N epsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) has been identified as a product of oxidation of glucose adducts to protein in vitro and has been detected in human tissue proteins and urine [Ahmed, M. U., Thorpe, S. R., & Baynes, J. W. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4889-4894; Dunn, J. A., Patrick, J. S., Thorpe, S. R., & Baynes, J. W. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 9464-9468]. In the present study we show that CML is also formed in reactions between ascorbate and lysine residues in model compounds and protein in vitro. The formation of CML from ascorbate and lysine proceeds spontaneously at physiological pH and temperature under air. Kinetic studies indicate that oxidation of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbate is required. Threose and N epsilon-threuloselysine, the Amadori adduct of threose to lysine, were identified in the ascorbate reaction mixtures, suggesting that CML was formed by oxidative cleavage of N epsilon-threuloselysine. Support for this mechanism was obtained by identifying CML as a product of reaction between threose and lysine and by analysis of the relative rates of formation of threuloselysine and CML in reactions of ascorbate or threose with lysine. The detection of CML as a product of reaction of ascorbate and threose with lysine suggests that other sugars, in addition to glucose, may be sources of CML in proteins in vivo. The proposed mechanism for formation of CML from ascorbate is an example of autoxidative glycosylation of protein and suggests that CML may also be an indicator of autoxidative glycosylation of proteins in vivo.

For simultaneous demonstration of cellular ultrastructure, myeloperoxidase activity, and presence of a membrane-bound antigen in a given blood cell, we examined three different fixatives: periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde (PLP) and paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde for their applicability to preembedding electron microscopic immunocytochemistry using monoclonal antibodies and the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) technique. This procedure was examined in samples from 3 normal volunteers and 29 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), lymphosarcoma cell leukemia (LSCL), blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML-BC), or other unclassified leukemias. PLP fixation preserved the immunoreactivity of surface glycoproteins as well as immunoglobulins to the most satisfactory extent. Leukemic cells fixed with PLP maintained their fine structural details, so that we could identify their cytoplasmic organelles, although glutaraldehyde produced the best preservation of cellular ultrastructure. In three patients with ALL, our method revealed that a significant portion of blasts possessed both lymphoid surface antigens and peroxidase-positive cytoplasmic granules. Our method was also useful in identifying the lineage of peroxidase-negative leukemic cells, including monoblastic leukemia and megakaryoblastic leukemia cells. Ultraimmunocytochemistry using PLP fixation and the ABC technique may be a promising strategy for determining the nature of blastic cells that remain unclear after a conventional work-up, for characterizing leukemic cells in patients with a relatively low blast cell count in the bone marrow or peripheral blood, and for estimating the presence and frequency of leukemia with multilineage expression.

N epsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) has been identified as a product of oxidation of fructoselysine (FL) in glycated (nonenzymatically glycosylated) proteins in vitro and has also been detected in human tissues and urine [Ahmed et al. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4889-4894]. In this study, we compare the amounts of CML and FL in normal human lens proteins, aged 0-79 years, using specific and sensitive assays based on selected ion monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Our results indicate that the lens content of FL increases significantly between infancy and about age 5 but that there is only a slight, statistically insignificant increase in FL between age 5 and 80 (mean +/- SD = 1.4 +/- 0.4 mmol of FL/mol of Lys). In contrast, the lens content of the oxidation product, CML, increased linearly with age, ranging from trace levels at infancy up to 8 mmol of CML/mol of lysine at age 79. The ratio of CML to FL also increased linearly from 0.5 to 5 mol of CML/mol of FL between age 1 and 79, respectively. These results indicate that CML, rather than FL, is the major product of glycation detectable in adult human lens protein. The age-dependent accumulation of CML in lens protein indicates that products of both glycation and oxidation accumulate in the lens with age, while the constant rate of accumulation of CML in lens with age argues against an age-dependent decline in free radical defense mechanisms in this tissue.

