Abstract
BACKGROUND CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide), an endogenous short peptide in the natriuretic peptide family, has emerged as an important regulator to govern vascular homeostasis. However, its role in the development of atherosclerosis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of CNP on the progression of atherosclerotic plaques and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Plasma CNP levels were measured in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The potential atheroprotective role of CNP was evaluated in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice through CNP supplementation via osmotic pumps, genetic overexpression, or LCZ696 administration. Various functional experiments involving CNP treatment were performed on primary macrophages derived from wild-type and CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36) knockout mice. Proteomics and multiple biochemical analyses were conducted to unravel the underlying mechanism. RESULTS We observed a negative correlation between plasma CNP concentration and the burden of coronary atherosclerosis in patients. In early atherosclerotic plaques, CNP predominantly accumulated in macrophages but significantly decreased in advanced plaques. Supplementing CNP via osmotic pumps or genetic overexpression ameliorated atherosclerotic plaque formation and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE-/- mice. CNP promoted an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype and efferocytosis and reduced foam cell formation and necroptosis. Mechanistically, we found that CNP could accelerate HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha) degradation in macrophages by enhancing the interaction between PHD (prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein) 2 and HIF-1α. Furthermore, we observed that CD36 bound to CNP and mediated its endocytosis in macrophages. Moreover, we demonstrated that the administration of LCZ696, an orally bioavailable drug recently approved for treating chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, could amplify the bioactivity of CNP and ameliorate atherosclerotic plaque formation. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that CNP enhanced plaque stability and alleviated macrophage inflammatory responses by promoting HIF-1α degradation, suggesting a novel atheroprotective role of CNP. Enhancing CNP bioactivity may offer a novel pharmacological strategy for treating related diseases.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2023; 750:109808. [PMID: 37918647 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2023.109808] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous group of compounds that are non-enzymatically produced by reactions between carbonyl compounds and proteins. Many types of AGEs are produced according to the type or concentration of the reacting carbonyl compound. We have previously demonstrated that a glycolaldehyde-derived AGE suppresses stimulator of interferon gene (STING)/TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/interferon regulatory transcription factor 3 (IRF3), which is a component of the innate immune system. In this report, we investigated the effects of AGEs prepared by several carbonyl compounds on STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling. AGEs used in the present study were numbered based on the carbonyl compound type: AGE1, derived from glucose; AGE2, derived from glyceraldehyde; AGE3, derived from glycolaldehyde; AGE4, derived from methylglyoxal; and AGE5, derived from glyoxal. AGEs derived from aldehyde (AGE2 and AGE3) and dicarbonyl compounds (AGE4 and AGE5) suppressed cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP)-induced activation of STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling, with different suppression efficiencies observed. Lysine modification by carbonyl compounds was related to the efficiency of the suppressive effect on STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling. Among the AGEs used, only AGE1 enhanced cGAMP-induced activation of STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling. Enhancing the modulation of STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling by AGE1 was mediated by toll-like receptor 4. These results indicated that modulation of STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling by prepared AGEs is dependent on the type and concentration of the carbonyl compound present. Modulating STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling by AGEs may involve modification of lysine residues in proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It was aimed at determining which polyphenolic compound(s) in pomegranate mesocarp extract (PME) is liable for the antioxidant, anti-glycation and anti-CD36 activities. METHODS The PME was fractionated using liquid-liquid extraction method. The fractions were tested for their polyphenolic content, antioxidant potency, anti-glycation activity and anti-CD36 potential. The metabolite compositions of PME and derived fractions were investigated in an untargeted manner using metabolomics in relation to its antioxidant and anti-glycation activities. RESULTS The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of the pomegranate mesocarp demonstrated highest antioxidant and anti-glycation potencies. These fractions, represented by gallic and ellagic acids monomers, were enriched in tannins and phenolic acids. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminate analysis (OPLS-DA) modeling of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) metabolite profiles from the different pomegranate mesocarp fractions indicated that gallic and ellagic acids were potential contributors to the antioxidant and anti-glycation effects of the pomegranate mesocarp. At cellular level, the polyphenolic-rich crude extract as well as the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous residual fractions suppressed the protein expression of CD36. The anti-CD36 activity of these extracts and fractions was attributed to the presence of punicalagin, the ellagitannins that occurred in equal amount in the different fractions. CONCLUSION This work demonstrated the protective effect of the non-edible part of the pomegranate fruit and showed that gallic and ellagic acids account for the antioxidant and anti-glycation activities while punicalagin is liable for the anti-CD36 activity of PME.

Abstract
Being one of the main proteins in the human body and many
animal species, albumin plays a crucial role in the transport of
various ions, electrically neutral molecules and in maintaining
the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood. Albumin is able to
bind almost all known drugs, many nutraceuticals and toxic substances,
determining their pharmaco- and toxicokinetics. However, albumin
is not only the passive but also the active participant of the pharmacokinetic
and toxicokinetic processes possessing a number of enzymatic activities.
Due to the thiol group of Cys34, albumin can serve as a trap for
reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, thus participating in redox
processes. The interaction of the protein with blood cells, blood
vessels, and also with tissue cells outside the vascular bed is
of great importance. The interaction of albumin with endothelial glycocalyx
and vascular endothelial cells largely determines its integrative
role. This review provides information of a historical nature, information
on evolutionary changes, inflammatory and antioxidant properties
of albumin, on its structural and functional modifications and their significance
in the pathogenesis of some diseases.

Abstract
Background: Little is known about the effects of hypoxia on scavenger receptors (SRs) levels in adipocytes. We analyzed the effect of morbid obesity and hypoxia on SRs and inflammation markers in human visceral adipocytes and whether ox-LDL modify the inflammatory profile produced by hypoxia. Methods: We studied in 17 non-obese and 20 subjects with morbid obesity (MO) the mRNA expression of HIF-1α, SRs (LOX-1, MSR1, CL-P1 and CXCL16), IL6 and TNFα in visceral adipocytes and the effect of hypoxia with or without ox-LDL on visceral in vitro-differentiated adipocytes (VDA). Results: HIF-1α, TNFα, IL6, LOX-1, MSR1 and CXCL16 expression in adipocytes was increased in MO when compared with those in non-obese subjects (p < 0.05). The expression of most of the inflammatory markers and SRs gene correlated with HIF-1α. In VDA, hypoxia increased TNFα, IL6, MSR1, CXCL16 and CL-P1 (p < 0.05) in non-obese subjects, and TNFα, IL6, MSR1 and CXCL16 (p < 0.05) in MO. Silencing HIF-1α prevented the increase of TNFα, IL6, LOX-1, MSR1, CL-P1 and CXCL16 expression (p < 0.05). The combination of hypoxia and ox-LDL produced higher TNFα expression (p = 0.041). Conclusions: Morbid obesity and hypoxia increased SRs and inflammatory markers in visceral adipocytes. In a hypoxic state, ox-LDL increased the proinflammatory response of visceral adipocytes to hypoxia.

