The receptor for advanced-glycation end products (RAGE) is upregulated in various cancers and has been associated with tumor progression, but little is known about its expression and regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Here, we describe miR-185, which represses RAGE expression, and investigate the biological role of miR-185 in ESCC. In this study, we f...

OBJECTIVE Receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGEs) (RAGE) plays a central role in the process of plaque rupture in diabetic patients. Recently, it has been reported that RAGE may be downregulated by improving glycemic control. In contrast, despite being well known that RAGE may be induced in human vessels in a glucose-independent fashion, also by myeloperoxidase (MPO)-dependent AGE g...

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) restores bone mass to the osteopenic skeleton, but significant questions remain as to the underlying mechanisms. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily; however, recent studies indicate a role in bone physiology. We investigated the significance of RAGE to hormone-induced increases in bone by ...

BACKGROUND Receptors for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) are immunoglobulin-like pattern recognition receptors abundantly localized to lung epithelium. Our research demonstrated that primary tobacco smoke exposure increases RAGE expression and that RAGE partly mediates pro-inflammatory signaling during exposure. However, the degree to which RAGE influences developing lungs when gestating...

Objective: Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), along with its ligand high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), is believed to play an important role in prostate cancer. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the expression of RAGE and HMGB1 and their clinical impact on prostate cancer progression and prognosis. Methods: The expression of RAGE and HMGB1 were assessed by...

In The Case for Rage, Myisha Cherry demonstrates that antiracist rage can be instrumentally valuable, a fitting response to racism, and, therefore, wrong us dismiss. That is, on Cherry's account, anger is useful, fitting, and (in some sense) permissible. this article, I argue we should go beyond saying permissible, the correct thing say people have anger, of (somewhat) specific intensity. furth...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the effect of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), S100A12 and C-reactive protein (CRP) on the release of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) from human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). MATERIALS AND METHODS HCAECs were cultured in increasing concentration of CRP (0, 12.5, 25, 50μg/ml) or S100A12 protein (0, 4, 10, ...

OBJECTIVE Rage attacks have been documented in youth with varied psychiatric disorders, but few data have been reported on the clinical characteristics and correlates of rage attacks among children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). METHOD Participants were 86 children (ages 6-16 years) with a primary diagnosis of OCD. Patients and their primary caregiver were administered clinician-ra...

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their cell surface receptor, RAGE, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Here, we studied the role of RAGE and expression of its proinflammatory ligands, EN-RAGEs (S100/calgranulins), in inflammatory events mediating cellular activation in diabetic tissue. Apolipoprotein E-null mice were rendered diabetic with streptozotoc...

Interaction of RAGE (the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts) with its ligands can promote tumor progression, invasion, and angiogenesis. Although blocking RAGE signaling has been proposed as a potential anticancer strategy, functional contributions of RAGE expression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have not been investigated in detail. Here, we evaluated the effect of genetic deple...
