Biogenic amines, metabolites and monoamine oxidase in the filarial worm Setaria cervi

Abstract
Analysis of biogenic monoamines and their metabolites in Setaria cervi adults by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed dopamine as the major monoamine followed by norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). 5-Hydroxy indole acetic acid and tryptophan were also detected in significant amounts. A particulate-bound monoamine oxidase (MAO, EC 1.4.3.4.) catalysing the oxidative deamination of several amines was also demonstrated in both microfilariae and adults. The enzyme from the parasites exhibited unusually high Km values for various monoamines. Dopamine was oxidized at the maximum rate while putrescine was not utilized as the substrate. MAO was predominantly associated with the mitochondrial fraction and concentrated mainly in the cuticle-muscle-hypodermis layer of the filariid. The enzyme was most active around pH 7.5 and 37 +/- 2 degrees C, relatively stable in the frozen state but was thermolabile. The specific MAO inhibitors, clorgyline and deprenyl, inhibited the enzyme with Ki values of 2 x 10(-7) M and 5 x 10(-6) M, respectively. Diethylcarbamazine, suramin, levamisole and centperazine significantly inhibited MAO activity. (The characteristics of the enzyme indicated that it may have a role in host-parasite interactions).
