicates D-ribose increases ATP production and improves cardiac ejection fraction.

Abstract
d-ribose, a reducing sugar, in diabetic hyperglycemia provokes non-enzymatic glycoxidation of hemoglobin (Hb), an abundant protein of red blood cells (RBCs). Different types of intermediates adduct formation occur during glycoxidation, such as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which lead to amyloid formation due to structural and conformational alterations in protein. Therefore, the study of these intermediate adducts plays a pivotal role to discern their relationship with diabetes mellitus and related disorders. Here, we investigated the interaction mechanism of d-ribose with Hb, and Hb prebound phytochemical thymoquinone (TQ). Our investigation reveals that the interaction of TQ with histidine residues of Hb interferes with the interaction of d-ribose with glycine residues at the glycation-site. Based on that, we had performed a time-based (21-days) in-vitro glycoxidation study at 37 °C to investigate the structural perturbation mechanism of Hb at different time-intervals in absence/presence of TQ. We found that prolonged glycoxidation induces amyloid formation in absence of TQ but in its presence, the process was prohibited. In summary, this study examined and characterized biophysically different intermediate-states of protein carrying glycoxidation-modification. Our findings suggested that TQ potentially affects interaction of d-ribose with Hb that prevents glycoxidation and protofibril formation, which establishes TQ as a potential therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Protein glycation is an important protein post-translational modification and is one of the main pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. Other than glycated hemoglobin, the protein glycation of other globins such as myoglobin (Mb) is less studied. The protein glycation of human Mb with ribose has not been reported, and the glycation sites in the Mb remain unknown. This article reports that d-ribose undergoes rapid protein glycation of human myoglobin (HMb) at lysine residues (K34, K87, K56, and K147) on the protein surface, as identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Moreover, glycation by d-ribose at these sites slightly decreased the rate of the met heme (FeIII) in reaction with H2O2 to form a ferryl heme (FeIV=O). This study provides valuable insight into the protein glycation by d-ribose and provides a foundation for studying the structure and function of glycated heme proteins.

Abstract
The presence of excess glucose promotes hemoglobin glycation via the biochemical modification of hemoglobin by dicarbonyl products. However, the precise effects of Hb-AGEs in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are not known to date. Therefore, we investigated the tentative effects of Hb-AGEs in HUVECs. Initially, we used the AGE formation assay to examine the selectivity of MGO toward various proteins. Among all proteins, MGO-Hb-AGEs formation was higher compared to the formation of other dicarbonyl-mediated AGEs. Our next data demonstrated that treatment with 0.5 mg/mL of Hb-AGEs-4w significantly reduced cell viability in HUVECs. Further, we evaluated the role of MGO in conformational and structural changes in Hb. The results showed that Hb demonstrated a highly altered conformation upon incubation with MGO. Moreover, Hb-AGEs-4w treatment strongly increased ROS production, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential in HUVECs, and moderately reduced the expression of phosphorylated forms of p-38 and JNK. We observed that Hb-AGEs-4w treatment increased the number of apoptotic cells and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and cleaved the nuclear enzyme PARP in HUVECs. Finally, Hb-AGEs also inhibited migration and proliferation of HUVECs, thus be physiologically significant in endothelial dysfunction. Taken together, our data suggest that Hb-AGEs may play a critical role in inducing vascular endothelial cell damage. Therefore, this study may provide a plausible explanation for the potential Hb-AGEs in human endothelial cell dysfunction of diabetic patients.

Abstract
The quality of life of patients with certain diseases may be improved through the development of technologies and advancements in pharmacology, with the aim of prolonging their life. However, congestive heart failure (CHF), as well their complications, continue to be the leading cause of disease-associated death. The mechanisms underlying the development and progression of diabetes and CHF have been uncovered in a stepwise manner and the understanding of these mechanisms has improved the management of these diseases, resulting in reduced mortality and morbidity rates; however, CHF remains the leading cause of death worldwide, particularly in developed countries. In the past decades, research has indicated that several supplements and naturally occurring compounds may be used to treat muscle weakness, for cardiac failure management, rehabilitation following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and various complications of diabetes. D-ribose is an essential component of the respiratory, skeletal and nervous systems and is a popular compound, as its supplementation may have beneficial effects. In the present review, the physiological roles, toxic reactions and the potential use of D-ribose in the management of clinical diseases are summarized.

