Definitions
- the instant invention is in the field of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) their formation, detection, identification, inhibition, and inhibitors thereof
- AGEs Advanced Glycation End-products
- Nonenzymatic glycation by glucose and other reducing sugars is an important post- translational modification ot proteins that has been increasingh implicated in div erse pathologies Irreversible nonenzymatic glycation and crosslinking thiough a slow , glucose- induced process may mediate many of the complications associated with diabetes Chronic hyperglycemia associated with diabetes can cause chronic tissue damage which can lead to complications such as retinopathy.
- Glycated proteins have also been shown to be toxic, antigenic, and capable of triggering cellular injury responses after uptake by specific cellular receptors (see for example, Vlassara, Bucala & Striker, 1994, Lab. Invest.
- the instant disclosure teaches previously unknown, and unpredicted mechanism of formation of post-Amadori advanced glycation end products (Maillard products; AGEs) and methods for identifying and characterizing effective inhibitors of post-Amadori AGE formation.
- the instant disclosure demonstrates the unique isolation and kinetic characterization of a reactive protein intermediate competent in forming post-Amadori
- sugars initially react in their open-chain (not the predominant pyranose and furanose structures) aldehydo or keto forms with lysine side chain ⁇ -amino and terminal ⁇ -amino groups through reversible Schiff base condensation (Scheme I).
- the resulting aldimine or ketimine products then undergo Amadori rearrangements to give ketoamine Amadori products, i.e. 1 -amino- 1 -deoxy-ketoses from the reaction of aldoses (Means & Chang, 1982, Diabetes 31, Suppl. 3:1-4; Harding, 1985, Adv. Protein Chem. 37:248-334).
- Inhibition of AGE formation has utility in the areas of, for example, food spoilage, animal protein aging, and personal hygiene such as combating the browning of teeth.
- Some notable, though quantitatively minor, advanced glycation end-products are pentosidine and N ⁇ -carboxymethyllysine (Sell and Monnier, 1989, J. Biol. Chem. 264:21597-21602; Ahmed et al., 1986, J Biol. Chem. 261:4889-4894).
- the Amadori intermediary product and subsequent post-Amadori AGE formation is not fully inhibited by reaction with aminoguanidine.
- the formation of post-Amadori AGEs as taught by the instant disclosure occurs via an important and unique reaction pathway that has not been previously shown, or even previously been possible to demonstrate in isolation. It is a highly desirable goal to have an efficient and effective method for identifying and characterizing effective post-Amadori AGE inhibitors of this "late" reaction.
- combinatorial chemistry can be employed to screen candidate compounds effectively, and thereby greatly reducing time, cost, and effort in the eventual validation of inhibitor compounds. It would be very useful to have in vivo methods for modeling and studying the effects of post-Amadori AGE formation which would then allow for the efficient characterization of effective inhibitors.
- Inhibitory compounds that are biodegradeble and'Or naturally metabolized are more desirable for use as therapeutics than highly reactive compounds which may have toxic side effects, such as aminoguanidine.

- Appropriate sugars include, and are not limited to ribose. lyxose, xylose, and arabinose. It is believed that certain conditions will also allow for use of glucose and other sugars. In a preferred embodiment the sugar used is ribose.
- the instant invention teaches that an effective inhibitor of post-Amadori AGE formation via "late" reactions can be identified and characterized by the ability to inhibit the formation of post-Amadori AGE endproducts in an assay comprising; generating stable protein-sugar post-Amadori advanced glycation end-product intermediates by incubating a protein with sugar at a sufficient concentration and for sufficient length of time to generate stable post-Amadori AGE intermediates; contacting said stable protein-sugar post-Amadori advanced glycation end-product intermediates with an inhibitor candidate; identifying effective inhibition by monitoring the formation of post-Amadori AGEs after release of the stable protein-sugar post-Amadori advanced glycation end-product intermediates from sugar induced equilibrium.
- the assay uses ribose.
- the methods of the instant invention allow for the rapid screening of candidate post-Amadori AGE formation inhibitors for effectiveness, greatly reducing the cost and amount of work required for the development of effective small molecule inhibitors of post- Amadori AGE formation.

- Alloxan induced diabetic Lewis rats have been used as a model for protein aging to demonstrate the in vivo effectiveness of inhibitors of AGE formation.
- the correlation being demonstrated is between inhibition of late diabetes related pathology and effective inhibition of AGE formation (Brownlee, Cerami, and Vlassara, 1988, New Eng. J. Med. 318(20): 1315- 1321).
- Streptozotocin induction of diabetes in Lewis rats, New Zealand White rabbits with induced diabetes, and genetically diabetic BB/Worcester rats have also been utilized, as described in, for example, U.S. Patent 5,334,617 (incorporated by reference).
- a major problem with these model systems is the long time period required to demonstrate AGE related injury, and thus to test compounds for AGE inhibition.
- thiamine is practically devoid of pha ⁇ nacodynamic actions when given in usual therapeutic doses; and even large doses were not known to have any effects.
- Thiamine pyrophosphate is the physiologically active form of thiamine, and it functions mainly in carbohydrate metabolism as a coenzyme in the decarboxylation of -keto acids.
- Tablets of thiamine hydrochloride are available in amounts ranging from 5 to 500 mg each.
- Thiamine hydrochloride injection solutions are available which contain 100 to 200 mg/ml.
- thiamine deficiency For treating thiamine deficiency, intravenous doses of as high as 100 mg/L of parenteral fluid are commonly used, with the typical dose of 50 to 100 mg being administered. GI absorption of thiamine is believed to be limited to 8 to 15 mg per day, but may be exceed by oral administration in divided doses with food. Repeated administration of glucose may precipitate thiamine deficiency in under nourished patients, and this has been noted during the correction of hyperglycemia.
- the instant invention has found, as shown by in vitro testing, that administration of thiamine pyrophosphate at levels above what is normally found in the human body or administered for dietary therapy, is an effective inhibitor of post-Amadori antigenic AGE formation, and that this inhibition is more complete than that possible by the administration of aminoguanidine.
- Vitamin Bg is typically available in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride in over-the- counter preparations available from many sources.
- Beach pharmaceuticals Beelith Tablets contain 25 mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride that is equivalent to 20 mg of Bg, other preparations include Marlyn Heath Care Marlyn Fomiula 50 which contain 1 mg of pyridoxine HCl and Marlyn Formula 50 Mega Forte which contains 6 mg of pyridoxine HCl,
- pyridoxine is a primary alcohol
- pyridoxal is the corresponding aldehyde
- pyridoxamine contains an aminomethyl group at this position.
- pyridoxine is a primary alcohol
- pyridoxal is the corresponding aldehyde
- pyridoxamine contains an aminomethyl group at this position.
- Each of these three forms can be utilized by mammals after conversion by the liver into pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, the active form of the vitamin. It has long been believed that these three forms are equivalent in biological properties, and have been treated as equivalent forms of vitamin Bg by the art.
- the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry has assigned the name pyridoxine to the vitamin.
- the most active antimetabolite to pyridoxine is 4-deoxypyridoxine, for which the antimetabolite activity has been attributed to the formation in vivo of 4-deoxypyridoxine-5- phosphate, a competitive inhibitor of several pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes.
- the pharmacological actions of pyridoxine are limited, as it elicits no outstanding pharmacodynamic actions after either oral or intravenous administration, and it has low acute toxicity, being water soluble. It has been suggested that neurotoxicity may develop after prolonged ingestion of as little as 200 mg of pyridoxine per day.
- pyridoxine phosphate is involved in several metabolic transformations of amino acids including decarboxylation, transamination, and racemization, as well as in enzymatic steps in the metabolism of sulfur-containing and hydroxy-amino acids.
- pyridoxal phosphate is animated to pyridoxamine phosphate by the donor amino acid, and the bound pyridoxamine phosphate is then deaminated to pyridoxal phosphate by the acceptor ⁇ -keto acid.
- vitamin B complex is known to be a necessary dietary supplement involved in specific breakdown of amino acids.
- the instant invention has discovered that effective dosages of the metabolically transitory pyridoxal amine form of vitamin B (pyridoxamine), at levels above what is normally found in the human body, is an effective inhibitor of post-Amadori antigenic AGE formation, and that this inhibition may be more complete than that possible by the administration of aminoguanidine.
- Bg vitamers especially pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) have been previously proposed to act as "competitive inhibitors" of early glycation, since as aldehydes they themselves can form Schiff bases adducts with protein amino groups (Khatami et al., 1988, Life Sciences 43:1725-1731) and thus limit the amount of amines available for glucose attachment.
- PBP pyridoxal phosphate
- effectiveness in limiting initial sugar attachment is not a predictor of inhibition of the conversion of any Amadori products fo ⁇ ued to AGEs.
- the instant invention describes inhibitors of "late" glycation reactions as indicated by their effects on the in vitro formation of antigenic AGEs (Booth et al., 1996, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Com. 220:113- 119).

