Abstract
The substantial rise in metabolic illnesses that has occurred in both developed and developing countries over the last three decades has been linked to an increase in sugar-added foods and sweetened beverage intake. The significance of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases related to modern nutrition is an emerging issue. Spices and herbs can potentially be potent AGE production inhibitors due to their high polyphenol content. The inhibitory activity of an aqueous extract of Nigella sativa seeds (NS) on glucose- and fructose-mediated glycation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated. The glycation of proteins and its prevention using NS were assessed using spectrophotometry, spectrofluorometrics, and electrophoretic techniques. Additionally, the NBT assay, DNPH assay, Ellman assay, and thioflavin T assay were used to observe the biochemical alterations caused by glycated BSA. Molecular docking was employed to dock the BSA active site residues with inhibitors. Our data showed that NS protects against glucose- and fructose-mediated glycation and aggregation in vitro by inhibiting the formation of fructosamine, protein carbonyl content, free sulfhydryl groups, and fluorescent AGEs. Furthermore, NS also inhibited the production of β-cross-amyloid aggregates in proteins. It was interesting to note that the inhibition was found to be significantly higher in the Glu-BSA system, although the glycation product formed in the Fru-BSA system was higher compared to the Glu-induced protein system. It can be concluded that, by inhibiting AGE production, oxidation, and aggregation of the protein, NS may be an effective antiglycation drug for the prevention of diabetes complications.

Relationship between advanced glycation end-products and advanced oxidation protein products in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without albuminuria: A cross-sectional survey. Health Sci Rep 2024; 7:e70057. [PMID: 39355098 PMCID: PMC11439888 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.70057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 10/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Literature suggests that oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the progression of diabetes. Since poor glycemic control enhances the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in individuals with diabetes, exploring the association between glycation and oxidative states in diabetes could also shed light on potential consequences. This study evaluated the effects of albuminuria on AGEs and AOPP levels and measured their relationship in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without albuminuria. Methods A cross-sectional, matched case-control study was designed, including 38 T2D subjects with albuminuria and 38 matched T2D subjects with normoalbuminuria. Patients were matched by their body mass index (BMI), age, and duration of diabetes. The unadjusted and adjusted correlation between AGEs and AOPP in the studied groups were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Using ggplot2, the ties between these two biochemical factors in cases and controls were plotted. Results This study elucidated a significant association between AGEs and AOPP in participants with normoalbuminuria (r = 0.331, p-value < 0.05), which continued to be significant after controlling for BMI, age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r = 0.355, p-value < 0.05). However, there was no significant association between AGEs and AOPP in those with albuminuria in the unadjusted model (r = 0.034, p-value = 0.841) or after controlling for BMI, age, SBP, and DBP (r = 0.076, p-value = 0.685). Conclusion Oxidation and glycation molecular biomarkers were correlated in patients without albuminuria; however, this association was not observed in those with albuminuria.

Subcutaneous advanced glycation end products, cardiovascular risk factors and vascular health during childhood development in a Swiss population. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1371618. [PMID: 39100277 PMCID: PMC11294521 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1371618] [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: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Skin-derived advanced glycation end products (sAGEs) have been associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in adults. We hypothesize that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body mass index (BMI) and vascular health are associated with development of sAGEs during childhood. Methods In our prospective cohort study, 1171 children aged 6-8 years were screened for sAGEs, BMI, retinal arteriolar diameters (CRAE) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), using standardized procedures. To determine CRF a 20 m shuttle run was performed. After four 4 years, all parameters were assessed in 675 children using the same protocols. Results Higher initial CRF levels were significantly associated with lower sAGEs (β [95 CI] -0.02 [-0.03 to -0.002] au, p = 0.022) levels at follow-up, although they showed a greater change from baseline to follow-up (β [95 CI] 0.02 [0.002 to 0.03] au, p = 0.027). Moreover, individuals with higher sAGEs at baseline showed narrower CRAE (β [95% CI] -5.42 [-8.76 to -2.08] μm, p = 0.001) at follow-up and showed a greater change in CRAE (β [95% CI] -3.99 [-7.03 to -0.96] μm, p = 0.010) from baseline to follow-up. Conclusion Exercise and higher CRF may help mitigate the formation of AGEs during childhood, thereby reducing the risk for development of CV disease associated with AGEs-induced damage. Preventive strategies may need to target CRF early in life to achieve improvement of CV risk factors and may counteract the development of CV disease later in life.

Abstract
Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), with their prolonged half-life in the human body, are emerging as potent diagnostic indicators. Early intervention studies, focusing on AGE cross-link breakers, have shown encouraging results in heart failure patients, paving the way for disease progression monitoring and therapy effectiveness evaluation. AGEs are the byproducts of a non-enzymatic reaction where sugars interact with proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These compounds possess the power to alter numerous biological processes, ranging from disrupting molecular conformation and promoting cross-linking to modifying enzyme activity, reducing clearance, and impairing receptor recognition. The damage inflicted by AGEs through the stimulation of intracellular signaling pathways is associated with the onset of chronic diseases across various organ systems. This review consolidates the characteristics of AGEs and the challenges posed by their expression in diverse physiological and pathological states. Furthermore, it highlights the clinical relevance of AGEs and the latest research breakthroughs aimed at reducing AGE accumulation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in increasing the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy (DR). The oxidative balance score (OBS) and the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) are two tools for assessing the effects of diet and lifestyle on oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between OBS, CDAI and the occurrence of DR. After controlling for potential confounders, OBS was negatively associated with DR with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.976 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.956-0.996, suggesting that for every unit increase in OBS, the risk of DR was reduced by 2.4%. In contrast, the relationship between OBS and CDAI was not significant (P > 0.05), suggesting that it was OBS, not CDAI, that contributed to the reduced risk of diabetic retinopathy. After adjusting for potential confounders, OBS was negatively associated with DR (OR: 0.976; 95% CI 0.956-0.996), but this association was not found in CDAI (P > 0.05), suggesting that for every one-unit increase in OBS, there was a 2.4% reduction in the risk of developing DR. This study suggests that a diet and lifestyle high in OBS reduces the risk of developing DR, which provides a rationale for nutritional interventions to prevent DR.

Abstract
AIM Grip strength (GS) as a surrogate for muscular strength, waist circumference (WC) as a surrogate marker of visceral fat, and body mass index (BMI) as a surrogate marker of obesity should also be considered markers for the management of risks associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, in terms of the management of T2DM in elderly patients, the accentuated heterogeneity of sarcopenic change might modify the associations between those factors and glycemic control. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to clarify the impact of GS, WC, and BMI on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in elderly Japanese patients with T2DM. METHODS GS, WC, and BMI were measured in 327 patients. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for good glycemic control (HbA1c < 7.0%) were investigated to analyze the three variables as numerical values by dividing them into tertiles. All results were expressed after adjustment was made for the confounders of age, sex, and number of diabetes medications being used by the study participants. RESULTS The ORs of GS, WC, and BMI for well-controlled HbA1c were 1.056 (95% CI, 1.016-1.098), 0.986 (95% CI, 0.960-1.013), and 1.032 (95% CI, 0.959-1.111), respectively. The OR of 3.726 (95% CI, 1.831-7.581) in the high tertile for GS was significantly higher than the OR in the low tertile, and no differences were observed among the tertiles for WC and BMI. CONCLUSIONS Based on that result, GS was found to have more potential as an effective marker of glycemic control than WC or BMI among elderly Japanese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
This article examines the importance of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and summarizes the structure of AGEs, pathological changes associated with AGEs, the contribution of AGEs to metabolic memory, and the value of AGEs as a predictor of diabetic complications and cardiovascular disease in people with and without diabetes. As a practical focus, skin autofluorescence (SAF) is examined as an attractive approach for estimating AGE burden. The measurement of AGEs may be of significant value to specific individuals and groups, including Black and Hispanic/Latino Americans, as they appear to have higher concentrations of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) than would be predicted by other metrics of mean glycemia. We hypothesize that if the amount of glycation of HbA1c is greater than expected from measured glucose levels, and if AGEs are accumulating, then this accumulation of AGEs might account for the increased rate of complications of diabetes in populations with high rates of vascular disease and other complications. Thus, identifying and modifying the burden of AGEs based on measurement of AGEs by SAF may turn out to be a worthwhile metric to determine individuals who are at high risk for the complications of diabetes as well as others without diabetes at risk of vascular disease. We conclude that available evidence supports SAF as both a clinical measurement and as a means of evaluating interventions aimed at reducing the risks of vascular disease and diabetic complications.

