“…Our recent findings showed that intracellular TAGE damaged not only liver cells [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], but also other cell types, including neuroblasts, pancreatic cancer cells, cardiomyocytes, myoblasts, pancreatic islet β-cells, osteoblasts, and cardiac fibroblasts [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. The leakage of cytotoxic intracellular TAGE into the blood has been suggested to increase their concentration in circulating fluids [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Extracellular TAGE and receptor for AGEs (RAGE) interactions were found to affect intracellular signaling, gene expression, and the release of pro-inflammatory molecules and promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in many cell types [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], and these changes collectively contribute to the development of NASH.…”