- New Zealand white rabbit males of 8-12 weeks were immunized by subcutaneous administration of a 1 ml solution containing 1 mg/ml of glycated protein in Freund's adjuvant.
- the primary injection used the complete adjuvant and three boosters were made at three week intervals with Freund's incomplete adjuvant. Rabbits were bled three weeks after the last booster.
- the serum was collected by centrifugation of clotted whole blood.
- the antibodies are AGE-specific, being unreactive with either native proteins (except for the carrier) or with Amadori intermediates.
- the polyclonal anti-AGE antibodies have proven to be a sensitive and valuable analytical tool for the study of "late" AGE formation in vitro and in vivo.
- CML carboxymethyl lysine
- ELISA detection of AGE products The general method of Engvall (1981, Methods Enzymol. 70:419-439) was used to perform the ELISA.
- glycated protein samples were diluted to approximately 1.5 ug/ml in 0J M sodium carbonate buffer of pH 9.5 to 9.1.
- the protein was coated overnight at room temperature onto 96-well polystyrene plates by pippetting 200 ul of the protein solution in each well (0J ug/well). After coating, the protein was washed from the wells with a saline solution containing 0.05% Tween-20. The wells were then blocked with 200 ul of 1% casein in carbonate buffer for 2 h at 37°C followed by washing.
- Rabbit anti-AGE antibodies were diluted at a titer of about 1 :350 in incubation buffer, and incubated for 1 h at 37°C, followed by washing.

- An alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antibody to rabbit IgG was then added as the secondary antibody at a titer of 1 :2000 or 1 :2500 (depending on lot) and incubated for 1 h at 37°C, followed by washing.
- the p-nitrophenylphosphate substrate solution was then added (200 ul/well) to the plates, with the absorbance of the released p-nitrophenolate being monitored at 410 nm with a Dynatech MR 4000 microplate reader. Controls containing unmodified protein were routinely included, and their readings were subtracted, the corcections usually being negligible. The validity of the use of the ELISA method in quantitatively studying the kinetics of AGE formation depends on the linearity of the assay (Kemeny & Challacombe, 1988, ELISA and Other Solid Phase Immunoassays, John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, U.K.). Control experiments were carried out, for example, demonstrating that the linear range for RNase is below a coating concentration of about 0.2-0.3 mg/well.

- BSA (10 mg/ml) was incubated with 1.0 M glucose in the presence and absence of the various indicated derivative in 0.4 M sodium phosphate buffer of pH 7.5 at 37°C for 6 weeks. Aliquots were assayed by ELISA using R618 anti-AGE antibodies. Concentrations of the inhibitors were 3, 15 and 50 mM.

- Figure 1 (control curves) demonstrates that reaction of BSA with 1.0 M glucose is slow and incomplete after 40 days, even at the high sugar concentration used to accelerate the reaction. The simultaneous inclusion of different concentrations of various B6 vitamers markedly affects the formation of antigenic AGEs.
- Figure 1A-D Pyridoxamine and pyridoxal phosphate strongly suppressed antigenic AGE formation at even the lowest concentrations tested, while pyridoxal was effective above 15 mM. Pyridoxine was slightly effective at the highest concentrations tested.