Abstract
Toxic advanced glycation end products (toxic AGEs) derived from glycolaldehyde (AGE3) have been implicated in the development of diabetic vascular complications such as retinopathy characterised by excessive angiogenesis. Different receptor types, such as receptor for AGEs (RAGE), Toll like receptor-4 and scavenger receptors, are expressed in endothelial cells and contribute to AGE-elicited alteration of cell function. In the present study, we examined the involvement of AGE-related receptors on AGE-induced angiogenesis in endothelial cells. The effects of pharmacological inhibitors or receptor neutralizing antibodies on AGE3-induced tube formation were investigated using the in vitro Matrigel tube formation assay in b.End5 cells (mouse endothelial cells). AGE3-induced signalling pathways and receptor expression changes were analysed by Western blot analysis and flow cytometry, respectively. Both FPS-ZM1, a RAGE inhibitor, and fucoidan, a ligand for scavenger receptors, suppressed AGE3-induced tube formation. Cocktails of neutralizing antibodies against the scavenger receptors CD36, CD163 and LOX-1 prevented AGE3-induced tube formation. AGE3 activated mTOR signalling, resulting in facilitation of tube formation. Activation of the AGE-RAGE pathway also led to the upregulation of scavenger receptors. Taken together, our findings suggest that the scavenger receptors CD36, CD163 and LOX-1 in conjunction with the RAGE receptor work together to mediate toxic AGE-induced facilitation of angiogenesis.

Being one of the main proteins in the human body and many animal species, albumin plays a decisive role in the transport of various ions-electrically neutral and charged molecules-and in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood. Albumin is able to bind to almost all known drugs, as well as many nutraceuticals and toxic substances, largely determining their pharmaco- and toxicokinetics. Albumin of humans and respective representatives in cattle and rodents have their own structural features that determine species differences in functional properties. However, albumin is not only passive, but also an active participant of pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic processes, possessing a number of enzymatic activities. Numerous experiments have shown esterase or pseudoesterase activity of albumin towards a number of endogeneous and exogeneous esters. Due to the free thiol group of Cys34, albumin can serve as a trap for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, thus participating in redox processes. Glycated albumin makes a significant contribution to the pathogenesis of diabetes and other diseases. The interaction of albumin with blood cells, blood vessels and tissue cells outside the vascular bed is of great importance. Interactions with endothelial glycocalyx and vascular endothelial cells largely determine the integrative role of albumin. This review considers the esterase, antioxidant, transporting and signaling properties of albumin, as well as its structural and functional modifications and their significance in the pathogenesis of certain diseases.

Abstract
The anti-atherogenic activity of HDL is mainly due to their capacity to mediate reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). However, it is not clear to what extent this activity is affected by aging or pro-atherogenic conditions. Three and 24-month-old C57Bl/6 mice were fed an atherogenic diet (high fat, high cholesterol) for 12 weeks. The aged mice displayed a significant reduction in the capacity of HDL to mediate RCT (29.03%, p < 0.0006). Interestingly, the atherogenic diet significantly stimulated the RCT process in both young and aged mice (241% and 201%, respectively, p < 0.01). However, despite this, significant amounts of cholesterol accumulated in the aortas of mice fed an atherogenic diet as compared to regular chow. The accumulation of cholesterol was more marked in the aortas of aged mice (110% increase, p < 0.002). ABCA1 and ABCG1 protein expression on macrophages decreased significantly (52 to 37% reduction, p < 0.002), whereas their expression on hepatic cells increased significantly (up to 590% for ABCA1 and 116% for ABCG1, p < 0.002). On the other hand, SR-BI protein expression on hepatic cells decreased significantly (42.85%, p < 0.0001). ABCG5, ABCG8, and CYP7a protein expression on hepatic cells was also higher in mice fed an atherogenic diet. The increase was age-dependent for both ABCG5 and ABCG8. Our results suggest that the susceptibility to diet-induced atherosclerosis is exacerbated with aging and is a consequence of the dysregulation of the expression levels of membrane cholesterol transporters.

Abstract
A range of chemically different compounds are known to inhibit the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) or disrupt associated signalling pathways. There is evidence that some of these agents can provide end-organ protection in chronic diseases including diabetes. Whilst this group of therapeutics are structurally and functionally different and have a range of mechanisms of action, they ultimately reduce the deleterious actions and the tissue burden of advanced glycation end products. To date it remains unclear if this is due to the reduction in tissue AGE levels per se or the modulation of downstream signal pathways. Some of these agents either stimulate antioxidant defence or reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), modify lipid profiles and inhibit inflammation. A number of existing treatments for glucose lowering, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia are also known to reduce AGE formation as a by-product of their action. Targeted AGE formation inhibitors or AGE cross-link breakers have been developed and have shown beneficial effects in animal models of diabetic complications as well as other chronic conditions. However, only a few of these agents have progressed to clinical development. The failure of clinical translation highlights the importance of further investigation of the advanced glycation pathway, the diverse actions of agents which interfere with AGE formation, cross-linking or AGE receptor activation and their effect on the development and progression of chronic diseases including diabetic complications. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are (1) proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars or (2) non-proteinaceous oxidised lipids. They are implicated in ageing and the development, or worsening, of many degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney and Alzheimer's disease. Several antihypertensive and antidiabetic agents and statins also indirectly lower AGEs. Direct AGE inhibitors currently investigated include pyridoxamine and epalrestat, the inhibition of the formation of reactive dicarbonyls such as methylglyoxal as an important precursor of AGEs via increased activation of the detoxifying enzyme Glo-1 and inhibitors of NOX-derived ROS to reduce the AGE/RAGE signalling.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are an assorted group of molecules formed through covalent bonds between a reduced sugar and a free amino group of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Glycation alters their structure and function, leading to impaired cell function. They can be originated by physiological processes, when not counterbalanced by detoxification mechanisms, or derive from exogenous sources such as food, cigarette smoke, and air pollution. Their accumulation increases inflammation and oxidative stress through the activation of various mechanisms mainly triggered by binding to their receptors (RAGE). So far, the pathogenic role of AGEs has been evidenced in inflammatory and chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetic nephropathy. This review focuses on the AGE-induced kidney damage, by describing the molecular players involved and investigating its link to the excess of body weight and visceral fat, hallmarks of obesity. Research regarding interventions to reduce AGE accumulation has been of great interest and a nutraceutical approach that would help fighting chronic diseases could be a very useful tool for patients’ everyday lives.

