Abstract
Glycation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification (PTM) that is correlated with many diseases, including diabetes, cancer and age-related disorders. Although recent work points to the importance of glycation as a functional PTM, it remains an open question whether glycation has a causal role in cellular signaling and/or disease development. In this Review, we contextualize glycation as a specific mechanism of carbon stress and consolidate what is known about advanced glycation end-product (AGE) structures and mechanisms. We highlight the current understanding of glycation as a PTM, focusing on mechanisms for installing, removing or recognizing AGEs. Finally, we discuss challenges that have hampered a more complete understanding of the biological consequences of glycation. The development of tools for predicting, modulating, mimicking or capturing glycation will be essential for interpreting a post-translational glycation network. Therefore, continued insights into the chemistry of glycation will be necessary to advance understanding of glycation biology.

Abstract
This article examines the importance of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and summarizes the structure of AGEs, pathological changes associated with AGEs, the contribution of AGEs to metabolic memory, and the value of AGEs as a predictor of diabetic complications and cardiovascular disease in people with and without diabetes. As a practical focus, skin autofluorescence (SAF) is examined as an attractive approach for estimating AGE burden. The measurement of AGEs may be of significant value to specific individuals and groups, including Black and Hispanic/Latino Americans, as they appear to have higher concentrations of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) than would be predicted by other metrics of mean glycemia. We hypothesize that if the amount of glycation of HbA1c is greater than expected from measured glucose levels, and if AGEs are accumulating, then this accumulation of AGEs might account for the increased rate of complications of diabetes in populations with high rates of vascular disease and other complications. Thus, identifying and modifying the burden of AGEs based on measurement of AGEs by SAF may turn out to be a worthwhile metric to determine individuals who are at high risk for the complications of diabetes as well as others without diabetes at risk of vascular disease. We conclude that available evidence supports SAF as both a clinical measurement and as a means of evaluating interventions aimed at reducing the risks of vascular disease and diabetic complications.

Abstract
Vascular ageing, characterized by structural and functional changes in blood vessels of which arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are key components, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and other age-related diseases. As the global population continues to age, understanding the underlying mechanisms and developing effective therapeutic interventions to mitigate vascular ageing becomes crucial for improving cardiovascular health outcomes. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the current knowledge on pharmacological modulation of vascular ageing, highlighting key strategies and promising therapeutic targets. Several molecular pathways have been identified as central players in vascular ageing, including oxidative stress and inflammation, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, cellular senescence, macroautophagy, extracellular matrix remodelling, calcification, and gasotransmitter-related signalling. Pharmacological and dietary interventions targeting these pathways have shown potential in ameliorating age-related vascular changes. Nevertheless, the development and application of drugs targeting vascular ageing is complicated by various inherent challenges and limitations, such as certain preclinical methodological considerations, interactions with exercise training and sex/gender-related differences, which should be taken into account. Overall, pharmacological modulation of endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness as hallmarks of vascular ageing, holds great promise for improving cardiovascular health in the ageing population. Nonetheless, further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize the efficacy and safety of these interventions for clinical translation.

Abstract
Carbamylation corresponds to the nonenzymatic binding of isocyanic acid to protein amino groups and participates in protein molecular aging, characterized by the alteration of their structural and functional properties. Carbamylated proteins exert deleterious effects in vivo and are involved in the progression of various diseases, including atherosclerosis and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, there is a growing interest in evaluating the carbamylation rate of blood or tissue proteins, since carbamylation-derived products (CDPs) constitute valuable biomarkers in these contexts. Homocitrulline, formed by isocyanic acid covalently attaching to the ε-NH2 group of lysine residue side chain, is the most characteristic CDP. Sensitive and specific quantification of homocitrulline requires mass spectrometry-based methods. This article describes a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of homocitrulline, with special emphasis on preanalytical steps that allow quantification of total or protein-bound homocitrulline in serum or tissue samples. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are irreversible protein modifications that are strongly associated with aging and disease. Recently, the Parkinsonism-associated protein DJ-1 has been reported to exhibit deglycase activity that erases early glycation intermediates and stable AGEs from proteins. In this work, we use mass spectrometry and western blot to demonstrate that DJ-1 is not a deglycase and cannot remove AGEs from protein or peptide substrates. Instead, our studies revealed that DJ-1 antagonizes glycation through glyoxalase activity that detoxifies the potent glycating agent methylglyoxal (MGO) to lactate. We further show that attenuated glycation in the presence of DJ-1 can be attributed solely to its ability to decrease the available concentration of MGO. Our studies also provide evidence that DJ-1 is allosterically activated by glutathione. Together, this work reveals that although DJ-1 is not a genuine deglycase, it still harbors the ability to prevent AGE formation and can be used as a valuable tool to investigate metabolic stress.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the ninth leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is a complex disease that manifests as chronic hyperglycemia. Glucose exposure causes biochemical changes at the proteome level as reflected in accumulation of glycated proteins. A prominent example is hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a glycated protein widely accepted as a diabetic indicator. Another emerging biomarker is glycated albumin which has demonstrated utility in situations where HbA1c cannot be used. Other proteins undergo glycation as well thus impacting cellular function, transport and immune response. Accordingly, these glycated counterparts may serve as predictors for diabetic complications and thus warrant further inquiry. Fortunately, modern proteomics has provided unique analytic capability to enable improved and more comprehensive exploration of glycating agents and glycated proteins. This review broadly covers topics from epidemiology of diabetes to modern analytical tools such as mass spectrometry to facilitate a better understanding of diabetes pathophysiology. This serves as an attempt to connect clinically relevant questions with findings of recent proteomic studies to suggest future avenues of diabetes research.

