Abstract
Diabetes-mediated development of micro and macro-vascular complications is a global concern. One of the factors is hyperglycemia induced the non-enzymatic formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Accumulated AGEs bind with receptor of AGEs (RAGE) causing inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) modifications responsible for fibrosis, cell damage and tissue remodeling. Moreover, during hyperglycemia, aldosterone (Aldo) secretion increases, and its interaction with mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) through genomic and non-genomic pathways leads to inflammation and fibrosis. Extensive research on individual involvement of AGEs-RAGE and Aldo-MR pathways in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and impaired immune system has led to the discovery of therapeutic drugs. Despite mutual repercussions, the cross-talk between AGEs-RAGE and Aldo-MR pathways remains unresolved. Hence, this review focuses on the possible interaction of Aldo and glycation in DN and CVDs, considering the clinical significance of mutual molecular targets.

Vitorakis N, Piperi C. Pivotal role of AGE-RAGE axis in brain aging with current interventions. Ageing Res Rev 2024; 100:102429.

Abstract
Brain aging is characterized by several structural, biochemical and molecular changes which can vary among different individuals and can be influenced by genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Accumulation of protein aggregates, altered neurotransmitter composition, low-grade chronic inflammation and prolonged oxidative stress have been shown to contribute to brain tissue damage. Among key metabolic byproducts, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), formed endogenously through non-enzymatic reactions or acquired directly from the diet or other exogenous sources, have been detected to accumulate in brain tissue, exerting detrimental effects on cellular structure and function, contributing to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Upon binding to signal transduction receptor RAGE, AGEs can initiate pro-inflammatory pathways, exacerbate oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, thus impairing neuronal function and cognition. AGE-RAGE signaling induces programmed cell death, disrupts the blood-brain barrier and promotes protein aggregation, further compromising brain health. In this review, we investigate the intricate relationship between the AGE-RAGE pathway and brain aging in order to detect affected molecules and potential targets for intervention. Reduction of AGE deposition in brain tissue either through novel pharmacological therapeutics, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes, shows a great promise in mitigating cognitive decline associated with brain aging.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MG) is responsible for advanced glycation end-product formation, the mechanisms leading to diabetes pathogenesis and complications like acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Sugar metabolites, amino acids and fatty acids are possible substrates for MG. The study aimed to measure plasma MG substrate levels using a validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method and explore their association with ACS risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study included 150 T2DM patients with ACS as cases and 150 T2DM without ACS as controls for the analysis of glucose, fructose, ribulose, sorbitol, glycerol, pyruvate, lactate, glycine, serine, threonine, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:0 and C22:6 by GC-MS. Validated GC-MS methods were accurate, precise and sensitive. Cases significantly differed in plasma MG and metabolite levels except for lactate, C16:0, C18:0, C18:2, and C18:3 levels compared with controls. On multivariable logistic regression, plasma C20:0, C18:1, glycine and glycerol levels had increased odds of ACS risk. On multivariate receiver operating characteristic analysis, a model containing plasma C20:0, C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, serine, glycerol, lactate and threonine levels had the highest area under the curve value (0.932) for ACS diagnosis. In conclusion, plasma C20:0, C16:1, C18:1, glycine, glycerol and sorbitol levels were associated with ACS risk in T2DM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease, characterized by raised blood glucose levels and impaired lipid metabolism resulting from insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. In diabetes, the peculiar plasma lipoprotein phenotype, consisting in higher levels of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of HDL cholesterol, elevated number of small, dense LDL, and increased non-HDL cholesterol, results from an increased synthesis and impaired clearance of triglyceride rich lipoproteins. This condition accelerates the development of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the most common cause of death in T2DM patients. Here, we review the alteration of structure, functions, and distribution of circulating lipoproteins and the pathophysiological mechanisms that induce these modifications in T2DM. The review analyzes the influence of diabetes-associated metabolic imbalances throughout the entire process of the atherosclerotic plaque formation, from lipoprotein synthesis to potential plaque destabilization. Addressing the different pathophysiological mechanisms, we suggest improved approaches for assessing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events and clinical strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk in T2DM and cardiometabolic diseases.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients often presents diffuse lesions, with extensive calcification, and it is time-consuming to measure coronary artery calcium score (CACS). Objectives To explore the predictive ability of deep learning (DL)-based CACS for obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD in T2DM. Methods 469 T2DM patients suspected of CAD who accepted CACS scan and coronary CT angiography between January 2013 and December 2020 were enrolled. Obstructive CAD was defined as diameter stenosis ≥50%. Hemodynamically significant CAD was defined as CT-derived fractional flow reserve ≤0.8. CACS was calculated with a fully automated method based on DL algorithm. Logistic regression was applied to determine the independent predictors. The predictive performance was evaluated with area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results DL-CACS (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.005; 95% CI: 1.003-1.006; P < 0.001) was significantly associated with obstructive CAD. DL-CACS (adjusted OR:1.003; 95% CI: 1.002-1.004; P < 0.001) was also an independent predictor for hemodynamically significant CAD. The AUCs, sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values and negative predictive values of DL-CACS for obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD were 0.753 (95% CI: 0.712-0.792), 75.9%, 66.5%, 74.8%, 67.8% and 0.769 (95% CI: 0.728-0.806), 80.7%, 62.1%, 59.6% and 82.3% respectively. It took 1.17 min to perform automated measurement of DL-CACS in total, which was significantly less than manual measurement of 1.73 min (P < 0.001). Conclusions DL-CACS, with less time-consuming, can accurately and effectively predict obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD in T2DM.

