Urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in rabbits after excessive ingestion of fluoride.

Urinary levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and hydroxyproline from normal and fluoride treated rabbits were estimated. The hydroxylysine content of serum and urine of rabbits after excessive ingestion of fluoride was also investigated. There was a progressive decrease in GAG content, reduction in hydroxylysine, whereas the hydroxyproline content was increased after fluoride ingestion. Enhanced hydroxyproline in urinary excretion is due to collagen breakdown after fluoride ingestion. The reduction in hydroxylysine content is due to reduced collagen cross-link formation. The report suggests the possibility of using the urinary levels of GAG or hydroxyproline or hydroxylysine as an index of fluoride intoxication.

Pre-column derivatization and its optimum conditions for quantitative determination of urinary hydroxylysine glycosides by high-performance liquid chromatography.

A method has been developed for rapid analysis of the urinary hydroxylysine glycosides [glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GGH) and galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GH)] as collagen metabolites. The glycosides were fluorometrically derivatized with 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride, and then subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using a gradient system. Suitable standard hydroxylysine glycosides which were not diastereoisomers were prepared from human urine. Urinary GGH and GH were analyzed within 1 h, including column washing. This method was applied to the urine samples of 68 healthy persons of different ages.

Galactosyl hydroxylysine and deoxypyridinoline: a methodological comparison.

Galactosyl hydroxylysine and deoxypyridinoline are at present the most promising markers of bone resorption. Various studies have indeed shown that these two markers discriminate with high accuracy subjects with different rates of bone turnover and that their accuracies and discriminate power are very similar. The aim of this paper is to compare the practicality and the reproducibility of the HPLC galactosyl hydroxylysine and deoxypyridinoline assays. In summary, this review shows that the galactosyl hydroxylysine and deoxypyridinoline HPLC assays differ mainly in the need, in using deoxypyridinoline, for an acid hydrolysis and a preextraction of the urine samples. This implies two major problems for deoxypyridinoline: 1) more time is required due to the cumbersome preanalytical procedures; and 2) a lower reproducibility. Our data, in fact, show that both the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient of variation of the deoxypyridinoline assay are almost 100% higher than those of the galactosyl hydroxylysine assay.

Pinpointing the sites of hydroxylysine glycosides in peptide alpha 1-CB7 of bovine corneal collagen, and their possible role in determining fibril diameter and thus transparency.

Two cyanogen bromide fragments (alpha 1-CB7 and alpha 1-CB8) of bovine corneal stromal collagen have been isolated and characterized. These added to those characterized in our previous work account for 95% of the amino acid sequence of the alpha 1(1)-chain. The hydroxylysine glycoside content of each fragment was determined and in this way the general distribution of glycoside over the entire molecule was deduced accounting for all the galactosylhydroxylysine and most of the glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine of this heavily glycosylated type I collagen. The characterization of fragments alpha 1-CB7 and alpha 1-CB8 has enabled us to resolve the controversy over the relative mobilities of these fragments on SDS gels. Fragment alpha 1-CB7 of bovine corneal collagen was digested by trypsin and by staphylococcal proteinase V8. The resultant peptides were isolated by gel and ion-exchange chromatography and identified in relation to the known amino acid sequence of type I collagen. The hydroxylysine glycosides were determined in the relevant peptides providing a complete account of their distribution along this part of the collagen molecule. Most of the glycoside was found in the gap region of collagen especially near the edges of the axial holes where it could act as a peg to facilitate fibre formation. In addition, some glycoside was found in the overlap region where, being unable to fit into axial holes, it might impede the growth of the fibre and, with other glycoside of the overlap region, might be responsible for the narrow fibres of corneal collagen that are essential for corneal transparency. This glycoside, with that previously found in the peptide alpha 1-CB3 is the only hydroxylysine glycoside identified in the overlap region of a type I collagen.

Age-dependent accumulation of N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylysine in human skin collagen.

N epsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is formed on oxidative cleavage of carbohydrate adducts to lysine residues in glycated proteins in vitro [Ahmed et al. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8816-8821; Dunn et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 10964-10970]. We have shown that, in human lens proteins in vivo, the concentration of fructose-lysine (FL), the Amadori adduct of glucose to lysine, is constant with age, while the concentration of the oxidation product, CML, increases significantly with age [Dunn et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 9464-9468]. In this work we extend our studies to the analysis of human skin collagen. The extent of glycation of insoluble skin collagen was greater than that of lens proteins (4-6 mmol of FL/mol of lysine in collagen versus 1-2 mmol of FL/mol of lysine in lens proteins), consistent with the lower concentration of glucose in lens, compared to plasma. In contrast to lens, there was a slight but significant age-dependent increase in glycation of skin collagen, 33% between ages 20 and 80. As in lens protein, CML, present at only trace levels in neonatal collagen, increased significantly with age, although the amount of CML in collagen at 80 years of age, approximately 1.5 mmol of CML/mol of lysine, was less than that found in lens protein, approximately 7 mmol of CML/mol of lysine. The concentration of N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylysine (CMhL), the product of oxidation of glycated hydroxylysine, also increased with age in collagen, in parallel with the increase in CML, from trace levels at infancy to approximately 5 mmol of CMhL/mol of hydroxylysine at age 80.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lysyl-protocollagen hydroxylase deficiency in fibroblasts from siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen.

Cell culture studies were performed on members of a family in which two sisters, ages 9 and 12, have a similar disorder characterized clinically by severe scoliosis, joint laxity and recurrent dislocations, hyperextensible skin, and thin scars. The skin collagen from the sisters was markedly deficient in hydroxylysine, but other amino acids were present in normal amounts. Hydroxylysine in collagen from fascia and bone was reduced to a lesser extent. Since the most likely explanation for the hydroxylysine deficiency was a reduction in enzymatic hydroxylation of lysine residues in protocollagen, we measured the activity of lysyl-protocollagen hydroxylase in crude lysates of cultured skin fibroblasts. Enzyme activities in the two affected children were 14 and 10% of controls, whereas the activity was about 60% of normal in the mother, a pattern most consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The mutant enzyme demonstrated the same cofactor requirements as that from normal cells. Deficiency of lysyl-protocollagen hydroxylase is the first inborn error of human collagen metabolism to be defined at the biochemical level.

Processing of an anglerfish somatostatin precursor to a hydroxylysine-containing somatostatin 28.

A novel 28-residue somatostatin (SS) has been isolated from anglerfish pancreatic islets and characterized by complete Edman degradation, peptide mapping, and amino acid analysis. The primary structure of this anglerfish SS-28 (aSS-28) containing hydroxylysine (Hyl) was established to be H-Ser-Val-Asp-Ser-Thr-Asn-Asn-Leu-Pro-Pro-Arg-Glu-Arg-Lys-Ala-Gly-Cys- Lys-Asn-Phe-Tyr-Trp-Hyl-Gly-Phe-Thr-Ser-Cys-OH. This sequence (with the exception of hydroxylysine-23, which is replaced by lysine) is identical to the sequence of the COOH-terminal 28 residues of prepro-SS II predicted on the basis of cDNA analysis [Hobart, P., Crawford, R., Shen, L., Pictet, R. & Rutter, W. J. (1980) Nature (London) 288, 137-141]. This is the first instance in which hydroxylysine (to date characteristically observed in collagen or collagen-like structures) has been found in a potential regulatory peptide. Chromatographic characterization of peptides, radiolabeled in islet culture, revealed that aSS-28 contained 10-12% of the radioactivity incorporated into the 8000- to 1000-dalton SS-like polypeptides, whereas 88-90% of this radioactivity was detected in anglerfish SS-14. It appears probable that aSS-28 represents the predominant primary cleavage product derived from prepro-SS II by cleavage at the COOH-terminal side of a single arginine. Based on knowledge of the collagen biosynthesis, it is speculated that hydroxylation may take place as an early post-translational event.

Urinary excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides as an index of collagen degradation.

