Abstract
Human albumin solutions were developed as therapeutic during the Second World War to address blood loss due to battlefield injury. This indication was based on the recognition that albumin provided most of the oncotic capacity of human plasma. For the succeeding sixty years, this formed the basis for the use of albumin in traumatology and emergency medicine. In more recent times, the pharmacological properties arising from albumin's complex structure have become a focus of attention by clinical researchers. In particular, albumin, through anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, has been proposed as an agent for the treatment of sepsis, cirrhosis and other inflammatory states. Some evidence for these indications has accrued from a number of small clinical trials and observational studies. These studies have not been confirmed in other large trials. Together with other investigators, we have shown that the process of plasma fractionation results in alterations in the structure of albumin, including those parts of the molecule involved in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Albumin products from diverse manufacturers show heterogeneity in their ability to address these effects. In this article, we review the historical development of albumin solutions, pointing out the variations in fractionation chemistries which different manufacturers have adopted. We suggest ways by which the manufacturing processes have contributed to variations in the physico-chemical properties of molecule. We review the outcomes of clinical studies assessing the role of albumin in ameliorating conditions such as sepsis and cirrhosis, and we speculate as to the extent which heterogeneity in the products may have contributed to variable clinical outcomes. Finally, we argue for a change in the perception of the plasma product industry and its regulatory overseers. Historically, albumin has been viewed as a generic commodity, with different preparations being interchangeable in their clinical application. We suggest that this implied biosimilarity is not necessarily applicable for different albumin solutions. The use of albumin, in indications other than its historical role as a plasma expander, can only be validated by clinical investigation of each separate albumin product.

Abstract
d-ribose, a reducing sugar, in diabetic hyperglycemia provokes non-enzymatic glycoxidation of hemoglobin (Hb), an abundant protein of red blood cells (RBCs). Different types of intermediates adduct formation occur during glycoxidation, such as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which lead to amyloid formation due to structural and conformational alterations in protein. Therefore, the study of these intermediate adducts plays a pivotal role to discern their relationship with diabetes mellitus and related disorders. Here, we investigated the interaction mechanism of d-ribose with Hb, and Hb prebound phytochemical thymoquinone (TQ). Our investigation reveals that the interaction of TQ with histidine residues of Hb interferes with the interaction of d-ribose with glycine residues at the glycation-site. Based on that, we had performed a time-based (21-days) in-vitro glycoxidation study at 37 °C to investigate the structural perturbation mechanism of Hb at different time-intervals in absence/presence of TQ. We found that prolonged glycoxidation induces amyloid formation in absence of TQ but in its presence, the process was prohibited. In summary, this study examined and characterized biophysically different intermediate-states of protein carrying glycoxidation-modification. Our findings suggested that TQ potentially affects interaction of d-ribose with Hb that prevents glycoxidation and protofibril formation, which establishes TQ as a potential therapeutic agent.

Abstract
AIMS The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) has been reported as a novel prognostic marker in serious illness and various inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of CAR with incidence risk of type 2 diabetes in adults without chronic disease. METHODS A total of 5904 participants aged 40 to 69 years were selected from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study who were observed over 12 years. Multivariable logistic regression was analyzed to examine the relationship between CAR tertiles and incident diabetes. The predictive power of new-onset diabetes by CAR and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were also measured using the random forest model. RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 7.6 years, 701 subjects (11.9%) developed diabetes. Compared with the lowest CAR group, the highest CAR group was associated with incidence of diabetes (OR 1.60; 95% CI 1.24-1.89) after adjustment for other potential confounding factors. In the random forest model, CAR did not show a significant difference in prediction of new-onset diabetes compared with HOMA-IR (p = 0.561). CONCLUSIONS CAR, which is a ratio of commonly used biomarkers and reflects both oxidative stress and antioxidants, is suggested as a predictor of incident diabetes.

Abstract
Being one of the main proteins in the human body and many animal species, albumin plays a decisive role in the transport of various ions-electrically neutral and charged molecules-and in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood. Albumin is able to bind to almost all known drugs, as well as many nutraceuticals and toxic substances, largely determining their pharmaco- and toxicokinetics. Albumin of humans and respective representatives in cattle and rodents have their own structural features that determine species differences in functional properties. However, albumin is not only passive, but also an active participant of pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic processes, possessing a number of enzymatic activities. Numerous experiments have shown esterase or pseudoesterase activity of albumin towards a number of endogeneous and exogeneous esters. Due to the free thiol group of Cys34, albumin can serve as a trap for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, thus participating in redox processes. Glycated albumin makes a significant contribution to the pathogenesis of diabetes and other diseases. The interaction of albumin with blood cells, blood vessels and tissue cells outside the vascular bed is of great importance. Interactions with endothelial glycocalyx and vascular endothelial cells largely determine the integrative role of albumin. This review considers the esterase, antioxidant, transporting and signaling properties of albumin, as well as its structural and functional modifications and their significance in the pathogenesis of certain diseases.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in plasma, contributing actively to oncotic pressure maintenance and fluid distribution between body compartments. HSA acts as the main carrier of fatty acids, recognizes metal ions, affects pharmacokinetics of many drugs, provides the metabolic modification of some ligands, renders potential toxins harmless, accounts for most of the anti-oxidant capacity of human plasma, and displays esterase, enolase, glucuronidase, and peroxidase (pseudo)-enzymatic activities. HSA-based catalysis is physiologically relevant, affecting the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds including proteins, lipids, cholesterol, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and drugs. Catalytic properties of HSA are modulated by allosteric effectors, competitive inhibitors, chemical modifications, pathological conditions, and aging. HSA displays anti-oxidant properties and is critical for plasma detoxification from toxic agents and for pro-drugs activation. The enzymatic properties of HSA can be also exploited by chemical industries as a scaffold to produce libraries of catalysts with improved proficiency and stereoselectivity for water decontamination from poisonous agents and environmental contaminants, in the so called “green chemistry” field. Here, an overview of the intrinsic and metal dependent (pseudo-)enzymatic properties of HSA is reported to highlight the roles played by this multifaced protein.

