Characterization of WY 14,643 and its Complex with Aldose Reductase
نویسندگان
چکیده
The peroxisome proliferator, WY 14,643 exhibits a pure non-competitive inhibition pattern in the aldehyde reduction and in alcohol oxidation activities of human Aldose reductase (hAR). Fluorescence emission measurements of the equilibrium dissociation constants, Kd, of oxidized (hAR•NADP+) and reduced (hAR•NADPH) holoenzyme complexes display a 2-fold difference between them. Kd values for the dissociation of WY 14,643 from the oxidized (hAR•NADP+•WY 14,643) and reduced (hAR•NADPH•WY 14,643) ternary complexes are comparable to each other. The ternary complex structure of hAR•NADP+•WY 14,643 reveals the first structural evidence of a fibrate class drug binding to hAR. These observations demonstrate how fibrate molecules such as WY 14,643, besides being valued as agonists for PPAR, also inhibit hAR.

متن کاملA role for PPARalpha in the control of SREBP activity and lipid synthesis in the liver.
Inclusion of the PPARalpha (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor alpha) activator WY 14,643 in the diet of normal mice stimulated the hepatic expression of not only genes of the fatty acid oxidation pathway, but also those of the de novo lipid synthetic pathways. Induction of fatty acid synthase mRNA by WY 14,643 was greater during the light phase of the diurnal cycle, when food intake wa...
متن کاملKupffer cells are causally responsible for the mitogenic effect of peroxisome proliferators.
WY-14,643 [4-chloro-6-(2,3-xylidino)pyrimidinylthio-acetic acid] is a well-known non-genotoxic carcinogen and peroxisome proliferator that causes liver cancer in rodents by unknown mechanisms. Its ability to sustain elevated rates of hepatocyte DNA synthesis is most likely pivotal in the ultimate development of tumors. The source of this mitogenic stimulus following treatment of rats with WY-14...

In order to characterize the promoting activity of the peroxisome proliferator [4-chloro-6-(2,3-xylidino)-2-pyrimidinylthio]acetic acid (WY-14,463), male F344 rats which received a single 150-mg/kg dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) were fed 0.1% WY-14,643 or 0.05% phenobarbital in the diet for 11, 22, or 54 wk. WY-14,643 promoted the development of ATPase-deficient foci but not GGTase-positive o...
متن کاملCentral role of PPARalpha-dependent hepatic lipid turnover in dietary steatohepatitis in mice.
We have proposed that steatohepatitis results from reactive oxygen species (ROS) acting on accumulated fatty acids to form proinflammatory lipoperoxides. Cytochrome P450 4a (Cyp4a) and Cyp2e1 are potential hepatic sources of ROS. We tested the hypothesis that increasing Cyp4a through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) should aggravate steatohepatitis prod...
