چکیده

Carbonic anhydrase XII (CA XII) is a transmembrane enzyme that is associated with neoplastic growth. CA XII has been proposed to be involved in acidification of the extracellular milieu, creating an appropriate microenvironment for rapid tumor growth. Because RNA sequence databases have indicated that two isoforms of CA XII might exist in human tissues, and because alternatively spliced protein forms have been linked to aggressive behavior of cancer cells, we designed a study to evaluate the presence of the two forms of CA XII in diffuse astrocytomas, a tumor type known for its aggressive and often noncurable behavior. Reverse transcription PCR of tumor samples surprisingly revealed that CA XII present in diffuse astrocytomas is mainly encoded by a shorter mRNA variant. We further showed by Western blotting that anti-CA XII antibody recognized both isoforms in the glioblastoma cell lines, and we then evaluated the expression of CA XII in astrocytomas using immunohistochemistry and correlated the results with various clinicopathological and molecular factors. Of 370 diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas, 363 cases (98%) showed immunoreactions for CA XII. Importantly, CA XII expression correlated with poorer patient prognosis in univariate (p = 0.010, log-rank test) and multivariate survival analyses (p = 0.039, Cox analysis). From these results, we conclude that CA XII is commonly expressed in diffuse astrocytomas and that it might be used as a biomarker of poor prognosis. The absence of 11 amino acids in the shorter isoform, which seems to be common in astrocytomas, may affect the normal quaternary structure and biological function of CA XII.

Expression of carbonic anhydrase IX in astrocytic tumors predicts poor prognosis.

PURPOSE Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a hypoxia-inducible enzyme, which is associated with neoplastic growth. Ectopic CA IX expression has been observed in several tumors, whose normal counterparts do not express this enzyme. Normal human brain tissue shows only slight or no expression of CA IX. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We describe CA IX expression in human diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas. ...

6-Substituted 1,2-benzoxathiine-2,2-dioxides are isoform-selective inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrases IX, XII and VA.

A series of 6-substituted 2-benzoxathiine-2,2-dioxides were synthesized starting from 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and then screened in vitro for their inhibition properties against five human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms. All the compounds showed excellent selectivity against the mitochondrial (hCA VA) and the tumor associated (hCA IX and XII) enzymes.

A Class of 4-Sulfamoylphenyl-ω-aminoalkyl Ethers with Effective Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitory Action and Antiglaucoma Effects

We report a series of 4-sulfamoylphenyl-ω-aminoalkyl ethers as carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors. The structure-activity relationship was drawn for the inhibition of four physiologically relevant isoforms: hCA I, II, IX, and XII. Many of these compounds were highly effective, low nanomolar inhibitors of all CA isoforms, whereas several isoform-selective were also identified. X-ray ...

Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase isoforms I, II, IV, VII and XII with carboxylates and sulfonamides incorporating phthalimide/phthalic anhydride scaffolds.

We report a panel of carboxylates and sulfonamides incorporating phthalic anhydride and phthalimide moieties in their structure and their interaction with the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). They were synthesized from substituted anthranilic acids and trimellitic anhydride chloride, followed by reaction with primary amines and were tested for the inhibition of five physiologi...

Study of Glycation Process of Human Carbonic Anhydrase II and Investigation of Effect of Fasting On Enzyme Activity by Using Spectroscopic Methods

Background: Glycation is the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl groups in sugar and free amino groups in proteins. this reaction leads to changes in structure and functions of proteins. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is the final stage in this process, which is highly oxidizing and destructive nature, causing many diabetic complications. Methods: In the present investigation, ...
