Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation increases with metabolic disorders, leading to higher serum AGE levels in patients with progressive vascular complications. Measuring AGE levels in biological samples requires multiple pre-analytical processing steps, rendering analysis of multiple samples challenging. This study evaluated the progression of diabetic complications by analyzing AGE levels using a pre-analytical processing strategy based on a fully automated solid phase-extraction system. Serum samples from patients with diabetes, with or without macrovascular complications (Mac or non-Mac) or microvascular complications (Mic or non-Mic), were processed with the established methods. Free and total AGE levels in sera were measured using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In patients with diabetes, both free and total AGE levels were elevated in those with complications compared to those without complications. In Mac and Mic groups, free and total AGE levels and z-scores (the sum of normalized AGE levels) also increased. AGE z-scores were markedly higher than those of single AGE levels in distinguishing each complication. Our study demonstrated that the free AGE z-score, measured using a new analytical method without hydrolysis, correlated with the presence of vascular complications and may serve as a marker of disease complications.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus increases oxidative stress due to hyperglycemia, resulting in the degeneration of rotator cuff tissue. Currently, there is no established method to non-invasively assess the extent of this oxidative stress. To address this, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), a marker of oxidative stress, and transcutaneous autofluorescence intensity in rotator cuff tissue harvested from diabetic rats. Ten control Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (n = 10 per group) were used. The rats were euthanized eight and 16 weeks after the induction of diabetes, and rotator cuff attachment sites were collected and histologically analyzed. Prior to euthanasia, autofluorescence intensity was measured transcutaneously in the rotator cuff area. The expressions of AGEs and type I collagen were evaluated immunohistochemically with specific antibodies and the stained areas were quantified. All data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation analysis was performed for skin autofluorescence intensity and the percentage of AGEs staining area using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The immunohistochemical expression of AGEs at the rotator cuff attachment sites and transcutaneous AGEs measurements were significantly higher in diabetic rats than in the control group at 16 weeks. There was no significant difference in the level of type 1 collagen between the two groups. This study reveals that the accumulation of AGEs in rotator cuff tissue increases due to prolonged hyperglycemia in diabetes. In addition, transcutaneous skin fluorescence intensity may be related to histological oxidative stress at the rotator cuff.

Abstract
Clinical trials have revealed that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors suppress the onset of heart failure and cardiovascular death in diabetic patients. On the other hand, few reports have been published concerning such effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. We undertook the present study to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors on the advanced glycation end products (AGEs), well known as a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disorders.Type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into two groups and treated with either SGLT2 inhibitors or DPP-4 inhibitors for 3 months. Before and after the 3-month treatment period with each drug, the AGEs and diabetes-related parameters were measured. Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone-1 (MG-H1) was measured as one of the AGEs.In the SGLT2 inhibitor group, both the blood HbA1c and MG-H1 levels decreased significantly after the 3-month treatment period. In the DPP-4 inhibitor group, only the blood HbA1c level decreased significantly, with no significant change of the blood MG-H1 level.SGLT2 inhibitor reduced both the blood levels of HbA1c and AGEs (MG-H1). Considering that the blood levels of AGEs are associated with the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular disorders, the results of the present study suggest that the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in suppressing cardiovascular death might be mediated by the reduction in the blood levels of AGEs induced by this class of drugs. DPP-4 inhibitors showed no significant effects on the blood levels of AGEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in the body with increasing age. However, their excessive accumulation may lead to various inflammatory and chronic diseases. While it is common for older adults to experience various comorbidities, there is a scarcity of published literature documenting the specific impact of ageing and comorbidities on AGEs in this population. The present study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the correlation among AGEs in the skin, calendar age, and comorbidities in older adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS Accumulated AGEs in the skin were assessed by non-invasive measurement of skin autofluorescence (SAF) inside the forearm. This retrospective study included individuals who underwent SAF measurements at Shujitsu University Community Pharmacy with or without a prescription from October 2019 to October 2021. Subsequently, the associations between SAF, calendar age, comorbidities, and blood test parameters were investigated. RESULTS SAF showed a positive correlation with calendar age for all enrolled participants; the correlation weakened for participants aged ≥50 years and plateaued for those aged ≥60 years. Furthermore, we observed a significant increase in SAF among all participants with comorbidities compared to those without comorbidities. By contrast, among participants aged ≥50 years, SAF did not show a significant association with comorbidities. However, SAF was significantly positively correlated with white blood cell (WBC) counts in these aged populations. CONCLUSION The non-invasive assessment of SAF holds promise in evaluating changes in the physical condition associated with WBC counts among older adults.