OBJECTIVE It was aimed at comparing the glycating capacities of glucose and ribose in bovine serum albumin (BSA) and anti-glycation activity of pomegranate mesocarp extract (PME). The protective mechanism of PME against ribosylated BSA (BSARIB)-induced toxicity was also investigated. METHODS BSA was incubated with glucose or ribose in the presence or absence of PME for 15 days. In preadipocytes pretreated with PME, cell viability, ROS production, lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial membrane potential were investigated following 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h exposure to BSARIB. Nuclear translocation of NFκB was assessed at 1 h and 24 h of BSARIB insult. Accumulation of oxidized proteins, activities of intrinsic antioxidant enzymes and IL-6 secretion were also determined after 24 h exposure to BSARIB. RESULTS Ribose was a harsher glycating agent as compared to glucose and PME showed strong anti-glycation activity by suppressing (P < 0.05) the increase in levels of fluorescent AGEs, Amadori products, protein carbonyl and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). In preadipocytes, BSARIB potentiated pro-apoptotic activity by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NFκB. BSARIB induced a time dependent decrease in cell viability, which was significantly suppressed (P < 0.05) by PME. The extract also significantly reduced (P < 0.05) the time dependent increase in ROS level and associated lipid peroxidation as well as loss in mitochondrial membrane potential caused by BSARIB. PME also counteracted the BSARIB-induced accumulation of oxidized proteins, decrease in intrinsic antioxidant activity and IL-6 over-secretion. CONCLUSIONS PME showed anti-glycation activity and afforded protection against BSARIB-induced toxicity, oxidative stress and inflammation in preadipocytes.

Abstract
Monosaccharide composition of biological samples can reflect an individual's health status. Monitoring the concentration of individual monosaccharides in human serum requires a technique for the simultaneous analysis of multiple monosaccharide molecules. Furthermore, certified reference materials (CRMs) for overall monosaccharide composition of human serum are required in order to validate the performance of clinical laboratory instruments. In the present study, we present a novel method for the simultaneous analysis of numerous monosaccharide molecules without the need for derivatization or post-column treatment. We utilized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-quadrupole/orbitrap mass spectrometry incorporating a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) column. We optimized the precursor ions, product ions, mobile phase composition and gradient program, flow rate, and column temperature. Seven monosaccharides (D-Ribose, L-Arabinose, D-Xylose, D-Fructose, D-Mannose, D-Galactose and D-Glucose) were able to be separated and quantified. We validated the method and the seven molecules showed favorable limits of detection and quantification, recovery rates, carry-over effects, intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision, resolution, and measurement uncertainty. We analyzed human serum samples using the method. To avoid ion suppression and D-d2-Glucose peak interference, compounds present at concentrations outside of the calibration range were analyzed from diluted samples. Quantification of serum samples corroborated some previous clinical research, in that increased D-Glucose concentration was associated with increased concentrations of D-Mannose and D-Ribose. We also validated the CRMs, and expect these to have utility as standards for serum monosaccharide profiling, thus contributing to public health.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been clearlylinked to oxidative stress and amylin amyloidosis in pancreatic β-cells. Yet despite extensive investigation, the biological significance of this is not fully understood. Recently, we proposed that Alzheimer's disease (AD)-relevant amyloidogenic proteins (APs), such as amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, might be involved in evolvability against diverse stressors in the brain. Given the analogous cellular stress environments shared by both T2DM and AD, the objective of this study is to explore T2DM pathogenesis from the viewpoint of amyloidogenic evolvability. Similar to AD-related APs, protofibrillar amylin might confer resistance against the multiple stressors in β-cells and be transmitted to offspring to deliver stress information, in the absence of which, type 1 DM (T1DM) in offspring might develop. On the contrary, T2DM may be manifested through an antagonistic pleiotropy mechanism during parental aging. Such evolvability-associated processes might be affected by parental diabetic conditions, including T1DM and T2DM. Furthermore, the T2DM-mediated increase in AD risk during aging might be attributed to an interaction of amylin with AD-related APs through evolvability, in which amylin protofibrillar formation presumably caused by adiponectin (APN) resistance could increase protofibril formation of AD-related APs in evolvability and subsequently lead to T2DM promotion of AD through antagonistic pleiotropy in aging. This suggests that targeting APN combined with an anti-T2DM agent might be therapeutic against neurodegeneration. Collectively, T1DM and T2DM might be linked through amylin evolvability, and a better understanding of amyloidogenic evolvability might also reveal clues to therapeutic interventions for AD comorbid with T2DM.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been implicated in the disease process of diabetes mellitus. They have also been found in senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. Furthermore, abnormally high levels of D-ribose and D-glucose were found in the urine of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, suggesting that diabetic patients suffer from dysmetabolism of not only D-glucose but also D-ribose. In the present study, intravenous tail injections of ribosylated rat serum albumin (RRSA) were found to impair memory in rats, but they did not markedly impair learning, as measured by the Morris water maze test. Injections of RRSA were found to trigger tau hyperphosphorylation in the rat hippocampus via GSK-3β activation. Tau hyperphosphorylation and GSK-3β activation were also observed in N2a cells in the presence of ribosylation-derived AGEs. Furthermore, the administration of ribosylation-derived AGEs induced the suppression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB). Both GSK-3β inhibition and BDNF treatment decreased the levels of phosphorylated tau in N2a cells. In particular, the administration of BDNF could rescue memory failure in ribosylated AGE-injected rats. Ribosylation-derived AGEs downregulated the BDNF-TrkB pathway in rat brains and N2a cells, leading to GSK-3β activation-mediated tau hyperphosphorylation, which was involved in the observed rat memory loss. Targeting ribosylation may be a promising therapeutic strategy to prevent Alzheimer's disease and diabetic encephalopathies.

