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
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases worldwide, and its long-term complications include neuropathy, referring both to the peripheral and to the central nervous system. Detrimental effects of dysglycemia, especially hyperglycemia, on the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), seem to be a significant backgrounds of diabetic neuropathy pertaining to the central nervous system (CNS). Effects of hyperglycemia, including excessive glucose influx to insulin-independent cells, may induce oxidative stress and secondary innate immunity dependent inflammatory response, which can damage cells within the CNS, thus promoting neurodegeneration and dementia. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) may exert similar, pro-inflammatory effects through activating receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), as well as some pattern-recognition receptors (PRR). Moreover, long-term hyperglycemia can promote brain insulin resistance, which may in turn promote Aβ aggregate accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation. This review is focused on a detailed analysis of the effects mentioned above towards the CNS, with special regard to mechanisms taking part in the pathogenesis of central long-term complications of diabetes mellitus initiated by the loss of BBB integrity.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) remains a challenge for intensivists that is exacerbated by lack of an effective diagnostic tool and an unambiguous definition to properly identify SAE patients. Risk factors for SAE development include age, genetic factors as well as pre-existing neuropsychiatric conditions. Sepsis due to certain infection sites/origins might be more prone to encephalopathy development than other cases. Currently, ICU management of SAE is mainly based on non-pharmacological support. Pre-clinical studies have described the role of the alarmin high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in the complex pathogenesis of SAE. Although there are limited data available about the role of HMGB1 in neuroinflammation following sepsis, it has been implicated in other neurologic disorders, where its translocation from the nucleus to the extracellular space has been found to trigger neuroinflammatory reactions and disrupt the blood–brain barrier. Negating the inflammatory cascade, by targeting HMGB1, may be a strategy to complement non-pharmacologic interventions directed against encephalopathy. This review describes inflammatory cascades implicating HMGB1 and strategies for its use to mitigate sepsis-induced encephalopathy.

Dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol Inhibits Heat Shock Protein B4 (HSPB4)-Induced Inflammatory Pathways In Vitro. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:5839.

Abstract
Our previous work shows that dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG) accelerates corneal epithelial healing in vitro and in vivo by unknown mechanisms. Prior data demonstrate that DOPG inhibits toll-like receptor (TLR) activation and inflammation induced by microbial components (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs) and by endogenous molecules upregulated in psoriatic skin, which act as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to activate TLRs and promote inflammation. In the injured cornea, sterile inflammation can result from the release of the DAMP molecule, heat shock protein B4 (HSPB4), to contribute to delayed wound healing. Here, we show in vitro that DOPG inhibits TLR2 activation induced in response to HSPB4, as well as DAMPs that are elevated in diabetes, a disease that also slows corneal wound healing. Further, we show that the co-receptor, cluster of differentiation-14 (CD14), is necessary for PAMP/DAMP-induced activation of TLR2, as well as of TLR4. Finally, we simulated the high-glucose environment of diabetes to show that elevated glucose levels enhance TLR4 activation by a DAMP known to be upregulated in diabetes. Together, our results demonstrate the anti-inflammatory actions of DOPG and support further investigation into its development as a possible therapy for corneal injury, especially in diabetic patients at high risk of vision-threatening complications.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) may affect the peripheral nervous system and alter the expression of proteins contributing to inflammation and cellular cytoskeleton dysfunction, in most cases leading to the development of diabetic length-dependent neuropathy (DLDN). In the present study, we performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) to probe the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE); its key ligands, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), and carboxymethyl-lysine (CML - advanced glycation end products (AGE)); and its cytoplasmic tail-binding partner, diaphanous related formin 1 (DIAPH1) and associated molecules, beta-actin (ACTB) and profilin 1 (PFN1) proteins in sciatic nerves harvested from seven-month old FVB/OVE26 mice with genetically-mediated T1D. We found that the amount of RAGE, HMGB1, and S100B proteins was elevated in diabetic vs the non-diabetic groups, while the amount of DIAPH1, ACTB, as well as PFN1 proteins did not differ between these groups. Moreover, our data revealed linear dependence between RAGE and HMGB1 proteins. Interaction criss-cross of selected sets of proteins in the sciatic nerve revealed that there were connected in a singular network. Our results indicate that T1D may alter expression patterns of RAGE axis proteins and thus contribute to DLDN.

Abstract
Surgery is associated with alterations of alarmins' and related molecules' levels. The aim of this study was to investigate which biomarkers are most involved in surgery. The studied group consisted of 58 patients with inguinal or umbilical hernia or cholecystolithiasis and 21 healthy controls for compa-rison. We also added seven acute patients with appendicitis, cholecystitis and incarcerated hernia. Serum concentrations of soluble receptor of advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE), extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end-products binding protein (EN-RAGE), calprotectin, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were analysed by ELISA before and after surgery. Preoperative concentrations of calprotectin were significantly decreased while concentrations of sRAGE were significantly increased in patients compared to controls; the concentrations of EN-RAGE and HMGB1 did not differ significantly. IL-6 levels were undetectable in elective patients preoperatively and in controls. Postoperatively, there was a significant increase of EN-RAGE, calprotectin, HMGB1, and IL-6 and a significant decrease of sRAGE compared to preoperative levels. In acute patients, all tested molecules except for sRAGE were significantly increased preoperatively, and sRAGE was significantly decreased. In contrast, after surgery, we could observe a further increase in IL-6; the other biomarkers did not differ significantly. We can conclude that the concentrations of all tested biomarkers are significantly influenced by elective surgery. The postoperative levels of all tested molecules increase except for sRAGE, whose level is significantly decreased after surgery. In acute states, these molecules are already increased, and the influence of surgery is, apart from IL-6, insignificant.

Abstract
HMGB1 is a dual-function protein that acts as a chromatin-binding protein and as a danger-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) when released from activated immune cells or injured tissue. In much of the HMGB1 literature, immunomodulatory effects of extracellular HMGB1 are proposed to depend on its oxidation state. However, many of the foundational studies for this model have been retracted or flagged with expressions of concern. The literature on HMGB1 oxidation reveals a diversity of redox proteoforms of HMGB1 that are inconsistent with current models of redox modulation regulating HMGB1 secretion. A recent study of acetaminophen toxicity has identified previously unrecognized HMGB1 oxidized proteoforms. HMGB1 undergoes oxidative modifications that could serve as pathology-specific biomarkers and drug targets.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased atherogenicity and inflammatory responses, which may be related to high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1). The role of HMGB1 and DKK1 in T2DM is examined in association with lipid and insulin profiles. Serum HMGB1 and DKK1 were measured in T2DM with and without hypertension and compared with controls. The results showed that HMGB1 and DKK1 are higher in T2DM irrespective of hypertension. A large part of the variance in the β-cell index and glucose toxicity was explained by the combined effects of HMGB1 and DKK1. In conclusion, both HMGB1 and DKK1 may contribute to increased atherogenicity in T2DM. Moreover, both biomarkers may cause more deficits in β-cell function and increase glucose toxicity leading to the development of more inflammation and diabetic complications. HMGB1 and the Wnt pathways are other drug targets in treating T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and their interaction with the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) play a pivotal role in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes. In this retrospective cohort study, we explored the association of circulating levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) isoforms, i.e., endogenous secretory esRAGE and cleaved cRAGE, AGEs and their respective ratios with 15-year all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes. METHODS Baseline AGEs and sRAGE isoforms concentration were measured by ELISA in 362 patients with type 2 diabetes and in 125 age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects (CTR). Independent predictors of mortality were determined using Cox proportional-hazards models and used to build and validate a nomogram for all-cause mortality prediction in type 2 diabetes. RESULTS AGEs, total sRAGE, cRAGE and the AGEs/sRAGE and AGEs/esRAGE ratios were significantly increased in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to CTR (p < 0.001). In CTR subjects, but not in type 2 diabetes patients, a significant negative correlation between cRAGE and age was confirmed (p = 0.003), whereas the AGEs/sRAGE (p = 0.032) and AGEs/cRAGE (p = 0.006) ratios were positively associated with age. At an average follow-up of 15 years (4,982 person-years), 130 deaths were observed. The increase in the AGEs/cRAGE ratio was accompanied by a higher risk of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (HR per each SD increment = 1.30, 95% CI 1.15-1.47; p < 0.001). Moreover, sRAGE was associated with the development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in type 2 diabetes patients without previous MACE (OR for each SD increase: 1.48, 95% CI 1.11-1.89). A nomogram based on age, sex, HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, and the AGEs/cRAGE ratio was built to predict 5-, 10- and 15-year survival in type 2 diabetes. Patients were categorized into quartiles of the monogram scores and Kaplan-Meier survival curves confirmed the prognostic accuracy of the model (log-rank p = 6.5 × 10- 13). CONCLUSIONS The ratio between AGEs and the cRAGE isoform is predictive of 15-year survival in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our data support the assessment of circulating AGEs and soluble RAGE isoforms in patients with type 2 diabetes as predictors of MACE and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Diabetes contributes to the onset of various diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies have highlighted the similarities and relationship between diabetes and dementia as an important issue for treating diabetes-related cognitive deficits. Diabetes-related dementia exhibits several features, including blood-brain barrier disruption, brain insulin resistance, and Aβ over-accumulation. High-mobility group box1 (HMGB1) is a protein known to regulate gene transcription and cellular mechanisms by binding to DNA or chromatin via receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Recent studies have demonstrated that the interplay between HMGB1, RAGE, and TLR4 can impact both neuropathology and diabetic alterations. Herein, we review the recent research regarding the roles of HMGB1-RAGE-TLR4 axis in diabetes-related dementia from several perspectives and emphasize the importance of the influence of HMGB1 in diabetes-related dementia.