Association between fingertip-measured advanced glycation end products and cardiovascular events in outpatients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:213. [PMID: 37592261 PMCID: PMC10436644 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01953-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between the AGEs measured by an AGEs sensor noninvasively at the fingertip and prognosis in patients with CVD remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between AGEs score and prognosis among patients with CVD. METHODS A total of 191 outpatients with CVD were included. AGEs score were measured using an AGEs sensor and the patients were classified into groups by the median value of AGEs score. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 30 months was compared between high- and low-AGEs score groups. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to calculate cutoff value for the AGEs score, which discriminates the occurrence of MACCE. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with the presence of MACCE. MACCE included cardiac death, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, heart failure, and stroke. RESULTS AGEs score was normally distributed, with a median value of 0.51. No significant intergroup differences were found in laboratory findings, physical functions, or medications. The high-AGEs score group had a significantly higher incidence of MACCE than the low-AGEs score group (27.1 vs. 10.5%, P = 0.007). A high-AGEs score was a risk factor for MACCE (hazard ratio, 2.638; 95% confidence interval, 1.271-5.471; P = 0.009). After the adjustment for confounders other than 6-min walking distance, the AGEs score remained a factor associated with the occurrence of MACCE. The best cutoff AGEs score for the detection of MACCE was 0.51 (area under the curve, 0.642; P = 0.008; sensitivity, 72.2%; specificity, 54.8%). CONCLUSIONS AGEs score measured at the fingertip in patients with CVD is associated with MACCE. AGEs score, which can be measured noninvasively and easily, may be useful as an assessment for the secondary prevention of CVD in patients with CVD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the airways and lungs due to an enhanced inflammatory response, commonly caused by cigarette smoking. Patients with COPD are often multimorbid, as they commonly suffer from multiple chronic (inflammatory) conditions. This intensifies the burden of individual diseases, negatively affects quality of life, and complicates disease management. COPD and comorbidities share genetic and lifestyle-related risk factors and pathobiological mechanisms, including chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is an important driver of chronic inflammation. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are RAGE ligands that accumulate due to aging, inflammation, oxidative stress, and carbohydrate metabolism. AGEs cause further inflammation and oxidative stress through RAGE, but also through RAGE-independent mechanisms. This review describes the complexity of RAGE signaling and the causes of AGE accumulation, followed by a comprehensive overview of alterations reported on AGEs and RAGE in COPD and in important co-morbidities. Furthermore, it describes the mechanisms by which AGEs and RAGE contribute to the pathophysiology of individual disease conditions and how they execute crosstalk between organ systems. A section on therapeutic strategies that target AGEs and RAGE and could alleviate patients from multimorbid conditions using single therapeutics concludes this review.

Abstract
Mitochondrial stress increases the production of fumarate, an intermediate of the Krebs cycle. Fumarate non-enzymatically reacts with the thiol group of cysteine, leading to the production of S-(2-succinyl)cysteine. Here, we quantified the concentration of fumarate, the free form of S-(2-succinyl)cysteine, and advanced glycation end-products, including N ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine and N δ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine, in the serum of chronic kidney disease patients, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and an enzymatic assay. In a cross-sectional study, we evaluated the difference in metabolite concentration between healthy individuals (n = 22) and kidney transplant patients (n = 93). Additionally, we evaluated the metabolite concentration of end-stage renal disease patients (n = 17) before and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after transplantation, in a longitudinal study. While the S-(2-succinyl)cysteine and AGEs levels were significantly increased in accordance with the rising chronic kidney disease severity, they were significantly decreased after transplantation. However, fumarate levels were only significantly different in end-stage renal disease patients. The S-(2-succinyl)cysteine levels correlated with the pre-existing kidney function marker. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial metabolic disorders contribute to impaired kidney function, and that measuring blood S-(2-succinyl)cysteine levels may be a minimally invasive way to evaluate the metabolic change in chronic kidney disease.