Abstract
Previous research has shown that production of the high levels of oxidants overwhelms the body's antioxidant defense system during diabetes mellitus. Under this circumstance, ocular lens proteins are one of the main molecular targets for oxidative damage. In the present study, the individual effect of partial and extensive oxidation on the structure and function of human αB-crystallin was investigated using electrophoresis and various spectroscopic methods. The results of our study suggested that widespread oxidation causes loss of the chaperone activity of this protein, while partial oxidation significantly enhances this activity. Our studies also suggested that partial and extensive oxidation induces the formation of different structures in this protein. In fact, the chaperone-active and chaperone-inactive states of this protein are respectively associated with a minor and extensive structural alteration. Moreover, the oligomeric size distribution shows an inverse relationship with the chaperone activity of this protein. Increasing the chaperone activity of this protein during partial oxidation may be a natural defense mechanism to overcome the damages caused by oxidative stress, especially in diabetes and other pathological diseases.

Abstract
Background: This study aims to investigate potential markers of psoriasis and aging, and to elucidate possible connections between these two processes. Methods: The serum samples of 60 psoriatic patients and 100 controls were analysed, and the levels of four selected parameters (AGEs, RAGE, NAD, and elastin) were determined using commercial ELISA kits. Serum C-reactive protein was assayed using an immune-nephelometry method. Findings: Among the patients, the levels of CRP, AGEs, and RAGE were all increased, while the levels of NAD were reduced when compared to the control group. A negative correlation between the levels of AGEs and NAD was found. A negative correlation between age and the NAD levels among the control group was observed, however among the patients the relationship was diminished. While there was no difference in the levels of native elastin between the patients and the controls, a positive correlation between the levels of native elastin and age and a negative correlation between the levels of native elastin and the severity of psoriasis were found. Conclusions: The results of our study support the notion of psoriasis and possibly other immune-mediated diseases accelerating the aging process through sustained systemic damage. The serum levels of CRP, NAD, AGEs, and RAGE appear to be promising potential biomarkers of psoriasis. The decrease in the serum levels of NAD is associated with (pro)inflammatory states. Our analysis indicates that the levels of native elastin might strongly reflect both the severity of psoriasis and the aging process.

Abstract
Abstract
Premature loss of functional integrity of the nervous system in chronic renal failure (CRF) as a consequence of persistent biological activities of the general uremic milieu is almost identical to its structural and functional involution during the process of physiological ageing, but disproportionate and independent of chronological age. In the hyperuremic status of CRF (urea - carbamide), forced carbamylation, as a non-enzymatic post-translational modification (NEPTM) of proteins and amino acids, by changing their biological properties and decreasing proteolysis capacity, represents pathogenetic potential of intensified molecular ageing and accelerated, pathological involution. Physiological predisposition and the exposure of neuropathy before complications of other organs and organ systems in CRF, due to the simultaneous and mutually pathogenetically related uremic lesion and the tissue and vascular segment of the nervous system, direct interest towards proteomic analytical techniques of quantification of carbamylated products as biomarkers of uremic neurotoxicity. Hypothetically, identical to the already established applications of other NEPTM products in practice, they have the potential of clinical methodology in the evaluation of uremic neuropathy and its contribution to the general prediction, but also to the change of the conventional CRF classification. In addition, the identification and therapeutic control of the substrate of accelerated involution, responsible for the amplification of not only neurological but also general degenerative processes in CRF, is attractive in the context of the well-known attitude towards aging.