Abstract
The current anti-cancer treatments are not enough to eradicate tumors, and therefore, new modalities and strategies are still needed. Most tumors generate an inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME) and maintain the niche for their development. Because of the critical role of inflammation via high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)–receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) signaling pathway in the TME, a novel compound possessing both anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities by suppressing the HMGB1-RAGE axis provides an effective strategy for cancer treatment. A recent work of our group found that some anti-cancer 3-styrylchromones have weak anti-inflammatory activities via the suppression of this axis. In this direction, we searched such anti-cancer molecules possessing potent anti-inflammatory activities and discovered 7-methoxy-3-hydroxy-styrylchromone (C6) having dual suppressive activities. Mechanism-of-action studies revealed that C6 inhibited the increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) under the stimulation of HMGB1-RAGE signaling and thereby suppressed cytokine production in macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells. On the other hand, in colorectal cancer HCT116 cells, C6 inhibited the activation of ERK1/2, cyclin-dependent kinase 1, and AKT, down-regulated the protein level of XIAP, and up-regulated pro-apoptotic Bax and caspase-3/7 expression. These alterations are suggested to be involved in the C6-induced suppression of cell cycle/proliferation and initiation of apoptosis in the cancer cells. More importantly, in cancer cells, the treatment of C6 potentiates the anti-cancer effects of DNA-damaging agents. Thus, C6 may be a promising lead for the generation of a novel class of cancer therapeutics.

Peripheral Neuropathy Presents Similar Symptoms and Pathological Changes in Both High-Fat Diet and Pharmacologically Induced Pre- and Diabetic Mouse Models. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11111267. [PMID: 34833143 PMCID: PMC8618965 DOI: 10.3390/life11111267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of the study was to compare the effects of experimentally induced type 1 or type 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D) on the functional, structural and biochemical properties of mouse peripheral nerves. Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into three groups, including the control (CTRL, chow-fed), STZ (streptozotocin (STZ)-injected), and HFD (high-fat diet (HFD)-fed) group. After 18-weeks of experimental treatment, HFD mice had higher body weights and elevated levels of plasma lipids, while STZ mice developed hyperglycemia. STZ-treated mice, after an extended period of untreated diabetes, developed motor and sensory nerve conduction-velocity deficits. Moreover, relative to control fibers, pre- and diabetic axons were lower in number and irregular in shape. Animals from both treatment groups manifested a pronounced overexpression of nNOS and a reduced expression of SOD1 proteins in the sciatic nerve, indicating oxidative–nitrosative stress and ineffective antioxidant protection in the peripheral nervous system of these mice. Collectively, STZ- and HFD-treated mice revealed similar characteristics of peripheral nerve damage, including a number of morphological and electrophysiological pathologies in the sciatic nerve. While hyperglycemia is a large component of diabetic neuropathy pathogenesis, the non-hyperglycemic effects of diabetes, including dyslipidemia, may also be of importance in the development of this condition.

Abstract
Neuropathy, or dysfunction of peripheral nerve, is one of the most common neurological manifestation in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is typically associated with a hyperglycaemic milieu, which promotes non-enzymatic glycation of proteins. Proteins with advanced glycation are known to engage a cell-surface receptor called the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). Thus, it is reasonable to assume that RAGE and its associated molecule-mediated cellular signalling may contribute to DM-induced symmetrical axonal (length-dependent) neuropathy. Of particular interest is diaphanous related formin 1 (DIAPH1), a cytoskeletal organizing molecule, which interacts with the cytosolic domain of RAGE and whose dysfunction may precipitate axonopathy/neuropathy. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that both RAGE and DIAPH1 are expressed in the motor and sensory fibres of nerve harvested from DM animal models. Although the detailed molecular role of RAGE and DIAPH1 in diabetic neurological complications remains unclear, here we will discuss available evidence of their involvement in peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Specifically, we will discuss how a hyperglycaemic environment is not only likely to elevate advanced glycation end products (ligands of RAGE) and induce a pro-inflammatory environment but also alter signalling via RAGE and DIAPH1. Further, hyperglycaemia may regulate epigenetic mechanisms that interacts with RAGE signalling. We suggest the cumulative effect of hyperglycaemia on RAGE-DIAPH1-mediated signalling may be disruptive to axonal cytoskeletal organization and transport and is therefore likely to play a key role in pathogenesis of diabetic symmetrical axonal neuropathy.

Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate Prevents Apoptosis and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Induced by High Glucose in SH-SY5Y Cell Line and Counteracts Neuropathic Pain in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9060608.

Abstract
Glycyrrhiza glabra, commonly known as liquorice, contains several bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, sterols, triterpene, and saponins; among which, glycyrrhizic acid, an oleanane-type saponin, is the most abundant component in liquorice root. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus, leading to painful condition as neuropathic pain. The pathogenetic mechanism of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is very complex, and its understanding could lead to a more suitable therapeutic strategy. In this work, we analyzed the effects of ammonium glycyrrhizinate, a derivate salt of glycyrrhizic acid, on an in vitro system, neuroblastoma cells line SH-SY5Y, and we observed that ammonium glycyrrhizinate was able to prevent cytotoxic effect and mitochondrial fragmentation after high-glucose administration. In an in vivo experiment, we found that a short-repeated treatment with ammonium glycyrrhizinate was able to attenuate neuropathic hyperalgesia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. In conclusion, our results showed that ammonium glycyrrhizinate could ameliorate diabetic peripheral neuropathy, counteracting both in vitro and in vivo effects induced by high glucose, and might represent a complementary medicine for the clinical management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

