Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MG) is considered a classical biomarker of diabetes mellitus and its comorbidities. However, a role for this compound in exacerbated immune responses, such as septicemia, is being increasingly observed and requires clarification, particularly in the context of neuroinflammatory responses. Herein, we used two different approaches (in vivo and acute hippocampal slice models) to investigate MG as a biomarker of neuroinflammation and the neuroimmunometabolic shift to glycolysis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inflammation models. Our data reinforce the hypothesis that LPS-induced neuroinflammation stimulates the cerebral innate immune response by increasing IL-1β, a classical pro-inflammatory cytokine, and the astrocyte reactive response, via elevating S100B secretion and GFAP levels. Acute neuroinflammation promotes an early neuroimmunometabolic shift to glycolysis by elevating glucose uptake, lactate release, PFK1, and PK activities. We observed high serum and cerebral MG levels, in association with a reduction in glyoxalase 1 detoxification activity, and a close correlation between serum and hippocampus MG levels with the systemic and neuroinflammatory responses to LPS. Findings strongly suggest a role for MG in immune responses.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an electrophilic α-oxoaldehyde generated endogenously through metabolism of carbohydrates and exogenously due to autoxidation of sugars, degradation of lipids, and fermentation during food and drink processing. MGO can react with nucleophilic sites within proteins and DNA to form covalent adducts. MGO-induced advanced glycation end-products such as protein and DNA adducts are thought to be involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, diabetes, cancer, renal failure, and neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, MGO has been hypothesized to form toxic DNA-protein cross-links (DPC), but the identities of proteins participating in such cross-linking in cells have not been determined. In the present work, we quantified DPC formation in human cells exposed to MGO and identified proteins trapped on DNA upon MGO exposure using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. A total of 265 proteins were found to participate in MGO-derived DPC formation including gene products engaged in telomere organization, nucleosome assembly, and gene expression. In vitro experiments confirmed DPC formation between DNA and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), as well as histone proteins H3.1 and H4. Collectively, our study provides the first evidence for MGO-mediated DNA-protein cross-linking in living cells, prompting future studies regarding the relevance of these toxic lesions in cancer, diabetes, and other diseases linked to elevated MGO levels.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO), a highly reactive precursor of advanced glycation end products, is endogenously produced and prevalent in various food products. This study aimed to characterize protein modifications in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells induced by MGO and identify potential biomarkers for its exposure and toxicity. A shot-gun proteomic analysis was applied to characterize protein modifications in cells incubated with and without exogenous MGO. Seventy-seven proteins were identified as highly susceptible to MGO modification, among which eight, including vimentin and histone H2B type 2-F, showing concentration-dependent modifications by externally added MGO, were defined as biomarkers for exogenous MGO exposure. Remarkably, up to 10 modification sites were identified on vimentin. Myosin light polypeptide 6 emerged as a biomarker for MGO toxicity, with modifications exclusively observed under cytotoxic MGO levels. Additionally, proteins like serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK2 and calcyphosin, exhibiting comparable or even higher modification levels in control compared to exogenous MGO-treated cells, were defined as biomarkers for endogenous exposure. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that motor proteins, cytoskeleton components, and glycolysis proteins were overrepresented among those highly susceptible to MGO modification. These results identify biomarkers for both endogenous and exogenous MGO exposure and provide insights into the cellular effects of endogenously formed versus externally added MGO.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive cellular metabolite, is crucial for plant growth and environmental responses. MG may function by modifying its target proteins, but little is known about MG-modified proteins in plants. Here, MG-modified proteins were pulled down by an antibody against methylglyoxalated proteins and detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. We identified 543 candidate proteins which are involved in multiple enzymatic activities and metabolic processes. A great number of candidate proteins were predicted to localize to cytoplasm, chloroplast, and nucleus, consistent with the known subcellular compartmentalization of MG. By further analyzing the raw LC-MS/MS data, we obtained 42 methylglyoxalated peptides in 35 proteins and identified 10 methylglyoxalated lysine residues in a myrosinase-binding protein (BnaC06G0061400ZS). In addition, we demonstrated that MG modifies the glycolate oxidase and β-glucosidase to enhance and inhibit the enzymatic activity, respectively. Together, our study contributes to the investigation of the MG-modified proteins and their potential roles in rapeseed.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 338:111922. [PMID: 37952767 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2023.111922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
One of the general consequences of stress in plants is the accumulation of reactive oxygen (ROS) and carbonyl species (like methylglyoxal) to levels that are detrimental for plant growth. These reactive species are inherently produced in all organisms and serve different physiological functions but their excessive accumulation results in cellular toxicity. It is, therefore, essential to restore equilibrium between their synthesis and breakdown to ensure normal cellular functioning. Detoxification mechanisms that scavenge these reactive species are considered important for stress mitigation as they maintain redox balance by restricting the levels of ROS, methylglyoxal and other reactive species in the cellular milieu. Stress tolerance imparted to plants by root-associated microbes involves a multitude of mechanisms, including maintenance of redox homeostasis. By improving the overall antioxidant response in plants, microbes can strengthen defense pathways and hence, the adaptive abilities of plants to sustain growth under stress. Hence, through this review we wish to highlight the contribution of root microbiota in modulating the levels of reactive species and thereby, maintaining redox homeostasis in plants as one of the important mechanisms of stress alleviation. Further, we also examine the microbial mechanisms of resistance to oxidative stress and their role in combating plant stress.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) play a crucial role in angiogenesis and repair of damaged tissues. However, in pathological conditions including diabetes, ADSC function is compromised. This work aims at evaluating the effect of Methylglyoxal (MGO), a product of chronic hyperglycemia, on mouse ADSCs' (mADSCs) pro-angiogenic function and the molecular mediators involved. The mADSCs were isolated from C57bl6 mice. MGO-adducts and p-p38 MAPK protein levels were evaluated by Western Blot. Human retinal endothelial cell (hREC) migration was analyzed by transwell assays. Gene expression was measured by qRT-PCR, and SA-βGal activity by cytofluorimetry. Soluble factor release was evaluated by multiplex assay. MGO treatment does not impair mADSC viability and induces MGO-adduct accumulation. hREC migration is reduced in response to both MGO-treated mADSCs and conditioned media from MGO-treated mADSCs, compared to untreated cells. This is associated with an increase of SA-βGal activity, SASP factor release and p53 and p21 expression, together with a VEGF- and PDGF-reduced release from MGO-treated mADSCs and a reduced p38-MAPK activation in hRECs. The MGO-induced impairment of mADSC function is reverted by senolytics. In conclusion, MGO impairs mADSCs' pro-angiogenic function through the induction of a senescent phenotype, associated with the reduced secretion of growth factors crucial for hREC migration.

