Cation exchange HPLC analysis of desmosines in elastin hydrolysates
Desmosine crosslinks are responsible for the elastic properties of connective tissues in lungs and cardiovascular system and are often compromised in disease states. We developed a new, fast, and simple cation exchange HPLC assay for the analysis of desmosine and isodesmosine in animal elastin. The method was validated by determining linearity, accuracy, precision, and desmosines stability and ...
متن کاملBiosynthetic Pathway of Desmosines in Elastin By GILLIAN FRANCIS, RHYS JOHN and JOHN THOMAS
1. Elastins purified by various methods from the ligamentum nuchae and the lungs of cattle of various ages were analysed for amino acid compositions and lysine-derived cross-links. 2. In fully mature elastins from adults the main cross-links were desmosine, isodesmosine and lysinonorleucine and the so-called aldol-condensation product. Trace amounts of merodesmosine were also found. 3. During t...
متن کاملDemonstration of a precursor-product relationship between soluble and cross-linked elastin, and the biosynthesis of the desmosines in vitro.
Direct evidence showing that a soluble form of elastin is the precursor of cross-linked elastin was obtained from pulse-chase experiments using chick embryo aortas and by demonstrating the conversion of soluble elastin into cross-linked elastin in a cell-free system. Acetic acid extracts of embryonic chick aorta pulse-labeled with [14C]lysine contain two radioactive proteins of molecular weight...
متن کاملElastin cross-linking in vitro. Studies on factors influencing the formation of desmosines by lysyl oxidase action on tropoelastin.
The formation of isodesmosine and desmosine in vitro by the action of lysyl oxidase on tropoelastin was studied. The synthesis of desmosines occurred in the absence of additional substances. The formation of desmosines was not affected by removal of molecular O2 from the reaction medium nor was it affected by the lack of proline hydroxylation in tropoelastin. However, there was virtually no des...
متن کاملA novel anti-ageing mechanism for retinol: induction of dermal elastin synthesis and elastin fibre formation.
Dermal elastic fibres are extracellular matrix protein complexes produced by fibroblasts and involved in skin elasticity. Elastin fibres decrease with age as a result of reduced synthesis and increased degradation, resulting in skin sagging and reduced skin elasticity. In this study, we show that retinol (ROL), known to enhance dermal collagen production, is also enhancing elastin fibre formati...