Noninvasive Skin Autofluorescence of Advanced Glycation End Products for Detecting Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament in the Thoracic Spine. Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 2023; 48:E40-E45. [PMID: 36692158 DOI: 10.1097/brs.0000000000004516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A single-center prospective observational study. OBJECTIVE The aim was to clarify the usefulness of assessing advanced glycation end products (AGEs) by noninvasive skin autofluorescence in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA AGE accumulation is associated with various systemic disorders, including aging, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. AGEs have also been associated with OPLL, but their assessment by noninvasive skin autofluorescence has not been yet studied in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled patients with degenerative spinal spondylosis and divided them into non-OPLL and OPLL groups. The OPLL group was further subdivided into cervical OPLL (C-OPLL) and thoracic OPLL (T-OPLL) groups. We compared patients' characteristics, serum laboratory data (i.e. hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate), and the skin autofluorescence intensity of AGEs (the AGE score) between the non-OPLL and OPLL groups and among the non-OPLL, C-OPLL, T-OPLL groups. Finally, the association of the AGE score with the presence of C-OPLL or T-OPLL was assessed by multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS Among the 240 eligible patients, 102 were in the non-OPLL group and 138 were in the OPLL group (92 with C-OPLL and 46 with T-OPLL). We observed no significant difference in the AGE score between the non-OPLL and OPLL groups, but when comparing the score among the non-OPLL, C-OPLL, and T-OPLL groups, we found that the T-OPLL group had a significantly higher AGE score. The results of multinomial regression analysis showed that a higher AGE score was significantly associated with T-OPLL (odds ratio: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.01-2.11; P=0.044). CONCLUSION The AGE score determined by noninvasive skin autofluorescence could help to screen for OPLL in the thoracic spine.

Abstract
Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been shown to accumulate in bone and are gaining interest in connective tissue research. Aims: To investigate the intrarater reliability, two-timepoint agreement and correlations within and between two commercially available skin autofluorescence (SAF) AGE devices. Methods: Healthy volunteers were enrolled in a prospective study at a single academic institution. Each participant underwent SAF analysis by two different, commercially available devices on two occasions, 14 days apart. Upon enrollment, a general survey about the participant’s lifestyle and health status was completed and followed up on for any changes at timepoint two. Results: In total, 40 participants (F:M ratio 5:3) with an average age of 39.0 ± 12.5 years were analyzed. For the AGE reader (skin) and AGE sensor (fingertip), both intrarater reliability and two-timepoint agreement were excellent with an interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) > 0.90 and a strong correlation within both machines. However, there was no correlation between both machines for either timepoint. In total, 4 participants were identified as outliers above the +2SD. Additionally, 5 participants with dark-colored skin could not be measured with the AGE reader at timepoint one and 4 at timepoint two. In contrast, all participants were able to undergo SAF analysis with the AGE sensor, irrespective of their skin type. Conclusions: Both machines showed excellent intrarater reliability and two-timepoint agreement, but the skin AGE reader might have limited applicability in individuals with dark-colored skin. Future research on AGEs might take our findings into consideration.

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
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and carotenoids, the major prooxidants and antioxidants in vivo, respectively, are thought to be associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). To estimate AGEs and carotenoid levels simultaneously in patients with DM, we used noninvasive fingertip skin sensors. The study population included 249 eyes of 249 Japanese subjects (130 men, 119 women; mean age ± standard deviation, 69.9 ± 12.0 years). Ninety-three patients had DM, which included diabetic retinopathy (DR) (n = 44) and no DR (NDR) (n = 49), and 156 controls. Compared to the controls (0.44 ± 0.07 arbitrary unit (A.U.)), the AGEs scores were significantly higher in DM (0.47 ± 0.09, p = 0.029) and DR (0.49 ± 0.08, p = 0.0006) patients; no difference was seen between NDR (0.45 ± 0.09, p = 0.83) and controls. Multivariate analyses indicated that a higher AGEs level is a risk factor for DR (r = 0.030, p = 0.0025). However, the carotenoid scores did not differ in any comparisons between the controls (327.7 ± 137.0 O.D.) and patients with DM (324.7 ± 126.4, p = 0.86), NDR (320.4 ± 123.6, p = 0.93), or DR (329.4 ± 130.8, p = 0.93). The carotenoid scores correlated negatively with the AGEs scores (r = −0.21, p = 0.0007), and reflected the Veggie intake score (p < 0.0001). In patients with DM, estimations of AGEs and carotenoid levels using skin sensors can be useful for assessing their risk of DR and vegetable intake, respectively.