Abstract
In 1992, a transcendental report suggested that the receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) functions as a cell surface receptor for a wide and diverse group of compounds, commonly referred to as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), resulting from the non-enzymatic glycation of lipids and proteins in response to hyperglycemia. The interaction of these compounds with RAGE represents an essential element in triggering the cellular response to proteins or lipids that become glycated. Although initially demonstrated for diabetes complications, a growing body of evidence clearly supports RAGE's role in human diseases. Moreover, the recognizing capacities of this receptor have been extended to a plethora of structurally diverse ligands. As a result, it has been acknowledged as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and functionally categorized as the RAGE axis. The ligation to RAGE leads the initiation of a complex signaling cascade and thus triggering crucial cellular events in the pathophysiology of many human diseases. In the present review, we intend to summarize basic features of the RAGE axis biology as well as its contribution to some relevant human diseases such as metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and chronic airways diseases, and cancer as a result of exposure to AGEs, as well as many other ligands.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity are leading causes of cardiometabolic dysfunction. Despite extensive investigation, the mechanisms mediating the increase in these conditions are yet to be fully understood. Beyond the endogenous formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in overweight and obesity, exogenous sources of AGEs accrue through the heating, production, and consumption of highly processed foods. Evidence from cellular and mouse model systems indicates that the interaction of AGEs with their central cell surface receptor for AGE (RAGE) in adipocytes suppresses energy expenditure and that AGE/RAGE contributes to increased adipose inflammation and processes linked to insulin resistance. In human subjects, the circulating soluble forms of RAGE, which are mutable, may serve as biomarkers of obesity and weight loss. Antagonists of RAGE signalling, through blockade of the interaction of the RAGE cytoplasmic domain with the formin, Diaphanous-1 (DIAPH1), target aberrant RAGE activities in metabolic tissues. This review focuses on the potential roles for AGEs and other RAGE ligands and RAGE/DIAPH1 in the pathogenesis of overweight and obesity and their metabolic consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collateral arteries provide an alternative source to the myocardium resulting from ischemia due to occlusive coronary artery disease and may help preserve myocardial function in the case of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although collateral development is so important, its pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. Till now, no study has investigated the relationship between Fibroblast growth factor-21(FGF-21) and coronary collateral. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the pathophysiology of coronary collateral development. METHODS In our study, which we planned as a case-control, 60 consecutive patients with ≥90 stenosis in at least one large coronary artery as a result of coronary angiography (CAG) and 30 patients with normal coronary angiography were included in the study cross-sectional. Demographic, echocardiographic and laboratory data were recorded. Coronary collateral circulation was evaluated using the Rentrop-Cohen method. FGF-21 levels were measured in all individuals. RESULTS In the analysis, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in basic biochemical parameters other than HDL (p>0.05 for all). FGF-21 level was statistically significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (p: 0.003). Also, the FGF-21 level was found to be statistically significantly higher in the good collateral circulation group than the poor (p:0.006). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to predict the presence of collateral. We found that FGF-21(p=0.006), and C-reactive protein (p=0.020) predicted the presence of collateral independently. CONCLUSION Collateral formation and cardiac prognosis are closely related. Our study is the first to investigate the relationship between collateral formation and FGF-21. Our study showed that the FGF-21 level is an independent predictor of collateral formation. In addition, there was a significant difference between bad and good collateral formation regarding FGF-21 levels.

Abstract
Cryopreservation, one of the most effective preservation methods, is essential for maintaining the safety and quality of food. However, there is no denying the fact that the quality of muscle food deteriorates as a result of the unavoidable production of ice. Advancements in cryoregulatory materials and techniques have effectively mitigated the adverse impacts of ice, thereby enhancing the standard of freezing preservation. The first part of this overview explains how ice forms, including the theoretical foundations of nucleation, growth, and recrystallization as well as the key influencing factors that affect each process. Subsequently, the impact of ice formation on the eating quality and nutritional value of muscle food is delineated. A systematic explanation of cutting-edge strategies based on nucleation intervention, growth control, and recrystallization inhibition is offered. These methods include antifreeze proteins, ice-nucleating proteins, antifreeze peptides, natural deep eutectic solvents, polysaccharides, amino acids, and their derivatives. Furthermore, advanced physical techniques such as electrostatic fields, magnetic fields, acoustic fields, liquid nitrogen, and supercooling preservation techniques are expounded upon, which effectively hinder the formation of ice crystals during cryopreservation. The paper outlines the difficulties and potential directions in ice inhibition for effective cryopreservation.

Abstract
Chronic superphysiological glucose concentration is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus (DM) and a cause of damage to many types of cells. Atherosclerosis coexists with glucose metabolism disturbances, constituting a significant problem and exacerbating its complications. Atherosclerosis in DM is accelerated, so it is vital to slow its progression. However, from the complex network of interdependencies, molecules, and processes involved, choosing which ones should be inhibited without blocking the pathways crucial for the organism's functioning is challenging. To conduct this type of analysis, in silicotesting comes in handy. In our study, to identify sites in the network that need to be blocked to have an inhibitory effect on atherosclerosis in hyperglycemia, which is toxic for the human organism, we created a model using Petri net theory and performed analyses. We have found that blocking isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC)-PKCβ and PKCγ-in diabetic patients can contribute to the inhibition of atherosclerosis progression. In addition, we have discovered that aldose reductase inhibition can slow down atherosclerosis progression, and this has been shown to reduce PKC (β and γ) expression in DM. It has also been observed that diminishing oxidative stress through the inhibitory effect on the AGE-RAGE axis may be a promising therapeutic approach in treating hyperglycemia-induced atherosclerosis. Moreover, the blockade of NADPH oxidase, the key enzyme responsible for the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood vessels, only moderately slowed down atherosclerosis development. However, unlike aldose reductase blockade, or direct PKC (β and γ), the increased production of mitochondrial ROS associated with mitochondrial dysfunction effectively stopped after NADPH oxidase blockade. The results obtained may constitute the basis for further in-depth research.

