Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticitrulline autoantibodies. Recent evidences suggest that impairment of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) could exert substantial influence on RA pathogenesis. The production of NETs depends heavily on the ROS generation. One of its mechanisms is xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) mediated degradation of purine metabolites. Analysis of pro-oxidant activity of the enzymatic complex XOR and its constituents, xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDG), is an issue of considerable interest in this context.Objectives:Evaluation of XO and XDG activities in RF-positive and RF-negative RA using both plasma and lysed lymphocyte samples.Methods:The research was carried out in agreement with the WMA Declaration of Helsinki principles. Diagnosis of RA had been verified using ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria. Enzymatic activities in plasma and lymphocytes were measured spectrophotometrically and expressed as nmol/min/ml. Enzymatic activities in lymphocytes were also normalized to 1×107 cells/ml. Statististical tests were selected in line with common guidelines. Differences were considered significant when p<0.05. Reference ranges were calculated as means ±2SD.Results:75 adult RA patients (52 females and 23 males, mean age 43.9±0.97 years, mean disease duration 8.5±0.3 years) from the rheumatology unit of Volgograd Clinical Emergency Hospital #25 as well as 35 healthy controls were included in the study. RF-positive RA and RF-negative RA were observed in 49 (65.3%) and 26 (34.7%) patients, respectively. Reference ranges for plasma and lymphocyte XO activities were 2.60-3.96 and 14.2-27.8 nmol/min/ml, respectively. Similar ranges for XDG activities were 4.49-5.93 and 22.5-40.7 nmol/min/ml, respectively. Enzymatic profile of RA patients is characterized by significantly increased XO activity in plasma and decreased XO and XDG activities in lymphocytes (р<0.001). XO activity is increased (p<0.001), XDG activity is decreased (p<0.001) in blood plasma of patients with RF-negative RA, while the activity of both enzymes is decreased in lymphocytes (p<0.001). XO activity (p<0.001) and XDG activity (p<0.05) is increased in blood plasma, XO activity and XDG activity are decreased (p<0.001) in lymphocytes of patients with RF-positive RA. Plasma XO and XDG activities are also higher, and lymphocyte XO and XDG activities are lower in patients with RF-positive RA than in patients with RF-negative RA (р<0.001).Conclusion:Our study revealed the relationship between enzyme parameters and rheumatoid factor presence. More pronounced changes in the enzyme activities were observed in patients with RF-positive RA. These results demonstrate that activation of the xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase enzyme complex is an substantial factor of induction and continuation of the autoimmune rheumatoid inflammation.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the expression of the oncogenic kinase BCR-ABL. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against BCR-ABL represent the standard therapeutic option for CML, resistances to TKIs can be a serious problem. Thus, the search for novel therapeutic approaches is still needed. CML cells show an increased ROS production, which is required for maintaining the BCR-ABL signaling cascade active. In line with that, reducing ROS levels could be an interesting therapeutic strategy for the clinical management of resistant CML. To analyze the therapeutic potential of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) in CML, we tested the effect of XOR inhibitor allopurinol. Here, we show for the first time the therapeutic potential of allopurinol against BCR-ABL-positive CML cells. Allopurinol reduces the proliferation and clonogenic ability of the CML model cell lines K562 and KCL22. More importantly, the combination of allopurinol with imatinib or nilotinib reduced cell proliferation in a synergistic manner. Moreover, the co-treatment arms hampered cell clonogenic capacity and induced cell death more strongly than each single-agent arm. The reduction of intracellular ROS levels and the attenuation of the BCR-ABL signaling cascade may explain these effects. Finally, the self-renewal potential of primary bone marrow cells from CML patients was also severely reduced especially by the combination of allopurinol with TKIs. In summary, here we show that XOR inhibition is an interesting therapeutic option for CML, which can enhance the effectiveness of the TKIs currently used in clinics.

AbstractPlasma xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity is high in metabolic disorders such as diabetic mellitus, obesity, or overweight. Thus, this study investigated whether the XOR inhibitor, topiroxostat, affected body weight. Male db/db mice were fed standard diets with or without topiroxostat for 4 weeks. Body weight and food intake were constantly monitored, along with monitoring plasma biochemical markers, including insulin and XOR activity. Additionally, hepatic hypoxanthine and XOR activity were also documented. Single regression analysis was performed to determine the mechanism. Topiroxostat treatment suppressed weight gain relative to the vehicle without any impact on food intake. However, the weight of fat pads and hepatic and muscle triglyceride content did not change. Topiroxostat decreased the plasma uric acid and increased hepatic hypoxanthine in response to the inhibition of XOR activity. Plasma ketone body and free fatty acid were also increased. Moreover, fat weight was weakly associated with plasma XOR activity in the diabetic state and was negatively associated with ketone body by topiroxostat. These results suggested that topiroxostat amplified the burning of lipids and the salvage pathway, resulting in predisposing the body toward catabolism. The inhibition of plasma XOR activity may contribute to weight loss.