Abstract
This pilot study tested the effects of the supplements containing water chestnut extract and carotenoids on antiglycation and carotenoid levels. Twenty Japanese subjects (mean age, 67 ± 7 years; 13 men) ingested 200 mg of Tarpa bispinosa Roxb. extract (containing >50 mg of polyphenols), 20 mg of lutein, and 3 mg of zeaxanthin daily for 3 months. Advanced glycation end product (AGEs) levels were estimated by fingertip skin autofluorescence using the AGEs Sensor; carotenoid levels were estimated by pressure-mediated reflection spectroscopy of the fingertips using the Veggie Meter. Compared to baseline, the mean AGEs score decreased significantly (0.55 ± 0.04 arbitrary units (AU) vs. 0.52 ± 0.07 AU, p = 0.03); the mean carotenoid score increased significantly (256 ± 68 optical density (OD) vs. 302 ± 109 OD, p = 0.02) at 3 months. Blood pressure, body weight, visual acuity, refractive error, and intraocular pressure were equivalent between baseline and 3 months. Compared to baseline, 13 (65%) patients had decreased AGEs scores, and 14 (70%) had increased carotenoid scores at 3 months; 9 (45%) subjects had both decreased AGEs scores and increased carotenoid scores, and two (10%) subjects had an inverse response. Co-administration of water chestnut extract and lutein for 3 months decreased the AGEs and increased the carotenoids estimated in the fingertip skin of humans.

Abstract
Carotenoids have antioxidant properties, and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is associated with reactive oxygen species production; they have attracted attention as factors predictive of the onset and progression in glaucoma. Fingertip measurement is applicable for carotenoids and AGEs due to its noninvasiveness and simplicity. The study included 663 eyes of 663 Japanese subjects (357 males, 306 females). The mean age was 69.9 years with a standard deviation of 11.0. The study population comprised participants with primary open-angle glaucoma (PG) (n = 358), exfoliation glaucoma (EG) (n = 168), and controls (n = 137). Multivariate models suggested that lower skin carotenoid (SC) levels were associated with male gender (standard β = −0.14), AGE scores (−0.24), and a history of intraocular surgery (−0.22). Higher SC levels were associated with higher vegetable intake scores (0.21 for score 3) and diabetes (0.10). However, no association was seen between SCs and glaucoma type. AGEs levels were negatively associated with carotenoid scores (−0.25), PG (−0.15), and smoking habits (−0.26) and positively correlated with EG (0.14). SCs and AGEs were negatively correlated in the single regression analysis (r = −0.20, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, higher levels of AGEs may be candidates for systemic biomarkers of glaucoma associated with the exfoliation syndrome. SC levels can reflect self-reported daily vegetable intake.