[PMID: 33724642 PMCID: PMC8051722 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.16075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Several studies reported the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in vascular calcification. High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) plays a substantial role in diabetes and its complications. However, relatively little information is available regarding the association between HMGB-1 and calcification, and the underlying mechanism has still remained elusive. Therefore, in the present study, we attempted to indicate whether HMGB-1 could promote vascular calcification via ERS in diabetes. After induction of diabetes by Streptozotocin (STZ), mice were treated with glycyrrhizin (Gly) or 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA). Mineral deposition was confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and calcium assay. In cell experiments, calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was performed with Alizarin Red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and RT-PCR. Expression and location of HMGB-1 in aortic tissue were detected by Western blotting, immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Diabetic mice demonstrated increased HMGB-1 expression, ERS and vascular calcification. However, inhibition of HMGB-1 with Gly or inhibition of ERS with 4-PBA ameliorated the enhanced vascular calcification and ERS in diabetic mice. In vitro experiments unveiled that inhibition of HMGB-1 attenuated advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced ERS in VSMCs. In addition, AGEs promoted translocation and secretion of HMGB-1 in VSMCs, which was reversed by 4-PBA. Moreover, VSMCs exhibited increased mineralization and osteogenic gene expressions in response to HMGB-1 and AGEs. However, inhibition of ERS with 4-PBA partially, although noticeably, attenuated VSMC calcification induced by HMGB-1. Thus, diabetes induced translocation and secretion of HMGB-1 via ERS, which resulted in calcification in diabetic mice and in AGEs-treated VSMCs.

Abstract
The growing proportion of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients with clinical features of insulin resistance (IR) has led to the description of a distinctive T1DM subgroup, still unrecognised by current guidelines, called double diabetes, assumingly associated with poorer metabolic phenotype and increased risk of micro- and macrovascular complications. The main goal of identifying double diabetes, estimated to be present in up to half of T1DM patients, is timely implementation of appropriate therapeutic interventions to reduce the increased risk of chronic complications and other adverse metabolic traits associated with this condition. Proposed diagnostic criteria are largely divided into three different groups: family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity/metabolic syndrome, and IR. Estimated glucose disposal rate may prove the most reliable marker of double diabetes. In addition to general measures (diet, physical activity, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering medications, etc.) and development of new insulin preparations with more hepatic action, double diabetes patients may derive more benefit from agents developed for T2DM. Indeed, such potentially promising agents include glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose contrasporter-2 inhibitors, and their combination. We are now awaiting long-term trials assessing metabolic and vascular benefits of these medications in double diabetes.

Abstract
Background: This study assessed the influence of the haptoglobin phenotype on markers regulating inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The haptoglobin phenotypes, soluble form of CD163 receptor (sCD163), p53 concentrations and high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), interleukin 10 (IL-10) secretion in serum were assayed via ELISA tests. In the first part of the project, patients were divided into three groups which differed by the haptoglobin phenotype, and afterwards into two groups according to the criterion of the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease. Results: Diabetic patients with haptoglobin phenotype 1-1 (Hp1-1) had a significantly higher concentration of IL-10 and sCD163 compared to haptoglobin phenotype 2-1 (Hp2-1) and haptoglobin phenotype 2-2 (Hp2-2). Moreover, diabetic patients with Hp1-1 had a significantly lower concentration of p53 and HMGB1 compared to diabetic patients with Hp2-1 and Hp2-2. The results have shown that diabetics with Hp2-1 had a significantly lower postprandial glucose level compared to diabetics with Hp2-2. Apart from that, there were no differences in the occurrence of haptoglobin variants between patients with or without cardiovascular disease. Conclusions: Our study provides new data for a relationship between the type of haptoglobin in patients with type 2 diabetes and the concentration of factors that regulate the body’s inflammation. We have shown that the Hp1-1 can serve as a genetic marker of inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Background The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipid-lowering drugs (LLD) and/or antihypertensive drugs (AHD) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods Cross-sectional design. T1D patients were consecutively recruited from one diabetes clinic. Blood samples were collected, supplemented with data from electronic health records. sRAGE and EN-RAGE were analysed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. An EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio was calculated. Adjustments were performed with inflammatory and metabolic variables, s-creatinine, depression, smoking, physical inactivity, medication, and cardiovascular complications. Multiple regression analyses were performed. Results In this study 283 T1D patients (men 56%, 18–59 years) were included. One-hundred and thirty LLD users compared to 153 non-users had lower levels of the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio (P = 0.009), and 89 AHD users compared to 194 non-users had lower levels of sRAGE (P = 0.031). The use of LLD (inversely) (B coefficient − 0.158, P = 0.033) and the use of AHD (B coefficient 0.187, P = 0.023) were associated with the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio. sRAGE (Lg10) (per unit) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.4–9.1, P = 0.009), EN-RAGE (Lg10) (per unit) (inversely) (AOR 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2–1.0, P = 0.046), age (P < 0.001), and triglycerides (P < 0.029), were associated with LLD. sRAGE (Lg10) (per unit) (inversely) (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.1–0.5, P = 0.001), diabetes duration, triglycerides, s-creatinine, and systolic BP (all P values < 0.043), were associated with AHD. Conclusions Higher sRAGE levels and lower EN-RAGE levels were linked to the use of LLD, whereas lower sRAGE levels were linked to the use of AHD. No other variables but the use of LLD and the use of AHD were linked to the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio. This may be of major importance as sRAGE is an inhibitor and EN-RAGE is a stimulator of inflammatory processes mediated by RAGE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with type 1 diabetes have high risk of developing microvascular complications, and microangiopathy contributes to premature cardiovascular disease in this population. The role that microvesicles (MVs) may play in the development of microangiopathy in type 1 diabetes remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma levels of endothelial MVs (EMVs) and platelet MVs (PMVs) in 130 patients with type 1 diabetes without microangiopathy, 106 patients with microangiopathy and 100 matched healthy controls were analyzed using flow cytometry. MV expression of procoagulant phosphatidylserine (PS) and proinflammatory high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) was also assessed. RESULTS Patients with type 1 diabetes had markedly elevated levels of EMVs and PS+ EMVs as well as PMVs and PS+ PMVs compared to healthy controls (p < .001 for all). Furthermore, HMGB1+ EMVs and HMGB1+ PMVs were significantly increased in patients (p < .001 for all). After adjusting for potential confounders, there were no clear differences between patients with or without microvascular complications for any of the MV parameters. CONCLUSION Type 1 diabetes is a prothrombotic and proinflammatory disease state that, regardless of the presence of clinical microangiopathy, is associated with elevated levels of plasma MVs, in particular those of an endothelial origin. We have for the first time demonstrated that patients with type 1 diabetes have higher levels of HMGB1+ MVs. HMGB1 is an alarmin with potent proinflammatory effects that drive endothelial dysfunction, and it would therefore be of interest to further study the role of HMGB1+ MVs in the development of macrovascular complications in type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Background The role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFA), and the potential impact of n-3PUFA supplementation, in the treatment and management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unclear and controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the efficacy of daily high-dose-bolus n-3PUFA supplementation on vascular health, glycaemic control, and metabolic parameters in subjects with T1D. Methods Twenty-seven adults with T1D were recruited to a 6-month randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects received either 3.3 g/day of encapsulated n-3PUFA or encapsulated 3.0 g/day corn oil placebo (PLA) for 6-months, with follow-up at 9-months after 3-month washout. Erythrocyte fatty acid composition was determined via gas chromatography. Endpoints included inflammation-associated endothelial biomarkers (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-1], intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], E-selectin, P-selectin, pentraxin-3, vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]), and their mediator tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFα] analysed via immunoassay, vascular structure (carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) and function (brachial artery flow mediated dilation [FMD]) determined via ultrasound technique, blood pressure, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and postprandial metabolism. Results Twenty subjects completed the trial in full. In the n-3PUFA group, the mean ± SD baseline n-3PUFA index of 4.93 ± 0.94% increased to 7.67 ± 1.86% (P < 0.001) after 3-months, and 8.29 ± 1.45% (P < 0.001) after 6-months. Total exposure to n-3PUFA over the 6-months (area under the curve) was 14.27 ± 3.05% per month under n-3PUFA, and 9.11 ± 2.74% per month under PLA (P < 0.001). VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin, P-selectin, pentraxin-3, VEGF, TNFα, CIMT, FMD, blood pressure, HbA1c, FPG, and postprandial metabolism did not differ between or within groups after treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusions This study indicates that daily high-dose-bolus of n-3PUFA supplementation for 6-months does not improve vascular health, glucose homeostasis, or metabolic parameters in subjects with T1D. The findings from this preliminary RCT do not support the use of therapeutic n-3PUFA supplementation in the treatment and management of T1D and its associated complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular complications remain an important cause of morbidity in diabetic patients, and they are associated with a significant economic burden for healthcare systems. Vascular leakage is one of the earlier hallmarks in diabetic microvascular complications. Ezrin, Radixin and Moesin (ERM) proteins have recently been involved in vascular dysfunction under the effect of molecular mediators of diabetes complications. In this review, we will present the available evidence regarding the role of these proteins in vascular leakage and their putative implication in diabetic microvascular complications. METHODS AND RESULTS A comprehensive literature search of the electronic MEDLINE database was performed between November 2017 and January 2018. As a result, 36 articles have been reviewed and discussed. DISCUSSION ERM proteins are cytoskeleton-membrane linkers, and when activated in endothelial cells are able to induce cytoskeleton reorganization in stress fibers leading to the disassembly of focal adhesions and the formation of paracellular gaps which result in an increase of vascular permeability. The activation of these proteins is induced by mediators involved in diabetic complications such as PKC activation, TNF-α, AGEs and oxidative stress. In conclusion, ERMs play an essential role in endothelium homeostasis and can be envisaged as a new therapeutic molecular target for preventing or arresting diabetes-induced vascular leakage.

