Objectives.To evaluate if the prooxidant environment present in atherosclerotic plaque may oxidatively modify filtered albumin.Methods.Fluorescein-5-maleimide labelled plasma samples and plaque extracts from 27 patients who had undergone carotid endarterectomy were analysed through nonreducing SDS-PAGE for albumin-Cys34oxidation. Furthermore, degree and pattern of S-thiolation in both circulating and plaque-filtered albumin were assayed.Results.Albumin filtered in the atherosclerotic plaque showed higher levels of Cys34oxidative modifications than the corresponding circulating form as well as different patterns of S-thiolation.Conclusions.Data indicate that the circulating albumin, once filtered in plaque, undergoes Cys34oxidative modifications and demonstrate for the first time that albumin is a homocysteine and cysteinylglycine vehicle inside the plaque environment.

Isoaspartate (isoAsp) is a damaging amino acid residue formed in proteins mostly as a result of spontaneous deamidation of asparaginyl residues. An association has been found between isoAsp in human serum albumin (HSA) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here we report on a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1A3 with excellent specificity to isoAsp in the functionally important domain of HSA. Based on 1A3 mAb, an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed, and the isoAsp occupancy in 100 healthy plasma samples was quantified for the first time, providing the average value of (0.74 ± 0.13)%. These results suggest potential of isoAsp measurements for supplementary AD diagnostics as well as for assessing the freshness of stored donor blood and its suitability for transfusion.

The reaction between cisplatin and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by X-ray crystallography and crystal structures of the cisplatin/HSA adduct were eventually solved for the first time.

The effect of severe hypoxia on the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of dogs was evaluated from the rate of passage of radioiodinated human serum albumin from plasma to cisternal fluid. Hypoxia was induced by intratracheal administration of varying mixtures of O2 and N2 or by use of a Smith-Jones pressure chamber. Radioiodinated albumin was injected intravenously and cisternal fluid and plasma samples were obtained at various intervals thereafter in experimental and control animals. Hypoxia maintained for 1 hour or longer resulted in a marked increase in the concentration ratio (cisternal fluid radioactivity)/(plasma radioactivity). The concentration ratio was frequently higher after 4 hours of hypoxia than after 24–48 hours in control animals. The slope of CSF albumin-I131 concentration as a function of time for the hypoxic animals was about five times that for the control animals. It is concluded that changes in rate of passage of albumin from plasma into cisternal fluid reflect alterations in the permeability of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier to albumin.

Magnetic immobilization as a novel technique was used to immobilize recombinant Pichia pastoris (GS115 Albumin) cells to produce human serum albumin (HSA). In this regard, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with amino propyl triethoxy silane (APTES) were synthesized. P. pastoris cells were decorated with MNPs via nonspecific interactions. Decorated cells were magneto-responsible and easily harvested by applying an external magnetic field. The efficiency of magnetic immobilization (Ei) for cell removal was in direct relation with the MNP concentration and time of exposure to the magnetic field. By increasing the nanoparticles concentration, cells were harvested in a shorter period. Complete cell removal (Ei ≈ 100) was achieved in ≥0.5 mg/mL of MNPs in just 30 s. HSA is produced in an extremely high cell density (OD ~20) and it is the first time that magnetic immobilization was successfully employed for harvesting such a thick cell suspension. After 5 days of induction the cells, which were immobilized with 0.25 to 1 mg/mL of nanoparticles, showed an increased potency for recombinant HSA production. The largest increase in HSA production (38.1%) was achieved in the cells that were immobilized with 0.5 mg/mL of nanoparticles. These results can be considered as a novel approach for further developments in the P. pastoris-based system.

Aim: To develop a method for enantioseparation of several chiral derivatives of xanthones (CDXs) by LC using a human serum albumin-chiral stationary phase (HSA-CSP) and screening CDX-HSA affinity. Additionally, recognition mechanisms were investigated. Materials & methods: The influence of organic modifier, buffer type, pH and ionic strength of mobile phase, and temperature were explored. The affinity was determined by measuring the retention times and further calculation of bound percentage. Chiral recognition mechanisms were investigated by docking. Results: Enantioselectivity and resolution values ranged from 1.40 to 9.16 and 1.51 to 4.97. Bound percentages ranged from 79.02 to 99.99%. Conclusion: LC systematic study and binding affinity of CDXs on HSA-CSP are presented here for the first time, expanding the applications of HSA-CSP for this class of compounds.
