In addition to the key role in biosynthesis some aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases provide non-canonical functions. Particularly, separated fragments of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) involved into angiogenesis and inflammation. Meanwhile, the vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are central characteristics of the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH). The latest studies highlight a role of antibodies in physiopathology of EH. Aim. We had investigated the full-length TyrRS and its domains as autoantigens in sera of the persons with EH (n = 25), the healthy individuals with family history of the pathology (n = 12), and in the control group of healthy subjects (n = 32). Methods. The recombinant TyrRS and its separated domains coupled with His-tags and generated by Escherichia coli were purified by chromatography on Ni-NTA-agarose. The levels of specific autoantibodies (aAbs) in sera of volunteers were measured by ELISA and confirmed in an immunoblotting assay. Results. Some subjects with elevated levels of aAbs against the full-length enzyme were detected in the cohort studies. 52 % of the persons with EH as immunoreactive against miniTyrRS (p < < 0.001) and 50 % against CTD (p = 0.002) were identified. In 50 % of the healthy individuals with family history of EH (p = 0.037) the levels of anti-CTD aAbs were elevated. Conclusions.The increased levels of aAbs against miniTyrRS and CTD in sera of the persons with EH potentially may be used as a prognostic marker of the disease severity or therapy effectiveness. Moreover, the immunoreactivity of healthy individuals with family history of EH against CTD may be an early marker of hypertension.
Окрім ключової ролі у біосинтезі білка певні аміноацил-тРНК синтетази виконують також неканонічні функції. Зокрема окремі домени тирозил-тРНК синтетази залучені до ангіогенезу та запальних реакцій. Тим часом, судинні запалення і дисфункція ендотелію є центральними характеристиками патогенезу гіпертонічної хвороби (ГБ). Останні дослідження підкреслюють роль антитіл в патофізіології ГБ. Мета. Дослідити повнорозмірну TyrRS і її окремі домени як аутоантигени в сироватках осіб з ГБ (n = 25), у здорових осіб з сімейною історією патології (n = 12), і в контрольній групі здорових осіб (n = 32). Методи. Ре­ком­бінантна TyrRS і її окремі домени, пов'язані з His-теґами, експресувалися в клітинах E. coli, та очищалися хроматографією на Ni-NTA-агарозе. Рівні специфічних аутоантитіл (aAbs) в сироватці добровольців були виміряні методом ІФА та підтверджені в імуноблотингу. Результати.Некоторие пацієнти з підвищеним рівнем aAbs проти повнорозмірного ферменту були виявлені в когортних дослідженнях. 52 % осіб з ГБ були ідентифіковані як імунореактивні проти mi­niTyrRS (р < 0,001) і 50 % проти CTD (р = 0,002). У 50 % здорових осіб з сімейною історією ГБ (р = 0,037) рівні анти-CTD aAbs бу­ли підвищені. Висновки. Збільшення рівнів aAbs проти miniTyrRS і CTD у сироватці осіб з ГБ потенційно може бути використане як прогностичний маркер ступеня тяжкості захворювання та ефективності терапії. Крім того, імунореактивність проти CTD здорових людей з сімейною історією ГБ може бути раннім маркером гіпертонії.
