“…Furthermore, the present data suggest that the rate of a generally occurring aging process (i.e., AGE formation occurs in all tissue but is especially important in tissue with slow turnover, such as articular cartilage [18]) may predispose to the development of an agerelated pathology such as OA. These data are consistent with the observations of Sell et al (57,58), who showed an inverse relationship between the rate of glycation and the longevity of a species, which further supports the idea that AGE accumulation is an important process in aging and age-related diseases.…”

Objective. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent and disabling chronic conditions affecting the elderly. Its etiology is largely unknown, but age is the most prominent risk factor. The current study was designed to test whether accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are known to adversely affect cartilage turnover and mechanical properties, provides a molecular mechanism by which aging contributes to the development of OA.Methods. The hypothesis that elevated AGE levels predispose to the development of OA was tested in the canine anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) model of experimental OA. Cartilage AGE levels were enhanced in young dogs by intraarticular injections of ribose. This mimics the accumulation of AGEs without the interference of other age-related changes. The severity of OA was then assessed 7 weeks after ACLT surgery in dogs with normal versus enhanced AGE levels.Results. Intraarticular injections of ribose enhanced cartilage AGE levels ϳ5-fold, which is similar to the normal increase that is observed in old dogs. ACLT surgery resulted in more-pronounced OA in dogs with enhanced AGE levels. This was observed as increased collagen damage and enhanced release of proteoglycans. The attempt to repair the matrix damage was impaired; proteoglycan synthesis and retention were decreased at enhanced AGE levels. Mankin grading of histology sections also revealed more-severe OA in animals with enhanced AGE levels.Conclusion. These findings demonstrate increased severity of OA at higher cartilage AGE levels and provide the first in vivo experimental evidence for a molecular mechanism by which aging may predispose to the development of OA.The population of Western society is aging rapidly. Consequently, age-related diseases will increase greatly over the coming decades and will have a great impact on the quality of life of the elderly. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent and disabling chronic conditions affecting the elderly and poses a significant public health problem (1). The most prominent feature of OA is the progressive destruction of articular cartilage, resulting in impaired joint motion, severe pain, and, ultimately, disability (2). As yet, the etiology of OA remains largely unknown. The incidence of OA increases with age: Ͼ50% of the population over 60 years of age is affected (3,4). Although age is identified as the main risk factor for the development of OA, the mechanism by which aging is involved remains unclear. Age-related changes in the articular cartilage are expected to play an important role in the susceptibility of cartilage to OA.Articular cartilage derives its mechanical properties from its extracellular matrix. This matrix is composed of type II collagen, which forms a 3-dimensional network that provides the cartilage with resistance to tensile forces (5).

Low glutathione levels are associated with crystallin oxidation in age-related nuclear cataract. To understand the role of cysteine residue oxidation, we used the novel approach of comparing human cataracts with glutathionedepleted LEGSKO mouse lenses for intra-versus intermolecular disulfide crosslinks using 2D-PAGE and proteomics, and then systematically identified in vivo and in vitro all disulfide forming sites using ICAT labeling method coupled with proteomics. Crystallins rich in intramolecular disulfides were abundant at young age in human and WT mouse lens but shifted to multimeric intermolecular disulfides at older age. The shift was 4x accelerated in LEGSKO lens. Most cysteine disulfides in β-crystallins (except βA4 in human) were highly conserved in mouse and human and could be generated by oxidation with H 2 O 2 , whereas γ-crystallin oxidation selectively affected γC23/42/79/80/154, γD42/33, and γS83/115/130 in human cataracts, and γB79/80/110, γD19/109, γF19/79, γE19, γS83/130, and γN26/128 in mouse. Analysis based on available crystal structure suggests that conformational changes are needed to expose Cys42, Cys79/80, Cys154 in γC; Cys42, Cys33 in γD, and Cys83, Cys115, and Cys130 in γS. In conclusion, the β-crystallin disulfidome is highly conserved in age-related nuclear cataract and LEGSKO mouse, and reproducible by in vitro oxidation, whereas some of the disulfide formation sites in γ-crystallins necessitate prior conformational changes. Overall, the LEGSKO mouse model is closely reminiscent of age- Aging lens crystallins accumulate post-synthetic modifications that can be broadly classified into three categories, namely (1) protein backbone changes, such as racemization and truncation (1-3), (2) conversion of one amino acid into another, such as deamidation of asparagine into aspartate or deguanidination of arginine into ornithine, deamination of lysine into allysine and 2-aminoadipic acid (4 -6), and (3) amino acid residue damage from reactive carbonyls and reactive oxygen species (7,8). Carbonyl damage results from the Maillard Reaction by glucose, methylglyoxal, or oxidation products of ascorbate, tryptophan or lipids which form adducts and crosslinks with nucleophilic group of lysine, arginine and cysteine. Examples include carboxymethyl-lysine, pentosidine, methylglyoxal hydroimidazolones, HNE-cysteine adducts and kynurenine (7,9 -12). Oxidative damage results from reactive oxygen species that directly damage amino acid residues, e.g. oxidizing tryptophan into N-formyl kynurenine and kynurenine, methionine into its sulfoxide, and cysteine into cysteine disulfides or cysteic acid (13)(14)(15).Because of their relevance to age-related cataract, the impact of each of these modifications on crystallin structure and stability is the subject of intense investigation. Importantly, Benedek proposed that high molecular weight (HMW) 1 crystallin aggregates the size of 50 million daltons are needed in order for lens opacification to be visible (16,17). Crystallin aggregation conceivably occurs by o...

