Abstract
A complication of reducing sugars is that they can undergo Maillard chemical reactions, forming advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that can induce oxidative stress and inflammation via engagements with the main receptor for AGEs (RAGE) in various tissues. Certain sugars, such as glucose and fructose, are well known to cause AGE formation. Recently, allulose has emerged as a rare natural sugar that is an epimer of fructose and which is of low caloric content that is minimally metabolized, leading to it being introduced as a low-calorie sugar alternative. However, the relative ability of allulose to generate AGEs compared to glucose and fructose is not known. Here we assess the accumulation of AGEs in cell-free, in vitro, and in vivo conditions in response to allulose and compare it to glycation mediated by glucose or fructose. AGEs were quantified in cell-free samples, cell culture media and lysates, and rat serum with glycation-specific ELISAs. In cell-free conditions, we observed concentration and time-dependent increases in AGEs when bovine serum albumin (BSA) was incubated with glucose or fructose and significantly less glycation when incubated with allulose. AGEs were significantly elevated when pulmonary alveolar type II-like cells were co-incubated with glucose or fructose; however, significantly less AGEs were detected when cells were exposed to allulose. AGE quantification in serum obtained from rats fed a high-fat, low-carb (HFLC) Western diet for 2 weeks revealed significantly less glycation in animals co-administered allulose compared to those exposed to stevia. These results suggest allulose is associated with less AGE formation compared to fructose or glucose, and support its safety as a low-calorie sugar alternative.

Abstract
Breast cancer and lung cancer are the two most common malignancies in China. With the continuous improvement of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival time of breast cancer patients has been prolonged, and the number of breast cancer patients with second primary lung cancer (SPLC) has increased. In addition, breast cancer is the most common primary cancer in female patients with SPLC, and SPLC is the main cause of death in this population. More and more physicians pay attention to this clinical phenomenon. This paper summarized the risk and risk factors of SPLC in breast cancer patients, and elaborated its pathogenesis, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical management of breast cancer patients and achieve accurate early intervention as soon as possible.

[PMID: 35079372 PMCID: PMC8767295 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Smoking is one significant global health care problems, that not only affects the users but also endangers the health of people inhaling the smoke (passive smoking/secondhand smoke). The serum level of IL-18, an important regulator of inherent and acquired immune response, is affected by cigarette smoking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure on IL-18 serum level in non-smoker adults. Methods In a case-control study, using easy sampling method, 76 non-smokers who were exposed to cigarette smoke for at least 1 h daily during the past year were considered as exposure group, while 76 of their companions without exposure to cigarette smoke (after matching age) were considered as non-exposure group. Serum IL-18 levels were measured for all participants and finally compared between the two groups using Chi-square test. P value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results The exposure and non-exposure groups included 58 (76.3%) and 25 (32.9%) males, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean ± SD of age for the exposure and non-exposure groups was 35.42 ± 10.37 and 38.47 ± 12.49 years, respectively (P = 0.102). There was no significant difference between the mean serum levels of IL-18 in the exposure (54.81 ± 57.03 ng/ml) and non-exposure (41.49 ± 42.14 ng/ml) groups (P = 0.104). Conclusion The exposure to secondhand smoke has no significant effect on serum level of IL-18 in exposed adult individuals. However, more studies with larger sample sizes on different populations are required to confirm these results. Smoking is one significant global health care problems. That not only affects the users but also endangers the health of people inhaling the smoke. The serum level of IL-18, an important regulator of inherent and acquired immune response. The exposure to secondhand smoke has no significant effect on serum level of IL-18.

Abstract
Introduction The link between periodontal disease and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has been the subject of major research over the past several years. The primary objective of this review is to understand the cellular and molecular components that link common risk factors (exposure) in adult patients (population) with periodontal disease and other NCDs (outcome). The secondary objective is to interpret from existing literature the possibility of identifying the molecular plausibility of the Common Risk Factor Approach (CRFA). Materials and Methods A literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for all published articles pertaining to the molecular and cellular basis of the risk factors between periodontal diseases and major NCDs. Data from all randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials, cross-sectional studies, case-control, cohort studies, literature, and systematic reviews were included. Results Periodontal pathogens, stress, obesity, smoking, and dietary factors are some of the common risk factors between periodontal disease and NCDs. Conclusion Understanding the molecular and cellular link of common risk factors between NCDs and periodontal disease would ensure the application of CRFA. The CRFA implies that controlling the risk factors associated with NCDs can have an incredible positive impact on regulating many chronic conditions, which would extend to periodontal health also.

Cigarette Smoke Condensate Exposure Induces Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-Products (RAGE)-Dependent Sterile Inflammation in Amniotic Epithelial Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22158345.

