Advanced glycation end products cause epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation via the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) [PDF]
Tubulointerstitial disease, a prominent phenomenon in diabetic nephropathy, correlates with decline in renal function. The underlying pathogenic link between chronic hyperglycemia and the development of tubulointerstitial injury has not been fully elucidated, but myofibroblast formation represents a key step in the development of tubulointerstitial ...

Receptor for Advanced-Glycation End Products [PDF]
Background— The beneficial effects of reperfusion therapies have been limited by the amount of ischemic damage that occurs before reperfusion. To enable development of interventions to reduce cell injury, our research has focused on understanding mechanisms involved in cardiac cell death after ...

Advanced Glycation End Product Recognition by the Receptor for AGEs [PDF]
Nonenzymatic protein glycation results in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that are implicated in the pathology of diabetes, chronic inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. AGEs mediate their effects primarily through a receptor-dependent pathway in which AGEs bind to a specific cell surface associated receptor, the ...

Prevention of Protein Glycation by Natural Compounds [PDF]
Non-enzymatic protein glycosylation (glycation) contributes to many diseases and aging of organisms. It can be expected that inhibition of glycation may prolong the lifespan.

Reduced soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products in COPD [PDF]
The soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE) has anti-inflammatory properties, and deficiency of circulating sRAGE is associated with various human diseases. Whether sRAGE concentrations are reduced in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been determined.

Pathological Role of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Calcified Aortic Valve Stenosis
Background Aortic stenosis (AS) is highly prevalent in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) play a pivotal role for vascular calcification in atherosclerosis.

Receptor for advanced glycation end‐products: Biological significance and imaging applications
AbstractThe receptor for advanced glycation end‐products (RAGE or AGER) is a transmembrane, immunoglobulin‐like receptor that, due to its multiple isoform structures, binds to a diverse range of endo‐ and exogenous ligands. RAGE activation caused by the ligand binding initiates a cascade of complex pathways associated with producing free radicals, such

Soluble levels of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus: ACTG NWCS332. [PDF]
The role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in HIV-related atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unclear.

Advanced Glycation End Products and Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in AA Amyloidosis
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may be involved in either amyloidogenesis or complications related to amyloid. We hypothesized that AGEs may influence the pathogenesis of AA amyloidosis, and investigated the spatial and temporal relationship between AGEs, carboxy methyl lysine (CML), the AGE receptor (RAGE), and AA amyloid in humans and mice ...