- Figure 5 is a bar graph which shows a comparison of the inhibition of the glycation of ribonuclease A by thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), pyridoxamine (PM) and aminoguanidine
- pyridoxamine is a candidate amine potentially capable of forming a Schiff-base linkage with the carbonyls of open-chain sugars, with dicarbonyl fragments, with Amadori products, or with post-Amadori intermediates.
- the mechanism of inhibition of B i compounds is not obvious. All the fo ⁇ ris contain an amino functionality, so that the marked efficiency of only the pyrophosphate form suggests an important requirement for a strong negative charge.
- Pentosidine Reverse-Phase HPLC Analysis Pentosidine production in RNase was quantitated by HPLC (Sell & Monnier, 1989, J. Biol. Chem. 264:21597-21602; Odetti et al., 1992, Diabetes 41:153-159). Ribose-modified protein samples were hydrolyzed in 6 N HCl for 18 h at 100°C and then dried in a Speed Vac. The samples were then redissolved, and aliquots were taken into 0J%> trifluoroacetic acid and analyzed by HPLC on a Shimadzu system using a Vydac C-18 column equilibrated with 0.1 % TFA.
- Glycation Modifications Modification with ribose or glucose was generally done at 37°C in 0.4 M phosphate buffer of pH 7.5 containing 0.02%- sodium azide. The high buffer concentration was always used with 0.5 M ribose modifications. The solutions were kept in capped tubes and opened only to remove timed aliquots that were immediately frozen for later carrying out the various analyses. "Interrupted glycation" experiments were carried out by first incubating protein with the ribose at 37°C for 8 or 24 h, followed by immediate and extensive dialysis against frequent cold buffer changes at 4°C. The samples were then reincubated by quickly warming to 37°C in the absence of external ribose. Aliquots were taken and frozen at various intervals for later analysis.
- Samples interrupted after only 8 h produced a final amount of AGE antigen that was about 72%o of the 24 h interrupted sample.
- Samples of RNase glycated with only 0.05 M ribose and interrupted at 8 h by cold dialysis and reincubation at 37°C revealed less than 5% production of ELIS A-reactive antigen after 9 days. Interruption at 24 h, however, produced a rapid rise of ELISA antigen (similar to Figure 7A) to a level roughly 50% of that produced in the uninterrupted presence of 0.05 M ribose.
- the "interrupted glycation" experiments described above demonstrate that a precursor or precursors to both post-Amadori antigenic AGEs and pentosidine can be accumulated during glycation with ribose.
- the kinetics of formation of this intermediate can be independently followed and quantitated by a variation of the experiments described above.
- the amount of intermediate generated in RNase at different contact times with ribose can be assayed by the maximal extent to which it can produce antigenic AGE after interruption.
- the free and reversibly-bound ribose is removed by dialysis in the cold or by rapid dilution (see below).
- Figure 9 shows such an experiment where the kinetics of intermediate buildup are measured for RNase A in the presence of 0.5 M ribose (solid symbols and curve). For comparison, the amount of AGE present before ribose removal at each interruption point is also shown (open symbols and dashed lines). As expected (cf. Figure 7A), little AGE is formed prior to removal (or dilution) of ribose, so that ELISA readings after the 5 day secondary incubation periods are mostly a measure of AGE formed after ribose removal. The results in Figure 9 show that the rate of buildup of intennediate in 0.5 M ribose is exponential and very fast, with a half-time of about 3.3 h.
- the interrupted glycation method was used to investigate the pH dependence of the post-Amadori kinetics of AGE formation from the reactive intermediate.
- RNase A was first reacted for 24 h with 0.5 M ribose at pH 7.5 to generate the reactive intermediate.
- the kinetics of the decay of the intermediate to AGEs were then measured by ELISA.
- Figure 1 1 shows that an extremely wide pH range of 5.0-9.5 was achievable when the kinetics were measured by initial rates.
- a remarkable bell-shaped dependence was observed, showing that the kinetics of antigenic AGEs formation are decreased at both acidic and alkaline pH ranges, with an optimum near pH 8.
- the inhibition is unlikely to apply to the early step of formation of Amadori product due to the rapid rate of formation of the presumed Amadori intermediate that was determined in the experiment of Figure 9.
- the identification of the reactive intermediate as an Amadori product is well supported by the amino acid analysis carried out (after sodium cyanoborohydrate reduction) before and after dialysis at the 24 h interruption point.
- the unchanged residual lysine content indicates that any dischageable Schiff bases have already been irreversibly converted (presumably by Amadori rearrangement) by the 24 h time.
- the secondary ribose suppression of "late” but not “early” glycation steps significantly enhances the accumulation of a fully-competent reactive Amadori intennediate containing little AGE.
- the data may imply the participation of a second amino group, such as from a neighboring lysine, in the formation of dominant antigenic AGEs.
- a second amino group such as from a neighboring lysine
- the observed pH profile and the pH-jump observations described suggest that a useful route to isolating and maintaining the reactive intermediate would be by the rapid lowering of the pH to near 5.0 after 24 h interruption.
- the kinetic studies provide new insights into the mechanisms of action of aminoguanidine (guanylhydrazine), an AGE inhibitor proposed by Cerami and co-workers to combine with Amadori inte ⁇ nediates (Brownlee et al., 1986, supra). This proposed pharmacological agent is now in Phase III clinical trials for possible therapeutic effects in treating diabetes (Vlassara et al., 1994, supra).
- interrupted glycation is not limited for kinetic studies. Interrupted glycation can simplify structural studies of glycated proteins and identifying unknown AGEs using techniques such as ⁇ C NMR that has been used to detect Amadori adducts of RNase (Neglia et al., 1983, /. Biol. Chem. 258:14279-14283; 1985, J Biol. Chem. 260:5406-5410). The combined use of structural and kinetic approaches should also be of special interest.
- candidate AGEs such as the recently proposed (carboxymethyl)lysine (Reddy et al., 1995, Biochemisti ⁇ 34: 10872-10878; cf. Makita et al., 1992, J. Biol. Chem. 267:5133-5138) should display the same kinetics of formation from the reactive intermediate that we have observed. The availability of the interrupted kinetics approach will also help to determine the importance of the Amadori pathway to the formation of this AGE.
- Table I lists the peaks that were assigned to the Post-Amadori Intermediate due to their invariant or decreasing intensity with time. Peak positions are listed in ppm downfield
- Ribonuclease A was reacted for 24 hr with 0.5 M ribose 99% enriched at C-2, following which excess and Schiff base bound ribose was removed by extensive dialysis in the cold. The sample was then warmed back to 37°C immediately before taking a 2 hr NMR scan. The signals from RNase reacted with natural abundance ribose under identical conditions were then subtracted from the NMR spectrum. Thus all peaks shown are due to enriched C-13 that originated at the C-2 position. Some of the peaks arise from degradation products of the inte ⁇ nediate, and these can be identified by the increase in the peak intensity over time. Figure 31 shows the NMR spectrum obtained.
- the interrupted glycation method for following post-Amadori kinetics of AGE formation allows for the rapid quantitative study of "late" stages of the glycation reaction. Importantly, this method allows for inhibition studies that are free of pathways of AGE formation which arise from glycoxidative products of free sugar or Schiff base (Namiki pathway) as illustrated in Scheme I. Thus the interrupted glycation method allows for the rapid and unique identification and characterization of inhibitors of "late" stages of glycation which lead to antigenic AGE formation.
- pyridoxamine and thiamine pyrophosphate are unique inhibitors of the post-Amadori pathway of AGE formation. Importantly, it was found that efficacy of inhibition of overall glycation of protein, in the presence of high concentrations of sugar, is not predictive of the ability to inhibit the post- Amadori steps of AGE formation where free sugar is removed.
- pyridoxamine, thiamine pyrophosphate and aminoguanidine are potent inhibitors of AGE formation in the overall glycation of protein by glucose, aminoguanidine differs from the other two in that it is not an effective inhibitor of post-Amadori AGE formation.
- Aminoguanidine markedly slows the initial rate of AGE formation by ribose under uninterrupted conditions, but has no effect on the final levels of antigenic AGEs produced. Examination of different proteins (RNase, BSA and hemoglobin), confirmed that the inhibition results are generally non-specific as to the protein used, even though there are individual variations in the rates of AGE formation and inhibition.
- Example 1 Preparation of polyclonal antibodies to AGEs As in Example 1 above.
- Glycation was first carried out by incubating protein (10 mg/ml) with 0.5 M ribose at 37°C in 0.4 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.5 containing 0.2% sodium azide for 24 h in the absence of inhibitors. Glycation was then interrupted to remove excess and reversibly bound (Schiff base) sugar by extensive dialysis against frequent cold buffer changes at 4°C. The glycated intermediate samples containing maximal amount of Amadori product and little AGE (depending on protein) were then quickly warmed to 37°C without re-addition of ribose. This initiated conversion of Amadori intermediates to AGE products in the absence or presence of various concentrations (typically 3, 15 and 50 mM) of prospective inhibitors. Aliquots were taken and frozen at various intervals for later analysis. The solutions were kept in capped tubes and opened only to remove timed aliquots that were immediately frozen for later carrying out the various analyses.
- vitamin B derivatives Inhibition by vitamin B derivatives of the overall kinetics of AGE formation from Ribose.
- Figure 18 shows the effects of pyridoxamine (Figure 18 A), pyridoxal phosphate ( Figure 18B), and pyridoxal (Figure 18C) on the post-Amadori kinetics of BSA. Pyridoxine did not produce any inhibition (data not shown). Similar experiments were carried out on RNase. Pyridoxamine caused nearly complete inhibition of AGE formation with RNase at 15 mM and 50 mM ( Figure 18D). Pyridoxal did not show any significant inhibition at 15 mM (the highest tested), but pyridoxal phosphate showed significant inhibition at 15 mM. Pyridoxal phosphate is known to be able to affinity label the active site of RNase (Raetz and Auld, 1972, Biochemistry 11:2229-2236).
- Figure 20 shows the results of testing aminoguanidine for inhibition of post-Amadori AGE fo ⁇ nation kinetics with both BSA and RNase. At 50 mM, inhibition was about 20% in the case of BSA ( Figure 20B), and less than 15% with RNase ( Figure 20A). The possibility of inhibition by simple amino-containing functionalities was also tested using N ⁇ -acetyl-L- lysine ( Figure 21), which contains only a free N ⁇ -amino group. N ⁇ -acetyl-L-lysine at up to 50 mM failed to exhibit any significant inhibition of AGE formation.
- aminoguanidine is an apparently potent inhibitor of many manifestations of nonenzymatic glycation (Brownlee et al., 1986; Brownlee, 1992,1994, 1995).
- the inhibitory effects of aminoguanidine on various phenomena that are induced by reducing sugars are widely considered as proof of the involvement of glycation in many such phenomena.
- Aminoguanidine has recently entered into a second round of Phase III clinical trials for ameliorating the complications of diabetes thought to be caused by glycation of connective tissue proteins due to high levels of sugar.
- Figure 22 are bar graphs which depict summarized comparative data of percent inhibition at defined time points using various concentrations of inhibitor.
- Figure 22 A graphs the data for inhibition after interrupted glycation of RNase AGE formation in ribose.
- Figure 22B graphs the data for inhibition after interrupted glycation of BSA AGE formation by ribose.
- Hyperglycemia can be rapidly induced (within one or two days) in rats by administration of streptozocin (aka. streptozotocin, STZ) or alloxan. This has become a common model for diabetes melitus. However, these rats manifest nephropathy only after many months of hyperglycemia, and usually just prior to death from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It is believed that this pathology is caused by the irreversible glucose chemical modification of long-lived proteins such as collagen of the basement membrane. STZ- diabetic rats show albuminuria very late after induction of hyperglycemia, at about 40 weeks usually only just prior to death.
- Phase I Protocol Two groups of six rats each were given in one day either: a. 300 mM ribose (two intraperitoneal infusions 6-8 hours apart, each 5% of body weight as ml); or b. 50 mM ribose (one infusion)
- Rats were then kept for 4 days with no further ribose administration, at which time they were sacrificed and the following physiological measurements were determined: (i) initial and final body weight; (ii) final stage kidney weight; (iii) initial and final tail-cuff blood pressure; (iv) creatinine clearance per 100 g body weight.
- Renal Physiology Results a. Final body weight and final single kidney weight was same for low and high ribose treatment groups. b. Tail-cuff blood pressure increased from 66 ⁇ 4 to 83 ⁇ 3 to rats treated with low ribose (1 x 50 mM), and from 66 ⁇ 4 to 106 ⁇ 5 for rats treated with high ribose (2 x 300 mM). These results are shown in the bar graph of Figure 23.
- Renal Physiology Results a. Tail-cuff blood pressure increased in all groups of ribose-treated rats, confirming Phase I results. (Figure 23). b. Creatinine clearance decreased in all groups in a ribose dose-dependent and time- dependent manner ( Figure 24). c. Albumin Effusion Rate (AER) increased significantly in a ribose-dependent manner at 1 -day and 4-day exposures. However, it showed some recovery at 8 day relative to 4 day in the high-dose group but not in the low-dose group. These results are shown in the bar graph of Figure 25. d. Creatinine clearance per 100 g body weight decreased for both low- and high- ribose groups to about the same extent in a time-dependent manner ( Figure 24).
- TPP aminoguanidine
- AG aminoguanidine
- ribose plus low dose (“LP") of pyridoxamine (25 mg/kg body weight injected as 0.5 ml with 9 cc ribose);
- ribose plus high dose HP
- pyridoxamine 250 mg/kg body weight injected as 0.5 ml with 9 cc ribose
- ribose plus high dose of thiamine pyrophosphate (250 mg/kg body weight injected as 0.5 ml with 9 cc ribose);
- pyridoxamine and aminoguanidine both at 25 mg/kg, were apparently effective, and equally so, in preventing the ribose-induced decrease in creatinine clearance and ribose-induced mild increase in albuminuria.
- diabetic nephropathy Persistent hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus leads to diabetic nephropathy in perhaps one third of human patients. Clinically, diabetic nephropathy is defined by the presence of:
- Renal function depends on blood flow (not measured) and the glomerular clearance, which can be measured by either inulin clearance (not measured) or creatinine clearance. Glomerular permeability is measured by albumin filtration rate, but this parameter is quite variable. It is also a log-distribution function: a hundred-fold increase in albumin excretion represents only a two-fold decrease in filtration capacity.
- ribose appears to very rapidly induce manifestations of diabetic nephropathy, as reflected in hypertension, creatinine clearance and albuminuria, even though the latter is not large.
- hyperglycemia is rapidly established in 1-2 days, but clinical manifestations of diabetic nephropathy arise very late, perhaps as much as 40 weeks for albuminuria.
- albuminuria is highly variable from day to day and from animal to animal, although unlike humans, most STZ rats do eventually develop nephropathy.
- pyridoxamine at 25 mg/kg body weight appears to effectively prevent two of the three manifestations usually attributed to diabetes, namely the impairment of creatinine clearance and albumin filtration. It did so as effectively as aminoguanidine.
- the effectiveness of thiamine pyrophosphate was not manifest, but it should be emphasized that this may be due to its use at elevated concentrations of 250 mg/kg body weight. Pyridoxamine would have appeared much less effective if only the results at 250 mg/kg body weight are considered.
- a typical adult human being of average size weighs between 66 - 77 Kg.
- diabetic patients may tend to be overweight and can be over 1 12 Kg.
- a range of doses for administration of pyridoxamine or thiamine pyrophosphate that is predicted to be effective for inhibiting post- Amadori AGE formation and thus inhibiting related pathologies would fall in the range of 1 mg/100 g body weight to 200 mg/100 g body weight.
- the appropriate range when co- administered with aminoguanidine will be similar. Calculated for an average adult of 75 Kg, the range (at 10 mg/1 Kg body weight) can be approximately 750 mg to upwards of 150 g (at 2 g/1 Kg body weight). This will naturally vary according to the particular patient.
- the interrupted glycation method allows for the rapid generation of stable well-defined protein Amadori intermediates from ribose and other pentose sugars for use in in vivo studies.
- Hyperfiltration increased creatinine clearance was transiently seen with rats receiving Amadori-RSA and AGE-RSA, regardless of the presence of PM and AG.
- HSPG heparan sulfate proteoglycans
- pyridoxamine can prevent both diabetic-like glomerular loss of heparan sulfate and glomerular deposition of glycated albumin in SD rats chronically treated with ribose-glycated albumin.

