Abstract
Fructosamine has long been considered as a key intermediate of the Maillard reaction, which to a large extent is responsible for specific aroma, taste, and color formation in thermally processed or dehydrated foods. Since the 1980s, however, as a product of the Amadori rearrangement reaction between glucose and biologically significant amines such as proteins, fructosamine has experienced a boom in biomedical research, mainly due to its relevance to pathologies in diabetes and aging. In this chapter, we assess the scope of the knowledge on and applications of fructosamine-related molecules in chemistry, food, and health sciences, as reflected mostly in publications within the past decade. Methods of fructosamine synthesis and analysis, its chemical, and biological properties, and degradation reactions, together with fructosamine-modifying and -recognizing proteins are surveyed.

Cepas V, Collino M, Mayo JC, Sainz RM. Redox Signaling and Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) in Diet-Related Diseases. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9020142.

Abstract
Diets are currently characterized by elevated sugar intake, mainly due to the increased consumption of processed sweetened foods and drinks during the last 40 years. Diet is the main source of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These are toxic compounds formed during the Maillard reaction, which takes place both in vivo, in tissues and fluids under physiological conditions, favored by sugar intake, and ex vivo during food preparation such as baking, cooking, frying or storage. Protein glycation occurs slowly and continuously through life, driving AGE accumulation in tissues during aging. For this reason, AGEs have been proposed as a risk factor in the pathogenesis of diet-related diseases such as diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, kidney injury, and age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. AGEs are associated with an increase in oxidative stress since they mediate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing the intracellular levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide (O2−), and nitric oxide (NO). The interaction of AGEs with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) enhances oxidative stress through ROS production by NADPH oxidases inside the mitochondria. This affects mitochondrial function and ultimately influences cell metabolism under various pathological conditions. This short review will summarize all evidence that relates AGEs and ROS production, their relationship with diet-related diseases, as well as the latest research about the use of natural compounds with antioxidant properties to prevent the harmful effects of AGEs on health.

Glycated human serum albumin induces NF-κB activation and endothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. J Diabetes Complications 2015; 29:984-92. [PMID: 26297216 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2015.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2015] [Revised: 07/10/2015] [Accepted: 07/11/2015] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Non-enzymatic glycated proteins could mediate diabetes vascular complications, but the molecular mechanisms are unknown. Our objective was to find new targets involved in the glycated human serum albumin (gHSA)-enhanced extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human endothelial cells. METHODS & RESULTS Some nuclear factors and phosphorylation cascades were analysed. gHSA activated nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), which up-regulated NOX4 and P22PHOX and enhanced ROS production. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB reversed gHSA-enhanced NOX4 expression and decreased gHSA-induced ROS production in extra- and intracellular spaces. The inhibition of activator protein-1 (AP-1) induced a rise in NOX4 and P22PHOX subunit expression and a down-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). AP-1 inhibition also enhanced extracellular ROS production in the presence of serum albumin, but not with gHSA. These results were explained by the eNOS uncoupling induced by gHSA, also demonstrated in this study. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 did not show to be involved in gHSA-induced ROS production. CONCLUSIONS All together, the results suggested that gHSA-enhanced ROS production in endothelium is mediated by: 1) NF-κB activation and subsequence up-regulation of NADPH oxidase, 2) eNOS uncoupling. AP-1, although is not directly affected by gHSA, is another target for regulating NADPH oxidase and eNOS expression in endothelial cells.

