Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous group of compounds formed by non-enzymatic reaction between reducing-sugar and Arg/Lys in proteins and are involved in various diabetic complications. GA-pyridine is derived from glycolaldehyde and is one of the most cytotoxic AGEs. Here, we established a single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody against GA-pyridine, 73MuL9-scFv, and examined the details of its specificity and antigen recognition by using various techniques involving biophysics, chemical biology and structural biology. We also synthesized several compounds that differ slightly in regard to the position and number of GA-pyridine substituent groups, and revealed that GA-pyridine was specifically bound to 73MuL9-scFv. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the association of GA-pyridine to 73MuL9-scFv was an exothermic and enthalpy driven reaction, and thus that the antigen recognition involved multiple specific interactions. Crystallographic analysis of the Fv fragment of 73MuL9-scFv revealed that several CH-π and hydrogen bond interactions took place between the Fv-fragment and GA-pyridine, which was consistent with the results of thermodynamic analysis. Further studies using 73MuL9-scFv as a tool to clarify the relevance of GA-pyridine to diabetic complications are warranted.

Selective fragmentation of α,β-unsaturated esters into CC, CO, and OR fragments was investigated with the assistance of a gallane(pyridyl)iron complex Cp*(OC)Fe{(η-HGaMes)(η-2-CHN)} (1, Cp*: η-CMe, Mes: 2,4,6-MeCH). The reaction of 1 with methyl acrylate in CD afforded vinyliron complex Cp*(OC)Fe(CHCH) (2) and 4-membered GaO cyclic gallane [MesGaOMe] (3). The C-O and C-C bonds in -butyl acrylate were cleaved by the reaction with complex 1, producing complex 2 and pyridine-coordinated gallane Mes(-BuO)Ga(pyridine) (4).

Single-chain Fv (scFv) is a recombinant antibody in which the variable regions of the heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) are connected by a short flexible polypeptide linker. Compared with monoclonal antibodies, scFvs have the advantages of low-cost production using Escherichia coli and easy genetic manipulation. ScFvs are, therefore, regarded as useful modules for producing next-generation medical antibodies.

Unlabelled: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) elicit inflammatory responses via the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and participate in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. An earlier study showed that 3-hydroxypyridinium (3-HP), a common moiety of toxic AGEs such as glyceraldehyde-derived pyridinium (GLAP) and GA-pyridine, is essential for the interaction with RAGE. However, the physiological significance of 3-HP recognition by RAGE remains unclear.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed from glyceraldehyde (Gcer) and glycolaldehyde (Gcol) are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, via interactions with a receptor for AGEs (RAGE). In this study, we aimed to elucidate the RAGE-binding structure in Gcer and Gcol-derived AGEs and identify the minimal moiety recognized by RAGE. Among Gcer and Gcol-derived AGEs, GLAP (glyceraldehyde-derived pyridinium) and GA-pyridine elicited toxicity in PC12 neuronal cells.