- Rat serum albumin was passed down an Affi-Gel Blue column (Bio-Rad), a heparin- Sepharose CL-6B column (Pharmacia) and an endotoxin-binding affinity column (Detoxigel, Pierce Scientific) to remove any possible contaminants.
- the purified rat serum albumin (RSA) was then dialyzed in 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5). A portion of the RSA (20 mg/ml) was then incubated with 0.5 M ribose for 12 hours at 37°C in the dark.
- the reaction mixture was dialyzed in cold 0J M sodium phosphate buffer over a 36 hour period at 4°C (this dialysis removes not only the free ribose, but also the Schiff-base intermediaries).
- the ribated protein is classified as Amadori-RSA and is negative for antigenic AGEs, as determined by antibodies reactive with AGE protein (as described previously; R618, antigemglucose modified AGE- Rnase).
- the ribated protein is then divided into portions that will be injected either as: a)Amadori-RSA, b)NaBH 4 -reduced Amadori-RSA, c)AGE-RSA.
- the ribated protein to be injected as Amadori-RSA is simply dialyzed against cold PBS at 4°C for 24 hours.
- a portion of the Amadori-RSA in 0J M sodium phosphate is reduced with NaBH 4 to form NaBH 4 -reduced Amadori-RSA.
- aliquots were reduced by adding 5 uL of NaBH 4 stock solution (100 mg/ml in 0J M NaOH) per mg of protein, incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, treated with HCl to discharge excess NaBH 4 , and then dialyzed extensively in cold PBS at 4°C for 36 hours.
- the AGE-RSA was fo ⁇ ried by reincubating the Amadori-RSA in the absence of sugar for 3 days.
- Rats Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Sasco, lOOg) were used. After a 1 week adaptation period, rats were placed in metabolic cages to obtain a 24 hour urine specimen for 2 days before administration of injections. Rats were then divided into experimental and control groups and given tail vein injections with either saline, unmodified RSA (50 mg/kg), Amadori-RSA (50 mg/kg), NaBH 4 -reduced Amadori-RSA (50 mg/kg), or AGE-RSA (50 mg/kg).
- Rats injected with Amadori-RSA and AGE-RSA were then either left untreated, or futher treated by the administration of either aminoguanidine (AG; 25 mg/kg), pyridoxamine (PM; 25 mg/kg), or a combination of AG and PM (10 mg/kg each) through the drinking water.
- Body weight and water intake of the rats were monitored weekly in order to adjust dosages.
- the rats were placed in metabolic cages to obtain 24 hour urine specimen for 2 days prior to sacrificing the animals.

