Impact of Fibrinogen Carbamylation on Fibrin Clot Formation and Stability
Carbamylation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification induced upon exposure of free amino groups to urea-derived cyanate leading to irreversible changes of protein charge, structure and function. Levels of carbamylated proteins increase significantly in chronic kidney disease and carbamylated albumin is considered as an important biomarker indicating mortality risk. High plasma conce...
متن کاملApocynin inhibits peroxynitrite formation by murine macrophages.
Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) the highly reactive coupling product of nitric oxide and superoxide, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of an increasing number of (inflammatory) diseases. At present, however, selective peroxynitrite antagonizing agents with therapeutic potential are not available. Therefore, the NADPH-oxidase inhibitor apocynin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-acetophenone) was tested for its...
متن کاملFibrinogen amyloidosis: the clot thickens!
In this issue of Blood, Stangou et al discuss a possible role for hepatorenal transplantation in the management of patients with fibrinogen amyloidosis, based on a detailed evaluation of 22 patients, the largest group to date.1 The authors also considerably expand the current phenotypic description of fibrinogen amyloidosis, including their interpretation of previously unrecognized disease mani...
متن کاملReaction of superoxide and nitric oxide with peroxynitrite. Implications for peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation reactions in vivo.
Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)/ONOOH), the product of the diffusion-limited reaction of nitric oxide (*NO) with superoxide (O(-*)(2)), has been implicated as an important mediator of tissue injury during conditions associated with enhanced *NO and O(-*)(2) production. Although several groups of investigators have demonstrated substantial oxidizing and cytotoxic activities of chemically synthesized pero...
متن کاملPeroxynitrite-mediated lipid oxidation and nitration: mechanisms and consequences.
Lipid oxidation and nitration represents a novel area of research of relevance in the understanding of inflammatory processes. Peroxynitrite, the product of the diffusion-limited reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide anion, mediates oxidative modifications in lipid systems including cell membranes and lipoproteins. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of lipid oxidation and nitratio...