Abstract
Sensitivity, specificity, mobility, and affordability are important criteria to consider for developing diagnostic instruments in common use. Fluorescence spectroscopy has been demonstrating substantial potential in the clinical diagnosis of diseases and evaluating the underlying causes of pathogenesis. A higher degree of device integration with appropriate sensitivity and reasonable cost would further boost the value of the fluorescence techniques in clinical diagnosis and aid in the reduction of healthcare expenses, which is a key economic concern in emerging markets. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are inexpensive and smaller are attractive alternatives to conventional excitation sources in fluorescence spectroscopy, are gaining a lot of momentum in the development of affordable, compact analytical instruments of clinical relevance. The commercial availability of a broad range of LED wavelengths (255-4600 nm) has opened up new avenues for targeting a wide range of clinically significant molecules (both endogenous and exogenous), thereby diagnosing a range of clinical illnesses. As a result, we have specifically examined the uses of LED-induced fluorescence (LED-IF) in preclinical and clinical evaluations of pathological conditions, considering the present advancements in the field.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with diabetes and its complications. AGEs are formed by the non-enzymatic reactions of proteins and reducing sugars, such as glucose and ribose. Ribose is widely used in glycation research as it generates AGEs more rapidly than glucose. This study analyzed the AGE structures generated from ribose-modified protein by liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Among these AGEs, Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1) was the most abundant in ribose-glycated bovine serum albumin (ribated-BSA) among others, such as Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine, Nε-(carboxyethyl) lysine, and Nω-(carboxymethyl) arginine. Surprisingly, MG-H1 was produced by ribated-BSA in a time-dependent manner, whereas methylglyoxal levels (MG) were under the detectable level. In addition, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. hot water extract (TBE) possesses several anti-oxidative compounds, such as ellagic acid, and has been reported to inhibit the formation of MG-H1 in vivo. Thus, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of TBE on MG-H1 formation using ribose- or MG-modified proteins. TBE inhibited MG-H1 formation in gelatin incubated with ribose and ribated-BSA, but not in MG-modified gelatin. Furthermore, MG-H1 formation was inhibited by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. These results demonstrated that ribose reacts with proteins to generate Amadori compounds and form MG-H1 via oxidation.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is widely documented for osteogenic differentiation defect and impaired bone quality, which is related to the skeletal accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Prediabetes is a condition in which hyperglycemia is lower than the threshold for the diagnosis of diabetes. Prediabetic animal models consistently demonstrate impaired osteogenic differentiation and deteriorated bone microarchitecture. However, no evidence shows defects in osteoblast development and skeletal effects of AGEs in prediabetic individuals. Therefore, it remains to be elucidated whether impaired osteogenic differentiation ability and altered cellular response to AGEs occur in patients with prediabetes. This cross-sectional study included 28 patients with prediabetes as defined by impaired fasting glucose criteria, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) between 100-125 mg/dl and 17 age-matched normoglycemic controls to elucidate osteogenic differentiation and AGER expression in the PBMC derived from those individuals. The PBMC-isolated from both groups showed similar rates of expression of osteoblast-specific genes, namely, ALPL, BGLAP, COL1A1, and RUNX2/PPAR (89.3% and 88.2%, p = 1.000), and showed comparable levels of expression of those genes. By using age- and pentosidine-matched normoglycemic individuals as references, the PBMC-isolated from prediabetic patients demonstrated lower expression of both AGER and BAX/BCL2. The expression of AGER and BAX/BCL2 significantly correlated to each other (r = 0.986, p <0.0001). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that serum pentosidine is an independent risk factor for AGER expression. With logistic regression analysis, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for serum pentosidine at the cut-off level of 2.1 ng/ml and FPG at 100 mg/dl, which is a cut-off point for prediabetes, was significantly higher for predicting AGER expression than that of serum pentosidine alone (0.803 vs 0.688, p = 0.048), indicating that serum pentosidine was a good predictor of AGER expression in prediabetic individuals. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a preserved osteogenic differentiation in the PBMC derived from prediabetic individuals. In addition, those PBMC with preserved osteogenic differentiation potential showed the suppression of both cellular RAGE and apoptotic-related signals. Serum pentosidine was an independent risk factor for cellular RAGE expression and is conceivably a good predictor for AGER suppression in prediabetic individuals.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), produced by the Maillard reaction between carbohydrates and proteins, may be involved in diabetes and its complications. Accurate quantification of AGEs in vivo can demonstrate the relation between AGEs and pathological conditions, but it is not widely used in clinical practice because of the multiple pretreatment steps before analyses. We developed a fully automated solid-phase extraction system (FSPES) to simplify rate-limiting pretreatment using a cation exchange column. We applied this device to evaluate AGEs in nephropathy. Among the standard samples, we used arginine, lysine, Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), Nω-(carboxymethyl)arginine (CMA), Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL), and Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1) for FSPES. We analyzed the coefficient of variation (CV) by mass spectrometry. FSPES performed column operations rapidly at a pressure three times higher compared with the conventional method. FSPES stably performed pretreatment. CV results for CML, CMA, CEL, and MG-H1 measurements in bovine and human serum were the same as those in the conventional pretreatment. Among the AGE structures we measured, CML and CEL increased with the decline in kidney function. The CML and CEL levels of patients with nephropathy were significantly higher than those in normal subjects. Thus, FSPES is useful for clarifying the relation between AGEs and various pathological conditions.

Fingertip advanced glycation end products and psychotic symptoms among adolescents. NPJ SCHIZOPHRENIA 2021; 7:37.

Abstract
Case control studies have suggested that advanced glycation end products play a key role in the pathophysiology of chronic schizophrenia. However, the longitudinal association between advanced glycation end products and psychotic symptoms among drug-naïve adolescents remains unclear. This study examined whether advanced glycation end products could predict the trajectory of psychotic symptoms in drug-naive adolescents using data from prospective population-based biomarker subsample study of the Tokyo Teen Cohort. A total of 277 community-dwelling adolescents aged 13 years without antipsychotic medication were analyzed. Fingertip advanced glycation end products were measured in adolescents using noninvasive technology that can be used quickly. The trajectory of psychotic symptoms in a 12-month follow-up was assessed by experienced psychiatrists using a semi-structured interview. Of the 277 participants, 13 (4.7%) experienced persistent psychotic symptoms (psychotic symptoms at baseline and follow-up), 65 (23.5%) experienced transient psychotic symptoms (psychotic symptoms at baseline or follow-up), and 199 (71.8%) did not have psychotic symptoms. Multinomial logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex revealed that baseline fingertip advanced glycation end products might predict the risk of persistent psychotic symptoms (odds ratio = 1.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.69; P = 0.03). Altogether, fingertip advanced glycation end products potentially predicted the trajectory of psychotic symptoms among drug-naive adolescents, which indicated its involvement in the pathophysiology of early psychosis. Further studies are required to identify strategies to reduce adolescent advanced glycation end products, which may contribute to preventing the onset of psychosis.

