Background

RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts), also called AGER, is a transmembrane receptor of the immunoglobulin super family. It mediates interactions of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE) which accumulate in vascular tissue in aging in diabetes. Acts as a mediator of vascular inflammation such as atherosclerosis and a complication of diabetes. AGE/RAGE signal regulates production or expression of TNF-alpha, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Interaction with S100A12 on endothelium, mononuclear phagocytes, and lymphocytes triggers cellular activation. Interaction with S100B after myocardial infarction regulates myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling. ABPP-initiated RAGE signaling, especially stimulation of P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), delivers ABPP as a complex with RAGE to the intraneuronal. RAGE has higher expression in lung tissues, in particular in alveolar type I cells, and is lost in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
