Abstract

Pyrophosphate arthropathy is the mineralization defect in humans caused by the deposition of microcrystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate in joint tissues. As a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of pyrophosphate arthropathy, delivery of exogenous pyrophosphate-hydrolyzing enzymes, inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases), to the synovial fluid has been suggested. Previously, we synthesized the conjugates of PPase (Ec-PPase) with detonation synthesis nanodiamonds (NDs) as a delivery platform, obtaining the hybrid biomaterial retaining high pyrophosphate-hydrolyzing activity in vitro. However, most known PPases including Ec-PPase in the soluble form are strongly inhibited by Ca ions. Because synovial fluid contains up to millimolar concentrations of soluble calcium, this inhibition might limit the in vivo application of Ec-PPase-based material in joint tissues. In this work, we proposed other bacterial PPases from (Mt-PPase), which are resistant to the inhibition by Ca ions, as an active PP-hydrolyzing agent. We synthesized conjugates of Mt-PPase with NDs and tested their activity under various conditions. Unexpectedly, conjugates of both Ec-PPase and Mt-PPase with aminated NDs retained significant hydrolytic activity in the presence of well-known mechanism-based PPase inhibitors, fluoride or calcium. The incomplete inhibition of PPases by fluoride or calcium was found for the first time.