- Albumin in urine was determined by competitive ELISA using rabbit anti-rat serum albumin (Cappell) as primary antibody (1/2000) and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma Chemical) as a secondary antibody (1/2000).
- Urine was tested with Multistix 8 SG (Miles Laboratories) for glucose, ketone, specific gravity, blook, pH, protein, nitrite, and leukocytes. None remarkable was detected other than some protein. Creatinine measurements were performed with a Beckman creatinine analyzer II.
- Blood samples were collected by heart puncture before te ⁇ nination and were used in the determination of creatinine clearance, blood glucose (glucose oxidase, Sigma chemical), fructosamine (nitroblue tetrazolium, Sigma chemical), and glycated Hb (columns, Pierce chemicals).
- Aorta, heart, both kidneys and the rat tail were visually inspected and then quickley removed after perfusing with saline through the right ventricle of the heart.
- One kidney, aorta, rat tail, and the lower 2/3 of the heart were snap-frozen and then permanently stored at -70°C.
- the other kidney was sectioned by removing both ends (cortex) to be snap- frozen, with the remaining portions of the kidney being sectioned into thirds with two portions being placed into neutral buffered formalin and the remaining third minced and placed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde/2% paraforaialdehyde.

- Parrafin-embedded sections were deparaffmized and then blocked with 10%> goat serum in PBS for 30 min at room temperature. The sections were then incubated for 2 hour at 37°C with primary antibody, either affinity purified polyclonal rabbit anti-AGE antibody, or a polyclonal sheep anti-rat serum albumin antibody (Cappell). The sections were then rinsed for 30 min with PBS and incubated with secondary antibody, either affinity purified FITC- goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) double stain grade (Zymed) or a Rhodamine-rabbit anti-sheep IgG (whole) (Cappell) for 1 hour at 37°C.

- Kidney sections were then rinsed for 30 min with PBS in the dark, mounted in aqueous mounting media for immunocytochemistry (Biomeda), and cover slipped. Sections were scored in a blinded fashion. Kidney sections were evaluated by the number and intensity of glomerular staining in 5 regions around the periphery of the kidney. Scores were normalized for the immunofluorescent score per 100 glomeruli with a scoring system of 0-3.
- Immunogen was prepared by glycation of BSA (R479 antibodies) or Rnase (R618 antibodies) at 1.6 g protein in 15 ml for 60 - 90 days using 1.5 M glucose in 0.4 M phosphate containing 0.05% sodium azide at pH 7.4 and 37°C.
- New Zealand white rabbit males of 8-12 weeks were immunized by subcutaneous administration of a 1 ml solution containing 1 mg/ml of glycated protein in Freund's adjuvant. The primary injection used the complete adjuvant and three boosters were made at three week intervals with Freund's incomplete adjuvant. The rabbits were bled three weeks after the last booster. The serum was collected by centrifugation of clotted whole blood.
- the antibodies are AGE-specific, being unreactive with either native proteins or with Amadori interaiediates.
- Engvall (21) The general method of Engvall (21) was used to perform the ELISA. Glycated protein samples were diluted to approximately 1.5 ug/ml in 0J M sodium carbonate buffer of pH 9.5 to 9.1. The protein was coated overnight at room temperature onto a 96-well polystyrene plate by pippetting 200 ul of protein solution into each well (about J ug/well). After coating, the excess protein was washed from the wells with a saline solution containing 0.05% Tween-20. The wells were then blocked with 200 ul of 1% casein in carbonate buffer for 2 hours at 37°C followed by washing.
- Rabbit anti-AGE antibodies were diluted at a titer of 1:350 in incubation buffer and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, followed by washing.
- antibody R618 used to detect glycated RSA was generated by immunization against glycated Rnase.

