    A Review on Role of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) in Rheumatoid Arthritis
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2015-05-20) Ravinder Kumar; Sandeep Arora; Pratima Syal; Mayank Sippy
    Rheumatoid arthritis (RAa) is a systemic inflammatory connective tissue disease with polyarthritis as a prominent feature; however, extra-articular symptoms and signs are always present. Aadvanced glycation end products with ability of cross-linking of proteins characteristic fluorescence and reaction with AaGEe-specific receptor RAaGEe (receptor for AaGEes). AaGEes action as well as AaGEe formation is directly related to both to inflammation and oxidative stress. RAaGEe is a 35-kDa polypeptide whose gene is located at the junction of the class II and III HLAla regions on chromosome. ligation of RAaGEe has been shown to activate p21ras and mitogen-activated protein (MAaP) kinase, and stimulate nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NF-κB, thereby, resulting in the transcription of target genes thus may induce chronic cellular activation and tissue damage.