Abstract
Mankind exposure to chemicals in the past century has increased dramatically throughout environment. There is no question that chemicals interfere with the physiology of biological system. Abundance of chemicals is documented to be detrimental to human and wildlife. The mammalian endocrine system is comprised of many interacting tissues mediate themselves through hormones that are essential for metabolism, growth and development. Humans secrete over fifty different hormones to orchestrate major physiological functions however; these vital functions can be intervened by huge number of internal and external chemical stressors that are identified as endocrine disruptors. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), familiarly known as Maillard products, formed through non-enzymatic glycation whose production is augmented on aging as well as environmental stressors. Processed foods have become very popular today due to their taste, convenience, and inexpensiveness. Manufacture of these day-to-day foods involves extreme temperatures on processing results in the formation of AGEs could independently promote oxidative stress, aging, diabetes, cancer, degenerative diseases, more fascinatingly hormonal disruption is the subject of interest of this review. Based on some substantial observations documented till time, we discuss the emergence of dietary AGEs as potential endocrine disruptors by emphasizing their occurrence, mechanisms and participation in endocrine interruption. Both economically and in terms of human life, AGEs may represent an enormous cost for the future society. Therefore, by explicating their novel role in endocrine diseases, the review strives to make an impact on AGEs and their exposure among public as well as scientific communities.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that mouse dermis is composed of functionally distinct fibroblast lineages. To explore the extent of fibroblast heterogeneity in human skin, we used a combination of comparative spatial transcriptional profiling of human and mouse dermis and single-cell transcriptional profiling of human dermal fibroblasts. We show that there are at least four distinct fibroblast populations in adult human skin, not all of which are spatially segregated. We define markers permitting their isolation and show that although marker expression is lost in culture, different fibroblast subpopulations retain distinct functionality in terms of Wnt signaling, responsiveness to IFN-γ, and ability to support human epidermal reconstitution when introduced into decellularized dermis. These findings suggest that ex vivo expansion or in vivo ablation of specific fibroblast subpopulations may have therapeutic applications in wound healing and diseases characterized by excessive fibrosis.

Abstract
Among the various complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis causes the highest disability and morbidity. A multitude of macrophage-derived foam cells are retained in atherosclerotic plaques resulting not only from recruitment of monocytes into lesions but also from a reduced rate of macrophage migration from lesions. Nε-carboxymethyl-Lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product, is responsible for most complications of diabetes. This study was designed to investigate the mechanism of CML/CD36 accelerating atherosclerotic progression via inhibiting foam cell migration. In vivo study and in vitro study were performed. For the in vivo investigation, CML/CD36 accelerated atherosclerotic progression via promoting the accumulation of macrophage-derived foam cells in aorta and inhibited macrophage-derived foam cells in aorta migrating to the para-aorta lymph node of diabetic apoE-/- mice. For the in vitro investigation, CML/CD36 inhibited RAW264.7-derived foam cell migration through NOX-derived ROS, FAK phosphorylation, Arp2/3 complex activation and F-actin polymerization. Thus, we concluded that CML/CD36 inhibited foam cells of plaque migrating to para-aorta lymph nodes, accelerating atherosclerotic progression. The corresponding mechanism may be via free cholesterol, ROS generation, p-FAK, Arp2/3, F-actin polymerization.

Abstract
Understanding the process of adipogenesis is critical if suitable therapeutics for obesity and related metabolic diseases are to be found. The current study presents proof of feasibility of creating a 3-D spheroid model using human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) and their subsequent adipogenic differentiation. hASC spheroids were formed atop an elastin-like polypeptide-polyethyleneimine (ELP-PEI) surface and differentiated using an adipogenic cocktail. Spheroids were matured in the presence of dietary fatty acids (linoleic or oleic acid) and evaluated based on functional markers including intracellular protein, CD36 expression, triglyceride accumulation, and PPAR-γ gene expression. Spheroid size was found to increase as the hASCs matured in the adipocyte maintenance medium, though the fatty acid treatment generally resulted in smaller spheroids compared to control. A stable protein content over the 10-day maturation period indicated contact-inhibited proliferation as well as minimal loss of spheroids during culture. Spheroids treated with fatty acids showed greater amounts of intracellular triglyceride content and greater expression of the key adipogenic gene, PPAR-γ. We also demonstrated that 3-D spheroids outperformed 2-D monolayer cultures in adipogenesis. We then compared the adipogenesis of hASC spheroids to that in 3T3-L1 spheroids and found that the triglyceride accumulation was less profound in hASC spheroids than that in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, correlated with smaller average spheroids, suggesting a relatively slower differentiation process. Taken together, we have shown the feasibility of adipogenic differentiation of patient-derived hASC spheroids, which with further development, may help elucidate key features in the adipogenesis process.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of proteins imparts diversity to protein functions. The process of glycation represents a complex set of pathways that mediates advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) formation, detoxification, intracellular disposition, extracellular release, and induction of signal transduction. These processes modulate the response to hyperglycemia, obesity, aging, inflammation, and renal failure, in which AGE formation and accumulation is facilitated. It has been shown that endogenous anti-AGE protective mechanisms are thwarted in chronic disease, thereby amplifying accumulation and detrimental cellular actions of these species. Atop these considerations, receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE)-mediated pathways downregulate expression and activity of the key anti-AGE detoxification enzyme, glyoxalase-1 (GLO1), thereby setting in motion an interminable feed-forward loop in which AGE-mediated cellular perturbation is not readily extinguished. In this review, we consider recent work in the field highlighting roles for glycation in obesity and atherosclerosis and discuss emerging strategies to block the adverse consequences of AGEs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The role of post-translational protein modifications on heart and vascular metabolism edited by Jason R.B. Dyck & Jan F.C. Glatz.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major health problem that is usually associated with obesity, together with hyperglycemia and increased advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) formation. Elevated AGEs elicit severe downstream consequences via their binding to receptors of AGEs (RAGE). This includes oxidative stress and oxidative modifications of biological compounds together with heightened inflammation. For example, albumin (major circulating protein) undergoes increased glycoxidation with diabetes and may represent an important biomarker for monitoring diabetic pathophysiology. Despite the central role of adipose tissue in many physiologic/pathologic processes, recognition of the effects of greater AGEs formation in this tissue is quite recent within the obesity/diabetes context. This review provides a brief background of AGEs formation and adipose tissue biology and thereafter discusses the impact of AGEs-adipocyte interactions in pathology progression. Novel data are included showing how AGEs (especially glycated albumin) may be involved in hyperglycemia-induced oxidative damage in adipocytes and its potential links to diabetes progression.