Кроме ключевой роли в процессе биосинтеза белка ряд аминоацил-тРНК синтетаз также исполняют, так называемые, неканонические функции. В частности, отдельные домены тирозил-тРНК синтетазы вовлечены в ангиогенез и воспалительные реакции. Между тем, сосудистой воспаление и дисфункция эндотелия яв­ля­ются центральными характеристиками патогенеза гипер­тонической болезни (ГБ). Последние исследования подчеркивают роль антител в патофизиологии ГБ. Цель. Исследовать полноразмерную TyrRS и ее отдельные домены как аутоантигены в сыворотках лиц с ГБ (n = 25), у здоровых лиц с семейной историей патологии (n = 12), и в контрольной группе здоровых лиц (n = 32). Методы. Рекомбинантная TyrRS и ее отдельные домены, связанные с His-тегами и экспрессированные в E. coli, очищали хроматографией на Ni-NTA-агарозе. Уровни специфических аутоантител (aAbs) в сыворотке добровольцев были измерены методом ИФА и подтверждены в иммуноблоттинге. Результаты.Некоторые пациенты с повышенным уровнем aAbs против полноразмерного фермента были обнаружены в когортных исследованиях. 52 % лиц с ГБ были идентифицированы как иммунореактивные против miniTyrRS (р < 0,001) и 50 % против CTD (р = 0,002). У 50 % здоровых лиц с семейной историей ГБ (р = 0,037) уровни анти-CTD aAbs были повышены. Выводы. Увеличение уровней aAbs против miniTyrRS и CTD в сыворотке у лиц с ГБ потенциально может быть использовано в качестве прогностического маркера степени тяжести заболевания и эффективности терапии. Кроме того, иммунореактивность против CTD здоровых людей с семейной историей ГБ может быть ранним маркером гипертонии.

The aminoacylation reac- tion, catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, at- taches each amino acid to its cognate tRNA [1, 2]. In addition to the aminoacylation, tRNA synthetases per- form other non-canonical functions due to the interac- tions with various cellular partners [3]. New missions can be associated with their cytoplasmic forms as well as with nuclear and secreted extracellular forms that af- fect the signaling, immune response, and pathways of the cardiovascular development [4, 5]. Considering the functional versatility of ARSs, their expanded functions and expression may be associated with the pathology of various human diseases [6]. These enzymes are im- plicated into the neuronal diseases [7–9], tumorogene- 256 M. Yu. Grom, L. F. Yakovenko, V. M. Granich et al. sis, [10], autoimmune diseases, namely, antisyn- thetases syndrom [11–13], and heart failure [14]. The native mammalian TyrRS is a procytokine [15]. Under apoptotic conditions, it can be secreted and split by leukocyte elastase into two fragments with distinct cytokine properties [16, 17]. The N-ter minal catalytic fragment (miniTyrRS) with a Glu-Leu-Arg (ELR) cytokine motif is a potent promoter of the an- giogenesis [18] and polymorphonuclear leu kocytes recruitment [19, 20]. The C-terminal domain (CTD) has a high sequence similarity to the mature form of the pro-infl ammatory cytokine-like protein known as hu man Endothelial-Monocyte-Activating Poly- pep ti de (EMAP II) [21] endowed with angiogenic properties [22, 23]. Considering that the functional diversity of ARSs is often associated with pathological conditions, and that the separated domains of TyrRS are actively involved in the angiogenesis, we inferred a role of TyrRS in the cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, taking into account the capacity of the enzyme fragments to endothelio- cytes recruitment [24–27], probably TyrRS is patho- logically associated with essential hypertension (EH). The latest studies are focused on the activities of TyrRS domains in the treatment of cardiovascular dis- eases (CVD) [28–30], but they do not consider the im- portance of specifi c autoantibodies (aAbs) against TyrRS and its natural fragments. Meanwhile, the role of antibodies in the pathogenesis of CVD, including EH, is highlighted [31]. Therefore, the investigation of aAbs against TyrRS and its natural fragments can im- prove our understanding of an importance of the en- zyme and its separated domains in health and patholo- gies in general, EH in particular. The purpose of this study was to identify the autoantibodies against TyrRS and its individual modules in sera of the persons with EH, the healthy individuals with family history of EH, and the normal healthy subjects in a control group. Materials and Methods Patients and Sera 128 persons with EH were examined (35.3 % fema- les and 64.7 % males; mean ± SD ages 48.4 ± 27,6). All of them had high blood pressure from 7 to 20 years. Serum samples were selected from 25 well-charac- terized persons with EH and with or without target or- gan damage, 12 healthy individuals with fa mily history of EH, and 32 healthy volunteers. The males were re- cruited into all of the cohort studies in a higher propor- tion. This research was conducted in compliance with the declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the local ethics committee in the National Scientifi c Center «M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Car diology» of NAMS of Ukraine. All subjects were informed of the study purposes, and their informed consents were obtained. Production and purifi cation of TyrRS and its separated domains Generation of the recombinant full-length His-TyrRS (528 aa), His-miniTyrRS (362 aa), and His-CTD (166 aa) of Bos taurus has been performed according to our previous report [14]. The use of the bovine proteins is valid because of a high identity to the human TyrRS and its natural fragments (≈95 %). The constructed plasmid vectors designated as pET-30a-TyrRS, pET- 30a-miniTyrRS, and pET-30a-His-CTD were trans- formed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysE cells (Novagen, Madison, WI) grown in Lysogeny broth (LB) at 37 C to optical density (OD) of 0.7–0.9 (600 nm). The ex- pression of recombinant proteins with 1 mM iso pro- pyl-β-D(2)-thioga lacto pyra noside (IPTG, Fermentas, Cam bridge, United Kin gdom) was induced for 4 h. Affi nity purifi cation of the recombinant proteins from the cultural media using nickelnitriloacetic acid (Ni- NTA resin, Thermo Scientifi c, USA) was carried out according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The purity of His-TyrRS, His-mini-TyrRS, and His- CTD was confi r med by sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly- acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using a mixture of mar ker proteins (Fermentas, Lithuania). ELISA assay Specifi c binding of serum IgG aAbs to the recombi- nant enzyme or its separated domains was analy zed using direct solidphase ELISA. TyrRS, miniTyrRS, or CTD (1 μg/well) in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) were incubated in 96-well polysty- rene plates. Then the plates were washed ten ti mes with PBS containing 0.1 % Tween-20 (PBS-T), and, in order to block non-specifi c binding, the samples 257 Autoantibodies against tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase and its separated domains at essential hypertension were incubated for 1 h at 37 C with 100 μl of PBS-T added to each well. Subsequently, the wells loaded with 1 : 50 diluted aliquots of sera were incubated for 18 h at 4 C after washing with PBS-T. 100 μl of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti- human IgG antibodies (Sigma, USA) were added to each well and incubated for 1 h at 37 C. The plates were washed again with PBS-T, then with the sub- strate solution, containing 0.02 % H2O2, 0.1 M cit- rate-phosphate buffer (pH 5.8), and 0.5 mg/mL 2,2’- azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) sodium salt (Sigma, USA), was added to each well. After 20 min of incubation at 37 C, the absorbance was measured at 405 nm in ELISA reader. PBS, pre- immune serum of rabbit, and secondary antibodies served as negative controls. The sera from immu- nized by the full-length TyrRS rabbits were used as positive controls. For each sample, the OD of the un- coated well was subtracted from the OD of the coat- ed well and then subjected to the data analysis. The OD values greater than the mean + 2 SD values of the normal controls were considered as positive. Western blot analysis of recombinant peptides The bacterially expressed His-TyrRS, His-miniTyrRS, and His-CTD recombinant proteins were boiled, re- solved by 12 % SDS-PAGE, and electrotransferred to the nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham Bios ci- ence, Germany). The membrane was divided into strips and blocked by 5 % non-fat milk in PBS-T for 1 h at room temperature followed by a triple wash with PBS containing 0.1 % Tween-20. The strips with PBS-T, immunized by TyrRS rabbit serum (1 : 75), and sera of the control healthy individuals, or the healthy sub- jects with family history of CVD, or the patients with EH (1:100) were incubated for 18 h at 4 C. The peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Sigma, USA) to the strips after washing and incubated were added for 1 h at a room temperature. The strips were washed, and the immunoreactivity was detected by ChemiDoc System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). Statistical analysis All statistical analyses were performed using the Sta- tistica software, version 7.0. Differences in non-par- ametric data were tested by the Mann–Whitney test. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statisti- cally signifi cant. Results Production and characterization of recombinant TyrRS, miniTyrRS, and CTD To generate the recombinant full-length TyrRS, mi ni- TyrRS, and CTD, we expressed them in the E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysE cells using the pET-30a expression system and His-tag sequence in order to facilitate the purifi cation of the recombinant proteins. After induc- tion with IPTG we observed high levels of the His- TyrRS, His-miniTyrRS, and His-CTD expression in bacterial cells. Then recombinant proteins were puri- fi ed on Ni-NTA agarose under denaturing conditions. The required purity (more than 95 %) of the proteins was confi rmed by SDS-PAGE (data not shown).

