Complexity of Advanced Glycation End Products in Foods: Where Are We Now? Yingdong Zhu, Hunter Snooks, and Shengmin Sang* Laboratory for Functional Foods and Human Health, Center for Excellence in Post-Harvest Technologies, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, North Carolina Research Campus, 500 Laureate Way, Kannapolis, North Carolina 28081, United States ABSTRACT: Recent clinical trials indicate that consumption of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may promote the development of major chronic diseases. However, the outcomes of human studies have proven inconclusive as a result of estimates of the total AGE intake being taken with a single AGE in most of the studies. In this perspective, we summarized the major types of AGEs derived from proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids during food processing and suggested a panel of AGEs as markers to better measure the intake of total dietary AGEs in human studies. KEYWORDS: dietary AGEs, amino acids, chronic disease, dicarbonyls, Maillard reactions, nucleotides, phospholipids

nucleic acids give rise to various types of dietary AGEs during cooking. Intermolecular cross-linking between proteins, proteins and DNA, or proteins and lipids, induced by dicarbonyls, would further increase the complexity of dietary AGEs. It is unlikely that one single specific AGE is able to reflect the complexities of total AGEs in different diets. Determination of total AGE levels only based on CML contents, therefore, is prone to obscure differences of AGEs between two groups in human intervention studies, eventually leading to conflicting outcomes. The goal of this perspective is to summarize major types of AGEs derived from reactive proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids in cooked foods. We expect to emphasize that measurement of total AGEs based on CML alone may make evaluations of the effects of dietary AGE intake on risk factors of chronic diseases in human studies pointless.

dvanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a large, heterogeneous group of compounds that originated from the non-enzymatic Maillard reactions between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids1,2 and can be generated both in vitro and in vivo.3 The major precursors of AGEs generated during Maillard reactions are the reactive dicarbonyl species, with glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), and 3deoxyglucosone (3-DG) being the major species.4,5 Important sites of glycation are lysyl side chains, N-terminal amino groups, and arginyl guanidine groups of proteins, guanyl bases of nucleotides, and amino groups of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS).5 It has been widely accepted that AGEs in vivo contribute to the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, including diabetes and diabetic complications,6 neurodegenerative diseases,2 and cardiovascular and kidney diseases.7 Increasing evidence suggests dietary AGEs as important contributors to the AGE pool of the body, where they become indistinguishable from endogenous AGEs, in both structure and function.8 Recent systematic reviews in clinical trials indicate that consumption of dietary AGEs may promote risk factors associated with chronic diseases, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance.1,5,9 However, there are also studies showing no differences for circulating biomarkers of inflammation levels between interventions after high AGE consumption in both healthy adults10,11 and diabetic patients.12,13 Moreover, the studies that examined the effect of a high AGE diet on risk factors for type 2 diabetes in healthy populations10,14 and insulin resistance in diabetic patients12−14 were conflicting. As reviewed, all studies used cooking methods to generate differences in AGEs between diets.9 Total AGE levels in diets were evaluated mostly on the basis of the content of lysinederived AGE, N-ε-carboxymethyllysine (CML), which was quantified mainly by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS) or estimated from an AGE database.5,9 CML was the first AGE detected in foods and usually used as a marker of AGEs in foods.15 Nevertheless, different diets rich in different compositions and amounts of proteins, lipids, and © 2018 American Chemical Society

LYSINE-DERIVED AGES ARE NOT THE ONLY DOMINATING AMINO-ACID-DERIVED AGES IN FOODS Many different types of amino-acid-derived AGEs have been found in foods, which were mainly tied to the glycation of lysine, arginine, and cysteine residues.15 The primary amino group in the side chains of lysine is the most reactive precursor amine in proteins; a large number of lysine-derived AGEs, therefore, can form during food processing. However, the AGEs that have been unambiguously identified and quantified in processed foods remains quite few.4 To date, the major lysinederived AGEs found include CML and N-ε-carboxyethyllysine (CEL), pyrraline in milk, pasta, and bakery products, pronyllysine in the crusts and crumbs of bread, and lysine dimers [glyoxal-lysine dimer (GOLD), methylglyoxal-lysine dimer (MOLD), and 3-deoxyglucosone-lysine dimer (DOLD)] in bakery products (Figure 1).4 Among them, CML is the most Received: Revised: Accepted: Published: 1325