- the ⁇ »-nitrophenolate being monitored at 410 nm with a Dynatech MR4000 microplate reader.
- Immunofluorescent glomerular staining for RSA showed elevated staining with Amadori-RSA and AGE-RSA injected animals (Figure 35). Significant reduction of this effect was seen in the rats treated with PM, and not with AG or combined AG & PM.
- Immunofluorescent glomerular staining for Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Core protein showed slightly reduced staining with Amadori-RSA and AGE-RSA injected animals but were not statistically significant(Figure 36). A reduction of this effect was seen in the rats treated with PM, and not with AG or combined AG & PM. However, immunofluorescent glomerular staining for Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan side-chain showed highly reduced staining with Amadori-RSA and AGE-RSA injected animals (Figure 37) A significant reduction of this effect was seen in the rats treated with PM, and not with AG or combined AG & PM.
- nephropathy including increased glomerular volume, loss of heparan sulfate, and protein deposition
- RSA independently of the presence of PM or AG.
- a glomerular volume increase was produced by both Amadori-rich and earlyAGE-RSA that was prevented by PM but not AG.
- No significant microalbuminuria developed by 6 weeks, but glomerular histochemical staining revealed albumin deposition in rats treated with early AGE-RSA and with Amadori- rich RSA that was prevented by PM.
- Alcian Blue glomerular staining at pH 1.0 revealed loss of sulfated groups in rats treated with both Amadori-rich and early AGE-albumin. This was identified, using monoclonal Ab JM-403 (van den Born et al., Kidney Int 41 : 1 15-23, 1992), as loss of heparan sulfate proteoglycan side-chains.
- Glycated albumin produces an early diabetic-like nephropathy as reflected in a loss of heparan sulfate, an increase in glomerular volume and an increase in albumin deposition.
- diabetic mammal encompasses both those mammals that are currently diabetic, and those that are glucose intolerant and/or have a pancreatic insufficiency, regardless of their blood sugar level.
- Pyridoxamine in contrast to aminoguanidine, consistently prevented most of these changes. Results suggest that pyridoxamine may have promising therapeutic potential for inhibiting diabetic complications arising from nonenzymatic advanced glycation reactions.
- Rat serum albumin (essentially fatty acid free, fraction V) was purchased from Sigma Chemicals and was further purified before use as follows. It was passed down an Affi-Gel Blue column (Bio-Rad), a heparin-Sepharose CL-6B column (Pha ⁇ nacia) and an endotoxin- binding affinity column (Detoxigel, Pierce) to remove any possible contaminants.

- the purified rat serum albumin (RSA) was dialyzed in 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5). A portion of the RSA (20 mg/ml) was then incubated with 0.5 M ribose for 12 hours at 37°C in the dark, conditions determined to give optimal amounts of Amadori-albumin while producing minimal amounts of ELISA-detectable AGEs. After the 12 hour incubation, the reaction mixture was dialyzed against several changes of 0J M sodium phosphate buffer over a 36 hour period at 4°C in order to remove excess free ribose as well as any ribose condensed in (reversible) Schiff base form with primary amino groups of the protein.
- RSA rat serum albumin
- This ribated protein is defined as "Amadori-RSA” and was simply dialyzed against cold PBS at 4°C for 24 hours prior to injection into rats, and it was verified to be negative for antigenic AGEs as determined by R618 anti-AGE antibodies.
- Amadori-RSA was then used to prepare NaBH 4 -reduced Amadori-RSA that was expected to not be very toxic due to deactivation. This was prepared in 0J M sodium phosphate by adding 5 ⁇ l of NaBH stock solution (100 mg/ml in 0J M NaOH) per mg of protein. It was incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, treated with HCl to discharge excess NaBH 4 , and then dialyzed extensively against cold PBS at 4°C for 36 hours.
- Amadori-RSA went into preparing albumin modified to a limited extent with advanced glycation end product ("early" AGE- RSA).
- This "AGE-RSA” was prepared by re-incubating Amadori-RSA (in the absence of sugar) for only 2-3 days at 37°C, conditions known to lead to near maximal fo ⁇ nation of the AGEs CML and pentosidine, although this "early” AGE-RSA is still capable of degradation to form fluorescent and other "late” AGEs.
- the AGE-modified protein was then dialyzed against cold PBS at 4°C for 24 hours to remove any reactive small products or intemiediates that may have been formed, such as glucosones or glyoxal.
- AGE-RSA were also administered aminoguanidine (25 mg/kg/day), pyridoxamine (25 mg/kg/day), a combination of the two (10 mg/kg/day each), or with nothing added to the drinking water.
- Body weight and water intake of the rat were monitored weekly in order to adjust dosages.
- the rats were placed in metabolic cages for two days to get two 24 hour urine specimens before sacrificing the animals.
- Total protein in urine was determined by Bio-Rad assay.
- Albumin in urine was determined by competitive ELISA using rabbit anti-rat serum albumin (Cappell) as primary antibody (1 :2000) and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma) as a secondary antibody (1 :2000).
- Urine was tested with Multistix 8 SG (Miles) for glucose, ketone, specific gravity, blood, pH, protein, nitrite and leukocytes. Creatinine measurements were performed with a Beckman creatinine analyzer II.
- Intracardiac blood samples were collected before termination and were used in the determination of creatinine clearance, blood glucose (glucose oxidase, Sigma), fructosamine (nitroblue tetrazolium, Sigma), and glycated Hb (Glycotest II analytical boronate columns, Pierce).
- Aorta, heart, both kidneys and the rat tail were visually inspected and then quickly removed after perfusing with saline through the right ventricle of the heart.
- One kidney, aorta, rat tail, and the lower two thirds of the heart were snap-frozen and then permanently stored at -70 °C.
- the other kidney was sectioned by removing both ends (cortex) to be snap- frozen, with the remaining portion being sectioned into thirds with two portions being placed into neutral buffered formalin and the other third minced and placed in 2.5 % glutaraldehyde/ 2 % paraformaldehyde.
- kidney sections were fixed in ice-cold 10% neutral buffered formalin. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections from all rat groups were processed for staining with Harris' alum hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), periodic acid/Schiff reagent (PAS), and Alcian Blue (pH 1.0 and pH 2.5) stains for histological examination in a blinded fashion.
- H&E Harris' alum hematoxylin and eosin
- PAS periodic acid/Schiff reagent

- Electron microscopy Tissues were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde/2% parafornialdehyde (0J M sodium cacodylate, pH 7.4), post-fixed for 1 hour in buffered osmium tetroxide (1.0%), prestained in 0.5% uranyl acetate for 1 hour, and embedded in Effapoxy resin. Ultra-thin sections were examined by a JEOL 100S transmission electron microscope.
- Paraffin-embedded sections were deparaffmized and then blocked with 10% goat serum in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. The sections were then incubated for 2 hours at 37°C with either an affinity purified polyclonal rabbit anti-AGE antibody or with a polyclonal sheep anti-rat serum albumin antibody (Cappell). The sections were then rinsed for 30 minutes with PBS and then incubated with either an affinity purified FITC-goat anti- rabbit IgG (H+L) double stain grade (Zymed) or a Rhodamine-rabbit anti-sheep IgG (whole) (Cappell) for 1 hour at 37°C.
- Heparan sulfate side-chain Monoclonal JM-403 was used that is specific for basement membrane heparan sulfate, and frozen sections were equilibrated with PBS for 20 minutes at room temperature. Sections were incubated with primary antibody (1:250) for 1 hour at room temperature. Antibody dilutions were carried out in PBS containing 1%> bovine serum albumin, 5% rat sera, and 0.05%> sodium azide. Sections were then rinsed for 20 minutes with PBS and then incubated with secondary antibody (1 :50), goat anti-mouse IgM (Fc) FITC (Nordic) for 1 hour.