Abstract
Isoforms of the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) protein, which lack the transmembrane and the signaling (soluble RAGE or sRAGE) domains are hypothesized to counteract the detrimental action of the full-length receptor by acting as a decoy, and they provide a potential tool to treat RAGE-associated diseases. Multiple studies have explored the relationship between sRAGE and endogenous secretory RAGE and its polymorphism and obesity, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, kidney function, and increased mortality in the general population. In addition, sRAGE may be a key player in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its microvascular (e.g. kidney disease) as well as macrovascular (e.g. cardiovascular disease) complications. In this review, we focus on the role of sRAGE as a biomarker in these specific areas. As there is a lack of an underlying unifying hypothesis about how sRAGE changes according to the disease condition or risk factor, there is a call to incorporate all three players of the AGE-RAGE axis into a new universal biomarker/risk marker: (AGE + RAGE)/sRAGE. However, the measurement of RAGE in humans is not practical as it is a cell-bound receptor for which tissue is required for analysis. A high AGE/sRAGE ratio may be a valuable alternative and practical universal biomarker/risk marker for diseases associated with the AGE-RAGE axis, irrespective of low or high serum sRAGE concentrations.

High Mobility Group Box 1 Mediates TMAO-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20143570.

Abstract
The intestinal microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The molecular mechanisms of how TMAO induces atherosclerosis and CVDs’ progression are still unclear. In this regard, high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), an inflammatory mediator, has been reported to disrupt cell–cell junctions, resulting in vascular endothelial hyper permeability leading to endothelial dysfunction. The present study tested whether TMAO associated endothelial dysfunction results via HMGB1 activation. Biochemical and RT-PCR analysis showed that TMAO increased the HMGB1 expression in a dose-dependent manner in endothelial cells. However, prior treatment with glycyrrhizin, an HMGB1 binder, abolished the TMAO-induced HMGB1 production in endothelial cells. Furthermore, Western blot and immunofluorescent analysis showed significant decrease in the expression of cell–cell junction proteins ZO-2, Occludin, and VE-cadherin in TMAO treated endothelial cells compared with control cells. However, prior treatment with glycyrrhizin attenuated the TMAO-induced cell–cell junction proteins’ disruption. TMAO increased toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression in endothelial cells. Inhibition of TLR4 expression by TLR4 siRNA protected the endothelial cells from TMAO associated tight junction protein disruption via HMGB1. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that HMGB1 is one of the important mediators of TMAO-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Objective- Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is known to modulate coagulation, inflammation, and metabolic pathways. It also amplifies inflammatory responses of HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1) in endothelial cells. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of polyP on von Willebrand factor (VWF) release from endothelial cells with or without HMGB1. Approach and Results- EA.hy926 endothelial cells were treated with different concentrations of polyP70 alone or in combination with different concentrations of HMGB1. VWF release was measured by an ELISA assay in the absence or presence of pharmacological inhibitors of the receptor for advanced glycation end products, P2Y1, and Ca2+. A flow chamber assay was used to monitor polyP70-mediated platelet recruitment and VWF-platelet string formation. PolyP70 and HMGB1 induced VWF release from endothelial cells by a concentration-dependent manner. PolyP70 amplified HMGB1-mediated VWF release from endothelial cells. This was also true if boiled platelet releasate was used as the source of polyP. Gene silencing or pharmacological inhibitors of receptor for advanced glycation end products, P2Y1, and Ca2+ significantly inhibited VWF release. PolyP70 and HMGB1 synergistically promoted VWF-platelet string formation in the flow chamber assay, which was inhibited by the anti-GPIbα (glycoprotein Ib alpha) antibody. VWF release by polyP70-HMGB1 complex required phosphorylation of Src and phospholipase C because inhibitors of Src, phospholipase C, and Ca2+ signaling significantly decreased VWF secretion. The polyP70-HMGB1 complex also increased angiopoietin-2 release, indicating that Weibel-Palade body exocytosis is involved in the VWF release. Conclusions- PolyP70 can promote thrombotic and inflammatory pathways by inducing VWF release and platelet string formation on endothelial cells.

Abstract
The loss of endothelial connective integrity and endothelial barrier dysfunction can lead to increased vascular injury, which is related to the activation of endothelial inflammasomes. There are evidences that low concentrations of aspirin can effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that low-dose aspirin could ameliorate endothelial injury by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and ultimately prevent cardiovascular diseases. Microvascular endothelial cells were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (2 μg/mL) and administrated by 0.1–2 mmol/L aspirin. The wild type mice were stimulated with LPS (100 μg/kg/day), and 1 h later treated with aspirin (12.5, 62.5, or 125 mg/kg/day) and dexamethasone (0.0182 mg/kg/day) for 7 days. Plasma and heart were harvested for measurement of ELISA and immunofluorescence analyses. We found that aspirin could inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome formation and activation in vitro in dose-dependent manner and has correlation between the NLRP3 inflammasome and the ROS/TXNIP pathway. We also found that low-concentration aspirin could inhibit the formation and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and restore the expression of the endothelial tight junction protein zonula occludens-1/2 (ZO1/2). We assume that aspirin can ameliorate the endothelial layer dysfunction by suppressing the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
There is increasing awareness that in addition to the metabolic crisis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) caused by severe insulin deficiency, the immune inflammatory response is likely an active multicomponent participant in both the acute and chronic insults of this medical crisis, with strong evidence of activation for both the cytokine and complement system. Recent studies report that the matrix metalloproteinase enzymes and their inhibitors are systemically activated in young Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) patients during DKA and speculate on their involvement in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Based on our previous studies, we address the question if matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is expressed in the brain in the fatal brain edema (BE) of DKA. Our data show significant expression of MMP9 on the cells present in brain intravascular areas. The presence of MMP9 in intravascular cells and that of MMP+ cells seen passing the BBB indicates a possible role in tight junction protein disruption of the BBB, possibly leading to neurological complications including BE. We have also shown that MMP9 is expressed on neurons in the hippocampal areas of both BE/DKA cases investigated, while expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) was reduced in the same areas. We can speculate that intraneuronal MMP9 can be a sign of neurodegeneration. Further studies are necessary to determine the role of MMP9 in the pathogenesis of the neurologic catastrophe of the brain edema of DKA. Inhibition of MMP9 expression might be helpful in preserving neuronal function and BBB integrity during DKA.

