D-ribosylation induces cognitive impairment through RAGE-dependent astrocytic inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Non-enzymatic glycation of proteins by reducing saccharides for instance D-glucose is an important post-translational modification regulating protein function. Already two centuries ago, D-glucose (Glc) was identified in the urine of diabetic patients. Recently, abnormally high level of D-ribose (Rib) in the urine of type 2 diabetics has been discovered, which is highly active in protein glycation, resulting in the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Accumulation of AGEs leads to altered cellular function, for example AGE accumulation in the nervous system impairs cognitive ability, yet the mechanisms mediating this process for Rib are unknown. Here we found that treatment with Rib accelerated AGE formation in U251 and U87MG astrocytoma cells and in mouse brain, inducing upregulation of receptor for AGEs (RAGE). Astrocytoma cells with elevated levels of RAGE displayed enhanced activity of the proinflammatory nuclear transcription factor kappaB and increased expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Moreover, injection of Rib induced astrocyte activation in mouse hippocampus and impaired spatial learning and memory abilities. These results indicate that mouse spatial cognitive impairment caused by Rib-derived AGEs is correlated with activation of an astrocyte-mediated, RAGE-dependent inflammatory response. This study may provide insights into the mechanism of Rib-involved cognitive impairments and diabetic encephalopathy.

Project description:AimsDepression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE) is closely related to chronic stress and is a target of F-box protein O10 (FBXO10) which promotes the degradation of RAGE by ubiquitination. Here, we explored the role of FBXO10 and RAGE in chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced behavioral despair, cognitive impairment, neuroinflammation, and the polarization microglia.MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice with or without infusion of viral in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) were subjected to CUS. Then the mice were exposed to forced swim test, sucrose consumption test, novelty-suppressed feeding test, and temporal object recognition task to assess the behavioral despair and cognitive impairment. Inflammatory cytokines and the neurotrophic factor brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in PFC were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to observe the activation and phenotypic transformation of microglia in PFC. LPS-induced cell model was constructed to explore the effect of FBXO10/RAGE axis in the polarization of microglia in vitro.ResultsFBXO10 promoted RAGE degradation by ubiquitination in BV2 cells. FBXO10 protein levels were reduced whereas RAGE protein levels were enhanced in CUS mice. FBXO10 overexpression or RAGE knockdown inhibited proinflammatory cytokine release, promoted BDNF expression, mitigated the depressive-like and cognitive impairment behaviors, and affected the polarization of microglia induced by CUS exposure. FBXO10/RAGE axis promoted the polarization of microglia from the M1 to the M2 phenotype in vitro. Moreover, p38 MAPK and NF-κΒ were identified to be the downstream effect factors for FBXO10/RAGE axis.ConclusionsFBXO10 administration prevents CUS-induced behavioral despair, cognitive impairment, neuroinflammation, and the polarization of microglia through decreasing the accumulation of RAGE, p38 MAPK, and NF-κΒ, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of depression.

Project description:ObjectiveReceptor for advanced glycation end products (AGEs; RAGE) binds to both AGEs and amyloid-beta peptides. RAGE is involved in chronic complications of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. We aimed to investigate the roles of RAGE, AGEs and the Gly82Ser polymorphism of RAGE in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among type 2 diabetes patients.MethodsOf the 167 hospitalized type 2 diabetes patients recruited, 82 satisfied the diagnostic criteria for MCI, and 85 matched control individuals were classified as non-MCI. Demographic data were collected, and the soluble RAGE (sRAGE) concentrations, serum AGE-peptide (AGE-P) levels, RAGE Gly82Ser genotype and neuropsychological test results were examined.ResultsThe MCI group exhibited a decreased sRAGE level (0.87±0.35 vs. 1.05±0.52 ng/ml, p<0.01) and an increased serum AGE-P level (3.54±1.27 vs. 2.71±1.18 U/ml, p<0.01) compared with the control group. Logistic regression analysis indicated that each unit reduction in the sRAGE concentration increased the MCI risk by 54% (OR 0.46[95% CI 0.22-0.96], p = 0.04) and that each unit increase in the AGE-P level increased the MCI risk by 72% in the type 2 diabetes patients (OR 1.72[95% CI 1.31-2.28], p<0.01). The serum sRAGE level was negatively correlated with the score on the trail making test-B (TMT-B) (r = -0.344, p = 0.002), which indicates early cognitive deficits related to diabetes. Moreover, the AGE-P level was positively correlated with multiple cognitive domains (all p<0.05). No significant differences in the neuropsychological test results or serum RAGE concentrations between the different RAGE genotypes or in the RAGE genotype frequencies between the MCI and control groups were identified (all p>0.05).ConclusionsThe RAGE pathway partially mediates AGE-induced MCI in diabetic patients. The serum AGE-P level may serve as a serum biomarker of MCI in these individuals, and sRAGE represents a predictor and even a potential intervention target of early cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes patients.Trial registrationAdvanced Glycation End Products Induced Cognitive Impairment in Diabetes: BDNF Signal Meditated Hippocampal Neurogenesis ChiCTR-OCC-15006060.