Urimary excretion of hydroxyprolin (Hyp) is one index of total collagen degradation, from all sources. Since some of the Hyp released from collagen may be further metabolized before it is excreted, other markers are necessary to measure collagen breakdown. Excretion of the glycosides of hydroxylysine (Hyl), glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine (Hy1[Gl)cGa1]), and galactosyl hydroxylysine (Hyl[Ga)]), more accurately reflects collagen metabolism since these products occur in specificratios in different tissue collagens and are themselves metabolized only to a minor degree. The ratios of total Hy1/Hyp and Hyl(GlcGal)/Hyl(Ga1) were measured in the urine of norma. subjects and of patients with Paget's disease of bone, hyperphosphatasia, and extensive thermal burns. In patients with extensive thermal burns the pattern of urinary Hy1 and its glycosides was consistent with degradation of collagen in dermis and fascia. When bone collagen degradation was dominant, the pattern of urinary metabolites reflected that source. Pagetic bone collagen has an amino acid composition similar to normal bone and Hy1(G1cGa1/Hyl(G1) of 0.396-0.743,vs. normal of 0.474+/-0.088. In untreated patients with severe Paget's disease of bone or hyperphosphatasia (urinary Hyp greater than 2.0 micronmol/mg creatinine) urinary Hyl/Hyp averaged 0.052+/-0.042 (0.042+/-0.009 in normal bone) and Hy1(G1cGa1)/Hy1(Ga1) 0.601+/-0.017 (0.47+/-0.009 in normal bone). When bone resorption was decreased sufficiently with calcitonin or disodium etidronate in these patients, both the urinary ratios of Hy1/Hyp and Hy1(G1cGa1)/Hyl(Gal) rose. In normal subjects treated with calcitonin and excreting relatively little Hyp, the ratio of Hy1/H)P approached 0.7 and Hy1(G1ycGa1)/Hy1(Ga1) approached 3.5. There increased ratios reveal the existence of a source of collagen breakdown other than skin or bone. The first subcompoent of complement, Clq, which has collagen-like sequences, relatively high amounts of Hy1, and most of the glycosylated Hy1 as Hy1(G1cGa1), could be the source of these metabolites.

Urinary excretion levels of hydroxylysine glycosides in osteoporotic patients.

The urinary excretion levels of hydroxylysine glycosides [Hyl-Gs; O-beta-D-Galactopyranosylhydroxylysine (GH) and 2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-O-beta-D-galactopyranosylhydroxylysine (GGH)], provide a new index of collagen metabolism. The determination of urinary hydroxylysine glycoside excretion levels was applied to 20 osteoporotic patients and 208 healthy control subjects (69 females and 139 males) in order to evaluate the conditions of bone collagen metabolism. Urinary Hyl-Gs were analyzed by the method of pre-column fluorescent derivatized HPLC. Compared to the age and sex-adjusted control, the urinary excretion levels of hydroxylysine glycosides, especially GH, in osteoporotic patients were significantly higher than in the age and sex-adjusted control, and the urinary GGH/GH ratio was lower. Sixteen of the 20 patients whose Hyl-Gs levels we followed exhibited significantly lower values after 200 d compared to the initial levels. These results suggest that clinical therapeutics affected the bone resorption and, therefore, demonstrated the usefulness of determining urinary excretion levels of Hyl-Gs for evaluating the conditions of bone metabolism.

Urinary excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides in normal persons of different ages--influence of maturation.

Basement membrane collagen is relatively rich in hydroxylysine and the glycosides of hydroxylysine, glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine. In this paper a modified procedure for analysis of these substances in urine is described, using a purification-step with the cation-exchange resin Amberlite CG-120 type II and a modified program for amino acid analysis. Values are obtained from 75 healthy persons of different ages ranging from prematurity to adulthood. The influence of maturation is studied. Prematures and young children have a high and rather variable excretion of all components, whereas adults have low and similar excretion rates. Neither the ratio glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine/galactosylhydroxylysine nor the percentage of glycosylated hydroxylysine can be shown to be age-dependent. These data are important for the study of collagen disorders, especially in childhood.

Anglerfish preprosomatostatin II is processed to somatostatin-28 and contains hydroxylysine at residue 23.

A peptide fraction containing two 28-residue somatostatins, both products of the anglerfish somatostatin II gene, has been isolated, characterized, and subjected to amino acid sequence analysis. The structural data indicate that one of the two forms of the 28-residue peptide contains 5-hydroxylysine. Hydroxylysine was identified in an acid hydrolysate of somatostatin-28 by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry indicated that the two forms of somatostatin-28 have molecular weights of 3220 and 3204, representing the hydroxylated and nonhydroxylated peptides, respectively. The location of the hydroxylated lysine was deduced by analysis of proteolytic fragments to be position 23. This represents the first observation of a hydroxylated peptide hormone and one of the few reported occurrences of hydroxylysine in non-collagen proteins.

Chromatographic analysis of hydroxylysine glycosides and acid hydrolyzates.