Abstract
Diabetes-associated organ fibrosis, marked by elevated cellular senescence, is a growing health concern. Intriguingly, the mechanism underlying this association remained unknown. Moreover, insulin alone can neither reverse organ fibrosis nor the associated secretory phenotype, favoring the exciting notion that thus far unknown mechanisms must be operative. Here, we show that experimental type 1 and type 2 diabetes impairs DNA repair, leading to senescence, inflammatory phenotypes, and ultimately fibrosis. Carbohydrates were found to trigger this cascade by decreasing the NAD+ /NADH ratio and NHEJ-repair in vitro and in diabetes mouse models. Restoring DNA repair by nuclear over-expression of phosphomimetic RAGE reduces DNA damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, thereby restoring organ function. Our study provides a novel conceptual framework for understanding diabetic fibrosis on the basis of persistent DNA damage signaling and points to unprecedented approaches to restore DNA repair capacity for resolution of fibrosis in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
The recruitment of the furanosidic scaffold of ribose as the crucial step for nucleotides and then for nucleic acids synthesis is presented. Based on the view that the selection of molecules to be used for relevant metabolic purposes must favor structurally well-defined molecules, the inadequacy of ribose as a preferential precursor for nucleotides synthesis is discussed. The low reliability of ribose in its furanosidic hemiacetal form must have played ab initio against the choice of d-ribose for the generation of d-ribose-5-phosphate, the fundamental precursor of the ribose moiety of nucleotides. The latter, which is instead generated through the 'pentose phosphate pathway' is strictly linked to the affordable and reliable pyranosidic structure of d-glucose.