Abstract
AIMS Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance that is first diagnosed during pregnancy. Maternal adipose tissue and fetal membranes secrete various molecules that are relevant players in the pathogenesis of GDM. This pilot study aimed to examine whether the expression of the high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and its receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and its receptors (VPAC-1,-2) were modified in pregnant women with GDM. METHODS Fetal membranes (FMs), omental adipose tissue (VAT) explants, and serum samples were obtained from 12 women with GDM and 12 with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at delivery. The expression of HMGB1, RAGE and VIP, VPAC-1,-2 was detected by Western Blotting in explants; circulating levels and "in vitro" release of HMGB1 and VIP were measured by ELISA tests. RESULTS HMGB1 tissue expression was higher in FMs obtained from GDM women (p = 0.02) than in FMs from NGT women. VPAC2 (p = 0.03) and RAGE (p = 0.03) tissue expressions were significantly increased in VAT from GDM subjects. Only FMs of NGT released detectable levels of HMGB1, which was not observed in samples obtained from GDM. VAT of GDM released lower levels of VIP (p = 0.05) than NGT samples. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that a fine tuned regulation exists between FMs and VAT throughout pregnancy to maintain immune metabolic homeostasis. In GDM a balance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators has been observed. Further studies are needed to establish their exact role on fetal and maternal outcomes in GDM.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promote the development of diabetic complications through activation of their receptor (RAGE). Isoforms of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) sequester AGEs and protect against RAGE-mediated diabetic complications. We investigated the effect of an overnight fast on circulating metabolic substrates, hormones, AGEs, and sRAGE isoforms in 26 individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Blood was collected from 26 young (18–30 years) T1DM patients on insulin pumps before and after an overnight fast. Circulating AGEs were measured via LC-MS/MS and sRAGE isoforms were analyzed via ELISA. Glucose, insulin, glucagon, and eGFRcystatin-c decreased while cortisol increased following the overnight fast (p < 0.05). AGEs (CML, CEL, 3DG-H, MG-H1, and G-H1) decreased (21–58%, p < 0.0001) while total sRAGE, cleaved RAGE (cRAGE), and endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) increased (22–24%, p < 0.0001) following the overnight fast. The changes in sRAGE isoforms were inversely related to MG-H1 (rho = −0.493 to −0.589, p < 0.05) and the change in esRAGE was inversely related to the change in G-H1 (rho = −0.474, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analyses revealed a 1 pg/mL increase in total sRAGE, cRAGE, or esRAGE independently predicted a 0.42–0.52 nmol/L decrease in MG-H1. Short-term energy restriction via an overnight fast resulted in increased sRAGE isoforms and may be protective against AGE accumulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has been implicated as a critical molecule in the pathogenesis of experimental asthma/allergic airway inflammation (AAI). It has been previously shown that RAGE acts both upstream of interleukin-33 (IL-33) release and downstream of IL-33 release via RAGE-dependent IL-33-induced accumulation of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lungs, which perpetuate type 2 inflammation and mucus metaplasia. However, the mechanism by which RAGE mediates downstream IL-33-induced type 2 inflammatory responses is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study tested the hypothesis that ILC2s are recruited to the lungs via RAGE-dependent vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) expression on lung endothelial cells. METHODS House dust mite extract, Alternaria alternata extract, or rIL-33 was used to induce AAI/VCAM-1 expression in wild-type (WT) and RAGE-knockout (RAGE-KO) mice. Intravenous (i.v.) anti-VCAM-1 or intraperitoneal (i.p.) β7 blocking antibody administration was used to determine the role of VCAM-1 in IL-33-induced AAI. RESULTS Enhanced VCAM-1 expression in the lungs by HDM, AA, or rIL-33 exposure was found to be RAGE-dependent. In addition, stimulation of primary mouse lung endothelial cells with IL-33 induced VCAM-1 expression in WT, but not RAGE-KO cells. Administration of VCAM-1 and β7-integrin blocking antibodies reduced IL-33-induced eosinophilic inflammation, mucus metaplasia, and type 2 inflammatory responses. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that allergen- and cytokine-induced VCAM-1 expression is RAGE-dependent and contributes to lung ILC2 accumulation and downstream eosinophilic inflammation, mucus metaplasia, and type 2 inflammatory responses.

Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is newly discovered protein, which play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of systemic inflammation. Recent studies showed that HMGB1 is one of the important pathophysiological mechanisms in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between serum HMGB1 levels and endothelial function in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Eighty newly diagnosed patients with PCOS and eighty normal women of similar age were selected. Metformin treatment (1,500 mg/day) was initiated in all patients for a period of consecutive 3 months. Serum HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA. High resolution ultrasound was used to measure the brachial artery diameter at rest, after reactive hyperemia (flow-mediated arterial dilation, FMD) and after sublingual glyceryltrinitrate. Serum HMGB1 levels in PCOS were 24.87±14.93 ng/ml, which were significantly higher than that in controls (8.82±3.55 ng/ml, p<0.01). After 3 months treatment, serum HMGB1 levels decreased significantly (p<0.05). By dividing the distribution of HMGB1 levels into quartiles, serum HMGB1 levels were increased gradually with the increase of testosterone levels (p<0.05), whereas the FMD levels decreased (p<0.05). Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that FMD (estimated coefficient β=-0.69, p=0.005), testosterone (β=0.31, p=0.045), TBARS (β=0.69, p=0.012) and hs-CRP levels (β=0.68, p=0.001) were significantly associated with HMGB1. The absolute changes in HMGB1 showed a positive correlation with the changes in testosterone (p<0.05) and negative correlation with the changes in FMD (p<0.05) in patients with PCOS during the course of metformin therapy. Serum HMGB1 levels are correlated with endothelial dysfunction in patients with PCOS. Our study suggests that HMGB1 may contribute to the early stage of atherosclerosis in patients with PCOS

