Receptor for advanced glycation end products binds to phosphatidylserine and assists in the clearance of apoptotic cells.

ABSTRACT: Clearance of apoptotic cells is necessary for tissue development, homeostasis and resolution of inflammation. The uptake of apoptotic cells is initiated by an 'eat-me' signal, such as phosphatidylserine, on the cell surface and phagocytes recognize the signal by using specific receptors. In this study, we show that the soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) binds to phosphatidylserine as well as to the apoptotic thymocytes. RAGE-deficient (Rage(-/-)) alveolar macrophages showed impaired phagocytosis of apoptotic thymocytes and defective clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in Rage(-/-) mice. Our results indicate that RAGE functions as a phosphatidylserine receptor and assists in the clearance of apoptotic cells.

Advanced glycation end products regulate the receptor of AGEs epigenetically.

Project description:Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) can boost their receptor of AGE (RAGE) expression through the downstream signaling pathway to facilitate AGE-RAGE interaction. In this regulation process, the primary signaling pathways are NF-κB and STAT3. However, the inhibition of these transcription factors cannot completely block the upregulation of RAGE, which indicates AGEs may also impact RAGE expression via other pathways. In this study, we revealed that AGEs can exhibit epigenetic impacts on RAGE expression. Here, we used carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and carboxyethyl-lysine (CEL) to treat liver cells and discovered that AGEs can promote the demethylation of the RAGE promoter region. To verify this epigenetic modification, we employed dCAS9-DNMT3a with sgRNA to specifically modify the RAGE promoter region against the effect of carboxymethyl-lysine and carboxyethyl-lysine. The elevated RAGE expressions were partially repressed after AGE-induced hypomethylation statuses were reversed. Additionally, TET1 were also upregulated in AGE-treated cells, indicating AGEs may epigenetically modulate RAGE through the elevating TET1 level.

Transcriptome analysis of Advanced glycation end products treated ligament cells

Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is formed by heterogeneous ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. The patho-mechanism of OPLL is still largely unknown. Recently, disorders of metabolism are thought to be the center of many diseases such as OPLL. Advanced glycation end product (AGE) are accumulated in many extracellular matrixes such as ligament fibers, and it can functions as cellular signal through its receptor (RAGE), contributing to various events such as atherosclerosis or oxidative stress. However, its role in OPLL formation is not yet known. Therefore, we performed high-through-put RNA sequencing on primary posterior longitudinal ligament cells treated with different doses of AGEs (1ÂµM, 5ÂµM and negative control), with or without BMP2 (1ÂµM). mRNA profiles of Primary human posterior longitudinal ligament cells stimulated with various stimuli (Control, 1ÂµM AGE-BSA, 5ÂµM AGE-BSA, 1ÂµM AGE-BSA with BMP2, 5ÂµM AGE-BSA with BMP2) were generated by deep sequencing on Ion Proton

Advanced Glycation End Products:Receptors for Advanced Glycation End Products Axis in Coronary Stent Restenosis: A Prospective Study.

Project description:This study was aimed to correlate the pre- and 6-month postpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) serum concentrations of advanced glycation end products (AGE), soluble receptors for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), AGE/sRAGE ratio, and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels with in-stent restenosis (ISR) among patients receiving either a drug-eluting stent (DES) or a bare-metal stent (BMS).In-stent restenosis remains as an adverse outcome following PCI. Sixty consecutive nondiabetic, Caucasian male patients, diagnosed with a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction who received either a DES or BMS via PCI, were enrolled. Baseline levels of serum AGE, sRAGE, AGE/sRAGE ratios, MDA, and angiographic parameters were determined at stenting and at 6 months. Patients with and without ISR at 6 months were compared on both baseline and 6-month biomarker levels and within stent types.The pre-PCI serum AGE levels and AGE/sRAGE ratios were higher in ISR patients compared with non-ISR patients, while the pre-PCI and post-PCI serum sRAGE levels were lower in ISR patients compared with non-ISR patients. The pre and post-PCI levels of MDA were also higher in ISR patients. Comparing stent types, relative levels of MDA between those with and without ISR at the respective time points were similar, although changes between time points appeared type specific.Post-PCI ISR correlates with low serum values of sRAGE and high serum values of AGE, MDA, and AGE/sRAGE ratio which are present at stenting. The associations of baseline AGE, sRAGE, AGE/sRAGE, and MDA levels with ISR appear consistent between stent types.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promote melanogenesis through receptor for AGEs.

