Abstract

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are elevated in diabetes mellitus (DM) and predict the development of atherosclerosis independently of other risk factors. AGE induce the generation of oxygen reactive species (ROS) and inflammatory markers related to long term complications of DM. We recently demonstrated that advanced glycated albumin (AGE albumin) - isolated from poorly controlled DM patients - reduces the expression of the HDL receptor, ABCA-1, leading to cholesterol accumulation in macrophages. Our hypothesis is that the effects of AGE albumin in macrophages can be mediated by the interaction between the receptor for AGE (RAGE) and that the glycemic control can prevent alterations in lipid flux in that cells. Then, we intend to investigate the effect of RAGE silencing (by small interference RNA) and soluble RAGE in ROS generation, NF-kB activation, ABCA-1 expression and lipid accumulation in macrophages treated with albumin isolated from poorly glycemic control (HbA1c > 8%) and after metabolic adjustment (HbA1c < 7%). Findings will help to elucidate: 1) how glycemic control can contribute to the prevention of lipid accumulation in macrophages and 2) the participation of the AGE/RAGE axis in cellular lipid flux in DM that can contribute to therapeutic interventions.