Abstract
AIM To understand the mechanism of glycation of albumin and effects on cysteinylation and methionine oxidation. METHODS The in vitro glycation of HSA and BSA was studied with varying concentrations of glucose. Clinical blood samples of diabetic subjects with varying HbA1c values, were analyzed to assess in vivo glycation. All samples and their tryptic digests were analyzed using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Glycation sites were mapped on to the three-dimensional structure of the HSA and BSA. RESULTS A total thirty-one sites for glycation and eight sites of Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) modification were identified on albumin. The site selectivity of glycation was correlated with the environment of the reactive residue in the three-dimensional structure. CONCLUSIONS The maximum percentage glycation under extreme conditions was in the range of ~55 to 88% in four weeks. Two major glycation sites K-233 and K-525 were identified, which together accounted for 40-50% of total glycation. A correlation was observed between glycation and oxidation of methionine residues in samples glycated in vitro. The role of spatially proximate residues in facilitating the glycation process is evident. The tri- and tetra-glycated isoforms of albumin can serve as biomarkers for the severe uncontrolled diabetic state.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative process that inexorably leads to progressive deterioration of cognition function and, ultimately, death. Central pathophysiologic features of AD include the accumulation of extracellular plaques comprised of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and the presence of intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles. However, a large body of evidence suggests that oxidative stress and inflammation are major contributors to the pathogenesis and progression of AD. To date, available pharmacologic treatments are only symptomatic. Clinical trials focused on amyloid and non-amyloid-targeted treatments with small molecule pharmacotherapy and immunotherapies have accumulated a long list of failures. Considering that around 90 % of the circulating Aβ is bound to albumin, and that a dynamic equilibrium exists between peripheral and central Aβ, plasma exchange with albumin replacement has emerged as a new approach in a multitargeted AD therapeutic strategy (AMBAR Program). In plasma exchange, a patient's plasma is removed by plasmapheresis to eliminate toxic endogenous substances, including Aβ and functionally impaired albumin. The fluid replacement used is therapeutic albumin, which acts not only as a plasma volume expander but also has numerous pleiotropic functions (e.g., circulating Aβ- binding capacity, transporter, detoxifier, antioxidant) that are clinically relevant for the treatment of AD. Positive results from the AMBAR Program (phase 1, 2, an 2b/3 trials), i.e., slower decline or stabilization of disease symptoms in the most relevant clinical efficacy and safety endpoints, offer a glimmer of hope to both AD patients and caregivers.

Abstract
As a carrier of many biologically active compounds, blood is exposed to oxidants to a greater extent than the intracellular environment. Serum albumin plays a key role in antioxidant defence under both normal and oxidative stress conditions. This review evaluates data published in the literature and from our own research on the mechanisms of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities of albumin that determine its participation in redox modulation of plasma and intercellular fluid. For the first time, the results of numerous clinical, biochemical, spectroscopic and computational experiments devoted to the study of allosteric modulation of the functional properties of the protein associated with its participation in antioxidant defence are analysed. It has been concluded that it is fundamentally possible to regulate the antioxidant properties of albumin with various ligands, and the binding and/or enzymatic features of the protein by changing its redox status. The perspectives for using the antioxidant properties of albumin in practice are discussed.

Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia presents the major etiology of diabetes mellitus and related complications mainly Alzheimer's disease, via the protein glycation and toxic products generated. In the current study, we investigated the eventual protective effect of the methanolic extract of Ceratonia siliqua L. (CsME) against glucose-mediated glycation in serum bovine albumin. The multi-stage glycation markers, namely fructosamines and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels were monitored along with measurement of thiol groups; moreover, the in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition potential was carried out. HPLC was also assessed. Rutin was the main phenolic compound found in CsME. CsME showed a good capacity to inhibit AGEs, fructosamines and protected thiol groups against glycation. CsME exhibited a great AChE inhibition activity. In the present study, CsME prevented glucose-induced protein glycation, it also exhibited a good inhibition of AChE, suggesting its DM complications such as memory troubles related to AD. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Neurodegenerative disorders ranging from memory troubles to Alzheimer's disease present the most diabetes mellitus complications and mainly attributed to protein glycation process. Currently, there is a strong trend to search for efficient natural sources of glycation and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors to replace the synthetic ones, whose secondary effects were shown. The present article tries to justify scientifically the wide use of Ceratonia siliqua L. in Moroccan folk medicine, demonstrating that the methanolic extract of leaves from this species presents a promising source of new natural compounds inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and acting in vitro against glycation generated compounds. Furthermore, for the first time, Rutin was the main phenolic compound found in this extract, these encouraging results should be coupled with further studies to integrate it in pharmaceutical formulations. As such, this paper should be of interest to a broad readership, including those interested in Biochemistry, Phytochemistry, pharmacology, and neurosciences.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation occurs rapidly which ultimately leads to the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These AGEs have shown to associated with the development of many diseases such as diabetes-mellitus. This study is focused on immunological characterization of glycated-Hb induced by d-ribose. Here, we analysed the immunogenicity of glycated-Hb by direct binding and competitive inhibition ELISA. Direct binding ELISA confirmed that glycated-Hb was highly immunogenic and induced high titre antibodies as compared to native-Hb. The antigen binding specificity and cross reactivity of these antibodies were also screened by competitive inhibition ELISA. The IgG from rabbit sera showed enhanced binding of glycated-Hb than native-Hb. Thus, it is possible that alterations in Hb induced by d-ribose could have generated highly immunogenic neoepitopes. Moreover, induced antibodies were also found to cross-react with other modified/native proteins. On the basis of the results of this study, we presume that this type of structural perturbations in Hb in vivo by d-ribose might take place in untreated diabetic condition that could induce such type of immunogenic auto-antibodies. Furthermore, increased level of these auto-antibodies could serve as a biomarker in diabetes and its progression.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating and comparing the anti-diabetic potential of black and green teas. Biochemical analyses indicate higher antioxidant potency, significantly correlated with the phytochemicals present, in green teas compared to black teas. Both extracts afforded a similar level of protection to erythrocytes against peroxyl radical-induced lysis. Non-cytotoxic concentration of green and black tea extracts significantly reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (P < 0.01), lowered the oxidation of proteins (P < 0.05) and decreased the IL-6 secretion (P < 0.01) induced by AGEs or H2O2 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Both teas also inhibited the decline in the enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase induced by the pro-oxidants. The teas further suppressed the glycation of BSA mediated by glucose, ribose and MGO by reducing fluorescent AGE, fructosamine, protein carbonyl and AOPP levels. Black and green teas also inhibited the activities of α-amylase (AA50: 589.86 ± 39.51 and 947.80 ± 18.20 μg mL-1, respectively) and α-glucosidase (AA50: 72.31 ± 4.23 and 100.23 ± 8.10 μg mL-1, respectively). The teas afforded a comparable level of protection at the cellular level and against glycation while black tea exerted the highest carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes inhibitory activity. Our results clearly show that black and green teas represent an important source of antioxidants with anti-diabetic potential.

Abstract
In this paper we propose an easy way to detect the glycated form of human serum albumin which is biomarker for several diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer. The detection platform is a label free impedimetric immunosensor, in which we used a monoclonal human serum albumin antibody as a bioreceptor and electrochemical impedance as a transducing method. The antibody was deposited onto a gold surface by simple physisorption technique. Bovine serum albumin was used as a blocking agent for non-specific binding interactions. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the characterization of each layer. Human serum albumin was glycated at different levels with several concentrations of glucose ranging from 0 mM to 500 mM representing physiological, pathological (diabetic albumin) and suprapathological concentration of glucose. Through the calibration curves, we could clearly distinguish between two different areas related to physiological and pathological albumin glycation levels. The immunosensor displayed a linear range from 7.49% to 15.79% of glycated albumin to total albumin with a good sensitivity. Surface plasmon resonance imaging was also used to characterize the developed immunosensor.

Abstract
The long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide has proven efficiency in the management of type 2 diabetes and also has beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. Liraglutide's protracted action highly depends on its capacity to bind to albumin via its palmitic acid part. However, in diabetes, albumin can undergo glycation, resulting in impaired drug binding. Our objective in this study was to assess the impact of human serum albumin (HSA) glycation on liraglutide affinity. Using fluorine labeling of the drug and 19F NMR, we determined HSA affinity for liraglutide in two glycated albumin models. We either glycated HSA in vitro by incubation with glucose (G25- or G100-HSA) or methylglyoxal (MGO-HSA) or purified in vivo glycated HSA from the plasma of diabetic patients with poor glycemic control. Nonglycated commercial HSA (G0-HSA) and HSA purified from plasma of healthy individuals served as controls. We found that glycation decreases affinity for liraglutide by 7-fold for G100-HSA and by 5-fold for MGO-HSA compared with G0-HSA. A similarly reduced affinity was observed for HSA purified from diabetic individuals compared with HSA from healthy individuals. Our results reveal that glycation significantly impairs HSA affinity to liraglutide and confirm that glycation contributes to liraglutide's variable therapeutic efficiency, depending on diabetes stage. Because diabetes is a progressive disease, the effect of glycated albumin on liraglutide affinity found here is important to consider when diabetes is managed with this drug.

