Low Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products Precedes and Predicts Cardiometabolic Events in Women With Rheumatoid Arthritis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes premature mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Levels of soluble (s)RAGE change with aging, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. We assessed whether sRAGE was associated with increased risk of CVD in RA patients. Methods: Serum sRAGE was measured in 184 female RA patients and analyzed with respect to CVD risk estimated by the Framingham algorithm (eCVR), metabolic profile and inflammation. Levels of sRAGE in 13 patients with known cardio-metabolic morbidity defined the cut-off for low sRAGE. Prospective 5-year follow-up of new CV and metabolic events was completed. Results: Low sRAGE was significantly associated with previous history and with new imminent cardiometabolic events in the prospective follow-up of RA patients. In both cases, low sRAGE reflected higher estimation of CVR in those patients. Low sRAGE was attributed to adverse metabolic parameters including high fasting plasma glucose and body fat content rather than inflammation. The association of sRAGE and poor metabolic profile was prominent in patients younger than 50 years. Conclusions: This study points at low sRAGE as a marker of metabolic failure developed during chronic inflammation. It highlights the importance for monitoring metabolic health in female RA patients for timely prevention of CVD. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov with ID NCT03449589.

Project description:BackgroundDespite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continue to be at increased risk of cardiometabolic complications compared to HIV-uninfected individuals. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are implicated in the development and progression of cardiometabolic complications in the general population. Their role in HIV remains unclear.MethodsACTG A5260s is a prospective open-label randomized trial in which ART-naive people living with HIV were randomized to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate /emtricitabine plus atazanavir/ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, or raltegravir over 96 weeks. Changes in circulating AGEs with ART initiation were assessed, and linear regression was used to examine the associations between serum AGEs with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, total fat, lean mass, body mass index, insulin resistance, leptin, and adiponectin.ResultsOverall, 214 participants were included. Ninety percent were male, 48% were White, the median age was 36 years, median HIV-1 RNA was 4.58 log10 copies/mL, and median CD4 count was 338 cells/µL. Most AGEs remained relatively unchanged following 96 weeks of ART initiation, except for methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone 1 (MG-H1), which increased following 96 weeks of ART (mean fold change, 1.15 [95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.30]). No differences were detected across ART regimens. Increases in AGE levels over time were associated with worsening body fat composition measures, insulin resistance, and cIMT, even after adjusting for clinically relevant factors.ConclusionsAGE levels did not decrease following ART initiation. Most AGE levels remained stable, except for MG-H1, which increased. In people with HIV on ART, the accumulation of circulating AGEs over time appears to be independently associated with worsening cardiometabolic biomarkers.Summary: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) does not appear to be effective in reducing advanced glycation end product (AGE) levels. On the contrary, AGE levels seem to increase following ART initiation. Accumulation of AGEs was found to be independently associated with cardiometabolic complications in treated people living with HIV.
