Soluble receptor of advanced glycation end product as a biomarker in neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders: A meta-analysis of controlled studies. Eur J Clin Invest 2024; 54:e14232. [PMID: 38700073 DOI: 10.1111/eci.14232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Currently, there is a significant focus on the decrease of soluble receptor of advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) in neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. sRAGE plays a decoy role against the inflammatory response of advanced glycation end products (AGE), which has led to increased interest in its role in these disorders. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the significant differences in sRAGE levels between neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders compared to control groups. METHOD A systematic review was conducted using the PUBMED, Scopus and Embase databases up to October 2023. Two reviewers assessed agreement for selecting papers based on titles and abstracts, with kappa used to measure agreement and finally publications were scanned according to controlled studies. Effect sizes were calculated as weighted mean differences (WMD) and pooled using a random effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2, followed by subgroup analysis and meta-regression tests. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. RESULTS In total, 16 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. Subjects with neurocognitive (n = 1444) and neuropsychiatric (n = 444) disorders had lower sRAGE levels in case-control (WMD: -0.21, 95% CI: -0.33, -0.10; p <.001) and cross-sectional (WMD: -0.29, 95% CI = -0.44, -0.13, p <.001) studies with high heterogeneity and no publication bias. In subgroup analysis, subjects with cognitive impairment (WMD: -0.87, 95% CI: -1.61, -0.13, p =.000), and age >50 years (WMD: -0.39, 95% CI: -0.74, -0.05, p =.000), had lower sRAGE levels in case-control studies. Also, dementia patients (WMD: -0.41, 95% CI: -0.72, -0.10, p =.014) with age >50 years (WMD: -0.33, 95% CI: -0.54, -0.13, p = 0.000) and in Asian countries (WMD: -0.28, 95% CI: -0.42, -0.13, p =.141) had lower sRAGE levels in cross-sectional studies. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in sRAGE in neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders particularly in Asians and moderate age.

Exploring the hypoglycemic mechanism of chlorogenic acids from Pyrrosia petiolosa (Christ) Ching on type 2 diabetes mellitus based on network pharmacology and transcriptomics strategy. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 322:117580. [PMID: 38104881 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Pyrrosia petiolosa (Christ) Ching (YBSW) is a Traditional Chinese medicine rich in chlorogenic acids. It is an important component in many Traditional Chinese medicinal hypoglycemic formulas and is commonly used by the Miao people to treat diabetes with good efficacy. Our previous research has suggested that chlorogenic acids may be the active ingredients in YBSW. AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the mechanisms underlying the anti-type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) hypoglycemic effects of chlorogenic acids contained in YBSW. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo experiments, hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to determine the effects of chlorogenic acids contained in YBSW in rats. mRNA expression profiling, microarray analysis, and network pharmacology were used to analyze the underlying mechanisms of the effects. Finally, apoptosis and changes in the related pathways were evaluated in vitro using a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thia-zolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence (IF) assessment, and flow cytometry. RESULTS After the administration of isochlorogenic acid B, the levels of triglycerides, serum total cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose significantly decreased. HE and IHC staining revealed that isochlorogenic acid B significantly increased insulin expression in islet cells. Using network pharmacology and RNA-seq Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis, we screened the advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway. We also verified that YBSW and its chlorogenic acid can inhibit apoptosis and downregulate the expression of related mRNA in the AGE-RAGE pathway in RIN-m5f cells. CONCLUSIONS YBSW exhibits a significant hypoglycemic effect, with chlorogenic acid being an effective component. The therapeutic effect of chlorogenic acids contained in YBSW is mainly realized by promoting insulin secretion and pancreatic tissue repair. Moreover, YBSW substantially mitigates apoptosis via the AGE-RAGE pathway in T2DM.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate whether skin autofluorescence (SAF) is associated with clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) play a crucial role in atherosclerosis. Accumulation of AGE can be measured non-invasively by SAF. METHODS We performed a single-center prospective study of 896 patients with coronary artery disease treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2014 and December 2015. SAF was measured before the PCI procedure. The primary endpoint was patient-oriented composite endpoints (POCE) defined as a composite of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, any stroke, and any revascularization. RESULTS Patients were significantly older and suffered higher rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the high SAF group. A higher SAF was associated with an increased risk for POCE (HR 1.43; 95% CI 1.19-1.71, p<0.001) that was mainly driven by any coronary revascularization (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.08-1.65, p=0.01) including target lesion revascularization (HR 1.41; 95% CI 1.02-1.94, p=0.04). The higher SAF group also experienced worse outcomes in stroke (HR 2.08; 95% CI 1.38-3.15, p=0.001). Multivariate analyses indicated that SAF was an independent predictor of POCE (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.13-1.63, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS SAF as a measure of AGE deposition is independently associated with cardiovascular events amongst patients with coronary artery disease treated with PCI. SAF also predicts the incidence of restenosis and stroke.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic interstitial disease that cannot be cured, and treatment options for IPF are very limited. Early diagnosis, close monitoring of disease progression, and timely treatment are therefore the best options for patients due to the irreversibility of IPF. Effective markers help doctors judge the development and prognosis of disease. Recent research on traditional biomarkers (KL-6, SP-D, MMP-7, TIMPs, CCL18) has provided novel ideas for predicting disease progression and prognosis. Some emerging biomarkers (HE4, GDF15, PRDX4, inflammatory cells, G-CSF) also provide more possibilities for disease prediction. In addition to markers in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), some improvements related to the GAP model and chest HRCT also show good predictive ability for disease prognosis.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), by-products of glucose metabolism, have been linked to the emergence of cardiovascular disorders (CVD). AGEs can cause tissue damage in four different ways: (1) by altering protein function, (2) by crosslinking proteins, which makes tissue stiffer, (3) by causing the generation of free radicals, and (4) by activating an inflammatory response after binding particular AGE receptors, such as the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). It is suggested that the soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) blocks ligand-mediated pro-inflammatory and oxidant activities by serving as a decoy. Therefore, several studies have investigated the possible anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant characteristics of sRAGE, which may help lower the risk of CVD. According to the results of various studies, the relationship between circulating sRAGE, cRAGE, and esRAGE and CVD is inconsistent. To establish the potential function of sRAGE as a therapeutic target in the treatment of cardiovascular illnesses, additional studies are required to better understand the relationship between sRAGE and CVD. In this review, we explored the potential function of sRAGE in different CVD, highlighting unanswered concerns and outlining the possibilities for further investigation.

Abstract
Vascular aging represents a collection of structural and functional changes in a blood vessel with advancing age, including increased stiffness, vascular wall remodeling, loss of angiogenic ability, and endothelium-dependent vasodilation dysfunction. These age-related alterations may occur earlier in those who are at risk for or have cardiovascular diseases, therefore, are defined as early or premature vascular aging. Vascular aging contributes independently to cardio-cerebral vascular diseases (CCVDs). Thus, early diagnosis and interventions targeting vascular aging are of paramount importance in the delay or prevention of CCVDs. Here, we review the direct assessment of vascular aging by examining parameters that reflect changes in structure, function, or their compliance with age including arterial wall thickness and lumen diameter, endothelium-dependent vasodilation, arterial stiffness as well as indirect assessment through pathological studies of biomarkers including endothelial progenitor cell, lymphocytic telomeres, advanced glycation end-products, and C-reactive protein. Further, we evaluate how different types of interventions including lifestyle mediation, such as caloric restriction and salt intake, and treatments for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia affect age-related vascular changes. As a single parameter or intervention targets only a certain vascular physiological change, it is recommended to use multiple parameters to evaluate and design intervention approaches accordingly to prevent systemic vascular aging in clinical practices or population-based studies.

Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing in epidemic proportions and has become one of the most critical public health concerns. Cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The cardiovascular diseases that accompany diabetes include angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and congestive heart failure. Among the various risk factors generated secondary to hyperglycemic situations, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are one of the important targets for future diagnosis and prevention of diabetes. In the last decade, AGEs have drawn a lot of attention due to their involvement in diabetic patho-physiology. AGEs can be derived exogenously and endogenously through various pathways. These are a non-homogeneous, chemically diverse group of compounds formed non-enzymatically by condensation between carbonyl groups of reducing sugars and free amino groups of protein, lipids, and nucleic acid. AGEs mediate their pathological effects at the cellular and extracellular levels by multiple pathways. At the cellular level, they activate signaling cascades via the receptor for AGEs and initiate a complex series of intracellular signaling resulting in reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation, cellular proliferation, and fibrosis that may possibly exacerbate the damaging effects on cardiac functions in diabetics. AGEs also cause covalent modifications and cross-linking of serum and extracellular matrix proteins; altering their structure, stability, and functions. Early diagnosis of diabetes may prevent its progression to complications and decrease its associated comorbidities. In the present review, we recapitulate the role of AGEs as a crucial mediator of hyperglycemia-mediated detrimental effects in diabetes-associated complications. Furthermore, this review presents an overview of future perspectives for new therapeutic interventions to ameliorate cardiovascular complications in diabetes.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous collection of compounds formed during industrial processing and home cooking through a sequence of nonenzymatic glycation reactions. The modern western diet is full of heat-treated foods that contribute to AGE intake. Foods high in AGEs in the contemporary diet include processed cereal products. Due to industrialization and marketing strategies, restaurant meals are modified rather than being traditionally or conventionally cooked. Fried, grilled, baked, and boiled foods have the greatest AGE levels. Higher AGE-content foods include dry nuts, roasted walnuts, sunflower seeds, fried chicken, bacon, and beef. Animal proteins and processed plant foods contain furosine, acrylamide, heterocyclic amines, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Furosine (2-furoil-methyl-lysine) is an amino acid found in cooked meat products and other processed foods. High concentrations of carboxymethyl-lysine, carboxyethyl-lysine, and methylglyoxal-O are found in heat-treated nonvegetarian foods, peanut butter, and cereal items. Increased plasma levels of AGEs, which are harmful chemicals that lead to age-related diseases and physiological aging, diabetes, and autoimmune/inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. AGEs in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases have been linked to individuals with diabetes mellitus who have peripheral nerves with high amounts of AGEs and diabetes has been linked to increased myelin glycation. Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia can impact numerous human tissues and organs, leading to long-term difficulties in a number of systems and organs, including the cardiovascular system. Plasma AGE levels are linked to all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetes who have fatal or nonfatal coronary artery disease, such as ventricular dysfunction. High levels of tissue AGEs are independently associated with cardiac systolic dysfunction in diabetic patients with heart failure compared with diabetic patients without heart failure. It is widely recognized that AGEs and oxidative stress play a key role in the cardiovascular complications of diabetes because they both influence and are impacted by oxidative stress. All chronic illnesses involve protein, lipid, or nucleic acid modifications including crosslinked and nondegradable aggregates known as AGEs. Endogenous AGE formation or dietary AGE uptake can result in additional protein modifications and stimulation of several inflammatory signaling pathways. Many of these systems, however, require additional explanation because they are not entirely obvious. This review summarizes the current evidence regarding dietary sources of AGEs and metabolism-related complications associated with AGEs.

Abstract
Ageing is a composite process that involves numerous changes at the cellular, tissue, organ and whole-body levels. These changes result in decreased functioning of the organism and the development of certain conditions, which ultimately lead to an increased risk of death. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a family of compounds with a diverse chemical nature. They are the products of non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids or nucleic acids and are synthesised in high amounts in both physiological and pathological conditions. Accumulation of these molecules increases the level of damage to tissue/organs structures (immune elements, connective tissue, brain, pancreatic beta cells, nephrons, and muscles), which consequently triggers the development of age-related diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular and kidney disorders. Irrespective of the role of AGEs in the initiation or progression of chronic disorders, a reduction in their levels would certainly provide health benefits. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of AGEs in these areas. Moreover, we provide examples of lifestyle interventions, such as caloric restriction or physical activities, that may modulate AGE formation and accumulation and help to promote healthy ageing.

Abstract
AIM Millions of people are afflicted by depression, a highly prevalent mental illness with increased morbidity and mortality. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are potential risk factors for depression. We aimed to investigate the correlation of AGEs with depressive symptoms and the severity of depressive symptoms. METHODS This study was nested in the prospective REACTION (Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals) study and included 4420 eligible participants. skin autofluorescence (SAF) was used to measure skin AGEs. Depressive symptoms were evaluated by the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of AGEs with depressive symptoms and the severity of depressive symptoms. RESULTS Logistic analysis showed a significantly positive relationship between quartiles of SAF-AGEs and the risk of depressive symptoms with the OR [95% confidence interval (CI), p value] of 1.24 (95% CI: 1.03-1.50, p = 0.022), 1.39 (95% CI: 1.15-1.68, p = 0.001) and 1.57 (95% CI: 1.28-1.91, p < 0.001) for multivariable-adjusted model respectively. And SAF-AGEs were associated with the severity of depressive symptoms with the multivariable-adjusted OR (95% CI, p value) of 1.06 (95% CI:0.79-1.43, p = 0.681), 1.47 (95% CI: 1.08-1.99, p = 0.014), and 1.54 (95% CI: 1.12-2.11, p = 0.008) respectively. Stratified analyses showed that SAF-AGEs were significantly associated with the severity of depressive symptoms only in females, overweight people, individuals with hypertension, and those without diabetes and insomnia. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that a higher SAF-AGEs level was associated with depressive symptoms and the severity of depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is increasingly being characterized as an evolutionary mismatch disorder that presents with a complex mixture of metabolic and endocrine symptoms. The Evolutionary Model proposes that PCOS arises from a collection of inherited polymorphisms that have been consistently demonstrated in a variety of ethnic groups and races. In utero developmental programming of susceptible genomic variants are thought to predispose the offspring to develop PCOS. Postnatal exposure to lifestyle and environmental risk factors results in epigenetic activation of developmentally programmed genes and disturbance of the hallmarks of health. The resulting pathophysiological changes represent the consequences of poor-quality diet, sedentary behaviour, endocrine disrupting chemicals, stress, circadian disruption, and other lifestyle factors. Emerging evidence suggests that lifestyle-induced gastrointestinal dysbiosis plays a central role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Lifestyle and environmental exposures initiate changes that result in disturbance of the gastrointestinal microbiome (dysbiosis), immune dysregulation (chronic inflammation), altered metabolism (insulin resistance), endocrine and reproductive imbalance (hyperandrogenism), and central nervous system dysfunction (neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous system). PCOS can be a progressive metabolic condition that leads to obesity, gestational diabetes, type two diabetes, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This review explores the mechanisms that underpin the evolutionary mismatch between ancient survival pathways and contemporary lifestyle factors involved in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of PCOS.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) play a critical supportive role during musculoskeletal disorders via glycosylation and oxidative stress. Though apocynin, identified as a potent and selective inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, has been reported to be involved in pathogen-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), its role in age-related rotator cuff degeneration has not been well clarified. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the in vitro effects of apocynin on human rotator cuff-derived cells. Twelve patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) participated in the study. Supraspinatus tendons from patients with RCTs were collected and cultured. After the preparation of RC-derived cells, they were divided into four groups (control group, control + apocynin group, AGEs group, AGEs + apocynin group), and gene marker expression, cell viability, and intracellular ROS production were evaluated. The gene expression of NOX, IL-6, and the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) was significantly decreased by apocynin. We also examined the effect of apocynin in vitro. The results showed that ROS induction and increasing apoptotic cells after treatment of AGEs were significantly decreased, and cell viability increased considerably. These results suggest that apocynin can effectively reduce AGE-induced oxidative stress by inhibiting NOX activation. Thus, apocynin is a potential prodrug in preventing degenerative changes of the rotor cuff.