Abstract
Glycation of biological macromolecules, due to hyperglycemia, promotes the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). It is accelerated in diabetic patients and is responsible for the pathophysiology and progression of diabetes. Previous reports have shown that amount of AGEs formation and glycation-induced structural damage is higher in hemoglobin (Hb) than other proteins present in blood. In our previous study, we have shown structural changes in Hb by D-ribose which may result into the generation of immunogenic neo-epitopes. Thus, we hypothesized that D-ribose induced structural perturbations in Hb, could result in the formation of neo-epitopes which may provoke an auto-immune response and may also be involved in the immuno-pathogenesis of diabetes type-2 associated complications. Therefore, in the current study, we analyzed the prevalence of autoantibodies in diabetic patient's sera against D-ribose glycated-Hb by direct binding and competitive ELISA. Direct binding ELISA confirmed that autoantibodies in diabetic patients exhibit significantly high binding with D-ribose glycated-Hb as compared to its native form. The antigen binding specificity of these antibodies was also screened by competitive inhibition ELISA. We also used D-glucose glycated-Hb as a positive control to detect the presence of auto-antibodies by direct binding and inhibiton ELISA. We found that D-glucose glycated-Hb binds with T2DM samples but the affinity to binding is lower than D-ribose glycated-Hb. The overall findings of this study suggest the prevalence of circulating autoantibodies against D-ribose glycated-Hb in diabetic patients and thus, the level of these autoantibodies may be used as biomarker for progression of diabetes.

Abstract
Both amyloid-β (Aβ) and insulin are amyloidogenic peptides, and they play a critical role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type-2 diabetes (T2D). Misfolded or aggregated Aβ and glycated insulin are commonly found in AD and T2D patients, respectively, and exhibit neurotoxicity and oxidative stress. The present study examined the anti-Aβ25-35 aggregation and anti-insulin glycation activities of five phlorotannins isolated from Ecklonia stolonifera. Thioflavin-T assay results suggest that eckol, dioxinodehydroeckol, dieckol, and phlorofucofuroeckol-A (PFFA) significantly inhibit Aβ25-35 self-assembly. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation analyses confirmed that these phlorotannins have a strong potential to interact with Aβ25-35 peptides and interrupt their self-assembly and conformational transformation, thereby inhibiting Aβ25-35 aggregation. In addition, PFFA dose-dependently inhibited d-ribose and d-glucose induced non-enzymatic insulin glycation. To understand the molecular mechanism for insulin glycation and its inhibition, we predicted the binding site of PFFA in insulin via computational analysis. Interestingly, PFFA strongly interacted with the Phe1 in insulin chain-B, and this interaction could block d-glucose access to the glycation site of insulin. Taken together, our novel findings suggest that phlorofucofuroeckol-A could be a new scaffold for AD treatment by inhibiting the formation of β-sheet rich structures in Aβ25-35 and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in insulin.

Abstract
Although many mechanisms have been proposed for diabetic encephalopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the risk factors for cognitive impairment in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are less clear. Here, we show that streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM rats showed cognitive impairment in both Y maze and Morris water maze assays, accompanied with D-ribose was significantly increased in blood and urine, in addition to D-glucose. Furthermore, advanced glycation end products (AGE), Tau hyperphosphorylation and neuronal death in the hippocampal CA4/DG region were detected in T1DM rats. The expression and activity of transketolase (TKT), an important enzyme in the pentose shunt, were decreased in the brain, indicating that TKT may be involved in D-ribose metabolism in T1DM. Support for these change was demonstrated by the activation of TKT with benfotiamine (BTMP) treatment. Decreased D-ribose levels but not D-glucose levels; markedly reduced AGE accumulation, Tau hyperphosphorylation, and neuronal death; and improved cognitive ability in T1DM rats were shown after BTMP administration. In clinical investigation, T1DM patients had high D-ribose levels in both urine and serum. Our work suggests that D-ribose is involved in the cognitive impairment in T1DM and may provide a potentially novel target for treating diabetic encephalopathy.

