Endothelial expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products in experimental diabetes

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases including diabetes. The interaction between RAGE and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promotes gene expression, enhances the release of proinflammatory molecules and causes the gene...

Associations of high-mobility group box 1 and receptor for advanced glycation end products with acute lung injury in patient with acute aortic dissection

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations of high-mobility group box 1 and its specific receptor, receptor for advanced glycation end products with acute lung injury in patients with acute aortic dissection. METHODS: A total of 96 acute aortic dissection patients were divided into acute aortic...

Azeliragon ameliorates Alzheimer's disease via the Janus tyrosine kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: TTP488, an antagonist of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products, was evaluated as a potential treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanism underlying the protective action of TTP488 against AD has not yet been fully explored. METHODS...

Papel de produtos finais de glicação avançada nas alterações hepáticas e metabólicas em modelo experimental de síndrome metabólica

A doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica (DHGNA) afeta um terço da população adulta e é definida como o acúmulo de gordura no fígado de indivíduos que não consomem excessiva quantidade de álcool. No entanto, os mecanismos moleculares responsáveis pela progressão da doença ainda não fora...

Association between the RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end-products) -374T/A gene polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy in T2DM

Summary Objective: Interaction between advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and receptor for AGEs (RAGE) in cells could affect both extracellular and intracellular structure and function, which plays a pivotal role in diabetic microvascular complications. The results from previous epidemiological stud...

S100A8 inhibits PDGF-induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells dependent on the receptor for advanced glycation end-products

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Airway remodeling is a key feature of asthma, characterized by increased proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). S100A8 is a calcium-binding protein with a potential to regulate cell proliferation. Here, the effect of exogenous S100A8 protein on the proliferation of ASMCs induced...

Ação da proteína amiloide sérica A em melanomas

Concentrações séricas basais da proteína amiloide sérica A (SAA) estão significativamente aumentadas em pacientes com câncer e alguns autores sugerem uma relação causal. Trabalho anterior do grupo mostrou que a SAA induz a proliferação de duas linhagens de glioblastoma humano e afeta os proces...
