Abstract
The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing. Despite normal to higher bone density, patients with T2D paradoxically have elevated fracture risk resulting, in part, from poor bone quality. Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and inflammation as a consequence of enhanced receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling are hypothesized culprits, although the exact mechanisms underlying skeletal dysfunction in T2D are unclear. Lack of inducible models that permit environmental (in obesity) and temporal (after skeletal maturity) control of T2D onset has hampered progress. Here, we show in C57BL/6 mice that a onetime pharmacological intervention (streptozotocin, STZ) initiated in adulthood combined with high-fat diet-induced (HFD-induced) obesity caused hallmark features of human adult-onset T2D, including prolonged hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and pancreatic β cell dysfunction, but not complete destruction. In addition, HFD/STZ (i.e., T2D) resulted in several changes in bone quality that closely mirror those observed in humans, including compromised bone microarchitecture, reduced biomechanical strength, impaired bone material properties, altered bone turnover, and elevated levels of the AGE CML in bone and blood. Furthermore, T2D led to the premature accumulation of senescent osteocytes with a unique proinflammatory signature. These findings highlight the RAGE pathway and senescent cells as potential targets to treat diabetic skeletal fragility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed via the nonenzymatic glycation of sugars with amino acids. Two AGEs, Nε-(1-carboxymethyl)-L-Lysine (CML) and pentosidine, have been observed to be elevated in subjects suffering from a multitude of chronic disease states, and accumulation of these compounds may be related to the pathophysiology of disease progression and aging. METHODS We describe here the development and validation of a specific and reproducible LC-MS/MS method to quantify CML and pentosidine in human serum with lower limits of quantitation of 75 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL, respectively. The analyte calibration curve exhibited excellent linearity at a range of 0-10 900 ng/mL for CML and 0-800 ng/mL for pentosidine. High-low linearity of 5 serum pairs was assessed, with a mean recovery of 103% (range 94-116%) for CML, and 104% (range 97-116%) for pentosidine. RESULTS Serum concentrations of CML and pentosidine were quantified in 30 control and 30 subjects with chronic renal insufficiency. A significant increase in both analytes was observed in renal failure compared to control subjects (2.1-fold and 8.4-fold, respectively; P < 0.001 for both). In a separate cohort of 49 control versus 95 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), serum CML but not serum pentosidine, was significantly elevated in the T2DM patients, and CML was also correlated with glycemic control, as assessed by hemoglobin A1c (r = 0.34, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These mass spectroscopy-based assays for serum CML and pentosidine should be useful in accurately evaluating circulating levels of these key AGEs in various disease states.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Available data associate lipids concentrations in men with body mass index, anabolic steroids, age, and certain cytokines. Data were less clear in women, especially across the full adult lifespan, and when segmented by premenopausal and postmenopausal status. SUBJECTS 120 healthy women (60 premenopausal and 60 postmenopausal) in Olmsted County, MN, USA, a stable well studied clinical population. Dependent variables: measurements of 10 h fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. INDEPENDENT VARIABLES testosterone, estrone, estradiol, 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, and sex-hormone binding globulin (by mass spectrometry); insulin, glucose, and albumin; abdominal visceral, subcutaneous, and total abdominal fat [abdominal visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, total abdominal fat by computerized tomography scan]; and a panel of cytokines (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Multivariate forward-selection linear-regression analysis was applied constrained to P < 0.01. Lifetime data: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was correlated jointly with age (P < 0.0001, positively), abdominal visceral fat (P < 0.0001, negatively), and interleukin-6 (0.0063, negatively), together explaining 28.1 % of its variance (P = 2.3 × 10-8). Total cholesterol was associated positively with multivariate age only (P = 6.9 × 10-4, 9.3 % of variance). Triglycerides correlated weakly with sex-hormone binding globulin (P = 0.0115), and strongly with abdominal visceral fat (P < 0.0001), and interleukin-6 (P = 0.0016) all positively (P = 1.6 × 10-12, 38.9 % of variance). Non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol correlated positively with both total abdominal fat and interleukin-8 (P = 2.0 × 10-5, 16.9 % of variance; and P = 0.0031, 9.4 % of variance, respectively). Premenopausal vs. postmenopausal comparisons identified specific relationships that were stronger in premenopausal than postmenopausal individuals, and vice versa. Age was a stronger correlate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; interleukin-6 of triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein; and both sex-hormone binding globulin and total abdominal fat of non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in premenopausal than postmenopausal women. Conversely, sex-hormone binding globulin, abdominal visceral fat, interleukin-8, adiponectin were stronger correlates of triglycerides; abdominal visceral fat, and testosterone of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and age of both non high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein in postmenopausal than premenopausal women. Our data delineate correlations of total abdominal fat and interleukin-8 (both positively) with non high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in healthy women across the full age range of 21-79 years along with even more specific associations in premenopausal and postmenopausal individuals. Whether some of these outcomes reflect causal relationships would require longitudinal and interventional or genetic studies.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a 34-kDa glycoprotein with chymotrypsin-like enzyme activity that circulates both in free forms and complexed to various enzyme inhibitors including antichymotrypsin and α2-macroglobulin. Prostate-specific antigen bound to α2-macroglobulin is not detected by commercial PSA immunoassays. OBJECTIVE To develop a mass spectrometry assay that detects the same forms of PSA as the immunoassays, which could serve as a reference for harmonizing PSA immunoassays. DESIGN Prostate-specific antigen was immune extracted from serum, trypsin was digested, and the LSEPAELTDAVK peptide was quantitated on an API 5000 spectrometer. Calibrators were made by adding 10% free and 90% antichymotrypsin-bound PSA to female sera. The assay was standardized to the World Health Organization 96/670 reference standard. Validation of clinical utility and comparisons with 2 immunoassays (Roche cobas and Beckman Access) were performed using frozen sera aliquots from 100 men undergoing prostate biopsy (50 negative, 50 with cancer) and 5 serial samples collected over time from 5 men with advanced prostate cancer. RESULTS The antibody extraction efficiency was greater than 99%. The assay has an analytic range from 1.2 to 76 ng/mL, with precision ranging from 8.6% at 1.5 ng/mL to 5.4% at 27 ng/mL. The mass spectrometry assay correlated well with 2 immunoassays. All 3 assays showed statistically equivalent separation of prostate cancer from benign disease using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. CONCLUSIONS This mass spectrometry assay can reliably measure PSA concentrations in human serum and could serve as a reference standard for harmonizing PSA immunoassays.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations across the adult female lifespan are not well defined. To address this knowledge gap, SHBG was quantified by both immunological and criterion methods, viz, mass spectrometry (MS). SETTING Center for Translational Science Activities (CTSA). PARTICIPANTS Healthy nonpregnant women (N=120) ages 21 to 79 years. OUTCOMES SHBG, testosterone (T), estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) each determined by MS. Uni- and multivariate regression of SHBG concentrations on age, body mass index (BMI), total and visceral abdominal fat (TAF, AVF), albumin, glucose, insulin, sex steroids, selected cytokines, blood pressure, and lipids. RESULTS By univariate regression, MS-estimated SHBG correlated negatively with BMI, TAF, AVF, insulin, free T and bioavailable T (bio T) (each P≤10(-4)), but not with blood pressure or lipids. By stepwise multivariate regression analysis, free and total T (both positive) and bio T (negative) were correlated with SHBG in all 4 assays (each P<10(-15), R(2)≥0.481). In addition, TAF and BMI were negatively associated with SHBG (P≤0.0066) in 2 SHBG assays, and estrone and IL-8 with SHBG weakly (P≤0.035) in one SHBG assay each. When nonsignificant cytokines were excluded, SHBG was jointly associated with AVF, total T and HDL (P<10(-9), R(2)=0.358). CONCLUSION According to MS, three metabolic factors, T, AVF and HDL, together explain more than one-third of the interindividual variation in SHBG levels. We speculate that these measures reflect insulin action.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Harmonization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) immunoassays is important for good patient care. The specificity of the antibodies used to detect circulating PSA could cause differences in the PSA measurements. METHODS We used mass spectrometry (MS) to quantitate the concentration of five peptides cleaved from trypsin digestion of PSA and compared these measurements with six automated immunoassays. Linear regression and a mixed-effects model were used to analyze the results. RESULTS PSA measurements from the immunoassays and the five MS peptide assays were highly correlated (R(2) > 0.99), but the recovery of the World Health Organization standard and the regression slopes differed across assays. The same relative patterns of immunoassay differences were seen in comparing their results with each of the five MS peptide measurements from different parts of the circulating PSA molecules. CONCLUSIONS Mass spectrometry quantitation of peptides derived from trypsin digestion of immune-extracted PSA could be used to harmonize PSA immunoassays.

