Abstract
We aimed to assess the association of SAF with cardiovascular mortality in the general population and the possible association between SAF with other disease-specific mortality rates. We evaluated 77,143 participants without known diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The cause of death was ascertained by the municipality database. The associations between SAF and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cancer mortality were assessed with Cox proportional hazard analysis.After a median follow-up of 115 months, 1447 participants were deceased (1.9%). SAF and age-adjusted SAF-z score were higher in all mortality groups. Cox regression analysis revealed that the highest quartile of SAF was associated with increased odds of cardiovascular mortality, (HR) 12.6 (7.3-21.7) and after adjusting for age (HR 1.8 (1.0-3.2)). Significance was lost after additional adjustments for sex, smoking status, and BMI (HR 1.4 (0.8-2.5). For cancer-related mortality the highest quartile of SAF was associated with higher probability of mortality in all models (unadjusted HR 8.6 (6.6-11.3), adjusted for age HR 2.1 (1.6-2.8)), adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and BMI HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4)). SAF is associated with all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular and cancer-related mortality in the general population.

Abstract
Cancer cells exhibit high glycolytic activity, metabolizing glucose as their primary energy substrate. Toxic metabolites produced during glycolysis, such as methylglyoxal, induce carbonyl stress (CS), promoting inflammation and oxidative stress. The elevated glucose metabolism in cancer cells creates this toxic environment. However, little research has focused on the molecules mediating these reactions and stresses, and their role in selecting and enriching apoptosis-resistant cells. This study investigated the impact of constitutively suppressing oxidized lipid receptor G2A (GPR132) expression on the relationship between CS and oxidative stress in glucose-loaded cancer cells. G2A has recently attracted attention as a tumor promoter. However, our study shows that G2A suppression under glucose loading significantly reduces CS and associated oxidative stress, thereby enhancing cancer cell survival. This suggests a new mechanism contrary to conventional thinking, involving the acute induction of glyoxalase 1 (Glo1). G2A may thus play a role in selecting and enriching apoptosis-resistant cell populations under high glucose conditions by regulating Glo1 expression. These findings improve our understanding of the adaptive capacity of cancer cells to glucose toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing various forms of cancer, and the potential biological links between these two diseases are not completely understood. METHODS This was a longitudinal retrospective nationwide cohort study, a study design that allows us to examine the natural course of cancer development over an extended period of time with a large sample size. Initially, 3,111,975 and 22,208,395 eligible patients aged ≥ 20 years with and without diabetes, respectively, were matched by age, sex, and the Charlson comorbidity index. Ultimately, 1,751,457 patients were selected from each group. Stratified populations for diabetic retinopathy (DR) (n = 380,822) and without DR (n = 380,822) as well as proliferative DR (PDR) (n = 141,150) and non-proliferative DR (NPDR) (n = 141,150) were analyzed in this study. The main outcome measure was the first-time diagnosis of cancer during the follow-up period. RESULTS We observed a 20% higher risk of total cancer incidence [hazard ratios (HR), 1.20; p < 0.001] in the diabetes cohort compared to the non-diabetes cohort. The highest HR was observed for liver and pancreas cancers. Moderately increased risks were observed for oral, colon, gallbladder, reproductive (female), kidney, and brain cancer. Furthermore, there was a borderline significantly increased risk of stomach, skin, soft tissue, female breast, and urinary tract (except kidney) cancers and lymphatic and hematopoietic malignancies. The stratified analysis revealed that the total cancer incidence was significantly higher in the DR cohort compared to the non-DR cohort (HR, 1.31; p < 0.001), and there was a borderline increased risk in the PDR cohort compared to the NPDR cohort (HR, 1.13; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study provides large-scale, nationwide, population-based evidence that diabetes is independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent development of total cancer and cancer at specific sites. Notably, this risk may further increase when DR develops.

Development of simultaneous quantitation method for 20 free advanced glycation end products using UPLC-MS/MS and clinical application in kidney injury. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 242:116035. [PMID: 38367518 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116035] [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: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), derived from the non-enzymatic glycation reaction, are defined as glycotoxins in various diseases including aging, diabetes and kidney injury. Exploring AGEs as potential biomarkers for these diseases holds paramount significance. Nevertheless, the high chemical structural similarity and great heterogeneity among AGEs present a formidable challenge when it comes to the comprehensive, simultaneous, and accurate detection of multiple AGEs in biological samples. In this study, an UPLC/MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of 20 free AGEs in human serum was firstly established and applied to quantification of clinical samples from individuals with kidney injury. Simple sample preparation method through protein precipitation without derivatization was used. Method performances including imprecision, accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, and carryover were systematically validated. Intra- and inter- imprecision of 20 free AGEs were 1.93-5.94 % and 2.30-8.55 %, respectively. The method accuracy was confirmed with good recoveries ranging from 96.40 % to 103.25 %. The LOD and LOQ were 0.1-3.13 ng/mL and 0.5-6.25 ng/mL, respectively. Additionally, the 20 free AGEs displayed excellent linearity (R2 >0.9974) across a wide linear range (1.56-400 ng/mL). Finally, through simultaneous quantitation of 20 Free AGEs in 100 participants including kidney injury patient and healthy controls, we identified six free AGEs, including N6-carboxyethyl-L-arginine (CEA), N6-carboxymethyl-L-lysine (CML), methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolones (MG-H), N6-formyl-lysine, N6-carboxymethyl-L-arginine (CMA), and glyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone (G-H), could well distinguish kidney injury patients and healthy individuals. Among them, the levels of four free AGEs including CML, CEA, MG-H, and G-H strongly correlate with traditionally clinical markers of kidney disease. The high area under the curve (AUC) values (AUC=0.965) in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that these four free AGEs can be served as combined diagnostic biomarkers for the diagnosis of kidney disease.

Abstract
The glyoxalase system, comprising GLO1 and GLO2 enzymes, is integral in detoxifying methylglyoxal (MGO) generated during glycolysis, with dysregulation implicated in various cancer types. The MEK/ERK/SMAD1 signaling pathway, crucial in cellular processes, influences tumorigenesis, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Altered GLO1 expression in cancer showcases its complex role in cellular adaptation and cancer aggressiveness. GLO2 exhibits context-dependent functions, contributing to both proapoptotic and antiapoptotic effects in different cancer scenarios. Research highlights the interconnected nature of these systems, particularly in ovarian cancer and breast cancer. The glyoxalase system's involvement in drug resistance and its impact on the MEK/ERK/SMAD1 signaling cascade underscore their clinical significance. Furthermore, this review delves into the urgent need for effective biomarkers, exemplified in ovarian cancer, where the RAGE-ligand pathway emerges as a potential diagnostic tool. While therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways hold promise, this review emphasizes the challenges posed by context-dependent effects and intricate crosstalk within the cellular milieu. Insights into the molecular intricacies of these pathways offer a foundation for developing innovative therapeutic approaches, providing hope for enhanced cancer diagnostics and tailored treatment strategies.

