Pathological Implications of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-Product (AGER) Gene Polymorphism.

ABSTRACT: The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a cell surface transmembrane multiligand receptor, encoded by the AGER gene. RAGE presents many transcripts, is expressed mainly in the lung, and involves multiple pathways (such as NF?B, Akt, p38, and MAP kinases) that initiate and perpetuate an unfavorable proinflammatory state. Due to these numerous functional activities, RAGE is implicated in multiple diseases. AGER is a highly polymorphic gene, with polymorphisms or SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) that could be responsible or co-responsible for disease development. This review was designed to shed light on the pathological implications of AGER polymorphisms. Five polymorphisms are described: rs2070600, rs1800624, rs1800625, rs184003, and a 63?bp deletion. The rs2070600 SNP may be associated with the development of human autoimmune disease, diabetes complications, cancer, and lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The rs1800624 SNP involves AGER gene regulation and may be related to reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, Crohn's disease, and type 1 diabetes complications. The rs1800625 SNP may be associated with the development of diabetic retinopathy, cancer, and lupus but may be protective against cardiovascular risk. The rs184003 SNP seems related to coronary artery disease, breast cancer, and diabetes. The 63?bp deletion may be associated with reduced survival from heart diseases during diabetic nephropathy. Here, these potential associations between AGER polymorphisms and the development of diseases are discussed, as there have been conflicting findings on the pathological impact of AGER SNPs in the literature. These contradictory results might be explained by distinct AGER SNP frequencies depending on ethnicity.

Project description:BackgroundAdvanced glycation end products (AGEs) promote adverse health effects and may contribute to the multi-system functional decline observed in aging. Diet is a major source of AGEs, and foods high in protein may increase circulating AGE concentrations. However, epidemiological evidence that high-protein diets increase AGEs is lacking.ObjectivesWe examined whether dietary protein intake was associated with serum concentrations of the major AGE carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and the soluble receptor for AGEs (sRAGE) in 2439 participants from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study (mean age, 73.6 ± 2.9 y; 52% female; 37% black).MethodsCML and sRAGE were measured by ELISA, and the CML/sRAGE ratio was calculated. Protein intake was estimated using an interviewer-administered FFQ and categorized based on current recommendations for older adults: <0.8 g/kg/d (n = 1077), 0.8 to <1.2 g/kg/d (n = 922), and ≥1.2 g/kg/d (n = 440). Associations between protein intake and AGE-RAGE biomarkers were examined using linear regression models adjusted for demographics, height, lifestyle behaviors, prevalent disease, cognitive function, inflammation, and other dietary factors.ResultsCML concentrations were higher in individuals with higher total protein intake (adjusted least squares mean ± SE: <0.8 g/kg/d, 829 ± 17 ng/ml; 0.8 to <1.2 g/kg/d, 860 ± 15 ng/ml; ≥1.2 g/kg/d, 919 ± 23 ng/ml; P for trend = 0.001), as were sRAGE concentrations (<0.8 g/kg/d, 1412 ± 34 pg/ml; 0.8 to <1.2 g/kg/d, 1479 ± 31 pg/ml; ≥1.2 g/kg/d, 1574 ± 47 pg/ml; P for trend < 0.0001). Every 0.1 g/kg/d increment in total protein intake was associated with a 13.3 ± 3.0 ng/ml increment in CML and a 22.1 ± 6.0 pg/ml increment in sRAGE (P < 0.0001 for both). Higher CML and sRAGE concentrations were also associated with higher intakes of both animal and vegetable protein (all P values ≤ 0.01). There were no significant associations with the CML/sRAGE ratio.ConclusionsHigher dietary protein intake was associated with higher CML and sRAGE concentrations in older adults; however, the CML/sRAGE ratio remained similar across groups.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. There is strong evidence suggesting that DR has an inheritable component. The interaction between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor is integral in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and its various complications, retinopathy being one of them.Overview and methodologyThis review discusses the existing literature on the association between single nucleotide variants (SNV) of AGER gene and the risk of DR. It also discusses the current understanding of the AGE-AGER pathway in diabetic retinopathy. Through our article we have tried to consolidate all the available information about these SNVs associated with diabetic retinopathy in a succinct tabular form. Additionally, a current understanding of the AGE-AGER interaction and its deleterious effects on the cells of the retina has been discussed in detail to provide comprehensive information about the topic to the reader. A literature review was performed on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for studies to find existing literature on the association between AGER gene SNVs and the risk, progression and severity of developing DR. This article will encourage scientific communication and discussion about possibly devising genetic markers for an important cause of blindness both in developed and developing countries, i.e., diabetic retinopathy.ResultBased on genetic studies done in Indian and Chinese population G82S(rs2070600) was positively associated with Diabetic Retinopathy. Patients of diabetic retinopathy in Caucasian population had -T374A(rs1800624) polymorphism. + 20T/A was found to be associated with the disease in a study done in UK. Association with G1704T(rs184003) was seen in Chinese and Malaysian population. A Chinese study found its association with CYB242T. -T429C(rs1800625) SNV was not associated with DR in any of the studies. G2245A(rs55640627) was positively associated with the disease process in Malaysian population. It was not associated in Malaysian and Chinese population. Promoter variant rs1051993 has also been found to a susceptible SNV in the Chinese population.ConclusionWhile providing a comprehensive review of the existing information, we would like to emphasize on a large, multi-centric, trial with a much larger and varied population base to definitely determine these single nucleotide variants predisposing diabetic individuals.