Abstract
CONTEXT SHBG concentrations correlate inconsistently with metabolic parameters. HYPOTHESIS SHBG assay platforms contribute to nonuniformities according to the literature. DESIGN The design of the study was a noninterventional quantification of SHBG by two immuno- and two mass spectrometric assays and abdominal visceral fat by computed tomography scan. SETTING The study was conducted at the Center for Translational Science Activities. PARTICIPANTS Healthy men (n=120) aged 18-80 years with a body mass index of 20-43 kg/m2 participated I the study. OUTCOMES Outcomes of the study included a correlation of log SHBG with age, metabolic surrogates [body mass index, albumin, glucose, insulin, abdominal (total and visceral) fat, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index], sex steroids (estrone, 17β-estradiol, T, and dihydrotestosterone by mass spectrometry), and adipocytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12, TNF-α, and adiponectin). RESULTS By univariate regression, age (P<10(-4)), dihydrotestosterone (P<10(-4)), T (P≤.00022), and adiponectin (P≤.0084) were positive correlates, and insulin and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index were negative correlates (P≤.0060) of SHBG in all four assays. Stepwise multivariate analysis unveiled that age and T together could explain 38.1%-52.5% of the statistical variance in SHBG in all assays (P<10(-11)). Multivariate regression without sex steroids unveiled that age (P<10(-5)) and insulin (P<10(-3)) are jointly associated with SHBG levels in the four assays with overall R2=0.215-0.293 and P<10(-6). In one immunological SHBG assay each, abdominal visceral fat and adiponectin were weak multivariates also. CONCLUSION Immunological and mass spectrometric SHBG assays yield both consistent and inconsistent correlations with key metabolic variables in healthy men, thereby potentially explaining earlier inconsistencies in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improved tests are needed for detection and management of prostate cancer. We hypothesized that differential gene expression in prostate tissue could help identify candidate blood biomarkers for prostate cancer and that blood from men with advanced prostate disease could be used to verify the biomarkers presence in circulation. METHODS We identified candidate markers using mRNA expression patterns from laser-capture microdissected prostate tissue and confirmed tissue expression using immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the subset of candidates having commercial antisera. We analyzed tissue extracts with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and measured blood concentrations using immunoassays and MS/MS of trypsin-digested, immunoextracted peptides. RESULTS We selected 35 novel candidate prostate adenocarcinoma biomarkers. For all 13 markers having commercial antisera for IHC, tissue expression was confirmed; 6 showed statistical discrimination between nondiseased and malignant tissue, and only 5 were detected in tissue extracts by MS/MS. Sixteen of the 35 candidate markers were successfully assayed in blood. Four of 8 biomarkers measured by ELISA and 3 of 10 measured by targeted MS showed statistically significant increases in blood concentrations of advanced prostate cancer cases, compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS Seven novel biomarkers identified by gene expression profiles in prostate tissue were shown to have statistically significant increased concentrations in blood from men with advanced prostate adenocarcinoma compared with controls: apolipoprotein C1, asporin, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 11 (CXCL11), CXCL9, coagulation factor V, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 6.

