Disease relevance of NAT8

  • Vitamin K deficiency, drugs that act as vitamin K antagonists, and oxidant stress are forces that could prevent the formation of GLA residues on MGP [1].
  • Serum osteocalcin (BGP), a vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (GLA) containing bone protein, provides an index of bone turnover in patients with a variety of metabolic bone diseases [2].
  • GLA obese had lower body weight (p<0.0001) and 60-day cumulative food intake (p<0.05) compared to SOY obese, but neither parameter differed between the lean groups [3].
  • Due to the potential health risks of enriching tissue lipids with AA, great caution is advised in considering GLA as therapy for human obesity [3].
  • Thus the progressive dose of GLA selectively suppressed hyperphagia in obese Zucker rats [3].
 

High impact information on NAT8

  • Based on these data, we propose that the two high affinity sites of human Factor Xa consist of two paired GLA residues; GLA-19, GLA-20 and GLA-25, GLA-26 together with one of the remaining single GLA residues for each site [4].
  • Individuals with decreased leukocyte AGAL activity were subjected to mutation testing in the GLA gene [5].
  • In this report, we describe the full-length genome sequences of two novel SIVs, designated SIVmon-99CMCML1 and SIVmus-01CM1085, isolated from one mona (CML1) and one mustached (1085) monkey, respectively [6].
  • To identify the constituent proteins of higher plant cells structurally homologous to the vertebrate nuclear lamina, we cloned overlapping cDNAs partially encoding a CML-1-recognized protein and determined the entire sequence including the open reading frame [7].
  • A monoclonal antibody, CML-1, raised against carrot (Daucus carota L.) nuclear-matrix proteins selectively labeled the nuclear periphery of carrot protoplasts when visualized by confocal and electron microscopy [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NAT8

 

Biological context of NAT8

  • For the last twenty days cumulative food intake was identical for GLA obese and SOY lean, whereas SOY obese consumed 18% more (p<0.05) [3].
  • Isobole analysis at the isoeffect levels of 50 and 70% revealed that drug interaction was predominantly synergistic when GLA and paclitaxel were added concurrently for 24 h to the cell cultures [8].
  • Nude mice bearing subcutaneous pancreatic tumours produced with the MIA PaCa-2 cell line were treated with the maximum tolerated dose (6.75 mg GLA and 7.3 mg EPA per g of body weight) administered over 10 days by daily intravenous (i.v.) bolus injections [11].
  • We hypothesize that the anti-inflammatory effects of EPA and GLA may be due, in part, to induction of neutrophil apoptosis [9].
  • EPA, GLA, and various combinations of EPA and GLA significantly induced apoptosis and reduced cell viability in HL-60 cells [9].
 

Anatomical context of NAT8

  • GLA preincubation followed by paclitaxel resulted in additivity for all cell lines [8].
  • The purpose of this study was to determine whether EPA and GLA, alone or in combination, trigger apoptotic cell death in the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line [9].
  • These observations suggest that prolonged survival in CML 1) is not contingent upon intensive treatment resulting in marrow hypoplasia, and 2) does not require the persistence of a clone of karyotypically-normal bone marrow cells or a clone of marrow cells in males which has lost the Y chromosome [12].
  • The presence of the amino acid gamma-carboxyglutamate (GLA) was established in human middle ear bones [13].
  • The GLA content of human incus, malleus, and stapes with 1-2 nmol/mg bone is in the range previously reported for a variety of bone [13].
 

Associations of NAT8 with chemical compounds

  • The deuterium isotope effect on the reciprocal lifetime (tau-1) of excited Eu(III) in human Factor Xa has indicated that 2 to 3 water molecules remain on Eu(III) after being complexed by Factor Xa, suggesting that 3-6 ligand atoms are provided by the protein, probably through two or three gamma-carboxyglutamic acids (GLA) [4].
  • We have examined the combined in vitro cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and the fatty acids gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6) and oleic acid (OA, 18:1n-9) in human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells [8].
  • Fifty children were randomized to treatment groups receiving either a PUFA supplement providing a daily dose of 480 mg DHA, 80 mg EPA, 40 mg arachidonic acid (AA), 96 mg GLA, and 24 mg alpha-tocopheryl acetate, or an olive oil placebo for 4 mon of double-blind parallel treatment [14].
  • Fourteen species of the genus Echium (Fam. Boraginaceae) collected in the Macaronesia were surveyed in a search for high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3omega6) in the seed oil [15].
  • In the present study, it was noted that the plasma levels of saturated fatty acids: stearic and palmitic were increased where as unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, gamma-linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acids (OA, LA, GLA and EPA respectively) were decreased in alloxan-induced diabetic rats [16].
 

Regulatory relationships of NAT8

  • Furthermore, CML-1 inhibited TNF-alpha-induced IkB kinase activation, subsequent degradation of IkBalpha, and nuclear translocation of NK-kB [17].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NAT8

  • Nineteen hypercholesterolemic patients (10 without and 9 with hypertriglyceridemia) were given evening primrose oil rich in gammalinolenic acid (GLA, 18: 3n - 6), in a placebo controlled cross-over design, over 16 weeks (8 + 8 weeks), with safflower oil as the placebo [18].
  • Allylamine (ALAM) film was plasma-polymerized on a flat glass (referred to as ALAM(GLA): GLA refers to a flat glass plate) for use as a solid phase in two-site immunoradiometric assay (two-site IRMA) [19].
  • Although no differences were seen for the AUC of the appetite profile, aet 15:00 h subjects were less satiated with LA (46.1+/-6.2 mm, P<0.05) or GLA (45.1+/-5.8 mm, P<0.01) than after treatment OA (62.5+/-4.8 mm) [20].