Data (D–F) are presented as box plots, where the boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentiles, the points within the boxes represent the median, and the lines outside the boxes represent the minimum and maximum values. Differences were ana- lyzed by the Mann–Whitney U-test 259 Autoantibodies against tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase and its separated domains at essential hypertension the healthy individuals with family history of EH, and the normal controls was assessed by ELISA. The serum sam- ples with OD values greater than the mean +2SD values of the controls were considered as positive. Anti-TyrRS (6.2 %), anti-miniTyrRS (15.6 %), and anti-CTD (24 %) aAbs were detected in serum sam- ples of the healthy volunteers (data not shown). Anti-TyrRS positive sera in 12 % (3 of 25) of the persons with EH were observed (Fig. 1). The elevat- ed levels of anti-miniTyrRS antidobies were detected in 52 % (13 of 25) of the persons with EH (Fig. 2, A). Anti-CTD positive sera were shown in 60 % (15 of 25) of the persons with EH and 50 % (6 of 12) of the individuals with family history of EH (Fig. 2, B). The serum anti-miniTyrRS concentrations were sig- nifi cantly higher in the persons with EH compared with those in the Ab-negative normal healthy volun- teers (p < 0.001). The serum levels of anti-CTD aAbs were elevated not only among the persons with EH (p = 0.002), but also among the healthy individuals with family history of the pathology (p = 0.037). Detection of anti-TyrRS, anti-mini-TyrRS, and anti-CTD aAbs by Western blotting The ELISA representative serum samples (positive, poorly and moderate reactive) of each group were subsequently confi rmed by Western blotting against the full-length TyrRS (Fig. 3, A) and its natural frag- ments (Fig. 3, B). Discussion and Conclusion A lot of studies postulate a role of autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of hypertension [32]. For several decades it was known that EH is associated with the elevated serum levels of IgG and IgM autoantibodies [33, 34]. They can be involved into pathogenic reac- tions by binding to antigens expressed on the surface of endogenous cells, that leads to the destruction of cells via complement- or leukocyte-dependent inter- actions (type II hypersensitivity reaction) [35]. aAbs may form «immune complexes», that can be deposit- ed in various tissues and cause the local infl ammatory responses (type III hypersensitivity) [36]. They also can act as non-immunogenic agonists to the receptors (so-called «type V hypersensitivity»). The numerous studies demonstrate the importance of autoantibodies against theangiotensin II type-1 re- ceptors, [37, 38], alpha-1 adrenergic receptors [39], beta-1 adrenergic receptors [40], L-type voltage gated Fig. 3.

