Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carbamylation is a nonenzymatic post-translational modification of proteins characterized by the binding of isocyanic acid to amino groups of proteins, which leads to the alteration of their properties. An increase in serum carbamylation-derived products, including homocitrulline (HCit), has been shown to be associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases. METHODS HCit was quantified by LC-MS/MS within extracts of aneurysmal and control human aortas. A mouse model of aortic aneurysm (ApoE-/- mice perfused with angiotensin II and fed with sodium cyanate) was used to evaluate the role of carbamylation in aneurysm development. RESULTS HCit quantification showed a greater heterogeneity of values in aneurysmal aortas in comparison with control ones. At the maximum diameter of dilation, HCit values were significantly higher (+94%, p < 0.05) compared with less dilated areas. No differences were observed according to aneurysm size or when comparing ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. No significant effect of carbamylation on aneurysm development was observed using the animal model. CONCLUSIONS These results evidenced the accumulation of HCit within aneurysmal aortas but do not allow concluding about the exact participation of protein carbamylation in the development of human abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Abstract
We have investigated the impact of obesity on the structural organization, morpho-mechanical properties of collagen fibers from rat tail tendon fascicles (RTTFs). Polarized Raman microspectroscopy showed that the collagen bands 855, 875, 938, and 960 cm-1 as well as those 1631 and 1660 cm-1 were affected by diet. Mechanical properties exhibited an increase in the yield strength from control (CTRL) to high fat (HF) diet (9.60 ± 1.71 and 13.09 ± 1.81 MPa) (p < 0.01) and ultimate tensile strength (13.12 ± 2.37 and 18.32 ± 2.83 MPa) (p < 0.05) with no significant change in the Young's Modulus. During mechanical, the band at 875 cm-1 exhibited the most relevant frequency shift (2 cm-1). The intensity of those at 855, 875, and 938 cm-1 in HF collagen displayed a comparable response to mechanical stress as compared to CTRL collagen with no significant diet-related changes in the Full Width at Half Maximum. Second harmonic generation technique revealed i) similar fiber straightness (0.963 ± 0.004 and 0.965 ± 0.003) and ii) significant changes in fibers diameter (1.48 ± 0.07 and 1.52 ± 0.08 μm) (p < 0.05) and length (22.06 ± 2.38 and 29.00 ± 3.76 μm) (p < 0.001) between CTRL and HF diet, respectively. The quantification of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) revealed an increase in both carboxymethyl-lysine and total fluorescence AGEs from CTRL to HF RTTFs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Carboxymethyllysine (CML) and homocitrulline (HCit) are the products of two non-enzymatic post-translational modifications of protein, a process related to age. We investigated whether serum CML and HCit concentrations were associated with hand osteoarthritis (HOA), especially erosive HOA. DESIGN Serum CML and HCit were measured by using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry at inclusion in 386 patients included in the DIGICOD cohort. We investigated whether serum CML and/or HCit concentrations were associated with erosive HOA or with HOA clinical and radiological features. Moreover, we compared the tissular concentrations of CML and HCit in OA and non-OA cartilage from proximal interphalangeal and metacarpo-phalangeal (MCP) joints from human cadaveric donors. RESULTS Median (IQR) serum CML concentration was lower in patients with erosive HOA than those with non-erosive HOA (178.7 [157.1-208.8] vs 194.7 [168.9-217.1] μmol/mol Lys, p=0.002), but median HCit concentration did not differ between the groups (193.9 [162.9-232.0] vs 193.9 [155.9-224.6] μmol/mol Lys). Cartilage HCit and CML concentrations were not correlated with clinical features. Serum CML concentration was higher in OA than non-OA MCPs (7.0 vs 4.0 mmol/mol Lys, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Serum CML concentration was lower in erosive HOA than non-erosive HOA, and cartilage CML concentration was higher in OA than non-OA cartilage. These results encourage further studies to test whether serum CML could be a new prognostic biomarker in HOA.

Abstract
The main propose of this study is to characterize the impact of chronological aging on mechanical, structural, biochemical, and morphological properties of type I collagen. We have developed an original approach combining a stress-strain measurement device with a portable Raman spectrometer to enable simultaneous measurement of Raman spectra during stress vs strain responses of young adult, adult and old rat tail tendon fascicles (RTTFs). Our data showed an increase in all mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength with aging. At the molecular level, Raman data revealed that the most relevant frequency shift was observed at 938 cm-1 in Old RTTFs, which is assigned to the C-C. This suggested a long axis deformation of the peptide chains in Old RTTFs during tensile stress. In addition, the intensity of the band at 872 cm-1, corresponding to hydroxyproline decreased for young adult RTTFs and increased for the adult ones, while it remained unchanged for Old RTTFs during tensile stress. The amide III band (1242 and 1265 cm-1) as well as the band ratios I1631/ I1663 and I1645 / I1663 responses to tensile stress were depending on mechanical phases (toe, elastic and plastic). The quantification of advanced glycation end-products by LC-MS/MS and spectrofluorometry showed an increase in their content with aging. This suggested that the accumulation of such products was correlated to the alterations observed in the mechanical and molecular properties of RTTFs. Analysis of the morphological properties of RTTFs by SHG combined with CT-FIRE software revealed an increase in length and straightness of collagen fibers, whereas their width and wavy fraction decreased. Our integrated study model could be useful to provide additional translational information to monitor progression of diseases related to collagen remodeling in musculoskeletal disorders. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Type I collagen is the major component of the extracellular matrix. Its architectural and structural organization plays an important role in the mechanical properties of many tissues at the physiological and pathological levels. The objective of this work is to develop an integrated approach to bring a new insight on the impact of chronological aging on the structural organization and mechanical properties of type I collagen. We combined a portable Raman spectrometer with a mechanical tensile testing device in order to monitor in real time the changes in the Raman fingerprint of type I collagen fibers during the mechanical stress. Raman spectroscopy allowed the identification of the type I collagen bonds that were affected by mechanical stress in a differential manner with aging.

Abstract
Carbamylation, which corresponds to the binding of isocyanic acid to the amino groups of proteins, is a nonenzymatic post-translational modification responsible for alterations of protein structural and functional properties. Tissue accumulation of carbamylation-derived products and their role in pathological processes such as atherosclerosis or chronic renal failure have been previously documented. However, few studies have focused on the carbamylation of intracellular proteins and their subsequent role in cellular aging. This study aimed to determine the extent of intracellular protein carbamylation, its impact on cell functions and the ability of cells to degrade these modified proteins. Fibroblasts were incubated with cyanate or urea and the carbamylation level was evaluated by immunostaining and homocitrulline quantification. The results showed that carbamylated proteins accumulated intracellularly and that all proteins were susceptible. The presence of intracellular carbamylated proteins did not modify cell proliferation or type I collagen synthesis nor did it induce cell senescence, but it significantly decreased cell motility. Fibroblasts were able to degrade carbamylated proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. In conclusion, intracellular proteins are susceptible to carbamylation but their accumulation does not seem to deeply affect cell function, owing largely to their elimination by the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
