ICC/IF image of Aldose reductase stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab62795 at 5μg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti- rabbit (ab96899) IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

Aldose reductase also known as AR or ALR2 is an important enzyme in the polyol pathway. It has a molecular mass of about 36 kDa and reduces aldehydes including glucose to their corresponding alcohols. Aldose reductase is expressed widely in various tissues such as kidney lens and retina. The enzyme uses NADPH as a cofactor which is important for its catalytic activity.
Biological function summary

The main function of aldose reductase involves converting glucose to sorbitol a process particularly active under hyperglycemic conditions. It does not form a part of a larger complex but works individually to facilitate this conversion. Sorbitol the product of its enzymatic reaction eventually converts to fructose through the action of sorbitol dehydrogenase. This two-step conversion can contribute to cellular damage due to osmotic stress when sorbitol accumulates.

Pathways

Aldose reductase plays a central role in the polyol pathway. This pathway becomes highly relevant when blood glucose levels are elevated. During such conditions aldose reductase activity increases to convert excess glucose to sorbitol. This activity links it to other proteins like sorbitol dehydrogenase which completes the conversion to fructose.

Aldose reductase has strong connections to diabetic complications specifically diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. The enzyme’s increased activity under high glucose conditions can lead to osmotic stress and tissue damage. Interactions with other proteins in the metabolic shift associated with diabetes such as sorbitol dehydrogenase underline its involvement. Aldose reductase inhibitors show potential in mitigating these adverse effects by reducing sorbitol accumulation.

Target data

Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Displays enzymatic activity towards endogenous metabolites such as aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, ketones, monosacharides, bile acids and xenobiotics substrates. Key enzyme in the polyol pathway, catalyzes reduction of glucose to sorbitol during hyperglycemia (PubMed : 1936586). Reduces steroids and their derivatives and prostaglandins. Displays low enzymatic activity toward all-trans-retinal, 9-cis-retinal, and 13-cis-retinal (PubMed : 12732097, PubMed : 19010934, PubMed : 8343525). Catalyzes the reduction of diverse phospholipid aldehydes such as 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn -glycero-3-phosphoethanolamin (POVPC) and related phospholipid aldehydes that are generated from the oxydation of phosphotidylcholine and phosphatdyleethanolamides (PubMed : 17381426). Plays a role in detoxifying dietary and lipid-derived unsaturated carbonyls, such as crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, trans-2-hexenal, trans-2,4-hexadienal and their glutathione-conjugates carbonyls (GS-carbonyls) (PubMed : 21329684).