Abstract
Preclinical studies have found impaired osteogenic differentiation to be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), which is related to skeletal accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Our previous study also showed impaired osteogenic differentiation in peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from patients with long-standing T2DM, which is conceivably due to the overexpression of receptor of advance glycation end products (RAGE) and the enhancement of cellular apoptosis. However, the existence of RAGE overexpression in earlier stages of diabetes remains unclear, as do the factors influencing that RAGE overexpression. This cross-sectional study enrolled 40 patients with T2DM treated with metformin monotherapy and 30 age-matched non-diabetic controls (NDM) to investigate the overexpression of RAGE in PBMC derived from patients with earlier stage diabetes, as well as to explore its determining factors. Almost all (90%) PBMC-isolated from NDM (NDM-pD) expressed osteoblast-specific genes including ALPL, BGLAP, COL1A1, and RUNX2/PPAR while only 40% of PBMC-derived from diabetic patients (DM-pD) expressed those genes. By using age- and pentosidine-matched NDM-pD as a reference, AGER and BAX/BCL2 expression in PBMC isolated from diabetic patients showing impaired osteoblast-specific gene expression (DM-iD) were 6.6 and 5 folds higher than the reference while AGER and BAX/BCL2 expression in DM-pD were comparable to the reference. AGER expression showed a significant positive correlation with age (r=0.470, p=0.003). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that both age and AGER expression correlated with the potential for osteogenic differentiation in the PBMC isolated from patients with diabetes. In conclusion, this study showed osteogenic differentiation impairment in approximately half of PBMC derived from type 2 diabetic patients receiving metformin monotherapy. Both AGER and BAX/BCL2 overexpression were demonstrated only in PBMC-isolated from diabetic patients with poor osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, this study not only illustrated the existence of RAGE overexpression in PBMC derived from patients with early stages of T2DM but also strengthened the linkage between that RAGE overexpression and the retardation of osteogenic differentiation. Age was also shown to be a positive influencing factor for RAGE overexpression. Furthermore, both age and RAGE overexpression were demonstrated as independent risk factors for determining osteogenic differentiation potential of the PBMC-isolated from T2DM.