Emerging markers of inflammation and oxidative stress as potential predictors of coronary artery disease. Int J Cardiol 2023; 376:127-133. [PMID: 36758863 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The multi-ligand receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligands AGEs and S100/calgranulin proteins are important mediators of inflammation and oxidative stress whereas the soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) by acting as a decoy and the antioxidant PARK7/DJ-1 exert antiatherogenic effects. We examined whether sRAGE and its ligands AGEs, S100A8/A9, S100B, S100A12 and DJ-1 are associated with the presence of angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) in asymptomatic patients with and without diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Plasma levels of RAGE ligands, sRAGE and DJ-1 were determined in 50 patients with angiographically proven CAD and in 50 age-matched healthy controls. In the whole cohort, lower levels of sRAGE and higher levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), the RAGE ligands S100B, S100A12 and the AGEs/sRAGE ratio were associated with CAD. In patients without diabetes (n = 72), lower levels of sRAGE and DJ-1 and higher levels of IL-6 and AGEs/sRAGE ratio were associated with CAD. In multivariable analysis, AGEs/sRAGE ratio was an independent predictor of CAD both in the whole cohort (p = 0.034, OR = 1.247, [95%CI: 1.024, 1.0519]) and in the subgroup of patients without diabetes (p = 0.021, OR = 1.363, 95%CI [1.048, 1.771]) on top of established cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSION Alterations in plasma RAGE axis inflammatory mediators are associated with atherosclerosis, and higher levels of AGEs/sRAGE ratio are independently associated with CAD in asymptomatic patients and may act as a novel biomarker for predicting CAD. DJ-1 emerges as promising marker of oxidative stress in CAD patients without diabetes, a finding that deserves further study.

Abstract
Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures increase with age up to 50 to 60 years of age. After 60 years of age systolic pressure rises to 84 years of age but diastolic pressure remains stable or even decreases. In the oldest age group (85-99 years), the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is high and diastolic pressure (DBP) is the lowest. Seventy percent of people older than 65 years are hypertensive. This paper deals with the role of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and its cell receptor (RAGE) and soluble receptor (sRAGE) in the development of hypertension in the elderly population. Plasma/serum levels of AGE are higher in older people as compared with younger people. Serum levels of AGE are positively correlated with age, arterial stiffness, and hypertension. Low serum levels of sRAGE are associated with arterial stiffness and hypertension. Levels of sRAGE are negatively correlated with age and blood pressure. Levels of sRAGE are lower in patients with arterial stiffness and hypertension than patients with high levels of sRAGE. AGE could induce hypertension through numerous mechanisms including, cross-linking with collagen, reduction of nitric oxide, increased expression of endothelin-1, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Interaction of AGE with RAGE could produce hypertension through the generation of reactive oxygen species, increased sympathetic activity, activation of nuclear factor-kB, and increased expression of cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and TGF- β. In conclusion, the AGE-RAGE axis could be involved in hypertension in elderly people. Treatment for hypertension in elderly people should be targeted at reduction of AGE levels in the body, prevention of AGE formation, degradation of AGE in vivo, downregulation of RAGE expression, blockade of AGE-RAGE interaction, upregulation of sRAGE expression, and use of antioxidants.

Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevailing endocrine and metabolic disorder occurring in about 6-20% of females in reproductive age. Most symptoms of PCOS arise early during puberty. Since PCOS involves a combination of signs and symptoms, thus it is considered as a heterogeneous disorderliness. The most accepted diagnostic criteria is Rotterdam criteria which involves two of the latter three features: (a) hyperandrogenism, (b) oligo- or an-ovulation, and (c) polycystic ovaries. The persistent hormonal imbalance leads to multiple small antral follicles formation and irregular menstrual cycle, ultimately causing infertility among females. Insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, abdominal obesity, psychological disorders, infertility, and cancer are also related to PCOS. These pathophysiologies associated with PCOS are interrelated with each other. Hyperandrogenism causes insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, leading to ROS formation, oxidative stress, and abdominal adiposity. In consequence, inflammation, ROS production, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenemia also increase. Elevation of AGEs in the body either produced endogenously or consumed from diet exaggerates PCOS symptoms and is also related to ovarian dysfunction. This review summarizes how AGE formation, inflammation, and oxidative stress are significantly essential in PCOS progression. Alterations during prenatal development like exposure to excess AMH, androgens, or toxins (bisphenol-A, endocrine disruptors, etc.) may also be the etiologic mechanism behind PCOS. Although the etiology of this disorder is unclear, environmental and genetic factors are primarily involved. Physical inactivity, as well as unhealthy eating habits, has a vital role in the progression of PCOS. This review outlines a collection of specific genes phenotypically linked with PCOS. Furthermore, beneficial effect of metformin in maintaining endocrine abnormalities and ovarian function is also mentioned. Kisspeptin is a protein which helps in onset of puberty and increases GnRH pulsatile release during ovulation as well as role of KNDy neurons in GnRH pulsatile signal required for reproduction are also elaborated. This review also focuses on the immunology related to PCOS involving chronic low-grade inflammation, and how the alterations within the follicular microenvironment are intricated in the development of infertility in PCOS patients. How PCOS develops following antiepileptic and psychiatric medication is also expanded in this review. Initiation of antiandrogen treatment in early age (≤ 25 years) might be helpful in spontaneous conception in PCOS women. The role of BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) in folliculogenesis and their expression in oocytes and granulosa cells are also explained. GDF8 and SERPINE1 expression in PCOS is given in detail.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:984835. [PMID: 36189354 PMCID: PMC9519888 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.984835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is a significant cause of mortality in critically ill patients. Acute lung injury (ALI) is a leading cause of death in these patients. Endothelial cells exposed to the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can progress into pyroptosis, a programmed lysis of cell death triggered by inflammatory caspases. It is characterized by lytic cell death induced by the binding of intracellular LPS to caspases 4/5 in human cells and caspase-11 in mouse cells. In mice,caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis plays an important role in endotoxemia. HMGB1 released into the plasma binds to LPS and is internalized into lysosomes in endothelial cells via the advanced glycation end product receptor. In the acidic lysosomal environment, HMGB1 permeates the phospholipid bilayer, which is followed by the leakage of LPS into the cytoplasm and the activation of caspase-11. Heparin is an anticoagulant widely applied in the treatment of thrombotic disease. Previous studies have found that heparin could block caspase-11-dependent inflammatory reactions, decrease sepsis-related mortality, and reduce ALI, independent of its anticoagulant activity. Heparin or modified heparin with no anticoagulant property could inhibit the alarmin HMGB1-LPS interactions, minimize LPS entry into the cytoplasm, and thus blocking caspase-11 activation. Heparin has been studied in septic ALI, but the regulatory mechanism of pulmonary endothelial cell pyroptosis is still unclear. In this paper, we discuss the potential novel role of heparin in the treatment of septic ALI from the unique mechanism of pulmonary endothelial cell pyroptosis.