Abstract
AbstractBackground: Zn-α2 glycoprotein (ZAG) is a relatively abundant glycoprotein that has potential as a biomarker for prostate cancer. We present a high-flow liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for measuring serum ZAG concentrations by proteolytic cleavage of the protein and quantification of a unique peptide.Methods: We selected the ZAG tryptic peptide 147EIPAWVPEDPAAQITK162 as the intact protein for quantification and used a stable isotope-labeled synthetic peptide with this sequence as an internal standard. Standards using recombinant ZAG in bovine serum albumin, 50 g/L, and a pilot series of patient sera were denatured, reduced, alkylated, and digested with trypsin. The concentration of ZAG was calculated from a dose–response curve of the ratio of the relative abundance of the ZAG tryptic peptide to internal standard.Results: The limit of detection for ZAG in serum was 0.08 mg/L, and the limit of quantification was 0.32 mg/L with a linear dynamic range of 0.32 to 10.2 mg/L. Replicate digests from pooled sera run during a period of 3 consecutive days showed intraassay imprecision (CV) of 5.0% to 6.3% and interassay imprecision of 4.4% to 5.9%. Mean (SD) ZAG was higher in 25 men with prostate cancer [7.59 (2.45) mg/L] than in 20 men with nonmalignant prostate disease [6.21 (1.65) mg/L, P = 0.037] and 6 healthy men [3.65 (0.71) mg/L, P = 0.0007].Conclusions: This LC-MS/MS assay is reproducible and can be used to evaluate the clinical utility of ZAG as a cancer biomarker.

Abstract
The fluorescent probe Prodan has been widely used as a probe of model and biological membranes. Its fluorescent maxima in phospholipid bilayers vary as a function of phase state, with maxima at 485 for the liquid crystal Lalpha, 435 nm for the gel L'beta, and 507 nm for the interdigitated gel LbetaI phase, with excitation at 359 nm. These spectral changes have been used for the detection of phase changes among these phases. In the present study, the fluorescent properties and partition coefficients of Prodan in model membranes of phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanols have been studied as a function of lipid phase state and cholesterol content. It is shown that the Prodan spectrum in the presence of cholesterol no longer reflects the known phase state of the lipid; in each phase state, the presence of cholesterol leads to a spectrum with the maximum at 435 nm, characteristic of the noninterdigitated gel phase. The partition coefficient of Prodan into these lipids also varies with the phase state, giving values of 0.35 x 10(4) in the interdigitated gel, 1.8 x 10(4) in the noninterdigitated gel, and 7. 6 x 10(4) in the liquid crystal phase. In the presence of cholesterol these partition coefficients are increased to 13 x 10(4) for the liquid crystal and the gel phase, and 5.1 x 10(4) in the presence of 100 mg/ml ethanol. These results suggest that Prodan has preferential interactions with cholesterol, and is thus not a randomly distributed fluorescent reporter probe in membranes containing cholesterol. These results suggest that Prodan should be used only with great caution in complex lipid mixtures, particularly biological membranes.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanol (Peth) is formed in biological membranes when ethanol replaces water in the transphosphatidylation reaction catalyzed by phospholipase D. This charged lipid accumulates in the presence of ethanol, and it has unusual properties that can influence membrane structure and function. We have previously shown that dimyristoylphosphatidylethanol (DMPeth) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanol (DPPeth) form the interdigitated gel phase in the presence of Tris-HCl [O.P. Bondar, E.S. Rowe, Biophys. J., 71 (1996) 1440-1449]. In the present investigation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fluorescence have been used to investigate the effect of cholesterol on the phase behavior of DPPeth and DMPeth. Our results show that cholesterol prevents the formation of the interdigitated phase in the presence of Tris-HCl, and that ethanol counters this influence and restores the ability of these lipids to interdigitate. Pyrene-PC fluorescence probe was used in this investigation and gave results that were in agreement with the conclusions based on the DSC study.

