Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) acts as an absolute mediator of cardiovascular risk, prompting the prolonged occurrence, size and intricacy of atherosclerotic plaques via enhanced Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) formation. Moreover, hyperglycemia is associated with enhanced glyco-oxidized and oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) possessing greater atherogenicity and decreased the ability to regulate HMG-CoA reductase (HMG-R). Although aminoguanidine (AG) prevents the AGE-induced protein cross-linking due to its anti-glycation potential, it exerts several unusual pharmaco-toxicological effects thus restraining its desirable therapeutic effects. HMG-R inhibitors/statins exhibit a variety of beneficial impacts in addition to the cholesterol-lowering effects. Objective: Inhibition of AGEs interaction with receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and glyco-oxidized-LDL by HMG-R inhibitors could decrease LDL uptake by LDL-receptor (LDL-R), regulate cholesterol synthesis via HMG-R, decrease oxidative and inflammatory stress to improve the diabetes-associated complications. Conclusion: Current article appraises the pathological AGE-RAGE concerns in diabetes and its associated complications, mainly focusing on the phenomenon of both circulatory AGEs and those accumulating in tissues in diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic retinopathy, discussing the potential protective role of HMG-R inhibitors against diabetic complications.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) can induce cardiac hypertrophy, but the mechanism is still unclear. Here we elucidate the role of angiotensin II (AngII) receptor (AT1-R) in Ox-LDL-induced cardiomycyte hypertrophy. Inhibition of Ox-LDL receptor LOX-1 and AT1-R rather than AngII abolished Ox-LDL-induced hypertrophic responses. Similar results were obtained from the heart of mice lacking endogenous Ang II and their cardiomyocytes. Ox-LDL but not AngII induced binding of LOX-1 to AT1-R, and the inhibition of LOX-1 or AT1-R rather than AngII abolished the association of these two receptors. Ox-LDL-induced ERKs phosphorylation in LOX-1 and AT1-R-overexpression cells and the binding of both receptors were suppressed by the mutants of LOX-1 (Lys266Ala/Lys267Ala) or AT1-R (Glu257Ala), however, the AT1-R mutant lacking Gq protein-coupling ability only abolished the ERKs phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of ERKs induced by Ox-LDL in LOX-1 and AT1-R-overexpression cells was abrogated by Gq protein inhibitor but not by Jak2, Rac1 and RhoA inhibitors. Therefore, the direct interaction between LOX-1 and AT1-R and the downstream Gq protein activation are important mechanisms for Ox-LDL- but not AngII-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
