Inhibitory effect of albumin-derived advanced glycosylation products on PMA-induced superoxide anion production by rat macrophages

Abstract

Advanced glycosylation end products (AGE) are implicated in many of the complications of diabetes. In the same way, infectious diseases are frequently associated with this disease. An impaired respiratory burst in macrophages may be a cause of infectious complications in diabetic patients. To establish a possible mechanism of this altered cell function, we have analyzed the effect of AGE-modified proteins on PMA-dependent superoxide anion production (O2.-) from normal rat peritoneal macrophages. We have used AGE-modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) prepared by incubation with glucose. AGE-BSA partially inhibits the phorbol ester-dependent superoxide production by macrophages in vitro. The specificity of this inhibitory effect is demonstrated by the fact that aminoguanidine, an inhibitor of the formation of AGE products, fully prevents the effect of AGE-BSA in vitro. Macrophages from diabetic rats shown an inhibition on PMA dependent-O2.- production. However, the treatment in vivo with aminoguanidine produced a cancelation of the inhibitory effect observed in the diabetic state. These data suggest that AGE-modified proteins could be implicated in the impairment of macrophage respiratory burst in diabetes.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
