Abstract Apolipoprotein-ε4 (APOE-ε4)—common variant is a major genetic risk factor for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD). An accelerated rate of biological aging could contribute to this increased risk. Glycation of serum proteins due to excessive glucose and reactive oxygen species leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs)—a risk factor for diabetes and AD, and decline in motor functioning in elderly adults. Aim of present study was to investigate impact of APOE-ε4 allele containing genotype and accumulation of AGEs in plasma on telomere length (TL). Results showed that TL is significantly shorter in APOE-ε4 carriers compared with non-APOE-ε4 carriers (p = .0003). Higher plasma glucose level was associated with shorter TL irrespective of APOE-ε4 allele containing genotype (r = −.26; p = .0004). With regard to AGEs, higher plasma glyoxal and fluorescent AGEs concentrations were inversely related to TL (r = −.16; p = .03; r = −.28; p = .0001), however, plasma Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine levels didn't correlate with TL (r = −.04; p = .57). Results support the hypotheses that APOE-ε4 carriers have shorter telomeres than noncarriers and telomere erosion is increased with higher concentration of glucose, fluorescent AGEs, and glyoxal.

Glycation is one of the most important post-translational modifications in cells and tissues and gives rise to highly reactive species called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs exert their pathological effects through different ways and previous reports suggest that they may also affect adipose tissue function and insulin sensitivity. All the data belong only to short-term treatments; however, in vivo glycation is a continuous process. To fill this gap, our study investigated the effect of chronic pro-glycating conditions on adipogenesis and adipocyte's insulin responsiveness. Our results show that chronic pro-glycating treatments with methylglyoxal (MGO) and MGO modified-BSA (BSA-MGO) do not display cytotoxicity but modify gene expression without affect adipogenic differentiation. These treatments induce different levels of intracellular accumulation of AGEs which colocalize with the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter GLUT4 (solute carrier family 2 member 4- SLC2A4) in the cytoplasm; in particular, BSA-MGO reduces glucose uptake. Moreover, the adipocytes differentiated in pro-glycating conditions display an enhancement in the protein expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R). These results suggest that intracellular AGEs could link alterations in GLP1 signaling and insulin resistance in adipose tissue, revealing that GLUT4 protein can be susceptible to glycation. Further studies are needed to clarify if this pathway could be targeted and if the reduction of AGEs accumulation in adipocytes can ameliorate insulin responsiveness.
