Background on L-Mimosine

L-mimosine is a prolyl 4-hydroxylase inhibitor and acts as an iron chelator [1]. In rats, it interfered with the reconstitution of the active human prolyl 4-hydroxylase with an IC50 value of 120 µM [2].

Prolyl 4-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.2) is an α2β2 tetramer. It catalyses the formation of 4-hydroxyproline in coliagen via the hydroxylation of proline residues in the peptide linkage [3]. Prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain-containing protein (PHD) regulates HIF-1α levels in renal medulla and participates in controlling renal Na+ excretion [4].

L-mimosine acted as an inhibitor for prolyl 4-hydroxylase in cultured vascular cells. L-mimosine dose-dependently inhibited the activity of prolyl hydroxylase in rat and human smooth muscle cells (SMC) and at concentrations of 400-500 µM decreased hydroxyprolyl generation by 80-90%. At that concentration, [3H]proline incorporation was decreased by < 20% in human SMC and was increased by 20% in rat SMC. These results indicated that L-mimosine quite specifically inhibited prolyl hydroxylation [2].

In rats, the pretreatment with L-mimosine for 2 weeks significantly reduced the PHD activity in kidneys. This inhibition was greater in renal medulla than in renal cortex. Western blot analysis data demonstrated that L-mimosine significantly increased protein levels of HIF-1α in the kidneys from L-mimosine-treated rats, compared with vehicle-treated rats. In animals, the pretreatment with L-mimosine substantially increased HIF-1α levels in medulla and renal cortex, but the effect in the medulla was much greater than that in the cortex. Inhibitory effects on PHD activity and HIF-1α decoyed on HIF-1α transcriptional activities in renal medulla [4]

Expression of circadian core clock genes in fibroblasts of human gingiva and periodontal ligament is modulated by L-Mimosine and hypoxia in monolayer and spheroid cultures.[Pubmed:28350992]

Arch Oral Biol. 2017 Jul;79:95-99.

OBJECTIVE: The circadian clock is involved in a plethora of physiological processes including bone formation and tooth development. While expression of circadian core clock genes was observed in various tissues, their role in the periodontium is unclear. We hypothesized that periodontal cells express circadian core clock genes and that their levels are modulated by hypoxia mimetic agents and hypoxia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fibroblasts of human gingiva (GF) and periodontal ligament (PDLF) in monolayer and spheroid cultures were treated with the hypoxia mimetic agent L-Mimosine (L-MIM) or hypoxia. Reverse transcription and quantitative PCR were performed to assess the impact on mRNA levels of the circadian core clock genes Clock, Bmal1, Cry1, Cry2, Per1, Per2, and Per3. RESULTS: GF and PDLF expressed Clock, Bmal1, Cry1, Cry2, Per1, Per2, and Per3 in monolayer and spheroid cultures. In monolayer cultures, L-MIM significantly reduced Clock, Cry2, and Per3 mRNA expression in GF and Clock, Cry1, Cry2, Per1, and Per3 in PDLF. Hypoxia significantly reduced Clock, Cry2, and Per3 in GF and Cry1, Cry2, and Per3 in PDLF. In spheroid cultures, L-MIM significantly decreased Clock, Cry1, Cry2, and Per3 in GF and PDLF. Hypoxia significantly decreased Cry2 and Per3 in GF and Clock and Per3 in PDLF. CONCLUSIONS: GF and PDLF express circadian core clock genes. The hypoxia mimetic agent L-MIM and hypoxic conditions can decrease the expression of Clock, Cry1-2 and Per1 and Per3. The specific response depends on cell type and culture model. Future studies will show how this effect contributes to periodontal health and disease.

Inhibitory effect of l-mimosine on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats: Role of eIF3a and p27.[Pubmed:25957199]

Int Immunopharmacol. 2015 Jul;27(1):53-64.