Abstract
Because of their long lifespan, matrix proteins of the vascular wall, such as elastin, are subjected to molecular aging characterized by non-enzymatic post-translational modifications, like carbamylation which results from the binding of cyanate (mainly derived from the dissociation of urea) to protein amino groups. While several studies have demonstrated a relationship between increased plasma concentrations of carbamylated proteins and the development of cardiovascular diseases, molecular mechanisms explaining the involvement of protein carbamylation in these pathological contexts remain to be fully elucidated. The aim of this work was to determine whether vascular elastic fibers could be carbamylated, and if so, what impact this phenomenon would have on the mechanical properties of the vascular wall. Our experiments showed that vascular elastin was carbamylated in vivo. Fiber morphology was unchanged after in vitro carbamylation, as well as its sensitivity to elastase degradation. In mice fed with cyanate-supplemented water in order to increase protein carbamylation within the aortic wall, an increased stiffness in elastic fibers was evidenced by atomic force microscopy, whereas no fragmentation of elastic fiber was observed. In addition, this increased stiffness was also associated with an increase in aortic pulse wave velocity in ApoE-/- mice. These results provide evidence for the carbamylation of elastic fibers which results in an increase in their stiffness at the molecular level. These alterations of vessel wall mechanical properties may contribute to aortic stiffness, suggesting a new role for carbamylation in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone isomer, MGH-1, is an abundant advanced glycation end-product (AGE) associated with disease and age-related disorders. As AGE formation occurs spontaneously and without an enzyme, it remains unknown why certain sites on distinct proteins become modified with specific AGEs. Here, we use a combinatorial peptide library to determine the chemical features that favor MGH-1. When properly positioned, tyrosine is found to play an active mechanistic role that facilitates MGH-1 formation. This work offers mechanistic insight connecting multiple AGEs, including MGH-1 and carboxyethylarginine (CEA), and reconciles the role of negative charge in influencing glycation outcomes. Further, this study provides clear evidence that glycation outcomes can be influenced through long- or medium-range cooperative interactions. This work demonstrates that these chemical features also predictably template selective glycation on full-length protein targets expressed in mammalian cells. This information is vital for developing methods that control glycation in living cells and will enable the study of glycation as a functional post-translational modification. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), such as methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone isomer (MGH-1), are associated with disease and age-related disorders, and occur spontaneously, so it is unclear why specific protein sites become modified with specific AGEs. Here, the authors use a combinatorial peptide library to determine the chemical features that favour MGH-1 formation for short peptides and demonstrate a key role of tyrosine in this process.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation is a post-translational modification of long-lived matrix proteins such as type I collagen. It occurs during aging and leads to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). AGE accumulation is associated with severe complications in chronic and age-related diseases. The assessment of modifications induced by this (patho)physiological process represents an interest in biology and medicine for a better patient care. The objective of our work was to position the interest of Raman spectroscopy in the quantification of collagen glycation. Two types of in vitro glycation were used by incubating collagen samples, at different durations, with ribose or glyoxylic acid; these reducing agents acting on the chemical specificity of the glycation reaction. Glycation efficiency was evaluated by the liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantification of carboxymethyllysine (CML) and pentosidine, which are among the most studied AGEs. Raman data were processed by PCA coupled to validity indices and Lasso regression as multivariate analysis tools. Regression models were constructed by considering the LC-MS/MS results as reference values. A marked variability was observed within the Raman datasets making difficult the identification of spectral differences between control and ribose-treated collagen samples. By taking advantage of the chemical specificity of the glyoxylic acid treatment leading to CML formation, on one hand, and the feature selection included in the Lasso algorithm, on the other hand, Raman markers associated with glycation were identified. The assigned vibrations corresponded to modifications of side chains of collagen. In addition, a threshold of CML concentration was determined as quantitative indicator of the applicability of Raman spectroscopy for potential patient follow-up purposes. Although lacking in sensitivity to directly detect AGEs in collagen, Raman spectroscopy allows to highlight the molecular modifications of collagen induced by glycation.

Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2021; 13:1759720X21989868. [PMID: 33628335 PMCID: PMC7882754 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x21989868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are key factors in the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria markers. However, about 30% of patients diagnosed with RA are seronegative, rationalizing the need for new serologic markers for RA. Antibodies against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) and against peptidyl-arginine deiminase type 4 (anti-PAD4) have been postulated to be useful RA markers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of anti-CarP and anti-PAD4 in a well-characterized population of RA patients and healthy controls (HCs). Methods: A total of 122 RA patients and 30 HCs were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of ACPA, anti-PAD4, anti-CarP and RF were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent immunoassays (ELISAs). Synthetic carbamylated peptides were used in the ELISA assay to determine the protein targets of the anti-CarP antibodies. Results: Rates of ACPA, RF, anti-PAD4 and anti-CarP positivity were 85.2%, 67.2%, 55.7% and 46.7% in RA, and 0%, 0%, 6.7% and 6.7% in HC respectively. In the RA population, 25.4% of patients had all four types of antibodies positive, while 6.6% had no antibodies. There was a significant correlation between anti-PAD4 and ACPAs (rs = 0.39), RF and ACPAs, (rs = 0.3) and RF and anti-CarP, (rs = 0.3). There was no correlation between ACPAs and anti-CarP. Anti-CarP positivity was noted in 49 (47.1%) and 45 (54.9%) of ACPAs and RF positive patients respectively. In addition, five anti-CarP+ patients did not have ACPA nor RF. Conclusion: Anti-CarP but not anti-PAD4 may be a useful biomarker in identifying ACPA/RF negative RA patients. This antibody may identify an additional RA population who may benefit from early implementation of aggressive therapy.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, autoimmune connective tissue disease. In addition to joint involvement, extra-articular changes and organ complications also occur in the course of the disease. Untreated disease leads to disability and premature death. Therefore, it is important to recognise and begin treatment early. Based on the presence of rheumatoid factor and antibodies against citrullinated peptides, we can distinguish two forms of the disease: seropositive and seronegative. Research continues to elucidate the mechanisms of the onset of the disease, as well as to uncover factors that induce and influence the activity of the disease. The presence of markers that initially appear and affect the course of the disease can potentially aid in patient treatment. In this article, we have collected biomarkers of rheumatoid arthritis that are well understood as well as those that have been recently described.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with a dramatic mortality rate due to its vascular complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes leads to enhanced glycation of erythrocytes and oxidative stress. Even though erythrocytes play a determining role in vascular complications, very little is known about how erythrocyte structure and functionality can be affected by glycation. Our objective was to decipher the impact of glycation on erythrocyte structure, oxidative stress parameters and capacity to interact with cultured human endothelial cells. In vitro glycated erythrocytes were prepared following incubation in the presence of different concentrations of glucose. To get insight into the in vivo relevance of our results, we compared these data to those obtained using red blood cells purified from diabetics or non-diabetics. We measured erythrocyte deformability, susceptibility to hemolysis, reactive oxygen species production and oxidative damage accumulation. Altered structures, redox status and oxidative modifications were increased in glycated erythrocytes. These modifications were associated with reduced antioxidant defence mediated by enzymatic activity. Enhanced erythrocyte phagocytosis by endothelial cells was observed when cultured with glycated erythrocytes, which was associated with increased levels of phosphatidylserine-likely as a result of an eryptosis phenomenon triggered by the hyperglycemic treatment. Most types of oxidative damage identified in in vitro glycated erythrocytes were also observed in red blood cells isolated from diabetics. These results bring new insights into the impact of glycation on erythrocyte structure, oxidative damage and their capacity to interact with endothelial cells, with a possible relevance to diabetes.