Abstract
Maternal smoking is a risk factor of preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (pPROM), which is responsible for 30% of preterm births worldwide. Cigarettes induce oxidative stress and inflammation, mechanisms both implicated in fetal membranes (FM) weakening. We hypothesized that the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and its ligands can result in cigarette-dependent inflammation. FM explants and amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) were treated with cigarette smoke condensate (CSC), combined or not with RAGE antagonist peptide (RAP), an inhibitor of RAGE. Cell suffering was evaluated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) medium-release. Extracellular HMGB1 (a RAGE ligand) release by amnion and choriodecidua explants were checked by western blot. NF-κB pathway induction was determined by a luciferase gene reporter assay, and inflammation was evaluated by cytokine RT-qPCR and protein quantification. Gelatinase activity was assessed using a specific assay. CSC induced cell suffering and HMGB1 secretion only in the amnion, which is directly associated with a RAGE-dependent response. CSC also affected AECs by inducing inflammation (cytokine release and NFκB activation) and gelatinase activity through RAGE engagement, which was linked to an increase in extracellular matrix degradation. This RAGE dependent CSC-induced inflammation associated with an increase of gelatinase activity could explain a pathological FM weakening directly linked to pPROM.

Abstract
Impaired DNA damage responses are associated with several diseases, including pregnancy complications. Recent research identified an ATM-kinase dependent function for the nuclear isoform of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) during double strand break (DSB)-repair. RAGE contributes to end-resectioning of broken DNA sites by binding with the MRE11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex. Placental research is limited regarding the impact of genomic instability and the mechanism for potential repair. We tested the hypothesis regarding the involvement of RAGE during the repair of placental DNA-DSBs. We first identified that the pregnancy complications of PE and preterm labor (PTL) experience loss of genomic integrity and an in vitro trophoblast cell model was used to characterize trophoblast DSBs. Colocalized immunofluorescence of γ-H2AX and RAGE support the potential involvement of RAGE in cellular responses to DNA-DSBs. Immunoblotting for both molecules in PE and PTL placenta samples and in trophoblast cells validated a connection. Co-immunoprecipitation studies revealed interactions between RAGE and pATM and MRE11 during DNA-DSBs. Reduced cellular invasion confirmed the role of genomic instability in trophoblastic function. Collectively, these experiments identified genomic instability in pregnancy complications, the impact of defective DNA on trophoblast function, and a possible RAGE-mediated mechanism during DNA-DSB repair.

Abstract
Platelet activity is essential in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore our objective was to evaluate the main effects of activating RAGE in platelets which are still unknown. A search for RAGE expression in different databases showed poor or a nonexistent presence in platelets. We confirmed the expression in platelets and secreted variable of RAGE (sRAGE). Platelets from elderly adults expressed in resting showed 3.2 fold more RAGE from young individuals (p < 0.01) and 3.3 fold with TRAP-6 (p < 0.001). These results could indicate that the expression of RAGE is more inducible in older adults. Then we found that activating RAGE with AGE-BSA-derived from methylglyoxal and subthreshold TRAP-6, showed a considerable increase with respect to the control in platelet aggregation and expression of P-selectin (respectively, p < 0.01). This effect was almost completely blocked by using a specific RAGE inhibitor (FSP-ZM1), confirming that RAGE is important for the function and activation platelet. Finally, we predict the region stimulated by AGE-BSA is located in region V of RAGE and 13 amino acids are critical for its binding. In conclusion, the activation of RAGE affects platelet activation and 13 amino acids are critical for its stimulation, this information is crucial for future possible treatments for CVD.

Abstract
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are formed in a series of non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and the amino groups of proteins and accumulate during aging, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and other chronic diseases. Accumulation of AGE-modifications alters protein structure and function, transforming these molecules into potential targets of the immune system, presumably triggering the production of autoantibodies against AGEs. In this study, we detected autoantibodies against AGE-modified proteins with ELISA in plasma samples of 91 patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD), who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Patients with high levels of autoantibodies had a higher body mass index (BMI 28.6 vs 27.1 kg/m2; p = 0.046), were more likely to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD 30% vs 9.8%; p = 0.018), and more likely to need dialysis after the surgery (10% vs 0%; p = 0.037). Our findings show a weak link between the levels of autoantibodies against AGEs and diabetes mellitus (DM 44% vs 24.4%; p = 0.05). In a small subpopulation of patients, antibodies against native bovine serum albumin (BSA) were detected. A growing body of research explores the potential role of antibodies against AGE-modified proteins in pathogenesis of different chronic diseases; our data confirms the presence of AGE-autoantibodies in patients with CAD and that in parallel to the AGEs themselves, they may have a potential role in concomitant clinical conditions in patients undergoing CABG surgery. Further research is necessary to verify the molecular role of these antibodies in different pathological conditions.