Abstract
It has been reported that glycation of human serum albumin (HSA) changes its capability for copper binding whereas the increase of free copper might have an impact on protein glycation - a key process in diabetes progression. In this work, proteomic analysis of non-glycated HSA and HSA glycated with methylglyoxal (MGo) in the absence or in the presence of Cu(ii) (0.1; 1.0; 5.0 mg Cu L-1) has been undertaken. Trypsin hydrolysates were subjected to capillary HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and MS/MS. Raw data were analyzed using two proteomic platforms: MaxQuant () and ProteinScape (Bruker). Considering seven MGo-derived modifications, the sequence coverage was 98% for non-modified HSA and ≥93% for HSA incubated with MGo or MGo + Cu(ii). Peptide mapping yielded 76 identical peptides in all samples though important differences were found between non-modified HSA and protein glycated with or without Cu(ii). Overall, 46 peptides with residues from 1 to 3 modified were detected/sequenced; the MGo-derived modifications found were: hydroimidazolone, argpyrimidine, Nε-carboxyethyl-lysine and S-carboxyethyl-cysteine; 39 modified sites were identified (22 on arginine, 12 on lysine, and 5 on cysteine) and among them, 27 were common for ProteinScape and MaxQuant. The count of the modified peptides and the comparative analysis of their abundance in different samples indicated that Cu(ii) at physiological and sub-physiological concentrations inhibited HSA glycation as compared to the glycation of the Cu-devoid protein; at higher concentrations (5 mg Cu L-1), this inhibitory effect tends to be inverted. The results obtained suggest that increased protein glycation might be associated with Cu-deficiency and with excessive Cu(ii) concentrations, calling for more detailed studies performed on real-world samples with a strict control of copper concentration.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic glycation of macromolecules, especially proteins leading to their oxidation is increased in diabetes mellitus due to hyperglycaemia and play an important role in associated complications of the disease. Protein glycation mostly occurs in intra chain lysine residues resulting in the formation of early stage Amadori products which are finally converted to advance glycation end products (AGEs). This review deals with the structural studies of in vitro and in vivo glycated human serum albumin (HSA). The aim of this review is to explain the disturbance in secondary and tertiary structure of albumin upon glucosylation and the immunogenic potential of modified albumin. Amadori-albumin may have enough potential to provoke the immunoregulatry cells and generate autoantibodies in diabetic patients. Role of Amadori-albumin in the induction of autoantibodies in type2 diabetes especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients has been discussed. This review also considers various studies that investigate the effects of glycation on the structural and immunological properties of HSA. The use of glycated albumin (GA) as a short to intermediate term marker for glycaemic control in diabetes is also focused.

Abstract
Diabetes and obesity are strongly associated with increased levels of circulating advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These two molecular phenomena affect the physiology of adipose tissue, a biological driver of the metabolic syndrome, leading to an inflammatory profile and insulin resistance, which could contribute to obesity/diabetes-associated complications, such as cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we investigated the impact of AGEs on mitochondrial bioenergetics in murine preadipocyte cells (3T3-L1) and cellular redox homeostasis. We show that incubation of preadipocytes with AGEs stimulates mitochondrial activity and respiration while inducing oxidative stress. This AGE-induced intracellular ROS production was blocked by diphenylene iodonium, an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor. In parallel, antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase) were found to be activated upon AGE treatment. Our results suggest that AGE-induced oxidative stress is generated by NAD(P)H oxidase and leads to a cellular proliferation arrest associated with enhanced mitochondrial metabolism and biogenesis, and with increased levels of ROS-detoxifying enzymes, as well. These new data show how AGEs may be involved in hyperglycemia-induced oxidative damage in preadipocytes and their potential links to diabetes progression. © 2017 BioFactors, 43(4):577-592, 2017.

Abstract
Increased oxidative stress and advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation are major contributors to the development of type 2 diabetes. Here plasma proteins e.g. albumin can undergo glycoxidation and play a key role in diabetes onset and related pathologies. However, despite recent progress linking albumin-AGE to increased oxidative stress and downstream effects, its action in metabolic organs such as the liver remains to be elucidated. The current study therefore investigated links between oxidative perturbations and biochemical/structural modifications of plasma albumin, and subsequent downstream effects in transgenic db/db mouse livers and HepG2 cells, respectively. Our data reveal increased oxidative stress biomarkers and lipid accumulation in plasma and livers of diabetic mice, together with albumin glycoxidation. Purified mouse albumin modifications resembled those typically found in diabetic patients, i.e. degree of glycation, carbonylation, AGE levels and in terms of chemical composition. Receptor for AGE expression and reactive oxygen species production were upregulated in db/db mouse livers, together with impaired proteolytic, antioxidant and mitochondrial respiratory activities. In parallel, acute exposure of HepG2 cells to glycated albumin also elicited intracellular free radical formation. Together this study demonstrates that AGE-modified albumin can trigger damaging effects on the liver, i.e. by increasing oxidative stress, attenuating antioxidant capacity, and by impairment of hepatic proteolytic and respiratory chain enzyme activities.