[PMID: 38012584 PMCID: PMC10683361 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03603-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is one of the main reasons for poor prognosis in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). To date, the mechanism remains unknown. As members of the silent information regulator 2 (SIR2) family, both SIRT1 and SIRT3 have been shown to play critical roles in protecting cardiomyocytes against MIRI, but their specific protective mechanism, their interact between the two and their relationship with ferroptosis are still unclear. Hence, in this study, we investigated the interact and specific mechanism of SIRT1 and SIRT3 in protecting cardiomyocytes against MIRI, as well as their association with ferroptosis. METHODS Bioinformatics analysis methods were used to explore the expression of SIRT1 and SIRT3 during MIRI, and then a cell hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model was constructed to verify the results. Then, Pearson correlation analysis was further used to explore the relationship between SIRT1 and SIRT3, whose roles in the regulation of ferroptosis were also analysed by gene knock down, Western Blotting and flow cytometry. Several biomarkers, such as Fe2+ concentration, lipid peroxidation marker MDA and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), were used to evaluate changes in ferroptosis. RESULTS The expression of SIRT1 and SIRT3 was abnormal during MIRI, and SIRT1 was significantly negatively correlated with SIRT3 in the SIRT1-SIRT3 axis. Further analysis revealed that the SIRT1-SIRT3 axis was closely correlated with ferroptosis, and its silencing effectively increase the incidence of ferroptosis. Furthermore, SIRT1-SIRT3 axis silencing was accompanied by changes in PINK1, Parkin, P62/SQSTM1 and LC3 expression. PINK1 silencing significantly increased the incidence of ferroptosis, while resveratrol (Res) and/or honokiol (HKL) effectively reversed the outcome. CONCLUSION Abnormalities in the SIRT1-SIRT3 axis promote MIRI through ferroptosis caused by silencing the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Diabetic Mellitus has been characterized as the most prevalent disease throughout the globe associated with the serious morbidity and mortality of vital organs. Cardiomyopathy is the major leading complication of diabetes and within this, myocardial dysfunction or failure is the leading cause of the emergency hospital admission. The review is aimed to comprehend the perspectives associated with diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications. The data was collected from several electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, ACS publication, PubMed, Springer, etc. using the keywords such as diabetes and its associated complication, the prevalence of diabetes, the anatomical and physiological mechanism of diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy, the molecular mechanism of diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy, oxidative stress, and inflammatory stress, etc. The collected scientific data was screened by different experts based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. This review findings revealed that diabetes is associated with inefficient substrate utilization, inability to increase glucose metabolism and advanced glycation end products within the diabetic heart resulting in mitochondrial uncoupling, glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity, and initially subclinical cardiac dysfunction and finally in overt heart failure. Furthermore, several factors such as hypertension, overexpression of renin angiotensin system, hypertrophic obesity, etc. have been seen as majorly associated with cardiomyopathy. The molecular examination showed biochemical disability and generation of the varieties of free radicals and inflammatory cytokines and becomes are the substantial causes of cardiomyopathy. This review provides a better understanding of the involved pathophysiology and offers an open platform for discussing and targeting therapy in alleviating diabetes-induced early heart failure or cardiomyopathy.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1234271. [PMID: 37965087 PMCID: PMC10642525 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1234271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The causal link between Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary atherosclerosis has been established through wet lab experiments; however, its analysis with Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data remains unexplored. This study aims to validate this relationship using Mendelian randomization analysis and explore the potential mediation of VLDL in this mechanism. Methods Employing Mendelian randomization analysis, we investigated the causal connection between T2D and coronary atherosclerosis. We utilized GWAS summary statistics from European ancestry cohorts, comprising 23,363 coronary atherosclerosis patients and 195,429 controls, along with 32,469 T2D patients and 183,185 controls. VLDL levels, linked to SNPs, were considered as a potential mediating causal factor that might contribute to coronary atherosclerosis in the presence of T2D. We employed the inverse variance weighted (IVW), Egger regression (MR-Egger), weighted median, and weighted model methods for causal effect estimation. A leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was conducted to ensure robustness. Results Our Mendelian randomization analysis demonstrated a genetic association between T2D and an increased coronary atherosclerosis risk, with the IVW estimate at 1.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-1.20]. Additionally, we observed a suggestive causal link between T2D and VLDL levels, as evidenced by the IVW estimate of 1.02 (95% CI: 0.98-1.07). Further supporting lipid involvement in coronary atherosclerosis pathogenesis, the IVW-Egger estimate was 1.30 (95% CI: 1.06-1.58). Conclusion In conclusion, this study highlights the autonomous contributions of T2D and VLDL levels to coronary atherosclerosis development. T2D is linked to a 13.35% elevated risk of coronary atherosclerosis, and within T2D patients, VLDL concentration rises by 2.49%. Notably, each standard deviation increase in VLDL raises the likelihood of heart disease by 29.6%. This underscores the significant role of lipid regulation, particularly VLDL, as a mediating pathway in coronary atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a markedly increased prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Radiomics features of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) were correlated with inflammation, which may have potential value in the prediction of CAD. PURPOSE To determine whether radiomics analysis of PCAT captured by plain computed tomography (CT) could predict obstructive CAD in patients with T2DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 155 patients with T2DM with suspected CAD between January 2020 and December 2021. Volumes of right coronary artery of 10-50 mm were delineated in the plain CT to extract radiomics features and PCAT CT attenuation (PCATa). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to select the useful radiomics features to calculate the radiomics score (Rad-score). Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were applied to select independent predictors. The predictive performance was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC). RESULTS Rad-score (per 0.1 increments: odds ratio [OR] = 1.297; P < 0.001), coronary artery calcium score (CACS) (OR = 1.003; P = 0.037), and sex (OR = 3.245; P = 0.026) were identified as independent predictors for obstructive CAD. Rad-score (AUC = 0.835) outperformed CACS (AUC = 0.780), sex (AUC = 0.665), and PCATa (AUC = 0.550) in predicting obstructive CAD (P = 0.017 and 0.003 for Rad-score vs. sex and PCATa, respectively); however, the improvement between Rad-score and CACS had no statistical significance (P = 0.490). CONCLUSION Plain CT-derived Rad-score may be used as a preliminary screening tool for obstructive CAD in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a neuro-degenerative disorder that encompasses numerous factors that impact peripheral nerves in the context of diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is very prevalent and impacts 50% of diabetic patients. DPN is a length-dependent peripheral nerve lesion that primarily causes distal sensory loss, discomfort, and foot ulceration that may lead to amputation. The pathophysiology is yet to be fully understood, but current literature on the pathophysiology of DPN revolves around understanding various signaling cascades involving the polyol, hexosamine, protein-kinase C, AGE, oxidative stress, and poly (ADP ribose) polymerase pathways. The results of research have suggested that hyperglycemia target Schwann cells and in severe cases, demyelination resulting in central and peripheral sensitization is evident in diabetic patients. Various diagnostic approaches are available, but detection at an early stage remains a challenge. Traditional analgesics and opioids that can be used "as required" have not been the mainstay of treatment thus far. Instead, anticonvulsants and antidepressants that must be taken routinely over time have been the most common treatments. For now, prolonging life and preserving the quality of life are the ultimate goals of diabetes treatment. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of DPN has substantial consequences for occupational therapy because such therapy is necessary for supporting wellness, warding off other chronic-diseases, and avoiding the development of a disability; this is accomplished by engaging in fulfilling activities like yoga, meditation, and physical exercise. Therefore, occupational therapy, along with palliative therapy, may prove to be crucial in halting the onset of neuropathic-symptoms and in lessening those symptoms once they have occurred.