Abstract
It is unclear if AGEs are involved in the bone fragility of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We evaluated whether skin AGEs by skin autofluorescence and serum AGEs (pentosidine, carboxymethyl-lysine [CML]) are independently associated with BMD by DXA (lumbar spine, hip, distal radius), trabecular bone score (TBS), serum bone turnover markers (BTMs: CTX; P1NP; osteocalcin), and sclerostin in participants with and without T1D. Linear regression models were used, with interaction terms to test effect modification by T1D status. In participants with T1D, correlations between skin and serum AGEs as well as between AGEs and 3-year HbA1C were evaluated using Spearman's correlations. Data are mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). We included individuals who participated in a cross-sectional study and had BMD and TBS assessment (106 T1D/65 controls, 53.2% women, age 43 ± 15 yr, BMI 26.6 ± 5.5 kg/m2). Participants with T1D had diabetes for 27.6 ± 12.3 yr, a mean 3-yr HbA1C of 7.5 ± 0.9% and skin AGEs of 2.15 ± 0.54 arbitrary units. A subgroup of 65 T1D/57 controls had BTMs and sclerostin measurements, and those with T1D also had serum pentosidine (16.8[8.2-32.0] ng/mL) and CML [48.0 ± 16.8] ng/mL) measured. Femoral neck BMD, TBS, and BTMs were lower, while sclerostin levels were similar in participants with T1D vs controls. T1D status did not modify the associations between AGEs and bone outcomes. Skin AGEs were significantly associated with total hip and femoral neck BMD, TBS, BTMs, and sclerostin before, but not after, adjustment for confounders. Serum AGEs were not associated with any bone outcome. There were no significant correlations between skin and serum AGEs or between AGEs and 3-yr HbA1C. In conclusion, skin and serum AGEs are not independently associated with BMD, TBS, BTMs, and sclerostin in participants with relatively well-controlled T1D and participants without diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Carnosine, a naturally occurring dipeptide, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-glycating effects, with preliminary evidence suggesting it may improve important chronic disease risk factors in adults with cardiometabolic conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS In this randomised controlled trial, 43 adults (30%F) living with prediabetes or T2DM consumed carnosine (2 g) or a matching placebo daily for 14 weeks to evaluate its effect on glucose metabolism assessed via a 2-h 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Secondary outcomes included body composition analysis by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), calf muscle density by pQCT, and anthropometry. Carnosine supplementation decreased blood glucose at 90 min (-1.31 mmol/L; p = 0.02) and 120 min (-1.60 mmol/L, p = 0.02) and total glucose area under the curve (-3.30 mmol/L; p = 0.04) following an oral glucose tolerance test. There were no additional changes in secondary outcomes. The carnosine group results remained significant before and after adjustment for age, sex, and change in weight (all>0.05), and in further sensitivity analyses accounting for missing data. There were no significant changes in insulin levels. CONCLUSION This study provides preliminary support for larger trials evaluating carnosine as a potential treatment for prediabetes and the initial stages of T2DM. Likely mechanisms may include changes to hepatic glucose output explaining the observed reduction in blood glucose without changes in insulin secretion following carnosine supplementation.

A Novel Approach: Investigating the Intracellular Clearance Mechanism of Glyceraldehyde-Derived Advanced Glycation End-Products Using the Artificial Checkpoint Kinase 1 d270KD Mutant as a Substrate Model. Cells 2023; 12:2838. [PMID: 38132156 PMCID: PMC10741459 DOI: 10.3390/cells12242838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), formed through glyceraldehyde (GA) as an intermediate in non-enzymatic reactions with intracellular proteins, are cytotoxic and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Despite their significance, the mechanisms underlying the degradation of GA-derived AGEs (GA-AGEs) remain unclear. In the present study, we found that N-terminal checkpoint kinase 1 cleavage products (CHK1-CPs) and their mimic protein, d270WT, were degraded intracellularly post-GA exposure. Notably, a kinase-dead d270WT variant (d270KD) underwent rapid GA-induced degradation, primarily via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The high-molecular-weight complexes formed by the GA stimulation of d270KD were abundant in the RIPA-insoluble fraction, which also contained high levels of GA-AGEs. Immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that the high-molecular-weight complexes of d270KD were modified by GA-AGEs and that p62/SQSTM1 was one of its components. The knockdown of p62 or treatment with chloroquine reduced the amount of high-molecular-weight complexes in the RIPA-insoluble fraction, indicating its involvement in the formation of GA-AGE aggregates. The present results suggest that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and p62 play a role in the degradation and aggregation of intracellular GA-AGEs. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying GA-AGE metabolism and may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with the accumulation of GA-AGEs.

[PMID: 37971629 PMCID: PMC10654330 DOI: 10.1186/s43141-023-00588-5] [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: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The specificity of protein functions depends on its folding ability into a functional structure. Protein folding is an essential systemic phenomenon that prevents incorrect folding which could result in harmful aggregation. This harmful aggregation of proteins causes neurodegenerative diseases and systemic amyloidosis. Experimental and theoretical approaches were used in this study to explicate the probable mechanisms of action of quercetin in inhibition of glucose-induced glycation through estimations of percentage glycated protein, inhibited induced protein aggregation, and unoxidized bovine serum albumin thiol groups and assessments of molecular interactions of quercetin with the structures of bovine serum albumin, amyloid beta-peptide (1-42) and 3D amyloid-beta (1-42) fibrils retrieved from the protein databank ( http://www.rcsb.org ). RESULTS The results showed quercetin inhibited the formation of glycated protein, protein aggregation, and thiol oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner where 200 μg/ml showed the highest inhibition while 50 μg/ml depicted the least inhibition in all the studied assessments. From the docking analysis, it was observed that quercetin had a significantly higher binding affinities - 8.67 ± 0.09 kcal/mol, - 5.37 ± 0.05 kcal/mol and - 5.93 ± 0.13 kcal/mol for the bovine serum albumin, amyloid beta-peptide (1-42) and 3D amyloid-beta (1-42) fibrils respectively compared to the glucose, the inducer. Quercetin and glucose interacted with amino acid residues at the BSA subdomain IIA thus providing a clue that quercetin may impose its inhibition through the binding domain. Also, it is important to mention that the phytochemicals shared a similar interaction profile as that of glucose with the amyloid-beta. CONCLUSIONS These findings established the beneficial effects of quercetin as a potential agent that could alleviate hyperglycaemic-initiated disorders associated with elevated serum glucose levels.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing problem nowadays, and diabetic retinopathy (DR) is its predominant complication. Currently, DR diagnosis primarily relies on fundoscopic examination; however, novel biomarkers may facilitate that process and make it widely available. In this current review, we delve into the intricate roles of various factors and mechanisms in DR development, progression, prediction, and their association with therapeutic approaches linked to the underlying pathogenic pathways. Specifically, we focus on advanced glycation end products, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), asymmetric dimethylarginine, endothelin-1, and the epigenetic regulation mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) in the context of DR.

