Complexity of RAGE signaling. A multitude of RAGE ligands exist that activate numerous intracellular signaling pathways through various adapter proteins recruited to the intracellular domain. Through increased gene transcription, RAGE activation leads to inflammation, survival or apoptosis, migration and/or invasion, and proliferation and/or differentiation. Signal amplification is achieved through enhanced expression of RAGE itself as well as of various RAGE ligands, in which activation of NAPDH oxidase and NF-κB play a role. RAGE can also be present in the nucleus, where it has been shown to contribute to the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Figure created with Biorender.com (accessed on 24 April 2023).

RAGE isoforms and genetic variants. The AGER gene contains 11 exons. The full-length RAGE protein consists of two constant domains (C1, C2) and a variable (V) immunoglobulin domain, which together are involved in ligand binding. A transmembrane domain (TM) elicits ligand-induced oligomerization, and a cytoplasmic domain (CT) interacts with the various downstream effectors. Full-length RAGE can be cleaved into soluble RAGE by ADAM10 and MMP3, 9, and 13. Alternative splicing gives rise to endogenous soluble RAGE (esRAGE), which lacks the TM and CT, a dominant negative (DN) variant that lacks the CT, and an N-truncated variant that lacks the V-domain. Polymorphisms in the AGER promotor increase AGER expression. A SNP leading to an amino acid substitution in the V domain (G82S) increases ligand affinity and downstream signaling.

Causes of AGE accumulation. Dietary intake of AGEs and exposure to glycotoxins through cigarette smoke lead to AGE accumulation in tissues. Endogenous AGE formation starts with the condensation of a reducing sugar with a free amine group in a protein and proceeds through various chemical reactions and molecular rearrangements. It is accelerated under conditions of inflammation, oxidative stress, and hyperglycemia, which stimulate the formation of dicarbonyls. AGE-modified proteins are cleared by receptor mediated uptake and intracellular degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, or autophagy. The resulting AGE-modified peptides are cleared from the body by the kidneys. The glyoxalase system detoxifies MGO, which is a dicarbonyl and an important AGE precursor. These clearance and detoxification systems are negatively impacted by aging and inflammation/oxidative stress. Figure created with Biorender.com (accessed on 24 April 2023).

Diagram of the ultrasonic data and energy transmission system. It consists of outside and inside blocks. The outside block is responsible for sending energy to the inside block by means of ultrasonic waves. The inside block is responsible for modulating the acoustic impedance of its transducer as digital data. The driver generates the electrical signal to be applied to the transducer; the transducer converts the electrical signal into mechanical vibration and vice-versa; the transmitter modulates the transducer’s acoustic impedance by short-circuiting its terminals; the physical barrier acts as the acoustic channel.
