The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between soluble form of receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents. A total of 522 male and 561 female adolescents were enrolled into the final analyses. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, blood biochemistry, fasting insulin, and plasma sRAGE levels were measured. In males, sRAGE was significantly and inversely correlated with waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Only WC and BMI were significantly and inversely correlated with sRAGE in females. Using linear regression analysis adjusting for age and gender, significant association was found between sRAGE and WC, BMI, TG, LDL-C, and HOMA-IR in adolescents of either gender (P<0.05). This association was abolished when further adjusting BMI. In addition, sRAGE was significantly and inversely correlated with the increasing number of components of MetS in males (Pfor trend = 0.006) but not in females (Pfor trend = 0.422). In conclusion, plasma sRAGE is associated with obesity and MetS among adolescents. BMI may be the most important determinant of sRAGE levels in adolescents.

Background: Consumption of dietary advanced glycation end products is linked to metabolic syndrome. The objective was to describe the association between dietary advanced glycation end products intake and metabolic syndrome in young Mexican adults. Methods: The present was a cross-sectional study in 126 Mexican adults 18–35 years old evaluating metabolic syndrome through the harmonized criteria. Macronutrients and dietary advanced glycation end products intake were estimated through three 24-hour dietary recalls and food composition tables. Association between metabolic syndrome and high advanced glycation end products intake (≥10,000 kU/day) was evaluated through three logistic regression models adjusted by sex, age, family history of cardiometabolic diseases and energy intake. Results: Subjects with a higher advanced glycation end products intake were more likely to have impaired fasting glucose (OR: 4.91, 95% CI 1.29–18.60, p < 0.05) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 2.67, 95% CI 0.96–7.44, p = 0.059) than those participants with low consumption of these products after adjustment of sex, age, family history of cardiovascular disease and energy intake. Conclusions: High intake of dietary advanced glycation end products was significantly associated with impaired fasting glucose and marginally with metabolic syndrome in young Mexican adults regardless of sex, age, family history of cardiovascular disease and energy intake.

Aortic Stiffening

Aging is associated with stiffening of the large elastic arteries and consequent increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP), which together increase cardiovascular disease risk; however, the upstream mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using complementary translational approaches in mice and humans, we investigated the role of the gut microbiome-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in age-related aortic stiffening and increased SBP. Aortic stiffness was measured using carotid-femoral or aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) in humans and mice, respectively. Study 1: Plasma TMAO concentrations were elevated ( P <0.001) in healthy middle-aged to older (6.3±5.8 µmol/L) versus young (1.8±1.4 µmol/L) humans and positively related to carotid-femoral PWV ( r 2 =0.15, P <0.0001) and SBP ( r 2 =0.09, P <0.001), independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Study 2: Dietary supplementation with TMAO increased aPWV in young mice and exacerbated the already elevated aPWV of old mice, accompanied by increases in SBP of ≈10 mm Hg in both groups. TMAO-supplemented versus control-fed mice also had higher intrinsic mechanical stiffness of the aorta (stress-strain testing) associated with higher aortic abundance of advanced glycation end-products, which form crosslinks between structural proteins to promote aortic stiffening. Study 3: Ex vivo incubation of aortic rings with TMAO increased intrinsic stiffness, which was attenuated by the advanced glycation end-products crosslink breaker alagebrium and prevented by inhibition of superoxide signaling. TMAO induces aortic stiffening and increases SBP via formation of advanced glycation end-products and superoxide-stimulated oxidative stress, which together increase intrinsic wall stiffness. Increases in circulating TMAO with aging represent a novel therapeutic target for reducing risk of aortic stiffening-related clinical disorders.

