A growing body of evidence points to a causal relationship between advanced glycation end products (AGE) accumulation in tissues and the development of chronic diabetic complications. Particularly impressive are data showing a dramatic increase in the levels of circulating AGE peptides in diabetic end stage renal disease that correlates with the severity of the nephropathy. We have recently shown that AGE-BSA probes tagged with colloidal gold display great reactivity towards glomerular structures. In the same way, a recent study has shown that chronic injection of AGEBSA but not BSA produces the classical picture of diabetic glomerulopathy in otherwise euglycemic animals. It is apparent from these and other studies that small metabolic fragments of AGE proteins are implicated in these phenomena. It is certain that the kidneys play an important role in the clearance of circulating AGE products from the bloodstream. However, so far little is known about the fate of AGE proteins and AGE peptides in renal tissue.

Introduction: Advanced glycation end products and their cell-bound receptors (RAGE) are thought to mediate the adverse effects of dysglycemia and vascular disease through oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) is a 48-kDa, positively-charged cleavage product of RAGE. There is limited evidence on the role of sRAGE in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. Methods: We conducted cross-sectional and prospective analyses of a case-cohort study nested within the ARIC Study. Plasma sRAGE was measured at baseline (1990-92) in a cohort random sample (n=1,218) and three case groups of participants with incident chronic kidney disease [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and ≥25% eGFR decline; n=151], incident end-stage renal disease [U.S. Renal Data System registry; n=152], and incident kidney failure (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , U.S. Renal Data System registry, or kidney failure-related hospitalization or death; n=266). Results: Baseline sRAGE levels were inversely related to baseline eGFR (r = -0.13). After adjusting for age, sex, and race, one interquartile range increase in log 10 -transformed sRAGE was associated with development of end-stage renal disease [hazard ratio: 1.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.47, 2.64; p<0.001], kidney failure (hazard ratio: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.27, 2.00; p<0.001), and chronic kidney disease (odds ratio: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.83; p=0.02). However, none of these associations were significant after additional adjustment for eGFR (all p>0.10; Figure). Conclusions: High sRAGE levels are associated with decreased kidney function. The association of sRAGE with kidney disease risk may be explained by its partial clearance by the kidney.