Abstract
Background The advanced glycation end product (AGE) is produced from the nonenzymatic reaction between glucose and macromolecules by aging. Accumulation of AGE causes functional and structural changes in body proteins that lead to impairment of tissue protein functions. We aimed to validate AGE measurement by skin autofluorescence (SAF) in diabetes mellitus (DM) compared to the nondiabetes population. Materials and Methods We searched the PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases from their inception till September 18, 2022, for casecontrol studies measuring AGE by SAF. Nonhuman studies, as well as review articles, study proposals, editorials, case reports, or congress posters, were excluded. We used a random effects model to assess the standard mean difference (MD) of age, body mass index (BMI), HbA1c, and SAF between diabetes and nondiabetes individuals. Results Higher SAF in DM patients indicated more accumulation of AGE compared with the nondiabetic population. Furthermore, HbA1c was considerably higher in DM patients. The MD of age, male gender, and BMI were significantly different between the DM individuals, compared with nondiabetic subjects, which can lead to altered SAF level and AGE production. There was a remarkable heterogeneity between diabetes and nondiabetes when measuring age, gender, and BMI, as well as HbA1c and SAF level. Conclusion This study could not confirm the validity of SAF as a surrogate marker in diabetes patients. Interestingly, metabolic load and high BMI can increase SAF, considerably. Altogether, SAF could be helpful in the future as a marker for metabolic syndrome or diabetes.

Dietary advanced glycation end-products and postmenopausal hot flashes: A post-hoc analysis of a 12-week randomized clinical trial. Maturitas 2023; 172:32-38. [PMID: 37084590 DOI: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2023.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/28/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postmenopausal hot flashes are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Because dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) may act as endocrine disruptors, this study examined the potential association of modifications to the intake of dietary AGEs with the frequency and severity of postmenopausal hot flashes. METHODS Postmenopausal women (n = 84) reporting ≥2 moderate-to-severe hot flashes daily were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The former were asked to follow a low-fat, vegan diet, including cooked soybeans (1/2 cup [86 g]/day) for 12 weeks, and the latter continued their usual diets for 12 weeks. Frequency and severity of hot flashes were recorded with a mobile application. Three-day diet records were analyzed using the Nutrition Data System for Research software and dietary AGEs were estimated, using a database. Seventy-one participants completed the whole study and 63 provided complete hot flash and dietary data for the AGEs analysis (n = 31 in the intervention and n = 24 in the control group). Pearson correlations were used to assess the association between changes in hot flashes and dietary AGEs. RESULTS Dietary AGEs decreased in the intervention group by 73 %, that is by 5509 ku/day on average (95 % -7009 to -4009; p < 0.001), compared with the control group (+458; 95 % CI -835 to +1751; p = 0.47; treatment effect -5968 ku/day [95 % CI -7945 to -3991]; Gxt, p < 0.001). Severe hot flashes decreased by 92 % (p < 0.001) and moderate-to-severe hot flashes decreased by 88 % in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Changes in dietary AGEs correlated with changes in severe (r = +0.39; p = 0.002) and moderate hot flashes (r = +0.34; p = 0.009) and remained significant after adjustment for changes in energy intake (r = +0.45; p < 0.001; and r = +0.37; p = 0.004, respectively) and changes in body mass index (r = +0.37; p = 0.004; and r = +0.27; p = 0.04, respectively). The reduction in dietary AGEs required to achieve a predicted reduction in hot flashes by 1/day was 6933 ku/day for severe and 4366 ku/day for moderate-to-severe hot flashes. CONCLUSIONS The reduction in dietary AGEs with a low-fat plant-based diet was associated with a significant reduction in the frequency of severe and moderate-to-severe postmenopausal hot flashes, independent of changes in energy intake and weight loss. Plant-based diets could be used not only to alleviate vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women, but also to reduce other health risks associated with AGEs.

The Patient's Physiological Status at the Start Determines the Success of the Inpatient Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12051735.

Abstract
Multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation plays an important role in the recovery of patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Lifestyle changes, achieved by exercise, diet, weight loss and patient education programs, are the first steps to a healthier life. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE) are known to be involved in CVDs. Clarification on whether initial AGE levels can influence the rehabilitation outcome is important. Serum samples were collected at the beginning and end of the inpatient rehabilitation stay and analyzed for parameters: lipid metabolism, glucose status, oxidative stress, inflammation and AGE/RAGE-axis. As result, a 5% increase in the soluble isoform RAGE (sRAGE) (T0: 891.82 ± 44.97 pg/mL, T1: 937.17 ± 43.29 pg/mL) accompanied by a 7% decrease in AGEs (T0: 10.93 ± 0.65 µg/mL, T1: 10.21 ± 0.61 µg/mL) was shown. Depending on the initial AGE level, a significant reduction of 12.2% of the AGE activity (quotient AGE/sRAGE) was observed. We found that almost all measured factors improved. Summarizing, CVD-specific multidisciplinary rehabilitation positively influences disease-associated parameters, and thus provides an optimal starting point for subsequent disease-modifying lifestyle changes. Considering our observations, the initial physiological situations of patients at the beginning of their rehabilitation stay seem to play a decisive role regarding the assessment of rehabilitation success.

Association of Autofluorescent Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) with Frailty Components in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Data from a Single-Center Cohort Study. Cells 2023; 12:cells12030438.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an overproduction and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Because AGEs may play a role in the development of malnutrition and sarcopenia, two essential components of frailty, we evaluated whether they may also contribute to the onset of frailty in CKD patients. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 117 patients. AGEs were quantified using a fluorescence spectrophotometer and soluble receptor for AGE (sRAGE) isoforms by ELISA. We defined frailty according to the frailty phenotype (FP) proposed by Fried. RESULTS The average age of patients was 80 ± 11 years, 70% were male, and the mean eGFR was 25 + 11 mL/min/1.73m2. Frailty was diagnosed in 51 patients, and 40 patients were classified as pre-frail. AGEs and RAGE isoforms seem not to correlate with overall frailty. Instead, AGEs were associated with specific frailty domains, inversely associated with BMI (R = -0.22, p = 0.016) and directly associated with gait test time (R = 0.17, p = 0.049). AGEs were also associated with involuntary weight loss (OR 1.84 p = 0.027), independent of age and sex. CONCLUSIONS AGEs are associated with some pivotal components of the frailty phenotype, although they are not associated with frailty overall.

Abstract
Emerging evidence has implicated the important role of fibrosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), while the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Considering the distinct and overlapping roles of Cluster of Differentiation 147 (CD147) in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases, we aim to investigate the role of CD147 in the fibrosis of DCM and explore its underlying mechanism. AAV9-mediated cardiac-specific CD147 silencing attenuated cardiac fibrosis and cardiac function in diabetic mice. CD147 knockdown significantly inhibited high glucose (HG)-induced activation of CFs. Mechanistically, CD147 directly bound to type I transcription growth factor β (TGF-β) receptor I (ALK5), promoting ALK5 activation and endocytosis to induce SMAD2/3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. In addition, HG prevented the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation of CD147 by promoting GNT-V-mediated N-glycosylation. As a result, cardiac-specific CD147 overexpression in control mice mimicked diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis, aggravating cardiac function. Importantly, CD147 was also upregulated in serum and myocardial specimens from patients with diabetes compared with non-diabetes, accompanied by echocardiographic indices of cardiac dysfunction and excessive collagen deposition. Our study provides the first evidence that CD147 acts as a pivotal factor to promote diabetic cardiac fibrosis, and may contribute to the development of future CD147-based therapeutic strategies for DCM.