Abstract
![]()
High mobility group
box 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone chromosomal
protein, which can be secreted through a variety of pathways and bind
to pattern recognition receptors to release pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Previous studies have suggested that HMGB1 is upregulated in numerous
inflammatory diseases and that it could be a biomarker for such diseases.
However, these studies used immunoassay-based methods to analyze serum
HMGB1. Autoantibodies to HMGB1 in serum are found in healthy control
subjects as well as in patients with different diseases. HMGB1 also
binds to haptoglobin, a highly abundant plasma protein. This means
that antibodies used in immunoassays must compete with binding of
HMGB1 to endogenous serum HMGB1 autoantibodies and haptoglobin. To
overcome these potential problems, we developed and validated a specific
and sensitive assay based on stable isotope dilution and immunopurification
to quantify HMGB1 in plasma and serum using two-dimensional nano-ultra-high-performance
liquid chromatography parallel reaction monitoring/high-resolution
mass spectrometry. Using this assay, we found that serum HMGB1 in
24 healthy control subjects (6.0 ± 2.1 ng/mL) was above the mean
concentration reported for 18 different diseases (5.4 ± 2.8 ng/mL)
where the analyses were conducted with immunoassay methodology. In
light of our finding, the role of HMGB1 in these diseases will have
to be re-evaluated. The concentration of HMGB1 in citrated and EDTA-treated
plasma from the same healthy control subjects was below the limit
of detection of our assay (1 ng/mL), confirming that HMGB1 in serum
arises when blood is allowed to clot. This means that future studies
on the role of HMGB1 in vivo should be conducted on plasma rather
than serum.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myeloid-related protein (MRP) family plays an important role in the promotion of cell proliferation and the production of inflammatory cytokines. We investigated the expression of MRP6, MRP8 and MRP14 in thyroid tissues, serum, and peripheral blood monocular cells (PBMCs) in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). METHOD The expression of MRP6, MRP8, and MRP14 was investigated using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in the thyroid glands of 7 patients with Graves' disease (GD), 8 with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), and 7 healthy controls (HC). The serum levels of MRP8/MRP14 complex and MRP6 were investigated in 30 patients with GD, 36 with HT, and 30 with HC. The mRNA expression of MRP proteins in PBMCs was also explored. PBMCs from each group were incubated with MPRs and their effect on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) expression and their effect on the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines in supernatant were analyzed upon incubating with TLR4 and signaling pathways inhibitors. RESULTS Serum levels of MRP8/MRP14 and MRP6 were up-regulated in patients with AITD. In addition, mRNA expression of MRP proteins in PBMCs and the thyroid gland was markedly elevated in AITD patients. MRP6 and MPR8 promoted the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 in cultured PBMCs, and this elevation was more pronounced in AITD patients; we also found that this up-regulation was regulated by TLR4/phosphoinositide 3-kinase/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The expression of MRP proteins was elevated in AITD patients. Therefore, an MRP-TLR4 dependent signaling may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AITD.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether HMGB1 (high mobility group box-1 protein) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) were involved in the irradiation-induced endothelial barrier damage and their mechanism. We constructed the damage model of endothelium barrier model with bEnd.3 cells. The permeability of endothelial barrier was detected by sodium fluorescein (Na-F) permeation test, and the irradiation dose which could induce permeability transition was determined by being exposed to different irradiation doses (5, 10, 15, 20 Gy). MTT assay was applied to detect cell viability under different concentrations of HMGB1, glycyrrhizic acid (GA, a specific inhibitor of HMGB1), and FPS-ZM1 (a blood-brain-barrier permeant blocker of RAGE V domain-mediated ligand binding). The expression of HMGB1, RAGE, and related molecules involved in MAPK signaling pathway, MMP-2, MMP-9, ZO-1, and claudin 5 of differently treated groups were measured by qRT-PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence. Cells possessed stable endothelial barrier function on 4-7 days after seeded on transwell plates. The permeability of endothelial barrier would change under at least 10 Gy radiation. Both radiation and HMGB1 treatment alone could improve the permeability. After irradiation, the expressions of HMGB1 and RAGE increased and MAPK signal pathway was activated. Meanwhile, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were overexpressed, while the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and claudin 5 was decreased. Radiation could activate MAPK signaling pathway through promoting the expression of HMGB1 and RAGE, which further led to endothelial barrier injury and changed its permeability.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of diabetes continues to be a major health issue worldwide. Alteration of mitochondrial electron transport chain is a recognized hallmark of the diabetic-associated decline in liver bioenergetics; however, the molecular events involved are only poorly understood. Moringa oleifera is used for the treatment of diabetes. However, its role on mitochondrial functionality is not yet established. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of M. oleifera extract on supercomplex formation, ATPase activity, ROS production, GSH levels, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation. The levels of lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation were increased in diabetic group. However, the levels were decreased in Moringa-treated diabetic rats. Analysis of in-gel activity showed an increase in all complex activities in the diabetic group, but spectrophotometric determinations of complex II and IV activities were unaffected in this treatment. However, we found an oxygen consumption abolition through complex I-III-IV pathway in the diabetic group treated with Moringa. While respiration with succinate feeding into complex II-III-IV was increased in the diabetic group. These findings suggest that hyperglycemia modifies oxygen consumption, supercomplexes formation, and increases ROS levels in mitochondria from the liver of STZ-diabetic rats, whereas M. oleifera may have a protective role against some alterations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) is a nuclear protein also acting as inflammatory mediator, whilst osteoprotegerin (OPG), member of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is indicated as marker of vascular calcification. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are clinical conditions characterized by elevated serum inflammatory markers and vascular calcification enhancement. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of HMGB-1, OPG and several inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein (HsCRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the presence and severity of peripheral artery disease in patients with T2D. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we have analyzed HMGB-1, OPG and inflammatory cytokines serum levels in 1393 type 2 diabetic patients with PAD and without PAD (WPAD). RESULTS HMGB-1 (7.89 ± 15.23 ng/mL), OPG (6.54 ± 7.76 pmol/L), HsCRP (15.6 ± 14.4 mg/L) and IL-6 (56.1 ± 28.6 pg/mL) serum levels were significantly higher in patients with PAD than in those WPAD (3.02 ± 8.12 ng/mL, P ˂ 0.001; 2.98 ± 2.01 pmol/L, P < 0.001; 7.05 ± 4.4 mg/L, P < 0.001; 37.5 ± 20.2 pg/mL, P < 0.001 respectively). Moreover HMGB-1 (P < 0.001), OPG (P < 0.001), HsCRP (P < 0.001) and IL-6 (P < 0.001) serum levels were positively correlated with clinical severity of PAD. HMGB-1 (adjusted OR 12.32; 95% CI 3.56-23.54, P = 0.023) and OPG (adjusted OR 3.53; 95% CI 1.54-6.15, P = 0.019) resulted independent determinants of PAD in patients with T2D after adjusting for the conventional cardiovascular risk factor and established inflammatory mediators. CONCLUSIONS In T2D patients HMGB-1 and OPG serum levels are higher in patients affected by PAD and independently associated with its occurrence and clinical severity.

Abstract
High mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1), a damage-associated molecular pattern, can be actively or passively released from various cells under different conditions and plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of inflammation and angiogenesis-dependent diseases. More and more evidence suggests that inflammation, in addition to its role in progression of diabetes, also promotes initiation and development of diabetic complications. In this review, we focus on the role of HMGB-1 in diabetes-related complications and the therapeutic strategies targeting HMGB-1 in diabetic complications.

Abstract
Significance. With an alarming increase in recent years, diabetes mellitus has become a global challenge. Despite advances in treatment of diabetes mellitus, currently, medications available are unable to control the progression of diabetes and its complications. Growing evidence suggests that inflammation is an important pathogenic mediator in the development of diabetes mellitus. The perspectives including suggestions for new therapies involving the shift from metabolic stress to inflammation should be taken into account. Critical Issues. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a nonhistone nuclear protein regulating gene expression, was rediscovered as an endogenous danger signal molecule to trigger inflammatory responses when released into extracellular milieu in the late 1990s. Given the similarities of inflammatory response in the development of T2D, we will discuss the potential implication of HMGB1 in the pathogenesis of T2D. Importantly, we will summarize and renovate the role of HMGB1 and HMGB1-mediated inflammatory pathways in adipose tissue inflammation, insulin resistance, and islet dysfunction. Future Directions. HMGB1 and its downstream receptors RAGE and TLRs may serve as potential antidiabetic targets. Current and forthcoming projects in this territory will pave the way for prospective approaches targeting the center of HMGB1-mediated inflammation to improve T2D and its complications.

Diabetes-Induced Oxidative Stress in Endothelial Progenitor Cells May Be Sustained by a Positive Feedback Loop Involving High Mobility Group Box-1. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2016:1943918.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is considered to be a critical factor in diabetes-induced endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) dysfunction, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the role of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) in diabetes-induced oxidative stress. HMGB-1 was upregulated in both serum and bone marrow-derived monocytes from diabetic mice compared with control mice. In vitro, advanced glycation end productions (AGEs) induced, expression of HMGB-1 in EPCs and in cell culture supernatants in a dose-dependent manner. However, inhibition of oxidative stress with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) partially inhibited the induction of HMGB-1 induced by AGEs. Furthermore, p66shc expression in EPCs induced by AGEs was abrogated by incubation with glycyrrhizin (Gly), while increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in cell culture supernatants was observed in the Gly treated group. Thus, HMGB-1 may play an important role in diabetes-induced oxidative stress in EPCs via a positive feedback loop involving the AGE/reactive oxygen species/HMGB-1 pathway.