Cell Stress Chaperones 2014; 19:105-14. [PMID: 23719694 PMCID: PMC3857426 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-013-0438-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2013] [Revised: 05/13/2013] [Accepted: 05/14/2013] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
In diabetic kidney disease (DKD), epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a classic pathological process in tubular damage. Oxidative stress is considered to play an important role in DKD. Astragaloside IV (A-IV), one of the main active ingredients of Astragalus membranaceus, exhibits a wide range of biological activities. However, the effect of A-IV on regulating EMT in tubular cells is unclear. This study aims to determine whether A-IV could attenuate glycated albumin (GA)-induced EMT in the NRK-52E cell line by inhibiting oxidative stress. GA and A-IV-induced cytotoxicity were assayed by CCK-8. The intercellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by H2DCFDA. The activity of NADPH oxidase was assayed by adding exogenous NADPH oxidase, and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) units were observed by NBT. We used a microscope to examine the morphology of the NRK-52E cell line. We conducted a wound healing assay to measure cell mobility. To determine mRNA and protein expressions of α-SMA and E-cadherin, we used real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), immunofluorescence, and western blot analysis. A-IV significantly attenuated GA-induced amplification of ROS, lowered the increased level of NADPH oxidase activity, and elevated the decreased level of SOD units. The GA-induced NRK-52E cell line showed increased expression of α-SMA and decreased expression of E-cadherin in mRNA and protein levels, whereas A-IV alleviated the expression of α-SMA and increased the expression of E-cadherin. Our data demonstrate that GA could induce NRK-52E cell line EMT through oxidative stress. This effect could be attenuated by A-IV via regulation of the impaired redox balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum albumin is a micro-heterogeneous protein composed of at least 40 isoforms. Its heterogeneity is even more pronounced in biological fluids other than serum, the major being urine and cerebrospinal fluid. Modification 'in situ' and/or selectivity of biological barriers, such as in the kidney, determines the final composition of albumin and may help in definition of inflammatory states. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review focuses on various aspects of albumin heterogeneity in low 'abundance fluids' and highlights the potential source of information in diseases. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The electrical charge of the protein in urine and CSF is modified but with an opposite change and depending on clinical conditions. In normal urine, the bulk of albumin is more anionic than in serum for the presence of ten times more fatty acids that introduce equivalent anionic charges and modify hydrophobicity of the protein. At the same time, urinary albumin is more glycosylated compared to the serum homolog. Finally, albumin fragments can be detected in urine in patients with proteinuria. For albumin in CSF, we lack information relative to normal conditions since ethical problems do not allow normal CSF to be studied. In multiple sclerosis, the albumin charge in CSF is more cationic than in serum, this change possibly involving structural anomalies or small molecules bindings. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Massively fatty albumin could be toxic for tubular cells and be eliminated on this basis. Renal handling of glycosylated albumin can alter the normal equilibrium of filtration/reabsorption and trigger mechanisms leading to glomerulosclerosis and tubulo-interstitial fibrosis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to test the hypothesis that enhanced oxidative stress is induced in monocytes with over-activated NADPH oxidase during the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Levels of glucose and lipids were analyzed in 73 diabetic patients and 36 controls. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein carbonylation were tested. Expression of NADPH oxidase was examined and p47phox translocation was assessed. RESULTS With the abnormality of glucose and lipid metabolism, diabetic patients showed a higher oxidative stress state indicated by decreased SOD activity but elevated MDA and protein carbonylation level. Monocytes in diabetes also showed elevated ROS generation and protein carbonylation level. Furthermore, NADPH oxidase was highly activated in monocytes represented by p22phox up-regulation and p47phox translocation. Significant positive bivariate correlation was found between glucose and MDA level as well as p22phox expression. In vitro experiments also indicated that glucose could stimulate ROS generation in a NADPH oxidase dependent manner. Moreover, we carried out same measurement in 40 diabetic patients with anti-diabetic intervention and obtained the reinforced results. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia is the main factor which induces oxidative stress mainly by activation of NADPH oxidase in monocytes of diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycaemia induces non-enzymatic glycation reactions in proteins which generate Amadori products and advanced glycation end-products; the latter are thought to participate in the vascular complications of diabetic patients. However, the exact mechanisms concerning the effects of glycated proteins on vascular tissue remain to be determined. Therefore, the effects of glycated human serum albumin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells were studied. METHODS Reactive oxygen species production was measured by the cytochrome C reduction method and by 5(6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (c-DCF-DA) fluorescence after treating human umbilical vein endothelial cells with glycated human serum albumin (6-200 µg/mL). The expression of Nox4 and p22phox mRNAs were analysed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reactions and the levels of their proteins were measured by immunofluorescence. RESULTS Low concentrations of glycated human serum albumin enhanced reactive oxygen species production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells after 4 h of treatment at both extracellular and intracellular sites. This enhanced production was sustained, although to a lesser extent, after 6 and 12 h of treatment. The gene expression study revealed that Nox4 and p22phox mRNA levels were elevated after 4 h of treatment with glycated human serum albumin. This mRNA elevation and enhanced reactive oxygen species production correlated with an increased expression of the Nox4 protein. CONCLUSIONS The results revealed that a circulating and abundant modified glycated human serum albumin protein in diabetic patients induced a sustained reactive oxygen species production in human endothelial cells. This effect may have been due to an up-regulation of Nox4, the main subunit of NADPH oxidase in the endothelium.