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
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients have a higher incidence of coronary artery disease than the general population. The aim of this study was to develop a radiomics nomogram of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) based on non-contrast CT to predict haemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in T2DM patients. METHODS The study enrolled 215 T2DM patients who underwent non-contrast CT and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). CCTA derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) ≤ 0.80 was defined as hemodynamically significant stenosis.1691 radiomics features were extracted from PCAT on non-contrast CT. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to select useful radiomics features to construct Radscore. Logistic regression was applied to select significant factors among Radscore, fat attenuation index (FAI) and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) to construct radiomics nomogram. RESULTS Radscore [odds ratio (OR) = 2.84; P < 0.001] and CACS (OR = 1.00; P = 0.023) were identified as independent predictors to construct the radiomics nomogram. The radiomics nomogram showed excellent performance [training cohort: area under the curve (AUC) = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.76-0.86; validation cohort: AUC = 0.83; 95%CI: 0.76-0.90] to predict haemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with T2DM. Decision curve analysis demonstrated high clinical value of the radiomics nomogram. CONCLUSION The non-contrast CT-based radiomics nomogram of PCAT could effectively predict haemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with T2DM, which might be a potential noninvasive tool for screening of high-risk patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Coronary atherosclerosis is the leading cause of sudden death among athletes >35 yr old, but current cardiovascular risk prediction algorithms have not been validated for athletes. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) and dicarbonyl compounds have been associated with atherosclerosis and rupture-prone plaques in patients and ex vivo studies. The detection of AGE and dicarbonyl compounds might be a novel screening tool for high-risk coronary atherosclerosis in older athletes. METHODS Concentrations of three different AGE and the dicarbonyl compounds methylglyoxal, glyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone were measured in plasma with ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in athletes from the Measuring Athletes' Risk of Cardiovascular Events 2 study cohort. Coronary plaques, plaque characteristics (calcified, noncalcified or mixed), and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores were assessed with coronary computed tomography, and potential associations with AGE and dicarbonyl compounds were analyzed using linear and logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 289 men were included (60 [quartiles 1-3 = 56-66] yr old, body mass index = 24.5 [22.9-26.6] kg·m -2 ), with a weekly exercise volume of 41 (25-57) MET-hours. Coronary plaques were detected in 241 participants (83%), with a dominant plaque type of calcified plaques in 42%, noncalcified plaques in 12% and mixed plaques in 21%. No AGE or dicarbonyl compounds were associated with total number of plaques or any of the plaque characteristics in adjusted analyses. Similarly, AGE and dicarbonyl compounds were not associated with CAC score. CONCLUSIONS Concentrations of plasma AGE and dicarbonyl compounds do not predict the presence of coronary plaques, plaque characteristics or CAC scores, in middle-age and older athletes.

Abstract
Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) impair vascular physiology in Diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Vascular large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels play important roles in coronary arterial function.Purpose: Our study aimed to investigate the regulatory role of AGEs in BK channels.Research Design: Using gavage of vehicle (V, normal saline) or aminoguanidine (A) for 8 weeks, normal and diabetic rats were divided into four groups: C+V group, DM+V group, C+A group, and DM+A group.Study Sample: Coronary arteries from different groups of rats and human coronary smooth muscle cells were used in this study.Data Collection and Analysis: Data were presented as mean ± SEM (standard error of mean). Student's t-test was used to compare data between two groups. One-way ANOVA with post-hoc LSD analysis was used to compare data between multiple groups.Results: Compared to the C+V group, vascular contraction induced by iberiotoxin (IBTX), a BK channel inhibitor, was impaired, and BK channel densities decreased in the DM+V group. However, aminoguanidine administration reduced the impairment. Protein expression of BK-β1, phosphorylation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) were down-regulated, while F-box protein 32 (FBXO32) expression increased in the DM+V group and in high glucose (HG) cultured human coronary smooth muscle cells. Treatment with aminoguanidine in vitro and in vivo could reverse the above protein expression. The effect of aminoguanidine on the improvement of BK channel function by inhibiting the generation of AGEs was reversed by adding MK2206 (Akt inhibitor) or Compound C (AMPK inhibitor) in HG conditions in vitro.Conclusions: AGEs aggravate BK channel dysfunction via the AMPK/Akt/FBXO32 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Geraniin, an ellagitannin, has shown a potent blood pressure-lowering effect in vivo. Therefore, this study aims to further characterize the ability of geraniin to attenuate hypertensive vascular dysfunction, a key feature of cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Hypertension was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats through feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks, followed by oral administration of 25 mg/kg/day geraniin for four weeks. The parameters of vascular dysfunction such as the structure and function of blood vessels as well as the vascular oxidative stress and inflammation were evaluated. The outcomes of geraniin-treated rats were compared with those of untreated rats on either a normal diet (ND) or HFD and with HFD-fed rats treated with captopril (40 mg/kg/day). We found that geraniin supplementation effectively ameliorated HFD-induced hypertension and abnormal remodelling of the thoracic aorta by suppressing excessive vascular superoxide (O2-) radical generation and overexpression of pro-inflammatory mediators in the circulating leukocytes. Furthermore, compared to the ND-fed rats, geraniin also independently promoted the significant enlargement of the thoracic aortic lumen for blood pressure reduction. Notably, the vascular benefits of geraniin were comparable to that of captopril. Collectively, these data suggest that geraniin can mitigate hypertensive vascular remodelling caused by overnutrition, which potentially abrogates the further development of CVDs.

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
The global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased in recent years. Adverse cardiovascular events have become the main cause of life-threatening events in patients with CKD, and vascular calcification is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Vascular calcification, especially coronary artery calcification, is more prevalent, severe, rapidly progressive, and harmful in patients with CKD. Some features and risk factors are unique to vascular calcification in patients with CKD; the formation of vascular calcification is not only influenced by the phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells, but also by electrolyte and endocrine dysfunction, uremic toxin accumulation, and other novel factors. The study on the mechanism of vascular calcification in patients with renal insufficiency can provide a basis and new target for the prevention and treatment of this disease. This review aims to illustrate the impact of CKD on vascular calcification and to discuss the recent research data on the pathogenesis and factors involved in vascular calcification, mainly focusing on coronary artery calcification, in patients with CKD.