Abstract
A liquid chromatograpy-nanoelectrospray ionization-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-NSI-HRMS/MS) method was developed for quantitation of the DNA adducts 7-(2'-carboxyethyl)guanine (7-2'-CEG) and N2-(1'-carboxyethyl)guanine (N2-1'-CEG), as their methyl esters, in human leukocyte DNA from smokers and non-smokers. 7-2'-CEG has been previously identified in all human liver samples analyzed and is formed from an unknown carboxyethylating agent while N2-1'-CEG is formed from the advanced glycation endproduct methyl glyoxal. The method was applied for the analysis of these two DNA adducts in leukocyte DNA from 20 smokers and 20 non-smokers, in part to test the hypothesis that 7-2'-CEG could be formed by endogenous nitrosation, as previously observed in rats treated with nitrosodihydrouracil and nitrite. Levels of 7-2'-CEG (mean ± S.D.) were 0.6 ± 0.2 pmol/μmol dG in smokers and 0.5 ± 0.2 pmol/μmol dG in non-smokers, while those of N2-1'-CEG were 4.5 ± 1.9 pmol/μmol dG in smokers and 4.6 ± 2 pmol/μmol dG in non-smokers. These results did not support our hypothesis that endogenous nitrosation of dihydrouracil in smokers leads to higher levels of 7-2'-CEG in leukocyte DNA than in non-smokers. However the study provides the first data on levels of these DNA adducts in human leukocyte DNA, and the LC-NSI-HRMS/MS method developed for their quantitation could be important for future studies of DNA damage by methyl glyoxal.

Abstract
Aim and Purpose: Tobacco exposure is one of the top three global health risks leading to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although there is extensive research into the effects of cigarette smoke, the effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) in the lung remains limited. SHS induces receptors for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) and an inflammatory response that leads to COPD characteristics. Semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan ethers (SAGEs) are sulfated polysaccharides derived from hyaluronic acid that inhibit RAGE signaling. The growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) protein is known to induce dynamic cellular responses and is correlated with cell function. Gas6 binds to the AXL tyrosine kinase receptor and AXL-mediated signaling is implicated in proliferation and inflammation. This project's purpose was to study the correlation between RAGE, AXL, and Gas6 during SHS exposure in the lung. Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to SHS alone or SHS + SAGEs for 4 weeks and compared to control animals exposed to room air (RA). Results: Compared to controls we observed: 1) increased RAGE mRNA and protein expression in SHS-exposed lungs which was decreased by SAGEs; 2) decreased expression of total AXL, but highly elevated pAXL expression following exposure; 3) highly elevated Gas6 expression when RAGE was targeted by SAGEs during SHS exposure; 4) SHS-mediated BALF cellularity and inflammatory molecule elaboration; and 5) the induction of both RAGE and AXL by Gas6 in cell culture models. Conclusions: Our results suggest that there is a possible correlation between RAGE and AXL during SHS exposure. Additional research is critically needed that dissects the molecular interplay between these two important signaling cascades. At this point, the current studies provide insight into tobacco-mediated effects in the lung and clarify possible avenues for alleviating complications that could arise during SHS exposure such as those observed during COPD exacerbations.

Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multi-ligand pattern recognition
receptor that is highly expressed in lung epithelial cells. It helps alveolar epithelial cells to
maintain their morphology and specific architecture. However, in various pathophysiological conditions,
pulmonary tissues express a supraphysiological level of RAGE and its ligands including advanced
glycation end products, high mobility group box 1 proteins, and S100 proteins. On interaction
with RAGE, these ligands stimulate downstream signaling that generates inflammation and oxidative
stress leading to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancers, idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis, acute lung injury, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis, and sepsis. Thus,
pharmacological agents that can either suppress the production of RAGE or block its biological activity
would offer promising therapeutic value against pathogenesis of the aforementioned lungassociated
diseases. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the recent progress made in
defining the functions of RAGE in lung-associated diseases.