Evaluation of Relevance between Advanced Glycation End Products and Diabetic Retinopathy Stages Using Skin Autofluorescence. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9111100.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are thought to play important roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathy, particularly in the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We assessed the levels of skin autofluorescence (sAF) to assess the association between AGEs and DR stages. A total of 394 eyes of 394 Japanese subjects (172 men, 222 women; mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 68.4 ± 13.7 years) comprised the study population, i.e., subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) (n = 229) and non-diabetic controls (n = 165). The patients with DM were divided into those without DR (NDR, n = 101) and DR (n = 128). DR included simple (SDR, n = 36), pre-proliferative (PPDR, n = 25), and PDR (n = 67). Compared to controls (0.52 ± 0.12), the AGE scores were significantly higher in patients with DM (0.59 ± 0.17, p < 0.0001), NDR (0.58 ± 0.16, p = 0.0012), and DR (0.60 ± 0.18, p < 0.0001). The proportion of patients with PDR was significantly higher in the highest quartile of AGE scores than the other quartiles (p < 0.0001). Compared to those without PDR (SDR and PPDR), those with PDR were younger (p = 0.0006), more were pseudophakic (p < 0.0001), had worse visual acuity (VA) (p < 0.0001), had higher intraocular pressure (IOP) (p < 0.0001), and had higher AGE scores (p = 0.0016). Multivariate models also suggested that younger age, male gender, pseudophakia, worse VA, higher IOP, and higher AGE scores were risk factors for PDR. The results suggested that AGE scores were higher in patients with DM and were independently associated with progression of DR. In addition, more PDR was seen in the highest quartile of AGE scores. This study highlights the clinical use of the AGE score as a non-invasive, reliable marker to identity patients at risk of sight-threatening DR.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are the products of a non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and other macromolecules, are critical in aging, as well as metabolic and degenerative diseases. To assess the involvement of AGEs in glaucoma, skin autofluorescence (sAF) level, which is a measurement of AGEs' accumulation, was compared among Japanese patients with glaucoma (316 with primary open-angle glaucoma (PG) and 127 exfoliation syndrome and glaucoma (EG)) and controls (133 nonglaucomatous controls) (mean age 71.6 ± 12.8 years, 254 men and 322 women). The sAF values were estimated from the middle fingertip using a 365 nm light-emitting diode for excitation and detection at 440 nm emission light. The estimated AGE values (arbitrary unit) were 0.56 ± 0.15, 0.56 ± 0.11, and 0.61 ± 0.11 in the control, PG, and EG groups, respectively (p < 0.0001, analysis of variance); and were significantly higher in the EG group than the control (p = 0.0007) and PG (p < 0.0001) groups. After adjustment for various demographic parameters by multivariate analyses, male sex (standard β = 0.23), EG (0.19), and diabetes (0.09) were associated with higher AGE levels; PG (-0.18) and smoking (-0.19) were associated with lower AGE levels. Age, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, glaucoma medications, lens status, and systemic hypertension were not associated with AGEs. The high AGE level in EG suggested that specific oxidation and glycation mechanisms underlie the glaucoma pathogenesis associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accumulation of advanced glycation end product (AGE) might exert deleterious effects on musculoskeletal properties. Our study aims to clarify this possible association in a large general population. METHODS This study investigated a general population of 9,203 patients (mean age, 57.8 years). Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, whereas accumulation of AGEs was assessed by skin autofluorescence (SAF-AGE). The muscle strength of upper and lower limbs and usual gait speed were measured in a portion of older (≥60 years of age) participants (n = 1,934). The speed of sound (SOS) in the calcaneal bone was assessed via a quantitative ultrasound technique. RESULTS In the total population, the frequency of low skeletal muscle mass linearly increased with the SAF-AGE quartiles (Q1: 14.2%, Q2: 16.1%, Q3: 21.1%, Q4: 24.8%; p < .001), and this association was independent of covariates including glycemic traits (Q4: odds ratio [OR] = 1.48, p < .001). The association between the highest SAF-AGE quartile and low skeletal muscle mass remained significant in the older subpopulation (OR = 1.85, p = .002). A similar but weak association was observed for low SOS (Q1: 8.9%, Q2: 8.3%, Q3: 10.4%, Q4: 12.2%; p < .001). Similar inverse associations were also observed with grip strength (OR = 1.98, p = .003), hip flexion strength (OR = 1.50, p = .012), and hip abduction strength (OR = 1.78, p = .001), but not with usual gait speed. CONCLUSION Accumulation of AGEs might be a deleterious factor for musculoskeletal properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin autofluorescence has been used to assess longer term glycemic control and risk of complications. There is however no agreed site at which autofluorescence should be measured. This study evaluated the within- and between-site agreement in measurement of skin autofluorescence using a noninvasive advanced glycation end product (AGE) reader. METHODS Overall, 132 participants were included: 16 with diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFU), 63 with diabetes but without foot ulcers (DMC), 53 without diabetes or foot ulcers (HC). Skin autofluorescence was measured using the AGE Reader (DiagnOptics technologies BV, the Netherlands). Three consecutive skin autofluorescence measurements were each performed at six different body sites: the volar surfaces of both forearms (arms), dorsal surfaces of both calves (legs), and plantar surfaces of both feet (feet). Within- and between-site agreements were analyzed with concordance correlation coefficients (CCC) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), absolute mean differences (±standard deviation), and Bland-Altman limits of agreement. RESULTS The agreement between repeat assessments at the same site was almost perfect (CCC [95% CI] ranging from 0.94 [0.91-0.96] for assessments in the right foot to 0.99 [0.99-0.99] for assessments in the left arm). The limits of agreement were narrow within ±0.5 arbitrary units for all sites. The between-site agreement in measurements was poor (CCC < 0.65) with large maximum absolute mean differences (±SD) in arbitrary units (DFU = 3.40 [±2.04]; DMC = 3.15 [±2.45]; HC = 2.72 [±1.83]) and wide limits of agreement. CONCLUSIONS Skin autofluorescence measurements can be repeated at the same site with adequate repeatability but measurements at different sites in the same patient have marked differences. The reason for this variation across sites and whether this has any role in diabetes-related complications needs further investigation.