A single-column chromatographic technique for the analysis of hydroxylysine glycosides and acid hydrolyzates is described. This technique employs a Durrum D-500 amino acid analyzer equipped with a standard 48 cm X 1.8 mm column packed with DC-4A resin. Resolution was achieved with four sodium citrate buffers and four column temperatures. Products of glycoprotein hydrolysis including cysteic acid, methionine sulfoxide, 4-hydroxyproline, alpha-aminobutyric acid, glucosamine, galactosamine, hydroxylysine, tryptophan and the internal standard, norleucine, are resolved. The completely automated procedure takes 185 min per run and can measure amino acid residues in the nanomole range.

The glycosides of hydroxylysine are final products of collagen degradation in humans.

Glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GGHYL) and galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GHYL) are metabolites derived from collagen degradation. They are useful biochemical markers provided they are not further processed. Experiments were run to test the activity of alpha- and beta-glycosidases in human kidney cortex preparations. Results allow to exclude the presence of the specific enzymes, in contrast with what is reported for the rat kidney tissue.

Comparative study of specific alpha-1,2-glucosidase activity toward glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine in various animal species.

1. Assay of the activity of alpha-1,2-glucosidase was completed within 10 min using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and purified dansylated glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine as the substrate. 2. A comparative study was made on the enzyme activity of liver homogenate from eight animal species, mouse, frog, chicken, rabbit, pig, rat, human, bovine and that of a spinach leaf homogenate. alpha-1,2-glucosidase activity in human and bovine liver was very low, and that of alpha-1,2-glucosidase could not be detected in the spinach homogenate as expected. 3. 1-deoxynojirimycin, a well known potent inhibitor of alpha-1,2-glucosidases which act on the N-glycosidic type carbohydrate chain, also inhibited alpha-1,2-glucosidase acting specificity on glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine derived from the collagen molecule.

Automated triple assay for proline, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine on one single sample.

1. A new, quick, sensitive and specific assay for the quantitative determination of proline is presented together with its automatization. The use of glacial acetic acid-formaldehyde as the solvent for ninhydrin lends a series of advantages to the reaction. 2. A serial automated procedure for the simultaneous detection of proline, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in one single sample is pesented. The advantage of the triple assay lies in the use of one single sample instead of three previously aliquoted fractions in three individual automated assays. The triple assay is as specific, reproducible and sensitive as the individual assays. 3. A quick, manual assay for hydroxylysine is presented. This method represents a further simplifiction of previous ones by the same author and adds the advantage of rapidity to their sensitivity and specificity.

Measurement of hydroxylysine glycosides in urine and its application to spinal cord injury.

A new technique to evaluate the degradation of skin or bone collagen by measuring glucosylgalactosyl hydroxylysine and galactosyl hydroxylysine is presented. The method utilizes an automated amino acid analyzer. Eluents used are lithium buffers, and the color reagent is ninhydrin. Both glycosides elute in 3.5 h. Samples require minimum preparation. Urinary concentrations of both glycosides in ten patients with cervical spinal cord injuries of less than six months duration were higher than in five healthy controls. Proportional increases were different for each of the two glycosides. Variations in the proportional increase of each glycoside indicate different rates of degradation of skin and bone collagen. Repeated evaluations of the two urinary glycosides may help to predict whether patients are likely to develop skin- or bone-related clinical complications.

Rapid method for determining desmosine, isodesmosine, 5-hydroxylysine, tryptophan, lysinoalanine and the amino sugars in proteins and tissues.

A rapid and sensitive chromatographic method is described for determining desmosine, isodesmosine, 5-hydroxylysine, tryptophan, lysinoalanine, glucosamine and galactosamine at picomole levels in protein and tissue hydrolysates. This method uses either an automated amino acid analyser with a 17.5 X 0.28 cm microcolumn packed with 6.0 +/- 0.5 micron spherical resin, thermostated at 52 degrees C, one buffer system (0.21 M sodium citrate, pH 5.125) and 3-nitrotyrosine as the internal standard, or conventional instruments using the same system but with larger diameter columns and resins (11.0 +/- 1.0 micron). This method should be especially valuable for determining collagen and elastin in tissue hydrolysates from the amounts of 5-hydroxylysine, and desmosine or isodesmosine present, respectively, and for studying protein hydroxylation, glycosylation, cross-linking formation, and the turnover rates of collagen and elastin in normal and diseased tissues.