The Relationship

Abstract Objectives Advanced Glycation End Products, (AGEs) and their soluble receptor (sRAGE) have been implicated in the development of complications and mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is limited information on the relationship between AGEs and sRAGE and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in minority groups, who have a higher burden of T2D. The relationship between AGEs and sRAGE and CVD risks in adults with T2D and vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency was assessed in a minority population. Methods A cross sectional study of Hispanics and African Americans with T2D (n = 64, 41 women and 23 men, mean age = 54 ± 9) recruited from two clinics in Miami Dade. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), weight and height measurement and serum lipid profile were completed. ELISA kits were used to assess serum levels of AGEs (Biotang Inc/TSZ Elisa, Waltham, MA, USA) and sRAGE (Biotang Inc/TSZ Elisa, Waltham, MA, USA). Multiple linear regression was used to assess association between AGEs, sRAGE and CVD risks. Results A negative and significant association between AGEs and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)(B = −0.551, P = 0.029) was found. The relationship between AGEs and HDL-C persisted after adjusting for covariates (P < 0.05). sRAGE was significantly associated with SBP (B = 0.015, P = 0.025) and diastolic blood pressure DBP (B = 0.0271, P = 0.037). Results loss significance when association between sRAGE and DBP and SBP were adjusted for covariates such as age, body mass index (BMI), smoking and alcohol intake. Conclusions Our results suggest that AGEs and sRAGE are related to markers of cardiovascular risk such as HDL-C, SBP and DBP in the study population of African Americans and Hispanics with T2D and vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency. Measures on reducing serum levels of AGEs and improving sRAGE and vitamin D are warranted in these populations for risk reduction of CVD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in adolescents with and without obesity (OB) and their correlation with vascular damage. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 15–19 years old adolescents: 33 with OB and 33 with normal weight (NW), each group included 17 male and 16 female. Lipid profile, insulin, carboxymethylysine (CML), sRAGE, total AGEs, and dietary AGEs intake (dAGEs) were evaluated. Vascular damage was measured by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and arterial stiffness index (Iβ). Homeostatic model assessment-insulin (HOMA-IR) and atherogenic index (AI) were calculated. Results: The group with OB had higher triglycerides (TG; p < 0.0001), AI (p < 0.001), HOMA-IR (p < 0.0001), dAGEs intake (p < 0.0001), lower CML (p = 0.05), total AGEs (p < 0.01), sRAGE (p < 0.001), and FMD (p < 0.002). In the total group, sRAGE correlated with AI (r = –0.26 p = 0.037); in the NW group, CML correlated with Iβ (r = –0.36; p = 0.037); and in the group of adolescents with OB, sRAGE correlated with FMD (r = –0.37; p = 0.037) and Iβ (r = 0.47; p = 0.006), while CML and total AGEs correlated with AI, p = 0.007 and p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: The group of adolescents with OB showed higher cardiometabolic risk as shown by higher TG, AI, HOMA-IR, and lower sRAGE and FMD. sRAGE correlated negatively with FMD and positively with Iβ, so it could be suggested as a biochemical marker of impaired endothelial function.

21113 Background: Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) may be involved in the pathogenesis of the cancer progression and metastasis. Pathological effects mediated via RAGE are physiologically inhibited by soluble RAGE (sRAGE), so the higher sRAGE levels may confer the patients with cancer with better outcome.. Our aim was to study sRAGE and RAGE gene polymorphisms in patients with breast cancer. Methods: We studied sRAGE and RAGE polymorphisms in 120 patients with breast cancer (subdivided based on the clinical stage, histologic grading, expression of hormonal and C-erb B2 receptors) and in 92 healthy controls. Results: Despite higher serum concentrations of AGEs, serum concentrations of sRAGE were lower in patients with breast cancer compared to healthy controls (1581 ± 777 vs. 1803 ± 632 ng/ml, p < 0.05). Serum levels of sRAGE were higher in patients with advanced breast cancer (stage III), lower grade and positive estrogen receptors and intermediate positivity of C-erb B2 (Her-neu) receptors and were also influenced genetically (G82S and 2184 AG polymorphisms of the RAGE gene). Conclusions: Decreased sRAGE levels in patients with breast cancer may contribute to the progression of the disease. Patients with better outcome (with low grade and positive estrogen receptors) have higher sRAGE levels. Progression of the disease, may, however, increase sRAGE levels, possibly as a compensatory mechanism to counteract further progression. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