Abstract
Over the past 2 decades there has been increasing evidence supporting an important contribution from food-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to the body pool of AGEs and therefore increased oxidative stress and inflammation, processes that play a major role in the causation of chronic diseases. A 3-d symposium (1st Latin American Symposium of AGEs) to discuss this subject took place in Guanajuato, Mexico, on 1-3 October 2014 with the participation of researchers from several countries. This review is a summary of the different presentations and subjects discussed, and it is divided into 4 sections. The first section deals with current general knowledge about AGEs. The second section dwells on mechanisms of action of AGEs, with special emphasis on the receptor for advanced glycation end products and the potential role of AGEs in neurodegenerative diseases. The third section discusses different approaches to decrease the AGE burden. The last section discusses current methodologic problems with measurement of AGEs in different samples. The subject under discussion is complex and extensive and cannot be completely covered in a short review. Therefore, some areas of interest have been left out because of space. However, we hope this review illustrates currently known facts about dietary AGEs as well as pointing out areas that require further research.

Abstract
AIMS This study hypothesized that activation of endothelial nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor protein with pyrin domain containing 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasomes directly produces endothelial dysfunction during hypercholesterolemia, which is distinct from its canonical roles in inflammation. RESULTS Acute hypercholesterolemia in mice was induced by intraperitoneal administration of poloxamer 407 (0.5 g/kg) for 24 h. Endothelial dysfunction was assessed by evaluating endothelium-dependent vasodilation in isolated, perfused, and pressurized coronary arteries in response to bradykinin (10(-10)-10(-6) M) and acetylcholine (10(-9)-10(-5) M). Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation was observed in Nlrp3(+/+) mice with acute hypercholesterolemia, which was markedly ameliorated in Nlrp3(-/-) mice. Treatment of mice with inhibitors for caspase-1 or high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) significantly restored endothelium-dependent vasodilation in Nlrp3(+/+) mice with acute hypercholesterolemia. Confocal microscopic analysis demonstrated that hypercholesterolemia markedly increased caspase-1 activity and HMGB1 expression in coronary arterial endothelium of Nlrp3(+/+) mice, which was absent in Nlrp3-deficient mice. Further, recombinant HMGB1 directly induced endothelial dysfunction in normal Nlrp3(+/+) coronary arteries. In vitro, Nlrp3 inflammasome formation and its activity were instigated in cultured endothelial cells by cholesterol crystal, a danger factor associated with hypercholesterolemia. Moreover, cholesterol crystals directly induced endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries from Nlrp3(+/+) mice, which was attenuated in Nlrp3(-/-) arteries. Such cholesterol crystal-induced impairment was associated with enhanced superoxide production, downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity, and pyroptosis. INNOVATION AND CONCLUSION Our data provide the first evidence that activation of endothelial Nlrp3 inflammasome directly impairs endothelial function beyond its canonical inflammatory actions. This novel non-canonical action of Nlrp3 inflammasomes may initiate or exacerbate vascular injury during hypercholesterolemia.

Effects of methanolic extracts from edible plants on endogenous secretory receptor for advanced glycation end products induced by the high glucose incubation in human endothelial cells. J Pharm Bioallied Sci 2015; 7:145-50.

Abstract
Background: In diabetic populations, endogenous secretory receptor for advanced glycation end products (esRAGE) levels may be related to the degree of diabetic complications or to the protection from diabetic complications. Objective: We investigated the impact of 29 methanolic extracts from edible plants on esRAGE production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured in high (4.5 g/L) glucose. Materials and Methods: Edible plants were minced, and extracts were obtained with methanol overnight. The methanolic extracts from 29 edible plants were evaporated in a vacuum. For screening study purposes, HUVECs were seeded in culture dishes (1.5 × 105 cells). Then, HUVECs were incubated with 1 g/L or 4.5 g/L of glucose in SFM CS-C medium treated with methanolic extracts from edible plants (MEEP) for 96 h. Determination of esRAGE production in the cell culture-derived supernatants was performed by colorimetric ELISA. The 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level was determined by using the 8-OHdG Check ELISA kit. Peroxynitrite-dependent oxidation of 2’, 7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein to 2’, 7’-dichlorofluorescein was estimated based on the method described by Crow. Because MEEP were methanolic extracts, we measured their total phenolic content (TPC). TPC was measured with a modified version of the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Results: The results showed eight extracts increased esRAGE production. The extract from white radish sprouts showed the highest esRAGE production activity, and then eggplant, carrot peel, young sweet corn, Jew's marrow, broad bean, Japanese radish and cauliflower. In order to understand the mechanism of esRAGE production, the eight extracts were examined for DNA damage, peroxynitrite scavenging activity, and TPC in correlation with their esRAGE production. The results showed esRAGE production correlates with the peroxynitrite level and TPC. Conclusion: This study supports the utilization of these eight extracts in folk medicine for improved treatment of diabetic complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their interactions with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) may play a role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. This study set out to assess whether there is any association of circulating concentrations of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), AGEs, and their ratio with the appearance of diabetes-associated autoantibodies in children progressing to clinical diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum concentrations of sRAGE, N-ε(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) adducts, and the sRAGE/CML ratio were analyzed in children who progressed to type 1 diabetes. The samples were taken at four time points: before seroconversion, at the time of the first autoantibody-positive sample, at the time of the first sample positive for multiple (>2) autoantibodies, and close to the disease diagnosis. Samples of autoantibody-negative controls matched for age, sex, and HLA-conferred diabetes risk were analyzed at corresponding time points. RESULTS The prediabetic children had higher sRAGE concentrations before seroconversion (Pc = 0.03), at the appearance of multiple autoantibodies (Pc = 0.008), and close to diagnosis (Pc = 0.04). Close to diagnosis, the cases had lower CML concentrations than the controls (Pc = 0.004). Prediabetic children had a higher sRAGE/CML ratio than the controls before seroconversion (Pc = 0.008) and at diagnosis (Pc < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Prediabetic children have higher concentrations of sRAGE and a higher sRAGE/CML ratio than healthy controls. Circulating sRAGE concentrations seem to decline with the appearance of diabetes-predictive autoantibodies in children progressing to type 1 diabetes. The higher sRAGE/CML ratio in prediabetic children may reflect a higher AGE scavenger capacity.