Abstract
Collagens are fundamental constituents of the extracellular matrix and are the most abundant proteins in mammals. Collagens belong to the family of fibrous or fiber-forming proteins that self-assemble into fibrils that define their mechanical properties and biological functions. Up to now, 28 members of the collagen superfamily have been recognized. Collagen biosynthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum, where specific post-translational modification-glycosylation-is also carried out. The glycosylation of collagens is very specific and adds β-d-galactopyranose and β-d-Glcp-(1→2)-d-Galp disaccharide through β-O-linkage to hydroxylysine. Several glycosyltransferases, namely COLGALT1, COLGALT2, LH3, and PGGHG glucosidase, were associated the with glycosylation of collagens, and recently, the crystal structure of LH3 has been solved. Although not fully understood, it is clear that the glycosylation of collagens influences collagen secretion and the alignment of collagen fibrils. A growing body of evidence also associates the glycosylation of collagen with its functions and various human diseases. Recent progress in understanding collagen glycosylation allows for the exploitation of its therapeutic potential and the discovery of new agents. This review will discuss the relevant contributions to understanding the glycosylation of collagens. Then, glycosyltransferases involved in collagen glycosylation, their structure, and catalytic mechanism will be surveyed. Furthermore, the involvement of glycosylation in collagen functions and collagen glycosylation-related diseases will be discussed.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have recently been implicated in the onset/progression of lifestyle-related diseases (LSRDs); therefore, the suppression of AGE-induced effects may be used in both the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Various AGEs are produced by different biological pathways in the body. Glyceraldehyde (GA) is an intermediate of glucose and fructose metabolism, and GA-derived AGEs (GA-AGEs), cytotoxic compounds that accumulate and induce damage in mammalian cells, contribute to the onset/progression of LSRDs. The following GA-AGE structures have been detected to date: triosidines, GA-derived pyridinium compounds, GA-derived pyrrolopyridinium lysine dimers, methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone 1, and argpyrimidine. GA-AGEs are a key contributor to the formation of toxic AGEs (TAGE) in many cells. The extracellular leakage of TAGE affects the surrounding cells via interactions with the receptor for AGEs. Elevated serum levels of TAGE, which trigger different types of cell damage, may be used as a novel biomarker for the prevention and early diagnosis of LSRDs as well as in evaluations of treatment efficacy. This review provides an overview of the structures of GA-AGEs.

Abstract
One in five women with breast cancer will relapse despite ideal treatment. Body weight and physical activity are strongly associated with recurrence risk, thus lifestyle modification is an attractive strategy to improve prognosis. Trials of dietary modification in breast cancer are promising but the role of specific diets is unclear, as is whether high-quality diet without weight loss can impact prognosis. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are compounds produced in the body during sugar metabolism. Exogenous AGEs, such as those found in food, combined with endogenous AGEs, make up the total body AGE load. AGEs deposit in tissues over time impacting cell signaling pathways and altering protein functions. AGEs can be measured or estimated in the diet and measured in blood through their metabolites. Studies demonstrate an association between AGEs and breast cancer risk and prognosis. Here, we review the clinical data on dietary and serum AGEs in breast cancer.

Abstract
Protein oxidation caused by food processing is harmful to human health. A large number of studies have focused on the effects of hot processing on protein oxidation of meat products. As an important protein source for human beings, the effects of hot processing on protein oxidation in flour products are also worthy of further study. This study investigated the influences on the protein oxidation of wheat dough under baking (0-30 min, 200 °C or 20 min, 80-230 °C) and frying (0-18 min, 180 °C or 10 min, 140-200 °C). With the increase in baking and frying time and temperature, we found that the color of the dough deepened, the secondary structure of the protein changed from α-helix to β-sheet and β-turn, the content of carbonyl and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) increased, and the content of free sulfhydryl (SH) and free amino groups decreased. Furthermore, baking and frying resulted in a decrease in some special amino acid components in the dough, and an increase in the content of amino acid oxidation products, dityrosine, kynurenine, and N'-formylkynurenine. Moreover, the nutritional value evaluation results showed that excessive baking and frying reduced the free radical scavenging rate and digestibility of the dough. These results suggest that frying and baking can cause protein oxidation in the dough, resulting in the accumulation of protein oxidation products and decreased nutritional value. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce excessive processing or take reasonable intervention measures to reduce the effects of thermal processing on protein oxidation of flour products.

Food Res Int 2023; 174:113628. [PMID: 37986479 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113628] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Protein-bound Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product within meat products, poses a potential health risk to humans. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of various edible oils on the formation of protein-bound CML in roasted pork patties. Eleven commercially edible oils including lard oil, corn oil, palm oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, blended oil, camellia oil, walnut oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, and colza oil were added to pork tenderloin mince, respectively, at a proportion of 4 % to prepare raw pork patties. The protein-bound CML contents in the pork patties were determined by HPLC-MS/MS before and after roasting at 200 °C for 20 min. The results indicated that walnut oil, flaxseed oil, colza oil, olive oil, lard oil, corn oil, blended oil, and palm oil significantly reduced the accumulation of protein-bound CML in pork patties, of which the inhibition rate was in the 24.43 %-37.96 % range. Moreover, the addition of edible oil contributed to a marginal reduction in the loss of lysine. Meanwhile, glyoxal contents in pork patties were reduced by 16.72 %-43.21 % after roasting. Other than blend oil, all the other edible oils restrained protein oxidation in pork patties to varying degrees (between 20.16 % and 61.26 %). In addition, camellia oil, walnut oil, and flaxseed oil increased TBARS values of pork patties by 2.2-8.6 times when compared to the CON group. After analyzing the fatty acid compositions of eleven edible oils, five main fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid) were selected to establish Myofibrillar protein-Glucose-fatty acids systems to simulate the roasting process. The results showed that palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid obviously mitigated the formation of myofibrillar protein-bound CML, exhibiting suppression rates ranging from 10.38 % to 40.32 %. In conclusion, the addition of specific edible oil may curb protein-bound CML production in roasted pork patty by restraining protein or lipid oxidation, reducing lysine loss, and suppressing glyoxal production, which may be attributed to the fatty acid compositions of edible oils. This finding provides valuable guidance for the selection of healthy roasting oils in the thermal processing of meat products.

Abstract
1-Amino-1-deoxy-d-fructose (fructosamine, FN) derivatives are omnipresent in all living organisms, as a result of non-enzymatic condensation and Amadori rearrangement reactions between free glucose and biogenic amines such as amino acids, polypeptides, or aminophospholipids. Over decades, steady interest in fructosamine was largely sustained by its role as a key intermediate structure in the Maillard reaction that is responsible for the organoleptic and nutritional value of thermally processed foods, and for pathophysiological effects of hyperglycemia in diabetes. New trends in fructosamine research include the discovery and engineering of FN-processing enzymes, development of advanced tools for hyperglycemia monitoring, and evaluation of the therapeutic potential of both fructosamines and FN-recognizing proteins. This article covers developments in the field of fructosamine and its derivatives since 2010 and attempts to ascertain challenges in future research.