molecules of MGO and arginine, was found only at low levels in milk products but was found in greater concentrations in bakery products (up to 1400 μmol/kg) compared to CML in the bakery products (up to 320 μmol/kg).5 This may lead to underestimation of the contents of AGEs in bakery products compared to milk if AGE concentrations are measured solely based on CML contents. Additionally, in the process of making coffee, up to 30% of arginine is modified to argpyrimidine, and argpyrimidine seems to be even more important and probably a more useful marker for AGEs than CML in coffee.5 Other arginine derivatives, pentosidine with 5−10 mg/kg of protein in roasted coffee and up to 35 mg/kg of protein in some bakery products as well as arginine cross-links [methylglyoxal-derived imidazolium cross-linking (MODIC), glyoxal-derived imidazolium cross-linking (GODIC), and 3-deoxyglucosone-derived imidazolium cross-linking (DODIC)] with 10−150 mg/kg of protein in bakery products also contribute to AGE pools in foods.5 Thus, to avoid measurement errors of total AGEs in diets, contents of arginine-derived AGEs may be considered as equally important as CML. The thiol side chains in cysteine residues are even more reactive nucleophiles to dicarbonyls than lysine and arginine under a condition of low pKa.17 It is reported that cysteine residues rapidly react with dicarbonyls to give rise to

Reportedly, cooked pork, beef, and chicken (121 °C for 10 min) contained around 9.8, 13.4, and 8.2 mg/kg of free plus protein-bound CML, respectively.15 The levels of CEL in meat products have been shown to be close to CML.15 Pyrraline, a product of lysine and 3-DG, has been quantified in several foods, such as milk, bakery products, and pasta.4 Concentrations found ranged from 150 mg/kg of protein in sterilized milk up to 3700 mg/kg of protein in bread crusts, suggesting that pyrraline represents one of the quantitatively dominating AGEs in foods.4 However, unlike CML, little attention has been paid to CEL or pyrraline as markers to reflect total AGEs in human trials. The guanidino side chain of arginine is a target for glycation by dicarbonyls, such as MGO, GO, and 3-DG, forming respective arginine-derived AGEs, including MGO hydroimidazolones (MG-Hs), GO hydroimidazolones (G-Hs), 3DG hydroimidazolones (DG-Hs), and other derivatives (Figure 1). MG-Hs comprise the most prevalent arginine-derived AGEs in foods, which are formed as a mixture of three isomers (MGH1, MG-H2, and MG-H3) by arginine residues in protein with MGO.16 Interestingly, argpyrimidine, a product from two 1326

thiohemiacetal adducts,18 which, in the case of GO, is followed by an intramolecular Cannizzaro-type rearrangement to form a major stable product, S-(carboxymethyl)cysteine (CMC) (Figure 1).17 Protein-bound CMC is able to bear the harsh conditions of acid hydrolysis (e.g., 110 °C) used to hydrolyze the derivatized protein prior to analysis.17 The percentage conversion of thiol groups to CMC is substrate-dependent and ≤32%.17 CMC has recently been identified as an AGE both in vitro and in vivo.17,19 CMC appears to be a stable potential marker of glycation reactions on proteins, but its formation and contents in cooked foods have not yet been investigated. Furthermore, cysteine derivatives from other dicarbonyls, such as MGO and 3-DG, are unclear thus far. Other amino acids, such as histidine with an imidazole side chain and tryptophan with an indole side chain, can also be modified during protein glycation and glycoxidation reactions.17 As a matter of fact, N-terminal amino groups in all amino acids are able to act as nucleophiles and readily react with 1,2-dicarbonyls to form adducts.17 It is reasonable to hypothesize that glycation on the imidazole side chain of histidine, the indole side chain of tryptophan, and N-terminal amino groups in all amino acids in diets takes place during the cooking process. Thus, to more accurately evaluate intake of total AGEs in diets, contents of AGEs derived from lysine, arginine, and cysteine rather CML alone should be measured at the same time. In addition, more efforts to investigate AGEs derived from the imidazole side chain of histidine, the indole side chain of tryptophan, and N-terminal amino groups of all amino acids should be made in the future.

Regardless, the formation and contents of nucleotide AGEs in food has not yet been investigated. The possible contribution of nucleotide AGEs to total AGEs in diets is obviously underinvestigated in human intervention studies.

