Recent topics in chemical and clinical research on glycated albumin.

ABSTRACT: The measuring method for glycated albumin (GA) has been developed as a new glycemic control marker since the beginning of the 21st century. Since GA has an advantage in reflecting glycemic status over a shorter period than hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), much research and many reviews have been reported. However, so far there have been few reports on glycation sites based on the tertiary structure of human serum albumin (HSA) and the comparison of glycation rates between GA and HbA1c in detail. The present review discusses how the glycation sites of lysine residues in HSA are modified with glucose, whereas the glycation sites of lysine residues are located inside of HSA as well as the direct comparison of glycation rates between GA and HbA1c using human blood. Moreover, the most recent clinical researches on GA are described.

Hot Topics in Recent Parkinson's Disease Research: Where We are and Where We Should Go.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, is clinically characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Although overall great achievements have been made in elucidating the etiology and pathogenesis of PD, the exact mechanisms of this complicated systemic disease are still far from being clearly understood. Consequently, most of the currently-used diagnostic tools and therapeutic options for PD are symptomatic. In this perspective review, we highlight the hot topics in recent PD research for both clinicians and researchers. Some of these hot topics, such as sleep disorders and gut symptoms, have been neglected but are currently emphasized due to their close association with PD. Following these research directions in future PD research may help understand the nature of the disease and facilitate the discovery of new strategies for the diagnosis and therapy of PD.

Recent Topics in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.

Project description:Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disease that is characterized by the formation of heterotopic bone tissues in soft tissues, such as skeletal muscle, ligament, and tendon. It is difficult to remove such heterotopic bones via internal medicine or invasive procedures. The identification of activin A receptor, type I (ACVR1)/ALK2 gene mutations associated with FOP has allowed the genetic diagnosis of FOP. The ACVR1/ALK2 gene encodes the ALK2 protein, which is a transmembrane kinase receptor in the transforming growth factor-? family. The relevant mutations activate intracellular signaling in vitro and induce heterotopic bone formation in vivo. Activin A is a potential ligand that activates mutant ALK2 but not wild-type ALK2. Various types of small chemical and biological inhibitors of ALK2 signaling have been developed to establish treatments for FOP. Some of these are in clinical trials in patients with FOP.

Genes, molecules and patients--emerging topics to guide clinical pain research.

Project description:This review selectively explores some areas of pain research that, until recently, have been poorly understood. We have chosen four topics that relate to clinical pain and we discuss the underlying mechanisms and related pathophysiologies contributing to these pain states. A key issue in pain medicine involves crucial events and mediators that contribute to normal and abnormal pain signaling, but remain unseen without genetic, biomarker or imaging analysis. Here we consider how the altered genetic make-up of familial pains reveals the human importance of channels discovered by preclinical research, followed by the contribution of receptors as stimulus transducers in cold sensing and cold pain. Finally we review recent data on the neuro-immune interactions in chronic pain and the potential targets for treatment in cancer-induced bone pain.

Electrochemical Quantification of Glycated and Non-glycated Human Serum Albumin in Synthetic Urine.

Project description:A polymer-based electrode capable of specific detection of human serum albumin, and its glycated derivatives, is described. The sensor is constructed from a glass microscope slide coated with a synthesized, polythiophene film bearing a protected, iminodiacetic acid motif. The electrode surface is then further elaborated to a functional biosensor through deprotection of the iminodiacetic acid, followed by metal-affinity immobilization of a specific and high-affinity, albumin ligand. Albumin was then quantified in buffer and synthetic urine via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Glycated albumin was next bound to a boronic acid-modified, single-cysteine dihydrofolate reductase variant to quantify glycation ratios by square-wave voltammetry. The platform offers high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility in an inexpensive arrangement. The detection limits exceed the requirements for intermediate-term glycemic control monitoring in diabetes patients at 5 and 1 nM for albumin and its glycated forms, respectively.

Essential updates 2017/2018: Recent topics in the treatment and research of gastric cancer in Japan.

Project description:Recent developments in diagnostic technology, accumulated clinical effort and established evidence have boosted early detection and drastically improved early and long-term outcomes of gastric cancer. However, gastric cancer continues to be one of the most aggressive and life-threatening malignancies among all cancers and is a global health problem. Between January 2017 and December 2018, various fascinating reports of managements and research were published, including the new 15th Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma reflecting the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) classification (October 2017) and the new Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines version 5 (January 2018). Moreover, pivotal molecular features of gastric cancer were clarified by the worldwide cancer genome project, and various treatment targets and biomarkers such as circulating DNAs and microRNAs were detected. Novel treatment options using programmed cell death protein 1 immune checkpoint inhibitors have been started. In this review, we summarize the recent topics of classification, guidelines, and clinical and basic research in order to bring new insights to gastric cancer treatment.