Abstract
Several studies report that breast cancer survivors (BCS) tend to have a poor diet, as fruit, vegetable, and legume consumption is often reduced, resulting in a decreased intake of nutraceuticals. Moreover, weight gain has been commonly described among BCS during treatment, increasing recurrence rate and mortality. Improving lifestyle and nutrition after the diagnosis of BC may have important benefits on patients' general health and on specific clinical outcomes. The Mediterranean diet (MD), known for its multiple beneficial effects on health, can be considered a nutritional pool comprising several nutraceuticals: bioactive compounds and foods with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Recent scientific advances have led to the identification of nutraceuticals that could amplify the benefits of the MD and favorably influence gene expression in these patients. Nutraceuticals could have beneficial effects in the postdiagnostic phase of BC, including helping to mitigate the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Moreover, the MD could be a valid and easy-to-follow option for managing excess weight. The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate the recent scientific literature on the possible beneficial effects of consuming functional and nutraceutical foods in the framework of MD in BCS.

Advanced glycation end product (AGE) targeting antibody SIWA318H is efficacious in preclinical models for pancreatic cancer. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16953. [PMID: 37805542 PMCID: PMC10560265 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44211-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023] Open
Abstract
SIWA318H is a novel monoclonal antibody that selectively targets an advanced glycation end product biomarker found in damaged/dysfunctional cells exhibiting (a) aerobic glycolysis, and (b) oxidative stress. Cells with this biomarker are dysfunctional and are associated with stresses and/or damages relating to aging, cancer and other disease processes. In this study, we evaluated the biological effects and antitumor activity of SIWA318H in preclinical models for pancreatic cancer. SIWA318H binds to pancreatic cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts, as well as tumor xenografts derived from pancreatic cancer patients. Furthermore, SIWA318H induced significant antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against pancreatic cancer cells. In a humanized CD34+ NSG mouse xenograft model for pancreatic cancer, tumors in mice treated with SIWA318H grew significantly slower compared to those in control mice (p < 0.001). After 3 weeks of treatment with SIWA318H, the tumor growth was suppressed by 68.8% and 61.5% for the high and low dose regimens, respectively, when compared to the isotype antibody control (ANOVA p < 0.002). Moreover, a significant increase in complete remission (CR) rate was observed in mice receiving the high dose (60%, p < 0.04) or low dose (77.8%, p < 0.02) of SIWA318H treatment compared with control mice (6.7%). Immunohistochemical analyses of the tumor tissues showed a significant decrease in senescent cells in the tumor microenvironment of SIWA318H treated mice compared to that of control treated mice (p < 0.05). These results provide compelling evidence that SIWA318H is a promising novel therapeutic against pancreatic cancer.

Dietary advanced glycation end products are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in Iranian adults. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:932. [PMID: 37789296 PMCID: PMC10546745 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11462-5] [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: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can play an important role in increasing inflammatory factors and oxidative stress as risk factors for cancers. In the present study, we aimed to assess the relationship between dietary AGEs and the risk of breast cancer (BC) in Iranian adult women. METHODS This hospital-based case-control study includes 401 participants aged ≥ 30 years old. The cases group consisted of 134 women diagnosed with histologically confirmed BC. The control group included 267 women enrolled randomly from patients admitted to the same hospitals. Dietary intake information was determined using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and dietary AGEs intake was computed for all participants. Logistic regression models, adjusted for potential confounders, were used to determine the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of BC across tertiles of dietary AGEs. RESULTS The mean ± SD age and body mass index of the study population were 47.92 ± 10.33 years and 29.43 ± 5.51 kg/m2, respectively. The median (interquartile) of dietary AGEs in all individuals was 9251(7450, 11,818) kU/day. After adjusting for age, first pregnancy age, and energy intake, participants in the highest tertile of dietary AGEs intakes had higher odds of BC compared to those in the lowest tertile of dietary AGEs (OR:2.29;95%CI:1.19-4.39, Ptrend:0.012). Additionally, in the multivariable model, after adjusting for age, age at first pregnancy, energy, menopausal status, family history of cancer, anti-inflammatory drug use, Vitamin D supplementation, physical activity, body mass index, number of childbirths, and history of abortion, breastfeeding, and oral contraceptive pills use, the odds of BC were increased across tertiles of dietary AGEs intake (OR: 2.33; 95%CI: 1.18-4.60, Ptrend: 0.017). CONCLUSION The present findings suggest that a diet with high AGEs is associated with a higher likelihood of BC in adult women.

Correlation between serum advanced glycation end products and dietary intake of advanced glycation end products estimated from home cooking and food frequency questionnaires. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:1768-1777.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS To our knowledge the association between dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) and cardiometabolic disease is limited. Our aim was to examine the association between dAGEs and serum concentration of carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) or soluble receptor advanced glycation end-products (sRAGEs), and to assess the difference on dAGEs and circulating AGEs according to lifestyle and biochemical measures. METHODS AND RESULTS 52 overweight or obese adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were included in this cross-sectional analysis. dAGEs were estimated from a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) or from a FFQ + Home Cooking Frequency Questionnaire (HCFQ). Serum concentrations of CML and sRAGEs were measured by ELISA. Correlation tests were used to analyze the association between dAGEs derived from the FFQ or FFQ + HCFQ and concentrations of CML or sRAGEs. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors and biochemical measures were analyzed according to sRAGEs and dAGEs using student t-test and ANCOVA. A significant inverse association was found between serum sRAGEs and dAGEs estimated using the FFQ + HCFQ (r = -0.36, p = 0.010), whereas no association was found for dAGEs derived from the FFQ alone. No association was observed between CML and dAGEs. dAGEs intake estimated from the FFQ + HCFQ was significantly higher among younger and male participants, and in those with higher BMI, higher Hb1Ac levels, longer time with type 2 diabetes, lower adherence to Mediterranean diet, and higher use of culinary techniques that generate more AGEs (all p values p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results show knowledge on culinary techniques is relevant to derive the association between dAGEs intake and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
Although it is well-known that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a key role in regulating tumor progression, the effects of mechanical tissue changes on CAFs are understudied. Myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), in particular, are known to alter tumor matrix architecture and composition, heavily influencing the mechanical forces in the tumor microenvironment (TME), but much less is known about how these mechanical changes initiate and maintain the myCAF phenotype. Additionally, recent studies have pointed to the existence of CAFs in circulating tumor cell clusters, indicating that CAFs may be subject to mechanical forces beyond the primary TME. Due to their pivotal role in cancer progression, targeting CAF mechanical regulation may provide therapeutic benefit. Here, we will discuss current knowledge and summarize existing gaps in how CAFs regulate and are regulated by matrix mechanics, including through stiffness, solid and fluid stresses, and fluid shear stress.

Could circulating biomarkers of nitrosative stress and protein glycoxidation be useful in patients with gastric cancer? Front Oncol 2023; 13:1213802.

