Abstract
Diabetic complications present a serious health problem. Functional damage to proteins due to post-translational modifications by glycoxidation reactions is a known factor contributing to pathology. Extracellular proteins are especially vulnerable to diabetic damage because robust antioxidant defenses are lacking outside the cell. We investigated glucose-induced inactivation of peroxidasin (PXDN), a heme protein catalyzing sulfilimine crosslinking of collagen IV that reinforce the basement membranes (BM). Experiments using physiological diabetic glucose levels were carried out to exclude several potential mechanisms of PXDN inactivation i.e., direct adduction of glucose, reactive carbonyl damage, steric hindrance, and osmotic stress. Further experiments established that PXDN activity was inhibited via heme degradation by reactive oxygen species. Activity of another extracellular heme protein, myeloperoxidase, was unaffected by glucose because its heme was resistant to glucose-induced oxidative degradation. Our findings point to specific mechanisms which may compromise BM structure and stability in diabetes and suggest potential modes of protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) accumulation is associated with ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) dysfunction. Vitamin B6 derivatives positively affected reproduction. The current study was conducted to elucidate the AGEs effects on human luteinized mural GCs steroidogenesis in the presence or absence of pyridoxamine (PM). METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated GCs of 50 healthy women were divided into four parts and treated with media alone (Control), PM alone, or human glycated albumin (HGA) with/without PM. Main steroidogenic enzymes and hormones were assessed by qRT-PCR and ELISA. The AGE receptor (RAGE) protein was also determined using Western blotting. The non-toxic concentration of HGA increased the expression of RAGE, StAR, 3β-HSD, and 17β-HSD (P < 0.0001 for all) but decreased the expression of CYP19A1 at mRNA levels. The increased RAGE protein expression was also confirmed by western blot analysis. These effects resulted in declined estradiol (E2), slightly, and a sharp rise in progesterone (P4) and testosterone (T) levels, respectively. PM, on its own, ameliorated the HGA-altered enzyme expression and, thereby, corrected the aberrant levels of E2, P4, and T. These effects are likely mediated by regulating the RAGE gene and protein expression. CONCLUSION This study indicates that hormonal dysfunctions induced by the AGEs-RAGE axis in luteinized GCs are likely rectified by PM treatment. This effect is likely acquired by reduced expression of RAGE. A better understanding of how AGEs and PM interact in ovarian physiology and pathology may lead to more targeted therapy for treating ovarian dysfunction.

Abstract
Vitamins are a vast group of fundamental organic compounds, which are not produced by the human body but are essential for the living organisms' good health. Vitamins B6 and B12 belong to the same group of hydrophilic vitamins. Structurally unrelated, they share the same purpose as essential components for normal cellular operation, growth and development. Vitamin B6 is an enzymatic co-factor that is vital for countless biochemical reactions, and is also important in sugar and fatty acid metabolization. It encompasses three natural and inter-convertible pyridine-derivatives: pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Vitamin B12 is a cobalt organometallic complex also indispensable in numerous human physiological functions. It has four bioactive forms: cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, and only a few prokaryotes have the ability to biosynthesize cobalamin. This work reviews the significant aspects of vitamins B6 and B12: their vital roles, consequences of deficit; food sources; and methods of determination and respective matrices, with heavy emphasis on chromatographic techniques developed within the last two decades.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a reactive glucose metabolite linked to diabetic cardiovascular disease (CVD). MGO levels surge during intermittent hyperglycemia. We hypothesize that these MGO spikes contribute to atherosclerosis, and that pyridoxamine as a MGO quencher prevents this injury. To study this, we intravenously injected normoglycemic 8-week old male C57Bl6 ApoE-/- mice with normal saline (NS, n = 10) or 25 µg MGO for 10 consecutive weeks (MGOiv, n = 11) with or without 1 g/L pyridoxamine (MGOiv+PD, n = 11) in the drinking water. We measured circulating immune cells by flow cytometry. We quantified aortic arch lesion area in aortic roots after Sudan-black staining. We quantified the expression of inflammatory genes in the aorta by qPCR. Intermittent MGO spikes weekly increased atherosclerotic burden in the arch 1.8-fold (NS: 0.9 ± 0.1 vs 1.6 ± 0.2 %), and this was prevented by pyridoxamine (0.8 ± 0.1 %). MGOiv spikes increased circulating neutrophils and monocytes (2-fold relative to NS) and the expression of ICAM (3-fold), RAGE (5-fold), S100A9 (2-fold) and MCP1 (2-fold). All these changes were attenuated by pyridoxamine. This study suggests that MGO spikes damages the vasculature independently of plasma glucose levels. Pyridoxamine and potentially other approaches to reduce MGO may prevent excess cardiovascular risk in diabetes.