Increased serum levels of advanced glycation end products due to induced molting in hen layers trigger a proinflammatory response by peripheral blood leukocytes. Poult Sci 2020; 99:3452-3462.

Abstract
Induced molting (IM), a severe detriment to animal welfare, is still used in the poultry industry in some countries to increase or rejuvenate egg production and is responsible for several physiological perturbations, possibly including reactive oxidative stress, a form of metabolic stress. Because metabolic stress has been shown to induce a proinflammatory response involved in attempts to restore homeostasis, we hypothesized that similar responses followed IM. To confirm this hypothesis, we initially confirmed the establishment of oxidative stress during IM in 75-wk-old layers by demonstrating increased production of advanced glycation end products (AGE). Concomitant with increased oxidative metabolites, cellular stress was demonstrated in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) by increased levels of stress gene products (the glucocorticoid receptor, sirtuin-1, and heat shock protein 70 mRNA). Increased expression of stress proteins in PBL was followed by a proinflammatory response as demonstrated by increased levels of proinflammatory gene products (IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA); increased expression of these gene products was also demonstrated in direct response to AGE in vitro, thus establishing a direct link between oxidative and cellular stress. To establish a possible pathway for inducing a proinflammatory response by PBL, we showed that AGE increased a time dependent expression of galactin-3, Toll-like receptor-4, and nuclear factor - κB, all involved in the proinflammatory activation pathway. In vivo, AGE formed complexes with increased levels of circulating acute phase proteins (lysozyme and transferrin), products of a proinflammatory immune response, thereby demonstrating an effector response to cope with the consequences of oxidative stress. Thus, the harmful consequences of IM for animal welfare are extended here by demonstrating the activation of a resource-demanding proinflammatory response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, frequent vascular calcification (VC) and accumulation of uraemic toxins. Advanced glycation end products and S100 proteins interact with the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). In the present work, we aimed to investigate the role(s) of RAGE in the CKD-VC process. METHODS Apoe-/- or Apoe-/-Ager (RAGE)-/- male mice were assigned to CKD or sham-operated groups. A high-phosphate diet was given to a subgroup of Apoe-/-and Apoe-/-Ager-/- CKD mice. Primary cultures of Ager+/+ and Ager-/- vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were established and stimulated with either vehicle, inorganic phosphate (Pi) or RAGE ligands (S100A12; 20 µM). RESULTS After 12 weeks of CKD we observed a significant increase in RAGE ligand (AGE and S100 proteins) concentrations in the serum of CKD Apoe-/- mice. Ager messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were 4-fold higher in CKD vessels of Apoe-/- mice. CKD Apoe-/- but not CKD Apoe-/- or Ager-/- mice displayed a marked increase in the VC surface area. Similar trends were found in the high-phosphate diet condition. mRNA levels of Runx2 significantly increased in the Apoe-/- CKD group. In vitro, stimulation of Ager+/+VSMCs with Pi or S100A12 induced mineralization and osteoblast transformation, and this was inhibited by phosphonoformic acid (Pi co-transporters inhibitor) and Ager deletion. In vivo and in vitro RAGE was necessary for regulation of the expression of Pit-1, at least in part through production of reactive oxygen species. CONCLUSION RAGE, through the modulation of Pit-1 expression, is a key molecule in the genesis of VC.

Abstract
Tissue aging is a complex phenomenon involving molecular aging of matrix proteins, which mainly results from their progressive alteration by nonenzymatic post-translational modifications (NEPTMs) such as glycation and carbamylation. These two reactions, which correspond to the binding of reactive metabolites (i.e. reducing sugars and urea-derived cyanate, respectively) on amino groups of proteins, occur during aging and are amplified in various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease (CKD). Since these reactions target the same functional groups, they can reciprocally compete for protein modification. Determining which NEPTM is predominant in tissues is necessary to better understand their role in the development of long-term complications of chronic diseases. For that purpose, two different murine models were used for reproducing such a competitive context: a CKD-diabetic mice model and a cyanate-consuming mice model. The competition has been evaluated by quantifying glycation and carbamylation products by LC-MS/MS in skin and aorta total extracts as well as in skin type I collagen. The results showed that the simultaneous enhancement of glycation and carbamylation reactions resulted in a decrease of the formation of glycation products (especially Amadori products) whereas the concentrations of homocitrulline, a carbamylation product, remained similar. These results, which have been obtained in both tissues and in purified skin type I collagen, suggest that carbamylation takes precedence over glycation for the modification of tissue proteins, but only in pathological conditions favouring these two NEPTMs. While glycation has been considered for a long time the predominant NEPTM of matrix proteins, carbamylation seems to also play an important role in tissue aging. The existence of competition between these NEPTMs must be taken into account to better understand the consequences of molecular aging of matrix proteins in tissue aging.