Granich et al. calcium channels [41], and heat shock proteins 70 and 60 [42–44] in the hypertension pathogenesis. The role of TyrRS and its natural fragments as well as autoanti- bodies against them in EH remains unknown. EH is a multifactorial disease with indefi nite etiol- ogy, its pathogenesis is clearly associated with the development of vascular endothelial dysfunction, cha- racterized by pro-trombotic, pro-infl ammatory and pro-constrictive vessel status [45]. Meanwhile, the endotheliocytes recruitment and the pro-infl amma- tory effects are the key properties of both distinct domains of TyrRS. [5, 17]. Considering all these facts, the involvement of natural fragments of the enzyme into pathogenesis of EH is quite possible. This is the fi rst investigation of the serum immu- noreactivity of the persons with EH, the healthy in- dividuals with family history of EH, and the healthy subjects against TyrRS and its separated domains. The study demonstrates the presence of persons with elevated levels of autoantibodies against the full- length enzyme, miniTyrRS, and CTD in the normal healthy cohort. Such kind of immunoreactivity can be stipulated by some undetected infl ammatory proc- ess that resulted in the secretion of TyrRS or the ap- pearance of the full-length protein in the intercellular space due to apoptosis. Our data demonstrate the sig- nifi cant immunoreactivity against mini-TyrRS (52 %) and CTD (60 %) among the persons with EH. Surp- risingly, we found out the increased levels of autoan- tibodies against CTD in sera of 50 % of the healthy individuals with family history of the pathology. Difference in the values of aAbs against the full- length enzyme and its natural fragments can be ex- plained by the potential existence of the epitopes which are responsible for the cytokine activities and are sequestered in a native form by each other. The regions of cytokine activity – ELR on miniTyrRS and heptapeptide (Arg13-Thr19) on the N-terminus of CTD – in the full-length TyrRS have «face-to- face» orientation, conditioned by the electrostatic in- teractions [46]. Under the apoptotic conditions, spe- cifi cally infl ammation, the native enzyme is secreted into intercellular space and can be cleaved by a ex- tracellular protease such as leukocyte elastase. Mo- reover, the regions of cytokine activity can be un- masked in a cell via tRNA connection [46]. As a re- sult, both sequences providing the cytokine activity, become available and two distinct fragments obtain new cytokine functions [16]. It seems absolutely logically to assume normally hidden sequences to be extremely immunogenic. The immunoreactivity of the persons with EH as well as of the individuals with family history of pathology suggests the presence of natural fragments of TyrRS, the formation of which is possible in terms of infl ammation [17], known to be a component of the EH pathogenesis. Earlier we have demonstrated the TyrRS and its sep- arated domains as autoantigens in heart failure caused by the dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and ischem- ic heart disease [14]. The highest immunoreactivity for the full-length enzyme and the lowest for CTD were revealed. According to our recent fi ndings in sera of the patients with hypertension the highest levels of aAbs were found against the CTD and the lowest against the full-length enzyme. The data comparison suggests po- tential involvement of aAbs against CTD and mini- TyrRS into the EH pathogenesis. A practical signifi cance of TyrRS and its separated domains is a «double-edged weapon». On the one hand, TyrRS is one of eight aminoacyl-tRNA syn- thetases involved into the antisynthetase syndrome [12], its mutant form occurs in Charcot-Marie-Tooth hereditary neuropathy [47]. On the other hand, mini- TyrRs is a potential drug in the myocardial ischemia treatment [30]. Its particular role also was demon- strated in the platelet recovery in the patients suffer- ing from the life-threatening thrombocytopenia or the bone marrow failure [28]. For recovery of cardi- ac function after myocardial infarction [29] CTD can be applied as an antiangiogenic stimulus [27]. However, the infl uence of aAbs on TyrRS and its separated domains in the disease pathogenesis as well as in the treatment strategies remains to be elu- cidated. Potentially, the elevated levels of autoanti- bodies against mini-TyrRS and CTD in sera of the persons with EH may be used as prognostic markers of the EH severity or the therapy effectiveness. Moreover, the immunoreactivity of healthy individ- uals with family history of EH against CTD may be an early marker of hypertension. 261 Autoantibodies against tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase and its separated domains at essential hypertension Declaration of Interest The authors report no confl icts of interest.