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is strongly associated with the onset and/or progression of diabetes. Under conditions of oxidative stress, lipid hydroperoxides are decomposed to reactive aldehydes that have been reported to induce insulin resistance by modifying proteins involved in insulin signaling. Pyridoxamine (PM) can inhibit the formation of advanced glycation/lipoxidation end products by scavenging reactive carbonyl species. Thus, PM has emerged as a promising drug candidate for various chronic conditions, including diabetic complications. In this study, L6 skeletal muscle cells were treated with 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal (ONE), one of the most abundant and reactive lipid-derived aldehydes. Cellular insulin resistance was assessed by measuring insulin-stimulated glucose uptake using 2-deoxyglucose. ONE induced a time- and dose-dependent decrease in glucose uptake. Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis of the reaction between ONE and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) lysate identified multiple modifications that could disturb the interaction between IRS1 and activated IR, leading to insulin resistance. Pretreatment of the cells with PM restored the ONE-induced decrease in glucose uptake. Concomitantly, the formation of PM-ONE adducts in cell culture medium was increased in a PM-dose dependent manner. PM can therefore prevent lipid hydroperoxide-derived insulin resistance by quenching ONE.

Abstract
Pyridoxine and its derivatives, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal have been recognized for more than 70 years and are known for regulating cellular biology and metabolism. During the past few decades, the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of pyridoxine and its vitamers were explored. However, an interesting turnabout was observed in pyridoxine chemical modification in the last two decades. The various important pathophysiological aspects of pyridoxine and its derivatives on several cellular systems have been discovered by researchers. Recent findings have shown that many diseases, like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, tuberculosis, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases are linked to the alteration of pyridoxine. Herein, our main focus is to review the importance of pyridoxine and its derivatives obtained by various chemical modifications, in various disease areas and to recognize important directions for future research.

Abstract
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) fabricated from heterograft tissue, such as glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium (BP), are the most frequently used heart valve replacements. BHV durability is limited by structural valve degeneration (SVD), mechanistically associated with calcification, advanced glycation end products (AGE), and serum protein infiltration. We investigated the hypothesis that anti-AGE agents, Aminoguanidine, Pyridoxamine [PYR], and N-Acetylcysteine could mitigate AGE-serum protein SVD mechanisms in vitro and in vivo, and that these agents could mitigate calcification or demonstrate anti-calcification interactions with BP pretreatment with ethanol. In vitro, each of these agents significantly inhibited AGE-serum protein infiltration in BP. However, in 28-day rat subdermal BP implants only orally administered PYR demonstrated significant inhibition of AGE and serum protein uptake. Furthermore, BP PYR preincubation of BP mitigated AGE-serum protein SVD mechanisms in vitro, and demonstrated mitigation of both AGE-serum protein uptake and reduced calcification in vivo in 28-day rat subdermal BP explants. Inhibition of BP calcification as well as inhibition of AGE-serum protein infiltration was observed in 28-day rat subdermal BP explants pretreated with ethanol followed by PYR preincubation. In conclusion, AGE-serum protein and calcification SVD pathophysiology are significantly mitigated by both PYR oral therapy and PYR and ethanol pretreatment of BP.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a common chronic hepatic disease. This study was done to examine the effect of pyridoxamine against thioacetamide-induced hepatic fibrosis. Animals were divided into four groups (1) control group; (2) Thioacetamide group (200 mg/kg, i.p.) twice a week for eight weeks; (3) Pyridoxamine-treated group treated with pyridoxamine (100 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for eight weeks; (4) Thioacetamide and pyridoxamine group, in which pyridoxamine was given (100 mg/kg/day, i.p.) during thioacetamide injections. Thioacetamide treatment resulted in hepatic dysfunction manifested by increased serum levels of bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Oxidative stress was noted by increased hepatic lipid peroxidation and decreased glutathione (GSH). Increased concentrations of total nitrite/nitrate, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2&9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were noticed in hepatic