PHOSPHOLIPID AGES SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE DIETARY AGE POOL Amino residues of membrane lipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS), are also targets for glycation. In vivo studies have already confirmed that PE is exposed to glycation under hyperglycemic conditions, yielding Amadori-PE (deoxy-D-fructosyl PE) (Figure 2) as the principal product.25 Plasma Amadori-PE levels were found to be 1.8−3.6 times higher in diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects.25 These early glycation products of PE can be further transformed to a wide spectrum of glycation end products of PE (AGE-PE), such as N-carboxymethyl-PE (CM-PE) and Ncarboxyethyl-PE (CE-PE) (Figure 2). CM-PE and CE-PE have also been detected in human erythrocytes and plasma by LC− MS/MS.26 On the other hand, numerous food matrices contain abundant contents of phospholipids (PLs), particularly for dairy products with PL levels ranging from 3.6 to 479.5 mg/100 g of product.27 Only a few studies, thus far, have confirmed the presence of Amadori products of PE and PS in milk powders by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization−mass spectrometry

POSSIBLE ROLE OF NUCLEOTIDE AGES IN FOODS IS UNDERINVESTIGATED The guanyl bases in nucleic acids can act as strong nucleophiles to attack dicarbonyls. Among DNA nucleobases, guanine was the most reactive with GO and MGO, followed by adenine and cytosine, and thymine did not react because it does not have a free amino group.20 Limited studies showed that dicarbonyl glycation of DNA forms nucleotide AGEs.21 MGO and GO reacted with deoxyguanosine to form reversible cyclic adducts, methylglyoxal-deoxyguanosine (MG-dG) and glyoxal-deoxy1327

However, contents of glycated PLs in foods have not yet been determined. Irrespective of varieties of PL AGEs, PL AGEs should be one part of the total AGEs in diets.

CROSS-LINKS INDUCED BY DICARBONYLS ARE COMMON DIETARY AGES The bifunctional nature of dicarbonyls can lead to the formation of protein−protein, protein−DNA, and DNA− DNA cross-links.22 Cross-links between arginine and lysine (Figure 1), such as GODIC, MODIC, DODIC, glucosepan, and pentosidine, have been found in the milligrams per kilogram range in bakery products,5 of which MODIC and GODIC are the major food protein cross-links derived from MGO and GO, respectively. Other cross-links, such as DNA− protein cross-links and DNA−DNA cross-links, have also been found in vitro and in cultured cells,22 but whether these crosslinks are present in diets is not yet known.

ESTABLISHMENT OF A PANEL OF AGE MARKERS FOR GLYCATION IN DIETS MAY IMPROVE ACCURACY OF TOTAL AGE MEASUREMENT IN HUMAN STUDIES The Maillard reaction extensively and readily occurs on proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids in foodstuffs while cooking. In particular, the free amino group in lysine, the guanidine group in arginine, the thiol group in cysteine, the guanyl base in nucleotides, and the amino residue in PLs are highly reactive targets for glycation, forming their respective AGEs, such as CML and CEL, MG-Hs and G-Hs, CMC, MGdG and G-dG, and Amadori-PLs, which represent major types of AGEs in foods. Markers of glycation in foods cannot be unique; therefore, using one specific AGE, derived from specific food components, to evaluate the total AGEs in diets is unlikely to exactly reflect the differences in AGE levels between a highAGE diet, low-AGE diet, and control in human intervention studies. We propose here that a panel of AGE markers, including CML and CEL from lysine, MG-H1 and G-H1 from arginine, CMC from cysteine, MG-dG and G-dG from nucleotides, and Amadori-PL from PLs, could be used to better estimate the intake of total dietary AGEs and eventually enhance the estimation of the effects of dietary AGE intake on risk factors of chronic diseases in human studies. Determination of a panel of AGE markers in commonly consumed human foods helps to establish more comprehensive databases regarding the levels of major types of AGEs in foodstuffs, which can serve as important references to estimate the intake of dietary AGEs in future studies. However, one of the main challenges in this area of research is that most of these free AGEs are not commercially available. To advance AGE research, the first step is to synthesize the major AGEs and then use them as standards to develop analytical methods to quantify them in foodstuffs. The panel of AGE markers (eight AGEs) mentioned above contain acid- or heat-labile AGEs, such as MG-H1 and G-H1 from arginine.4 Therefore, use of a cocktail from proteolytic enzymes for hydrolysis of protein-bound AGEs, instead of acid hydrolysis, is much more suitable for food sample preparation.29 Meanwhile, simultaneous determination and quantification of an AGE marker pool in foodstuffs, using the LC−MS/MS method, is