Project description:Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is linked with development or aggravation of many degenerative processes or disorders, including aging and atherosclerosis. AGEs production in skin cells is known to promote stiffness and loss of elasticity through their buildup in connective tissue. However, the impact of AGEs has yet to be fully explored in melanocytes. In this study, we confirmed the existence of receptor for AGE (RAGE) in melanocytes in western blot and immunofluorescence along with increased melanin production in ex vivo skin organ culture and in vitro melanocyte culture following AGEs treatment. Cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 are considered as key regulatory proteins in AGEs-induced melanogenesis. In addition, blockage experiment using anti-RAGE blocking antibody has indicated that RAGE plays a pivotal role in AGE-mediated melanogenesis. Therefore, it is apparent that AGEs, known markers of aging, promote melanogenesis via RAGE. In addition, AGEs could be implicated in pigmentation associated with photoaging according to the results of increased secretion of AGEs from keratinocytes following UV irradiation. AGE-mediated melanogenesis may thus hold promise as a novel mean of altering skin pigmentation.

Toxicity of advanced glycation end products (Review).

Project description:Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids glycated nonenzymatically by glucose, or other reducing sugars and their derivatives, such as glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, methyloglyoxal and acetaldehyde. There are three different means of AGE formation: i) Maillard reactions, the polyol pathway and lipid peroxidation. AGEs participate in the pathological mechanisms underlying the development of several diseases, such as diabetes and its complications, retinopathy or neuropathy, neurological disorders (for example, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease), atherosclerosis, hypertension and several types of cancer. AGE levels are increased in patients with hyperglycaemia, and is likely the result of the high concentration of glycation substrates circulating in the blood. The present review summarises the formation and nomenclature of advanced glycation end-products, with an emphasis on the role of AGEs in the development of diabetes, neurological disorders, as well as in cancer and other pathologies. A particular focus is placed on the functions of toxic AGEs. Additionally, studies which have shown the cytotoxicity of glycated albumin and other AGEs are also discussed. Finally, the diagnostic relevance of AGEs as well as for targeting in therapeutic strategies are highlighted.

Solution structure of the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE).

Project description:The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multiligand cell surface receptor involved in various human diseases, as it binds to numerous molecules and proteins that modulate the activity of other proteins. Elucidating the three-dimensional structure of this receptor is therefore most important for understanding its function during activation and cellular signaling. The major alternative splice product of RAGE comprises its extracellular region that occurs as a soluble protein (sRAGE). Although the structures of sRAGE domains were available, their assembly into the functional full-length protein remained unknown. We observed that the protein has concentration-dependent oligomerization behavior, and this is also mediated by the presence of Ca(2+) ions. Moreover, using synchrotron small angle x-ray scattering, the solution structure of human sRAGE was determined in the monomeric and dimeric forms. The model for the monomer displays a J-like shape, whereas the dimer is formed through the association of the two N-terminal domains and has an elongated structure. These results provide insights into the assembly of the RAGE homodimer, which is essential for signal transduction, and the sRAGE:RAGE heterodimer that leads to blockage of the receptor signaling, paving the way for the design of therapeutic strategies for a large number of different pathologies.

Soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products and progression of airway disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is highly expressed in the lung, where it is believed to have a homeostatic role. Reduced plasma levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) have been reported in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of plasma sRAGE levels with a longitudinal decline of lung function. We have also measured plasma levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a RAGE ligand which has been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases including COPD.MethodsBaseline plasma concentrations of sRAGE and HMGB1 were measured in non-smokers (n = 32), smokers without COPD (n = 212), and smokers with COPD (n = 51), and the associations of the plasma sRAGE and HMGB1 levels with longitudinal declines of lung function during a 4-year follow-up period were analysed.ResultsThe plasma levels of sRAGE were significantly lower in smokers without COPD and in smokers with COPD, as compared to those of non-smokers. Plasma sRAGE levels positively correlated with FVC and FEV1 and inversely correlated with BMI and pack-years. Lower sRAGE levels were associated with greater declines of FEV1/FVC over 4 years in all participants. Moreover, multivariate regression analysis indicated that the baseline plasma sRAGE concentration was an independent predictor of FEV1/FVC decline in all groups. A subgroup analysis showed that decreased sRAGE levels are significantly associated with a more rapid decline of FEV1/FVC in smokers with COPD. There was no significant correlation between plasma HMGB1 levels and longitudinal decline of lung function.ConclusionsLower plasma concentrations of sRAGE were associated with greater progression of airflow limitations over time, especially in smokers with COPD, suggesting that RAGE might have a protective role in the lung.

Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products regulates age-associated Cardiac Fibrosis.

Project description:Myocardial aging increases the cardiovascular risk in the elderly. The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) is involved in age-related disorders. The soluble isoform (sRAGE) acts as a scavenger blocking the membrane-bound receptor activation. This study aims at investigating RAGE contribution to age-related cardiac remodeling. We analyzed the cardiac function of three different age groups of female Rage-/- and C57BL/6N (WT) mice: 2.5- (Young), 12- (Middle-age, MA) and 21-months (Old) old. While aging, Rage-/- mice displayed an increase in left ventricle (LV) dimensions compared to age-matched WT animals, with the main differences observed in the MA groups. Rage-/- mice showed higher fibrosis and a larger number of α-Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA)+ cells with age, along with increased expression of pro-fibrotic Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β1 pathway components. RAGE isoforms were undetectable in LV of WT mice, nevertheless, circulating sRAGE declined with aging and inversely associated with LV diastolic dimensions. Human cardiac fibroblasts stimulated with sRAGE exhibited a reduction in proliferation, pro-fibrotic proteins and TGF-beta Receptor 1 (TGFbR1) expression and Smad2-3 activation. Finally, sRAGE administration to MA WT animals reduced cardiac fibrosis. Hence, our work shows that RAGE associates with age-dependent myocardial changes and indicates sRAGE as an inhibitor of cardiac fibroblasts differentiation and age-dependent cardiac fibrosis.

Plasma Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Project description:RationaleThe receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is underexpressed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lung, but the role of RAGE in human lung fibrosis remains uncertain.ObjectivesTo examine (1) the association between IPF risk and variation at rs2070600, a functional missense variant in AGER (the gene that codes for RAGE), and (2) the associations between plasma-soluble RAGE (sRAGE) levels with disease severity and time to death or lung transplant in IPF.MethodsWe genotyped the rs2070600 single-nucleotide polymorphism in 108 adults with IPF and 324 race-/ethnicity-matched control subjects. We measured plasma sRAGE by ELISA in 103 adults with IPF. We used generalized linear and additive models as well as Cox models to control for potential confounders. We repeated our analyses in 168 (genetic analyses) and 177 (sRAGE analyses) adults with other forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD).ResultsThere was no association between rs2070600 variation among adults with IPF (P = 0.31). Plasma sRAGE levels were lower among adults with IPF and other forms of ILD than in control subjects (P < 0.001). The rs2070600 allele A was associated with a 49% lower sRAGE level (95% confidence interval [CI], 11 to 71%; P = 0.02) among adults with IPF. In adjusted analyses, lower sRAGE levels were associated with greater disease severity (14% sRAGE decrement per 10% FVC decrement; 95% CI, 5 to 22%) and a higher rate of death or lung transplant at 1 year (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.9 per logarithmic unit of sRAGE decrement; 95% CI, 1.2-3.3) in IPF. Similar findings were observed in a heterogeneous group of adults with other forms of ILD.ConclusionsLower plasma sRAGE levels may be a biological measure of disease severity in IPF. Variation at the rs2070600 single-nucleotide polymorphism was not associated with IPF risk.