Abstract
In the last decade, data has suggested that dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in both reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). AGEs are highly reactive molecules that are formed by the non-enzymatic glycation process between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. They can be formed endogenously under normal metabolic conditions or under abnormal situations such as diabetes, renal disease, and other inflammatory disorders. Bodily AGEs can also accumulate from exogenous dietary sources particularly when ingested food is cooked and processed under high-temperature conditions, such as frying, baking, or grilling. Women with PCOS have elevated levels of serum AGEs that are associated with insulin resistance and obesity and that leads to a high deposition of AGEs in the ovarian tissue causing anovulation and hyperandrogenism. This review will describe new data relevant to the role of AGEs in several key elements of PCOS phenotype and pathophysiology. Those elements include ovarian dysfunction, hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, and obesity. The literature findings to date suggest that targeting AGEs and their cellular actions could represent a novel approach to treating PCOS symptoms.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has an important antioxidant activity due to the presence of the reduced cysteine at position 34, which represents the most abundant free thiol in the plasma. In oxidative-based diseases, HSA undergoes S-thiolation (THIO-HSA) with changes in the antioxidant function of albumin that could contribute to the progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to verify, for the first time, the different burdens of THIO-HSA, glycated HSA (GLY-HSA), and advanced glycation end products (AGE) accumulation both in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and in non-diabetic patients, with or without coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, we assessed the presence of modified forms of HSA, THIO-HSA, and GLY-HSA by means of mass spectrometry in 33 patients with both T2DM and CHD, in 31 patients with T2DM and without CHD, in 30 patients without diabetes with a history of CHD, and 27 subjects without diabetes and CHD. All the patients’ anthropometric and clinical data were recorded including age, sex, duration of diabetes, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and history of CHD defined with anamnestic data. Metabolic parameters, such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipids, pentosidine, AGE, receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and its soluble form (sRAGE), were measured. AGE and pentosidine are significantly higher in T2DM patients with and without CHD with respect to non-diabetic patients with CHD and control subjects. RAGE levels are significantly higher in T2DM patients with respect to non-diabetic patients, and among T2DM patients, the group with CHD showed significantly higher RAGE levels than those without CHD (217 ± 171 pg/mL and 140 ± 61 pg/mL, respectively). Albumin isoforms discriminate between non-diabetic patients with CHD and T2DM patients with and without CHD and control subjects, with GLY-HSA levels higher in T2DM with and without CHD, and THIO-HSA higher in CHD patients without T2DM. Finally, we demonstrated that the oxidized forms of HSA can increase the expression of the inflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFα) in monocytic cells. In patients with CHD, GLY-HSA and THIO-HSA have a different prevalent distribution, the first one prevailing in patients with T2DM and the second one in patients without T2DM. These findings suggest that albumin quality and homeostasis balance between glyco-oxidation and thiolation might have an impact on the antioxidant defense system in cardiovascular diseases.

[PMID: 35781678 PMCID: PMC9474610 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.21971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a 45 kDa transmembrane receptor of immunoglobulin family that can bind to various endogenous and exogenous ligands and initiate the inflammatory downstream signaling pathways. RAGE is involved in various disorders including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and diabetes. This review summarizes the structural features of RAGE and its various isoforms along with their pathological effects. Mainly, the article emphasized on the translational significance of antagonizing the interactions of RAGE with its ligands using small molecules reported in the last 5 years and discusses future approaches that could be employed to block the interactions in the treatment of chronic inflammatory ailments. The RAGE inhibitors described in this article could prove as a powerful approach in the management of immune‐inflammatory diseases. A critical review of the literature suggests that there is a dire need to dive deeper into the molecular mechanism of action to resolve critical issues that must be addressed to understand RAGE‐targeting therapy and long‐term blockade of RAGE in human diseases.

Association of the RAGE/RAGE-ligand axis with interstitial lung disease and its acute exacerbation. Respir Investig 2022; 60:531-542. [PMID: 35504814 DOI: 10.1016/j.resinv.2022.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) is a transmembrane receptor highly expressed in type 1 pneumocytes of healthy lungs. RAGE is considered to play a homeostatic role in the lung, as RAGE knockout mice develop lung fibrosis as they age. In contrast, RAGE can bind numerous ligands, including high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). These interactions initiate pro-inflammatory signaling associated with the pathogenesis of lung injury and interstitial lung disease (ILD), including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). ILD is a broad category of diffuse parenchymal lung disease characterized by various extents of lung fibrosis and inflammation, and IPF is a common and progressive ILD of unknown cause. The prognosis of patients with IPF is poor, and acute exacerbation of IPF (AE-IPF) is one of the main causes of death. Recent reports indicate that acute exacerbations can occur in other ILDs (AE-ILD). Notably, ILD is frequently observed in patients with lung cancer, and AE-ILD after surgical procedures or the initiation of chemotherapy for concomitant lung cancer are clinically important due to their association with increased mortality. In this review, we summarize the associations of RAGE/soluble RAGE (sRAGE)/RAGE ligands with the pathogenesis and clinical course of ILD, including IPF and AE-IPF. Additionally, the potential use of sRAGE and RAGE ligands as predictive markers of AE-IPF and cancer treatment-triggered AE-ILD is also discussed.

In Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Advanced Glycation End-Products Receptors Isoforms (sRAGE and esRAGE) Are Associated with Malnutrition. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071253. [PMID: 35883745 PMCID: PMC9312066 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11071253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the inflammatory and pro-oxidant milieu may contribute to malnutrition development. In this study, we investigated the relationship between inflammation, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and their receptors (RAGEs) with malnutrition in CKD patients. Methods: we evaluated 117 patients. AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, soluble RAGEs isoforms, and inflammatory interleukins by ELISA. Malnutrition was assessed by a malnutrition inflammation score. Results: mean age was 80 ± +11 years, eGFR was 25 ± +11 mL/min/1.73 m2 and BMI was 28 ± 5 Kg/m2. Malnourished individuals were older, had lower estimated protein intake (nPCR 0.65 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.3, p = 0.01), higher C reactive protein (CRP 0.6 ± 1 vs. 0.6 ± 0.7 vs. 0.17 ± 0.13, p = 0.02) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α 14.7 ± 8.7 vs. 15.6 ± 8 vs. 11.8 ± 5.8, p = 0.029). Malnourished patients had higher sRAGE (2813 ± 1477 vs. 2158 ± 1236 vs. 2314 ± 1115, p = 0.035) and esRAGE (648 [408–1049] vs. 476 [355–680] vs. 545 [380–730] p = 0.033). In the multivariate analysis, only sRAGE maintained its association with malnutrition (p = 0.02) independently of aging and inflammation. Conclusions: in CKD patients, RAGEs isoforms, but not AGEs, are associated with malnutrition, irrespective of systemic inflammation, aging, and renal function.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity is an important cause of acute liver failure, resulting in massive deaths in many developed countries. Currently, the metabolic process of APAP in the body has been well studied. However, the underlying mechanism of APAP-induced liver injury remains elusive. Increasing clinical and experimental evidences indicate that the innate immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of APAP-induced acute liver injury (AILI), in which immune cells have dual roles of inducing inflammation to exacerbate hepatotoxicity and removing dead cells and debris to help liver regeneration. In this review, we summarize the latest findings of innate immune cells involved in AILI, particularly emphasizing the activation of innate immune cells and their different roles during the injury and repair phases. Moreover, current available treatments are discussed according to the different roles of innate immune cells in the development of AILI. This review aims to update the knowledge about innate immune responses in the pathogenesis of AILI, and provide potential therapeutic interventions for AILI.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the most common type of cardiovascular disease, and it causes intima thickening, plaque development, and ultimate blockage of the artery lumen. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are thought to have a role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. there is developing an enthusiasm for AGEs as a potential remedial target. AGES mainly induce arterial damage and exacerbate the development of atherosclerotic plaques by triggering cell receptor-dependent signalling. The interplay of AGEs with RAGE, a transmembrane signalling receptor present across all cells important to atherosclerosis, changes cell activity, boosts expression of genes, and increases the outflow of inflammatory compounds, resulting in arterial wall injury and plaque formation. Here in this review, function of AGEs in the genesis, progression, and instability of atherosclerosis is discussed. In endothelial and smooth muscle cells, as well as platelets, the interaction of AGEs with their transmembrane cell receptor, RAGE, triggers intracellular signalling, resulting in endothelial damage, vascular smooth muscle cell function modification, and changed platelet activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Alterations of glucose homeostasis can increase advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that exacerbate vascular inflammatory disease and may increase vascular senescence and aging. This study examined the relationships between carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and soluble receptor for AGEs (sRAGE) with leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn), as cell aging biomarkers, in patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 459 patients with CAD further categorized as having normal glucose homeostasis (NG, n = 253), pre-diabetes (preT2D, n = 85), or diabetes (T2D, n = 121). All patients were followed up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Plasma concentrations of sRAGE and CML were measured by ELISA. mtDNAcn and LTL were measured by qRT-PCR. CML levels were significantly higher in patients with preT2D (p < 0.007) or T2D (p < 0.003) compared with those with NG. mtDNAcn resulted lower in T2D vs preT2D (p = 0.04). At multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, short LTL (HR: 2.89; 95% CI: 1.11-10.1; p = 0.04) and high levels of sRAGE (HR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.01-5.14; p = 0.04) were associated with an increased risk for MACEs in patients with preT2D and T2D, respectively. T2D patients with both short LTL and high sRAGE levels had the highest risk of MACEs (HR: 3.11; 95% CI: 1.11-9.92; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS High levels of sRAGE and short LTL were associated with an increased risk of MACEs, especially in patients with diabetes, supporting the usefulness of both biomarkers of glycemic impairment and aging in predicting cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CAD.