Abstract
Background Fluorescent advanced glycation end products (fAGEs) are generated through the Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and amino compounds. fAGEs accumulation in human bodies have been confirmed to be related to many chronic diseases. To date, the correlations between serum fAGEs levels and clinical parameters or carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in patients with T2DM remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum AGEs levels and clinical parameters or CIMT in patients with T2DM. Method A total of 131 patients with diabetes and 30 healthy controls were enrolled. Patients were divided into three groups according to diabetes duration, including ≤5, 5-10, and ≥10 years. Serum fAGEs, protein oxidation products, clinical parameters, and CIMT were determined. Results The result showed that levels of fAGEs and protein oxidation products increased with the increasing duration of diabetics. Pearson correlation coefficients of fAGEs versus hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were >0.5 in patients with diabetes duration ≥10 years. A continued increase in fAGEs might cause the increase of HbA1c, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) and CIMT in patients with T2DM. Conclusion Our study suggested that levels of fAGEs could be considered as an indicator for duration of diabetics and carotid atherosclerosis. Diabetes duration and smoking might have a synergistic effect on the increment of fAGEs levels, as evidence by the results of correlation analysis in patients with long-duration diabetics (≥10 years) and smoking. The determination of fAGEs might be helpful to advance our knowledge on the overall risk of complications in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance or failure to produce insulin. Patients with DM develop microvascular complications that include chronic kidney disease and retinopathy, and macrovascular complications that mainly consist in an accelerated and more severe atherosclerosis compared to the general population, increasing the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, such as stroke or myocardial infarction by 2- to 4-fold. DM is commonly associated with a low-grade chronic inflammation that is a known causal factor in its development and its complications. Moreover, it is now well-established that inflammation and immune cells play a major role in both atherosclerosis genesis and progression, as well as in CV event occurrence. In this review, after a brief presentation of DM physiopathology and its macrovascular complications, we will describe the immune system dysregulation present in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and discuss its role in DM cardiovascular complications development. More specifically, we will review the metabolic changes and aberrant activation that occur in the immune cells driving the chronic inflammation through cytokine and chemokine secretion, thus promoting atherosclerosis onset and progression in a DM context. Finally, we will discuss how genetics and recent systemic approaches bring new insights into the mechanisms behind these inflammatory dysregulations and pave the way toward precision medicine.

Advanced Glycation End Products Are Associated with Diabetes Status and Physical Functions in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153032. [PMID: 35893886 PMCID: PMC9330730 DOI: 10.3390/nu14153032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Advanced glycated end products (AGEs) accumulate systemically and cause diabetes complications. However, whether noninvasive measurable AGEs are associated with diabetes status and physical functions remains unclear. One hundred and ten patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) who underwent outpatient cardiac rehabilitation were included. AGEs scores, using AGEs sensors, were evaluated concomitantly with a physical evaluation, including testing the isometric knee extension strength (IKES) and 6 min walking distance (6MWD). Thirty-three (30%) patients had a history of diabetes mellitus (DM). The AGEs score was not different in the presence of DM history (0.52 ± 0.09 vs. 0.51 ± 0.09, p = 0.768) and was not correlated with blood glucose (r = 0.001, p = 0.995). The AGEs score was positively correlated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, r = 0.288, p = 0.004) and negatively correlated with physical functions (IKES, r = −0.243, p = 0.011; 6MWD, r = −0.298, p = 0.002). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that 6MWD was independently associated with a high AGEs score (>0.52). The AGEs score was associated with HbA1c, IKES, and 6MWD in patients with CVD. The AGEs score might be a useful indicator for evaluating not only glycemic control but also physical functions.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes are increasing worldwide, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The assessment and stratification of cardiovascular risk in subjects with T2D is a challenge. Advanced glycation end products are heterogeneous molecules produced by non-enzymatic glycation of proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. Accumulation of advanced glycation end products is increased in subjects with T2D and is considered to be one of the major pathogenic mechanism in developing complications in diabetes. Skin AGEs could be assessed by skin autofluorescence. This method has been validated and related to the presence of micro and macroangiopathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes. In this context, the aim of this review is to critically summarize current knowledge and scientific evidence on the relationship between skin AGEs and CVD in subjects with type 2 diabetes, with a brief reference to other diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Glycation process refers to reactions between reduction sugars and amino acids that can lead to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which are related to changes in chemical and functional properties of biological structures that accumulate during aging and diseases. The aim of this study was to perform and analyze in vitro glycation by fructose and methylglyoxal (MGO) using salivary fluid, albumin, lysozyme, and salivary α-amylase (sAA). Glycation effect was analyzed by biochemical and spectroscopic methods. The results were obtained by fluorescence analysis, infrared spectroscopy (total attenuated reflection-Fourier transform, ATR-FTIR) followed by multivariate analysis of principal components (PCA), protein profile, immunodetection, enzymatic activity and oxidative damage to proteins. Fluorescence increased in all glycated samples, except in saliva with fructose. The ATR-FTIR spectra and PCA analysis showed structural changes related to the vibrational mode of glycation of albumin, lysozyme, and salivary proteins. Glycation increased the relative molecular mass (Mr) in protein profile of albumin and lysozyme. Saliva showed a decrease in band intensity when glycated. The analysis of sAA immunoblotting indicated a relative reduction in intensity of its correspondent Mr after sAA glycation; and a decrease in its enzymatic activity was observed. Carbonylation levels increased in all glycated samples, except for saliva with fructose. Thiol content decreased only for glycated lysozyme and saliva with MGO. Therefore, glycation of salivary fluid and sAA may have the potential to identify products derived by glycation process. This opens perspectives for further studies on the use of saliva, an easy and non-invasive collection fluid, to monitor glycated proteins in the aging process and evolution of diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the effects of early progeny exposure to methylglyoxal (MG), programming for metabolic dysfunction and diabetes-like complications later in life. At delivery (PN1), the animals were separated into two groups: control group (CO), treated with saline, and MG group, treated with MG (20 mg/kg of BW; i.p.) during the first 2 weeks of the lactation period. In vivo experiments and tissue collection were done at PN90. Early MG exposure decreased body weight, adipose tissue, liver and kidney weight at adulthood. On the other hand, MG group showed increased relative food intake, blood fructosamine, blood insulin and HOMA-IR, which is correlated with insulin resistance. Besides, MG-treated animals presented dyslipidaemia, increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Likewise, MG group showed steatosis and perivascular fibrosis in the liver, pancreatic islet hypertrophy, increased glomerular area and pericapsular fibrosis, but reduced capsular space. This study shows that early postnatal exposure to MG induces oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis markers in pancreas, liver and kidney, which are related to metabolic dysfunction features. Thus, nutritional disruptors during lactation period may be an important risk factor for metabolic alterations at adulthood.

Abstract
Profiling of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is an emerging area of clinical significance for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Typically, concentrations of AGEs are estimated in laboratories by trained personnel using sophisticated equipment. Herein, a facile approach for colorimetric and fluorometric profiling of AGEs is reported for rapid and on-site analysis. The concentrations of AGE levels in plasma are estimated via changes in optical properties of polythiophenes (PTs) upon interaction with aptamers (Apts) in the presence and in the absence of AGEs. To validate the proposed approach, glyceraldehyde-derived AGEs (AGE class 1 [AGE1]), the biomarker associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, are used as a model system. Colorimetric analysis yielded linear responses for AGE1 for clinically relevant concentration ranges between 1.5 and 300 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of ∼1.3 μg/mL. Subsequently, an approach utilizing PTs with four different pendant groups in conjunction with four different Apts is demonstrated for qualitative colorimetric profiling and for quantitative fluorometric profiling of up to four AGEs in clinical matrices. Principal component analysis (PCA) of fluorometric responses of AGE-spiked samples yielded distinct responses for the different AGEs tested. Thus, the proposed approach ascertains rapid profiling of spiked AGEs in plasma samples without the requirement of preanalytical processing and advanced instrumentation, thereby facilitating on-site diagnosis.