Abstract
In vivo modification of proteins by molecules with reactive carbonyl groups leads to intermediate and advanced glycation end products (AGE). Glucose is a significant glycation reagent due to its high physiological concentration and poorly controlled diabetics show increased albumin glycation. Increased levels of glycated and AGE-modified albumin have been linked to diabetic complications, neurodegeneration, and vascular disease. This review discusses glycated albumin formation, structural consequences of albumin glycation on drug binding, removal of circulating AGE by several scavenger receptors, as well as AGE-induced proinflammatory signaling through activation of the receptor for AGE. Analytical methods for quantitative detection of protein glycation and AGE formation are compared. Finally, the use of glycated albumin as a novel clinical marker to monitor glycemic control is discussed and compared to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as long-term indicator of glycemic status.

Abstract
Increasing cellular damage during the aging process is considered to be one factor limiting the lifespan of organisms. Besides the DNA and lipids, proteins are frequent targets of non-enzymatic modifications by reactive substances including oxidants and glycating agents. Non-enzymatic protein modifications may alter the protein structure often leading to impaired functionality. Although proteolytic systems ensure the removal of modified proteins, the activity of these proteases was shown to decline during the aging process. The additional age-related increase of reactive compounds as a result of impaired antioxidant systems leads to the accumulation of damaged proteins and the formation of protein aggregates. Both, non-enzymatic modified proteins and protein aggregates impair cellular functions and tissue properties by a variety of mechanisms. This is increasingly important in aging and age-related diseases. In this review, we will give an overview on oxidation and glycation of proteins and the function of modified proteins in aggregate formation. Furthermore, their effects as well as their role in aging and age-related diseases will be highlighted.

Abstract
AIM Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and/or their receptors (RAGE) are significantly positively correlated with adiposity, inflammation, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance in adults. However, the relationships between AGEs, RAGE, and adiposity-related comorbidites in children have not been well studied. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of 88 children (age 11-15 years) from the New York area enrolled in the Reduce Obesity and Diabetes (ROAD) study, we examined the correlation of the AGE N(ε)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), soluble RAGE (sRAGE), and endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) with adiposity, inflammatory markers [interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α], adiponectin, lipids, insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretory capacity. RESULTS Pediatric CML levels were ~20% below average adult levels. CML was significantly (p < 0.05) positively correlated with age and insulin sensitivity and negatively with adiposity, dyslipidemia and IL-6. sRAGE correlated positively with esRAGE and negatively with adiposity and IL-6. Both sRAGE and esRAGE correlated negatively with insulin secretory capacity. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that unlike adults, CML is negatively associated with adiposity and adiposity-related comorbidity risk in children. As in adults, sRAGE and esRAGE were, to varying degrees, negatively correlated with body fatness and risk factors for adiposity-related comorbidities.

Accumulation of modified proteins and aggregate formation in aging. Exp Gerontol 2014; 57:122-31.

Abstract
Increasing cellular damage during the aging process is considered to be one factor limiting the lifespan of organisms. Besides the DNA and lipids, proteins are frequent targets of non-enzymatic modifications by reactive substances including oxidants and glycating agents. Non-enzymatic protein modifications may alter the protein structure often leading to impaired functionality. Although proteolytic systems ensure the removal of modified proteins, the activity of these proteases was shown to decline during the aging process. The additional age-related increase of reactive compounds as a result of impaired antioxidant systems leads to the accumulation of damaged proteins and the formation of protein aggregates. Both, non-enzymatic modified proteins and protein aggregates impair cellular functions and tissue properties by a variety of mechanisms. This is increasingly important in aging and age-related diseases. In this review, we will give an overview on oxidation and glycation of proteins and the function of modified proteins in aggregate formation. Furthermore, their effects as well as their role in aging and age-related diseases will be highlighted.

Abstract
Improvements in health care and lifestyle have led to an elevated lifespan and increased focus on age-associated diseases, such as neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, frailty and arteriosclerosis. In all these chronic diseases protein, lipid or nucleic acid modifications are involved, including cross-linked and non-degradable aggregates, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Formation of endogenous or uptake of dietary AGEs can lead to further protein modifications and activation of several inflammatory signaling pathways. This review will give an overview of the most prominent AGE-mediated signaling cascades, AGE receptor interactions, prevention of AGE formation and the impact of AGEs during pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
HIV-1-infected macrophages likely represent viral reservoirs, as they accumulate newly formed virions in internal virus-containing compartments (VCCs). However, the nature and biogenesis of VCCs remain poorly defined. We show that upon HIV-1 infection of primary human macrophages, Gag is recruited to preexisting compartments containing the scavenger receptor CD36, which then become VCCs. Silencing of CD36 in HIV-1-infected macrophages decreases the amount of virions released. Strikingly, soluble anti-CD36 antibodies, but not the natural ligands of CD36, inhibit release of virions from HIV-1-infected macrophages and the transmission of virus to CD4(+) T cells. The effect of the antibodies is potent, rapid, and induces the retention of virions within VCCs. Ectopic expression of CD36 in HeLa cells renders them susceptible to the inhibitory effect of the anti-CD36 mAb upon HIV-1 infection. We show that the anti-CD36 mAb inhibits HIV-1 release by clustering newly formed virions at their site of budding, and that signaling via CD36 is not required. Thus, HIV-1 reservoirs in macrophages may be tackled therapeutically using anti-CD36 antibodies to prevent viral dissemination.

