Acetaldehyde can form protein-acetaldehyde adducts (AAs) in vivo and may play a role in the genesis of alcoholic liver disease. The nature of the chemical modification of proteins by acetaldehyde in vivo has not been elucidated. In vitro, acetaldehyde can form reversible adducts including a Schiff's base with lysine (K) and imidazolidinone with terminal amino groups of proteins such as human hemoglobin (Hb). In this study, we used FAB/MS to analyze the products of peptide-AAs (pep-AAs) formed by incubating acetaldehyde with Hb peptides. We then used an octabranched multiple antigen peptide (MAP) system containing Hb peptide-AAs to raise antibodies. Three Hb peptides [i.e., 8-pep consisting of 8 residues (V1HLTPVEK8) at the N-terminus of beta-chain of human sickle-cell Hb, 11-pep-gly consisting of 11 residues (G56NPKVKAHGKK66) in a segment of beta-chain rich in lysine, and 11-pep-pro that consists of the same sequence as 11-pep-gly, except G56 was replaced by proline (P)] were incubated with 1 mM acetaldehyde at 4 degrees C for 7d without NaCNBH3 (nonreduced conditions). Analysis by FAB/MS showed that 8-pep formed an imidazolidinone at the N-terminal valine, 11-pep-gly formed a Schiff's base and imidazolidinone at the N-terminus, whereas 11-pep-pro that lacks a free alpha-amino group formed only a Schiff's base at K59. By contrast, incubation of these Hb peptides with 250 mM acetaldehyde and NaCNBH3 at 37 degrees C for 1 hr (reduced conditions) produced mono- and diethylated modifications of all available K residues, as well as the N-terminal amino group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