Abstract
Calprotectin (CLP) belonging to the S-100 protein family is a heterodimeric complex (S100A8/S100A9) formed by two binding proteins. Upon cell activation, CLP stored in neutrophils is released extracellularly in response to inflammatory stimuli and acts as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). S100A8 and S100A9 possess both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. The complex is a ligand of the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and receptor for advanced glycation end (RAGE). At sites of infection and inflammation, CLP is a target for oxidation due to its co-localization with neutrophil-derived oxidants. In the heart, oxidative stress (OS) responses and S100 proteins are closely related and intimately linked through pathophysiological processes. Our review summarizes the roles of S100A8, S100A9 and CLP in the inflammation in relationship with vascular OS, and we examine the importance of CLP for the mechanisms driving in the protection of myocardium. Recent evidence interpreting CLP as a critical modulator during the inflammatory response has identified this alarmin as an interesting drug target.

Abstract
In diabetes, interactions between AGEs (advanced glycation end products) and RAGEs (receptors of AGEs) are responsible for chronic complications and the current work reports the potential of ursolic acid as a RAGE inhibitor. The three-dimensional crystal structure of RAGE was first docked with target molecules by 'AutodockVina' using GROMOS 96 4381 parameters. Druggability and pharmacokinetic properties were calculated from the SwissADME server. In vitro bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glucose fluorescence and BSA-methylglyoxal fluorescence assays were also performed. Finally, alloxan-induced diabetic mice were administered ursolic acid and metformin standards (at 1, 50, 100 mg/kg) for 50 days. Blood glucose levels, several blood parameters, blood lipid profiles, supernatants of homogenized kidney and plasma of mice were examined. In the computational study, ursolic acid showed greater binding affinity (-7.5 kcal/mol) for RAGE with an ADMET profiles and lead-likeness compared to metformin as a standard antidiabetic. In the in vitro fluorescence assays, the IC50 value for ursolic acid was much less than that of metformin standard. During the in vivo study, significant reduction in the levels of blood glucose, HbA1C (glycated hemoglobin), creatinine, uric acid, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase) were observed in the ursolic acid and metformin-treated mice. Substantial inhibition of AGEs' formation in the plasma and kidney were also detected. Finally, the histopathological examinations of the kidney revealed reversal of cellular necrosis. Hence, ursolic acid is proved to be a potent AGE inhibitory agent in managing the diabetic complications.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a heterogenous group of products formed by the reaction between protein and reducing sugars, can form endogenously due to non-enzymatic reactions or by exogenous sources such as diet where considerable increase in AGEs is observed due to the modification of food mainly by thermal processing. Recent studies have suggested that AGEs could impact, via inducing inflammation and oxidative stress, the reproductive health and fertility in both males and females. This review presents a summary of recently published data pertaining to the pathogenesis of dietary AGEs and their receptors as well as their potential impact on female reproductive health. More specifically, it will present data pertaining to dietary AGEs’ involvement in the mechanistic pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian dysfunction, as well as the AGEs’ effect perinatally on the female offspring reproduction. Understanding the mechanistic impact of dietary AGEs on female reproduction can help contribute to the development of targeted pharmacological therapies that will help curb rising female infertility.

Possible role of the HMGB1 and RAGE inflammatory pathway in primary sclerosing cholangitis. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2022; 46:101791. [PMID: 34400366 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2021.101791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligand High Mobility Group Box Protein 1 (HMGB1), a nuclear protein with proinflammatory properties, has been implicated in several inflammatory disorders. OBJECTIVE To analyse the influence of RAGE and HMGB1 signalling in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). METHODS Levels of HMGB1 and bile acid in serum and bile samples of 69 PSC patients and 32 controls were measured. Additionally, 640 patients with PSC and other liver diseases were analysed for the gain-of-function RAGE G82S SNP by PCR. Laboratory and clinical parameters were retrieved by chart review. RESULTS ELISA analysis showed significantly higher biliary HMGB1 concentrations in PSC patients (n=69, median 124,1 ng/ml) than in the control group (n=32, median 6,85 ng/ml, p<0,001). Median serum HMGB1 (n=22, median 2,4 ng/ml) was significantly lower than median biliary HMGB1 of the concomitant bile samples (n=22, median 151 ng/ml, p =0,001). There was no correlation of biliary HMGB1 levels with laboratory parameters or clinical end points. Analysis of the gain-of-function G82SSNP RAGE SNP in PSC patients showed 8 patients with heterozygote mutant alleles (8/324, 2,5%). Patients carrying the mutation developed more often dominant strictures of the large bile ducts (100.0% vs. 61.3%; p=0.04) and had reduced transplantation-free survival in the mutant allele group (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Biliary HMGB1 levels are elevated in PSC patients compared to controls and a gain-of-function SNP in RAGE is associated with development of dominant strictures and reduced survival in PSC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine, following perinatal exposure to a diet high in advanced glycation end products (AGEs), whether the use of standard AGE-free mouse chow during the postweaning period alters metabolism and reproduction differently than exposure to a diet low in AGEs. DESIGN Experimental animal study. SETTING University-based research laboratory. ANIMAL(S) Female CD1 mice. INTERVENTION(S) Seven-week-old mice were placed on a diet either low or high in AGEs perinatally, before mating and then during pregnancy and lactation. All offspring were weaned onto an AGE-free normal chow. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Growth curve, liver and abdominal fat weight, insulin and glucose tolerance tests, vaginal opening, estrous cyclicity, and serum levels of antimüllerian hormone, leptin, and adiponectin were assessed. Ovarian histologic examination for follicular count and gene expression was also performed. RESULT(S) Compared with the mice exposed to a diet low in AGEs, the mice exposed to a diet high in AGEs showed lower body weight in pups, lower liver weight, delayed vaginal opening, higher serum antimüllerian hormone levels, lower primordial and secondary follicle pools, and higher ovarian Fshr messenger RNA levels. CONCLUSION(S) Following weaning, perinatal AGEs can target puberty onset and folliculogenesis differently to standard mouse chow.

Life Sci 2022; 292:120331. [PMID: 35041837 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.120331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Glucagon-like peptide-1 alleviates the deleterious effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the protective mechanism using liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). MAIN METHODS Following liraglutide treatment in HAECs, the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) was measured in both cell lysate and culture supernatant, the cytosolic free Ca2+ level was monitored using Fluo-4 AM, the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was analyzed, and immunofluorescence staining was used to visualize a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) on the cell surface. KEY FINDINGS Liraglutide (100 nM) induced ectodomain shedding of RAGE within 30 min and inhibited the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) induced by AGEs of bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA). Further experiments revealed that liraglutide rapidly increased extracellular Ca2+ influx through L-type calcium channels and activated AMPK, resulting in translocation of ADAM10 to the cell surface, whereas siRNA-mediated ADAM10 depletion prevented liraglutide-induced ectodomain shedding of RAGE and eliminated liraglutide's inhibitory effect on AGE-BSA-induced ICAM-1 expression. Moreover, compound C-mediated AMPK inhibition and siRNA-mediated AMPK depletion both prevented ADAM10 translocation to the cell surface and ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding of RAGE. SIGNIFICANCE Liraglutide reduces the number of intact RAGE on the cell surface by inducing ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding, which decreases the inflammatory effects of AGEs. AMPK activated by extracellular Ca2+ influx is critically involved in the translocation of ADAM10 to the cell surface, where it cleaves RAGE.