The extracellular matrix in most tissues is characterized by progressive age-related stiffening and loss of proteolytic digestibility that are accelerated in diabetes and can be duplicated by the nonenzymatic reaction of reducing sugars and extracellular matrix proteins. However, most cross-links of the Maillard reaction described so far are present in quantities too low to account for these changes. Here we have determined in human skin and glomerular basement membrane (GBM) collagen the levels of the recently discovered lysinearginine cross-links derived from glucose, methylglyoxal, glyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone, i.e. glucosepane, MODIC, GODIC, and DOGDIC, respectively. Insoluble preparations of skin collagen (n ‫؍‬ 110) and glomerular basement membrane (GBM, n ‫؍‬ 28) were enzymatically digested, and levels were measured by isotope dilution technique using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. In skin, all cross-links increased with age (p < 0.0001) except DOGDIC (p ‫؍‬ 0.34). In nondiabetic controls, levels at 90 years were 2000, 30, and 15 pmol/mg for glucosepane, MODIC, and GODIC, respectively. Diabetes, but not renal failure, increased glucosepane to 5000 pmol/mg (p < 0.0001), and for all others, increased it to <60 pmol/mg (p < 0.01). In GBMs, glucosepane reached up to 500 pmol/mg of collagen and was increased in diabetes (p < 0.0001) but not old age. In conclusion, glucosepane is the single major cross-link of the senescent extracellular matrix discovered so far, accounting for up to >120 mole% of triple helical collagen modification in diabetes. Its presence in high quantities may contribute to a number of structural and cell matrix dysfunctions observed in aging and diabetes.Reducing sugars react nonenzymatically with proteins to form adducts and cross-links referred to as advanced glycation end products (1). Their accumulation is particularly high in long-lived proteins, such as lens crystallins and collagen, and results in intra-and intermolecular cross-linking. The latter has been hypothesized to result in an age-and diabetes-related stiffening of collagenous tissues and is believed to play an important role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (3) as well as the loss of elasticity in lungs, joints, and skin (4 -6). These age-related processes are markedly accelerated by diabetes and are associated with morbidity and mortality in diabetic individuals (7,8). In skin, protein crosslinking is associated with an age-related loss of elasticity, increased stiffening, and wrinkling (9). However, this process occurs ubiquitously with age, suggesting a fundamental underlying mechanism.Although most of the age-related changes in the extracellular matrix could be duplicated by incubating reducing sugars with proteins, Eble et al. (10) suggested that the major cross-links are not stable to conventional conditions of acid hydrolysis. Indeed, Biemel et al. (11) recently showed that glucose and sugar-derived dicarbonyl intermediates react with human serum albumin to form various acid...
