Application

Adenosine, periodate oxidized has been used:
  • as a methylarginine transferase inhibitor in the human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 T cells
  • as a methylase inhibitor in H4 neuroglioma
  • as a broad inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltransferases in mouse embryo fibroblast NIH3T3 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine, periodate oxidized (Adox) is a protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibitor. It also inhibits the enzyme S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase and induces apoptosis. Its inhibitory effect on histone methyltransferases prevents histone methylation. Adox also elicits intrinsic cytotoxic properties.

We have previously shown that homocysteine (Hcy) induces phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, apoptosis and necrosis in human endothelial cells. Since it has been suggested that S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is the main causative factor in Hcy-induced pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, we evaluate here

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and vascular disease; however, the mechanism underlying this association remains poorly understood. Increased levels of intracellular S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), secondary to homocysteine-mediated reversal of the AdoHcy hydrolase reaction, have been associated with reduced DNA

An impaired DNA methylation has been suggested to underlie the complex etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). Previously, we have demonstrated that inhibition of methylation by periodate oxidized adenosine (Adox) results in a widening of the anterior neuropore (ANP) in

The metabolism of homocysteine is influenced by several dietary factors, including folate, cobalamin and possibly also the intake of polyhydroxylated phenolic compounds (polyphenols), which were shown to increase plasma homocysteine (tHcy) concentration. In order to reveal the cause of the
