Cím:Homocysteine metabolism in peripheral blood mononuclear cells : evidence for cystathionine beta-synthase activity in resting state / Katkó Mónika, Zavaczky Erzsébet, Jeney Viktória, Paragh György, Balla József, Varga Zsuzsa

Megjegyzések:Activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) release homocysteine and possess cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) activity; however, it was thought that there is no CBS in resting state. Previously, we found that nickel decreased intracellular homocysteine concentration in un-stimulated (e.g. resting) PBMC, suggesting that resting PBMC might also have active homocysteine metabolism. Here, we demonstrated that un-stimulated PBMC synthesize (incorporate L: -[methyl-(14)C]methionine to DNA, lipids and proteins), release (increase extracellular homocysteine), and metabolize homocysteine. Intracellular homocysteine concentration varied with incubation time, depending on extracellular concentrations of methionine, homocysteine, and glutathione. Methionine synthase activity was constant and independent of thiol concentrations. In Western blot, CBS protein was clearly identified in freshly isolated PBMC. CBS protein level and activity increased with incubation time, upon stimulation, and similar to intracellular homocysteine, depending on intra- and extracellular homocysteine and glutathione concentrations. According to our knowledge, this is the first evidence that certifies homocysteine metabolism and regulatory role of CBS activity to keep balanced intracellular homocysteine level in resting PBMC. Homocysteine, released by PBMC, in turn can modulate its functions contributing to the development of hyperhomocysteinemia-induced diseases.

Cím:Hydrogen sulfide inhibits the calcification and osteoblastic differentation of vascular smooth muscle cells / Erzsebet Zavaczki, Viktoria Jeney, Anupam Agarwal, Abolfazl Zarjou, Melinda Oros, Monika Katko, Zsuzsa Varga, Gyorgy Balla, Jozsef Balla

Megjegyzések:Osteoblastic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is involved in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas endogenously produced by cystathionine gamma-lyase in VSMC. Here we determined whether H2S plays a role in phosphate-induced osteoblastic transformation and mineralization of VSMC. Hydrogen sulfide was found to inhibit calcium deposition in the extracellular matrix and to suppress the induction of the genes involved in osteoblastic transformation of VSMC: alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and Cbfa1. Moreover, phosphate uptake and phosphate-triggered upregulation of the sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (Pit-1) were also prevented by H2S. Reduction of endogenous production of H2S by inhibition of cystathionine gamma-lyase activity resulted in increased osteoblastic transformation and mineralization. Low plasma levels of H2S, associated with decreased cystathionine gamma-lyase enzyme activity, were found in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis. Thus, H2S is a potent inhibitor of phosphate-induced calcification and osteoblastic differentiation of VSMC. This mechanism might contribute to accelerated vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease.