Abstract
Background Nitrosative stress leads to protein glycoxidation, but both processes may be strongly related to the cancer development. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the nitrosative stress and protein glycoxidation products in patients with gastric cancer in comparison with healthy controls. We are also the first to evaluate the diagnostic utility of nitrosative stress and protein glycoxidation markers in gastric cancer patients in respect to histopathological classifications (TNM, Lauren's and Goseki's classification) and histopathological parameters such as histological type, histological differentiation grade, presence of vascular or neural invasion, desmoplasia and Helicobacter pylori infection. Methods The study included 50 patients with gastric cancer and 50 healthy controls matched for sex and age. Nitrosative stress parameters and protein glycoxidation products were measured colorimetrically/fluorometrically in plasma or serum samples. Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical analysis. Results NO, S-nitrosothiols, nitrotyrosine, kynurenine, N-formylkynurenine, dityrosine, AGE and Amadori products were significantly increased whereas tryptophan fluorescence was decreased in patients with gastric cancer compared to the healthy control. Nitrosative stress and glycoxidation products may be useful in diagnosis of gastric cancer because they differentiate patients with gastric cancer from healthy individuals with high sensitivity and specificity. Some of the determined parameters are characterised by high AUC value in differentiation of GC patients according to the histopathological parameters. Conclusions Gastric cancer is associated with enhanced circulating nitrosative stress and protein glycation. Although further research on a tissue model is needed, plasma/serum biomarkers may be dependent on tumour size, histological type, tumour invasion depth, presence of lymph node and distant metastasis, vascular and neural invasion and Helicobacter pylori infection. Thus, circulating biomarkers of nitrosative stress/protein glycoxidation may have potential diagnostic significance in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA) is an important protein source in our daily life. Unfortunately, the food safety problem has become more and more serious, such as protein allergy and contaminated protein. Therefore, it is necessary to detect vital proteins efficiently and rapidly. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for the detection of proteins. Herein, dual amino acids functionalized covalent organic frameworks containing disulfide covalent bonds (COF@SS@GC, where G is glutathione and C is cysteine) were facilely prepared for OVA enrichment through hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) under physiological pH. The results showed that COF@SS@GC had displayed sensitive detection (0.1 fmol), good selectivity (OVA: BSA = 1:100), adsorption capacity (311 mg/g), stability, reproducibility, linearity, LOQ level (42 μg/mL) and recovery ratio (64.83 %) for OVA. COF@SS@GC also demonstrated satisfactory purification ability in the enrichment of egg white, indicating that COF@SS@GC had great potential in the enrichment of protein from complex samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the association of serum advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and its soluble receptor of AGE (sRAGE) levels with dysglycaemia and metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS This was an analysis of a cohort of women with PCOS who were prospectively recruited for a longitudinal observational study on their endocrine and metabolic profile between January 2010 and December 2013. The association of serum AGEs and sRAGE levels with dysglycaemia and metabolic syndrome at the second-year visit (the index visit) and the sixth-year visit (the outcome visit) were determined. Comparisons of continuous variables between groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U-test. Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the factors independently associated with the outcome events. RESULTS A total of 329 women were analysed at the index visit. Significantly lower serum levels of sRAGE (both p < 0.001), but no significant difference in AGEs, were observed in those with dysglycaemia or metabolic syndrome. At the outcome visit, those with incident metabolic syndrome had a significantly lower initial serum sRAGE levels (p = 0.008). The association of serum sRAGE with dysglycaemia and metabolic syndrome at the index visit was no longer significant in multivariate logistic regression after controlling for body mass index, free androgen index and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). sRAGE was also not significantly associated with incident metabolic syndrome at the outcome visit on multivariate logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS Serum sRAGE levels are significantly lower in women with PCOS who have dysglycaemia or metabolic syndrome, and in those developing incident metabolic syndrome in four years. However, it does not have a significant independent association with these outcome measures after adjusting for body mass index, free androgen index and HOMA-IR.

Abstract
Organ fibrosis is a pathological process of fibroblast activation and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix after persistent tissue injury and therefore is a common endpoint of many organ pathologies. Multiple cellular types and soluble mediators, including chemokines, cytokines and non-peptidic factors, are implicated in fibrogenesis and the remodeling of tissue architecture. The molecular basis of the fibrotic process is complex and consists of closely intertwined signaling networks. Research has strived for a better understanding of these pathological mechanisms to potentially reveal novel therapeutic targets for fibrotic diseases. In light of new knowledge, the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) emerged as an important candidate for the regulation of a wide variety of cellular functions related to fibrosis, including inflammation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. RAGE is a pattern recognition receptor that binds a broad range of ligands such as advanced glycation end products, high mobility group box-1, S-100 calcium-binding protein and amyloid beta protein. Although the link between RAGE and fibrosis has been established, the exact mechanisms need be investigated in further studies. The aim of this review is to collect all available information about the intricate function of RAGE and its signaling cascades in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases within different organs. In addition, to the major ligands and signaling pathways, we discuss potential strategies for targeting RAGE in fibrosis. We emphasize the functional links between RAGE, inflammation and fibrosis that may guide further studies and the development of improved therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the ninth leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is a complex disease that manifests as chronic hyperglycemia. Glucose exposure causes biochemical changes at the proteome level as reflected in accumulation of glycated proteins. A prominent example is hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a glycated protein widely accepted as a diabetic indicator. Another emerging biomarker is glycated albumin which has demonstrated utility in situations where HbA1c cannot be used. Other proteins undergo glycation as well thus impacting cellular function, transport and immune response. Accordingly, these glycated counterparts may serve as predictors for diabetic complications and thus warrant further inquiry. Fortunately, modern proteomics has provided unique analytic capability to enable improved and more comprehensive exploration of glycating agents and glycated proteins. This review broadly covers topics from epidemiology of diabetes to modern analytical tools such as mass spectrometry to facilitate a better understanding of diabetes pathophysiology. This serves as an attempt to connect clinically relevant questions with findings of recent proteomic studies to suggest future avenues of diabetes research.

Abstract
Although cancer is a genetic disease, physical changes such as stiffening of the extracellular matrix also commonly occur in cancer. Cancer cells sense and respond to extracellular matrix stiffening through the process of mechanotransduction. Cancer cell mechanotransduction can enhance cancer-promoting cell behaviors such as survival signaling, proliferation, and migration. Glycans, carbohydrate-based polymers, have recently emerged as important mediators and/or modulators of cancer cell mechanotransduction. Stiffer tumors are characterized by increased glycan content on cancer cells and their associated extracellular matrix. Here we review the role of cancer-associated glycans in coupled mechanical and biochemical alterations during cancer progression. We discuss the recent evidence on how increased expression of different glycans, in the form of glycoproteins and proteoglycans, contributes to both mechanical changes in tumors and corresponding cancer cell responses. We conclude with a summary of emerging tools that can be used to modify glycans for future studies in cancer mechanobiology.

