ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The present study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of aminoguanidine (AG) and 2-bromoethylamine (2-BEA) on the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity both in vitro and in vivo, and the prevention role of AG and 2-BEA in the morphology of aorta and kidney in diabetic rats.METHODS:
The aortic homogenates isolated from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with different concentrations of AG or 2-BEA to investigate the inhibitory effects on the SSAO activity in vitro, using benzylamine as the substrate. In addition, 65 male SD rats were randomly assigned into normal control (NC) (n = 10), NC + AG (n = 10), NC + 2-BEA (n = 10) and diabetes mellitus (DM) model groups (n = 35). Type 1 diabetic rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1% streptozotocin-sodium citrate buffer 55 mg/kg. After establishing the diabetic rat model by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Except those failed in modeling, 30 rats in the DM model group were further randomly divided into the DM, DM + AG, DM + 2-BEA groups (n = 10 in each). Rats in the DM + AG and NC + AG group were intraperitoneally injected with AG (25 mg/kg),those in the DM + 2-BEA and NC + 2-BEA group were administered with 2-BEA (20 mg/kg) daily for eight weeks. After eight weeks of treatment, the SSAO activity in the plasma and aorta, and plasma levels of formaldehyde (FA) and methylamine (MA) were measured by high performance liquid chromatograph. Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentration, while nitric acid deoxidized enzyme method was performed to detect the plasma nitrate/nitrite (NO(x)-) level. Besides, the morphological changes of aorta and kidney tissues were examined by optical and electron microscopes.RESULTS:
Both AG and 2-BEA exerted strong inhibitory effect on the aortic SSAO activity in vitro, with the IC50 values of 12.76 µmol/L and 3.83 µmol/L, respectively. Compared with the NC group, the SSAO activity in the plasma and aorta, and plasma levels of MA and ET-1 were significantly increased (P < 0.01), whereas the plasma NO(x)- level was obviously lower in the DM group (P < 0.01). A significantly decreased SSAO activity and plasma ET-1 level, as well as obviously increased plasma levels of MA and NO(x)- were observed in the DM + AG and DM + 2-BEA groups in comparison with the DM group (P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in plasma FA concentration among all the groups. Besides, the morphological changes of aorta and kidney were apparently alleviated in the DM + AG and DM + 2-BEA groups as compared with the DM group.CONCLUSIONS:
Both AG and 2-BEA can inhibit the SSAO activity in the plasma and aorta. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of AG and 2-BEA on the SSAO-mediated oxidative deamination had great benefit in the morphological changes of aorta and kidney in diabetic rats.Palavras-chave