The usefulness of optimized and newly elaborated histochemical methods for proteinases is illustrated on two selected substances. DAP IV (Gly-Pro-MNA,FBB,pH 7.2) was discovered in 39% and DAP II (Lys-Ala-MNA,FBB,pH 5.5) in 60% of the lymphocytes of human peripheral blood (ly). The reaction product of such ly differs in quality and quantity. On the ultrastructural level, the reaction product of DAP IV (Gly-Pro-MNA,HNF) was found in cell membranes and lysosomes. Enzyme activity in other areas was probably suppressed during the preparation procedure. Although the number of ly revealed with Lys-Pro-MNA and Phe-Pro-MNA at pH 5.5 and with Lys-Pro-MNA at pH 7.2 is high, these substrates do not distinctly discriminate DAP IV and DAP II. DAP IV occurs exclusively in T lymphocytes. The number of DAP IV-positive ly was not decreased in patients with myelofibrosis, plasmacytoma, chronic granulocytic leukemia, or tricholeukemia. It was, however, greatly reduced in chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). In patients with malignant lymphomas other than CLL, ly presence is related to the stage of the disease. Decreased values indicate a more severe stage or a relapse. In the majority of patients with gastric cancer DAP IV-positive ly were decreased. They were normal or increased in patients with peptic ulcer. The assessment of the number of DAP IV-positive ly is a simple method that provides information regarding the condition of patients with malignant lymphomas and gastric carcinoma. Neutrophilic leukocytes and their precursors, and to a lesser extent monocytes, are revealed when N-acetyl-Met-I-naphthyl ester (Ac-Met-N) is used as substrate. Membrane-bound lysosomal and cytosol proteinases were investigated together with disaccharidases in jejunal biopsies of patients with malabsorption syndrome. Activities of all enzymes were affected in patients with celiac disease. According to their impairment enzymes could be arranged: Lactase(L). trehalase (T), brush border endopeptidase (BBEP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), DAP IV, enzyme(s) cleaving Ac-Mer-N, aminopeptidase A, cytosol peptidases and aminopeptidase M. In the propria, DAP IV is decreased or absent, while GGT and, particularly, DAP II are increased. After a gluten-free diet, activities are restored in a reverse order. BBEP and GGT are useful as auxiliary parameters in the assessment of the damage or differentiation degree of enterocytes. DAP IV is a sensitive indicator of the involvement of the propria.

Glycoxidation products (GOPs), such as N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and pentosidine, are formed during reaction of glucose with protein under oxidative conditions in vitro. It is uncertain whether these GOPs are derived from oxidation of Amadori adducts on protein or from oxidation of glucose or intermediates formed prior to the Amadori rearrangement. To address this question, we reacted collagen with 250 mM glucose in 200 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, under antioxidative conditions, yielding a protein rich in Amadori adducts, but with only traces of GOPs. This "preglycated" collagen was then exposed to [13C6]glucose under oxidative conditions, producing both natural and [13C2]-CML. At 200 mM phosphate buffer, [13C2]-CML was the major product, even at low (5 mM) [13C6]glucose concentration, indicating a limited role for Amadori compounds in formation of CML in high phosphate. The relative yields of natural and [13C2]-CML varied with phosphate concentration, becoming similar at more physiological (10 mM) phosphate. We conclude that during glycation of proteins at high phosphate concentrations in vitro, GOPs are formed primarily by oxidation of free glucose or rapidly-formed intermediates preceding the Amadori rearrangement, such as carbinolamine or Schiff base adducts. In contrast, at lower phosphate and glucose concentrations in vivo, the Amadori adduct may be the more significant precursor of GOPs. The fact that glycoxidation reactions proceed by multiple routes must be considered in the development of therapeutic approaches for inhibiting the Maillard reaction in diabetes.

Nonenzymatic glycation of body proteins and subsequent advanced glycation reactions have been implicated in the aging process, while caloric restriction (CR) in rodents results in an increase in both mean and maximum life span. We have evaluated the effect of chronic (25 months) CR on glycation of blood proteins and accumulation of advanced glycation and oxidation (glycoxidation) products, N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), and pentosidine, in skin collagen. Brown-Norway rats, fed ad libitum (AL) from birth, were divided into two equal groups at 4 months of age and placed on AL or CR diets (CR = 60% of AL diet). Cohorts of animals were sacrificed at 7, 13, and 25 months after the initiation of CR. At necropsy glycated hemoglobin was measured by affinity HPLC and glycated plasma protein by the fructosamine assay; extracts of skin collagen were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for CML and by reversed-phase HPLC for pentosidine. Glycation of hemoglobin, plasma proteins, and skin collagen was decreased significantly (18-33%) by CR. Concentrations of CML and pentosidine increased significantly with age in skin collagen in both AL and CR animals; however, CR significantly reduced levels of CML (25%), pentosidine (50%), and fluorescence (15%) in collagen in the oldest rats. We conclude that CR reduces the extent of glycation of blood and tissue proteins and the age-related accumulation of glycoxidation products in skin collagen.