- Basement membrane heparan sulfate core protein Detem ination was carried out with polyclonal BL-31. Frozen sections were incubated with primary antibody (1:50) for 1.5 hours at room temperature. Sections were then rinsed for 20 minutes and then incubated with secondary antibody (1 :50), goat anti-rabbit IgG FITC (Cappell) for 1 hour. Sections were then rinsed for 20 minutes with PBS in dark, mounted in aqueous mounting media for immunocytochemistry (Biomeda), and cover slipped.
- Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan Determination was with rabbit antibodies.
- Paraffin-embedded sections were deparaffinized and digested for 90 minutes with chondroitinase ABC (proteus vulgaris, Sigma Chemicals) at 0.5 U/ml in 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 containing 0.05 M NaCl. Tissues were blocked with 10% BSA in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Sections were then incubated for 2 hours at 37°C with rabbit anti- chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan IgG (Chemicon) purified from bovine nasal cartilage and diluted 1 :100. Sections were rinsed for 30 minutes with PBS and incubated for 1 hour with 1 :50 diluted secondary antibody (Zymed), an affinity purified FITC-goat anti-rabbit IgG
- the post- column reagent contained 1 mg/ml sodium bisulfite in 1.0 M potassium phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 7.5 with 6 N KOH. Elution following injection was with a linear gradient to 100%) B in 10 minutes; 100%) B for 15 minutes; linear gradient to 100% A in 4.5 minutes. Samples were plasma aliquots (250 ⁇ l) mixed with 10% (w/v) metaphosphoric acid (225 ⁇ l) and 25 ⁇ l deoxypyridoxine as internal standard (30 nm/ml in 5%o metaphosphoric acid).
- the rats in this study were generally healthy and all gained weight during the 6 weeks of experiment, as summarized in Table 2. Blood glucose levels remained normal and there was not significant elevation of fructosamine, as expected from the small amount of glycated albumin (comprising ⁇ 2% of total plasma albumin) being administered daily. Subjective observations mainly revealed tail scabbing and sensitivity in the animals receiving AGE- RSA injections without drug treatments, precluding the study of rat tail collagen for alterations. Although some observations were made on rats exposed to two weeks of treatments, almost all the results reported in this study are for the 6 week duration. The one exception is the creatinine clearance where interesting and significant differences were observed between 2 and 6 week treatments (Table 1).

- AGE-RSA with its four- fold increase (p ⁇ 0.001), is particularly effective in leading to cross-linking of presumably glycated albumin to the glomemlus.
- This cross-linking is completely blocked in the presence of pyridoxamine (p ⁇ 0.01) and partially by the combination of pyridoxamine plus aminoguanidine (p ⁇ 0.05).
- Aminoguanidine at 25 mg/kg/day gave intermediate results but did not lead to statistically significant differences from either the controls or from the untreated subgroup. However, it was less effective (p ⁇ 0.05) when compared to the pyridoxamine treated subgroup.
- pyridoxamine is endogenously present in small concentrations and is convertible to other members of the B6 vitamers via transaminations and other modifications, we measured by HPLC the serum levels of the vitamers after administration of 25 mg/kg/day pyridoxamine in drinking water.
- the results (Fig. 42) are given as ratios of steady state to endogenous levels based on sampling at different times after a 48 hours pre-equilibration. The average of several subsequent samplings was determined by HPLC, as described in Methods. Values and standard errors for each vitamer are given as the percent change relative to its endogenous levels determined in control animals. The insets give the numerical ratios determined. Endogenous levels for these animals were on separate control animals It can be seen that only pyridoxamine is greatly elevated by approximately 300-fold.
- Pyridoxamine also appeared consistently effective in completely preventing the associated glomemlar volume increase and the loss of heparan sulfate that accompany the administration of AGE-RSA. Although the effects of Amadori- RSA did not achieve similar statistical significance for all the subgroups, the trends in inhibition were similar to those seen with AGE-RSA. In all cases, pyridoxamine appears to prevent the changes seen in these parameters, whereas aminoguanidine at a similar dose or the combination of pyridoxamine+aminoguanidine at lower doses were less effective.
- pyridoxamine may have therapeutic potential in other conditions and diseases where oxidative stress may be involved, where oxidative stress is defined as specific increases in reactive oxygen species and derived free radicals.
- conditions and diseases include, but are not limited to atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, cancer, exposure to ionizing radiation and/or chemotherapeutic agents, pulmonary adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocardial infarction and strokes, pancreatitis, or intestinal ulceration, and aging.
- ARDS pulmonary adult respiratory distress syndrome
- Example 7 Pyridoxamine inhibits AGE formation and protein cross-linking in a STZ diabetic rat model
- pyridoxamine inhibits the formation of AGEs and crosslinking of skin collagen in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat.
- Pyridoxamine was compared to aminoguanidine and AGEs were measured by chemical methods.
- Levels of three AGEs, N ⁇ -(carboxymethyl)lysine, N ⁇ -(carboxyethyl)lysine and pentosidine increased ⁇ 2-fold in skin collagen of diabetic, compared to control, rats after 7 months of diabetes, along with a 2-fold increase in Maillard-type fluorescence and a 4-fold increase in the half- time for solubilization of skin collagen by pepsin.

