PON-1 carbamylation is enhanced in HDL of uremia patients.

ABSTRACT: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) carbamylation has been known in uremia patients. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is an important HDL protein responsible for HDL anti-oxidant, arylesterase and lactonase activities. PON-1 carbamylation in uremic HDL has never been explored. We isolated HDL from uremia patients and control healthy subjects for study. Sandwich ELISA was used to estimate carbamylated PON-1 protein expression in HDL, and nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) was applied to identify the amino acid in PON-1 carbamylated. PON-1 enzyme activities were estimated by substrates conversion method. HDL anti-oxidant activity was gauged by fluorescence changes of indicator dye in the presence of H₂O₂. Our study results proved that the degree of P