In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) the proto-oncogene c-abl from chromosome 9 q34 is translocated to the breakpoint cluster region (bcr) gene on chromosome 22 q11. This translocation results in a BCR-ABL fusion gene, which encodes chimeric fusion oncoproteins p210BCR-ABL. Here we demonstrate that a peptide with joining region sequence ATGFKQSSKALQRPVAS (eight amino acids (aa) encoded by BCR exon 3; one novel lysine, encoded by the fusion codon; eight aa encoded by ABL exon 2) is immunogenic to human T cells. Primary immune response induction with this peptide resulted in a HLA DR2(DRB1*1501) restricted CD4+ BCR-ABL peptide specific T cell line P1. Responses of P1 were negatively affected by individual aa replacement by alanine at eight aa positions within the 17mer peptide (F4, K5, Q6, K9, L11, Q12, R13, P14). These findings were supported by experiments with a panel of overlapping 11mer b3a2 peptides. Only two of these peptides with an aa sequence encompassing all residues which could not be replaced by alanine induced P1 proliferation. Since presentation of cytosolic oncoproteins as peptides by DR molecules has been observed, the present findings provide a possible explanation for post interferon-alpha persisting remissions in spite of the presence of BCR-ABL PCR positive progenitors.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and glycoxidation products are formed during Maillard or browning reactions between sugars and proteins and are implicated in the pathophysiology of aging and the complications of diabetes. To determine the structure of AGEs, antibodies were prepared to protein browned by incubation with glucose and used in ELISA assays to measure AGEs formed in model reactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) or N alpha-acetyllysine and glucose, fructose, or glyoxal. AGEs were formed from glucose and fructose only under oxidative conditions, but from glyoxal under both oxidative and antioxidative conditions. Gel permeation chromatographic analysis indicated that a similar AGE was formed in reactions of N alpha-acetyllysine with glucose, fructose, and glyoxal and that this AGE co-eluted with authentic N alpha-acetyl-N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine. Amino acid analysis of AGE proteins revealed a significant content of N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML). In ELISA assays using polyclonal antibodies against AGE proteins, CML-BSA (approximately 25 mol of CML/mol of BSA), prepared by chemical modification of BSA, was a potent inhibitor of the recognition of AGE proteins and of AGEs in human lens proteins. We conclude that AGEs are largely glycoxidation products and that CML is a major AGE recognized in tissue proteins by polyclonal antibodies to AGE proteins.

The role of glyoxal and glycolaldehyde in protein cross-linking and N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) formation during Maillard reaction under physiological conditions was investigated. Incubation of bovine serum albumin with these reagents lead to rapid formation of C-2-imine cross-links and CML. Initial CML formation rate from glyoxal was not dependent on oxidation, suggesting an intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction. CML formation from glucose/lysine or Amadori product of both was strongly dependent on oxidation. Blocking of Amadori product by boric acid totally suppressed CML formation from Amadori product, but only by 37% in the glucose/lysine system. Trapping of glyoxal with aminoguanidine hardly suppressed CML formation from Amadori product, whereas it blocked 50% of CML production in the glucose/lysine system. While these results would support a significant role for glucose autoxidation in CML formation, the addition of lysine to a glucose/aminoguanidine incubation system catalyzed glyoxal-triazine formation 7-fold, thereby strongly suggesting that glucose autoxidation is not a factor for glyoxal-mediated CML formation. Based on these results, it can be estimated that approximately 50% of the CML forming in a glucose/lysine system originates from oxidation of Amadori product, and 40-50% originates from a pre-Amadori stage largely independent from glucose autoxidation. This step may be related to the so-called Namiki pathway of the Maillard reaction.

Pharmacologic and molecular evidence conflicts in regard to the existence of tissue-specific subtypes of thromboxane A2 receptors (TXR). The full length TXR complementary DNA (cDNA) was cloned from a platelet-like cell line. It was expressed and its pharmacology was characterized. Northern analysis of TXR transcripts in multiple tissues showed strong hybridization to K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia messenger RNA. Therefore, a K562 cDNA library was screened and a full-length TXR cDNA (K562TXR) was isolated. K562TXR encodes a protein identical to the previously characterized placenta TXR cDNA, except for a single amino acid substitution (Glu21-->Lys). Similar to thromboxane receptors on K562 cells, K562TXR transiently expressed in HEK 293 cells (K562TXR/293) bound the thromboxane agonist 125I-labeled [1S-(1 alpha,2 beta(5Z),3 alpha-(1E,3S),4 alpha]-7-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-(p- iodophenoxy)-1-butenyl)-7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2-yl]-5- heptenoic acid ([125I]BOP) with a Kd of 5.5 +/- 1.1 nM, a Bmax of 289,056 +/- 60,220 sites/cell and a Hill coefficient of -0.94 +/- 0.01 (n = 6). K562TXR/293 cells also demonstrated concentration-dependent increases in intracellular calcium in response to the thromboxane agonist (15S-hydroxy-11 alpha,9 alpha(epoxymethano)-prosta-5Z,13E-dienoic acid. In contrast to the single [125I]BOP binding site observed in K562TXR/293, [125I]BOP binding to placental membranes resulted in a Hill coefficient significantly less than unity with a statistically superior two-site model for binding [KdH 0.63 +/- 0.18 nM and KdL of 12.5 +/- 5.0 nM, with Bmaxs of 29 +/- 9 and 212 +/- 41 fmol/mg of protein, respectively (n = 7)].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