Abstract
Background Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) is a major advanced glycation end-product (AGEs) widely found in foods. The aim of our study was to evaluate how exogenous CML-peptide is dynamically absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and eliminated by renal tubular secretion using microPET imaging. Methods The present study consisted of three investigations. In study I, we synthesized the imaging tracer 18F-CML by reacting N-succinimidyl 4-18F-fluorobenzoate (18F-SFB) with CML. In study II, the biological activity of 18F-CML was evaluated in RAW264.7 cells and HepG2 cells. In study III, the biodistribution and elimination of AGEs in ICR mice were studied in vivo following tail vein injection and intragastric administration of 18F-CML. Result The formation of 18F-CML was confirmed by comparing its retention time with the corresponding reference compound 19F-CML. The radiochemical purity (RCP) of 18F-CML was >95%, and it showed a stable character in vitro and in vivo. Uptake of 18F-CML by RAW264.7 cells and HepG2 cells could be inhibited by unmodified CML. 18F-CML was quickly distributed via the blood, and it was rapidly excreted through the kidneys 20 min after tail vein injection. However, 18F-CML was only slightly absorbed following intragastric administration. After administration of 18F-CML via a stomach tube, the radioactivity was completely localized in the stomach for the first 15 min. At 150 min post intragastric administration, intense accumulation of radioactivity in the intestines was still observed. Conclusions PET technology is a powerful tool for the in vivo analysis of the gastrointestinal absorption of orally administered drugs. 18F-CML is hardly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It is rapidly distributed and eliminated from blood following intravenous administration. Thus, it may not be harmful to healthy bodies. Our study showed the feasibility of noninvasively imaging 18F-labeled AGEs and was the first to describe CML-peptide gastrointestinal absorption by means of PET.

Abstract
The mouse macrophage-derived apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM), which is incorporated into adipocytes and induces lipolysis by suppressing fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity, possesses three potential N-glycosylation sites. Inactivation of N-glycosylation sites revealed that mouse AIM contains two N-glycans in the first and second scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domains, and that depletion of N-glycans decreased AIM secretion from producing cells. Interestingly, the lack of N-glycans increased AIM lipolytic activity through enhancing AIM incorporation into adipocytes. Although human AIM contains no N-glycan, attachment of N-glycans increased AIM secretion. Thus, the N-glycosylation plays important roles in the secretion and lipolytic function of AIM.

Abstract
High levels of circulating advanced glycation end products (AGE) are associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and increased mortality, but factors that influence levels of circulating AGE are not well known. Our objective was to characterize the relationship between serum carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), a major circulating AGE, and body composition in adults. In a cross-sectional study, total body DXA was performed and serum CML was measured in 592 adults, aged 26-93 y, from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Median (25th, 75th percentile) CML concentrations were 2.26 (1.86, 2.67) μmol/L. Total fat mass [β = -0.17 (95% CI -0.10, -0.24); P < 0.0001], truncal fat mass [β = -0.17 (95% CI -0.10, -0.25); P < 0.0001], and appendicular fat mass [β = -0.13 (95% CI -0.05, -0.20); P = 0.001] per 1 SD increase were inversely associated with serum CML in separate multivariate linear regression models, adjusting for age, sex, BMI, systolic blood pressure, TG, HDL cholesterol, and renal function. Lean body mass was not independently associated with serum CML. These findings suggest that serum CML concentration is strongly affected by body fat, possibly because CML is preferentially deposited in fat tissue or because adipocytes affect the metabolism of AGE.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and protein modifications are frequently observed in numerous disease states. Glucose constitutes a vital nutrient necessary to cellular oxygen metabolism. However, hyperglycemia-associated damage is an important factor in diabetes disorders. Albumin, the major circulating protein in blood, can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. From recent studies, it has become evident that protein glycation has important implications for protein activity, unfolding, and degradation, as well as for cell functioning. After giving a brief overview of the key role of albumin in overall antioxidant defense, this review examines its role as a target of glycation reactions. A synthesis of state of the art methods for measuring and characterizing albumin glycation is detailed. In light of recent data, we then report the impact of glycation on the structure of albumin and its various activities, especially its antioxidant and binding capacities. The biological impact of glycated albumin on cell physiology is also discussed, specifically the role of the protein as a biological marker of diabetes.

