Advanced Glycation End Products Modulate the Maturation and Function of Peripheral Blood Dendritic Cells

Abstract: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a complex and heterogeneous group of posttranslational modifications of proteins in vivo, have been widely studied for their involvement in diabetic complications; these complications are largely vascular and accompanied by inflammation. Because dendritic cells (DCs) initiate and modulate inflammatory responses, we hypothesized that AGEs might exert immunomodulatory effects via antigen-presenting DCs. To test this hypothesis, we investigated effects of the AGE peptide, c… Show more

“…Because IL-12 and IFN-␥ released by activated DCs contributed to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions and plaque destabilization, 18,19 our findings suggest that AGEs might promote the atherosclerosis by enhancing the maturation and immunity of DCs. Quite recently, Price et al 20 reported that AGEs prohibited the maturation of DCs and AGE-treated DCs had a loss in T-cell stimulation capacity, which is different from our present study. Although we do not know the reason for the discrepancy at present, there might be several possibilities.…”

“…Diabetes and aging in particular are associated with a deregulated and less effective immune response. Interestingly, advanced glycation end products down-regulate in vitro the ability of DCs to express costimulatory signals and to activate T cells (39). Similar results have been described after blockade of the autocrine secretion of HMGB1 and of RAGE activation (9,23,37).…”

“…The effect of AGE molecules on DC phenotype still remains controversial. Indeed, Price et al (58) observed a dosedependent inhibition of CD83 expression on DCs exposed to AGE peptide, associated with the loss of their capacity to stimulate primary proliferation of allogeneic T cells. In contrast, Ge et al (31) have shown that AGE induced a dose-and time-dependent maturation of DCs as indicated by the expression of CD83.…”