Abstract
Two flavonols, 3-hydroxy-4'-dimethylaminoflavone (FME) and 3-hydroxy-4'-(15-azacrown-5) flavone (FRC) have been investigated as new fluorescence probes for studying the formation of the interdigitated gel phase in lipid bilayers. The formation of the interdigitated gel phase in the saturated symmetrical phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and phosphatidylethanol (Peth) in the presence of ethanol has been well studied. The present study examines the behavior of these new probes in PC-ethanol and Peth-ethanol systems, as well as in PC-cholesterol and Peth-cholesterol vesicles. The present results demonstrate that both flavonols give distinctively different spectra in interdigitated lipid compared to non-interdigitated lipids, when examined in lipids in which the interdigitation behavior is known. This makes them useful for determinations of the structural state of unknown lipids, and for following the transitions between interdigitated and non-interdigitated phases. However, in the presence of cholesterol, only FCR gave appropriate indications of interdigitation. The results with FME in the presence of cholesterol were not consistent with the known behavior of the lipids examined; instead, FME appears to be located preferentially in the cholesterol-rich non-interdigitated regions of the bilayer.

Abstract
Inhibitory effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 and D3 on growth of four neoplastically derived cells were observed in human acute leukemia cell culture CEM-C-1 and CEM-C-7, human cervical carcinoma cell lines C-4-1 and human epithelioid carcinoma cells of cervix HeLa S3K. Concurrently, in dexamethasone-responsive cells C-4-1 and HeLa S3K there was a 1,25(OH)2D3 and D3 induced elevation of alkaline phosphatase with 1,25(OH)2D3 showing the greater effects. It is supposed that vitamins D3-induced alkaline phosphatase activity in malignant cells, which is proposed to be a possible marker of cell differentiation, can be associated with the membrane effects of these vitamins.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanol is formed when ethanol substitutes in the transphosphatidylation reaction catalyzed by phospholipase D. The structural and thermotropic properties of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanol and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanol have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance. These lipids exist in a bilayer phase with no indication of nonbilayer phase formation, as shown by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance. It was found that the phase behavior of these phospholipids before and during the main chain melting transition is different in 50 mM Tris buffer compared to salt solutions. The phase transition behavior and the 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan) fluorescence spectra for both lipids are consistent with the formation of the interdigitated gel phase under certain conditions. Both lipids become interdigitated in Tris-HCl, and ethanol enhances the formation of this phase. Comparative studies of the 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene spectra in dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol, dielaidoylphosphatidylethanolamine, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine further elucidate the value and limitations of this probe as a diagnostic tool for lipid structure.

Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to investigate the effects of vitamin D3 on the physical properties of model membranes including pure phosphatidylcholines (PC's) of chain length from 14 to 18, pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE), and various mixtures of these lipids. The results demonstrate that the interactions of vitamin D3 with PC's are dependent on acyl chain lengths. It was found that vitamin D3 reduces the transition temperatures of PC's and PE's, broadening the transition and reducing the enthalpy, eventually abolishing the transition. The interaction of vitamin D3 with PC varies with chain length; the transition of DMPC is abolished by only 15 mol% vitamin D3 whereas 45 mol% vitamin D3 is required to abolish the transition of DSPC. These variations in vitamin D3 lipid interactions are further explored in various mixtures. In the mixture studies it is shown that vitamin D3 affects the mixing properties of the lipids in the mixtures. The results suggest that the presence of vitamin D3 in lipids can affect the lateral phase distributions of lipids, and thereby have important effects on membrane function.

Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and DPH fluorescence anisotropy have been used to investigate the effects of trans-trans farnesol on the physical properties of model membranes and extracted cell lipids. Farnesol was shown to have a significant effect on the gel to liquid-crystal phase transition temperature, the enthalpy of the transition and the transition co-operativity for extruded vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). The phase transition of DMPC vesicles was eliminated at 25 mol% farnesol. Farnesol decreased the fluorescence anisotropy of the lipids extracted from human leukemia line CEM-C1 cells.