Abstract
Glycated albumin, an early-glycation Amadori-modified protein, stimulates transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) expression and increases the production of the extracellular matrix proteins in mesangial cells, contributing to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Glycated albumin has been shown to increase NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide formation in mesangial cells. However, the mechanisms are not well understood. Therefore, in the present studies, we determined the mechanisms by which glycated albumin activates NADPH oxidase in primary rat mesangial cells and its contribution to glycated albumin-induced TGF-beta expression and extracellular matrix protein production. Our data showed that glycated albumin treatment stimulated NADPH oxidase activity and increased the formation of superoxide formation in rat mesangial cells. Moreover, glycated albumin treatment stimulated the expression and phosphorylation of p47phox, one of the cytosolic regulatory subunits of the NADPH oxidase. However, the levels of other NADPH oxidase subunits including Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, p22phox, and p67phox were not altered by glycated albumin. Moreover, siRNA-mediated knockdown of p47phox inhibited glycated albumin-induced NADPH oxidase activity and superoxide formation. Glycated albumin-induced TGF-beta expression and extracellular matrix production (fibronectin) was also inhibited by p47phox knock down. Taken together, these data suggest that up-regulation of p47phox is involved in glycated albumin-mediated activation of NADPH oxidase, leading to glycated albumin-induced expression of TGF-beta and extracellular matrix proteins in mesangial cells and contributing to the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Although mitochondrial reduction-oxidation (redox) stress and increase in membrane permeability play an important role in diabetic-associated renal microvasculopathies, it is unclear whether the intra-renal mitochondrial oxidative stress induces mitochondrial protein modifications, leading to increase mitochondrial membrane permeability. The hypothesis is that mitochondrial oxidative stress induces mitochondrial protein modification and leakage in the mitochondrial membrane in type-2 diabetes. The present study was conducted to determine the involvement of intra-renal mitochondrial oxidative stress in mitochondrial protein modifications and modulation of membrane permeability in the setting of type-2 diabetes. Diabetes was induced by 6-week regimen of a high calorie and fat diet in C57BL/6J mice (Am J Physiol 291:F694-F701, 2006). Subcellular fractionation was carried out in kidney tissue from wild type and diabetic mice. All fractions were highly enriched in their corresponding marker enzyme. Subcellular protein modifications were determined by Western blot and 2-D proteomics. The results suggest that diabetes-induced oxidative stress parallels an increase in NADPH oxidase-4 (NOX-4) and decrease in superoxide dismutase-1, 2 (SOD-1, 2) expression, in mitochondrial compartment. We observed loss of mitochondrial membrane permeability as evidenced by leakage of mitochondrial cytochrome c and prohibitin to the cytosol. However, there was no loss in control tissue. The 2-D Western blots for mitochondrial post-translational modification showed an increase in nitrotyrosine generation in diabetes. We conclude that diabetes-induced intra-renal mitochondrial oxidative stress is reflected by an increase in mitochondrial membrane permeability and protein modifications by nitrotyrosine generation.

Abstract
Glycated human serum albumin (Glc-HSA) has previously been reported (Higai K., et al., 2006) to induce E-selectin expression on human umbilical vein endothelial cells through activation of NADPH oxidase; however, Glc-HSA signaling in monocytes remains obscure. To clarify the influence on human monocyte-derived U937 cells, U937 cells were stimulated with Glc-HSA and glycoaldehyde-dimer-modified HSA (GA-HSA) for 2 h in the absence and presence of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor calphostin and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin; interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR. As a result, IL-8 mRNA expression in U-937 cells was time- and dose-dependently enhanced by stimulation with Glc-HSA and GA-HSA. Furthermore, promoter activity of the IL-8 reporter gene was enhanced approximately 2-fold by stimulation with Glc-HSA and GA-HSA. Nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) reporter genes were also enhanced although CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) was not affected. IL-8 mRNA expression was suppressed by NAC and apocynin but not calphostin in cells stimulated with Glc-HSA; however, its expression in cells stimulated with GA-HSA was suppressed by calphostin but not NAC. These results indicated that IL-8 mRNA expression was upregulated by NFkappaB and AP-1 in U937 cells stimulated with Glc-HSA and GA-HSA, but the signaling pathways were different.