Abstract
The ability of human serum albumin to capture unbound copper under different clinical conditions is an important variable potentially affecting homeostasis of this element. Here, we propose a simple procedure based on size-exclusion chromatography with on-line UV and nitrogen microwave-plasma atomic-emission spectrometry (MP-AES) for quantitative evaluation of Cu(II) binding to HSA upon its glycation in vitro. The Cu-to-protein molar ratio for non-glycated albumin was 0.98 ± 0.09; for HSA modified with glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), oxoacetic acid (GA), and glucose (Glc), the ratios were 1.30 ± 0.22, 0.72 ± 0.14, 0.50 ± 0.06, and 0.95 ± 0.12, respectively. The results were confirmed by using ICP-MS as an alternative detection system. A reduced ability of glycated protein to coordinate Cu(II) was associated with alteration of the N-terminal metal-binding site during incubation with MGO and GA. In contrast, glycation with GO seemed to generate new binding sites as a result of tertiary structural changes in HSA. Capillary reversed-phase liquid chromatography with electrospray-ionization quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry enabled detection and identification of Cu(II) coordinated to the N-terminal metal-binding site (Cu(II)-DAHK) in all tryptic digests analyzed. This is the first report confirming Cu(II)-DAHK species in HSA by means of high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, and the first report on the use of MP-AES in combination with chromatographic separation.

Abstract
Glycation is a general spontaneous process in proteins which has significant impact on their physical and functional properties. These changes in protein properties could be related to several pathological consequences such as cataract, arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Among the proteins, glycation of Human serum albumin (HSA) is of special interest. Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in the plasma and because of its high sensitivity for glycation, undergoes structural and functional changes due to binding of reducing sugars in vitro. The glycation process occurs by plasma glucose in vivo which has great impacts on the three dimensional structure of protein. These changes are efficient and stable enough which makes the protein to be considered as a new special disease marker instead of HbA1C for diabetes. In some cases, glycated albumin was used as an alternative marker for glycemic control. Glycated albumin reacts with glucose ten times more rapidly than HbA1C and has shorter half-life which makes it more reliable for indicating glycemic states. In this review, glycation of Human Serum Albumin has been overviewed, starting from overall concepts of glycation, followed by some Examples of pathological consequences of protein glycation. The BSA aggregation was reviewed in terms of structural and biological impacts of glycation on the protein followed by reporting documents which indicate possibility of glycated albumin to be used as specific marker for diabetes. Finally, some of the studies related to the models of glycated albumin have been briefly described, with an emphasis on In vitro studies. It is interesting to note the relationship found between in vitro glycation experiments and the propensity of proteins to form amyloid structures, a point that could be further explored as to its significance in hyperglycemic states.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has been used for a long time as a resuscitation fluid in critically ill patients. It is known to exert several important physiological and pharmacological functions. Among them, the antioxidant properties seem to be of paramount importance as they may be implied in the potential beneficial effects that have been observed in the critical care and hepatological settings. The specific antioxidant functions of the protein are closely related to its structure. Indeed, they are due to its multiple ligand-binding capacities and free radical-trapping properties. The HSA molecule can undergo various structural changes modifying its conformation and hence its binding properties and redox state. Such chemical modifications can occur during bioprocesses and storage conditions of the commercial HSA solutions, resulting in heterogeneous solutions for infusion. In this review, we explore the mechanisms that are responsible for the specific antioxidant properties of HSA in its native form, chemically modified forms, and commercial formulations. To conclude, we discuss the implication of this recent literature for future clinical trials using albumin as a drug and for elucidating the effects of HSA infusion in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albumin constitutes the most abundant circulating antioxidant and prevents oxidative damages. However, in diabetes, this plasmatic protein is exposed to several oxidative modifications, which impact on albumin antioxidant properties. METHODS Most studies dealing on albumin antioxidant activities were conducted on in vitro modified protein. Here we tried to decipher whether reduced antioxidant properties of albumin could be evidenced in vivo. For this, we compared the antioxidant properties of albumin purified from diabetic patients to in vitro models of glycated albumin. RESULTS Both in vivo and in vitro glycated albumins displayed impaired antioxidant activities in the free radical-induced hemolysis test. Surprisingly, the ORAC method (Oxygen Radical Antioxidant Capacity) showed an enhanced antioxidant activity for glycated albumin. Faced with this paradox, we investigated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of our albumin preparations on cultured cells (macrophages and adipocytes). Reduced cellular metabolism and enhanced intracellular oxidative stress were measured in cells treated with albumin from diabetics. NF-kB -mediated gene induction was higher in macrophages treated with both type of glycated albumin compared with cells treated with native albumin. Anti inflammatory activity of native albumin is significantly impaired after in vitro glycation and albumin purified from diabetics significantly enhanced IL6 secretion by adipocytes. Expression of receptor for advanced glycation products is significantly enhanced in glycated albumin-treated cells. CONCLUSIONS AND GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our results bring new evidences on the deleterious impairments of albumin important functions after glycation and emphasize the importance of in vivo model of glycation in studies relied to diabetes pathology.

Abstract
Diabetes is an inflammatory disease promoted by alterations in immune cell function. Animal study indicates that T cells are important mediators of inflammation in diabetes. Lipid peroxidation by reactive oxygen species leads to the formation of highly reactive malondialdehyde (MDA), and extensive MDA is found in diabetes. However, the biological functions of MDA have not been studied yet. We hypothesized that increased MDA, as in diabetes, can regulate inflammatory cytokines via specific signaling pathways. This could then result in increased lymphocyte activation and skewing a particular inflammatory subset thereby exacerbates diabetes complications. Commercial cytokine antibody and RT(2)-PCR array profiling were performed with Jurkat T cells grown with or without MDA. Ingenuity pathways analysis (IPA) and pharmacological inhibitors were used for networks and signaling pathway identification, respectively. For validation, real-time PCR, RT-PCR, and Western blots were performed. MDA induced significant increases in 47 key proinflammatory molecules such as IL-25, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM-1, and light mRNA in Jurkat T cells and primary peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLCs). A significant 2-fold increase in serum MDA also correlated the increased IL-25 and IL-8 mRNA in PBLCs of diabetic patients. Pharmacological inhibitor studies showed that MDA induced its effect via p38MAPK and protein kinase C pathways. Furthermore, IPA uncovered 5 groups of inflammatory networks and placed our candidate genes in canonical IL-6 and NF-κB signaling pathways and also suggested 5 toxic lists and 3 major toxic functions, namely cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. These new results suggest that MDA can promote lymphocyte activation via induction of inflammatory pathways and networks.