EClinicalMedicine 2021; 42:101194. [PMID: 34841236 PMCID: PMC8605318 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2021.101194] [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] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGE), one of the main factors causing diabetic end-organ damage, accumulate in long half-life proteins, such as skin and cartilage collagen. AGE measurement may offer additional evidence to predict diabetic vascular complications. Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is suggested as a non-invasive, quick, and reliable method to measure tissue AGE level. The aim of this study was to review and evaluate evidence on the clinical validation of SAF measurement in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched "PubMed" (MEDLINE) and "Cochrane" databases from their inception to 10 August 2021 for observational studies concerning SAF measurement in diabetic patients. The following key terms were used in advanced searching: "Diabetes", "Diabetes Mellitus"," DM", "Glycation ", "Advanced Glycation End product", "AGE", "skin autofluorescence", "SAF". Published studies that included DM patients and estimated their AGE using SAF were considered eligible for meta-analysis. Articles that were editorials, study proposals, congress posters, or case reports and were not on human subjects were excluded. We used a random-effect models for meta-analyzing the clinical validation of SAF in DM with particular emphasis on chronic diabetes complications. FINDINGS We identified 881 records and twenty-nine records fulfilled our eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. A statistically significant correlation was found between SAF and diabetes last HbA1c 0.21(0.13,0.28) in studies with substantial heterogeneity (I2=77.99%, p<0.05). Nevertheless, a significant positive association between SAF level and diabetic retinopathy (DR) [(OR= 1.05, 95% CI=1.03,1.08), (I2=63.78%, p<0.05)], diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) [(OR= 1.11, 95%CI= 1.06,1.16), (I2=79.17%, p<0.05)], diabetic nephropathy (DNP) [(OR= 1.08, 95%CI: 1.05,1.11), (I 2 =65.36%, p<0.05)] and diabetic macrovascular events (D-MVE) [(OR=1.08, 95%CI=1.05,1.11) (I2=67.32, p<0.05)] were found. INTERPRETATION Our study confirmed the significance of SAF measurement as a non-invasive surrogate marker of DM micro and macrovascular complications. Skin AGE estimation may be a useful factor for the prediction and early detection of irreversible DM complications. More studies with larger populations and longer follow-up periods are required.

Abstract
Background Therapy with mesenchymal stem cells remains a promising but challenging approach to critical limb ischemia in diabetes because of the dismal cell survival. Methods and Results Critical limb ischemia in type 2 diabetes mouse model was used to explore the impact of diabetic limb ischemia on the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (bMSCs). Inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species was achieved with concomitant overexpression of superoxide dismutase (SOD)‐1 and glutathione peroxidase‐1 in the transplanted bMSCs, and extracellular reactive oxygen species was attenuated using SOD‐3 overexpression and N‐acetylcysteine treatment. In vivo optical fluorescence imaging and laser Doppler perfusion imaging were used to track cell retention and determine blood flow in diabetic ischemic limb, respectively. Survival of the transplanted bMSCs was significantly decreased in diabetic ischemic limb compared with the control. In vitro study indicated that advanced glycation end products, not high glucose, significantly decreased the proliferation of bMSCs and increased their apoptosis associated with increased reactive oxygen species production and selective reduction of SOD‐1 and SOD‐3. In vivo study demonstrated that concomitant overexpression of SOD‐1, SOD‐3, and glutathione peroxidase‐1, or host treatment with N‐acetylcysteine, significantly enhanced in vivo survival of transplanted bMSCs, and improved critical limb ischemia in diabetic mice. Combination of triple antioxidant enzyme overexpression in bMSCs with host N‐acetylcysteine treatment further improved bMSC survival with enhanced circulatory and functional recovery from diabetic critical limb ischemia. Conclusions Simultaneous suppression of reactive oxygen species from transplanted bMSCs and host tissue could additively enhance bMSC survival in diabetic ischemic limb with increased therapeutic efficacy in diabetes.

Abstract
Autofluorescence of blood has been explored as a label free approach for detection of cell types, as well as for diagnosis and detection of infection, cancer, and other diseases. Although blood autofluorescence is used to indicate the presence of several physiological abnormalities with high sensitivity, it often lacks disease specificity due to use of a limited number of fluorophores in the detection of several abnormal conditions. In addition, the measurement of autofluorescence is sensitive to the type of sample, sample preparation, and spectroscopy method used for the measurement. Therefore, while current blood autofluorescence detection approaches may not be suitable for primary clinical diagnosis, it certainly has tremendous potential in developing methods for large scale screening that can identify high risk groups for further diagnosis using highly specific diagnostic tests. This review discusses the source of blood autofluorescence, the role of spectroscopy methods, and various applications that have used autofluorescence of blood, to explore the potential of blood autofluorescence in biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is key in the pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) - a common progressive liver disease. The soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) attenuates inflammatory signaling; low levels of sRAGE are correlated with increased inflammation. AIM We sought to describe associations between sRAGE and NAFLD. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 1088 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants and used logistic regression to investigate the associations between sRAGE and NAFLD defined by elevated liver enzymes and fibrosis score. RESULTS In this community-based sample (n = 1,088, mean age 56 years, 61% female, 78% Caucasian), persons in the lowest vs. highest quartile of sRAGE had significantly higher odds of elevated ALT (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.18-6.76) but not elevated AST (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.45-2.99); persons in the lowest vs. highest quartile had significantly lower odds of elevated FIB-4 index (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.84). CONCLUSIONS We found an inverse cross-sectional association between sRAGE and liver inflammation; this is consistent with prior studies linking low sRAGE to inflammatory states. However, we observed a direct association between sRAGE and fibrosis. Our findings suggest that sRAGE is dynamic in NAFLD and patterns may vary with different stages of disease.

Abstract
Background Mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), one of the main downstream components of the necroptosis or programmed necrosis has recently been demonstrated in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. However, its precise role in the atherosclerosis pathogenesis still requires more elucidation. Our study was set to delineate both the changes in peripheral MLKL gene expression and its influence on disease severity in atherosclerotic patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The study involved 50 patients (20 non-diabetics and 30 diabetics) undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and 20 apparently healthy controls. Taqman RT-PCR was used to quantify MLKL mRNA expression levels, while ELISA was employed to estimate serum insulin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels. Results Compared with the control group, MLKL gene was up regulated significantly in cardiovascular diseases (CVD; p ≤ 0.001). Higher MLKL expression was demonstrated in diabetic CVD group than non-diabetic group (p < 0.05). Correlation studies reported positive associations between MLKL and markers of dyslipidemia, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Multiple regression analysis revealed that FBG levels, hsCRP levels, and total white blood cells count were significant predictors for MLKL levels. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed a significant diagnostic value of MLKL for CVD. Moreover, regression analysis demonstrated that MLKL and hsCRP were independent predicting factors for the severity of CVD. Conclusion MLKL is linked to hallmarks of atherosclerosis and could explain increased cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. Thus, it can be a potential drug target for treatment of atherosclerotic patients.

Abstract
Glycation is a non-enzymatic process involving the reaction of reducing sugars or reactive oxoaldehyde with proteins, lipids or nucleic acids, which results in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The presented work discusses the glycation process in people with advanced stage of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The concentration of different AGEs and their receptors for 58 serum samples was determined by ELISA and by spectrofluorimetric methods. In addition to fluorescent low molecular weight and protein-bound AGEs, we have also marked a new class of AGEs: melibiose-derived glycation product (MAGE). Our attention was also focused on the two groups of AGEs receptors: scavenger receptors (SR-A and SR-B) and RAGE. The correlation between the SR-AI scavenging receptors concentration and the fluorescence of AGEs as well as diabetes biological markers: GFR, creatinine contentration and HbA1c was demonstrated. A relationship between the concentration of AGEs and their receptors was also found in serum sample of patients treated with the metformin and aspirin. Furthermore, the concentration of SR-AI scavenger and the fluorescence of total AGEs was significantly lower in treated patients than in non treated patients. AGEs have also been found to contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis and diabetic complications, what could be deduced from the correlation of AGEs level and HDL cholesterol or uric acid level. Thus, it was confirmed that AGEs are involved in the pathomechanism of diabetes and other degenerative diseases. Nowadays, it is believed that AGEs due to the long time remaining in the body may be an important diagnostic marker. Their determination may allow monitoring the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of the therapy.