Hemodialysis Patients with Higher Serum Levels of Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products Have an Increased Risk for Arteriovenous Fistula Failure. Blood Purif 2021; 51:764-771.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure due to thrombosis is a major cause of morbidity in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD). Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE) might contribute to inflammation, neointimal hyperplasia, and thrombosis. RAGE has a C-truncated secretory receptor form, called soluble RAGE (sRAGE). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of serum sRAGE with AVF failure due to thrombosis in HD patients. METHODS Eighty-eight prevalent HD patients with functional AVF were included in the study. The presence of stenosis, clinical and laboratory data, and serum sRAGE was evaluated at inclusion. sRAGE concentration was measured by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and stenosis was detected by ultrasound. Patients were prospectively followed up for 36 months. During this period, AVF failure (defined as the absence of blast or palpable thrill and impossible cannulation with 2 needles because of complete thrombosis) was noted and thrombosis was certified by ultrasound examination. RESULTS During follow-up, 16 (18.18%) patients lost their vascular access due to thrombosis. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, sRAGE was a significant predictor of vascular access thrombosis (hazard ratio = 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.25, p = 0.012). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly lower AVF patency time in patients with sRAGE >16.78 ng/mL than those with sRAGE <16.78 ng/mL (p = 0.02). In the subgroup of patients with stenosis at baseline, sRAGE, serum albumin, obesity, and ischemic heart disease were associated with thrombosis. CONCLUSION In our study, baseline, systemic sRAGE is associated with the occurrence of thrombosis of AVF, and this marker has a significant impact on AVF survival.

Abstract
Recent and accumulating work in experimental animal models and humans shows that diet has a much more pervasive and prominent role than previously thought in modulating neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative mechanisms leading to some of the most common chronic central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Chronic or intermittent food restriction has profound effects in shaping brain and peripheral metabolism, immunity, and gut microbiome biology. Interactions among calorie intake, meal frequency, diet quality, and the gut microbiome modulate specific metabolic and molecular pathways that regulate cellular, tissue, and organ homeostasis as well as inflammation during normal brain aging and CNS neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis, among others. This review discusses these findings and their potential application to the prevention and treatment of CNS neuroinflammatory diseases and the promotion of healthy brain aging.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced lung injury is a fatal complication in patients with lung cancer and interstitial lung disease (ILD). We aimed to evaluate the association between hyperglycemia and this form of lung injury in patients with lung cancer concomitant with ILD. METHODS From 1147 patients with advanced lung cancer, we retrospectively enrolled 98 patients with ILD whose hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were measured, and investigated the association between HbA1c levels and cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced lung injury. In 73 patients whose serum samples were retained, we measured serum levels of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and assessed the association of AGE levels with HbA1c levels and cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced lung injury. RESULTS The incidence of cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced lung injury was significantly higher in patients with HbA1c levels ≥ 5.8% than in those with HbA1c levels < 5.8%, but not in those with HbA1c levels ≥ 6.5% than in those with HbA1c levels < 6.5%. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that HbA1c level ≥ 5.8% was a significant risk factor for this complication [odds ratio 3.178 (95% confidence interval 1.057-9.556), P = 0.040]. In addition, serum AGE levels were significantly higher in patients with HbA1c levels ≥ 5.8% than in those with HbA1c levels < 5.8% [median (interquartile range); 0.129 (0.023-0.290) and 0.474 (0.213-1.109) μg/mL, P = 0.001]. CONCLUSION Glucose intolerance (e.g., HbA1c level ≥ 5.8%) may be a risk factor of cytotoxic chemotherapy-induced lung injury, which might be associated with elevated AGE production due to hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the primary cause of chronic kidney disease that inevitably progress to end-stage kidney disease. Intervention strategies such as blood glucose control is effective for preventing DKD, but many patients with DKD still reach end-stage kidney disease. Although comprehensive mechanisms shed light on the progression of DKD, the most compelling evidence has highlighted that hyperglycemia-related advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of DKD. Pathologically, accumulation of AGEs-mediated receptor for AGEs (RAGE) triggers oxidative stress and inflammation, which is the major deleterious effect of AGEs in host and intestinal microenvironment of diabetic and ageing conditions. The activation of AGEs-mediated RAGE could evoke nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-induced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species production and subsequently give rise to oxidative stress in DKD and ageing kidney. Therefore, targeting RAGE with its ligands mediated oxidative stress and chronic inflammation is considered as an additional intervention strategy for DKD and ageing kidney. In this review, we summarize AGEs/RAGE-mediated oxidative stress and inflammation signaling pathways in DKD and ageing kidney, discussing opportunities and challenges of targeting at AGEs/RAGE-induced oxidative stress that could hold the promising potential approach for improving DKD and ageing kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of the study was to determine serum concentrations of AGEs and their soluble receptor (sRAGE) in MS patients and healthy controls and to investigate their possible influence on disease activity. METHODS Serum concentrations of AGE and sRAGE in patients with MS and healthy controls were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The mean serum AGE concentration in patients with MS was higher than in healthy controls, whereas the mean serum sRAGE concentration was lower than in the control group. However, the differences were not statistically significant. In MS patients, serum AGE and sRAGE concentrations did not differ significantly, depending on the duration of the disease and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score. CONCLUSIONS Multiple sclerosis may be accompanied by disturbances of the AGE-sRAGE axis. However, further studies are warranted to confirm it. The duration of the disease and the degree of disability do not seem to affect the progression of the glycation process, particularly in the stable phase of the disease.

Abstract
The cellular utilization of oxygen leads to the generation of free radicals in organisms. The accumulation of these free radicals contributes significantly to aging and several age-related diseases. Angiotensin II can contribute to DNA damage through oxidative stress by activating the NAD(P)H oxidase pathway, which in turn results in the production of reactive oxygen species. This radical oxygen-containing molecule has been linked to aging and several age-related disorders, including renal damage. Considering the role of angiotensin in aging, melatonin might relieve angiotensin-II-induced stress by enhancing the mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 pathway, which is crucial in preventing the mitochondrial calcium overload that may trigger increased production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. This review highlights the role and importance of melatonin together with angiotensin in aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. RAGE binds and mediates cellular responses to a range of DAMPs (damage-associated molecular pattern molecules), such as AGEs, HMGB1, and S100/calgranulins, and as an innate immune sensor, can recognize microbial PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules), including bacterial LPS, bacterial DNA, and viral and parasitic proteins. RAGE and its ligands stimulate the activations of diverse pathways, such as p38MAPK, ERK1/2, Cdc42/Rac, and JNK, and trigger cascades of diverse signaling events that are involved in a wide spectrum of diseases, including diabetes mellitus, inflammatory, vascular and neurodegenerative diseases, atherothrombosis, and cancer. Thus, the targeted inhibition of RAGE or its ligands is considered an important strategy for the treatment of cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Serum biomarkers, skin autofluorescence and other methods. Which parameter better illustrates the relationship between advanced glycation end products and arterial stiffness in the general population? Hypertens Res 2021; 44:518-527.

