Book Tandem Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Protein and Peptide Adducts of Lipid Peroxidation derived Aldehydes

Download or read book Tandem Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Protein and Peptide Adducts of Lipid Peroxidation derived Aldehydes written by Jianyong Wu and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adduction of proteins and other biomolecules by electrophilic lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE), malondialdehyde (MDA) or acrolein (ACR) is thought to be an initiating and/or propagating factor in the pathophysiology of several diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other age-related disorders. The identification of protein sites modified by oxylipids is of key relevance for advancing our understanding how oxidative damage affects structure and function of proteins. Here, the use of MALDI tandem mass spectrometry with high energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) on a TOF/TOF instrument for sequencing oxylipid-peptide conjugates was systematically studied. Three synthesized model peptides containing one nucleophilic residue (i.e. Cys, His or Lys) were reacted with MDA, HNE, ONE and ACR. MALDI-MS analysis and MS/MS analysis were performed to confirm the adduct type and the modification sites. Michael adducts and Schiff bases were the predominant products under pH 7.4 within 2 hours. All MS/MS spectra of Michael adducts show the neutral loss of the oxylipid moiety ions. MS/MS spectra of Cys-containing peptide oxylipid conjugates exhibit additional characteristic neutral loss of HS-oxylipid moiety ions. MS/MS spectra of His-containing peptide oxylipid conjugates show characteristic oxylipid-containing His immonium ions. Spectra of Lys-containing peptide oxylipid conjugates (Schiff base) also show oxylipid-containing Lys immonium ions. However, there is no neutral loss of the oxylipid moiety ion for these Schiff bases. Determining the extent or relative amounts of the oxidative damage in cells could provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of the diseases caused by oxidative stress. Relative quantitation of oxylipid-modified proteins in biological samples is a challenging problem because of the complexity and extreme dynamic range that characterize these samples. In this study, the reagents, N'-aminooxymethylcarbonylhydrazino-D-biotin (ARP) and iodoacetyl-PEO2- biotin (IPB), were used to enrich acrolein-modified Cys-containing peptides and the corresponding unmodified ones from subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM). The ratios between them were determined by nanoLC-SRM analysis. Model Cys-containing peptides labeled with ARP-acrolein and IPB were employed to demonstrate this method. Seven acrolein-modifed Cys-containing peptides from five mitochondrial proteins were quantified. The ratios for those seven peptides from the CCl4-treated rats are higher than the control ones indicating that the ratios of acrolein-modified peptides to unmodified ones are potential markers of oxidative stress in vivo. Age-dependent changes of protein carbonyls were investigated in subsarcolemmal mitochondria by using LC-SRM analysis of distinct ACR-modified Cys-containing peptides. Immunochemical analysis using an anti-ACR monoclonal antibody supported an increase of proteins modified by acrolein with age. However, total protein carbonyls measurement using ARP in Western blot analysis did not conform to this change suggesting that age-related changes in protein carbonyls are complex and would benefit from more specific measurement protocols.

Book Mass Spectrometry based Identification and Characterization of Protein and Peptide Adducts of Lipoxidation derived Aldehydes

