The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been involved in the actions of inflammatory proteins such as S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), among several others. Despite there being many studies available proposing several different modes of interaction between the receptor and the protein, it is necessary to reconcile these binding hypotheses. We evaluated the co-localization of RAGE and S100B in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC’s) exposed to acute pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Co-localization of the receptor and the protein in umbilical cells exposed to pro-inflammatory stimuli was analyzed using an immunofluorescent assay. RAGE was present in umbilical cells, and its co-localization with S100B was stimulated in the presence of LPS. Our findings suggest an interaction between these proteins, possibly producing early inflammatory responses in umbilical cells. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this recognition is relevant to characterize the nature of the signaling associated with this receptor in inflammatory processes.

Nowadays a significant attention is currently given to the process of glycation which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular complications of diabetes and different neurodegenerative diseases. As a result of inconvertible transformation of early glycation products, stable compounds with different structure are produced - advanced glycation end-products (AGE), which have special patterns leading to pathological development. There are specific receptors of AGE which include phagocyte receptor, RAGE-receptor for advanced glycation end products, and galectin-3. It is necessary to find methods for prevention of development negative processes induced by glycation. It can be administration of glycation inhibitors or the use of compounds, leading to reduction of the level of glycation products, as well as intensification of metabolic processes, which also promotes reduction of glycation. It can also be inhibition of interlocking with receptor and/or post-receptor signaling pathways, which can theoretically reduce the risk of negative phenomena, induced by glycation products. Polyprenols are biologically highly functional active compounds taking part in the process of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, peptidoglycanes and carbohydrate-containing biopolymers biosynthesis. Polyprenols are perspective drugs that can be applied in various fields of experimental and clinical medicine.

The aim was to evaluate serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-9 activity, advanced glycation end products, galectin-3, C-reactive protein in men with heart failure and benign prostatic hyperplasiawith testosterone deficiency. The testosterone level was determined by immune-enzyme analysis. The content of advanced glycation end products in plasma were analysed by quantitative autofluorescence. The metalloproteinases-9 activity was estimated with fluorometry. The level of galectin-3, C-reactive protein was determined by immune-enzyme analysis. 1st group was made up by the men with heart failure and benign prostatic hyperplasia with testosterone deficiency; 2nd group – by the men without testosterone deficiency. The men with heart failure and benign prostatic hyperplasia with testosterone deficiency had a significantly higher level of advanced glycation end products, galectin-3, matrix metalloproteinases-9 activity in comparison with men with heart failure without testosterone deficiency (p<0.001). Correlation relations between serum advanced glycation end products in patients of the main group with age, ejection fraction, testosterone level were determined – r=0.48 (p<0.001), r=-0.62 (p<0.001), r= -0.66 (p<0.001) respectively. Receiver operating characteristic analysis for predictive role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have shown high degree of sensitivity and specificity for advanced glycation end products in serum (p<0.001). Middle-aged men with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and benign prostatic hyperplasia with testosterone deficiency are characterised by increased serum advanced glycation end products, galectin-3, matrix metalloproteinases-9 activity, C-reactive protein. Serum advanced glycation end products are potential biomarkers of development of heart failure with phenotype of preserved ejection fraction in this cohort.