Abstract
Glyoxalase 2 is a mitochondrial and cytoplasmic protein belonging to the metallo-β-lactamase family encoded by the hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (HAGH) gene. This enzyme is the second enzyme of the glyoxalase system that is responsible for detoxification of the α-ketothaldehyde methylglyoxal in cells. The two enzymes glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) and glyoxalase 2 (Glo2) form the complete glyoxalase pathway, which utilizes glutathione as cofactor in eukaryotic cells. The importance of Glo2 is highlighted by its ubiquitous distribution in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Its function in the system has been well defined, but in recent years, additional roles are emerging, especially those related to oxidative stress. This review focuses on Glo2 by considering its genetics, molecular and structural properties, its involvement in post-translational modifications and its interaction with specific metabolic pathways. The purpose of this review is to focus attention on an enzyme that, from the most recent studies, appears to play a role in multiple regulatory pathways that may be important in certain diseases such as cancer or oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a known toxic byproduct of glycolysis, with MGO-induced cytotoxicity believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of several diseases. Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is a key enzyme for eliminating MGO in mammalian cells, therefore, compounds affecting GLO1 activity are potential therapeutic agents for MGO-induced disorders. Previously, we found nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) as a potent GLO1 inhibitor. METHODS The inhibitory characteristics of NDGA were determined spectrophotometrically with recombinant GLO1. NDGA-induced growth-inhibition and accumulation of MGO-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were examined in EA.hy926 cells. RESULTS NDGA showed significant inhibition of GLO1 enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent manner. Its Ki value was estimated to be 146-fold lower than that of myricetin, a known GLO1 inhibitor. The co-addition of MGO with NDGA to the cells resulted in significant growth inhibition, suggesting that MGO accumulation, sufficient to affect cell growth, was caused by NDGA inhibiting GLO1. These findings were supported by the observations that the addition of aminoguanidine, a typical MGO scavenger, significantly reversed cell-growth inhibition by co-addition of MGO with NDGA, and that an increase in intracellular MGO-derived AGEs was observed during incubation with the co-addition of MGO with NDGA. CONCLUSION NDGA was found to be a novel and potent inhibitor of GLO1. The co-addition of NDGA with MGO to the cells resulted in increased intracellular MGO accumulation followed by enhanced cell-growth inhibition.

Abstract
The glyoxalase system is a ubiquitous cellular metabolic pathway whose main physiological role is the removal of methylglyoxal (MG). MG, a glycolysis byproduct formed by the spontaneous degradation of triosephosphates glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GA3P) and dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP), is an arginine-directed glycating agent and precursor of the major advanced glycation end product arginine-derived, hydroimidazolone (MG-H1). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous family of lipid-bilayer-vesicular structures released by virtually all living cells, involved in cell-to-cell communication, specifically by transporting biomolecules to recipient cells, driving distinct biological responses. Emerging evidence suggests that included in the EVs cargo there are different metabolic enzymes. Specifically, recent research has pointed out that EVs derived from human amniotic fluid stem cell (HASC-EVs) contain glycolytic pay-off phase enzymes, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Since GAPDH catalyzes the sixth step of glycolysis using as a substrate GA3P, from which MG spontaneously origins, we wanted to investigate whether MG-derived MG-H1, as well as glyoxalases, could be novel molecule cargo in these EVs. By using immunoassays and spectrophotometric methods, we found, for the first time ever, that HASC-EVs contain functional glyoxalases and MG-H1, pioneering research to novel and exciting roles of these eclectic proteins, bringing them to the limelight once more.

Abstract
The accurate segregation of sister chromatids is complex, and errors that arise throughout this process can drive chromosomal instability and tumorigenesis. We recently showed that methylglyoxal (MGO), a glycolytic by-product, can cause chromosome missegregation events in lymphocytes. However, the underlying mechanisms of this were not explored. Therefore, in this study, we utilised shotgun proteomics to identify MGO-modified proteins, and label-free quantitation to measure changes in protein abundance following exposure to MGO. We identified numerous mitotic proteins that were modified by MGO, including those involved in the separation and cohesion of sister chromatids. Furthermore, the protein abundance of Securin, an inhibitor of sister chromatid separation, was increased following treatment with MGO. Cytological examination of chromosome spreads showed MGO prevented sister chromatid separation, which was associated with the formation of complex nuclear anomalies. Therefore, results from this study suggest MGO may drive chromosomal instability by preventing sister chromatid separation.