It has also been shown that the decreased expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3a (eIF3a) by L-Mimosine caused cell cycle arrest. Our previous study has found that eIF3a is involved in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Whether the eIF3a/p27 signal pathway is involved in the inhibitory effect of L-Mimosine on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis remains unknown. Pulmonary fibrosis was induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (5 mg/kg) in rats. Primary pulmonary fibroblasts were cultured to investigate the proliferation by BrdU incorporation method and flow cytometry. The expression of eIF3a, p27, alpha-SMA, collagen I and collagen III was analyzed by qPCR and Western blot. In vivo, L-Mimosine treatment significantly ameliorated the bleomycin-mediated histological fibrosis alterations and blocked collagen deposition concomitantly with reversing bleomycin-induced expression up-regulation of eIF3a, alpha-SMA, collagen I and collagen III (both mRNA and protein) and expression down- regulation of p27. In vitro, L-Mimosine remarkably attenuated proliferation of pulmonary fibroblasts and expression of alpha-SMA, collagen I and collagen III induced by TGF-beta1, and this inhibitory effect of L-Mimosine was accompanied by inhibiting eIF3a expression and increasing p27 expression. Knockdown of eIF3a gene expression reversed TGF-beta1-induced proliferation of fibroblasts, down-regulation of p27 expression and up-regulation of alpha-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III expression. These results suggest that L-Mimosine inhibited the progression of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats via the eIF3a/p27 pathway.

Effects of Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor L-mimosine on Dental Pulp in the Presence of Advanced Glycation End Products.[Pubmed:26395911]

J Endod. 2015 Nov;41(11):1852-61.

INTRODUCTION: Proangiogenic prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitors represent a novel approach to stimulate tissue regeneration. Diabetes mellitus involves the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Here we evaluated the impact of AGEs on the response of human pulp tissue to the PHD inhibitor L-Mimosine (L-MIM) in monolayer cultures of dental pulp-derived cells (DPCs) and tooth slice organ cultures. METHODS: In monolayer cultures, DPCs were incubated with L-MIM and AGEs. Viability was assessed based on formazan formation, live-dead staining, annexin V/propidium iodide, and trypan blue exclusion assay. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 production was evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoassays. Furthermore, expression levels of odontoblast markers were assessed, and alizarin red staining was performed. Tooth slice organ cultures were performed, and VEGF, IL-6, and IL8 levels in their supernatants were measured by immunoassays. Pulp tissue vitality and morphology were assessed by MTT assay and histology. RESULTS: In monolayer cultures of DPCs, L-MIM at nontoxic concentrations increased the production of VEGF and IL-8 in the presence of AGEs. Stimulation with L-MIM decreased alkaline phosphatase levels and matrix mineralization also in the presence of AGEs, whereas no significant changes in dentin matrix protein 1 and dentin sialophosphoprotein expression were observed. In tooth slice organ cultures, L-MIM increased VEGF but not IL-6 and IL-8 production in the presence of AGEs. The pulp tissue was vital, and no signs of apoptosis or necrosis were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, in the presence of AGEs, L-MIM increases the proangiogenic capacity, but decreases alkaline phosphatase expression and matrix mineralization.

In vitro release of dimethyloxaloylglycine and l-mimosine from bovine bone mineral.[Pubmed:24960117]

Arch Oral Biol. 2014 Oct;59(10):1024-31.

OBJECTIVE: Prolyl hydroxylases (PHD) are oxygen sensors and therefore pharmacological targets to stimulate periodontal regeneration. Here we evaluate the release profile of the PHD inhibitors dimethyloxaloylglycine and L-Mimosine from bone substitutes. MATERIALS: Dimethyloxaloylglycine and L-Mimosine were lyophilised onto bone substitutes including bovine bone mineral, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite. Release kinetic was evaluated by bioassays with gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts. We determined the capacity of PHD inhibitors to provoke VEGF expression and to repress metabolic activity and proliferation as assessed by immunoassay, MTT conversion and (3)[H]thymidine incorporation, respectively. RESULTS: We found that the PHD inhibitors are released from bovine bone mineral as indicated by the increase of VEGF production in gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Supernatants obtained after 1h also decreased metabolic activity and proliferation of the fibroblasts. A fibrin matrix prolonged the release of PHD inhibitors up to 192h. A similar cellular response was found when supernatants from PHD inhibitors loaded beta-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite embedded in fibrin were assessed. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion bone substitutes can serve as carriers for PHD inhibitors that maintain their capacity to provoke a pro-angiogenic response in vitro. These findings provide the basis for preclinical studies to evaluate if this release kinetic can stimulate periodontal regeneration.