Abstract
The respiratory burst is a rapid cellular consumption of oxygen resulting in abundant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), most often associated with primary mediators of innate immunity, neutrophils and macrophages. These myeloid cells convert ROS into potent antimicrobial oxidants that efficiently kill pathogens. The respiratory burst also can have destructive consequences, as ROS are well known to support chronic inflammation and aberrant autoimmune responses. Interestingly, ROS perform conflicting roles in the tumor microenvironment; ROS and derived cytotoxic products can destroy cancer cells but also suppress important tumor-fighting functions of T cells or natural killer cells, or yield mutagenized proteins that can promote tumorigenesis or support tumor cell growth. Moreover, high numbers of neutrophils or macrophages in tumors are associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, accurate and quantitative assays to assess the respiratory burst are an important tool for measuring ROS production by neutrophils or cells of the monocyte/macrophage system, each recently identified in the tumor microenvironment. Described are methods to derive mouse or human models of neutrophils or macrophages, which are then used in a detailed assay to quantitatively measure ROS produced by either cell type using luminescence-enhanced reagents and a multi-well platform along with different stimulants that cause rapid ROS production.

Abstract
A major precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) - methylglyoxal (MG) - is a reactive carbonyl metabolite that originates from glycolytic pathways. MG formation and accumulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and age-related chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) are multipotent cells that have the potential to differentiate into cells of mesenchymal origin including osteoblasts, but the role of MG on their differentiation is unclear. We therefore evaluated the effect of MG on proliferation and differentiation of BMSC-derived osteoblasts. Cells were treated with different concentrations of MG (600, 800 and 1000 μM). Cell viability was assessed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposition assays were performed to evaluate osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. Gene expression was measured using qRT-PCR, whereas AGE specific receptor (RAGE) and collagen 1 were examined by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting. RAGE knockdown was performed by transducing RAGE specific short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) using lentivirus. During osteogenic differentiation, MG treatment resulted in reduction of cell viability (27.7 %), ALP activity (45.5 %) and mineralization (82.3 %) compared to untreated cells. MG significantly decreased expression of genes involved in osteogenic differentiation - RUNX2 (2.8 fold), ALPL (3.2 fold), MG detoxification through glyoxalase - GLO1 (3 fold) and collagen metabolism - COL1A1 (4.9 fold), COL1A2 (6.8 fold), LOX (5.4 fold) and PLOD1 (1.7 fold). MG significantly reduced expression of collagen 1 (53.3 %) and RAGE (43.1 %) at protein levels. Co-treatment with a MG scavenger - aminoguanidine - prevented all negative effects of MG. RAGE-specific knockdown during MG treatment did not reverse the effects on cell viability, osteogenic differentiation or collagen metabolism. In conclusion, MG treatment can negatively influence the collagen metabolism and differentiation of BMSCs-derived osteoblasts through a RAGE independent mechanism.

Abstract
Tumors were characterized as nonhealing wounds by Virchow in 1858 and Dvorak in 1986. Since then, researchers have analyzed tumors from a new perspective. The parallels between tumorigenesis and physiological wound healing can provide a new framework for developing antitumor therapeutics. One commonality between tumors and wounds is the involvement of the stromal environment, particularly adipose stromal/stem cells (ASCs). ASCs exhibit dual functions, in which they stimulate tumor progression and assist in tissue repair and regeneration. Numerous studies have focused on the role of ASCs in cancer and wound healing, but none to date has linked age, cancer, and wound healing. Furthermore, very few studies have focused on the role of donor-specific characteristics of ASCs, such as age and their role in facilitating ASC behavior in cancer and wound healing. This review article is designed to provide important insights into the impact of donor age on ASC tumor and wound response and their role in facilitating ASC behavior in cancer and wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The insulin resistance-mediated abnormal gluconeogenesis when exceeds a given threshold culminates in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This induces severe cellular oxidative stress that may eventually facilitate typical neoplastic transformations. This narrative review aims to portray some of the plausible key mechanistic links bridging T2DM and specific cancers. METHODS A thorough literature search was conducted in the PubMedCentral database to retrieve information from various reputed biomedical reports/articles published from the year 2000. The information regarding the key biochemical signaling pathways mediating the carcinogenic transformation, especially in T2DM patients, was extensively excavated to systematically compile and present a narrative review. RESULTS T2DM-associated insulin resistance is known to negatively influence certain crucial genetic and metabolic components (such as insulin/IGFs, PI-3K/Akt, AMPK, and AGEs/RAGE) that may eventually lead to neoplastic transformation. In particular, the risk of developing cancers like pancreatic, colorectal, breast, liver, endometrial, and bladder seems to be more significant in T2DM patients. CONCLUSION Despite the fact that several studies have suggested a possible correlation between T2DM and cancer mortality, a more detailed research at both pre-clinical and clinical levels is still required so as to fully understand the intricate relationship and make a precise conclusion.

An In-Depth Study on the Metabolite Profile and Biological Properties of Primula auriculata Extracts: A Fascinating Sparkle on the Way from Nature to Functional Applications. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:1377.

Abstract
The biological activity of the aerial part and rhizomes of Primula auriculata were assessed for the first time. The biological activities (antioxidant properties, enzyme inhibition, and AGE inhibition) as well as the phenolic and flavonoid contents of the ethyl acetate, ethanol, hydro-ethanol and water extracts of P. auriculata aerial parts and rhizomes were determined. Cell viability assays and gelatin zymography were also performed for MMP-2/-9 to determine the molecular mechanisms of action. The gene expression for MMPs was described with RT-PCR. The levels of various proteins, including phospho-Nf-κB, BCL-2, BAX, p-53, and cyclin D1 as well as RAGE were measured using Western blot analysis. The hydro-ethanol extract of the aerial part possessed the highest phenolic (56.81 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (63.92 mg RE/g) contents. In-depth profiling of the specialized metabolites by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) allowed for the identification and annotation of 65 compounds, including phenolic acids and glycosides, flavones, flavonols, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, and saponins. The hydro-ethanol extract of the aerial parts (132.65, 180.87, 172.46, and 108.37 mg TE/g, for the DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, and FRAP assays, respectively) and the ethanol extract of the rhizomes (415.06, 638.30, 477.77, and 301.02 mg TE/g, for the DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, and FRAP assays, respectively) exhibited the highest free radical scavenging and reducing activities. The ethanol and hydro-ethanol extracts of both the P. auriculata aerial part and rhizomes exhibited higher inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, while the hydro-ethanol extracts (1.16 mmol ACAE/g, for both the aerial part and rhizomes extracts) were more active in the inhibition of α-glucosidase. After the treatment of an HT-29 colorectal cancer cell line with the extracts, the apoptosis mechanism was initiated, the integrity of the ECM was remodeled, and cell proliferation was also taken under control. In this way, Primula extracts were shown to be potential drug sources in the treatment of colorectal cancer. They were also detected as natural MMP inhibitors. The findings presented in the present study appraise the bioactivity of P. auriculata, an understudied species. Additional assessment is required to evaluate the cytotoxicity of P. auriculata as well as its activity in ex vivo systems.