Abstract
Stiffening of large arteries, clinically manifesting as increased aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an inevitable outcome of aging. Among other mechanisms, impaired glucose metabolism plays an important role, leading to the deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This process is counterbalanced by the circulating soluble receptor for AGEs (sRAGE). We investigated the association between arterial stiffness on one side and multiple circulating biomarkers and the degree of skin deposition of AGEs on the other. In a cross-sectional design, 867 participants based on a general population sample (Czech post-MONICA studies) were examined. PWV was measured by SphygmoCor device (AtCor Medical Ltd.), while skin AGEs were measured using a dedicated autofluorescence method (AGE Reader mu®). To quantify the circulating status of AGEs, carboxymethyl lysine (CML) and sRAGE concentrations were assessed by ELISA, along with conventional glucose metabolism indicators. When analyzing the whole sample using multiple linear or logistic regression models and after adjustment for potential covariates, a significant association with PWV was found for fasting glycemia, HbA1c, sRAGE, skin AGEs, and the skin AGE-to-sRAGE ratio. Among these parameters, stepwise models identified the strongest association for the skin AGEs and AGE-to-sRAGE ratio, and this was also true when diabetic subjects were excluded. In contrast, neither CML nor its ratio relative to sRAGE showed any association with arterial stiffness. In conclusion, skin AGEs along with their ratio relative to sRAGE were closely associated with arterial stiffness and is a better indicator of the current status of deposited AGEs than other relevant factors.

Abstract
Asthma is a generalized term that describes a scope of distinct pathologic phenotypes of variable severity, which share a common complication of reversible airflow obstruction. Asthma is estimated to affect almost 400 million people worldwide, and nearly ten percent of asthmatics have what is considered "severe" disease. The majority of moderate to severe asthmatics present with a "type 2-high" (T2-hi) phenotypic signature, which pathologically is driven by the type 2 cytokines Interleukin-(IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13. However, "type 2-low" (T2-lo) phenotypic signatures are often associated with more severe, steroid-refractory neutrophilic asthma. A wide range of clinical and experimental studies have found that the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic airway disease (AAD). Current experimental data indicates that RAGE is a critical mediator of the type 2 inflammatory reactions which drive the development of T2-hi AAD. However, clinical studies demonstrate that increased RAGE ligands and signaling strongly correlate with asthma severity, especially in severe neutrophilic asthma. This review presents an overview of the current understandings of RAGE in asthma pathogenesis, its role as a biomarker of disease, and future implications for mechanistic studies, and potential therapeutic intervention strategies.

S100B/RAGE/Ceramide signaling pathway is involved in sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Life Sci 2021; 277:119490. [PMID: 33862114 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is one of the most common complications of sepsis, and it might lead to long-term cognitive dysfunction and disability. This study aimed to explore the role of S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B)/RAGE/ceramide signaling pathway in SAE. MAIN METHODS FPS-ZM1 (an inhibitor of RAGE), myriocin and GW4869 (an inhibitor of ceramide) were used to explore the role of S100B/RAGE/ceramide in acute brain injury and long-term cognitive impairment in sepsis. In addition, Mdivi-1 (inhibitor of Drp1) and Drp1 siRNA were utilized to assess the effects of C2-ceramide on neuronal mitochondria, and to explore the specific underlying mechanism in C2 ceramide-induced death of HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells. KEY FINDINGS Western blot analysis showed that sepsis significantly up-regulated S100B and RAGE. Nissl staining and Morris water maze (MWM) test revealed that inhibition of RAGE with FPS-ZM1 markedly attenuated cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced brain damage and cognitive dysfunction. Furthermore, FPS-ZM1 relieved sepsis-induced C2-ceramide accumulation and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics. Moreover, inhibition of ceramide also showed similar protective effects both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, Mdivi-1 and Drp1 siRNA significantly reduced C2-ceramide-induced neuronal mitochondrial fragmentation and cell apoptosis in vitro. SIGNIFICANCE This study confirmed that S100B regulates mitochondrial dynamics through RAGE/ceramide pathway, in addition to the role of this pathway in acute brain injury and long-term cognitive impairment during sepsis.

Molecularly targeted nanoparticles: an emerging tool for evaluation of expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products in a murine model of peripheral artery disease. Cell Mol Biol Lett 2021; 26:10. [PMID: 33726678 PMCID: PMC7968326 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-021-00253-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Molecular imaging with molecularly targeted probes is a powerful tool for studying the spatio-temporal interactions between complex biological processes. The pivotal role of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and its involvement in numerous pathological processes, aroused the demand for RAGE-targeted imaging in various diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the use of a diagnostic imaging agent for RAGE quantification in an animal model of peripheral artery disease, a multimodal dual-labeled probe targeted at RAGE (MMIA-CML). Methods PAMAM dendrimer was conjugated with Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) modified albumin to synthesize the RAGE-targeted probe. A control untargeted agent carried native non-modified human albumin (HSA). Bifunctional p-SCN-Bn-NOTA was used to conjugate the 64Cu radioisotope. Surgical right femoral artery ligation was performed on C57BL/6 male mice. One week after femoral artery ligation, mice were injected with MMIA-CML or MMIA-HSA labeled with 64Cu radioisotope and 60 min later in vivo microPET-CT imaging was performed. Immediately after PET imaging studies, the murine hindlimb muscle tissues were excised and prepared for gene and protein expression analysis. RAGE gene and protein expression was assessed using real-time qPCR and Western blot technique respectively. To visualize RAGE expression in excised tissues, microscopic fluorescence imaging was performed using RAGE-specific antibodies and RAGE-targeted and -control MMIA. Results Animals subjected to PET imaging exhibited greater MMIA-CML uptake in ischemic hindlimbs than non-ischemic hindlimbs. We observed a high correlation between fluorescent signal detection and radioactivity measurement. Significant RAGE gene and protein overexpression were observed in ischemic hindlimbs compared to non-ischemic hindlimbs at one week after surgical ligation. Fluorescence microscopic staining revealed significantly increased uptake of RAGE-targeted nanoparticles in both ischemic and non-ischemic muscle tissues compared to the control probe but at a higher level in ischemic hindlimbs. Ischemic tissue exhibited explicit RAGE dyeing following anti-RAGE antibody and high colocalization with the MMIA-CML targeted at RAGE. Conclusions The present results indicate increased expression of RAGE in the ischemic hindlimb and enable the use of multimodal nanoparticles in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models, creating the possibility for imaging structural and functional changes with a RAGE-targeted tracer.

Abstract
Objective To study the role of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in endothelial barrier dysfunction induced by heat stress, to further explore the signal pathway by which RAGE contributes to heat-induced endothelia response, and thereby find a novel target for the clinical treatment of ALI (acute lung injury) induced by heatstroke. Methods This study established the animal model of heatstroke using RAGE knockout mice. We observed the role of RAGE in acute lung injury induced by heatstroke in mice by evaluating the leukocytes, neutrophils, and protein concentration in BALF (Bronchoalveolar lavage fluids), lung wet/dry ratio, histopathological changes, and the morphological ultrastructure of lung tissue and arterial blood gas analysis. To further study the mechanism, we established a heat stress model of HUVEC and concentrated on the role of RAGE and its signal pathway in the endothelial barrier dysfunction induced by heat stress, measuring Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and western blot. Results RAGE played a key role in acute lung injury induced by heatstroke in mice. The mechanism C-Jun is located in the promoter region of the RAGE gene. C-Jun increased the RAGE protein expression while HSF1 suppressed RAGE protein expression. The overexpressed RAGE protein then increased HUVEC monolayer permeability by activating ERK and P38 MAPK under heat stress. Conclusion This study indicates the critical role of RAGE in heat stress-induced endothelial hyperpermeability in acute lung injury and suggests that RAGE could be a potential therapeutic target in protecting patients against acute lung injury induced by heatstroke.