Abstract
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is secreted from adipose tissue and is considered to be a risk factor for both atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. Here we report for the first time that PAI-1 expression is enhanced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and its lipid component lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In fully differentiated 3T3-L1 cells, OxLDL treatment increased the mRNA expression and protein secretion of PAI-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, whereas native LDL had no effect. The addition of an anti-CD36 antibody suppressed OxLDL-stimulated PAI-1 expression by 50%, suggesting that adipose-derived CD36 contributes to roughly half of the PAI-1 expression stimulated by OxLDL. In addition, pharmacological experiments showed that the OxLDL-stimulated enhancement in PAI-1 expression was mediated through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2. Furthermore, LPC, a major lipid component of OxLDL, was responsible for the enhanced expression of PAI-1 as phospholipase A(2)-treated acetyl LDL, which generates LPC, strongly stimulated PAI-1 expression, whereas acetyl LDL itself had no such activity. These data demonstrate that the uptake of OxLDL and, in particular, its lipid component LPC into adipocytes triggers aberrant ROS-mediated PAI-1 expression, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) has been shown to be involved in cardiovascular diseases. We examined the involvement of RAGE in atherosclerosis under non-diabetic status, and its relation to the effect on adiposity. METHODS Apolipoprotein E (apoE)(-/-)RAGE(+/+) or apoE(-/-)RAGE(-/-) mice were fed with an atherogenic diet or the standard chow diet. Adiposity was determined by weight of epididymal adipose tissue, adipocyte size and serum adiponectin. Aortic atherosclerosis was morphometrically determined. RESULTS ApoE(-/-)RAGE(-/-) mice exhibited significantly less total aortic plaque area than apoE(-/-)RAGE(+/+) mice. Body weight, epididymal fat weight, and epididymal adipocyte size were also significantly less in apoE(-/-)RAGE(-/-) mice than apoE(-/-)RAGE(+/+) mice. Serum adiponectin, but not tumor necrosis factor-alpha, was significantly higher in apoE(-/-)RAGE(-/-) mice than apoE(-/-)RAGE(+/+) mice. Simple regression analysis revealed that the total aortic plaque area was positively associated with epididymal fat weight, epididymal adipocyte size, and negatively with serum adiponectin levels. Multiple regression analyses revealed that RAGE genotype and serum adiponectin were mutually interrelated in determining aortic atherosclerosis. Finally, immunohistochemical and real-time RT-PCR analyses revealed that RAGE was indeed expressed in both adipocytes and endothelial cells in epididymal adipose tissue. CONCLUSION RAGE-mediated regulation of adiposity in non-diabetic status could be attributable to the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Oxidative modifications in proteins can participate in the regulation of cellular functions and are frequently observed in numerous states of diseases. Albumin can undergo increased glycation during diabetes. An accumulation of oxidatively modified proteins in human mature adipocytes incubated with glycated albumin has previously been described. This study herein reports the identification of specifically carbonylated targets following separation of the cell proteins by 2D gels, Western blotting and mass spectrometry analyses. It identified eight oxidatively modified proteins, two of which (ACTB and Annexin A2) appeared as significantly more carbonylated in adipocytes treated with glycated albumin than with native albumin. Intracellular stress, evaluated in SW872 cell line, showed an impairment in the protective antioxidant action exerted by native BSA after the glycation of the protein. Decreased proteasome peptidase activities were found in glycated BSA-treated mature adipocytes. The data suggest an association of oxidative damage with the progression of diabetes disorders at the adipocytes level.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes-associated complications. Previously, we reported the possible effect of pyridoxamine (K-163), an AGE inhibitor, on improvement of glucose intolerance in type 2 diabetes mellitus KK-A(y)/Ta mice. Recently, AGEs and oxidative stress have been shown to induce insulin resistance. The objective of the present study is to examine the effect of pyridoxamine on glucose intolerance and oxidative stress. C57BL/6J mice were divided into 3 groups as follows: low-fat diet, high-fat diet, and high-fat diet with pyridoxamine treatment. Body and adipose tissue weight, serum insulin, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde and AGE, and urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels were measured. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate subunits, antioxidant enzymes, and adipocytokine messenger RNA expressions in the adipose tissues were evaluated. Akt/protein kinase B activity and glucose transporter 4 translocation in skeletal muscle were also evaluated. Body and adipose tissue weights of the pyridoxamine treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those of the high-fat diet group. Pyridoxamine attenuated serum hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde and AGE, and urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase expression; increased antioxidant enzyme expression; and improved dysregulation of adipocytokines in adipose tissues. Pyridoxamine improved blood glucose levels after glucose injection and fasting hyperinsulinemia. Suppressed Akt/protein kinase B activity and glucose transporter 4 translocation in skeletal muscle in high-fat diet mice were improved by pyridoxamine treatment. It appears that the antioxidative effect of pyridoxamine is associated with improvement of glucose intolerance and obesity in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet. We assume that pyridoxamine may be useful in the treatment of the obesity-associated metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of legal blindness among older individuals of industrialized countries. In neovascular AMD, which is an advanced stage of AMD, choroidal neovascularization develops underneath the macula and destroys central vision. Oxidative stress is a hypothesized pathway for the pathophysiology of AMD. CD36 was chosen as a candidate gene for neovascular AMD because the protein plays an important role in this pathway as well as in angiogenesis and in maintaining chorioretinal homeostasis. We tested 19 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across CD36 for their association with the disease in a Japanese population comprising 109 neovascular AMD subjects and 182 unrelated controls. Five of the 19 SNPs demonstrated a nominally significant association with neovascular AMD (P < 0.05), of which two (rs3173798 and rs3211883) withstood Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (rs3173798, nominal P = 9.96 x 10-4, allele-specific odds ratio = 0.55; rs3211883, nominal P = 2.09 x 10-4, allele-specific odds ratio = 0.50). Population structure analyses excluded stratification artifacts in our study cohort. This study supports the candidacy of CD36 as a novel susceptibility gene for neovascular AMD. Replication of our results in other populations will provide further convincing evidence for the genetic association.

Abstract
AIM Pyridoxamine inhibits the development of diabetic complications. CD36 is a receptor/transporter which binds fatty acids of lipoproteins. The objective of the present study was to examine the pleiotropic effects of pyridoxamine, especially CD36 expression in KK-A(y)/Ta mice with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. METHODS KK-A(y)/Ta mice were divided into 2 groups as follows: pyridoxamine treatment group and a tap water group as controls. The urinary ACR, fasting serum insulin, TG and lipoprotein subclasses were measured as biochemical parameters. The renal expressions of malondialdehyde (MDA) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. CD36 mRNA expressions in kidney and adipose tissue were also evaluated using real-time PCR. RESULTS Pyridoxamine decreased levels of urinary ACR, serum TG, especially VLDL and fasting serum insulin. MDA accumulation in the pyridoxamine treated group was significantly lower than those in the non-treatment group. The CD36 accumulation and mRNA expressions in kidney and adipose tissue in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the non-treatment group. CONCLUSIONS It appears that pyridoxamine ameliorated lipid peroxidation and insulin resistance in KK-A(y)/Ta mice. This pleiotropic effect of pyridoxamine was related to CD36 expression in the kidney and adipose tissue.

Abstract
High levels of oxidative stress were reported in obesity-linked type 2 diabetes and were associated with elevated formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Many studies have focused on the effect of antioxidants on vascular and circulating cells such as macrophages. However, despite the major role of adipocytes in the etiology of diabetes, little is known about the effect of natural antioxidants on adipocyte response to oxidative stress. The present study reports the differential protective effects of plant nutrients toward adipose cells subjected to oxidative stress. Caffeic acid, quercetin, L: -ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol were tested on SW872 liposarcoma cells subjected to a free radical generator or to AGEs. Proliferation, viability, free radical formation, and superoxide dismutase expression were assessed in treated cells. Caffeic acid and quercetin appeared as the most potent antioxidant nutrients. Our findings clearly show a novel antioxidant role for caffeic acid and quercetin at the adipose tissue level. These new data confirm the beneficial role of phytotherapy as an interesting alternative mean for the development of novel therapeutical and nutritional strategy to prevent metabolic disorders inherent to obesity-linked diabetes.