tissues. Immunostaining sections also revealed overexpression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and collagen IV. Liver fibrosis was confirmed by severe histopathological changes. Pyridoxamine improved the assessed parameters. Moreover, histopathological and immunohistological studies supported the ability of pyridoxamine to reduce liver fibrosis. The findings of the present study provide evidence that pyridoxamine is a novel target for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the heritable dento-osseous disease caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) of the gene ALPL that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). TNSALP is a cell-surface homodimeric phosphomonoester phosphohydrolase expressed in healthy people especially in the skeleton, liver, kidneys, and developing teeth. In HPP, diminished TNSALP activity leads to extracellular accumulation of its natural substrates including inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), an inhibitor of mineralization, and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the principal circulating form of vitamin B6 (B6). Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance involving >450 usually missense defects scattered throughout ALPL largely explains the remarkably broad-ranging severity of this inborn-error-of-metabolism. In 1985 when we identified elevated plasma PLP as a biochemical hallmark of HPP, all 14 investigated affected children and adults had markedly increased PLP levels. However, pyridoxal (PL), the dephosphorylated form of PLP that enters cells to cofactor many enzymatic reactions, was not low but often inexplicably elevated. Levels of pyridoxic acid (PA), the B6 degradation product quantified to assess B6 sufficiency, were unremarkable. Canonical signs or symptoms of B6 deficiency or toxicity were absent. B6-dependent seizures in infants with life-threatening HPP were later explained by their profound deficiency of TNSALP activity blocking PLP dephosphorylation to PL and diminishing gamma-aminobutyric acid synthesis in the brain. Now, there is speculation that altered B6 metabolism causes further clinical complications in HPP. Herein, we assessed the plasma PL and PA levels accompanying previously reported elevated plasma PLP concentrations in 150 children and adolescents with HPP. Their mean (SD) plasma PL level was nearly double the mean for our healthy pediatric controls: 66.7 (59.0) nM versus 37.1 (22.2) nM (P < 0.0001), respectively. Their PA levels were broader than our pediatric control range, but their mean value was normal; 40.2 (25.1) nM versus 39.3 (9.9) nM (P = 0.7793), respectively. In contrast, adults with HPP often had plasma PL and PA levels suggestive of dietary B6 insufficiency. We discuss why the B6 levels of our pediatric patients with HPP would not cause B6 toxicity or deficiency, whereas in affected adults dietary B6 insufficiency can develop.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Vitamin B6 is involved in a large spectrum of physiological processes and comprises of the vitamers pyridoxamine (PM), pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN), and their phosphorylated derivatives including the biological active pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). While PN toxicity is known to complicate several treatments, PM has shown promise in relation to the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases by blocking oxidative degradation and scavenging toxic dicarbonyl compounds and reactive oxygen species. We aimed to assess the metabolization of oral PM supplements in a single and three daily dose. MATERIALS AND METHODS We optimized and validated a method for the quantification of the B6 vitamers in plasma and urine using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Five healthy volunteers were recruited to study PM metabolization after a single oral dose of 200 mg PM or a three daily dose of 67 mg PM. A third protocol was implemented as control for dietary intake. Venous blood samples, 24 h urine and fasted second void urine samples were collected. RESULTS After a single oral dose of 200 mg PM, plasma PM increased in the first 3 h to a maximum of 2324 ± 266 nmol/L. While plasma PM levels returned to baseline after ~10 h of PM intake, PLP increased to a maximum of 2787 ± 329 nmol/L and reached a plateau. We found a small increase of PN to a maximum of 13.5 ± 2.1 nmol/L; it was nearly undetectable after ~12 h. With a three daily dose of 67 mg PM we observed an increase and decline of plasma PM, PL, and PN concentrations after each PM intake. PLP showed a similar increase as in the single dose protocol and accumulated over time. CONCLUSION In this study we showed high plasma levels of PM after oral PM supplementation. We found steadily increasing levels of the biologically active PLP, with minimal formation of PN. The B6 vitamer PM is an interesting supplement as an inhibitor of harmful processes in metabolic diseases and for the treatment of vitamin B6 deficiency. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY The study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Maastricht University (NL) and was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02954588.

