Thiazolidinediones reduce endothelial expression of receptors for advanced glycation end products.
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are critically involved in atherogenesis in diabetes by binding to receptors for AGE (RAGEs) in vascular cells, thus inducing the expression of proinflammatory mediators. In animal models, interruption of the AGE-RAGE interaction reduces lesion size and plaque development. Therefore, limiting RAGE expression might be an intriguing concept to modulate vascu...
متن کاملExpression and function of receptors for advanced glycation end products in bovine corneal endothelial cells.
PURPOSE The corneal endothelium is a target of the aging process. This study was undertaken to reveal the relationship between corneal endothelial cell (CEC) death and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), by investigating the possible mechanism of accumulation of AGE in CECs and its effects on CEC death. METHODS First, the in vivo expression of the receptor was investig...
متن کاملBlockade of angiotensin II receptors reduces the expression of receptors for advanced glycation end products in human endothelial cells.
OBJECTIVE Receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGEs) play crucial roles in atherogenesis. Because tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is expressed and upregulates RAGE expression in atherosclerotic lesions, the TNFalpha-RAGE interaction might be involved in the inflammatory process of atherogenesis. On the other hand, an angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker (ARB), widely used as...
متن کاملAdvanced glycation end products
Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage to an organism over time leading to disease and death. Aging research has been very intensive in the last years aiming at characterizing the pathophysiology of aging and finding possibilities to fight age-related diseases. Various theories of aging have been proposed. In the last years advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particula...
متن کاملAdvanced glycation end products, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products, and risk of colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGE) accumulate in human tissue proteins during aging, particularly under hyperglycemia conditions. AGEs induce oxidative stress and inflammation via the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and soluble RAGE (sRAGE) can neutralize the effects mediated by RAGE-ligand engagement. METHODS We examined the association between N(ε)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a prom...