Abstract
AIMS Metabolic derangement is implicated in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). We aimed to identify the dynamics of metabolic plasma proteins linked to end-stage HF and associated PH in relation to haemodynamics, before and after heart transplantation (HT). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one metabolic plasma proteins were analysed with proximity extension assay in 20 controls and 26 patients before and 1 year after HT. Right heart catheterizations were performed in the HF patients pre-operatively and 1 year after HT. Plasma levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) were higher in HF patients compared with controls (P < 0.0001) and decreased after HT (P < 0.0001), matching controls' levels. The decrease in sRAGE after HT correlated with improved mean pulmonary arterial pressure (rs = 0.7; P < 0.0001), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (rs = 0.73; P < 0.0001), pulmonary vascular resistance (rs = 0.65; P = 0.00062), and pulmonary arterial compliance (rs = -0.52; P = 0.0074). The change in plasma IGFBP7 after HT correlated with improved mean right atrial pressure (rs = 0.71; P = 0.00011) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (rs = 0.71; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that plasma sRAGE may reflect passive pulmonary vascular congestion and the 'mechanical' state of the pulmonary vasculature in HF patients with or without related PH. Furthermore, sRAGE and IGFBP7 may provide additional insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms in HF and associated PH. Their potential clinical and therapeutic relevance in HF and associated PH need further investigation.

Abstract
Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a multiligand binding and single-pass transmembrane protein taken in diverse chronic inflammatory conditions. RAGE behaves as a pattern recognition receptor, which binds and is engaged in the cellular response to a variety of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules, as well as HMGB1, S100 proteins, and AGEs (advanced glycation end-products). The RAGE activation turns out to a formation of numerous intracellular signaling mechanisms, resulting in the progression and prolongation of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The RAGE expression correlates well with the survival of colon cancer cells. RAGE is involved in the tumorigenesis, which increases and develops well in the stressed tumor microenvironment. In this review, we summarized downstream signaling cascade activated by the multiligand activation of RAGE, as well as RAGE ligands and their sources, clinical studies, and tumor markers related to RAGE particularly in the inflammatory tumor microenvironment in CRC. Furthermore, the role of RAGE signaling pathway in CRC patients with diabetic mellitus is investigated. RAGE has been reported to drive assorted signaling pathways, including activator protein 1, nuclear factor-κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, SMAD family member 4 (Smad4), mitogen-activated protein kinases, mammalian target of rapamycin, phosphoinositide 3-kinases, reticular activating system, Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and Glycogen synthase kinase 3β, and even microRNAs.

Abstract
Elevated neutrophil count is associated with higher risk of major adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and early development of heart failure. Neutrophils contribute to cardiac damage through a number of mechanisms, including attraction of other immune cells and release of inflammatory mediators. Recently, a number of independent studies have reported a causal role for neutrophil-derived alarmins (i.e. S100A8/A9) in inducing inflammation and cardiac injury following myocardial infarction (MI). Furthermore, a positive correlation between serum S100A8/A9 levels and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in MI patients was also observed implying that targeting neutrophils or their inflammatory cargo could be beneficial in reducing heart failure. However, contradictory to this idea, neutrophils and neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9 also seem to play a vital role in the resolution of inflammation. Thus, a better understanding of how neutrophils balance these seemingly contrasting functions would allow us to develop effective therapies that preserve the inflammation-resolving function while restricting the damage caused by inflammation. In this review, we specifically discuss the mechanisms behind neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9 in promoting inflammation and resolution in the context of MI. We also provide a perspective on how neutrophils could be potentially targeted to ameliorate cardiac inflammation and the ensuing damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of frozen shoulder (FS) remains uncertain. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) cause the cross-linking and stabilization of collagen and are increased in FS. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pathogenesis of FS by evaluating the receptor of AGE (RAGE)-dependent pathways. METHODS Tissue samples of the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) and anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) were collected from 33 patients with FS, with severe stiffness, and 25 with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) as controls. Gene expression levels of RAGE, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), TLR4, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), and cytokines were evaluated using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The immunoreactivities of carboxymethyllysine (CML), pentosidine, and RAGE were also evaluated. CML and pentosidine were further evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Gene expression levels of RAGE, HMGB1, TLR2, TLR4, and NF-kB were significantly greater in the CHLs and IGHLs from the FS group than in those from the RCT group. Immunoreactivities of RAGE and CML were stronger in the CHLs and IGHLs from the FS group than in those from the RCT group. Pentosidine was weakly immunostained in the CHLs and IGHLs from the FS group. CML using high-performance liquid chromatography was significantly greater in the CHLs and IGHLs from the FS group than in those from the RCT group. CONCLUSIONS AGEs and HMGB1 might play important roles in the pathogenesis of FS by binding to RAGE and activating NF-kB signaling pathways. Suppression of these pathways could be a treatment option for FS.

Synergistic Effect of WTC-Particulate Matter and Lysophosphatidic Acid Exposure and the Role of RAGE: In-Vitro and Translational Assessment. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17124318. [PMID: 32560330 PMCID: PMC7344461 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17124318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
World Trade Center particulate matter (WTC-PM)-exposed firefighters with metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) have a higher risk of WTC lung injury (WTC-LI). Since macrophages are crucial innate pulmonary mediators, we investigated WTC-PM/lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) co-exposure in macrophages. LPA, a low-density lipoprotein metabolite, is a ligand of the advanced glycation end-products receptor (AGER or RAGE). LPA and RAGE are biomarkers of WTC-LI. Human and murine macrophages were exposed to WTC-PM, and/or LPA, and compared to controls. Supernatants were assessed for cytokines/chemokines; cell lysate immunoblots were assessed for signaling intermediates after 24 h. To explore the translatability of our in-vitro findings, we assessed serum cytokines/chemokines and metabolites of symptomatic, never-smoking WTC-exposed firefighters. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering identified phenotypes of WTC-PM-induced inflammation. WTC-PM induced GM-CSF, IL-8, IL-10, and MCP-1 in THP-1-derived macrophages and induced IL-1α, IL-10, TNF-α, and NF-κB in RAW264.7 murine macrophage-like cells. Co-exposure induced synergistic elaboration of IL-10 and MCP-1 in THP-1-derived macrophages. Similarly, co-exposure synergistically induced IL-10 in murine macrophages. Synergistic effects were seen in the context of a downregulation of NF-κB, p-Akt, -STAT3, and -STAT5b. RAGE expression after co-exposure increased in murine macrophages compared to controls. In our integrated analysis, the human cytokine/chemokine biomarker profile of WTC-LI was associated with discriminatory metabolites (fatty acids, sphingolipids, and amino acids). LPA synergistically elaborated WTC-PM’s inflammatory effects in vitro and was partly RAGE-mediated. Further research will focus on the intersection of MetSyn/PM exposure.

Reduced endogenous secretory RAGE in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is associated with poor prognosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Respir Res 2020; 21:145. [PMID: 32527263 PMCID: PMC7291663 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-020-01410-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The endogenous secretory receptor for advanced glycation end products (esRAGE) is a soluble isoform produced by alternative splicing of the RAGE gene. The isoform has anti-inflammatory properties due to its inhibition of the RAGE/ligand interaction and is reduced in the lung tissue of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aimed to investigate the association of esRAGE serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels with progression of IPF. Methods This study included 79 IPF patients and 90 healthy controls. IPF and control serum esRAGE levels were compared, and the correlation between serum and BALF esRAGE levels was analyzed in 57 IPF patient samples. We also investigated the relationship of esRAGE serum and BALF levels with prognoses and lung function parameters in patients with IPF. Results Serum esRAGE levels in IPF patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (162.0 ± 102.4 ng/ml and 200.7 ± 107.3 ng/ml, p = 0.009), although the baseline characteristics of age and smoking history were not matched. Serum levels of esRAGE were correlated with BALF esRAGE levels (rs = 0.317). The BALF esRAGE levels were also correlated with diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (rs = 0.406). A Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and univariate/multivariate Cox hazard proportion analysis revealed that lower levels of esRAGE in blood and BALF were significantly associated with poorer prognoses in patients with IPF. Conclusions Decreased esRAGE levels in BALF and blood were associated with poor prognoses in patients with IPF. These results suggest that esRAGE could be related to the pathophysiology of IPF and serum esRAGE could be a potential prognostic marker of IPF.