Abstract
High plasma levels of the sphingolipid intermediates ceramide (Cer) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are suggested to be involved in the development of insulin resistance (IR). Recent evidence indicates that advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) can alter the sphingolipids metabolism equilibrium. Since enzymes responsible for sphingolipid rheostat maintenance are highly expressed in liver, we thus investigated whether AGEs accumulation can affect hepatic sphingolipids metabolism in insulin resistant mice. Two different models of IR were examined: genetically diabetic LeptrDb-/- (DbDb) and diet-induced insulin resistant C57Bl/6J mice fed a 60% trans-fat diet (HFD). In addition, a group of HFD mice was supplemented with the anti-AGEs compound pyridoxamine. AGEs were evaluated in the liver by western blotting. Cer and S1P were measured by UHPLC-MS/MS. The expression of RAGE and of enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism were assessed by RT-PCR and western blotting. HepG2 cells were used to study the effect of the major AGE Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML)-albumin on sphingolipid metabolism and the role of the receptor of AGEs (RAGE). High levels of AGEs and RAGE were detected in the liver of both DbDb and HFD mice in comparison to controls. The expression of enzymes of sphingolipid metabolism was altered in both models, accompanied by increased levels of Cer and S1P. Specifically, ceramide synthase 5 and sphingosine kinase 1 were increased, while neutral ceramidase was reduced. Pyridoxamine supplementation to HFD mice diminished hepatic AGEs and prevented alterations of sphingolipid metabolism and the development of IR. CML administration to HepG2 cells evoked alterations similar to those observed in vivo, that were in part mediated by the binding to RAGE. The present study shows a direct involvement of AGEs in alterations of sphingolipid metabolism associated to the development of IR. The modulation of sphingolipids metabolism through the prevention of AGEs accumulation by pyridoxamine may reduce the development of IR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to examine the effect of a diet intervention and pyridoxamine (PM) supplementation on hepatic microcirculatory and metabolic dysfunction in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS NAFLD in Wistar rats was induced with a high-fat diet for 20 weeks (NAFLD 20 weeks), and control animals were fed with a standard diet. The NAFLD diet intervention group received the control diet between weeks 12 and 20 (NAFLD 12 weeks), while the NAFLD 12 weeks + PM group also received PM. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, body weight (BW), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and hepatic microvascular blood flow (HMBF) were evaluated at the end of the protocol. RESULTS The NAFLD group exhibited a significant increase in BW and VAT, which was prevented by the diet intervention, irrespective of PM treatment. The FBG was elevated in the NAFLD group, and caloric restriction improved this parameter, although additional improvement was achieved by PM. The NAFLD group displayed a 31% decrease in HMBF, which was partially prevented by caloric restriction and completely prevented when PM was added. HMBF was negatively correlated to BW, FBG, and VAT content. CONCLUSION PM supplementation in association with lifestyle modifications could be an effective intervention for metabolic and hepatic vascular complications.

Abstract
Vitamin B6 comprises an important set of molecules tightly interwoven with the human amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Analytical methods striving for the quantification of individual B6 vitamers so far mostly rely on methods based on HPLC in combination with fluorescence detection, but their application encounters multiple difficulties due to the chemical divergence of the single vitamers. The present study describes the development of a method based on LC-MS/MS and stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) for the simultaneous quantification of five vitamers (PN, PL, PM, PMP, and PNG) of the B6 group in food samples. [13C3]-PN, [13C3]-PL, and [13C6]-PNG were applied as internal standards for the analysis of PN, PL, and PNG. PM and PMP were quantified via matrix-matched calibration referring to [13C3]-PN. The developed method was validated using starch matrix. The limits of detection and quantification ranged from 0.0028 to 0.02 mg/kg and from 0.0085 to 0.059 mg/kg, respectively, for all analytes. Calculated recoveries varied from 92 to 111%. Intra-injection precisions ranged from 0 to 9%, inter-day precisions from 4 to 10%, and intra-day precisions from 4 to 10%. A total of 14 plant-based food samples including fruits, vegetables, and cereals were examined for their content of vitamin B6 using the validated method. Furthermore, the first quantitation of PNG without enzymatic steps or divergent internal standards was undertaken utilizing LC-MS/MS and SIDA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of diabetes mellitus on the central nervous system is less widely studied than in the peripheral nervous system, but there is increasing evidence that it elevates the risk of developing cognitive deficits. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of experimental diabetes on the proteome and metabolome of the hippocampus. We tested the hypothesis that the vitamin B6 isoform pyridoxamine is protective against functional and molecular changes in diabetes. METHODS We tested recognition memory using the novel object recognition (NOR) test in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic, age-matched control, and pyridoxamine- or insulin-treated diabetic male Wistar rats. Comprehensive untargeted metabolomic and proteomic analyses, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and iTRAQ-enabled protein quantitation respectively, were utilized to characterize the molecular changes in the hippocampus in diabetes. RESULTS We demonstrated diabetes-specific, long-term (but not short-term) recognition memory impairment and that this deficit was prevented by insulin or pyridoxamine treatment. Metabolomic analysis showed diabetes-associated changes in 13/82 identified metabolites including polyol pathway intermediates glucose (9.2-fold), fructose (4.9-fold) and sorbitol (5.2-fold). We identified and quantified 4807 hippocampal proteins; 806 were significantly altered in diabetes. Pathway analysis revealed significant alterations in cytoskeletal components associated with synaptic plasticity, glutamatergic signaling, oxidative stress, DNA damage and FXR/RXR activation pathways in the diabetic rat hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate a protective effect of pyridoxamine against diabetes-induced cognitive deficits, and our comprehensive 'omics datasets provide insight into the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction enabling development of further mechanistic and therapeutic studies.