Abstract
Impaired glycolysis has pathologic effects on the occurrence and progression of liver diseases, and it appears that glycolysis is increased to different degrees in different liver diseases. As an important post-translational modification, reversible lysine acetylation regulates almost all cellular processes, including glycolysis. Lysine acetylation can occur enzymatically with acetyltransferases or nonenzymatically with acetyl-coenzyme A. Accompanied by the progression of liver diseases, there seems to be a temporal and spatial variation between enzymatic and nonenzymatic acetylations in the regulation of glycolysis. Here, we summarize the most recent findings on the functions and targets of acetylation in controlling glycolysis in the different stages of liver diseases. In addition, we discuss the differences and causes between enzymatic and nonenzymatic acetylations in regulating glycolysis throughout the progression of liver diseases. Then, we review these new discoveries to provide the potential implications of these findings for therapeutic interventions in liver diseases.-Li, J., Wang, T., Xia, J., Yao, W., Huang, F.

Abstract
The aggregation of the α-crystallin protein is the pathological hallmark of cataract. In the current work, peptide fragments derived from native α-crystallin were synthesized and explored as a peptide-based crystallin aggregation model towards cataract. The anti-aggregation potential of aspirin was evaluated towards these peptide-generated aggregates as well as towards the α-crystallin aggregate. The results demonstrated that aspirin had the capacity to inhibit crystallin and crystallin-derived peptide aggregation and could act as a potential therapeutic agent in mitigating cataract. Computational studies were also carried out to study the interaction between the model peptides and aspirin. The results revealed the existence of molecular interactions between the peptides and aspirin, which had a significant impact on the secondary structure of the peptides and potentially modulated their assembly and aggregation behavior. The formation of self-built aspirin nanorods was also explored and their ability to inhibit the aggregation of model cataract peptides and α-crystallin aggregation was validated. These findings open up the possibility of using small molecule-based nanotherapeutics for cataract merely through topical applications, which can be beneficial to cataract patients.

Abstract
Background Identifying frail elderly subjects is of paramount importance in order to conduct a tailored care. The characterization of frailty status is currently based on the collection of clinical data and on the use of various tools such as Fried's criteria, which constitutes a difficult and time-consuming process. Up to now, no biological markers have been described as reliable tools for frailty characterization. We tested the hypothesis that a link between frailty and protein molecular aging existed. This study aimed therefore at determining whether post-translational modification derived products (PTMDPs), recognized as biomarkers of protein aging, were associated with frailty status in elderly subjects. Methods Frailty status was determined according to Fried's criteria in 250 elderly patients (>65 years old) hospitalized in a short-term care unit. Serum concentrations of protein-bound PTMDPs, including carboxymethyllysine (CML), pentosidine, methylglyoxal-hydroimidazolone-1 and homocitrulline (HCit), were determined by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, and tissue content of advanced glycation end-products was assessed by skin autofluorescence (SAF) measurement. Associations between PTMDPs and frailty status were analyzed using logistic regression models. Results Frail patients had significantly (p<0.01) higher CML, HCit, and SAF values compared to non-frail and pre-frail subjects. By multivariate analysis, only HCit concentrations and SAF values remained associated with frailty status (p=0.016 and p=0.002, respectively), independently of age, comorbidities, renal function, C-reactive protein and albumin concentrations. Conclusions HCit and SAF are significantly associated with frailty status in elderly subjects. This study suggests that PTMDPs constitute promising biomarkers for identifying frail patients and guiding personalized patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cats are commonly affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many reactive carbonyl intermediates and end products originating from the oxidative stress pathways are recognised as uraemic toxins and may play a role in CKD progression. The aim of the present study is to confirm whether carbonyl end-product formation is higher in cats affected by CKD and to assess whether an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) might affect these hallmarks. METHODS Twenty-two cats were divided into three groups: a control group (CG), cats with CKD and cats with CKD treated with an ACEi. Serum levels of pentosidine, carboxymethyllysine, advanced oxidation protein products, malondialdehyde, methylglyoxal and hexanoyl-lysine were measured. In addition, biochemical parameters and systolic blood pressure were evaluated. After checking for normality, comparisons between groups were performed followed by multiple comparison tests. P values ⩽0.05 were considered significant. Correlations between concentrations of the considered biomarkers and of the other metabolic parameters were investigated. RESULTS Advanced oxidation protein products, malondialdehyde and hexanoyl-lysine concentrations were significantly higher in CKD and ACEi-treated groups compared with the CG ( P <0.05). Carboxymethyllysine increased in the ACEi-treated group when compared with the CG, whereas intermediate values of these biomarkers were found in the CKD group ( P <0.05). The ACEi-treated group showed the highest values of carboxymethyllysine, advanced oxidation protein products and hexanoyl-lysine. By contrast, the CKD group had the highest concentration of malondialdehyde. No statistically significant difference was found in the levels of pentosidine or methylglyoxal. End products correlated with creatinine and urea and with each other. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Significantly high concentrations of both intermediate and end products of carbonyl/oxidative stress were detected in CKD cats. This is the first study to have concurrently taken into account several uraemic toxins and biochemical parameters in cats affected by CKD.

Abstract
Glycation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification (PTM) that remains poorly understood, largely because it is unknown how it occurs selectively. Using mass spectrometry, it was possible to evaluate total glycation levels, identify distinct glycated products, assign unique glycation sites, and correlate these data with chemical and structural features for a panel of proteins glycated in vitro. It was determined that the extent of glycation does not correlate with pKa or surface exposure at reactive sites. Rather, the data reveal that primary sequence dictates the overall likelihood that a site will become glycated, while surrounding structure further sculpts the glycation outcome. Clustered acidic residues were found to prevent glycation, whereas a combination of tyrosine and polar residues appear to promote glycation. This work contributes important new knowledge about the molecular features that govern selective glycation.