Abstract
Intraperitoneal glucose degradation products (GDP) load influences systemic advanced glycation end products (AGEs) but the effects on soluble receptor for AGEs (s-RAGE) and its proinflammatory ligands: extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end-products binding protein(EN-RAGE) and high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) are unknown. We aimed to compare plasma and peritoneal s-RAGE, EN-RAGE and HMGB-1 between three peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescription regimens with different intraperitoneal GDP loads. High GDP load (glucose-lactate PD fluid, D; N = 8) was compared with a low (glucose-bicarbonate/lactate with icodextrin for overnight dwell, E; N = 9) and a very low GDP load (glucose-bicarbonate/lactate, P; N = 16). D group demonstrated higher plasma EN-RAGE, 77.8 ng/mL, vs. both E, 11.2, P < 0.001 and P, 27.0, P < 0.001 as well as higher plasma HMGB-1, 2.2 ng/mL vs. both E, 1.1, P < 0.01 and P, 1.5, P < 0.01. Plasma s-RAGE, which did not differ between D, E and P, correlated with its effluent levels. Patients with faster peritoneal transport (D/Pcr > 0.65) tended to have higher plasma s-RAGE compared to slow transporters (2300 vs. 1762 pg/mL, P = 0.056). Peritoneal clearance of s-RAGE and EN-RAGE was higher with E compared to both D and P (P < 0.001 resp. P < 0.01). Subgroup of PD patients with CRP above median demonstrated higher plasma HMGB-1 and EN-RAGE, P < 0.05 for both. A lower intraperitoneal GDP load is associated with decreased plasma levels of EN-RAGE and HMGB-1. Peritoneal transport, microinflammation and the capability of icodextrin to increase peritoneal clearance of middle molecular weight substances might also exert an effect on plasma s-RAGE and its proinflammatory ligands levels.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are key players in pathogenesis of long-term vascular diabetes complications. Several enzymes such as fructosamine 3-kinase (FN3K) and glyoxalase I (GLO I) are crucial in preventing glycation processes. The aim of our study was to evaluate an association of FN3K (rs1056534, rs3848403) and GLO1 rs4746 polymorphisms with parameters of endothelial dysfunction and soluble receptor for AGEs (sRAGE) in 595 diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Genotypic and allelic frequencies of mentioned polymorphisms did not differ between subgroups. In diabetic patients significant differences were observed in sRAGE concentrations according to their rs1056534 and rs3848403 genotype. While GG and CG genotypes of rs1056534 with mutated G allele were associated with significant decrease of sRAGE (GG: 1055+/-458 and CG: 983+/-363 vs. CC: 1796+/-987 ng/l, p<0.0001), in rs3848403 polymorphism TT genotype with mutated T allele was related with significant sRAGE increase (TT: 1365+/-852 vs. CT: 1016+/-401 and CC: 1087+/-508 ng/l, p=0.05). Significant differences in adhesion molecules were observed in genotype subgroups of GLO1 rs4746 polymorphism. In conclusion, this is the first study describing significant relationship of FN3K (rs1056534) and (rs3848403) polymorphisms with concentration of sRAGE in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Complex genetic and physiological variations as well as environmental factors that drive emergence of chromosomal instability, development of unscheduled cell death, skewed differentiation, and altered metabolism are central to the pathogenesis of human diseases and disorders. Understanding the molecular bases for these processes is important for the development of new diagnostic biomarkers, and for identifying new therapeutic targets. In 1973, a group of non-histone nuclear proteins with high electrophoretic mobility was discovered and termed high-mobility group (HMG) proteins. The HMG proteins include three superfamilies termed HMGB, HMGN, and HMGA. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), the most abundant and well-studied HMG protein, senses and coordinates the cellular stress response and plays a critical role not only inside of the cell as a DNA chaperone, chromosome guardian, autophagy sustainer, and protector from apoptotic cell death, but also outside the cell as the prototypic damage associated molecular pattern molecule (DAMP). This DAMP, in conjunction with other factors, thus has cytokine, chemokine, and growth factor activity, orchestrating the inflammatory and immune response. All of these characteristics make HMGB1 a critical molecular target in multiple human diseases including infectious diseases, ischemia, immune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Indeed, a number of emergent strategies have been used to inhibit HMGB1 expression, release, and activity in vitro and in vivo. These include antibodies, peptide inhibitors, RNAi, anti-coagulants, endogenous hormones, various chemical compounds, HMGB1-receptor and signaling pathway inhibition, artificial DNAs, physical strategies including vagus nerve stimulation and other surgical approaches. Future work further investigating the details of HMGB1 localization, structure, post-translational modification, and identification of additional partners will undoubtedly uncover additional secrets regarding HMGB1's multiple functions.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been shown to be associated with high oxidative stress and cardiovascular disease. In this chapter our focus will be on the role of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptor, RAGE in CKD progression and their role on cardiovascular complications. We provide a succinct, yet comprehensive summary of the current knowledge, the challenges and the future therapeutic avenues that are stemming out from novel recent findings. We first briefly review glycation and AGE formation and the role of the kidney in their metabolism. Next, we focus on the RAGE, its signaling and role in oxidative stress. We address the possible role of soluble RAGEs as decoys and the controversy regarding this issue. We then provide the latest information on the specific role of both AGE and RAGE in inflammation and perpetuation of kidney damage in diabetes and in CKD without diabetes, which is the main purpose of the review. Finally, we offer an update on new avenues to target the AGE-RAGE axis in CKD.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperglycemia induces inflammation and endothelial dysfunction resulting in vascular complications in patients with diabetes. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are central to the regulation of inflammatory responses through activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ĸB). This study examined the role of TLR2 and 4 in regulating inflammation and endothelial dysfunction when exposed to fluctuating glucose concentrations. HMEC-1 cells (a human microvascular endothelial cell line) were exposed to control (5 mM), 30 mM (high), fluctuating (5/30 mM) and 11.2 mM glucose (approximate glycaemic criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus) for 72 h. Cells were assessed for TLR2, 4, high mobility group box -1 (HMGB1), NF-ĸB, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-8 (IL-8), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Fluctuating glucose concentrations maximally upregulated TLR4 but not TLR2 expression with increased NF-ĸB activation, IL-8 and ICAM-1 expression. HMGB1 was increased in the supernatants of cells exposed to 30 mM and 11.2 mM glucose compared to control. The addition of recombinant HMGB1 induced NF-ĸB activation and synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which were prevented by TLR2 or 4 signalling inhibition. An additive effect when both TLR2 and 4 signalling pathways were inhibited was observed. However, only inhibition of TLR4 signalling suppressed the synthesis of MCP-1, IL-8 and ICAM-1. In vivo, streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice exhibited an increase in glomerular ICAM-1 which was not evident in TLR2-/- or TLR4-/- diabetic mice. Collectively, our results suggest that targeting the signalling pathway of TLR2 and 4 may be of therapeutic benefit in attenuating vascular inflammation in diabetic microangiopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We analyzed the relationship among soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGEs), the clinical phenotype, HLA genotype, and risk-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the AGER gene in a large population of Finnish children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Samples from 2,115 clinically phenotyped children <15 years of age in whom type 1 diabetes was diagnosed and 316 control subjects were analyzed for sRAGEs. Three SNPs of AGER, previously associated with HLA-DR/DQ haplotype independent diabetes risk (rs2070600, rs9469089, and rs17493811), were analyzed in 1,390 affected subjects. RESULTS Children with type 1 diabetes and control subjects had similar sRAGE concentrations (1,171 vs. 1,153 pg/mL, P = 0.48). There was a correlation between age at diagnosis and serum sRAGE concentrations (r = 0.10, P < 0.001) among the patients but not among the control subjects. Children <2 years of age had the lowest concentrations in the diabetic population (1,027 vs. 1,181 pg/mL, P < 0.001) and the highest among the control subjects (1,329 vs. 1,140 pg/mL, P = 0.04). Ketoacidosis at diagnosis was associated with reduced concentrations (1,086 vs. 1,190 pg/mL, P < 0.001). HLA DR3/DR4 heterozygosity and the DR3 allele were associated with reduced sRAGE concentrations. The predisposing AA genotype of rs2070600 was associated with decreased sRAGE concentrations, while the protective CC genotype of rs9469089 was linked to increased concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Age and AGER polymorphisms are associated with the circulating sRAGE concentration among children with type 1 diabetes. The observations of reduced sRAGE concentrations in young children, in those with ketoacidosis, and in carriers of the high-risk HLA DR3/DR4 genotype suggest that decreased sRAGE concentration reflects a more aggressive disease phenotype.

Abstract
In the context of plaque progression, platelet hyperactivity associated with hyperlipidemia contributes to the development of a pro-thrombotic state. In this context, it has been demonstrated that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) significantly increases platelet activation and receptor for AGEs (RAGE) expression at the platelet surface membrane. In addition to AGEs, other ligands (S100, HMGB1 and amyloid β, among others) of RAGE have raised particular attention in platelet activation. Therefore, in this article we describe platelet hyperactivity by AGEs via RAGE-independent and RAGE-dependent pathways.