Abstract
It is known that receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligands accumulate in the fat tissues of obese individuals, and RAGE ligands induce M1 macrophage polarization, which in turn induces inflammation. We evaluated the effect of pyridoxamine on RAGE ligand accumulation and M1 polarization in the visceral, subcutaneous, and perivascular fat tissues of Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high fat diet (HFD). Pyridoxamine reduced HFD-induced weight gain, attenuated adipocyte size increases, RAGE ligand accumulations, RAGE-RAGE ligands binding, decreased macrophage M1 polarization and increased M2 polarization in visceral fat tissues, but not in subcutaneous tissues. Pyridoxamine induced glyoxalase 1 (Glo-1) expression in visceral fat in the HFD group, whereas pyridoxamine induced Glo-1 expression in perivascular fat tissues was no higher than that observed in the normal fat diet (NFD) controls. In vitro, pyridoxamine suppressed the release of RAGE ligands from AGE treated macrophages, but non-significantly attenuated RAGE ligands release in AGE treated adipocytes. Pyridoxamine was found to suppress weight increases and M1 polarization, and to increase Glo-1 expression through the RAGE pathway in perivascular and visceral fat tissues of HFD-induced obese rats. These findings suggest pyridoxamine is a candidate for the treatment of obesity or complications related to obesity-induced inflammation.

Abstract
Pyridoxamine, which is a form of vitamin B6, is a promising candidate for a prophylactic and/or remedy for diabetic complications. Pyridoxamine is chemically synthesized by an oxidative method in manufacturing. However, pyridoxamine production by bioconversion, which is generally preferable for environmental and energetic aspects, has been little investigated. Therefore, I aimed to produce pyridoxamine from pyridoxine, which is a readily and economically available starting material, by bioconversion using a Rhodococcus expression system. I found in the bioconversion of pyridoxine to pyridoxal, approximately 450 mM pyridoxal was produced from 500 mM pyridoxine using recombinant Rhodococcus erythropolis expressing the pyridoxine 4-oxidase gene derived from Mesorhizobium loti. Next, in the bioconversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxamine using recombinant R. erythropolis expressing the pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase gene derived from M. loti, the bioconversion rate was approximately 80% under the same conditions as pyridoxal production. Finally, in the bioconversion of pyridoxine to pyridoxamine through pyridoxal using recombinant R. erythropolis coexpressing the genes for pyridoxine 4-oxidase and pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase, the bioconversion rate was approximately 75%. Based on these findings, pyridoxamine production by bioconversion using a Rhodococcus expression system may be of interest for future industrial applications.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the final products of the Maillard reaction, a complex process that has been studied by food chemists for a century. Over the past 30 years, the biological significance of advanced glycation has also been discovered. There is mounting evidence that advanced glycation plays a homeostatic role within the body and that food-related Maillard products, intermediates such as reactive α-dicarbonyl compounds and AGEs, may influence this process. It remains to be understood, at what point AGEs and their intermediates become pathogenic and contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic diseases that inflict current society. Diabetes and its complications have been a major focus of AGE biology due to the abundance of excess sugar and α-dicarbonyls in this family of diseases. While further temporal information is required, a number of pharmacological agents that inhibit components of the advanced glycation pathway have already showed promising results in preclinical models. These therapies appear to have a wide range of mechanistic actions to reduce AGE load. Some of these agents including Alagebrium, have translated successfully to clinical trials, while others such as aminoguanidine, have had undesirable side-effect profiles. This review will discuss different pharmacological agents that have been used to reduce AGE burden in preclinical models of disease with a focus on diabetes and its complications, compare outcomes of those therapies that have reached clinical trials, and provide further rationale for the use of inhibitors of the glycation pathway in chronic diseases.