Abstract
Acute and chronic wounds affect millions and are associated with billions of dollars in healthcare costs. The use of healing markers, biochemical cues from biocompatible matrices and materials, and their correlation with wound healing has the potential to generate valuable diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information. In this study, we developed a collagen-dextran oxygen-sensing biocomposite scaffold membrane in which a phosphorescent oxygen sensor was incorporated to monitor physiological oxygen using in vivo phosphorescence imaging in a preclinical mouse model of wound healing. The oxygen-sensing biocomposite scaffold membrane enabled the noninvasive and longitudinal monitoring of oxygenation changes in vivo in an approach compatible with commercially available preclinical in vivo imaging system instruments. This study provides a new and novel capability where a biocomposite material can serve as a biocompatible, biodegradable theranostic platform to promote and assess tissue oxygenation during wound healing.

Abstract
Skin auto fluorescence (SAF) is used as a proxy for the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and has been proposed to stratify patients into cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) risk groups. This study evaluates the effects of seven different ethnicities (Arab, Central-East African, Eastern Mediterranean, European, North African, South Asian and Southeast Asian) and gender on SAF as well as validating SAF assessment as a risk estimation tool for CVD and DM in an Arabian cohort. SAF data from self-reported healthy 2,780 individuals, collated from three independent studies, has been linear modelled using age and gender as a covariate. A cross-study harmonized effect size (Cohens’d) is provided for each ethnicity. Furthermore, new data has been collected from a clinically well-defined patient group of 235 individuals, to evaluate SAF as a clinical tool for DM and CVD-risk estimation in an Arab cohort. In an Arab population, SAF-based CVD and/or DM risk-estimation can be improved by referencing to ethnicity and gender-specific SAF values. Highest SAF values were observed for the North African population, followed by East Mediterranean, Arab, South Asian and European populations. The South Asian population had a slightly steeper slope in SAF values with age compared to other ethnic groups. All ethnic groups except Europeans showed a significant gender effect. When compared with a European group, effect size was highest for Eastern Mediterranean group and lowest for South Asian group. The Central-East African and Southeast Asian ethnicity matched closest to the Arab and Eastern Mediterranean ethnicities, respectively. Ethnic and gender-specific data improves performance in SAF-based CVD and DM risk estimation. The provided harmonized effect size allows a direct comparison of SAF in different ethnicities. For the first time, gender differences in SAF are described for North African and East Mediterranean populations.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of combined effect of body mass index and waist-to-height ratio on risk of diabetes. Overweight and abdominal obesity were defined as body mass index ≥23 kg/m2 and waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5, respectively. We divided participants into four groups according to presence of overweight and/or abdominal obesity. About 20% individuals with overweight did not complicated with an abdominal obesity. Among 3,737 participants, 286 participants had diabetes at baseline-examination. Adjusted odds ratios for prevalence of diabetes compared with non-overweight participants without abdominal obesity were as follow: 1.87 (95% confidence interval 1.09-3.14, p = 0.024) in non-overweight participants with abdominal obesity, 1.51 (0.87-2.55, p = 0.141) in overweight participants without abdominal obesity and 3.25 (2.37-4.52, p<0.001) in overweight participants with abdominal obesity. In the follow-up examination, 86 participants were diagnosed as diabetes among 2,263 participants. Adjusted odds ratios for incident diabetes were as follow: 2.59 (0.98-6.44, p = 0.056) in non-overweight participants with abdominal obesity, 1.65 (0.64-4.00, p = 0.288) in overweight participants without abdominal obesity and 2.77 (1.55-5.15, p<0.001) in overweight participants with abdominal obesity. Non-overweight individuals with abdominal obesity as well as overweight individuals with abdominal obesity was associated with diabetes compared with non-overweight individuals without abdominal obesity.

Abstract
Diabetes is a debilitating, life-threatening disease accounting in 2015 for the death of 5 million people worldwide. According to new estimations, 415 million adults currently suffer from the disease, and this number is expected to rise to 642 million by 2040. High glucose blood levels also affect the skin among systemic organs, and skin disorders can often predict the onset of this metabolic disorder. In this review, we address the pathomechanistic effects of diabetes on the skin and give an overview on the most common skin diseases associated with diabetes.