Abstract
Albumin, the major circulating protein in blood, can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. One of the main properties of this plasma protein is its strong affinity to bind many therapeutic drugs, including warfarin and ketoprofen. In this study, we investigated whether or not there were any significant changes related to in vitro or in vivo glycation in the structural properties and the binding of human albumin to both therapeutic drugs. Structural parameters, including redox state and ketoamine contents of in vitro and in vivo glycated purified albumins, were investigated in parallel with their affinity for warfarin and ketoprofen. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the free drug concentrations and dissociation constants according to the Scatchard method. An alternative method based on fluorescence spectroscopy was also used to assess drug-binding properties. Oxidation and glycation levels were found to be enhanced in albumin purified from diabetic patients or glycated with glucose or methylglyoxal, after determination of their ketoamine, free thiol, amino group and carbonyl contents. In parallel, significant impairments in the binding affinity of in vitro and in vivo glycated albumin, as indicated by the higher dissociation constant values and confirmed by higher free drug fractions, were observed. To a lesser extent, this alteration also significantly affected diabetic albumin affinity, indicated by a lower static quenching in fluorescence spectroscopy. This work provides useful information supporting in vivo diabetic albumin could be the best model of glycation for monitoring diabetic physiopathology and should be valuable to know if glycation of albumin could contribute to variability in drugs response during diabetes.

Abstract
This review is the fifth update of the original review, published in 1999, on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2008. The first section of the review covers fundamental studies, fragmentation of carbohydrate ions, use of derivatives and new software developments for analysis of carbohydrate spectra. Among newer areas of method development are glycan arrays, MALDI imaging and the use of ion mobility spectrometry. The second section of the review discusses applications of MALDI MS to the analysis of different types of carbohydrate. Specific compound classes that are covered include carbohydrate polymers from plants, N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins, biopharmaceuticals, glycated proteins, glycolipids, glycosides and various other natural products. There is a short section on the use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the study of enzymes involved in glycan processing and a section on the use of MALDI MS to monitor products of the chemical synthesis of carbohydrates with emphasis on carbohydrate-protein complexes and glycodendrimers. Corresponding analyses by electrospray ionization now appear to outnumber those performed by MALDI and the amount of literature makes a comprehensive review on this technique impractical. However, most of the work relating to sample preparation and glycan synthesis is equally relevant to electrospray and, consequently, those proposing analyses by electrospray should also find material in this review of interest.

Abstract
AIM Albumin, a major protein in the blood circulation, can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. From recent studies, it has become evident that glycation has important implications for albumin actions and impact on cell functioning. This study compares the structural and functional properties of albumin glycated by glucose and methylglyoxal (MGO) with those of albumin purified from diabetic patients. METHODS Human serum albumin (HSA) was purified from diabetic patients and control subjects using affinity chromatography, and oxidation parameters in various albumin preparations were determined. Tryptophan and 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulphonic acid (ANSA) probe fluorescence, redox state, antioxidant and copper-binding capacities of the different preparations of albumin were also determined and compared. RESULTS Occurrence of oxidative modifications was enhanced in albumin whether purified from diabetic patients, or glycated by glucose or MGO, after determination of their fructosamine and free thiol and amino group contents, carbonyl content and antioxidant activities. Whereas more quantitative changes in oxidative and structural parameters were observed in the glucose- and MGO-modified albumins, significant impairment of albumin function (free-radical-scavenging and copper-binding capacities) were demonstrated in the HSA purified from diabetics. These findings reveal different structural and functional features of diabetic HSA compared with in vitro models. CONCLUSION This study provides new information supporting albumin as an important biomarker for monitoring diabetic pathophysiology. In addition, it reconfirms the influence of experimental conditions in which advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are generated in tests designed to mimic the pathological conditions of diabetes.

Abstract
The interaction of a series of steroid hormones (DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, estradiol) with serum albumin immobilized on porous silica particles and the effect of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide on this interaction were studied using a biochromatographic approach. The determination of enthalpy and entropy changes of this binding indicated that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds predominated the hormone association with albumin. Reactive oxygen species (H(2)O(2) and OH*) increased the hormone binding affinity to albumin. On the other hand, this binding was decreased with the presence of NO*. This variation was due to conformational changes in the binding region explained by the oxidation of some residues such as free thiol and arginine. The thermodynamic analysis showed that free radical affects the van der Waals forces and/or a hydrogen bond of the hormone binding with albumin. These results explained the role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in the hormone free fraction level in the blood.

