J Hypertens 2024; 42:530-537. [PMID: 38088420 PMCID: PMC10842672 DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000003627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Advanced glycation end product (AGE) is an established risk marker for diabetic vascular disease, and associated with the degree of diabetes complications, renal failure, and atherosclerosis in middle-aged and older individuals. The relationship between AGEs and aortic stiffness has not been thoroughly examined in the younger general population. We aimed to evaluate the association between AGEs and aortic stiffness in the general population of young and middle-aged adults. METHODS We analysed cross-sectionally 2518 participants from a Swedish population-based cohort, the Malmö Offspring Study (mean age 41.8 ± 14.5 years, 52.2%). Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) were measured by a well validated, noninvasive method using skin autofluorescence with AGE-Reader. Aortic stiffness was assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix) was calibrated to a standard heart rate of 75 bpm at the arteria radialis using SphygmoCor. Multivariable linear regression was performed stratified by age to analyse the association between skin AGE and aortic stiffness. RESULTS Increased levels of AGEs were significantly associated with higher direct measurements of aortic stiffness (vascular ageing) in younger individuals (PWV β 0.55 m/s, P < 0.001) after adjustment for traditional cardiometabolic risk factors, however, not in older individuals (PWV β 0.23 m/s, P = 0.10). Indirect vascular ageing was also significantly associated with higher levels of AGEs in both younger (Aix β 7.78, P < 0.001) and older individuals (Aix β 3.69, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Higher levels of skin autofluorescence-AGEs are positively associated with increased vascular ageing in younger adults from the general population, independent of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma associate with high morbidity and mortality. High levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were found in tissue and plasma of COPD patients but their role in COPD and asthma is unclear. METHODS In the Rotterdam Study (n = 2577), AGEs (by skin autofluorescence (SAF)), FEV1 and lung diffusing capacity (DLCOc and DLCOc /alveolar volume [VA]) were measured. Associations of SAF with asthma, COPD, GOLD stage, and lung function were analyzed using logistic and linear regression adjusted for covariates, followed by interaction and stratification analyses. sRAGE and EN-RAGE associations with COPD prevalence were analyzed by logistic regression. RESULTS SAF associated with COPD prevalence (OR = 1.299 [1.060, 1.591]) but not when adjusted for smoking (OR = 1.106 [0.89, 1.363]). SAF associated with FEV1% predicted (β=-3.384 [-4.877, -1.892]), DLCOc (β=-0.212 [-0.327, -0.097]) and GOLD stage (OR = 4.073, p = 0.001, stage 3&4 versus 1). Stratified, the association between SAF and FEV1%predicted was stronger in COPD (β=-6.362 [-9.055, -3.670]) than non-COPD (β=-1.712 [-3.306, -0.118]). Association of SAF with DLCOc and DLCOc/VA were confined to COPD (β=-0.550 [-0.909, -0.191]; β=-0.065 [-0.117, -0.014] respectively). SAF interacted with former smoking and COPD prevalence for associations with lung function. Lower sRAGE and higher EN-RAGE associated with COPD prevalence (OR = 0.575[0.354, 0.931]; OR = 1.778[1.142, 2.768], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Associations between SAF, lung function and COPD prevalence were strongly influenced by smoking. SAF associated with COPD severity and its association with lung function was more prominent within COPD. These results fuel further research into interrelations and causality between SAF, smoking and COPD. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE Skin AGEs associated with prevalence and severity of COPD and lung function in the general population with a stronger effect in COPD, calling for further research into interrelations and causality between SAF, smoking and COPD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects multiple organs and systems, including the pulmonary system. Pulmonary dysfunction in DM patients has been observed and studied for years, but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. In addition to traditional mechanisms such as the production and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), angiopathy, tissue glycation, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation, recent studies have focused on programmed cell deaths (PCDs), especially the non-apoptotic ones, in diabetic pulmonary dysfunction. Non-apoptotic PCDs (NAPCDs) including autophagic cell death, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and copper-induced cell death have been found to have certain correlations with diabetes and relevant complications. The AGE-AGE receptor (RAGE) axis not only plays an important role in the traditional pathogenesis of diabetes lung disease but also plays an important role in non-apoptotic cell death. In this review, we summarize novel studies about the roles of non-apoptotic PCDs in diabetic pulmonary dysfunction and focus on their interactions with the AGE-RAGE axis.