Abstract
d-Ribose is active in glycation and rapidly produces advanced glycation end products, leading to cell death and to cognitive impairment in mice. Glycated serum protein (GSP) is a relatively short-term biomarker for glycemic control in diabetes mellitus. However, whether d-ribose is related to GSP is unclear. The aim of this work was to identify the contribution of d-ribose to GSP compared to d-glucose. Here, we showed that the yield of glycated human serum albumin with d-ribose was at least two-fold higher than that with d-glucose in a 2-week incubation. The glycation of human serum albumin (HSA) with d-ribose was much faster than that with d-glucose, as determined by monitoring changes in the fluorescent intensity of glycation products with time. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry revealed that 17 and 7 lysine residues on HSA were glycated in the presence of d-ribose and d-glucose, respectively, even when the concentration ratio [d-ribose]/[d-glucose] was 1/50. The intraperitoneal injection of d-ribose significantly increased the GSP levels in Sprague Dawley rats, but the injection of d-glucose did not. The level of d-ribose was more positively associated with GSP than the level of d-glucose in streptozotocin-treated rats. In diabetic patients, the levels of both d-ribose and d-glucose were closely related to the level of GSP. Together, these in vitro and in vivo findings indicated that d-ribose is an important contributor to the glycation of serum protein, compared to d-glucose. To assess GSP levels in diabetes mellitus, we should consider the contribution from d-ribose, which plays a nonnegligible role.

PLoS One 2019; 14:e0214725. [PMID: 30986221 PMCID: PMC6464172 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0214725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2018] [Accepted: 03/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetic hyperglycemia provokes glycation of haemoglobin (Hb), an abundant protein in red blood cells (RBCs), by increasing its exposure to carbohydrates. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA; Aspirin) is one of the first agents, which its antiglycation effect was witnessed. Although the precise molecular mechanism of action of ASA on protein glycation is not indisputably perceived, acetylation as its main molecular mechanism has been proposed. This report aims to unravel the meticulous mechanism of action of ASA by using two ASA analogues; benzoic acid (BA) and para-nitrobenzoic acid (NBA), despite their lack of acetyl group. In this regard, the inhibitory effect of these two chemicals in comparison with ASA on Hb fructation is reported. UV-visible spectroscopy, intrinsic advanced glycation end products (AGE) fluorescence spectroscopy, extrinsic thioflavin T (ThT) binding fluorescence spectroscopy, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBSA) assay, and single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) were used to explore the effects of BA and NBA in comparison with aforementioned chemicals in the context of protein glycation. In spite of the lack of acetyl substitution, NBA is reported as a novel agent with prominent inhibitory efficacy than ASA on the protein glycation. This fact brings up a possible new mechanism of action of ASA and reconsiders acetylation as the sole mechanism of inhibition of protein glycation.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is toxic and has been implicated in the pathologies of various diseases, such as cognitive impairment and cancer. Though d-ribose is widely studied and provided as a supplement to food such as flavor and drinks, no laboratories have reported that d-ribose is involved in the formaldehyde production. Here, we show that formaldehyde is produced from d-ribose in lysine or glycine solution and Tris-HCl buffer under neutral and alkaline conditions. Intraperitoneal injection of C57BL/6J mice with d-ribose significantly increased the concentration of brain formaldehyde, compared to the injection with d-glucose or saline. These data suggest that formaldehyde levels should be monitored for the people who take d-ribose as a supplement.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation occurs rapidly which ultimately leads to the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These AGEs have shown to associated with the development of many diseases such as diabetes-mellitus. This study is focused on immunological characterization of glycated-Hb induced by d-ribose. Here, we analysed the immunogenicity of glycated-Hb by direct binding and competitive inhibition ELISA. Direct binding ELISA confirmed that glycated-Hb was highly immunogenic and induced high titre antibodies as compared to native-Hb. The antigen binding specificity and cross reactivity of these antibodies were also screened by competitive inhibition ELISA. The IgG from rabbit sera showed enhanced binding of glycated-Hb than native-Hb. Thus, it is possible that alterations in Hb induced by d-ribose could have generated highly immunogenic neoepitopes. Moreover, induced antibodies were also found to cross-react with other modified/native proteins. On the basis of the results of this study, we presume that this type of structural perturbations in Hb in vivo by d-ribose might take place in untreated diabetic condition that could induce such type of immunogenic auto-antibodies. Furthermore, increased level of these auto-antibodies could serve as a biomarker in diabetes and its progression.
