چکیده

The receptor of advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor that upon activation causes sustained activation of multiple inflammatory pathways. Recent evidence, summarized in a review by Bopp and colleagues in this issue of Critical Care, has implicated RAGE as a potential therapeutic target in sepsis. Here, we discuss several open issues that need to be addressed before anti-RAGE strategies can enter the sepsis clinical trial arena.

Cardiac RAGE in sepsis: call TOLL free for anti-RAGE.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection. The hallmarks of clinical sepsis are a broad range of systemic and organ function aberrations, including core temperature (hypothermia or hyperthermia), cardiac (rate and contractility), and respiratory and hematologic perturbations. When sepsis results in at least 1 organ failure or dysfunction, it is classified as sev...

RAGE Deficiency Impairs Bacterial Clearance in Murine Staphylococcal Sepsis, but Has No Significant Impact on Staphylococcal Septic Arthritis

BACKGROUND Septic arthritis is a serious joint disease often caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE) has an important role in several infections. We sought to investigate the role of RAGE in staphylococcal septic arthritis and sepsis in mice. METHODS Wild-type (WT) and RAGE deficient (RAGE-/-) mice were intra-articularly or intravenousl...

Inhibition of the RAGE products increases survival in experimental models of severe sepsis and systemic infection

INTRODUCTION The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), a multi-ligand member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, contributes to acute and chronic disease processes, including sepsis. METHODS We studied the possible therapeutic role of RAGE inhibition in the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of polymicrobial sepsis and a model of systemic listeriosis using mice genetically ...

Receptor for advanced glycation end products facilitates host defense during Escherichia coli-induced abdominal sepsis in mice.

BACKGROUND The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) mediates a variety of inflammatory responses. METHODS To determine the role of RAGE in the innate immune response to abdominal sepsis caused by Escherichia coli, RAGE-deficient (RAGE(-/-)) and normal wild-type mice were intraperitoneally injected with E. coli. In a separate experiment, wild-type mice received either anti-RAGE ...