Abstract
In a previous study, broods of the Lake Victoria cichlid Haplochromis ishmaeli raised under hypoxic or normoxic conditions showed striking differences in isohemoglobin (isoHb) pattern that were not observed in two other cichlids that do not belong to the Lake Victoria species flock. We therefore hypothesized that the adaptive mechanism seen in H. ishmaeli in response to hypoxia constitutes a trait that the Lake Victoria species flock inherited from ancestors that lived in hypoxic environments. We tested this hypothesis by designing split-brood experiments with three other representative species from the same species flock: the insectivorous Haplochromis thereuterion, the mollusk-shelling Platytaeniodus degeni and the zooplanktivorous Haplochromis piceatus, while keeping H. ishmaeli as a reference. Split broods were raised, under either normoxia or hypoxia. All hypoxia-raised (HR) individuals of each of the four species exhibited a distinctly different isoHb pattern compared with their normoxia-raised (NR) siblings. The hemoglobin of HR H. thereuterion showed higher O2 affinity compared with NR siblings particularly in the presence of ATP and GTP, indicating that blood of HR juveniles has significantly improved O2-binding affinity under hypoxic conditions. We also tested the capacity to acclimate at greater age in two species by reversing the O2 condition after 7 (H. thereuterion) and 4 (H. ishmaeli) months. After reacclimation for 1 and 2 months, respectively, we found incomplete reversal with intermediate isoHb patterns. As three of the four species do not encounter hypoxic conditions in their environment, this unique trait seems to be a relic inherited from predecessors that lived in hypoxic environments.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a multifunctional protein with ligand binding, transporting and buffering properties. Posttranslational modifications and ligand binding processes are closely related to albumin final functional status. In the last few decades, HSA has been characterized using a broad spectrum of methods, but quantitative data on the HSA's modifications among individuals have not been reported. The investigations presented here are based on the non-denaturing electrocatalytic screening of HSA samples isolated from the blood serum of healthy subjects. The electrocatalytic responses of the native protein (Rnat) varied depending on its modifications among individuals, which enable us to express the inter-individual variability. Consequently, the native HSA samples were subjected to ex vivo carbonylation with 50 mM methylglyoxal for 36 h. The differences between Rnat and the responses of artificially carbonylated protein (Rmod) corresponded with inter-individual binding capacity variations (ΔR = Rnat-Rmod). The coefficients of variation for the Rnat and ΔR values of purified HSA samples were estimated to be 8.5 and 23.2%, respectively. A sensitive non-denaturing electrocatalytic assay was utilized to provide new data about albumin inter-individual variations and evaluate its oxidative modifications and binding capacity, which could be used for further studies targeting not only on HSA but also other clinically important proteins.

Abstract
Protein carbamylation refers to a nonenzymatic modification, which consists in the binding of isocyanic acid on protein functional groups. This reaction is responsible for the alteration in structural and functional properties of proteins, which participate in their molecular aging. Protein molecular aging is now considered a molecular substratum for the development of chronic and inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, or rheumatoid arthritis. As a consequence, carbamylation-derived products have been proposed as interesting biomarkers in various pathological contexts and appropriate analytical methods have been developed for their quantification in biological fluids. The purpose of this review is (i) to describe the biochemical bases of the carbamylation reaction, (ii) to explain how it contributes to protein molecular aging, (iii) to provide evidence of its involvement in aging and chronic diseases, and (iv) to list the available biomarkers of carbamylation process and the related analytical methods.

Abstract
Background Carbonylation, which takes place through oxidation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on specific residues, is an irreversibly oxidative modification of proteins. It has been reported that the carbonylation is related to a number of metabolic or aging diseases including diabetes, chronic lung disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Due to the lack of computational methods dedicated to exploring motif signatures of protein carbonylation sites, we were motivated to exploit an iterative statistical method to characterize and identify carbonylated sites with motif signatures. Results By manually curating experimental data from research articles, we obtained 332, 144, 135, and 140 verified substrate sites for K (lysine), R (arginine), T (threonine), and P (proline) residues, respectively, from 241 carbonylated proteins. In order to examine the informative attributes for classifying between carbonylated and non-carbonylated sites, multifarious features including composition of twenty amino acids (AAC), composition of amino acid pairs (AAPC), position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), and positional weighted matrix (PWM) were investigated in this study. Additionally, in an attempt to explore the motif signatures of carbonylation sites, an iterative statistical method was adopted to detect statistically significant dependencies of amino acid compositions between specific positions around substrate sites. Profile hidden Markov model (HMM) was then utilized to train a predictive model from each motif signature. Moreover, based on the method of support vector machine (SVM), we adopted it to construct an integrative model by combining the values of bit scores obtained from profile HMMs. The combinatorial model could provide an enhanced performance with evenly predictive sensitivity and specificity in the evaluation of cross-validation and independent testing. Conclusion This study provides a new scheme for exploring potential motif signatures at substrate sites of protein carbonylation. The usefulness of the revealed motifs in the identification of carbonylated sites is demonstrated by their effective performance in cross-validation and independent testing. Finally, these substrate motifs were adopted to build an available online resource (MDD-Carb, http://csb.cse.yzu.edu.tw/MDDCarb/) and are also anticipated to facilitate the study of large-scale carbonylated proteomes.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are extremely oxidant and biologically reactive compounds, which form through oxidation of sugars, lipids and amino acids to create aldehydes that bind covalently to proteins. AGEs formation and accumulation in human tissues is a physiological process during ageing but it is enhanced in case of persistent hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and oxidative or carbonyl stress, which are common in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Exogenous AGEs may derive from foods, UV irradiation and cigarette smoking. AGEs elicit biological functions by activating membrane receptors expressed on epithelial and inflammatory cell surface. AGEs amplify inflammatory response by favoring the release of cytokines and chemokines, the production of reactive oxygen species and the activation of metalloproteases. AGEs levels are increased in the skin and blood of patients with severe psoriasis independently of associated metabolic disorders. Intensified glycation of proteins in psoriasis skin might have a role in fueling cutaneous inflammation. In addition, AGEs released from psoriatic skin may increase metabolic and cardiovascular risk in patients with severe disease.

