Abstract
The review delves into the methods for the quantitative assessment of intracellular effectors and cellular response of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE), a vital transmembrane receptor involved in a range of physiological and pathological processes. RAGE bind to Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) and other ligands, which in turn activate diverse downstream signaling pathways that impact cellular responses such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune reactions. The review article discusses the intracellular signaling pathways activated by RAGE followed by differential activation of RAGE signaling across various diseases. This will ultimately guide researchers in developing targeted and effective interventions for diseases associated with RAGE activation. Further, we have discussed how PCR, western blotting, and microscopic examination of various molecules involved in downstream signaling can be leveraged to monitor, diagnose, and explore diseases involving proteins with unique post-translational modifications. This review article underscores the pressing need for advancements in molecular approaches for disease detection and management involving RAGE.

Metabolic Syndrome and Biotherapeutic Activity of Dairy (Cow and Buffalo) Milk Proteins and Peptides: Fast Food-Induced Obesity Perspective-A Narrative Review. Biomolecules 2024; 14:478. [PMID: 38672494 PMCID: PMC11048494 DOI: 10.3390/biom14040478] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined by the outcome of interconnected metabolic factors that directly increase the prevalence of obesity and other metabolic diseases. Currently, obesity is considered one of the most relevant topics of discussion because an epidemic heave of the incidence of obesity in both developing and underdeveloped countries has been reached. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2023 report, 38% of the world population are presently either obese or overweight. One of the causes of obesity is an imbalance of energy intake and energy expenditure, where nutritional imbalance due to consumption of high-calorie fast foods play a pivotal role. The dynamic interactions among different risk factors of obesity are highly complex; however, the underpinnings of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia for obesity incidence are recognized. Fast foods, primarily composed of soluble carbohydrates, non-nutritive artificial sweeteners, saturated fats, and complexes of macronutrients (protein-carbohydrate, starch-lipid, starch-lipid-protein) provide high metabolic calories. Several experimental studies have pointed out that dairy proteins and peptides may modulate the activities of risk factors of obesity. To justify the results precisely, peptides from dairy milk proteins were synthesized under in vitro conditions and their contributions to biomarkers of obesity were assessed. Comprehensive information about the impact of proteins and peptides from dairy milks on fast food-induced obesity is presented in this narrative review article.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity are leading causes of cardiometabolic dysfunction. Despite extensive investigation, the mechanisms mediating the increase in these conditions are yet to be fully understood. Beyond the endogenous formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in overweight and obesity, exogenous sources of AGEs accrue through the heating, production, and consumption of highly processed foods. Evidence from cellular and mouse model systems indicates that the interaction of AGEs with their central cell surface receptor for AGE (RAGE) in adipocytes suppresses energy expenditure and that AGE/RAGE contributes to increased adipose inflammation and processes linked to insulin resistance. In human subjects, the circulating soluble forms of RAGE, which are mutable, may serve as biomarkers of obesity and weight loss. Antagonists of RAGE signalling, through blockade of the interaction of the RAGE cytoplasmic domain with the formin, Diaphanous-1 (DIAPH1), target aberrant RAGE activities in metabolic tissues. This review focuses on the potential roles for AGEs and other RAGE ligands and RAGE/DIAPH1 in the pathogenesis of overweight and obesity and their metabolic consequences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the actions of advanced glycated end-products (AGE), their receptors (RAGE), and NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox) subtypes 1, 2, and 4 on mechanisms of endothelium-dependent dilation of the rat cremaster muscle artery (CMA). METHODS Immunofluorescence studies were used to examine expression of RAGE in rat arteries. ROS accumulation was measured using luminescence and fluorescence assays. Functional studies were performed using pressure myography. RESULTS High levels of RAGE expression were shown in the endothelial cells of the CMA, compared with low endothelial expression in middle cerebral and mesenteric arteries and the aorta. Exogenous AGE (in vitro glycated bovine serum albumin) stimulated H2O2 accumulation in CMA, which was prevented by the RAGE antagonist FPS-ZM1, the NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox) inhibitor apocynin and inhibited by the Nox1/4 inhibitor setanaxib, but not the Nox2 inhibitor GSK2795039. In functional studies, AGE inhibited vasodilation of CMA stimulated by acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, and the BKCa activator NS1619, but not adenosine-induced dilation. FPS-ZM1, apocynin, and setanaxib prevented the inhibitory effects of AGE on responses to acetylcholine and NS-1619. CONCLUSION These observations suggest RAGE are constitutively expressed in the endothelium of the rat CMA and may be activated by AGE to stimulate Nox1/4 and ROS formation with resulting inhibition of NO and BKCa-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the association between the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and carotid artery plaque (CAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 10,778 patients with CHD. The participants were divided into three groups by HGI tertiles (T1 HGI<-0.44, T2 -0.44 ≤ HGI ≤ 0.15, T3 HGI>0.15). The presence of CAP was used to diagnose by carotid ultrasonography. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between the HGI and CAP. The association between HGI and CAP was also assessed according to sex, age, smoking status, and drinking status. We further assessed the association between HGI and the ultrasound characteristics of CAP. The baseline analysis showed substantial differences in relevant parameters between the three groups of patients with CHD according to the tertiles of the HGI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HGI was significantly associated with CAP (odds ratio [OR] 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-1.39). The association between HGI and CAP exists among different sex, age, smoking, and drinking status. Furthermore, there was a significant and positive association between HGI and all four different echogenicities of the CAP.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are chronic pathologies with a high incidence worldwide. They share some pathological mechanisms, including hyperinsulinemia, the production and release of hormones, and hyperglycemia. The above, over time, affects other systems of the human body by causing tissue hypoxia, low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress, which lay the pathophysiological groundwork for cancer. The leading causes of death globally are T2DM and cancer. Other main alterations of this pathological triad include the accumulation of advanced glycation end products and the release of endogenous alarmins due to cell death (i.e., damage-associated molecular patterns) such as the intracellular proteins high-mobility group box protein 1 and protein S100 that bind to the receptor for advanced glycation products (RAGE) - a multiligand receptor involved in inflammatory and metabolic and neoplastic processes. This review analyzes the latest advanced reports on the role of RAGE in the development of obesity, T2DM, and cancer, with an aim to understand the intracellular signaling mechanisms linked with cancer initiation. This review also explores inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, cellular senescence, RAGE ligands, tumor microenvironment changes, and the “cancer hallmarks” of the leading tumors associated with T2DM. The assimilation of this information could aid in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to lower the morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases.

Abstract
Advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) are a series of complex compounds which generate in the advanced phase of Maillard reaction, which can pose a non-negligible risk to human health. This article systematically encompasses AGEs in milk and dairy products under different processing conditions, influencing factors, inhibition mechanism and levels among the different categories of dairy products. In particular, it describes the effects of various sterilization techniques on the Maillard reaction. Different processing techniques have a significant effect on AGEs content. In addition, it clearly articulates the determination methods of AGEs and even discusses its immunometabolism via gut microbiota. It is observed that the metabolism of AGEs can affect the composition of the gut microbiota, which further has an impact on intestinal function and the gut-brain axis. This research also provides a suggestion for AGEs mitigation strategies, which are beneficial to optimize the dairy production, especially innovative processing technology application.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease, and there are many factors that influence its development and the course of the disease. A deep understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying atherogenesis is needed to develop optimal therapeutic strategies and treatments. In this review, we have focused on low density lipoproteins. According to multiple studies, their atherogenic properties are associated with multiple modifications of lipid particles. One of these modifications is Glycation. We considered aspects related to the formation of modified particles, as well as the influence of modification on their functioning. We paid special attention to atherogenicity and the role of glycated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Connective tissue ageing is accelerated by the progressive accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The formation of AGEs is characteristic for diabetes mellitus (DM) progression and affects only specific proteins with relatively long half-lives. This is the case of fibrillar collagens that are highly susceptible to glycation. While collagen provides a framework for plenty of organs, the local homeostasis of specific tissues is indirectly affected by glycation. Among the many age- and diabetes-related morphological changes affecting human connective tissues, there is concurrently reduced healing capacity, flexibility, and quality among ligaments, tendons, bones, and skin. Although DM provokes a wide range of known clinical disorders, the exact mechanisms of connective tissue alteration are still being investigated. Most of them rely on animal models in order to conclude the patterns of damage. Further research and more well-designed large-cohort studies need to be conducted in order to answer the issue concerning the involvement of ligaments in diabetes-related complications. In the following manuscript, we present the results from experiments discovering specific molecules that are engaged in the degenerative process of connective tissue alteration. This review is intended to provide the report and sum up the investigations described in the literature concerning the topic of ligament alteration in DM, which, even though significantly decreasing the quality of life, do not play a major role in research.