[PMID: 32962281 PMCID: PMC7555602 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21186902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress (OxS) is the cause and the consequence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the incidence and economic burden of which is increasing each year. OxS triggers the dysregulation of signaling pathways associated with metabolism and epigenetics, including microRNAs, which are biomarkers of metabolic disorders. In this review, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding the interplay between microRNAs and OxS in MetS and its components. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar to summarize the most relevant studies. Collected data suggested that different sources of OxS (e.g., hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), hyperlipidemia, obesity, proinflammatory cytokines) change the expression of numerous microRNAs in organs involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism and endothelium. Dysregulated microRNAs either directly or indirectly affect the expression and/or activity of molecules of antioxidative signaling pathways (SIRT1, FOXOs, Keap1/Nrf2) along with effector enzymes (e.g., GPx-1, SOD1/2, HO-1), ROS producers (e.g., NOX4/5), as well as genes of numerous signaling pathways connected with inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism, thus promoting the progression of metabolic imbalance. MicroRNAs appear to be important epigenetic modifiers in managing the delicate redox balance, mediating either pro- or antioxidant biological impacts. Summarizing, microRNAs may be promising therapeutic targets in ameliorating the repercussions of OxS in MetS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This was a prospective cross-sectional study. One-hundred and four consecutive patients with DM2 were given lateral lumbar X-rays in order to quantify abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). Circulating levels of AGEs and classical cardiovascular risk factors were determined. Clinical history was also registered. Patients with higher AGEs values had higher grades of aortic calcification and higher numbers of diabetic-related complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being older, male and having high levels of AGEs and triglycerides were the independent risk factors associated to moderate-severe AAC when compared to no-mild AAC. Our results suggest that AGEs plays a role in the pathogenesis of aortic calcifications. In addition, the measurement of AGEs levels may be useful for assessing the severity of AAC in the setting of diabetic complications.

Association of physical fitness with skin autofluorescence-derived advanced glycation end products in children. Pediatr Res 2020; 87:1106-1111. [PMID: 31791044 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-019-0694-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2019] [Revised: 11/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate with age and development of cardiovascular disease. Higher AGEs have been shown in children with diabetes but little is known about their association with lifestyle conditions in childhood. We hypothesized that BMI, blood pressure and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with subcutaneous AGEs formation in children. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 1075 children (aged 7.2 ± 0.4 years) were screened for subcutaneous AGEs (skin autofluorescence; SAF), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and CRF using standardized procedures. Group comparisons were performed in clinical BP and BMI categories and tertiles of CRF. RESULTS Children with higher physical fitness showed lower SAF (0.99(1.03;1.10)au) compared to children with low CRF (1.09(1.03;1.05)au, p < 0.001). An increase of one shuttle run stage was associated with a mean reduction in SAF of -0.033(CI: -0.042;-0.024)au, independent of BMI and BP (p < 0.001). BMI and BP were not independently associated with SAF-derived AGEs in this large cohort of primary school children. CONCLUSIONS Low physical fitness but not BMI and BP were associated with higher levels of AGEs. Primary prevention programs in young children may need to focus on improving physical fitness in game settings in order to reduce the growing prevalence of metabolic disorders during childhood.

Abstract
Diets are currently characterized by elevated sugar intake, mainly due to the increased consumption of processed sweetened foods and drinks during the last 40 years. Diet is the main source of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These are toxic compounds formed during the Maillard reaction, which takes place both in vivo, in tissues and fluids under physiological conditions, favored by sugar intake, and ex vivo during food preparation such as baking, cooking, frying or storage. Protein glycation occurs slowly and continuously through life, driving AGE accumulation in tissues during aging. For this reason, AGEs have been proposed as a risk factor in the pathogenesis of diet-related diseases such as diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, kidney injury, and age-related and neurodegenerative diseases. AGEs are associated with an increase in oxidative stress since they mediate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing the intracellular levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide (O2−), and nitric oxide (NO). The interaction of AGEs with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) enhances oxidative stress through ROS production by NADPH oxidases inside the mitochondria. This affects mitochondrial function and ultimately influences cell metabolism under various pathological conditions. This short review will summarize all evidence that relates AGEs and ROS production, their relationship with diet-related diseases, as well as the latest research about the use of natural compounds with antioxidant properties to prevent the harmful effects of AGEs on health.

The Relationship between the Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products and Oxidative Stress in Patients with Palmoplantar Warts. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55100706. [PMID: 31635193 PMCID: PMC6843152 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55100706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Revised: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 10/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Warts are the most common lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Recent research suggests that oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of HPV-related lesions. It has been shown that the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) may act as a protective factor against the deleterious effects of inflammation and oxidative stress, two interconnected processes. However, in HPV infection, the role of sRAGE, constitutively expressed in the skin, has not been investigated in previous studies. Materials and Methods: In order to analyze the role of sRAGE in warts, we investigated the link between sRAGE and the inflammatory response on one hand, and the relationship between sRAGE and the total oxidant/antioxidant status (TOS/TAS) on the other hand, in both patients with palmoplantar warts (n = 24) and healthy subjects as controls (n = 28). Results: Compared to the control group, our results showed that patients with warts had lower levels of sRAGE (1036.50 ± 207.60 pg/mL vs. 1215.32 ± 266.12 pg/mL, p < 0.05), higher serum levels of TOS (3.17 ± 0.27 vs. 2.93 ± 0.22 µmol H2O2 Eq/L, p < 0.01), lower serum levels of TAS (1.85 ± 0.12 vs. 2.03 ± 0.14 µmol Trolox Eq/L, p < 0.01) and minor variations of the inflammation parameters (high sensitivity-CRP, interleukin-6, fibrinogen, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Moreover, in patients with warts, sRAGE positively correlated with TAS (r = 0.43, p < 0.05), negatively correlated with TOS (r = −0.90, p < 0.01), and there was no significant correlation with inflammation parameters. There were no significant differences regarding the studied parameters between groups when we stratified the patients according to the number of the lesions and disease duration. Conclusions: Our results suggest that sRAGE acts as a negative regulator of oxidative stress and could represent a mediator involved in the development of warts. However, we consider that the level of sRAGE cannot be used as a biomarker for the severity of warts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that sRAGE could be involved in HPV pathogenesis and represent a marker of oxidative stress in patients with warts.

Abstract
Background Identifying frail elderly subjects is of paramount importance in order to conduct a tailored care. The characterization of frailty status is currently based on the collection of clinical data and on the use of various tools such as Fried's criteria, which constitutes a difficult and time-consuming process. Up to now, no biological markers have been described as reliable tools for frailty characterization. We tested the hypothesis that a link between frailty and protein molecular aging existed. This study aimed therefore at determining whether post-translational modification derived products (PTMDPs), recognized as biomarkers of protein aging, were associated with frailty status in elderly subjects. Methods Frailty status was determined according to Fried's criteria in 250 elderly patients (>65 years old) hospitalized in a short-term care unit. Serum concentrations of protein-bound PTMDPs, including carboxymethyllysine (CML), pentosidine, methylglyoxal-hydroimidazolone-1 and homocitrulline (HCit), were determined by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, and tissue content of advanced glycation end-products was assessed by skin autofluorescence (SAF) measurement. Associations between PTMDPs and frailty status were analyzed using logistic regression models. Results Frail patients had significantly (p<0.01) higher CML, HCit, and SAF values compared to non-frail and pre-frail subjects. By multivariate analysis, only HCit concentrations and SAF values remained associated with frailty status (p=0.016 and p=0.002, respectively), independently of age, comorbidities, renal function, C-reactive protein and albumin concentrations. Conclusions HCit and SAF are significantly associated with frailty status in elderly subjects. This study suggests that PTMDPs constitute promising biomarkers for identifying frail patients and guiding personalized patient care.