Abstract
Methods for rapid and direct quantification of enzyme kinetics independent of the substrate stand in high demand for both fundamental research and bioprocess development. This study addresses the need for a generic method by developing an automated, standardizable HPLC platform monitoring reaction progress in near real-time. The method was applied to amine transaminase (ATA) catalyzed reactions intensifying process development for chiral amine synthesis. Autosampler-assisted pipetting facilitates integrated mixing and sampling under controlled temperature. Crude enzyme formulations in high and low substrate concentrations can be employed. Sequential, small (1 µL) sample injections and immediate detection after separation permits fast reaction monitoring with excellent sensitivity, accuracy and reproducibility. Due to its modular design, different chromatographic techniques, e.g. reverse phase and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) can be employed. A novel assay for pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes is presented using SEC for direct monitoring of enzyme-bound and free reaction intermediates. Time-resolved changes of the different cofactor states, e.g. pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate and the internal aldimine were traced in both half reactions. The combination of the automated HPLC platform with SEC offers a method for substrate-independent screening, which renders a missing piece in the assay and screening toolbox for ATAs and other PLP-dependent enzymes.

Abstract
Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs) have been recently related to the onset of metabolic diseases and related complications. Moreover, recent findings indicate that AGEs can endogenously be formed by high dietary sugars, in particular by fructose which is widely used as added sweetener in foods and drinks. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of a high-fructose diet and the causal role of fructose-derived AGEs in mice skeletal muscle morphology and metabolism. C57Bl/6J mice were fed a standard diet (SD) or a 60% fructose diet (HFRT) for 12 weeks. Two subgroups of SD and HFRT mice received the anti-glycative compound pyridoxamine (150 mg/kg/day) in the drinking water. At the end of protocol high levels of AGEs were detected in both plasma and gastrocnemius muscle of HFRT mice associated to impaired expression of AGE-detoxifying AGE-receptor 1. In gastrocnemius, AGEs upregulated the lipogenesis by multiple interference on SREBP-1c through downregulation of the SREBP-inhibiting enzyme SIRT-1 and increased glycation of the SREBP-activating protein SCAP. The AGEs-induced SREBP-1c activation affected the expression of myogenic regulatory factors leading to alterations in fiber type composition, associated with reduced mitochondrial efficiency and muscular strength. Interestingly, pyridoxamine inhibited AGEs generation, thus counteracting all the fructose-induced alterations. The unsuspected involvement of diet-derived AGEs in muscle metabolic derangements and proteins reprogramming opens new perspectives in pathogenic mechanisms of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized, in part, by activation of toxic oxidative and glycoxidative pathways that are triggered by persistent hyperglycemia and contribute to diabetic complications. Inhibition of these pathways may benefit diabetic patients by delaying the onset of complications. One such inhibitor, pyridoxamine (PM), had shown promise in clinical trials. However, the mechanism of PM action in vivo is not well understood. We have previously reported that hypohalous acids can cause disruption of the structure and function of renal collagen IV in experimental diabetes (K.L. Brown et al., Diabetes 64:2242-2253, 2015). In the present study, we demonstrate that PM can protect protein functionality from hypochlorous and hypobromous acid-derived damage via a rapid direct reaction with and detoxification of these hypohalous acids. We further demonstrate that PM treatment can ameliorate specific hypohalous acid-derived structural and functional damage to the renal collagen IV network in a diabetic animal model. These findings suggest a new mechanism of PM action in diabetes, namely sequestration of hypohalous acids, which may contribute to known therapeutic effects of PM in human diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Context: Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs) are signaling proteins associated to several vascular and neurological complications in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. AGEs proved to be a marker of negative outcome in both diabetes management and surgical procedures in these patients. The reported role of AGEs prompted the development of pharmacological inhibitors of their effects, giving rise to a number of both preclinical and clinical studies. Clinical trials with anti-AGEs drugs have been gradually developed and this review aimed to summarize most relevant reports. Evidence Acquisition: Evidence