| Abstract | Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are generated in lens proteins following ascorbic acid glycation. Autosensitized photo-processes induced by these AGEs exposed to UVA-visible light at low oxygen concentrations, such as those found in the eye lens, were studied in order to establish their photo-damaging potential. Ascorbic acid glycated bovine lens proteins, irradiated with UVA and/or visible light at 5% oxygen concentration showed an increase in the amount of carbonyl groups and an increase in the emission of chemiluminescence. Both are indicators of the occurrence of amino acid oxidation within the proteins. A good correlation was found between the chemiluminescence intensity and the extent of the glycation process. No modifications in the SDS-PAGE patterns were observed when 6-day glycated proteins were irradiated with UVA-visible light at low oxygen pressure, excluding the occurrence of photochemical crosslinking. When the same samples were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and analyzed by Western blot, using polyclonal antibodies to the DNP moiety, an increase in the carbonyl content restricted to the AGE-crosslinked proteins fractions was observed. These results indicate that photo-oxidations are limited to the nearby environment of the sensitizers. On the contrary, when native lens proteins were irradiated in the presence of small molecular weight models of AGEs, prepared by incubating ascorbate with Nα-acetylated lysine and arginine, the occurrence of both photochemically induced crosslinking and oxidative processes were observed, emphasizing the importance of the localization of the sensitizer. Taken together, these results provide information with respect to the actual photosensitizing ability of endogenous AGEs to induce photo-oxidative processes in lens proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