Impulse oscillometry indices in relation to respiratory symptoms and spirometry in the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study. ERJ Open Res 2023; 9:00736-2022.

Abstract
Background Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is sensitive in detecting lung function impairment. In small studies, impaired IOS relates better to respiratory symptoms than spirometry. We studied how IOS related to spirometry and respiratory symptoms in a large population of individuals (n=10 360) in a cross-sectional analysis. Methods Normal values for IOS and spirometry were defined in healthy, never-smoking individuals, aged 50-64 years, from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (n=3664 for IOS and 3608 for spirometry). For IOS, abnormal values for resistance at 5 Hz (R5) and at 20 Hz and area of reactance were defined using the 95th percentile. Abnormal reactance at 5 Hz for IOS and abnormal conventional spirometry indices (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced and slow vital capacity and their ratios) were defined using the 5th percentile. Results Abnormal IOS parameters were found in 16% of individuals and were associated with increased odds ratios for nearly all respiratory symptoms when adjusted for age, gender and smoking. In individuals with normal spirometry, abnormal IOS resistance was related to cough and dyspnoea, while abnormal reactance was related to wheeze. In these individuals, the combination of abnormal R5 with abnormal reactance resulted in approximately two-fold higher likelihood for having cough, chronic bronchitis and dyspnoea, even when further adjusting for FEV1, expressed as % predicted. Conclusions Abnormal IOS is related to increased respiratory burden in middle-aged individuals with normal spirometry, especially when resistance and reactance parameters are combined. The different relationships between respiratory symptoms and reactance and resistance warrant further research.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a slowly progressive and poorly reversible airway obstruction disease. It is caused either alone or in combination of emphysema, chronic bronchitis (CB), and small airways disease. COPD is thought to be a multi-factorial disorder in which genetic susceptibility, environmental factors and tobacco exposure could be doubly or simultaneously implicated. Available medicines against COPD include anti-inflammatory drugs, such as β2-agonists and anticholinergics, which efficiently reduce airflow limitation but are unable to avert disease progression and mortality. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptors i.e. receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are some molecules that have been implicated in the complication of COPD. Several RAGE single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) variants are produced by the mammalian cells. Based on the ethnicity some SNPs aggravate the COPD severity. Mammalian cells produce several alternative RAGE splice variants including a soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and an endogenous soluble RAGE (esRAGE). Both of these act as decoy receptor and thus may help to arrest the COPD complications. Several lines of evidences indicate a decreased level of sRAGE in the COPD subjects. One of the new strategies to reduce COPD complication may be sRAGE therapeutic administration to the COPD subjects. This comprehensive discussion sheds light on the role of RAGE and its polymorphic variants in the COPD complication along with sRAGE therapeutic significance in the COPD prevention.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) comprise a heterogeneous group of stable end-products of the non-enzymatic glycation reactions described by Maillard in 1912, in which reduced sugars irreparably modify proteins, lipids and DNA. This is a slow physiological process and accumulation of AGEs is part of normal ageing. Under conditions of hyperglycaemia and oxidative stress, a much faster and more substantial generation of AGEs is induced. The myriad of pathogenic signals AGEs can induce and the fact that enhanced AGE accumulation accompanies a broad spectrum of age-associated chronic inflammatory diseases [1] form the basis of the Maillard theory of ageing [2]. The relationship between SAF and FEV1, DLCO and X5, independent of COPD or diabetes. Will individuals with raised SAF and subclinical lung function alterations develop disease? What mechanisms underlie parenchymal alterations indicated by SAF?https://bit.ly/2YTtdkL