acquisition process was performed using PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov with manually checked articles. Results: Pharmacological approaches in humans include aminoguanidine, pyridoxamine, benfotiamine, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, statin, ALT-711 (alagebrium) and thiazolidinediones. The most recent promising anti-AGEs agents are statins, alagebrium and thiazolidinediones. The role of AGEs in disease and new compounds interfering with their effects are currently under investigation in preclinical settings and these newer anti-AGEs drugs would undergo clinical evaluation in the next years. Compounds with anti-AGEs activity but still not available for clinical scenarios are ALT-946, OPB-9195, tenilsetam, LR-90, TM2002, sRAGE and PEDF. Conclusions: Despite most studies confirm the efficacy of these pharmacological approaches, other reports produced conflicting evidences; in almost any case, these drugs were well tolerated. At present, AGEs measurement has still not taken a precise role in clinical practice, but its relevance as a marker of disease has been widely shown; therefore, it is important for clinicians to understand the value of new cardiovascular risk factors. Findings from the current and future clinical trials may help in determining the role of AGEs and the benefits of anti-AGEs treatment in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light is closely related to human diseases, such as skin cancer, due to irreversible injuries to the skin cells. The UV-induced DNA damage and programmed cell death are important determinants for skin carcinogenesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-ultraviolet-C (UVC) effects of pyridoxamine in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells and its mechanisms of action. RESULTS UVC-induced programmed cell death in HaCaT cells was abrogated by treated the cells immediately after UVC irradiation with 40, 80 and 160 μM of pyridoxamine. Monitoring the UVC-induced-specific reactive oxygen species, we found that 20, 40, 80 and 160 μM of pyridoxamine was also effective in suppressing the induction of reactive oxygen species by UVC. CONCLUSION Overall, our results provided evidence showing that pyridoxamine was effective in protecting HaCaT cells from UVC-induced programmed cell death and may be a potential anti-UVC agent in life and clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Increased levels of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) and their precursors, such as methylglyoxal (MG), in patients with diabetes may account for impaired response to heart ischemia. Pyridoxamine is a derivate of vitamin B6, which has been shown to reduce AGE formation. Our goal was to assess the role of pyridoxamine in protecting from MG-induced impaired heart response to ischemia. METHODS Wistar rats were subjected to MG administration (WM), MG plus pyridoxamine (WMPyr), or no treatment (W). Half of the hearts from each group were submitted to ischemia and the other half were perfused as control. The levels of CEL, Bcl-2, Bax, and total and phosphorylated forms of JNK and Akt were determined. RESULTS Methylglyoxal led to higher levels of AGE and AGE receptor (RAGE) than in the W group. During ischemia, MG caused an impairment of survival pathways and Bcl-2/Bax ratio, a marker of apoptosis. Pyridoxamine treatment decreased glycation and restored the activation of JNK and Akt during ischemia. These events were followed by levels of Bcl-2/Bax ratio similar to W group. CONCLUSION Methylglyoxal-induced AGE accumulation impairs the activation of cell survival pathways during ischemia. Pyridoxamine-induced decrease of glycation inhibited the effects of MG accumulation in the heart, suggesting that it can be of added value to usual diabetic therapy.

Abstract
The benefits of antioxidant therapy for treating age-related macular degeneration, a devastating retinal disease, are limited. Perhaps species other than reactive oxygen intermediates should be considered as therapeutic targets. These could be lipid peroxidation products, including isolevuglandins (isoLGs), prototypical and extraordinarily reactive γ-ketoaldehydes that avidly bind to proteins, phospholipids, and DNA and modulate the properties of these biomolecules. We found isoLG adducts in aged human retina but not in the retina of mice kept under dim lighting. Hence, to test whether scavenging of isoLGs could complement or supplant antioxidant therapy, we exposed mice to bright light and found that this insult leads to retinal isoLG-adduct formation. We then pretreated mice with pyridoxamine, a B6 vitamer and efficient scavenger of γ-ketoaldehydes, and found that the levels of retinal isoLG adducts are decreased, and morphological changes in photoreceptor mitochondria are not as pronounced as in untreated animals. Our study demonstrates that preventing the damage to biomolecules by lipid peroxidation products, a novel concept in vision research, is a viable strategy to combat oxidative stress in the retina.