Abstract
The catabolism of heme, generating biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron, is mediated by heme oxygenase (HO). One form of this of this enzyme, heme oxygenase-1, is inducible by numerous agents which promote oxidative stress, and is now known to provide important antioxidant protection, as demonstrated in many rodent models of free radical-mediated pathogenesis, and suggested by epidemiology observing favorable health outcomes in individuals carrying high-expression alleles of the HO-1 gene. The antioxidant impact of HO-1 appears to be mediated by bilirubin, generated rapidly from biliverdin by ubiquitously expressed biliverdin reductase. Bilirubin efficiently scavenges a wide range of physiological oxidants by electron donation. In the process, it is often reconverted to biliverdin, but biliverdin reductase quickly regenerates bilirubin, thereby greatly boosting its antioxidant potential. There is also suggestive evidence that bilirubin inhibits the activity or activation of NADPH oxidase. Increased serum bilirubin is associated with reduced risk for atherogenic disease in epidemiological studies, and more limited data show an inverse correlation between serum bilirubin and cancer risk. Gilbert syndrome, a genetic variant characterized by moderate hyperbilirubinemia attributable to reduced hepatic expression of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase which conjugates bilirubin, has been associated with a greatly reduced risk for ischemic heart disease and hypertension in a recent study. Feasible strategies for boosting serum bilirubin levels may include administration of HO-1 inducers, supplementation with bilirubin or biliverdin, and administration of drugs which decrease the efficiency of hepatic bilirubin conjugation. The well-tolerated uricosuric drug probenecid achieves non-competitive inhibition of hepatic glucuronidation reactions by inhibiting the transport of UDP-glucuronic acid into endoplasmic reticulum; probenecid therapy is included in the differential diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia, and presumably could be used to induce an ''iatrogenic Gilbert syndrome''. Other drugs, such as rifampin, can raise serum bilirubin through competitive inhibition of hepatocyte bilirubin uptake--although unfortunately rifampin is not as safe as probenecid. Measures which can safely achieve moderate serum elevations of bilirubin may prove to have value in the prevention and/or treatment of a wide range of disorders in which oxidants play a prominent pathogenic role, including many vascular diseases, cancer, and inflammatory syndromes. Phycobilins, algal biliverdin metabolites that are good substrates for biliverdin reductase, may prove to have clinical antioxidant potential comparable to that of bilirubin.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus leads to a high incidence of several so-called complications, sharing similar pathophysiological features in several territories. Previous reports points at early nonenzymatic glycosylation products (Amadori adducts) as mediators of diabetic vascular complications. In the present study, we analysed a possible role for Amadori adducts as stimulators of proinflammatory pathways in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Cultured HPMCs isolated from 13 different patients (mean age 38.7+/-16 years) were exposed to different Amadori adducts, that is, highly glycated haemoglobin (10 nM) and glycated bovine serum albumin (0.25 mg ml(-1)), as well as to their respective low glycosylation controls. Amadori adducts, but not their respective controls, elicited a marked increase of NF-kappaB activation, as determined by electromobility shift assays and transient transfection experiments. Additionally, Amadori adducts significantly increased the production of NF-kappaB-related proinflammatory molecules, including cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta or IL-6, and enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase, this latter leading to the release of NO by HPMCs. The effects of Amadori adducts were mediated by different reactive oxygen and nitrosative species (e.g. superoxide anions, hydroxyl radicals, and peroxynitrite), as they were blunted by coincubation with the appropriate scavengers. Furthermore, NO generated upon exposure to Amadori adducts further stimulated NF-kappaB activation, either directly or after combination with superoxide anions to form peroxynitrite. We conclude that Amadori adducts can favour peritoneal inflammation by exacerbating changes in NO synthesis pathway and triggering NF-kappaB-related proinflammatory signals in human mesothelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We used apocynin to test the hypothesis that superoxide anion (O(-) (2)) from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase underlies the development of diabetic nephropathy in the rat. METHODS Rats received apocynin (16 mg/kg/day) from 2 to 8 weeks after inducing diabetes mellitus (DM) with streptozotocin. RESULTS DM increased excretion of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), lipid peroxidation products (LPO), nitric oxide products (NOx), and protein. The kidneys of rats with DM had increased expression of p47phox and gp91phox and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and increased mesangial matrix with expression of fibronectin and collagen I. Apocynin prevented the increase in excretion of H(2)O(2), LPO, and protein in diabetic rats, increased renal NOx generation, and prevented the increased renal expression of gp91phox and the membrane fraction of p47phox, and reverted the mesangial matrix expansion. CONCLUSION Activation of NADPH oxidase with translocation of p47phox to the membrane underlies the oxidative stress and limited NO generation, despite enhanced eNOS expression in a model of diabetic nephropathy. Apocynin prevents these changes and the associated proteinuria.