Abstract
Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) increase in patients affected by type-2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Likewise, insulin resistance, an impaired responsiveness of target tissues to insulin, is associated with those pathological conditions. To investigate a possible causal relationship between oxLDL and the onset of insulin resistance, we evaluated the response to insulin of 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with oxLDL. We observed that oxLDL inhibited glucose uptake (-40%) through reduced glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) recruitment to the plasma membrane (-70%), without affecting GLUT4 gene expression. These findings were associated to the impairment of insulin signaling. Specifically, in oxLDL-treated cells insulin receptor (IR) substrate-1 (IRS-1) was highly degraded likely because of the enhanced Ser(307)phosphorylation. This process was largely mediated by the activation of the inhibitor of kappaB-kinase beta (IKKbeta) and the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK). Moreover, the activation of IKKbeta positively regulated the nuclear content of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), by inactivating the inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaBalpha). The activated NF-kappaB further impaired per se GLUT4 functionality. Specific inhibitors of IKKbeta, JNK, and NF-kappaB restored insulin sensitivity in adipocytes treated with oxLDL. These data provide the first evidence that oxLDL, by activating serine/threonine kinases, impaired adipocyte response to insulin affecting pathways involved in the recruitment of GLUT4 to plasma membranes (PM). This suggests that oxLDL might participate in the development of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Chronic accumulation of plasma advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) promotes renal fibrosis. However, the mechanism at the cellular level has not been clarified. In the present study, endocytic assay of human proximal tubular cells (HK-2 cells) demonstrated that AOPPs-human serum albumin (HSA) (in vitro preparations of chloramine- modified HSA) were significantly endocytosed in a dose-dependent manner at a higher level than HSA. The expression of CD36, a transmembrane protein of the class B scavenger receptor, in HK-2 cells was confirmed in the immunoblot analysis. In a cellular assay using overexpressing human CD36 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, AOPPs-HSA were significantly endocytosed by CD36-CHO cells but not by mock-CHO cells. Furthermore, the endocytic association and degradation of AOPPs-HSA by HK-2 cells was significantly inhibited by anti-CD36 antibody treatment, suggesting that CD36 is partly involved in the uptake of AOPPs-HSA by HK-2 cells. AOPPs-HSA upregulated the expression of CD36 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, AOPPs-HSA upregulated the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and the secretion of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in HK-2 cells, whereas anti-CD36 antibody neutralizes the upregulation of TGF-β1. These results suggest that AOPPs-HSA may cause renal tubular injury via the CD36 pathway.

Abstract
Introduction to bioorganic chemistry by Prof. Kanaoka at the entrance of my research works affects greatly throughout the life afterward. Chemical modification studies of enzyme proteins taught me quality of chemical reactions. For example, triethyloxonium fluoroborate (Et3O+ BF4(-)), a Meerwein reagent, selectively reacted with a particular carboxyl group (Asp-177) in the substrate binding site of trypsin, even though the reaction was performed in aqueous solution. A series of ion channel studies intoxicate me how exciting the science works are. Purification of sodium channel protein from electric eels initiated the collaboration work to reveal total primary structure of the molecule, as an inaugurating work of ion channel molecules. Photoaffinity labeling proved to be an efficient method to elucidate ligand binding sites, such as TTX binding site within the sodium channel and the sites for calcium anatagonists in L-type calcium channels. Encounter with CD36 molecule expands our works to more pathobiochemical field. We revealed CD36, a class B scavenger receptor, is related to development of atherosclerosis by phagocytosis of ox-LDL in macrophages and even matured adipocytes. In microglia, however, CD36 plays clearance role of oligomeric beta-amyloid peptides in IL-4 activated type-2 microglia, suggesting the activation of type-2 microglia may be useful for developing a new method to treat or prevent from Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Platelet hyperactivity associated with hyperlipidemia may contribute to development of a prothrombotic state. We previously showed that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) formed in the setting of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis activated platelets in a CD36-dependent manner. We now show that mitogen-activated protein kinase c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)2 and its upstream activator MKK4 were phosphorylated in platelets exposed to oxLDL. Using apoE(-/-) mice as a model of hyperlipidemia, we showed that JNK was constitutively phosphorylated in platelets in a CD36-dependent manner. Inhibition of src kinase activity reduced JNK phosphorylation by oxLDL. Immunoprecipitations revealed that active phosphorylated forms of src kinases Fyn and Lyn were recruited to CD36 in platelets exposed to oxLDL. Pharmacological inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase JNK or src family kinases abolished platelet activation by oxLDL in vitro. Using a murine carotid artery thrombosis model we demonstrated CD36-dependent phosphorylation of platelet JNK within thrombi. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of JNK prolonged thrombosis times in wild-type but not cd36-null mice in vivo. These findings suggest that a specific CD36-dependent signaling pathway is required for platelet activation by oxLDL and may provide insights related to development of novel antiplatelet therapies more relevant to atherothrombosis than to normal hemostasis.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed in vivo by a non-enzymatic reaction of proteins with carbohydrates and accumulate in many tissues during ageing. They are discussed as being responsible for many age- and diabetes-related diseases. On the other hand, AGEs are formed by the heating of food and are taken up by the nutrition. The contribution of endogenously formed versus exogenous intake of AGEs to age-related diseases is still under discussion.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), among the most important causes of atherosclerosis in diabetes mellitus, stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Smooth muscle cells are central in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions, where they show both increased migration and accelerated proliferation. In investigating how AGEs stimulate SMC proliferation, we focused on protein tyrosine phosphatase, especially Src homology 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP2), which is considered important in regulating cell proliferation. Advanced glycation end products increased activity of SHP2 in the membrane fraction of rat aortic SMCs compared with control bovine serum albumin (P < .05). Upon characterizing the genomic and promoter structure of SHP2, we detected nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) binding sites in the promoter area. Advanced glycation end product stimulation increased luciferase activity in cells transfected with SHP2 promoter region including NF-kappaB binding sites (P < .05) and increased SHP2 expression (P < .05). These data indicate that AGE stimulation appears to activate NF-kappaB. Activated NF-kappaB binds to sites on the SHP2 promoter, resulting in increased SHP2 expression, SHP2 activity, and, ultimately, SMC proliferation. It suggests that AGE stimulation induces SMC proliferation via SHP2, underscoring the importance of control of AGE for suppressing macroangiopathy in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
TWEAK (TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis) is a TNF superfamily member implicated in several mechanisms. Although fibroblast growth factor inducible 14 (Fn14)/TweakR has been reported as its receptor, an as yet unrecognized surface molecule(s) might modulate TWEAK function(s). Thus, we set out to identify TWEAK-binding proteins by screening a combinatorial peptide library. Cyclic peptides containing a consensus motif (WXDDG) bound to TWEAK specifically. These peptides were similar to CD163, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain family member, restricted to the monocyte/macrophage lineage and responsible for the uptake of circulating haptoglobin-hemoglobin (Hp-Hb) complexes. Sequence profile analysis suggested that TWEAK mimicked the CD163 natural ligand (Hp-Hb). Consistently, we show dose-dependent TWEAK binding to CD163 and blockade by an anti-CD163 Ab. In a competition assay, both soluble CD163 and Fn14/TweakR were able to compete off TWEAK binding to coated Fn14/TweakR or CD163, respectively. Flow-cytometry and immunofluorescence assays showed that human monocytes (Fn14/TweakR negative and CD163 positive) bind TWEAK, thus blocking the recognition of CD163 and reducing the activation mediated by a specific mAb in these cells. We demonstrate that monocytes can sequester TWEAK from supernatants, thus preventing tumor cell apoptosis; this effect was reverted by preincubation with the peptide mimicking CD163 or with a mAb anti-CD163, indicating specificity. Finally, we show that recombinant human TWEAK binding to CD163-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells is inhibited by the presence of either unlabeled TWEAK or the Hp-Hb complex. Together, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that CD163 either acts as a TWEAK scavenger in pathological conditions or serves as an alternate receptor for TWEAK in cells lacking Fn14/TweakR.

