    Abstract Glycation and glycosylation are non-enzymatic and enzymatic reactions, respectively, of glucose, glucose metabolites, and other reducing sugars with different substrates, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Increased availability of glucose is a recognized risk factor for the onset and progression of diabetes-mellitus-associated disorders, among which cardiovascular diseases have a great impact on patient mortality. Both advanced glycation end products, the result of non-enzymatic glycation of substrates, and O-linked-N-Acetylglucosaminylation, a glycosylation reaction that is controlled by O-N-AcetylGlucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), have been shown to play a role in cardiovascular remodeling. In this review, we aim (1) to summarize the most recent data regarding the role of glycation and O-linked-N-Acetylglucosaminylation as glucose-related pathogenetic factors and disease markers in cardiovascular remodeling, and (2) to discuss potential common mechanisms linking these pathways to the dysregulation and/or loss of function of different biomolecules involved in this field.

    Abstract Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are aging products. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), AGEs accumulate due to the increased production, reduced excretion, and the imbalance between oxidant/antioxidant capacities. CKD is therefore a model of aging. The aim of this review is to summarize the present knowledge of AGEs in CKD onset and progression, also focusing on CKD-related disorders (cardiovascular diseases, sarcopenia, and nutritional imbalance) and CKD mortality. The role of AGEs as etiopathogenetic molecules, as well as potential markers of disease progression and/or therapeutic targets, will be discussed.

    Abstract Background: in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the inflammatory and pro-oxidant milieu may contribute to malnutrition development. In this study, we investigated the relationship between inflammation, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and their receptors (RAGEs) with malnutrition in CKD patients. Methods: we evaluated 117 patients. AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, soluble RAGEs isoforms, and inflammatory interleukins by ELISA. Malnutrition was assessed by a malnutrition inflammation score. Results: mean age was 80 ± +11 years, eGFR was 25 ± +11 mL/min/1.73 m² and BMI was 28 ± 5 Kg/m². Malnourished individuals were older, had lower estimated protein intake (nPCR 0.65 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.3, p = 0.01), higher C reactive protein (CRP 0.6 ± 1 vs. 0.6 ± 0.7 vs. 0.17 ± 0.13, p = 0.02) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α 14.7 ± 8.7 vs. 15.6 ± 8 vs. 11.8 ± 5.8, p = 0.029). Malnourished patients had higher sRAGE (2813 ± 1477 vs. 2158 ± 1236 vs. 2314 ± 1115, p = 0.035) and esRAGE (648 [408–1049] vs. 476 [355–680] vs. 545 [380–730] p = 0.033). In the multivariate analysis, only sRAGE maintained its association with malnutrition (p = 0.02) independently of aging and inflammation. Conclusions: in CKD patients, RAGEs isoforms, but not AGEs, are associated with malnutrition, irrespective of systemic inflammation, aging, and renal function.

    Abstract Lipidome perturbation occurring during meta-inflammation is associated to left ventricle (LV) remodeling though the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key regulator of chronic inflammation in obesity-related disorders. Little is known about phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) as DAMP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome. Our study is aimed to evaluate if a systemic reduction of PC/PE molar ratio can affect NLRP3 plasma levels in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients with insulin resistance (IR) risk. Forty patients from IRCCS Policlinico San Donato were enrolled, and their blood samples were drawn before heart surgery. LV geometry measurements were evaluated by echocardiography and clinical data associated to IR risk were collected. PC and PE were quantified by ESI-MS/MS. Circulating NLRP3 was quantified by an ELISA assay. Our results have shown that CVD patients with IR risk presented systemic lipid impairment of PC and PE species and their ratio in plasma was inversely associated to NLRP3 levels. Interestingly, CVD patients with IR risk presented LV changes directly associated to increased levels of NLRP3 and a decrease in PC/PE ratio in plasma, highlighting the systemic effect of meta-inflammation in cardiac response. In summary, PC and PE can be considered bioactive mediators associated to both the NLRP3 and LV changes in CVD patients with IR risk.

    Abstract Sarcopenia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is independently associated with morbidity and mortality. Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are mainly known as aging products. In CKD, AGE accumulate due to increased production and reduced kidney excretion. The imbalance between oxidant/antioxidant capacities in CKD patients is one of the main factors leading to AGE synthesis. AGE can, in turn, promote CKD progression and CKD-related complications by increasing reactive oxygen species generation, inducing inflammation, and promoting fibrosis. All these derangements can further increase AGE and uremic toxin accumulation and promote loss of muscle mass and function. Since the link between AGE and sarcopenia in CKD is far from being fully understood, we revised hereby the data supporting the potential contribution of AGE as mediators of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia. Understanding how AGE and oxidative stress impact the onset of sarcopenia in CKD may help to identify new potential markers of disease progression and/or therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are affected by enhanced oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, and these factors may contribute to increase advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). In this study we quantified AGEs and soluble receptors for AGE (sRAGE) isoforms and evaluated the association between their variations and eGFR at baseline and after 12 months. We evaluated 64 patients. AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, and sRAGE by ELISA. Median age was 81 years, male patients accounted for 70%, 63% were diabetic, and eGFR was 27 ± 10 mL/min/1.73 m². At follow up, sRAGE isoforms underwent a significant decrement (1679 [1393;2038] vs. 1442 [1117;2102], p < 0.0001), while AGEs/sRAGE ratios were increased (1.77 ± 0.92 vs. 2.24 ± 1.34, p = 0.004). Although AGEs and AGEs/sRAGE ratios were inversely related with eGFR, their basal values as well their variations did not show a significant association with eGFR changes. In a cohort of patients with a stable clinical condition at 1 year follow-up, AGEs/sRAGE was associated with renal function. The lack of association with eGFR suggests that other factors can influence its increase. In conclusion, AGEs/sRAGE can be an additional risk factor for CKD progression over a longer time, but its role as a prognostic tool needs further investigation.

    Abstract Background: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is an overproduction and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Since AGEs may have detrimental effects on muscular trophism and performance, we evaluated whether they may contribute to the onset of sarcopenia in CKD patients.
    Methods: We enrolled 117 patients. The AGEs were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence spectrophotometer and soluble receptor for AGE (sRAGE) isoforms by ELISA. As for the sarcopenia definition, we used the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria.
    Results: The average age was 80 ± 11 years, 70% were males, and the mean eGFR was 25 + 11 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: In older CKD patients, AGEs, but not sRAGE, are associated with the presence of sarcopenia. Therefore, AGEs may contribute to the complex pathophysiology leading to the development of sarcopenia in CKD patients.