Abstract
S-nitrosylated proteins are biomarkers of oxidative damage in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we report a new method for detecting and quantifying nitrosylated proteins by capillary gel electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection (CGE-LIF). Dylight 488 maleimide was used to specifically label thiol group (SH) after switching the S-nitrosothiol (S-NO) to SH in cysteine using the "fluorescence switch" assay. In vitro nitrosylation model-BSA subjected to S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) optimized the labeling reactions and characterized the response of the LIF detector. The method proves to be highly sensitive, detecting 1.3 picomolar (pM) concentration of nitrosothiols in nanograms of proteins, which is the lowest limit of detection of nitrosothiols reported to date. We further demonstrated the direct application of this method in monitoring protein nitrosylation damage in MQ mediated human colon adenocarcinoma cells. The nitrosothiol amounts in MQ treated and untreated cells are 14.8±0.2 and 10.4±0.5 pmol/mg of proteins, respectively. We also depicted nitrosylated protein electrophoretic profiles of brain cerebrum of 5-month-old AD transgenic (Tg) mice model. In Tg mice brain, 15.5±0.4 pmol of nitrosothiols/mg of proteins was quantified while wild type contained 11.7±0.3 pmol/mg proteins. The methodology is validated to quantify low levels of S-nitrosylated protein in complex protein mixtures from both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Aging is a multifactorial process that involves changes at the cellular, tissue, organ and the whole body levels resulting in decreased functioning, development of diseases, and ultimately death. Oxidative stress is believed to be a very important factor in causing aging and age-related diseases. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between oxidants such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. ROS are produced from the mitochondrial electron transport chain and many oxidative reactions. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite formed during glucose, protein and fatty acid metabolism. MG levels are elevated in hyperglycemia and other conditions. An excess of MG formation can increase ROS production and cause oxidative stress. MG reacts with proteins, DNA and other biomolecules, and is a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are also associated with the aging process and age-related diseases such as cardiovascular complications of diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and connective tissue disorders. AGEs also increase oxidative stress. In this review we discuss the potential role of MG in the aging process through increasing oxidative stress besides causing AGEs formation. Specific and effective scavengers and crosslink breakers of MG and AGEs are being developed and can become potential treatments to slow the aging process and prevent many diseases.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and protein modifications are frequently observed in numerous disease states. Glucose constitutes a vital nutrient necessary to cellular oxygen metabolism. However, hyperglycemia-associated damage is an important factor in diabetes disorders. Albumin, the major circulating protein in blood, can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. From recent studies, it has become evident that protein glycation has important implications for protein activity, unfolding, and degradation, as well as for cell functioning. After giving a brief overview of the key role of albumin in overall antioxidant defense, this review examines its role as a target of glycation reactions. A synthesis of state of the art methods for measuring and characterizing albumin glycation is detailed. In light of recent data, we then report the impact of glycation on the structure of albumin and its various activities, especially its antioxidant and binding capacities. The biological impact of glycated albumin on cell physiology is also discussed, specifically the role of the protein as a biological marker of diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated pathology, with a worldwide prevalence estimated to double by 2030. A major effort has been launched to find therapeutic means to improve health conditions of diabetic patients. Recent data show that supplemental natural antioxidants represent a potential strategy as adjunct therapy. Despite the major role of adipocytes in the etiology of diabetes, little is known about the effect of natural antioxidants on adipocyte response to oxidative stress. Using a diabetes-like oxidative stress model, the potential protective effect of antioxidative flavedo, albedo, and pulp extracts of (1) tangor Elendale (Citrus reticulata × Citrus sinensis) and (2) tangelo Minneola (C. reticulata × Citrus paradisis) was investigated on human adipocytes. Besides the retardation of free-radical-induced hemolysis of human erythrocytes, non-cytotoxic concentrations of tangelo and tangor flavedo extracts significantly reduced the levels of protein carbonyls in response to advanced glycation end products (AGEs) generated by albumin glycation in SW872 cells. Flavedo extracts lowered carbonyl accumulation in H2O2-treated adipocytes, while tangelo and tangor flavedo, albedo, and pulp extracts suppressed ROS production in SW872 cells with or without the addition of H2O2. Our results clearly show that Mauritian Citrus fruit extracts represent an important source of antioxidants, with a novel antioxidative role at the adipose tissue level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased production and accumulation of methylglyoxal (MGO), as well as increased modification of proteins by glycoxidation, are hallmarks of aging and diabetes. MGO was shown to modify proteins and to contribute to the accumulation of damaged proteins that can be toxic to cells. However, the effect of MGO on the cell systems responsible for repairing or degrading damaged proteins is still unclear. In this study, the effect of MGO on the function of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and on molecular chaperones, two cooperative mechanisms associated with protein quality control, was investigated. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this work it is shown that treatment of cells with MGO leads to accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates and depletion of free ubiquitin. Moreover, MGO significantly decreases the proteolytic activity of the 20S proteasome. Data further shows that MGO decreases the levels of the molecular chaperones Hsc70 and Hsp90 and leads to accumulation of CHIP-, Hsp40- and ubiquitin-containing aggregates. The formation of large aggregates containing CHIP is a consequence of its binding to misfolded proteins and to molecular chaperones. Moreover, dysfunction of the chaperones/CHIP/UPS axis is associated with accumulation of oxidized and argpyrimidine-modified proteins, which is likely to be associated with decreased cell viability. Interestingly, data further shows that MGO-induced stress induces the activation of heat shock factor-1 (Hsf-1), the main transcription factor involved in the regulation of the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and cell response to stress. CONCLUSIONS The data obtained in this work suggests that MGO impairs both the UPS and the protein quality control dependent on CHIP and molecular chaperones, leading to accumulation of toxic aggregates and increased cell death. However, these MGO-induced changes appear to elicit a response from the Hsf-1 system, which is crucial to help cells to cope with cellular stress and to re-establish homeostasis.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) inhibits endothelial apoptosis in a highly specific manner. CNBr fragmentation greatly increases the effectiveness of this activity, suggesting that this type of protection is mediated by a partially cryptic albumin domain which is transiently exposed by intramolecular movement. Advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation in HSA greatly reduces its intra-molecular movement. This study aimed to determine if this inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of HSA, and if such inactivation could be reversed by CNBr fragmentation. HSA-AGE was prepared by incubating HSA with glucose, and assessed using the fructosamine assay, mass spectrometry, SDS-PAGE and fluorometry. Low levels of AGE in the HSA had little effect upon its anti-apoptotic activity, but when the levels of AGE were high and the intra-molecular movement was reduced, endothelial cell survival was also found to be reduced to levels equivalent to those in cultures without HSA or serum (p > 0.001). Survival was restored by the inclusion of native HSA, despite the presence of HSA with high levels of AGE. Also, CNBr fragmentation of otherwise inactive HSA-AGE restored the anti-apoptotic activity for endothelium. Apoptosis was confirmed by DNA gel electrophoresis, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and there was no evidence for direct toxicity in the HSA-AGE preparations. The results are consistent with the proposed role of intra-molecular movement in exposing the anti-apoptotic domain in HSA for endothelium. The levels of AGE formation required to inhibit the anti-apoptotic activity of HSA exceeded those reported for diabetes. Nonetheless, the data from this study seems to be the first example of reduced protein function due to AGE-restricted intra-molecular movement.