Glycated albumin precipitation using aptamer conjugated magnetic nanoparticles.

Project description:To develop a strategy for the elimination of prefibrillar amyloid aggregates, a three-step non-modified DNA aptamer conjugation on silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles was carried out to achieve aptamer conjugated on MNP (Ap-SiMNP). Prefibrillar amyloid aggregates are generated under a diabetic condition which are prominently participated in developing diabetic complications. The binding properties of candidate DNA aptamer against serum albumin prefibrillar amyloid aggregates (AA20) were verified using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) analysis. The chloro-functionalized silica-coated MNPs were synthesized then a nano-targeting structure as aptamer conjugated on MNP (Ap-SiMNP) was constructed. Finally, Ap-SiMNP was verified for specific binding efficiency and AA20 removal using an external magnetic field. The candidate aptamer showed a high binding capacity at EMSA and SPR analysis (KD = 3.4 × 10─9 M) and successfully used to construct Ap-SiMNP. Here, we show a proof of concept for an efficient bio-scavenger as Ap-SiMNP to provide a promising opportunity to consider as a possible strategy to overcome some diabetic complications through specific binding/removal of toxic AA20 species.

Quantification of glycated human serum albumin peptides

Project description:Human serum albumin is the most abundant plasma protein with a large number of lysine and arginine residues. Hence, it is highly susceptible to glycation in vivo. In hyperglycemic conditions, such as diabetes, the level of HSA glycation increases. Here we quantified glycated HSA peptides in a subject population of healthy and type 2 diabetes with and without nephropathy to assess its performance for the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy compared to HbA1c.

Quantification and Improvement of the Dynamics of Human Serum Albumin and Glycated Human Serum Albumin with Astaxanthin/Astaxanthin-Metal Ion Complexes: Physico-Chemical and Computational Approaches.

Project description:Glycated human serum albumin (gHSA) undergoes conformational changes and unfolding events caused by free radicals. The glycation process results in a reduced ability of albumin to act as an endogenous scavenger and transporter protein in diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) patients. Astaxanthin (ASX) in native form and complexed with metal ions (Cu2+ and Zn2+) has been shown to prevent gHSA from experiencing unfolding events. Furthermore, it improves protein stability of gHSA and human serum albumin (HSA) as it is shown through molecular dynamics studies. In this study, the ASX/ASX-metal ion complexes were reacted with both HSA/gHSA and analyzed with electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, rheology and zeta sizer (particle size and zeta potential) analysis, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometer measurements, as well as molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular docking calculations. The addition of metal ions to ASX improves its ability to act as an antioxidant and both ASX or ASX-metal ion complexes maintain HSA and gHSA stability while performing their functions.

Inverse association between glycated albumin and insulin secretory function may explain higher levels of glycated albumin in subjects with longer duration of diabetes.

Project description:BackgroundGlycated albumin (GA) has been increasingly used as a reliable index for short-term glycemic monitoring, and is inversely associated with ?-cell function. Because the pathophysiologic nature of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by progressive decline in insulin secretion, the aim was to determine whether GA levels were affected by diabetes duration in subjects with T2D.MethodsTo minimize the effect of glucose variability on GA, subjects with stably maintained HbA1c levels of <0.5% fluctuation across 6 months of measurements were included. Patients with newly diagnosed T2D (n?=?1059) and with duration>1 year (n?=?781) were recruited and categorized as New-T2D and Old-T2D, respectively. Biochemical, glycemic, and C-peptide parameters were measured.ResultsGA levels were significantly elevated in HbA1c-matched Old-T2D subjects compared to New-T2D subjects. Duration of diabetes was positively correlated with GA, whereas a negative relationship was found with C-peptide increment (?C-peptide). Among insulin secretory indices, dynamic parameters such as ?C-peptide were inversely related to GA (r?=?-0.42, p<0.001). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that duration of diabetes was associated with GA (standardized ? coefficient [STD?]?=?0.05, p<0.001), but not with HbA1c (STD??=?0.04, p<0.095). This association disappeared after additional adjustment with ?C-peptide (STD??=?0.02, p?=?0.372), suggesting that ?-cell function might be a linking factor of close relationship between duration of diabetes and GA values.ConclusionsThe present study showed that GA levels were significantly increased in subjects with longer duration T2D and with decreased insulin secretory function. Additional caution should be taken when interpreting GA values to assess glycemic control status in these individuals.