Abstract
Neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress (OS), whereas those in CA3 are resistant. To uncover mechanisms for selective CA1 vulnerability to OS, we treated organotypic hippocampal slices with duroquinone and compared transcriptional profiles of CA1 vs CA3 cells at various intervals. Gene Ontology and Biological Pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes showed that at all time points, CA1 had higher transcriptional activity for stress/inflammatory response, transition metal transport, ferroxidase, and presynaptic signaling activity, while CA3 had higher GABA-signaling, postsynaptic, and calcium and potassium channel activity. Real-time PCR and immunoblots confirmed the transcriptome data and the induction of OS by duroquinone in both hippocampal regions. Our functional genomics approach has identified in CA1 cells molecular pathways as well as unique genes, such as guanosine deaminase, lipocalin 2, synaptotagmin 4, and latrophilin 2, whose time-dependent induction following the initiation of OS may represent attempts at neurite outgrowth, synaptic recovery, and resistance against OS.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) from the Maillard reaction contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes-associated complications such as diabetic nephropathy. In therapeutic interventions for reducing AGEs, many compounds have been reported as AGE inhibitors. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of pyridoxamine (K-163), an AGE inhibitor, in type 2 diabetic KK-A(y)/Ta mice. KK-A(y)/Ta mice were given pyridoxamine (200 or 400 mg/kg per day) starting at 8 weeks of age for 12 weeks. They were divided into 3 groups as follows: pyridoxamine 200 mg/kg per day treatment group (n = 10), pyridoxamine 400 mg/kg per day treatment group (n = 10), and a tap water group as the control group (n = 20). The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), body weight (BW), levels of fasting and casual blood glucose, blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), fasting serum insulin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (T-Cho), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG), and systemic blood pressure were measured as biochemical parameters. N(epsilon)-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and nitrotyrosine accumulations in glomeruli were evaluated by immunohistochemical analyses. Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and laminin-beta1 messenger RNA expressions in the kidneys were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Pyridoxamine, especially at 400 mg/kg per day, improved the levels of urinary ACR, fasting serum TG, and 3DG. CML and nitrotyrosine accumulations in glomeruli were decreased. Furthermore, large doses of pyridoxamine prevented not only urinary ACR but also increases of BW, casual blood glucose, and HbA(1c). TGF-beta1 and laminin-beta1 messenger RNA expressions in kidneys were significantly lower than those in the controls. There were no significant changes in the levels of fasting blood glucose, serum T-Cho, and systemic blood pressure among all groups. It appears that pyridoxamine improved urinary ACR by its anti-AGE and anti-oxidant effects in the kidneys of KK-A(y)/Ta mice.

Abstract
Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB), has the ability to persist in its human host for exceptionally long periods of time. However, little is known about the location of the bacilli in latently infected individuals. Long-term mycobacterial persistence in the lungs has been reported, but this may not sufficiently account for strictly extra-pulmonary TB, which represents 10–15% of the reactivation cases. Methodology/Principal Findings We applied in situ and conventional PCR to sections of adipose tissue samples of various anatomical origins from 19 individuals from Mexico and 20 from France who had died from causes other than TB. M. tuberculosis DNA could be detected by either or both techniques in fat tissue surrounding the kidneys, the stomach, the lymph nodes, the heart and the skin in 9/57 Mexican samples (6/19 individuals), and in 8/26 French samples (6/20 individuals). In addition, mycobacteria could be immuno-detected in perinodal adipose tissue of 1 out of 3 biopsy samples from individuals with active TB. In vitro, using a combination of adipose cell models, including the widely used murine adipose cell line 3T3-L1, as well as primary human adipocytes, we show that after binding to scavenger receptors, M. tuberculosis can enter within adipocytes, where it accumulates intracytoplasmic lipid inclusions and survives in a non-replicating state that is insensitive to the major anti-mycobacterial drug isoniazid. Conclusions/Significance Given the abundance and the wide distribution of the adipose tissue throughout the body, our results suggest that this tissue, among others, might constitute a vast reservoir where the tubercle bacillus could persist for long periods of time, and avoid both killing by antimicrobials and recognition by the host immune system. In addition, M. tuberculosis-infected adipocytes might provide a new model to investigate dormancy and to evaluate new drugs for the treatment of persistent infection.
