Amine Oxidase Copper-Containing 3 (AOC3) Inhibition: a Potential Novel Boyer et al. Int J Retin Vitr (2021) 7:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40942-021-00288-7 International Journal of Retina and Vitreous REVIEW Open Access Amine oxidase copper-containing 3 (AOC3) inhibition: a potential novel target for the management of diabetic retinopathy David S. Boyer1, Joerg F. Rippmann2, Michael S. Ehrlich3, Remko A. Bakker2, Victor Chong4 and Quan Dong Nguyen5* Abstract Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular complication of diabetes, is the leading cause of visual impairment in people aged 20–65 years and can go undetected until vision is irreversibly lost. There is a need for treatments for non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) which, in comparison with current intravitreal (IVT) injec- tions, ofer an improved risk–beneft ratio and are suitable for the treatment of early stages of disease, during which there is no major visual impairment. Efcacious systemic therapy for NPDR, including oral treatment, would be an important and convenient therapeutic approach for patients and physicians and would reduce treatment burden. In this article, we review the rationale for the investigation of amine oxidase copper-containing 3 (AOC3), also known as semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and vascular adhesion protein 1 (VAP1), as a novel target for the early treat- ment of moderate to severe NPDR. AOC3 is a membrane-bound adhesion protein that facilitates the binding of leuko- cytes to the retinal endothelium. Adherent leukocytes reduce blood fow and in turn rupture blood vessels, leading to ischemia and edema. AOC3 inhibition reduces leukocyte recruitment and is predicted to decrease the production of reactive oxygen species, thereby correcting the underlying hypoxia, ischemia, and edema seen in DR, as well as improving vascular function. Conclusion: There is substantial unmet need for convenient, non-invasive treatments targeting moderately severe and severe NPDR to reduce progression and preserve vision. The existing pharmacotherapies (IVT corticosteroids and IVT anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-A) target infammation and angiogenesis, respectively. Unlike these treatments, AOC3 inhibition is predicted to address the underlying hypoxia and ischemia seen in DR. AOC3 inhibitors represent a promising therapeutic strategy for treating patients with DR and could ofer greater choice and reduce treatment burden, with the potential to improve patient compliance.

Incubating 8 recombinant AOC3 with IEX fractions lacking ZAG (Fig. 4, B) increased amine oxidase 9 activity, which might be due to plasma-derived AOC3 activity or other plasma components. 10 To test this hypothesis, the amine oxidase activity in plasma of wt, AOC3 k.o. and ZAG k.o. 11 mice was measured directly using radioactive benzylamine as substrate. The activity linearly 12 increased with measured plasma volume of wt and ZAG k.o. mice, and the activity could be 13 blocked by the highly selective AOC3 inhibitor LJP1586 (Supplemental Fig. 1, A and B). 14 However, AOC3 activity in AOC3 k.o. plasma does not increase with increasing plasma 15 volume and residual activity cannot be further significantly reduced by adding LJP1586 16 (Supplemental Fig. 1, C). This suggests that AOC3 is the main plasma enzyme responsible for 17 benzylamine deamination, but it does not exclude other amine oxidases that are not sensitive 18 to LJP1586 or that have a higher affinity for other substrates. One such category of enzymes 19 could be the lysyl oxidases, which are also members of the copper amine oxidase family.

Received: 6 April 2012; in revised form: 22 April 2012 / Accepted: 26 April 2012 / Published: 3 May 2012 Abstract: Copper amine oxidases (CAOs) are a ubiquitous group of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of primary amines to aldehydes coupled to the reduction of O2 to H2O2. These enzymes utilize a wide range of substrates from methylamine to polypeptides. Changes in CAO activity are correlated with a variety of human diseases, including diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer’s disease, and inflammatory disorders. CAOs contain a cofactor, 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone (TPQ), that is required for catalytic activity and synthesized through the post-translational modification of a tyrosine residue within the CAO polypeptide. TPQ generation is a self-processing event only requiring the addition of oxygen and Cu(II) to the apoCAO. Thus, the CAO active site supports two very different reactions: TPQ synthesis, and the two electron oxidation of primary amines. Crystal structures are available from bacterial through to human sources, and have given insight into substrate preference, stereospecificity, and structural changes during biogenesis and catalysis.

  • Effects of an Anti-Inflammatory VAP-1/SSAO Inhibitor, PXS-4728A
    Schilter et al. Respiratory Research (2015) 16:42 DOI 10.1186/s12931-015-0200-z RESEARCH Open Access Effects of an anti-inflammatory VAP-1/SSAO inhibitor, PXS-4728A, on pulmonary neutrophil migration Heidi C Schilter1*†, Adam Collison2†, Remo C Russo3,4†, Jonathan S Foot1, Tin T Yow1, Angelica T Vieira4, Livia D Tavares4, Joerg Mattes2, Mauro M Teixeira4 and Wolfgang Jarolimek1,5 Abstract Background and purpose: The persistent influx of neutrophils into the lung and subsequent tissue damage are characteristics of COPD, cystic fibrosis and acute lung inflammation. VAP-1/SSAO is an endothelial bound adhesion molecule with amine oxidase activity that is reported to be involved in neutrophil egress from the microvasculature during inflammation. This study explored the role of VAP-1/SSAO in neutrophilic lung mediated diseases and examined the therapeutic potential of the selective inhibitor PXS-4728A. Methods: Mice treated with PXS-4728A underwent intra-vital microscopy visualization of the cremaster muscle upon CXCL1/KC stimulation. LPS inflammation, Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, cecal ligation and puncture as well as rhinovirus exacerbated asthma models were also assessed using PXS-4728A. Results: Selective VAP-1/SSAO inhibition by PXS-4728A diminished leukocyte rolling and adherence induced by CXCL1/KC. Inhibition of VAP-1/SSAO also dampened the migration of neutrophils to the lungs in response to LPS, Klebsiella pneumoniae lung infection and CLP induced sepsis; whilst still allowing for normal neutrophil defense function, resulting in increased survival. The functional effects of this inhibition were demonstrated in the RV exacerbated asthma model, with a reduction in cellular infiltrate correlating with a reduction in airways hyperractivity.

    ! " # $% &'((% ()*+,- .-. (,/'*,-.-, 0.1,'(, 00.1. 2332 Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Faculty of Medicine) in Medical Pharmacology presented at Uppsala University in 2002 ABSTRACT Nordquist, J. 2002. Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and vascular complications in diabetes mellitus. Biochemical and molecular aspects. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1174. 51 pp. Uppsala ISBN 91-554-5375-9. Plasma activity of the enzyme semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO; EC.1.4.3.6) has been reported to be high in disorders such as diabetes mellitus, chronic congestive heart failure and liver cirrhosis. Little is known of how the activity is regulated and, consequently, the cause for these findings is not well understood. Due to the early occurrence of increased enzyme activity in diabetes, in conjunction with the production of highly cytotoxic substances in SSAO-catalysed reactions, it has been speculated that there could be a causal relationship between high SSAO activity and vascular damage. Aminoacetone and methylamine are the best currently known endogenous substrates for human SSAO and the resulting aldehyde- products are methylglyoxal and formaldehyde, respectively. Both of these aldehydes have been shown to be implicated in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This thesis is based on studies exploring the regulation of SSAO activity and its possible involvement in the development of vascular damage. The results further strengthen the connection between high SSAO activity and the occurrence of vascular damage, since type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy were found to have higher plasma activities of SSAO and lower urinary concentrations of methylamine than patients with uncomplicated diabetes.
