}Abnormal cellular accumulation of the dicarbonyl metabolite MG (methylglyoxal) occurs on exposure to high glucose concentrations, inflammation, cell aging and senescence. It is associated with increased MG-adduct content of protein and DNA linked to increased DNA strand breaks and mutagenesis, mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation and cell detachment from the extracellular matrix. MG-mediated damage is countered by glutathione-dependent metabolism by Glo1…

Surprisingly, gene trapping by the International Mouse Knockout Consortium (IMKC) to generate putative Glo1 knockout mice produced a mouse line with the phenotype characterised as normal and healthy, and it was found that prolonged exposure of mouse ESCs in culture to high concentrations of MG and/or hypoxia led to low-level increase in GlO1 copy number.

Results are supportive of an essential role of DNAJB3 as a molecular target through which ALA alleviates ER stress and improves glucose uptake and the effect of ALA on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is significantly reduced.

The data reported here stress the need for further studies aimed at understanding what role the evolutionary-conserved MGO formation and metabolism can play in cell signaling and response to OxS conditions, the aberration of which may importantly contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases associated to elevated OxS.
Resveratrol upregulates Nrf2 expression to attenuate methylglyoxal-induced insulin resistance in Hep G2 cells.
- BiologyJournal of agricultural and food chemistry
- 2012
Resveratrol significantly elevated glucose uptake and protected against MG-induced insulin resistance in Hep G2 cells and activated the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway but not the p38 or c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) pathways, subsequently leading to Nrf2 nuclear translocation and elevation of HO-1 and glyoxalase expression levels.

It is demonstrated that Glo-1 was greatly downregulated in central neurons exposed to chronic high glucose, which is expected to lead the formation of AGEs and oxidative stress damages.

It is demonstrated that Nrf2 is essential for the transcriptional induction of phase II enzymes and the presence of a coordinate transcriptional regulatory mechanism for phase II enzyme genes and the nrf2-deficient mice may prove to be a very useful model for the in vivo analysis of chemical carcinogenesis and resistance to anti-cancer drugs.

Imidazopurinones are markers of physiological genomic damage linked to DNA instability and glyoxalase 1-associated tumour multidrug resistance
- Chemistry, BiologyNucleic acids research

It is reported herein that glycation of DNA by glyoxal and methylglyoxal produces a quantitatively important class of nucleotide adduct in physiological systems—imidazopurinones, and these findings suggest that imidazoclineinones are a major type of endogenous DNA damage.

Results show that hyperglycemia-induced ROS production increases expression of RAGE and RAGE ligands, mediated by ROS-induced methylglyoxal, the major substrate of glyoxalase 1.

It is suggested that the stabilization of Nrf2 in cells under stress represents the central regulatory response mediated by mechanisms that interfere with its interaction with Keap1, leading to the induction of antioxidant enzymes important to maintain cellular redox homeostasis.

The magnitude of cytoprotection in early obstruction depends on the combined contribution of induced activation of Nrf2 upregulating its downstream gene products and Hsp70 response, and impaired ability to mount the biological response to the prevailing oxidative stress leading to renal injury was shown in prolonged obstruction.
