physiological role for amine oxidase,copper containing-3 (AOC3) in adipocytes by Sam Hsien-i Shen Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor Judith P. Klinman, Chair In search of a physiological role for amine oxidase,copper containing-3 (AOC3) in adipocytes The function of adipocytes was initially thought to be fat storage, thermal insulation, and organ protection. With the discovery of adipokine, cytokine, and chemokine production by adipocytes, they are now considered to have endocrine function with a major role in homeostasis and energy balance. Amine oxidase, copper containing 3 (AOC3) is a major ectoenzyme expressed by adipocytes and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of amines to produce hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, and aldehyde. The physiological function of AOC3 in adipocytes and its endogenous substrate(s) are currently unknown. First, a signaling role for the hydrogen peroxide product was investigated. Using an intracellular probe specific for H2O2, it was found that the plasma membrane of adipocytes is permeable to H2O2 introduced exogenously. However, it was not possible to detect an increase in intracellular H2O2 even after long incubation times with AOC3 substrates. Adipocytes were found to produce extracellular H2O2 at an approximate rate of 0.078 uM/min/well upon incubation with AOC3 substrate from whole cell kinetic studies. Due to this slow rate of H2O2 production, the probe may not be sensitive enough to show an increase in intracellular H2O2 originating from AOC3 turnover. Adipocytes may have an immune function, with possible involvement in chemokine production. Using chemotaxis assays, the migration of RAW264.7 macrophages was found to be independent of media components released by adipocytes

    1 Supplemental Fig. 1 and 2 of “ZINC-α2-GLYCOPROTEIN IS AN INHIBITOR OF AMINE 2 OXIDASE COPPER-CONTAINING 3”, Matthias Romauch 3 Plasma enhances AOC3 activity 4 Endogenous plasma amine oxidase activity has previously been described in both human and 5 mouse plasma [1–3]. This activity derives from membrane-bound AOC3 which has been 6 released by metalloprotease activity [4]. A pronounced increase in levels of cleaved AOC3 is 7 observed during diabetes, congestive heart failure and liver cirrhosis [5–7]. 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.

Cunningham3, Hossen Teimoorinia4, Anuradha Surendra1, Xiaobei Pan5, Stefany A. L. Bennett2,6, Mijin Jung5, Bernadette McGuiness3, Anthony Peter Passmore3, David Beverland7 & Brian D. Green5* Delirium is an acute change in attention and cognition occurring in ~ 65% of severe SARS‑CoV‑2 cases. It is also common following surgery and an indicator of brain vulnerability and risk for the development of dementia. In this work we analyzed the underlying role of metabolism in delirium‑ susceptibility in the postoperative setting using metabolomic profling of cerebrospinal fuid and blood taken from the same patients prior to planned orthopaedic surgery. Distance correlation analysis and Random Forest (RF) feature selection were used to determine changes in metabolic networks. We found signifcant concentration diferences in several amino acids, acylcarnitines and polyamines linking delirium‑prone patients to known factors in Alzheimer’s disease such as monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) protein. Subsequent computational structural comparison between MAOB and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 as well as protein–protein docking analysis showed that there potentially is strong binding of SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein to MAOB. The possibility that SARS‑CoV‑2 infuences MAOB activity leading to the observed neurological and platelet‑based complications of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection requires further investigation. COVID-19 is an ongoing major global health emergency caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coro- navirus SARS-CoV-2. Patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 show a range of features including fever, anosmia, acute respiratory failure, kidney failure and gastrointestinal issues and the death rate of infected patients is estimated at 2.2%1.

Wilmot * Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics, University of Minnesota, 321 Church St. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-612-624-2406; Fax: +1-612-624-5121. 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.

  • Semicarbazide-Sensitive Amine Oxidase and Vascular Complications in Diabetes Mellitus
    ! " # $% &'((% ()*+,- .-. (,/'*,-.-, 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.

We developed a program, tium andprivate company Celera Genomics has Alternative Splicing Assembler (ASA), to lookfor splicing brought us is the prediction that there are about variants of human gene transcripts by genome-wide ESTs 30 000–40 000 gene transcripts in human beings (Lander alignment. Using ASA, we constructed the biosino et al., 2001; Venter et al., 2001), although only 60% of alternative splicing database (BASD), which predicted these genes were consistent in different data sources splicing variants for reference sequences from the (Hogenesch et al., 2001).