Download or read book Mass Spectrometry based Identification and Characterization of Protein and Peptide Adducts of Lipoxidation derived Aldehydes written by Juan D. Chavez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidative stress is recognized as an important underlying factor in the pathogenesis of many degenerative diseases as well as normal senescence. The free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and electrophiles produced during oxidative stress are capable of modifying nucleic acids, lipids and proteins. There are a variety of oxidative modifications that occur to proteins including: cleavage of the protein backbone, direct oxidation of amino acid side chains by ROS, and adduction by electrophilic species such as lipid peroxidation products. Many of these oxidative modifications result in the introduction of carbonyl groups into the proteins. Protein carbonylation levels are commonly used as a biomarker to assess the degree of oxidative damage to a system. However the most commonly employed methods for measuring oxidative modifications to proteins, typically fail to provide any information about the identity of the modified protein, site of modification, or the chemical nature of the modification. In the present study we develop an analytical technique based on affinity labeling with N'-aminooxymethylcarbonylhydrazino-D-biotin (aldehyde reactive probe, ARP), along with mass spectrometric analysis which allows for the full characterization of protein carbonylation modifications. The ability of the ARP method was first demonstrated for the case of oxylipid peptide and protein conjugates formed by Michael addition-type conjugation reactions with [alpha,beta]- unsaturated aldehydic lipid peroxidation products with nucleophilic amino acid residue side chains. ARP was used to label a 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) modified cysteine containing model peptide, and HNE modified E. coli thioredoxin, which were characterized using ESI-MS/MS and MALDI-MS/MS. ARP was also used to label the oxidative modifications alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde (AAS) and gamma-glutamic semialdehyde (GGS), formed during the metal catalyzed oxidation of GAPDH. After demonstrating the utility of the technique on model systems, it was then applied to complex biological systems. In one case, subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM) isolated from rat cardiac tissue. Mitochondria are well known to be a major source of ROS within the cell. They are therefore important mediators of oxidative stress, as well as regulators of cell death. We were able to identify 39 unique sites on 27 mitochondrial proteins which were modified by six different [alpha,beta]-unsaturated aldehydes, including acrolein, [beta]-hydroxyacrolein, crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal and 4-oxo-2- nonenal. Additionally we identified nine Lys residues on four mitochondrial proteins that were oxidized to AAS and subsequently labeled with ARP. The proteins identified with oxidative modifications include members of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, TCA cycle, membrane transport, lipid metabolism, and other important mitochondrial enzymes. The ARP technique was also applied to identify protein targets of 4-hyroxy-2- nonenal in human monocytic THP-1 cells that were exogenously exposed to HNE. It was shown previously that exposure of THP-1 cells to HNE resulted in apoptosis, necrosis and protein carbonylation. We applied a multi-pronged proteomic approach involving electrophoretic, immunoblotting and mass spectrometric analysis to unequivocally identify eighteen sites of HNE modification on sixteen proteins. It was also demonstrated in this study that pretreatment of THP-1 cells with ascorbic acid resulted in decreased levels of HNE-protein conjugate formation.

Download or read book Innovative Medicine written by Kazuwa Nakao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is also considerable demand for progress in drug research, new surgical procedures, and new clinical devices and equipment. While the original research target may be rare diseases, it is also important to apply those findings more broadly to common diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics and is organized into three complementary parts. The first part is basic research for innovative medicine, the second is translational research for innovative medicine, and the third is new technology for innovative medicine. This book helps to understand innovative medicine and to make progress in its realization.

Book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Book Process Induced Chemical Changes in Food

Download or read book Process Induced Chemical Changes in Food written by Fereidoon Shahidi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical changes that occur in foods during processing and storage are manifold and might be both desirable and undesirable in nature. While many of the processes are carried out intentionally, there are also certain unwanted changes that naturally occur in food and might have to be controlled. Therefore, efforts are made to devise processing technologies in which desirable attributes of foods are retained and their deleterious ef fects are minimized. While proteins, lipids and carbohydrates are the main nutrients of food that are affected by processing, it is their interaction with one another, as well as in volvement oflow-molecular-weight constituents that affects their flavor, color and overall acceptability. Thus, generation of aroma via thermal processing and bioconversion is of utmost importance in food preparation. Furthermore, processing operations must be opti mized in order to eliminate or reduce the content of antinutrients that are present in foods and retain their bioactive components. Therefore, while novel processing technologies such as freezing, irradiation, microwaving, high pressure treatment and fermentation might be employed, control process conditions in a manner that both the desirable sensory attributes and wholesomeness of foods are safeguarded is essential. Obviously, method ologies should also be established to quantitate the changes that occur in foods as a result of processing. This volume was developed from contributions provided by a group of internation ally-recognized lead scientists.

Book Lipid Analysis

Download or read book Lipid Analysis written by W. W. Christie and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-01-10 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-known and highly successful book was first published in 1973 and has been completely re-written in subsequent editions (published in 1982 and 2003). This new Fourth Edition has become necessary because of the pace of developments in mass spectrometry of intact lipids, which has given recognition of lipid analysis and ‘lipidomics’ as a distinct science. To bring the book up to date with these developments, author William W. Christie is joined by co-author Xianlin Han. Although devoting considerable space to mass spectrometry and lipidomics, Lipid analysis remains a practical guide, in one volume, to the complexities of the analysis of lipids. As in past editions, it is designed to act as a primary source, of value at the laboratory bench rather than residing on a library shelf. Lipid analysis deals with the isolation, separation, identification and structural analysis of glycerolipids, including triacylglycerols, phospholipids, sphingolipids, and the various hydrolysis products of these. The chapters follow a logical sequence from the extraction of lipids to the isolation and characterization of particular lipid classes and of molecular species of each, and to the mass spectrometric analysis of lipids and lipidomics. The new influence of mass spectrometry is due mainly to the development of electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). Most emphasis in this book is placed on ESI, which is enabling structural characterization of different lipid classes and the identification of novel lipids and their molecular species.