Аутоантитіла проти тирозил-тРНК синтетази та її окремих доменів при гіпертонічній хворобі М. Ю. Гром, Л. Ф. Яковенко, В. М. Гранiч, Г. С. Доброход, О. О. Торбас, Г. Д. Радченко, Ю. М. Сиренко, Л. Л. Сидорик, О. І. Корнелюк Окрім ключової ролі у біосинтезі білка певні аміноацил- тРНК синтетази виконують також неканонічні функції. Зокрема окремі домени тирозил-тРНК синтетази залучені до ангіогенезу та запальних реакцій. Тим часом, судинні за- палення і дисфункція ендотелію є центральними характе- ристиками патогенезу гіпертонічної хвороби (ГБ). Останні дослідження підкреслюють роль антитіл в патофізіології ГБ. Мета. Дослідити повнорозмірну TyrRS і її окремі доме- ни як аутоантигени в сироватках осіб з ГБ (n = 25), у здоро- вих осіб з сімейною історією патології (n = 12), і в контр- ольній групі здорових осіб (n = 32). Методи. Ре ком бінантна TyrRS і її окремі домени, пов'язані з His-теґами, експресува- лися в клітинах E.coli, та очищалися хроматографією на Ni- NTA-агарозе. Рівні специфічних аутоантитіл (aAbs) в сиро- ватці добровольців були виміряні методом ІФА та підтвер- джені в імуноблотингу. Результати.Некоторие пацієнти з підвищеним рівнем aAbs проти повнорозмірного ферменту були виявлені в когортних дослідженнях. 52 % осіб з ГБ були ідентифіковані як імунореактивні проти mi niTyrRS (р < 0,001) і 50 % проти CTD (р = 0,002). У 50 % здорових осіб 263 Autoantibodies against tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase and its separated domains at essential hypertension з сімейною історією ГБ (р = 0,037) рівні анти-CTD aAbs бу- ли підвищені. Висновки. Збільшення рівнів aAbs проти mi- niTyrRS і CTD у сироватці осіб з ГБ потенційно може бути використане як прогностичний маркер ступеня тяжкості за- хворювання та ефективності терапії. Крім того, імунореак- тивність проти CTD здорових людей з сімейною історією ГБ може бути раннім маркером гіпертонії.

Аутоантитела против тирозил-тРНК синтетазы и ее отдельных доменов при гипертонической болезни М. Ю. Гром, Л. Ф. Яковенко, В. Н. Гранич, А. С. Доброход, Е. А. Торбас, А. Д. Радченко, Ю. М. Сиренко, Л. Л. Сидорик, А. И. Корнелюк Кроме ключевой роли в процессе биосинтеза белка ряд аминоа- цил-тРНК синтетаз также исполняют, так называемые, некано- нические функции. В частности, отдельные домены тирозил- тРНК синтетазы вовлечены в ангиогенез и воспалительные ре- акции. Между тем, сосудистой воспаление и дисфункция эндотелия яв ля ются центральными характеристиками пато- генеза гипер тонической болезни (ГБ). Последние исследо- вания подчеркивают роль антител в патофизиологии ГБ. Цель. Исследовать полноразмерную TyrRS и ее отдельные домены как аутоантигены в сыворотках лиц с ГБ (n = 25), у здоровых лиц с семейной историей патологии (n = 12), и в контрольной группе здоровых лиц (n = 32). Методы. Реком- бинантная TyrRS и ее отдельные домены, связанные с His- тегами и экспрессированные в E. coli, очищали хроматогра- фией на Ni-NTA-агарозе. Уровни специфических аутоанти- тел (aAbs) в сыворотке добровольцев были измерены мето- дом ИФА и подтверждены в иммуноблоттинге. Результаты. Некоторые пациенты с повышенным уровнем aAbs против полноразмерного фермента были обнаружены в когортных исследованиях. 52 % лиц с ГБ были идентифицированы как иммунореактивные против miniTyrRS (р < 0,001) и 50 % про- тив CTD (р = 0,002). У 50 % здоровых лиц с семейной исто- рией ГБ (р = 0,037) уровни анти-CTD aAbs были повышены. Выводы.
