Koschinsky, Theodore, He, Ci-Jiang, Mitsuhashi, Tomoko, Bucala, Richard, Liu, Cecilia, Buenting, Christina, ...

Endogenous advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) include chemically crosslinking species (glycotoxins) that contribute to the vascular and renal complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Renal...

Tobacco smoke is a source of toxic reactive glycation products

Cerami, Carla, Founds, Hank, Nicholl, Iain, Mitsuhashi, Tomoko, Giordano, Donna, Vanpatten, Sonya, ...

Smokers have a significantly higher risk for developing coronary and cerebrovascular disease than nonsmokers. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are reactive, cross-linking moieties that form...

Inflammatory mediators are induced by dietary glycotoxins, a major risk factor for diabetic angiopathy

Vlassara, Helen, Cai, Weijing, Crandall, Jill, Goldberg, Teresia, Oberstein, Robert, Dardaine, Veronique, ...

Diet is a major environmental source of proinflammatory AGEs (heat-generated advanced glycation end products); its impact in humans remains unclear. We explored the effects of two equivalent diets,...

Advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) receptor 1 is a negative regulator of the inflammatory response to AGE in mesangial cells

Lu, Changyong, He, John Cijiang, Cai, Weijing, Liu, Huixian, Zhu, Li, Vlassara, Helen

Advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) contribute to kidney disease due to diabetes or aging by means of mesangial cell (MC) receptors, such as the receptor for AGE (RAGE), which promote...

Advanced glycation end product (AGE) receptor 1 suppresses cell oxidant stress and activation signaling via EGF receptor

Cai, Weijing, He, John C., Zhu, Li, Lu, Changyong, Vlassara, Helen

Advanced glycation end product receptors (AGERs) play distinct functional roles in both the toxicity and disposal of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), substances that are linked to diabetes and...

Reduced Acute Vascular Injury and Atherosclerosis in Hyperlipidemic Mice Transgenic for Lysozyme

Liu, Huixian, Zheng, Feng, Li, Zhu, Uribarri, Jaime, Ren, Bin, Hutter, Randolph, ...

Hyperlipidemia promotes oxidant stress, inflammation, and atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE(−/−)) mice. Mice transgenic for lysozyme (LZ-Tg) are resistant to acute and chronic...

Oxidative stress-inducing carbonyl compounds from common foods: novel mediators of cellular dysfunction.

Cai, Weijing, Gao, Qiao-Di, Zhu, Li, Peppa, Melpomeni, He, Cijiang, Vlassara, Helen

BACKGROUND: The general increase in reactive oxygen species generated from glucose-derived advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) is among the key mechanisms implicated in tissue injury due to...

Reduced Oxidant Stress and Extended Lifespan in Mice Exposed to a Low Glycotoxin Diet : Association with Increased AGER1 Expression

Cai, Weijing, He, John Cijiang, Zhu, Li, Chen, Xue, Wallenstein, Sylvan, Striker, Gary E., ...

Aging is accompanied by increased oxidative stress (OS) and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGE formation in food is temperature-regulated, and ingestion of nutrients prepared...

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells Recognize Conserved Epitopes Associated with Apoptosis and Oxidation

Catera, Rosa, Silverman, Gregg J, Hatzi, Katerina, Seiler, Till, Didier, Sebastien, Zhang, Lu, ...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) represents the outgrowth of a CD5+ B cell. Its etiology is unknown. The structure of membrane Ig on CLL cells of unrelated patients can be remarkably similar....
