Upon release during protein turnover, they are not used in protein synthesis, but are excreted or metabolized by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) found in many tissues. DDAH is present in monocytic and polynuclear cells of blood, but no report has appeared of its presence in red blood cells (RBCs). Because methylated arginines can inhibit nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and elevations are reported in several diseases, we explored whether RBCs express this enzyme. DDAH is present in RBCs as supported by hydrolysis of both ADMA and L-NMMA, but not symmetric dimethylarginine, and by immunoprecipitation/Westem blot using a specific monoclonal antibody to human DDAH. In a pilot study of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, RBC DDAH activity with ADMA as substrate correlated inversely with age (p = 0.005) and enzyme activities were higher in patients with greater diastolic blood pressure drops during hemodialysis (p = 0.02). Similar correlations were found with white cell DDAH activity. Thus, human RBCs can hydrolyze methylated arginines. These findings indicate the RBC could be used to assess the status of DDAH in various disease states."xsd:string |