Abstract
Glycans are one of the four fundamental macromolecular components of living matter, and they are highly regulated in the cell. Their functions are metabolic, structural and modulatory. In particular, ER resident N-glycans participate with the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 highly conserved sequence, in protein folding process, where the physiological balance between glycosylation/deglycosylation on the innermost glucose residue takes place, according GANAB/UGGT concentration ratio. However, under abnormal conditions, the cell adapts to the glucose availability by adopting an aerobic or anaerobic regimen of glycolysis, or to external stimuli through internal or external recognition patterns, so it responds to pathogenic noxa with unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR can affect Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and several neurological and metabolic diseases via the BiP stress sensor, resulting in ATF6, PERK and IRE1 activation. Furthermore, the abnormal GANAB expression has been observed in MS, systemic lupus erythematous, male germinal epithelium and predisposed highly replicating cells of the kidney tubules and bile ducts. The latter is the case of Polycystic Liver Disease (PCLD) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PCKD), where genetically induced GANAB loss affects polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), resulting in altered protein quality control and cyst formation phenomenon. Our topics resume the role of glycans in cell physiology, highlighting the N-glycans one, as a substrate of GANAB, which is an emerging key molecule in MS and other human pathologies.

Abstract
“Colorectal cancer” (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, posing a scientific challenge and serving as a model for investigating the molecular pathways underlying its development. “Advanced glycation end products” (AGEs) have drawn interest in this context. The buildup of these diverse, chemically complex groups, which are formed by a “non-enzymatic interaction” between reducing sugar and a range of macromolecules, significantly increases “inflammation and oxidative stress” in the body, which has long been associated to cancer formation. The traditional pathways that promote AGE formation, as well as the significance of AGEs’ interaction with the receptor for “advanced glycation end products” (RAGE) and other means involved in CRC initiation and progression, are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Background Glyoxalase system is one of the defense cellular mechanisms that protect cells against endogenous harmful metabolites, mainly methylglyoxal (MG), through conversion of cytotoxic methylglyoxal into the non-toxic lactic acid. Glyoxalase system comprises of two enzymes glyoxalase I, glyoxalase II, and a catalytic amount of reduced glutathione. Cancerous cells overexpress glyoxalase I, making it a target for cancer therapy. Many studies have been conducted to identify potent Glx-I inhibitors. Methods Aiming to discover and develop novel Glx-I inhibitors, a series of 1,4-benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated in vitro against human Glx-I enzyme. Seventeen compounds were designed based on the hit compound that was obtained from searching the National Cancer Institute (NCI) database. The synthesis of the target compounds (13-29) was accomplished utilizing an azo coupling reaction of aniline derivatives and activated substituted aromatic compounds. To understand the binding mode of the active compounds at the active site of Glx-I, docking studies were performed. Results Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies were accomplished which led to the identification of several compounds that showed potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values below 10 μM. Among the compounds tested, compounds (E)-2-hydroxy-5-((4-sulfamoylphenyl)diazenyl)benzoic acid (26) and (E)-4-((8-hydroxyquinolin-5-yl)diazenyl) benzenesulfonamide (28) displayed potent Glx-I inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.39 μM and 1.36 µM, respectively. Docking studies of compounds 26 and 28 were carried out to illustrate the binding mode of the molecules into the Glx-I active site. Conclusion Our results show that compounds 26 and 28 displayed potent Glx-I inhibitory activity and can bind the Glx-I well. These findings should lead us to discover new classes of compounds with better Glx-I inhibition.

Abstract
Carbonyl stress is a condition characterized by an increase in the steady-state levels of reactive carbonyl species (RCS) that leads to accumulation of their irreversible covalent adducts with biological molecules. RCS are generated by the oxidative cleavage and cellular metabolism of lipids and sugars. In addition to causing damage directly, the RCS adducts, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs), cause additional harm by eliciting chronic inflammation through receptor-mediated mechanisms. Hyperglycemia- and dyslipidemia-induced carbonyl stress plays a role in diabetic cardiovascular complications and diabetes-related cancer risk. Moreover, the increased dietary exposure to AGEs/ALEs could mediate the impact of the modern, highly processed diet on cardiometabolic and cancer risk. Finally, the transient carbonyl stress resulting from supraphysiological postprandial spikes in blood glucose and lipid levels may play a role in acute proinflammatory and proatherogenic changes occurring after a calorie dense meal. These findings underline the potential importance of carbonyl stress as a mediator of the cardiometabolic and cancer risk linked to today’s unhealthy diet. In this review, current knowledge in this field is discussed along with future research courses to offer new insights and open new avenues for therapeutic interventions to prevent diet-associated cardiometabolic disorders and cancer.