- Glycemic control Glycemic control. Glycemia was monitored by measurement of plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin every four weeks, using a Sigma Trinder assay Kit (Sigma # 315). Blood (non-fasting) was obtained from the tail vein, using heparinized microhematocrit tubes, followed by sedimentation of red blood cells (RBC) in a bench-top microhematocrit centrifuge. A sample of plasma (5 ⁇ L) or glucose standard was mixed with 300 ⁇ L of reagent in a 96-well microtiter plate. The plate was shaken for 18 min and the absorbance at 490 nm was measured in a Wallac Victor 1420 multilabel counter (Wallac Inc. Gaithersburg, MD).
- Glycated hemoglobin (GlcHb) was measured on whole blood by boronate affinity chromatography using a Sigma kit for total glycated hemoglobin (Sigma # 442-B). Measurement of drug levels in plasma and urine. PM and AG concentrations in plasma were measured by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP- HPLC). PM and its B 6 vitamers were assayed as described by Sampson and O'Connor (Nutrition Res. 9:259-272 (1989)) and Sakurai et al. (J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol. 37:341-348 (1991)), using 293/393 nm excitation and emission wavelengths. AG was quantified at 380 nm as the 4-nitrobenzaldehyde conjugate (Beaven et al. 1969. J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therapeutics 165:14-22) .
- Rats were treated according to the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of South Carolina. Blood was drawn from anaesthetized (halothane) rats by heart puncture and transferred into heparinized vacutainer tubes on ice; an aliquot was removed for analysis of glycated hemoglobin. Rats were then killed by over-anesthetization, and liver and kidneys were removed, the kidney decapsulated, and both organs rinsed in PBS buffer, and weighed. The right kidney was cut in half transversely, and one half was removed for fixation for electron and light microscopy. The remainder of the right kidney and the whole left kidney were frozen at -70°C until processed for isolation of collagen.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- the insoluble fraction of skin collagen was prepared by scraping the skin with a single-edged razor blade to remove hair and adventitious tissue, followed by a series of extractions with 0.5 M NaCl, 0.5 M acetic acid and chloroform/methanol (2:1 v/v), as described previously (Dyer, et al. 1993. J. Clin. Invest. 91:2463-2469).
- Total renal collagen was prepared from ⁇ 1.5 kidneys by an adaptation of the procedure of Fox et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 256:9313-9315 (1981)).
- kidneys were minced and homogenized with a hand-held glass homogenizer in 10 mL of ice-cold water, containing 1 mM EDTA and 0.05%> sodium azide. Remaining intact cells and subcellular organelles were then lysed by addition of another 15 mL of water, followed by incubation for 1 hour at 4°C, then centrifugation of the lysate for 30 minutes at 10,000 rpm at 4°C in a Beckman (Palo Alto, CA) J-21 centrifuge. The pellet was resuspended in 10 mL of 3% Triton X-100 containing 0.05 %> sodium azide and stirred periodically for 2 hours at room temperature.
- the pellet was resuspended in 10 mL of 1 M sodium chloride containing 500 Kunitz units of DNase for 1 hour at room temperature. After centrifugation, the pellet was treated with a second detergent, 10 mL of a 4%> solution of sodium deoxycholate / 0.05%> sodium azide for 3 hours at room temperature, centrifuged and then washed by centrifugation three times with water. The collagen was lyophilized and stored at -20°C until analyzed. Hydroxyproline was measured in acid hydrolysates of collagen by the method of Stegemann and Stalder (Clin. Chim. Acta 18:267-273 (1967)).
- Fractoselysine (FL), a measure of the extent of glycation of collagen, and the AGEs, N ⁇ - (carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and N ⁇ -(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) were assayed by isotope dilution, selected ion monitoring gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (SIM-GC/MS), and pentosidine by RP-HPLC, as described previously (Dyer, et al. 1993. J. Clin. Invest. 91:2463-2469).
- Metabolic control Acute, intermediate and long term measures of glycemic control were obtained by monthly measurements of plasma glucose (Fig. 44A) and glycated hemoglobin (Fig. 44B), and by measurement of glycated skin collagen (Fig. 44C) at the end of the experiment.
- Mean plasma glucose levels in both groups of control animals were -5 mM for the duration of the study. In the diabetic groups, mean plasma glucose levels increased rapidly to -21 mM and stayed at that level during the first 8 weeks of the study. During the next several weeks, mean plasma glucose levels rose gradually to nearly 30 mM in the diabetic groups.
- the insulin dose was adjusted from 3 to 5 IU every other day in all diabetic groups, such that plasma glucose levels were -26 mM or 5-fold higher than the non-diabetic animals throughout the remainder of the study. There was no statistical difference in mean plasma glucose or urinary glucose (not shown) among any of the diabetic groups.
- the mean concentration of FL in diabetic animals (23.8 ⁇ 3.4 mmol/mol lysine) was 4.8-fold higher than FL values in either non-diabetic group (5.0 ⁇ 1.6 mmol/mol lysine), compared to a 5- fold increase in mean plasma glucose and 2.5-fold increase in GlcHb in the diabetic animals, as measured by boronate affinity chromatography.
- measurement of FL in collagen provided a more sensitive and accurate index of the long-term increase in glycemia, than did GlcHb.
- PM is a post-Amadori inhibitor in vitro (see above), i.e.
- Plasma concentrations of PM, vitamin B 6 metabolites and AG were measured at selected time points during the study. In non-diabetic animals, plasma PM concentration rose to - 6 ⁇ M during the first week of the study and remained at that level thereafter.
- mean plasma PM and AG concentrations measured at 28 weeks were 106 ⁇ 17 ⁇ M and 87 + 10 ⁇ M, respectively (p ⁇ 0.01), compared to approximately 5 mM concentrations in drinking water (as prepared) and urine of diabetic animals (not shown). Although the molar concentration of PM was approximately 60% that of AG in the drinking water (both were administered at 1 g of the salt form/L), the mean concentration of PM in plasma was approximately 20% greater than that of AG.
- Urinary PM measured at 23 weeks, was 824 ⁇ 44 ⁇ mol/day, while PM intake, estimated from water consumption, was 801 ⁇ 22 ⁇ mol/day, indicating that the majority of PM was recovered unchanged in the urine.
- Table 4 Isoforms and metabolites of vitamin B ⁇ in plasma at week 21 A
- both dmgs decreased CEL up to 50% toward levels in non-diabetic control animals (Fig. 45B).
- the decreases in both CML and CEL were statistically significant in drag treated animals compared to untreated diabetic rats (Fig. 45, legend).
- the fluorescent AGE cross-link, pentosidine also increased approximately 2-fold, from 0.58 ⁇ 0J0 ⁇ mol/mol Lys in control to IJ ⁇ 0J6 ⁇ mol/mol Lys in diabetic rats (Fig. 45C).
- pentosidine concentrations were similar in all diabetic groups, i.e. neither drag had a statistically significant effect on the pentosidine content of skin collagen.
- Pepsin digestibility and fluorescence of skin collagen In addition to increased AGE content, collagen from diabetic animals typically shows a decrease in susceptibility to enzymatic digestion (Hamlin, et al. 1975. Diabetes 24:902-924).
- the kinetics of pepsin digestion of skin collagen from the various experimental groups are shown in Fig. 46A. In non-diabetic animals these kinetics were complex, with a burst of Hyp-containing peptides released during the first hour, followed by somewhat slower rates of digestion thereafter.
- collagen from diabetic animals was digested in a more linear fashion, and at a slower rate throughout the 24-hour experiment.
- a CML and CEL were determined by GC/MS and pentosidine by RP-HPLC, as described in Materials and Methods.
- D p 0.07 vs. untreated diabetic group
- the concentrations of CML and CEL in skin collagen, and of CML in skm and RBM collagen, were strongly correlated with one another (Fig. 47A and 47B).
- the correlation between CML and CEL in skm collagen m all groups and the effect of diabetes and drag treatment on AGE concentration is evident in Fig.
- Table 6 Relationships among AGEs in skin and kidney collagen.
- pentosidine is derived exclusively from carbohydrates, the increase in pentosidine establishes that carbohydrates contribute to the increase in chemical modification of proteins in the diabetic rat.
- pentosidine is more difficult to inhibit the formation of pentosidine, compared to CML, from glucose (Dyer, et al. 1991. J. Biol. Chem. 266:11654-1 1660) and pentoses (Litchfield, et al. 1999. Int. J. Biochem. & Cell Biol. In press).
- pentosidine formation might be inhibited only at higher doses of AGE inhibitors.
- AGEs in kidney collagen Based on comparison of data in Fig. 45 and Table 5, basal levels of CML, CEL and pentosidine were about 2-fold higher in renal collagen, compared to skin collagen. These biomarkers increased in concert with the increase in AGEs in skin collagen of diabetic vs. control animals, confirming an assumption in previous studies that changes in skin collagen reflect systemic changes in collagen in other tissues (Dyer, et al. 1993. . Clin. Invest. 91 :2463-2469; McCance et al. 1993. J. Clin. Invest . 91 J460-J478). As shown in Fig. 47 and Table 6, levels of these biomarkers in skin and renal collagen also correlated well with one another.