[PMID: 36738986 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104493] [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: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In coronary microvascular disease (CMD) patients, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) ≤ 1.47 is three times higher than that in MPRI > 1.47. We investigated whether the increase of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) could increase the risk of MPRI ≤1.47 in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. METHODS From November 2019, patients with ischemic symptoms but without obstructive coronary disease were screened. Use MPRI measured by stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to reflect microcirculation blood perfusion, and MPRI <2.5 were included. The patients were divided into two groups based on MPRI was greater or <1.47. The risk factors for CMD were explored using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 80 patients with an MPRI of 1.69 ± 0.79 were included. CMD patients with an MPRI of ≤1.47(n = 33) were higher than MPRI of >1.47(n = 47) in age, presence of diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels (P < 0.05). In non-diabetic patients, increased HbA1c was associated with the risk of MPRI≤1.47 (OR = 0.017, 95%CI: 0.050-1.107, P = 0.045). Compared with non-diabetic patients with HbA1c < 6.0, non-diabetic patients with HbA1c ≥ 6.0 increased the risk of MPRI of ≤1.47 (OR = 0.219, 95%CI: 0.069-0.697, P = 0.010). In diabetic patients, HbA1c was not associated with the risk of MPRI of ≤1.47 (OR = 1.043, 95%CI: 0.269, 4.044, P = 0.952). And compared with non-diabetic patients with HbA1c <6.0, diabetic patients with HbA1c <6.0 (OR = 0.917, 95%CI: 0.233-3.610, P = 0.901) or ≥6.0 (OR = 0.326, 95%CI: 0.073-1.446, P = 0.140), the risk of MPRI ≤ 1.47 was not further increased. CONCLUSIONS In non-diabetic patients, elevated HbA1c is related to MPRI≤1.47(a value increased incidence of MACEs). Therefore, in patients with undiagnosed diabetes, early management of glycosylated hemoglobin is very important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are pro-oxidant and cytotoxic compounds involved in the progression of chronic diseases as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The total body burden of AGEs also depend of those consume through the diet. Our aim was to analyze whether the reduction of AGE levels, after the consumption of two-healthy diets were associated with a greater decrease of intima-media thickness of both common carotid arteries (IMT-CC) in patients with T2DM and coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS 540 CHD patients with T2DM, at baseline, from the CORDIOPREV study, were divided into two groups: (1) Responders, patients whose IMT-CC was reduced or not changed after dietary intervention and (2) Non-responders, patients whose IMT-CC was increased after dietary intervention. A total of 423 completed baseline and the 5-year follow-up carotid ultrasounds were analyzed in this study. RESULTS Our data showed that Responders, despite had a higher baseline IMT-CC and serum methylglyoxal (MG) levels than Non-responders, showed a reduction of serum levels of this glycotoxin after dietary intervention. Conversely, in patients whose IMT-CC was increased after dietary intervention (Non-responders), serum MG levels were increased. Moreover, an increase of circulating level of AGEs (and in particular, MG), after dietary intervention, could be considered a risk factor for the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and CHD. CONCLUSION These results support the importance of identifying underlying mechanisms in the context of secondary prevention of CVD that would provide therapeutic targets to reduce the high risk of cardiovascular events of these patients.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are biologically active compounds formed physiologically throughout a sequence of chemical reactions, to generate highly oxidant-reactive aldehydes that combine covalently to proteins. They accumulate slowly in tissues during ageing but also in metabolic and selected inflammatory disorders. Accumulation of AGEs occurs more rapidly and intensely in the skin and serum of patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, chronic renal insufficiency, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and also in the skin of patients with psoriasis. All of the above conditions are intimately associated with psoriasis. Interaction of AGEs with their receptors (RAGEs) stimulates cellular signaling with the formation of reactive oxygen species and activation of nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B (NF-kB), which is a key regulator in the expression of inflammatory mediators and the production of oxidative stress. Thus, AGEs may play an interesting pathogenic role in the intersection of inflammatory and metabolic diseases, may represent a biomarker of inflammation and a potential target for novel therapeutic strategies. This is a narrative review with the objective to summarize current evidence on the role of AGEs in psoriasis.

Abstract
(1) Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant health problem and is associated with dyslipidemia; however, the association between glycative stress, in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and atherogenic dyslipidemia in hyperlipidemic patients with and without DM has rarely been reported. (2) Methods: We prospectively recruited 949 hyperlipidemic patients from the Lipid Clinic of the National Taiwan University Hospital. HbA1c and fasting serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C), small dense LDL-C (sdLDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), triglycerides, and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), were measured. After fasting for 10-14 h, all subjects except those with DM underwent a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with 75 g of glucose loading. All subjects were asked to discontinue the use of lipid-lowering agents for 8 weeks before recruitment. (3) Results: Patients with DM had a higher prevalence of hypertension and higher levels of triglyceride, TC/HDL-C ratio, AGEs, VLDL-C, and sdLDL-C. Among patients with higher HbA1c, the serum VLDL-C, AGEs, and TC/HDL-C ratio were significantly higher than those with lower HbA1c. After adjustment for covariates, multiple logistic regression analyses revealed different groups of dysglycemia with higher HbA1c had a higher odds ratio for TC/HDL-C ≥ 5, sdLDL-C ≥ 75th percentile, VLDL-C ≥ 75th percentile and AGEs ≥ 75th percentile. (4) Conclusions: A higher HbA1c was associated with a significant increase in the risk of atherogenic dyslipidemia and AGEs levels in patients with hyperlipidemia. The findings can be very promising in clinical application.

Abstract
AIMS To construct a simple and feasible rat model to mimic diabetic vasculopathy by chronic injection of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and further determine the role of profilin-1 in vasculopathy in AGE-injection rats. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with AGEs-BSA (25 mg/kg/day) for 0, 20, 30, 40, and 60 days by caudal vein. Then, the morphological changes in the aorta, heart, and kidney and the expression of profilin-1 were assessed. In cultured endothelial cells, shRNA profilin-1 was used to clarify the role of profilin-1 in AGEs-induced vascular endothelial lesions and inflammatory reactions. RESULTS The aorta, heart, and kidney of the AGE-injection rats had obvious morphological changes. Also, the indicators of vascular remodeling in the aorta significantly increased, accompanied by the increased expression of profilin-1 in the aorta, heart, and kidney and polysaccharide content on the kidney basement membrane. In addition, the protein level of profilin-1 was markedly upregulated in the aorta of AGEs-injected rats and endothelial cells incubated with AGEs. shRNA profilin-1 markedly attenuated the upregulated expression of profilin-1, receptor for AGEs (RAGE), and NF-κB in endothelial cells incubated with AGEs, as well as reduced the high levels of ICAM-1, IL-8, TNF-α, ROS, and apoptosis induced by AGEs. CONCLUSIONS Exogenous AGEs can mimic diabetic vasculopathy in vivo to some extent and increase profilin-1 expression in the target organs of diabetic complications. Blockade of profilin-1 attenuates vascular lesions and inflammatory reactions, suggesting its critical role in the metabolic memory mediated by AGEs.

Abstract
As a kind of medicinal and edible homologous fungus, there is a lack of data on the medicinal value of Tremella aurantialba. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was used to screen the chemical components in T. aurantialba. Then, network pharmacology was used to reveal the potential biological activities, active compounds, and therapeutic targets of T. aurantialba. Finally, the potential binding sites of the active compounds of T. aurantialba and key targets were studied by molecular docking. Results showed that 135 chemical components in T. aurantialba, especially linoleic acid, and linolenic acid have significant biological activities in neuroprotective, anticancer, immune, hypoglycemic, and cardiovascular aspects. The existence of these bioactive natural products in T. aurantialba is consistent with the traditional use of T. aurantialba. Moreover, the five diseases have comorbidity molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets. The molecular docking showed that linolenic acid, adenosine, and vitamin D2 had higher binding energy with RXRA, MAPK1, and JUN, respectively. This study is the first to systematically identify chemical components in T. aurantialba and successfully predict its bioactivity, key active compounds, and drug targets, providing a reliable novel strategy for future research on the bioactivity development and utilization of T. aurantialba.

