Early glycation products as well as advance glycation end products are involved in pathogenesis of diabetes. Most of studies carried out on AGEs and their possible role in assessing diabetes complications, whereas only a few were focused to highlight the role of Amadori products. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate a structural and immunological characterizations of Amadori-albumin upon early glucosylation because albumin undergoes fast glycation under hyperglycaemic condition. Amadori-albumin formation was determined by NBT assay and Amadori adducts in glycated samples were confirmed by LC-MS. Structural alterations in Amadori-albumin were characterized by loss in fluorescence intensity, loss in secondary and tertiary structures, exposure of hydrophobic patches, shifting in Amide bands and increment in hydrodynamic radius. Further, presence to autoantibodies against Amadori-albumin in diabetes patients were confirmed by direct binding ELISA and inhibition ELISA. Immunological studies results showed that autoantibodies present in diabetic patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) showed significant binding with Amadori-albumin in comparison to the native protein. Anti Amadori-albumin antibodies predominantly present in CKD patients compare to without CKD patients. Band shift assay results showed true interaction between Amadori-albumin and autoantibodies present in CKD patients. Glucosylation results showed structural alterations in Amadorialbumin and hence generation of neo-epitopes in HSA molecule. Such modifications rendering the protein highly immunogenic that may be recognized as foreign molecule by immune cells and induced autoantibodies in diabetic patients. These finding signify the role of Amadori-albumin in kidney dysfunction in diabetes and raised level of autoantibodies may be used as biomarker for progression of CKD. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