Abstract
Purpose of review Persuasive statistics support the clinical observation that because of cardiovascular comorbidities patients with inflammatory joint disease die significantly earlier despite anti-inflammatory therapy. Recent findings The reason for this earlier death is multifactorial and involves a combination of a complex genetic background, environmental influences, classical cardiovascular risk factors and the impact of anti-inflammatory therapy. We will describe the importance of several new mechanisms, especially the diverse intercellular communication routes including extracellular vesicles and microRNAs that support the development of cardiovascular comorbidities. Summary The aim of this review is to give an updated overview about the known risk factors in the development of cardiovascular comorbidities with the latest insights about their mechanism of action. Furthermore, the impact of newly identified risk factors and significance will be discussed.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is predicted to become the third leading cause of death and disability worldwide by 2030; with cigarette smoking (active or passive) being one of the chief cause of its occurrence. Cigarette smoke exposure has been found to result in excessive inflammation and tissue injury, which might lead to COPD, although the exact pathophysiology of the disease remains elusive. While previous studies have demonstrated the role of membrane-bound Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in cigarette smoke (CS)-induced inflammation, scant information is available about the role of cytosolic NOD-like receptors (NLRs) in regulating CS-mediated inflammatory responses. Thus, we investigated the role of NLRP10 and NLRP12 in regulating inflammatory responses in human alveolar type II epithelial cells (A549) and human monocytic cells (THP-1) in response to a challenge with cigarette smoke extract (CSE). We observed CSE-mediated increase in caspase-1 activity; production of IL-1β and IL-18; and expression of NLRP10 and NLRP12 in A549 and THP-1 cells. Interestingly, immunofluorescence imaging results demonstrated an increase in the membrane recruitment of NLRP10 and NLRP12 proteins in CSE-challenged A549 cells. We also observed an increase in the expression of lipid raft proteins (caveolin-1, caveolin-2, and flotillin-1) and an induction of lipid raft assembly following CSE-exposure in A549 cells. Lipid rafts are cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains well known to act as harbours for signalling molecules. Here we demonstrate the recruitment of NLRP10 and NLRP12 in lipid raft entities as well as the interaction of NLRP12 with the lipid raft protein caveolin-1 in CSE-challenged A549 cells. Furthermore, enrichment of lipid raft entities with poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) rescued A549 cells from CSE-mediated membrane recruitment of NLRP10 and NLRP12, and also from inflammatory responses and inflammasome activation. Enrichment of membrane microdomains with PUFA was able to reverse filipin (chemical agent used for disrupting lipid rafts)-mediated enhanced inflammation in CSE-challenged A549 cells. Overall, our findings unveil a novel mechanism by identifying an important role of membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) in regulating CSE-induced inflammation and NLRP10/NLRP12-dependent signalling in A549 cells.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) affects approximately 30,000 people and is associated with tobacco use. Little is known about the mechanistic effects of second-hand smoke in the development of OSSC. The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a surface receptor that is upregulated by second-hand smoke and inhibited by semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan ethers (SAGEs). Our objective was to determine the role of RAGE during cigarette smoke extract-induced cellular responses and to use SAGEs as a modulating factor of Ca9-22 OSCC cell invasion. Ca9-22 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of cigarette smoke extract and SAGEs. Cell invasion was determined and cells were lysed for western blot analysis. Ras and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NF-κB) activation were determined. Treatment of cells with cigarette smoke extract resulted in: (i) increased invasion of OSCC; (ii) increased RAGE expression; (iii) inhibition of cigarette smoke extract-induced OSCC cell invasion by SAGEs; (iv) increased Ras, increased AKT and NF-κB activation, and downregulation by SAGEs; and (v) increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2, 9, and 14, and downregulation by SAGEs. We conclude that cigarette smoke extract increases invasion of OSCC cells in a RAGE-dependent manner. Inhibition of RAGE decreases the levels of its signaling molecules, which results in blocking the cigarette smoke extract-induced invasion.

J Diabetes Res 2017; 2017:2537216. [PMID: 29209632 PMCID: PMC5676450 DOI: 10.1155/2017/2537216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2017] [Accepted: 09/24/2017] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it was found to induce a dysfunctional angiogenic response in the brain that was attributed to oxidative stress. Milk thistle seed extract (silymarin) has potent antioxidant properties, though its potential use in ameliorating diabetes-induced aberrant brain angiogenesis is unknown. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β is a regulator of angiogenesis that is upregulated by diabetes. Its involvement in diabetes-induced angiogenesis is unknown. To evaluate the potential of silymarin to ameliorate diabetes-induced aberrant angiogenesis, human brain endothelial cells (HBEC-5i) were treated with 50 μg/mL advanced glycation end (AGE) products in the presence or absence of silymarin (50, 100 μM). The angiogenic potential of HBEC-5i was evaluated in terms of migration and in vitro tube formation capacities. The involvement of GSK-3β was also evaluated. AGE significantly increased the migration and tube formation rates of HBEC-5i by about onefold (p = 0.0001). Silymarin reduced AGE-induced migration in a dose-dependent manner where 50 μM reduced migration by about 50%, whereas the 100 μM completely inhibited AGE-induced migration. Similarly, silymarin 50 μg/mL blunted AGE-induced tube formation (p = 0.001). This effect was mediated through a GSK-3β-dependent inhibition of VEGF release. In conclusion, silymarin inhibits AGE-induced aberrant angiogenesis in a GSK-3β-mediated inhibition of VEGF release.