Abstract
Glycation refers to carbonyl group condensation of the reducing sugar with the free amino group of protein, which forms Amadori products and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These AGEs alter protein structure and function by configuring a negative charge on the positively charged arginine and lysine residues. Glycation plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, brain disorders, aging, and gut microbiome dysregulation with the aid of 3 mechanisms: (i) formation of highly reactive metabolic pathway-derived intermediates, which directly affect protein function in cells, (ii) the interaction of AGEs with its associated receptors to create oxidative stress causing the activation of transcription factor NF-κB, and (iii) production of extracellular AGEs hinders interactions between cellular and matrix molecules affecting vascular and neural genesis. Therapeutic strategies are thus required to inhibit glycation at different steps, such as blocking amino and carbonyl groups, Amadori products, AGEs-RAGE interactions, chelating transition metals, scavenging free radicals, and breaking crosslinks formed by AGEs. The present review focused on explicitly elaborating the impact of glycation-influenced molecular mechanisms in developing and treating noncommunicable diseases.

Os produtos finais de glicação avançada (AGEs), produzidos pela falta de controle glicêmico nos pacientes diabéticos, interagem com seus receptores para AGEs (RAGE) resultando no aumento da rigidez arterial e da inflamação e em alterações endoteliais, fatores que intensificam o risco do desenvolvimento da hipertensão e de demais complicações. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados Pubmed, SciELO, Cochrane Library e Web of Science utilizando descritores e operadores booleanos para otimizar a busca, com o objetivo de fornecer o mecanismo da glicação não enzimática de proteínas presente em pacientes com diabetes e sua correlação com o aparecimento da hipertensão, expondo todo o dano endotelial e celular ocasionado pelos AGEs. Foram encontrados 719 artigos, dos quais 99 foram lidos na íntegra, e 26 atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade e foram incluídos na presente revisão. Os AGEs devem ser considerados um dos principais fatores de risco cardiometabólico. A redução da interação AGE-RAGE resultará na proteção cardiovascular e no aumento da expectativa de vida.

Evaluation of Major Constituents of Medicinally Important Plants for Anti-Inflammatory, Antidiabetic and AGEs Inhibiting Properties: In Vitro and Simulatory Evidence. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27196715. [PMID: 36235251 PMCID: PMC9571302 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27196715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern that is associated with several micro- and macrovascular complications. We evaluated several important medicinal plant constituents, including polyphenols and flavonoids, for α-glucosidase inhibition, AGEs’ inhibitory activities using oxidative and no-oxidative assays, the inhibition of protein cross link formation, 15-lipoxydenase inhibition and molecular docking. The molecular docking studies showed high binding energies of flavonoids for transcriptional regulars 1IK3, 3TOP and 4F5S. In the α-glucosidase inhibition assay, a significant inhibition was noted for quercitrin (IC50 7.6 µg/mL) and gallic acid (IC50 8.2 µg/mL). In the AGEs inhibition assays, quercetin showed significant results in both non-oxidative and (IC50 0.04 mg/mL) and oxidative assays (IC50 0.051 mg/mL). Furthermore, quercitrin showed inhibitory activity in the non-oxidative (IC50 0.05 mg/mL) and oxidative assays (IC50 0.34 mg/mL). A significant inhibition of protein cross link formation was observed by SDS-PAGE analysis. Quercitrin (65%) and quercetin (62%) showed significant inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase. It was thus concluded that flavonoids and other polyphenols present in plant extracts can be effective in management of diabetes and allied co-morbidities.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS)-associated cardiovascular disease is an important cause of mortality in an aging population of people living with HIV (PLWH). This elevated risk has been attributed to viral infection, anti-retroviral therapy, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle factors. However, the rates at which PLWH develop AS vary even after controlling for length of infection, treatment duration, and for lifestyle factors. To investigate the molecular signaling underlying this variation, we sequenced 9368 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from eight PLWH, four of whom have atherosclerosis (AS+). Additionally, a publicly available dataset of PBMCs from persons before and after HIV infection was used to investigate the effect of acute HIV infection. To characterize dysregulation of pathways rather than just measuring enrichment, we developed the single-cell Boolean Omics Network Invariant Time Analysis (scBONITA) algorithm. scBONITA infers executable dynamic pathway models and performs a perturbation analysis to identify high impact genes. These dynamic models are used for pathway analysis and to map sequenced cells to characteristic signaling states (attractor analysis). scBONITA revealed that lipid signaling regulates cell migration into the vascular endothelium in AS+ PLWH. Pathways implicated included AGE-RAGE and PI3K-AKT signaling in CD8+ T cells, and glucagon and cAMP signaling pathways in monocytes. Attractor analysis with scBONITA facilitated the pathway-based characterization of cellular states in CD8+ T cells and monocytes. In this manner, we identify critical cell-type specific molecular mechanisms underlying HIV-associated atherosclerosis using a novel computational method.

Abstract
Diabetes is well established as a chronic disease with a high health burden due to mortality or morbidity from the final outcomes of vascular complications. An increased duration of hyperglycemia is associated with abnormal metabolism. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are nonenzymatic glycated forms of free amino acids that lead to abnormal crosslinking of extra-cellular and intracellular proteins by disrupting the normal structure. Furthermore, the interaction of AGEs and their receptors induces several pathways by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation. In this review, we discuss the role of AGEs in diabetic vascular complications, especially type 2 DM, based on recent clinical studies.

Abstract
More than two years on, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world and has battle-tested the pandemic-situation responses of all major global governments. Two key areas of investigation that are still unclear are: the molecular mechanisms that lead to heterogenic patient outcomes, and the causes of Post COVID condition (AKA Long-COVID). In this paper, we introduce the HYGIEIA project, designed to respond to the enormous challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic through a multi-omic approach supported by network medicine. It is hoped that in addition to investigating COVID-19, the logistics deployed within this project will be applicable to other infectious agents, pandemic-type situations, and also other complex, non-infectious diseases. Here, we first look at previous research into COVID-19 in the context of the proteome, metabolome, transcriptome, microbiome, host genome, and viral genome. We then discuss a proposed methodology for a large-scale multi-omic longitudinal study to investigate the aforementioned biological strata through high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and mass-spectrometry (MS) technologies. Lastly, we discuss how a network medicine approach can be used to analyze the data and make meaningful discoveries, with the final aim being the translation of these discoveries into the clinics to improve patient care.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a chronic non-infective syndrome characterised clinically by a set of vascular risk factors that include insulin resistance, hypertension, abdominal obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, and dyslipidaemia. These risk factors are due to a pro-inflammatory state, oxidative stress, haemodynamic dysfunction, and ischaemia, which overlap in 'dysmetabolic' patients. This review aimed to evaluate the relationship between the traditional components of MS with cardiovascular disease (CVD), inflammation, and oxidative stress. MEDLINE-PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched. Chronic low-grade inflammatory states and metaflammation are often accompanied by metabolic changes directly related to CVD incidence, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity. Moreover, the metaflammation is characterised by an increase in the serum concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines, mainly interleukin-1 β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), originating from the chronically inflamed adipose tissue and associated with oxidative stress. The increase of reactive oxygen species overloads the antioxidant systems causing post-translational alterations of proteins, lipids, and DNA leading to oxidative stress. Hyperglycaemia contributes to the increase in oxidative stress and the production of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) which are related to cellular and molecular dysfunction. Oxidative stress and inflammation are associated with cellular senescence and CVD. CVD should not be seen only as being triggered by classical MS risk factors. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial pathological process with several triggering and aetiopathogenic mechanisms. Its medium and long-term repercussions, however, invariably constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Implementing preventive and therapeutic measures against oxy-reductive imbalances and metaflammation states has unquestionable potential for favourable clinical outcomes in cardiovascular medicine.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies demonstrate the role of early and intensive glycemic control in the prevention of micro and macrovascular disease in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Hyperglycemia elicits several pathways related to the etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In this review, we revisit the role played by AGEs in CVD based in clinical trials and experimental evidence. Mechanistic aspects concerning the recognition of AGEs by the advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (AGER) and its counterpart, the dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide-protein glycosyltransferase (DDOST) and soluble AGER are discussed. A special focus is offered to the AGE-elicited pathways that promote cholesterol accumulation in the arterial wall by enhanced oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and impairment in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT).