Abstract
A large proportion of adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) develops kidney disease and is at a high risk of mortality. The contribution of advanced glycation end products and their receptor (AGE/RAGE) axis has been established in the pathogenesis of multiple kidney diseases. The aim of the present study was to determine the implication of RAGE in the development of SCD-related kidney complications in a mouse model of SCD, as this has never been investigated. 8-week-old AA (normal) and SS (homozygous SCD) Townes mice were treated with a specific RAGE antagonist (RAP) or vehicle (NaCl). After 3 weeks of treatment, red blood cell count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin levels were significantly higher in RAP-treated SS mice. Reticulocyte count and sickle cell count were reduced in RAP-SS compared to their NaCl-treated littermates. The lower NADPH oxidase activity in the kidney of RAP-treated mice compared to NaCl-treated mice suggests limited ROS production. RAP-treated SS mice had decreased NF-κB protein expression and activation as well as reduced TNF-α mRNA expression in the kidney. Glomerular area, interstitial fibrosis, tubular iron deposits, and KIM-1 protein expression were significantly reduced after RAP treatment. In conclusion, this study provides evidence supporting the pathogenic role of RAGE in kidney injuries in sickle cell mice.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia in diabetes causes protein glycation that leads to oxidative stress, release of cytokines, and establishment of secondary complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. Several other metabolic disorders, stress, and inflammation generate free radicals and oxidative stress. It is essential to study whether oxidative stress independently enhances protein glycation leading to rapid establishment of secondary complications. Oxidative stress was experimentally induced using rotenone and Fenton reagent for in vivo and in vitro studies, respectively. Results showed significant increase in the rate of modification of BSA in the form of fructosamine and protein-bound carbonyls in the presence of fenton reagent. Circular dichroism studies revealed gross structural changes in the reduction of alpha helix structure and decreased protein surface charge was confirmed by zeta potential studies. Use of rotenone demonstrated enhanced AGE formation, ROS generation, and liver and kidney tissue glycation through fluorescence measurement. Similar findings were also observed in cell culture studies. Use of aminoguanidine, a protein glycation inhibitor, demonstrated reduction in these changes; however, a combination of aminoguanidine along with vitamin E demonstrated better amelioration. Thus, oxidative stress accelerates the process of protein glycation causing gross structural changes and tissue glycation in insulin-independent tissues. Use of antioxidants and protein glycation inhibitors in combination are more effective in preventing such changes and could be an effective therapeutic option for preventing establishment of secondary complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Protein glycation is a major biochemical event that takes place in the plasma of diabetic patients due to increased sugar levels. Extensive glycation leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that is well known for having detrimental effects on diabetic patients. In the current work, we have glycated the physiologically important protein Haemoglobin A0 in vitro to study AGE formation and activity by using them as a template for gold nanoparticle (GNPs) synthesis. It was found that the surface plasmon resonance of synthesised GNPs showed high correlation with the extent of glycation. On fractionation, the glycated Haemoglobin A0 segregated into two distinct population of products, one consisting of proteinaceous, cross-linked larger fragments of Haemoglobin A0 and a second population of non-proteinaceous low molecular weight AGEs. Only low molecular weight AGEs contributed to synthesis of GNPs upon using the fractions as a template, substantiating the principle of proposed GNP-based assay. Owing to its physiological importance, AGEs can be used as a diagnostic means for diabetes and its associated complications. In this study, we have employed the high reactivity of AGEs for the development of a GNP-based novel colorimetric sensor to enable their detection. Our proposed GNP-based sensing could have high clinical significance in detecting diabetes and its associated complexities.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is one of the most widely prevalent diseases worldwide and is currently screened by invasive techniques based on enzymatic assays that measure plasma glucose concentration in a laboratory setting. A promising plan of action for screening DM2 is to identify molecular signatures in a non-invasive fashion. This work describes the application of portable Raman spectroscopy coupled with several supervised machine-learning techniques, to discern between diabetic patients and healthy controls (Ctrl), with a high degree of accuracy. Using artificial neural networks (ANN), we accurately discriminated between DM2 and Ctrl groups with 88.9-90.9% accuracy, depending on the sampling site. In order to compare the ANN performance to more traditional methods used in spectroscopy, principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out. A subset of features from PCA was used to generate a support vector machine (SVM) model, albeit with decreased accuracy (76.0-82.5%). The 10-fold cross-validation model was performed to validate both classifiers. This technique is relatively low-cost, harmless, simple and comfortable for the patient, yielding rapid diagnosis. Furthermore, the performance of the ANN-based method was better than the typical performance of the invasive measurement of capillary blood glucose. These characteristics make our method a promising screening tool for identifying DM2 in a non-invasive and automated fashion.

Abstract
There are substantial differences in the onset and severity of diabetes complications that are not fully explained by HbA1c levels and other risk factors. HbA1c is the gold standard for assessing metabolic control, but has limited value to identify patients at risk of developing diabetic complications. The main disadvantage of HbA1c is that it does not provide information about glycemic variability and does not reflect long-term exposure to hyperglycemia. One of the main pathogenetic mechanisms of diabetic complications is the generation and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Based on its fluorescence properties, AGEs may be measured in tissues such as the skin or lens. These non-invasive measurements of AGE accumulation may be considered as promising biomarkers of late diabetic complications, and our objective is to summarize the available evidence supporting this statement. However, further translational research and prospective clinical trials are needed before these new biomarkers may be incorporated into clinical practice.

[PMID: 29880742 PMCID: PMC6032278 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19061699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2018] [Revised: 05/26/2018] [Accepted: 05/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The traditional Chinese drug Bombyx Batryticatus (BB), which is also named the white stiff silkworm, has been widely used in Chinese clinics for thousands of years. It is famous for its antispasmodic and blood circulation-promoting effects. Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, interstitial cell hyperplasia, and myocardial fibrosis are closely related to the N-glycosylation of key proteins. To examine the alterations of N-glycosylation that occur in diabetic myocardium during the early stage of the disease, and to clarify the therapeutic effect of 1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) extracted from BB, we used the db/db (diabetic) mouse model and an approach based on hydrophilic chromatography solid-phase extraction integrated with an liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) identification strategy to perform a site-specific N-glycosylation analysis of left ventricular cardiomyocyte proteins. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), hydroxyproline, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and other serum biochemical indicators were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). In addition, the α-1,6-fucosylation of N-glycans was profiled with lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) lectin blots and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled lectin affinity histochemistry. The results indicated that 1-DNJ administration obviously downregulated myocardium protein N-glycosylation in db/db mice. The expression levels of serum indicators and fibrosis-related cytokines were reduced significantly by 1-DNJ in a dose-dependent manner. The glycan α-1,6-fucosylation level of the db/db mouse myocardium was elevated, and the intervention effect of 1-DNJ administration on N-glycan α-1,6-fucosylation was significant. To verify this result, the well-known transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad2/3 pathway was selected, and core α-1,6-fucosylated TGF-β receptor II (TGFR-βII) was analysed semi-quantitatively with western blotting. The result supported the conclusions obtained from LCA lectin affinity histochemistry and lectin blot analysis. The expression level of α-1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) mRNA was also detected, and the results showed that 1-DNJ administration did not cause obvious inhibitory effects on FUT8 expression. Therefore, the mechanism of 1-DNJ for relieving diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM)-associated fibrosis can be concluded as the inhibition of N-acetylglucosamine (N-GlcNAc) formation and the reduction of substrate concentration.

