Abstract
Endothelium plays a pivotal role in the vascular tone regulation, platelet aggregation, regulation of immune response, inflammation and angiogenesis and its dysfunction is an earliest event in the development of cardiovascular disease. All these processes are affected by endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial toxicity induced by metabolites present in blood is a common scenario in pathology. This involves physiological metabolites such as asymmetric dimethylarginine or homocysteine that are normally excreted by kidneys, but accumulate in pathological conditions, adversely affecting function of endothelium. Our group identified new molecule with potential endothelial toxicity: 4-pirydone-3-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribonucleoside (4PYR). This nucleoside is most likely produced by oxidation of nicotinamide containing precursor by aldehyde oxidase. 4PYR easy crosses cell membrane and become phosphorylated inside the cell giving rise to mono-, di- and triphospates (4PYMP, 4PYDP and 4PYTP). There is considerable evidence that 4PYR is toxic in endothelium and other cell types by disrupting cell energetics evident as ATP depletion. Endothelial dysfunction in the in vitro and in vivo experiments is, however, evident only after prolonged exposure...Continue Reading