Abstract
4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is considered to be a strong marker of oxidative stress; the interaction between HNE and cellular proteins leads to the formation of HNE-protein adducts able to alter cellular homeostasis and cause the development of a pathological state. By virtue of its high lipid concentration, oxygen utilization, and the presence of metal ions participating to redox reactions, the brain is highly susceptible to the formation of free radicals and HNE-related compounds. A variety of neuropsychiatric disorders have been associated with elevations of HNE concentration. For example, increased levels of HNE were found in the cortex of bipolar and schizophrenic patients, while HNE plasma concentrations resulted high in patients with major depression. On the same line, high brain concentrations of HNE were found associated with Huntington's inclusions. The incidence of high HNE levels is relevant also in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Intriguingly, in this case the increase of HNE was associated with an accumulation of iron in the substantia nigra, a brain region highly affected by the pathology. In the present review we recapitulate the findings supporting the role of HNE in the pathogenesis of different neuropsychiatric disorders to highlight the pathogenic mechanisms ascribed to HNE accumulation. The aim of this review is to offer novel perspectives both for the understanding of etiopathogenetic mechanisms that remain still unclear and for the identification of new useful biological markers. We conclude suggesting that targeting HNE-driven cellular processes may represent a new more efficacious therapeutical intervention.

Abstract
Argpyrimidine (ARP) is an advanced glycation end product thought to be generated from a reaction between methylglyoxal and arginine residues in proteins. In this study, we observed marked accumulation of an approximately 56 kD protein, reactive to anti-ARP antibodies, in the red blood cells (RBCs) of some patients with refractory schizophrenia. This ARP-modified protein was purified from the blood of schizophrenic patients and identified as selenium binding protein 1 (SBP1) by LC-MS/MS. This is the first report of ARP-modified proteins accumulating in RBCs of patients with diseases involving carbonyl stress. We also observed high accumulation of ARP-modified SBP1 in the RBCs of patients with chronic kidney disease. Therefore, this modified protein may be a novel marker of carbonyl stress.

Abstract
As a highly potent reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, peroxynitrite (PON) has endogenous production in the eye ball and contributes to a variety of ocular disorders. In the current study the structural characteristics, chaperone-like activity and conformational stability of R54C mutant αA-crystallin (αA-Cry) were studied upon modification with PON and in the presence of three antioxidant compounds such as ascorbic acid (ASA), glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) using gel electrophoresis and different spectroscopy methods. The results of both fluorescence analysis and gel electrophoresis suggested that PON modification leads to dityrosine-mediated intermolecular cross-linking of this cataractogenic mutant protein. Also, the propensity of R54C mutant αA-Cry for disulfide cross-linking was increased upon PON modification. In addition, the PON-modified protein indicated structural alteration, reduced chemical stability and different pattern of proteolysis. Upon modification with PON, mutant αA-Cry displayed a significant increase in the chaperone-like activity against aggregation of γ-crystallin and insulin. In addition, different antioxidant compounds indicated a prominent role in neutralizing the PON damaging effects on structural integrity and stability of this protein. The results of this study may highlight the importance of antioxidant-rich foods or potent antioxidant supplements in protection of lens crystallins against PON-mediated structural damages and cataract development.