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is considered one of the main risk factors for atherosclerosis, since high glucose levels trigger multiple pathological processes, such as oxidative stress and hyperproduction of pro-inflammatory mediators, leading to endothelial dysfunction. In this context, recently approved drugs, such as glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), could be considered a powerful tool for to reduce glucose concentration and cardiovascular risk. Interestingly, many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance have been found to be deficient in vitamin D. Recent studies pointed out the unfavorable prognostic values of T2DM and vitamin D deficiency in patients with cardiac dysfunction, either when considered individually or together, which shed light on the role of vitamin D in general health status. New evidence suggests that SGLT2i could adversely affect the production of vitamin D, thereby increasing the risk of fractures, which are common in patients with T2DM. Therefore, given the biological effects of vitamin D as an anti-inflammatory mediator and a regulator of endothelial function and calcium equilibrium, these new findings should be taken into consideration as well. The aim of this review is to gather the latest advancements regarding the use of antidiabetic and antiplatelet drugs coupled with vitamin D supplementation to control glucose levels, therefore reducing the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a complication of diabetes, which is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease (dialysis). DKD has a high mortality rate, and only early detection can nip this disease in the bud. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs)are generally believed to be involved in the occurrence of DKD. Studies have shown that the lens AGEs fluorescence for noninvasive detection has high consistency with the gold standard OGTT, has high sensitivity and specificity, and could be used as a practical tool for the early screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Therefore, we speculated that the noninvasive lens AGEs fluorescence detection method can be used to predict the occurrence of DKD. This study detected levels of AGEs in multiple cellular and tissues and analyzed the relationships between AGEs and lens, eyeballs, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), serum, and kidney. Additionally, we examined the possible role of lens AGEs fluorescence in DKD screening. Our preexperimental study found that lens AGE levels in patients with T2DM were positively correlated with PBM and serum AGE levels. Lens AGE levels in patients with T2DM were negatively correlated with eGFR and positively correlated with urinary ACR. The animal and cell experiments showed that the AGE levels in the eyeballs of DM mice were also positively correlated with those in the serum and kidney. To increase the reliability of the experiment, we increased the sample size. In our results, lens AGEs levels were positively correlated with the occurrence of DKD, and the incidence of DKD in the high lens AGEs group was 2.739 times that in the low lens AGEs group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that patients with T2DM with a lens AGEs value ≥ 0.306 were likely to have DKD. The area under the ROC curve of the noninvasive technique for identifying DKD was 0.757 (95% Cl: 0.677-0.838, p<0.001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 70.0% and 78.7%, respectively. These results suggest that noninvasive lens AGEs detection technology has certain clinical value in diagnosing whether patients with T2DM have DKD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension are among the five risk factors that increase mortality in the world. Both are chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), that have a pathophysiological association. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), produced by the lack of glycemic control in diabetic patients, interact with their AGE receptors (AGER) resulting in increased arterial stiffness, inflammation and endothelial changes - which increases the risk of developing hypertension and other complications. We ran a systematic review in Pubmed, SciELO, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases using keywords and Boolean operators to optimize the search, with the objective of assessing the mechanism of non-enzymatic glycation of proteins present in patients with diabetes and its correlation with the onset of hypertension, exposing all the endothelial and cellular damage caused by AGEs. We found 719 papers, of which 99 were read in full, and 26 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the present review. AGEs should be considered one of the main cardiometabolic risk factors. Reducing the AGE-AGER interaction will result in cardiovascular protection and increased life expectancy.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are independently related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and favor cholesterol and oxysterol accumulation in macrophage foam cells. Soluble RAGE (sRAGE) impairs cellular AGE signaling alleviating the deleterious effects of AGE in atherogenesis. The association between plasma AGEs and sRAGE with the content of cholesterol, markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption, and oxysterols in atherosclerotic plaques was evaluated in subjects undergoing carotid endarterectomy.Plasma and carotid plaques were obtained from symptomatic (n = 23) and asymptomatic subjects (n = 40). Lipids from plaques were extracted and sterols (oxysterols, cholesterol, desmosterol, lathosterol, sitosterol, and campesterol) were determined by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Plasma total AGEs and pentosidine were measured by using fluorimetry and sRAGE by using ELISA.In symptomatic subjects´ atherosclerotic plaques, an increased amount of cholesterol (3x) and oxysterols [7 α-hydroxycholesterol (1.4x); 7 β-hydroxycholesterol (1.2x); 25-hydroxycholesterol (1.3x); 24-hydroxycholesterol (2.7x), and 27-hydroxycholesterol, (1.15x)], with exception to 7 ketocholesterol, were found in comparison to asymptomatic individuals. Plasma total AGEs and pentosidine significantly and positively correlated to sterols accumulated in the atherosclerotic lesion, including cholesterol, desmosterol, campesterol, sitosterol, and oxysterols. On the other hand, sRAGE inversely correlated to total AGEs and pentosidine in plasma, and with major species of oxysterols, cholesterol, and markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption in the atherosclerotic lesion. In multiple regression analyses, it was observed a significant inverse correlation between sRAGE and 24-hydroxycholesterol and desmosterol, and a positive significant correlation between pentosidine and 24-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol, and campesterol.In conclusion, the plasma concentration of AGEs and sRAGE is a tool to predict the accumulation of sterols in atherosclerotic lesions in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, helping to prevent and improve the management of acute cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Muscle foods and their products are a fundamental part of the human diet. The high protein content found in muscle foods, as well as the high content of essential amino acids, provides an appropriate composition to complete the nutritional requirements of humans. However, due to their special composition, they are susceptible to oxidative degradation. In this sense, proteins are highly susceptible to oxidative reactions. However, in contrast to lipid oxidation, which has been studied in depth for decades, protein oxidation of muscle foods has been investigated much less. Moreover, these reactions have an important influence on the quality of muscle foods, from physico-chemical, techno-functional, and nutritional perspectives. In this regard, the loss of essential nutrients, the impairment of texture, water-holding capacity, color and flavor, and the formation of toxic substances are some of the direct consequences of protein oxidation. The loss of quality for muscle foods results in consumer rejection and substantial levels of economic losses, and thus the control of oxidative processes is of vital importance for the food industry. Nonetheless, the complexity of the reactions involved in protein oxidation and the many different factors that influence these reactions make the mechanisms of protein oxidation difficult to fully understand. Therefore, the present manuscript reviews the fundamental mechanisms of protein oxidation, the most important oxidative reactions, the main factors that influence protein oxidation, and the currently available analytical methods to quantify compounds derived from protein oxidation reactions. Finally, the main effects of protein oxidation on the quality of muscle foods, both from physico-chemical and nutritional points of view, are also discussed.