Abstract
A series of 4-((4-methylphenylsulfonamido)methyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (NaMSCCA) transition metal complexes [Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), and Co(II)] have been synthesized by precipitation method. The characterization was done by physical techniques, FT-IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of nickel (II) AZ-3 and cobalt (II) AZ-5 complexes were determined by the X-ray diffraction technique and found to crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1. The coordination geometry around the central nickel (AZ-3) and cobalt (AZ-5) atoms was square planar bipyramidal. Molecular docking was performed with duplex DNA of sequence d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2 DNA to determine the probable binding mode of compounds. Then these synthesized compounds were used to perform DNA cleavage activity through the agarose gel electrophoresis method. Among the compounds, compounds AZ-1 and AZ-2 exhibited good nuclease activity. The DNA sequence of breast-cancer suppressor gene 1 (BRCA1) was amplified through PCR and interaction studies of compounds AZ-1 and AZ-2 were performed through gel electrophoresis and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The expression analysis of the BRCA1 gene was also performed to quantify the expression relative fold change (2^-(∆∆CT)) after treatment with compounds. All synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant and antiglycation activities and AZ-2 exhibited excellent results. The molecular docking study of these compounds was performed against the protein structure of advanced glycation end products to support the experimental results. Anticancer activity of compounds was performed through MTT assay. Copper and zinc complexes depicted the highest anticancer activity against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) and human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolism of normal prostate relies on glycolysis, with prostate cancer having reduced glycolysis and increased aerobic metabolism. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in tissues as a result of age and glycolytic rate. Differential AGE levels were recently observed in prostate cancer tissues. Herein we sought to quantify AGEs in benign and cancer prostate tissue in a diverse cohort of patients. METHODS Levels of the AGE Nε-(carboxylethyl)lysine (CML) were quantified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a tissue microarray which consisted of 3 cores from tumor and 2 cores from benign areas from 118 patients (87 African American and 31 European American). Ancestry informative markers for African Ancestry were available for 79 patients. Epithelial and stromal areas were quantified separately using an E-cadherin mask. CML levels were compared with clinical grade group and ancestry by mixed linear effect models. Age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, body mass index (BMI), and hemoglobin A1C were included as covariates. RESULTS CML levels were lower in areas of the tumor, for both epithelium and surrounding stroma, compared with benign, but did not significantly change with tumor grade group. Age, PSA levels, BMI, and hemoglobin A1C did not associate with CML levels. CML levels were inversely associated with the percentage of African Ancestry in all tissues. CONCLUSIONS The low CML levels in cancer may reflect the reduced glycolytic state of the tissue. The inverse relationship between African Ancestry and CML levels in both benign and cancer areas suggests a state of reduced glycolysis. It is yet to be determined whether altered glycolysis and CML levels are bystanders or drivers of carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Aging is a main risk factor for many diseases including neurodegenerative disorders. Numerous theories and mechanisms including accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been put forward in explaining brain aging. However, a focused study on the status of AGEs in the brain during progressive aging in connection with interrelated cellular processes like ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), unfolded protein response, autophagy-lysosome system and apoptosis is lacking. Hence, in this study, we investigated the levels of AGEs in the brain of 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-months old WNIN rats. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, UPS components, autophagy flux, neurotrophic and presynaptic markers along with cell death markers were analyzed by immunoblotting. The neuronal architecture was analyzed by H&E and Nissl staining. The results demonstrated progressive accumulation of AGEs in the brain during aging. Adaptive ER stress response was observed by 10-months while maladaptive ER stress response was seen at 15- and 20-months of age along with impaired UPS and autophagy, and perturbations in neuronal growth factors. All these disturbances intensify with age to further exaggerate cell death mechanisms. There was a shrinkage of the cell size with aging and Congo-red staining revealed β-amyloid accumulation in higher ages. Together these results suggest that progressive accumulation of AGEs with aging in the brain may lead to neuronal damage by affecting ER homeostasis, UPS, autophagic flux, and neuronal growth factors.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a toxic, highly reactive metabolite derived mainly from glucose and amino acids degradation. MGO is also one of the prime precursors for advanced glycation end products formation. The present research was performed to check whether MGO has any role in the promotion of cancer in HepG2 cells. For this, cells were incubated with MGO (50 µM) for 24 h and subjected to various analyses. Aminoguanidine (200 µM) was positive control. The various biochemical and protein expression studies, relevant to the MGO detoxification system, oxidative stress, and glycolysis were performed. MGO caused the reduction of expression of GLO 1 (27%) and GLO 2 (11%) causing weakening of the innate detoxification system. This is followed by an increase of RAGE (95%), AGEs or methylglyoxal adducts. We also observed hypoxia via estimation of oxygen consumption rate and surplus reactive oxygen species (ROS) (24%). To investigate the off-target effect of MGO we checked its effect on glucose transport, and its associated proteins. Glucose uptake was found to increase (15%) significantly with overexpression of GLUT 1 (35%). We also found a significant increase of glycolytic enzymes such as hexokinase II, phosphofructokinase 1, and lactate dehydrogenase along with lactate production. Observation of surplus ROS and enhanced glycolysis led us to check the expression of HIF 1α which is their downstream signaling pathway. Interestingly HIF 1α was found to increase significantly (35%). It is known that enhanced glycolysis and oxidative stress are catalysts for the overexpression of HIF 1α which in turn creates an ambience for the promotion of cancer. Aminoguanidine was able to prevent the adverse effect of MGO partially. This is the first study to show the potential of MGO for the promotion of cancer in the non-tumorigenic HepG2 cells via the Warburg effect and glycation.

Abstract
The negatively charged aminophospholipid, phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), is located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in normal cells, and may be exposed to the outer leaflet under some immune and blood coagulation processes. Meanwhile, Ptdser exposed to apoptotic cells can be recognized and eliminated by various immune cells, whereas on the surface of activated platelets Ptdser interacts with coagulation factors prompting enhanced production of thrombin which significantly facilitates blood coagulation. In the case where PtdSer fails in exposure or mistakenly occurs, there are occurrences of certain immunological and haematological diseases, such as the Scott syndrome and Systemic lupus erythematosus. Besides, viruses (e.g., Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Ebola virus (EBOV)) can invade host cells through binding the exposed PtdSer. Most recently, the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been similarly linked to PtdSer or its receptors. Therefore, it is essential to comprehensively understand PtdSer and its functional characteristics. Therefore, this review summarizes Ptdser, its eversion mechanism; interaction mechanism, particularly with its immune receptors and coagulation factors; recognition sites; and its function in immune and blood processes. This review illustrates the potential aspects for the underlying pathogenic mechanism of PtdSer-related diseases, and the discovery of new therapeutic strategies as well.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC), it remains a global health issue affecting millions of women annually. Poor prognosis in BC patients is often linked to drug resistance as well as the lack of effective therapeutic options for metastatic and triple-negative BC. In response to these unmet needs, extensive research efforts have been devoted to exploring the anti-BC potentials of natural products owing to their multi-target mechanisms of action and good safety profiles. Various medicinal plant extracts/essential oils and natural bioactive compounds have demonstrated anti-cancer activities in preclinical BC models. Despite the promising preclinical results, however, the clinical translation of natural products has often been hindered by their poor stability, aqueous solubility and bioavailability. There have been attempts to overcome these limitations, particularly via the use of nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs). This review highlights the tumour targeting mechanisms of NDDSs, the advantages and disadvantages of the major classes of NDDSs and their current clinical status in BC treatment. Besides, it also discusses the proposed anti-BC mechanisms and nanoformulations of nine medicinal plants' extracts/essential oils and nine natural bioactive compounds; selected via the screening of various scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, based on the following keywords: "Natural Product AND Nanoparticle AND Breast Cancer". Overall, these nanoformulations exhibit improved anti-cancer efficacy against preclinical BC models, with some demonstrating biocompatibility with normal cell lines and mouse models. Further clinical studies are, however, warranted to ascertain their efficacy and biocompatibility in humans.

Abstract
Glycation of various biomolecules contributes to structural changes and formation of several high molecular weight fluorescent and non-fluorescent, advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs and glycation are involved in various health complications. Synthetic medicines, including metformin, have several adverse effects. Natural products and their derivatives are used in the treatment of various diseases due to their significant therapeutic qualities. Allium sativum (garlic) is used in traditional medicines because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. This study aimed to determine the anti-glycating and AGEs inhibitory activities of garlic. Biochemical and biophysical analyses were performed for in vitro incubated human serum albumin (HSA) with 0.05 M of glucose for 1, 5, and 10 weeks. Anti-glycating and AGEs inhibitory effect of garlic was investigated in glycated samples. Increased biochemical and biophysical changes were observed in glycated HSA incubated for 10 weeks (G-HSA-10W) as compared to native HSA (N-HSA) as well as glycated HSA incubated for 1 (G-HSA-1W) and 5 weeks (G-HSA-5W). Garlic extract with a concentration of ≥6.25 µg/mL exhibited significant inhibition in biophysical and biochemical changes of G-HSA-10W. Our findings demonstrated that garlic extract has the ability to inhibit biochemical and biophysical changes in HSA that occurred due to glycation. Thus, garlic extract can be used against glycation and AGE-related health complications linked with chronic diseases in diabetic patients due to its broad therapeutic potential.