Abstract
The apoptotic/necrotic changes in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) subjected to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cyanate (NaOCN) and their combination were examined. The mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm), the activities of caspases (-2, -3, -6, -8 and -9) and the level of carbonyls and amino groups in proteins were determined and DNA fragmentation. Apoptotic or necrotic cells were identified by fluorescence microscopy using double staining with Hoechst 33258/propidium iodide. Treatment of MNCs with NaOCN (1 mmol/L and 2 mmol/L), alone and in combination with H2O2 (100 μmol/L), led to a significant decrease in the content of amine groups and a significant increase in the carbonyl level of MNCs in comparison with the control. Measurements taken at three time points (30, 60 and 150 min) showed a significant decrease in ΔΨm in MNCs incubated with H2O2, cyanate and their combination. The highest decrease in ΔΨm was observed after 150 min, when a combination of NaOCN and H2O2 was applied. We observed significant increases in the activities of caspases-2 and -3 in cells exposed to H2O2 and the combination of NaOCN and H2O2. An increase in caspase-2 but not in caspase-3 activity was noted in cells incubated with cyanate. A significant increase in caspase-9 activity in MNCs was observed in all arrangements of tested compounds in comparison with the control. In H2O2-treated cells, a higher level of necrotic cells was noted in comparison to apoptotic cells, whereas carbamylation led mainly to apoptotic cell death. The combination of cyanate and H2O2 increased the population of necrotic cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein carbonylation, an irreversible and non-enzymatic post-translational modification (PTM), is often used as a marker of oxidative stress. When reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidized the amino acid side chains, carbonyl (CO) groups are produced especially on Lysine (K), Arginine (R), Threonine (T), and Proline (P). Nevertheless, due to the lack of information about the carbonylated substrate specificity, we were encouraged to develop a systematic method for a comprehensive investigation of protein carbonylation sites. RESULTS After the removal of redundant data from multipe carbonylation-related articles, totally 226 carbonylated proteins in human are regarded as training dataset, which consisted of 307, 126, 128, and 129 carbonylation sites for K, R, T and P residues, respectively. To identify the useful features in predicting carbonylation sites, the linear amino acid sequence was adopted not only to build up the predictive model from training dataset, but also to compare the effectiveness of prediction with other types of features including amino acid composition (AAC), amino acid pair composition (AAPC), position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), positional weighted matrix (PWM), solvent-accessible surface area (ASA), and physicochemical properties. The investigation of position-specific amino acid composition revealed that the positively charged amino acids (K and R) are remarkably enriched surrounding the carbonylated sites, which may play a functional role in discriminating between carbonylation and non-carbonylation sites. A variety of predictive models were built using various features and three different machine learning methods. Based on the evaluation by five-fold cross-validation, the models trained with PWM feature could provide better sensitivity in the positive training dataset, while the models trained with AAindex feature achieved higher specificity in the negative training dataset. Additionally, the model trained using hybrid features, including PWM, AAC and AAindex, obtained best MCC values of 0.432, 0.472, 0.443 and 0.467 on K, R, T and P residues, respectively. CONCLUSION When comparing to an existing prediction tool, the selected models trained with hybrid features provided a promising accuracy on an independent testing dataset. In short, this work not only characterized the carbonylated substrate preference, but also demonstrated that the proposed method could provide a feasible means for accelerating preliminary discovery of protein carbonylation.

Abstract
Protein molecular aging corresponds to all modifications affecting proteins during their biological life, which lead to the alteration of their structural and functional properties. This phenomenon participates in cell and tissue aging and is therefore involved in the aging of human organism. It is also amplified in various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease, where it participates in the development of long-term complications. This review aims at describing the main reactions responsible for molecular aging, their impact on protein properties and the parameters which could influence this phenomenon. A general scheme explaining its role in physiopathology is also proposed.

Abstract
Objectives Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are involved in the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Gestational DM (GDM) is characterized by increased glycemia and oxidative stress, which are factors associated with high serum AGE concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of a serum fluorescence AGE (F-AGE) method as a screening tool for gestational diabetes. Subjects and methods Serum samples from 225 GDM patients and 217 healthy pregnant women (healthy controls) were diluted 50-fold in phosphate-buffered saline, and the AGEs were estimated by fluorometric analysis (λEx 350 nm/ λEm 440 nm). Results No significant (P > 0.05) differences in AGE concentrations, expressed in Arbitrary Units (UA/mL × 104), were observed in the women with GDM or in the healthy controls. Furthermore, F-AGE concentrations did not change significantly during the pregnancy (12-32 weeks of gestation). Only the GDM group had a positive correlation (r = 0.421; P < 0.001) between F-AGEs and serum creatinine concentrations. Conclusion It was not possible to distinguish women with gestational diabetes from the healthy controls on the basis of serum F-AGE concentrations.

Activation of Nrf2 attenuates carbonyl stress induced by methylglyoxal in human neuroblastoma cells: Increase in GSH levels is a critical event for the detoxification mechanism. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2017; 483:874-879.

Abstract
The present study focused on the methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification mechanism in neuroblastoma cells. The involvement of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) pathway as a defense response against the formation of MG-modified proteins, which is well-known evidence of carbonyl stress, was also examined. We found that MG treatment resulted in accumulation of modified proteins bearing the structure of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) derived from MG in SH-SY5Y cells. This accumulation was suppressed by activation of the Nrf2 pathway prior to MG exposure via pre-treatment with an Nrf2 activator, carnosic acid and CDDO-Im, confirming the involvement of the Nrf2 pathway in MG detoxification. Although pre-treatment with the Nrf2 activator did not affect mRNA levels of GLO1, AKR1B1, and AKR7A2, the expressions of GCL and xCT mRNA, involved in GSH synthesis, were induced prior to increase in GSH levels. Furthermore, we demonstrated that a GSH synthesis inhibitor eliminated the MG detoxification effect derived from pretreatment with the Nrf2 activator. These results indicated that increase in GSH levels, induced by pre-treatment with carnosic acid, promoted the formation of the GLO1 substrate, hemithioacetal, thereby accelerating MG metabolism via the glyoxalase system and suppressing its toxicity. It was, therefore, determined that promotion of GSH synthesis via the Nrf2/Keap1pathway is important in the MG detoxification mechanism against neuronal MG-induced carbonyl stress, and Nrf2 activators contribute to reduction in the accumulation and toxic expression of carbonyl proteins.

Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a novel protein increasingly studied in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). RAGE is expressed by several immune cell types, including T cells, antigen-presenting cells, endothelial cells, and the endocrine cells of the pancreatic islets. RAGE binds various ligands including advanced glycation end products (AGEs), high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), S100 proteins, β-amyloid, β-sheet fibrils, and lipopolysaccharide. AGEs are a particularly interesting ligand because their exogenous introduction into the body can be accelerated by the consumption of AGE-rich processed foods. This review will detail RAGE isoforms and its ligands and discuss how RAGE binding on the aforementioned cells could be linked to T1D pathogenesis.