Intima-media thickness at different arterial segments in pediatric type 1 diabetes patients and its relationship with advanced glycation end products. Pediatr Diabetes 2018; 19:450-456.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are at risk for premature atherosclerosis (AS), which has its origin in childhood. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is an established surrogate marker for subclinical AS in adults. The first macroscopically detectable AS changes, however, begin in the abdominal aorta. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) predict microvascular complications in diabetes. OBJECTIVES To assess the sensitivity for early macrovascular changes of brachial, femoral, and aortic IMT compared to conventional carotid IMT in pediatric T1DM patients ; and the relationship of IMT with AGE. METHODS Using high-resolution external ultrasound, carotid, brachial, femoral, and aortic IMT were prospectively analyzed in children and adolescents with established T1DM and in controls (Ctrls). AGE were estimated by skin intrinsic fluorescence (SIF). Other established cardiovascular risk factors were excluded. RESULTS Seventy-six subjects (T1DM = 38; Ctrls = 38) with a mean age of 13.1 ± 4.0 years (6-19, median 13) qualified for analysis. Carotid, brachial, femoral, and aortic IMT analyses were feasible in 100%, 74%, 84%, and 92% of subjects, respectively. Aortic and femoral IMT were increased in T1DM patients (0.60 ± 0.11 vs 0.52 ± 0.10 mm, P < .001; and 0.41 ± 0.07 vs 0.36 ± 0.07 mm, P < .01, respectively) while carotid and brachial IMT were not. AGE levels were elevated in T1DM patients and correlated with aortic IMT only. The influence of AGE on aIMT did not remain significant after adjusting for T1DM and age in our small population. CONCLUSION We found aortic IMT-and to a lesser degree femoral IMT-to be more sensitive than carotid and brachial IMT for detecting early macrovascular changes in pediatric T1DM patients.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed upon nonenzymatic reactions of sugars or their metabolites with proteins and other cellular constituents. Many AGEs are long lived. Recent findings suggest that AGEs may predict diabetes and its complications and thus may warrant further study. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of our experimental procedures for measuring AGEs in stored blood sample and to conduct a pilot study for developing AGE biomarkers for diabetes and/or age-related changes of glucose metabolism. We conducted a reliability study of the samples and methods using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS assays for 10 AGEs (including methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone (MG-H1), glucosepane (GSP) and two oxidation measures, in stored repository blood samples from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. We also analyzed data relating blood GSP levels to type 2 diabetes status in a case-control study (25 cases and 15 controls). Among the AGEs, GSP, and MG-H1 showed the highest reliability across the various measures: reliability in duplicate samples and stability with delayed processing and storage over 1-2 year period. Furthermore, plasma GSP was associated with older age (P = 0.04) and type 2 diabetes status (age-adjusted P = 0.0475). Our findings suggest that analysis of these AGEs may be developed as biomarkers for diabetes and/or age-related changes of glucose metabolism. © 2018 BioFactors, 44(3):281-288, 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a serious component of metabolic syndrome (MetS). HYPOTHESIS This research investigates the potential protective effect of limonin against MetS-associated hypertension in comparison with azelnidipine, a common calcium channel blocker. STUDY DESIGN MetS was induced in rats by 10% fructose in water and 3% salt in diet over a 16-week period. Limonin (50 mg/kg) and azelnidipine (5 mg/kg) were administered daily in the last four weeks METHODS: Non-invasive blood pressure (BP) was recorded in conscious animals. Concentration-response curves for phenylephrine (PE) and acetylcholine (ACh) were analysed in thoracic aorta (macrovessels) and kidney microvessels. Blood glucose level, serum insulin level, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), malondialdehyde (MDA) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were determined. RESULTS Limonin alleviated elevations in systolic and diastolic BP associated with MetS similar to levels associated with azelnidipine. Limonin prevented the MetS induced exaggerated macro- and micro-vascular contractility to PE and the impaired dilatation to ACh. However, in vitro incubation with limonin partially alleviated the deteriorated vascular reactivity of aorta isolated from MetS animals or AGEs injured aorta. Limonin did not have direct relaxant effect on the isolated vessel. On the other hand, limonin reduced the elevated serum levels of AGEs, TNF-α and MDA. Limonin suppressed the vascular fibrosis through reducing the elevated serum level of TGF-β1 and excessive aortic collagen deposition. Limonin decreased the elevated HOMA-IR in MetS animals. CONCLUSION Limonin offsets the hypertensive and vascular impairment associated with MetS via attenuation of inflammation and fibrosis. Its impact is comparable to that of azelnidipine.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are extremely oxidant and biologically reactive compounds, which form through oxidation of sugars, lipids and amino acids to create aldehydes that bind covalently to proteins. AGEs formation and accumulation in human tissues is a physiological process during ageing but it is enhanced in case of persistent hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and oxidative or carbonyl stress, which are common in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Exogenous AGEs may derive from foods, UV irradiation and cigarette smoking. AGEs elicit biological functions by activating membrane receptors expressed on epithelial and inflammatory cell surface. AGEs amplify inflammatory response by favoring the release of cytokines and chemokines, the production of reactive oxygen species and the activation of metalloproteases. AGEs levels are increased in the skin and blood of patients with severe psoriasis independently of associated metabolic disorders. Intensified glycation of proteins in psoriasis skin might have a role in fueling cutaneous inflammation. In addition, AGEs released from psoriatic skin may increase metabolic and cardiovascular risk in patients with severe disease.

Abstract
Background There are limited data regarding the contribution of advanced glycation end products in the presence of rheumatoid arthritis. We investigated whether serum Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine were related to the presence and the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods Eighty patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 30 control subjects were included in a cross-sectional study. The severity of rheumatoid arthritis was assessed using the disease activity score for 28 joints. Serum Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Serum Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine concentrations were significantly higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis vs. control subjects ( P < 0.001). Serum Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine concentrations were significantly higher in rheumatoid arthritis patients with high disease activity vs. rheumatoid arthritis patients with moderate disease activity ( P < 0.001, P = 0.019, respectively). A multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine was independently associated with the presence of rheumatoid arthritis (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05-1.39, P = 0.006). Furthermore, in a multivariate stepwise regression analysis, Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine was independently correlated with disease activity score for 28 joints (standardized β = 0.43, P = 0.001). Conclusion Serum Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine and pentosidine were increased during rheumatoid arthritis, and Nɛ-carboxymethyllysine was independently associated with the presence and the severity of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Aim We analyzed the cross-sectional and prospective relationships between the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE), assessed by skin autofluorescence (AF) and frailty and its components. Methods A total of 423 participants of the Bordeaux sample of the Three-City study 75 years of age or older in 2009–2010 were included in the cross-sectional analysis. Among them, 255 initially non-frail participants were re-examined 4 years later. Skin AF (arbitrary units (AU)) was measured using the AGE Reader. Frailty was defined using Fried’s criteria. Associations were assessed with logistic regression models. Results Mean skin AF at baseline was 2.81 ±0.68 AU and 16.8% participants were frail. Adjusted for sociodemographic and health characteristics, skin AF was associated neither with prevalent frailty as a whole (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.2; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.8–1.9) nor with any of its components. Among 255 non-frail participants, 32 became frail over 4 years. In multivariate analyses, skin AF was not associated with incident frailty as a whole (OR = 1.0; 0.5–2.0) but with a doubled risk of incident exhaustion (OR = 2.0; 1.2–3.6) and low energy expenditure (OR = 2.0; 1.1–3.7). No association was observed with other criteria. Conclusion In French older community-dwellers aged 75 years and over, the accumulation of AGEs evaluated by skin AF was not associated with prevalent or incident frailty but with the 4-year risk of exhaustion and low energy expenditure. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and Aims: Pre and post-operative nutritional status are not often tested on a consistent basis when patients are analyzed and diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) or have chronic periodontitis. Thus, this study pursues to evaluate the predictive value of serum vitamin C and lead levels in this population at baseline and after periodontal treatment.
Materials and Methods: In an interventional study setting we enrolled 120 subjects which were later categorized into four sub-groups: set 1 – individuals with chronic periodontitis, set 2 – individuals with T2DM, set 3 – individuals with T2DM and chronic periodontitis respectively set 4 - healthy individuals as control group. Scaling and root planing was performed only to individuals with periodontitis and T2DM. At baseline and 21 days after periodontitis treatment blood was obtained from the subjects and analysis of serum vitamin C and serum lead was done and data obtained was statisticaly analysed.
Results: ANOVA test showed baseline values of both the parameters to be statistically significant different between groups and within groups (p<0.001). Alteration was seen in the parameters postoperatively regarding serum vitamin C was increased and lead level decreased; paired t-test showed statistically significant difference (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Serum Vitamin C can be considered a key biomarker. Increased lead level can be a risk factor for commencement and progression of T2DM and chronic periodontitis.