AGE/Non-AGE Glycation: An Important Event in Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathophysiology. Inflammation 2021; 45:477-496. [PMID: 34787800 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-021-01589-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory, autoimmune disease that gradually affects the synovial membrane and joints. Many intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors are crucial in making RA pathology challenging throughout the disease. Substantial enzymatic or non-enzymatic modification of proteins driving inflammation has gained a lot of interest in recent years. Endogenously modified glycated protein influences disease development linked with AGEs/non-AGEs and is reported as a disease marker. In this review, we summarized current knowledge of the differential abundance of glycated proteins by compiling and analyzing a variety of AGE and non-AGE ligands that bind with RAGE to activate multi-faceted inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways that are pathobiologically associated with RA-fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS). It is critical to comprehend the connection between oxidative stress and inflammation generation, mediated by glycated protein, which may bind to the receptor RAGE, activate downstream pathways, and impart immunogenicity in RA. It is worth noting that AGEs and non-AGEs ligands play a variety of functions, and their functionality is likely to be more reliant on pathogenic states and severity that may serve as biomarkers for RA. Screening and monitoring of these differentially glycated proteins, as well as their stability in circulation, in combination with established pre-clinical characteristics, may aid or predict the onset of RA.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is linked with inflammation, diabetic complications, and advanced glycation end products formation. Intake of flavonoid-rich foods has been reported to have a beneficial effect on human health. The aim of this study was to verify the therapeutic potential of Phyllanthusemblica and Azadiractha indica against glycation and other oxidative stress-induced complications such as inflammation using in vitro study. Ethanol extracts of Phyllanthus emblica fruit pulp and dried leaf of Azadiractha indica were prepared to investigate in vitro anti-inflammatory and anti-glycating potentials. In a DPPH assay, the EC50 value of extract of P. emblica and A. indica was found to be 1532.36 ± 0.17 and 1380.61 ± 0.27 µg/mL, respectively. The FRAP value of P. emblica and A. indica extract was 86.6 and 32.12 µg ascorbic acid/100 mg dry weight of the extract. The maximum percentage of H2O2 scavenging activity was 71.30% and 67.38%, respectively. Extracts of P. emblica and A. indica showed maximum inhibition of heat-induced BSA denaturation by 62.42% and 53.00%, heat-induced denaturation of egg albumin, by 50.84%% and 44.31%, and heat-induced hemolysis by 54.44% and 50.21%. Both extracts (600 µg/mL) significantly reduced the browning, structural changes, aggregation, and AGEs formation. Our biophysical studies confirmed the AGEs formation was inhibiting the potential of extracts. Thus, our findings confirm that these extracts are a rich source of antioxidants and may be utilized to prevent the oxidative stress-induced destruction of biomolecules, glycation, and in the therapy of a variety of health problems, including inflammation. Further, a combination of extracts of P. emblica and A. indica may be extremely useful in preventing and treating health problems.

Sionov RV. Leveling Up the Controversial Role of Neutrophils in Cancer: When the Complexity Becomes Entangled. Cells 2021; 10:cells10092486.

Abstract
Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cell in the circulation of human and act as gatekeepers to discard foreign elements that have entered the body. They are essential in initiating immune responses for eliminating invaders, such as microorganisms and alien particles, as well as to act as immune surveyors of cancer cells, especially during the initial stages of carcinogenesis and for eliminating single metastatic cells in the circulation and in the premetastatic organs. Since neutrophils can secrete a whole range of factors stored in their many granules as well as produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species upon stimulation, neutrophils may directly or indirectly affect carcinogenesis in both the positive and negative directions. An intricate crosstalk between tumor cells, neutrophils, other immune cells and stromal cells in the microenvironment modulates neutrophil function resulting in both anti- and pro-tumor activities. Both the anti-tumor and pro-tumor activities require chemoattraction towards the tumor cells, neutrophil activation and ROS production. Divergence is seen in other neutrophil properties, including differential secretory repertoire and membrane receptor display. Many of the direct effects of neutrophils on tumor growth and metastases are dependent on tight neutrophil–tumor cell interactions. Among them, the neutrophil Mac-1 interaction with tumor ICAM-1 and the neutrophil L-selectin interaction with tumor-cell sialomucins were found to be involved in the neutrophil-mediated capturing of circulating tumor cells resulting in increased metastatic seeding. On the other hand, the anti-tumor function of neutrophils was found to rely on the interaction between tumor-surface-expressed receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and Cathepsin G expressed on the neutrophil surface. Intriguingly, these two molecules are also involved in the promotion of tumor growth and metastases. RAGE is upregulated during early inflammation-induced carcinogenesis and was found to be important for sustaining tumor growth and homing at metastatic sites. Cathepsin G was found to be essential for neutrophil-supported lung colonization of cancer cells. These data level up the complexity of the dual role of neutrophils in cancer.

Abstract
Cancers are regarded as one of the main causes of death and result in high health burden worldwide. The management of cancer include chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. The chemotherapy, which involves the use of chemical agents with cytotoxic actions is utilised as a single treatment or combined treatment. However, these managements of cancer such as chemotherapy poses some setbacks such as cytotoxicity on normal cells and the problem of anticancer drug resistance. Therefore, the use of other therapeutic agents such as antidiabetic drugs is one of the alternative interventions used in addressing some of the limitations in the use of anticancer agents. Antidiabetic drugs such as sulfonylureas, biguanides and thiazolidinediones showed beneficial and repurposing actions in the management of cancer, thus, the activities of these drugs against cancer is attributed to some of the metabolic links between the two disorders and these includes hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress as well as obesity. Furthermore, some studies showed that the use of antidiabetic drugs could serve as risk factors for the development of cancerous cells particularly pancreatic cancer. However, the beneficial role of these chemical agents overweighs their detrimental actions in cancer management. Hence, the present review indicates the metabolic links between cancer and diabetes and the mechanistic actions of antidiabetic drugs in the management of cancers.

Abstract
A substantial body of literature has provided evidence that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and colorectal neoplasia share several common factors. Both diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide and have an increasing incidence. In addition to usual risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and family history, common pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the development of these diseases have been identified. These include changes in glucose metabolism associated with adipose tissue dysfunction including insulin resistance resulting to hyperinsulinemia and chronic hyperglycemia. In addition to altered glucose metabolism, abdominal obesity has been associated with accented carcinogenesis with chronic subclinical inflammation. An increasing number of studies have recently described the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic diseases including T2DM and the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Due to the interconnectedness of different pathophysiological processes, it is not entirely clear which factor is crucial in the development of carcinogenesis in patients with T2DM. The aim of this work is to review the current knowledge on the pathophysiological mechanisms of colorectal neoplasia development in individuals with T2DM. Here, we review the potential pathophysiological processes involved in the onset and progression of colorectal neoplasia in patients with T2DM. Uncovering common pathophysiological characteristics is essential for understanding the nature of these diseases and may lead to effective treatment and prevention.