Apolipoprotein E limits oxidative stress-induced cell dysfunctions in human adipocytes. FEBS Lett 2009; 583:2042-8. [PMID: 19450584 DOI: 10.1016/j.febslet.2009.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2009] [Revised: 05/01/2009] [Accepted: 05/08/2009] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Oxidative stress in adipose tissue constitutes a pathological process involved in obesity-linked metabolic disorders. Apolipoprotein E (apoE), which exhibits antioxidant properties in plasma and brain, is highly produced by adipose tissue and adipocytes. In this study, we investigated the role of apoE in the human adipocyte response to oxidative stress. We first demonstrated that apoE secretion by adipocytes was stimulated by oxidative stress. We also observed that apoE overexpression protected adipocytes from hydrogen peroxide-induced damages, by mitigating intracellular oxidation and exerting extracellular antioxidant properties. Our findings clearly show a novel antioxidant role for apoE in adipose tissue.

Abstract
High levels of oxidative stress were reported in obesity-linked type 2 diabetes and were associated with elevated formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Many studies have focused on the effect of antioxidants on vascular and circulating cells such as macrophages. However, despite the major role of adipocytes in the etiology of diabetes, little is known about the effect of natural antioxidants on adipocyte response to oxidative stress. The present study reports the differential protective effects of plant nutrients toward adipose cells subjected to oxidative stress. Caffeic acid, quercetin, L: -ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol were tested on SW872 liposarcoma cells subjected to a free radical generator or to AGEs. Proliferation, viability, free radical formation, and superoxide dismutase expression were assessed in treated cells. Caffeic acid and quercetin appeared as the most potent antioxidant nutrients. Our findings clearly show a novel antioxidant role for caffeic acid and quercetin at the adipose tissue level. These new data confirm the beneficial role of phytotherapy as an interesting alternative mean for the development of novel therapeutical and nutritional strategy to prevent metabolic disorders inherent to obesity-linked diabetes.

The role of the thiol group in protein modification with methylglyoxal. JOURNAL OF THE SERBIAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 2009.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal is a highly reactive ?-oxoaldehyde with elevated production in hyperglycemia. It reacts with nucleophilic Lys and Arg side-chains and N-terminal amino groups causing protein modification. In the present study, the importance of the reaction of the Cys thiol group with methylglyoxal in protein modification, the competitiveness of this reaction with those of amino and guanidine groups, the time course of these reactions and their role and contribution to protein cross-linking were investigated. Human and bovine serum albumins were used as model systems. It was found that despite the very low levels of thiol groups on the surface of the examined protein molecules (approx. 80 times lower than those of amino and guanidino groups), a very high percentage of it reacts (25-85 %). The amount of reacted thiol groups and the rate of the reaction, the time for the reaction to reach equilibrium, the formation of a stable product and the contribution of thiol groups to protein cross-linking depend on the methylglyoxal concentration. The product formed in the reaction of thiol and an insufficient quantity of methylglyoxal (compared to the concentrations of the groups accessible for modification) participates to a significant extent (4 %) to protein cross-linking. Metformin applied in equimolar concentration with methylglyoxal prevents its reaction with amino and guanidino groups but, however, not with thiol groups.