Abstract
Sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been approved as a new class of anti-diabetic drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The SGLT2 inhibitors reduce glucose reabsorption through renal systems, thus improving glycemic control in all stages of diabetes mellitus, independent of insulin. This class of drugs has the advantages of no clinically relevant hypoglycemia and working in synergy when combined with currently available anti-diabetic drugs. While improving sugar level control in these patients, SGLT2 inhibitors also have the advantages of blood-pressure improvement and bodyweight reduction, with potential cardiac and renal protection. In randomized control trials for patients with diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors not only improved cardiovascular and renal outcomes, but also hospitalization for heart failure, with this effect extending to those without diabetes mellitus. Recently, dynamic communication between autophagy and the innate immune system with Beclin 1-TLR9-SIRT3 complexes in response to SGLT2 inhibitors that may serve as a potential treatment strategy for heart failure was discovered. In this review, the background molecular pathways leading to the clinical benefits are examined in this new class of anti-diabetic drugs, the SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation-end products (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor with a role in inflammatory and pulmonary pathologies. Hyperactivation of RAGE by its ligands has been reported to sustain inflammation and oxidative stress in common comorbidities of severe COVID-19. RAGE is essential to the deleterious effects of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which participates in infection and multiorgan injury in COVID-19 patients. Thus, RAGE might be a major player in severe COVID-19, and appears to be a useful therapeutic molecular target in infections by SARS-CoV-2. The role of RAGE gene polymorphisms in predisposing patients to severe COVID-19 is discussed. .

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a group of complex compounds generated by nonenzymatic interactions between proteins and reducing sugars or lipids. AGEs accumulate in vivo and activate various signaling pathways closely related to the occurrence of various chronic metabolic diseases. In this paper, we describe the process through which AGEs are formed, the classification of AGEs, and biological effects of AGEs on human health. Most importantly, we review recent progress in natural compound-based AGE formation inhibitors. Major classes of natural inhibitors, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, terpenoids, vitamins and alkaloids, have been described. Their mechanisms of action have been summarized as scavenging free radicals, chelating metal ions, capturing active carbonyl compounds, protecting protein glycation sites, and lowering blood glucose levels. Although these natural compounds have good antiglycation activity, to date, they are not widely used in the clinic, likely because of their low content levels. However, these natural compounds and their molecular frameworks will play a valuable role in inspiring drug discovery.

Abstract
Obesity is globally a serious public health concern and is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and various types of cancers. It is important to evaluate various types of obesity, such as visceral and sarcopenic obesity. The evidence on the associated risk of CVD, cancer and sarcopenic obesity, including pathophysiological aspects, occurrence, clinical implications and survival, needs further investigation. Sarcopenic obesity is a relatively new term. It is a clinical condition that primarily affects older adults. There are several endocrine-hormonal, metabolic and lifestyle aspects involved in the occurrence of sarcopenic obesity that affect pathophysiological aspects that, in turn, contribute to CVD and neoplasms. However, there is no available evidence on the role of sarcopenic obesity in the occurrence of CVD and cancer and its pathophysiological interplay. Therefore, this review aims to describe the pathophysiological aspects and the clinical and epidemiological evidence on the role of sarcopenic obesity related to the occurrence and mortality risk of various types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. This literature review highlights the need for further research on sarcopenic obesity to demonstrate the interrelation of these various associations.

Abstract
The role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is not limited to diabetes and diabetes-related complications. There are multiple modulators, including the receptor for advanced glycation end products, high mobility group box 1, glyoxalase 1, nuclear factor-kappa B, tumor necrosis factor-α, chronic unpredictable stress, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory cytokines, which interact with AGE signaling and control diabetes, modulating these interacting modulators. The progression of diabetes, as well as related complications, can be controlled and treated. Natural products rich in bioactive constituents can interact with AGEs and their related mediators through various signaling cascades, thereby controlling and preventing the progression of diabetes. This review provides a deeper assessment of the signaling pathway, interactions between phytochemicals and AGEs, and its mediators, to develop a multifold therapeutic approach to prevent and treat diabetes and its related complications.

Effect of Freeze-Thaw Cycles on the Oxidation of Protein and Fat and Its Relationship with the Formation of Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines and Advanced Glycation End Products in Raw Meat. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26051264. [PMID: 33652771 PMCID: PMC7956273 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26051264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of the number of freeze–thaw cycles (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7) on porcine longissimus protein and lipid oxidation, as well as changes in heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their precursors. We analyzed the relationship among HAAs, AGEs, oxidation, and precursors and found the following results after seven freeze–thaw cycles. The HAAs, Norharman and Harman, were 20.33% and 16.67% higher, respectively. The AGEs, Nε-carboxyethyllysine (CEL) and Nε-carboxymethyllysine (CML), were 11.81% and 14.02% higher, respectively. Glucose, creatine, and creatinine were reduced by 33.92%, 5.93%, and 1.12%, respectively after seven freeze–thaw cycles. Norharman was significantly correlated with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS; r2 = 0.910) and glucose (r2 = −0.914). Harman was significantly correlated to TBARS (r2 = 0.951), carbonyl (r2 = 0.990), and glucose (r2 = −0.920). CEL was correlated to TBARS (r2 = 0.992) and carbonyl (r2 = 0.933). These changes suggest that oxidation and the Maillard reaction during freeze–thaw cycles promote HAA and AGE production in raw pork.
