Functional analysis of the susceptibility haplotype in the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products gene and its role in the hyperglycemia-driven pathology
Original language description
Background and Aims: Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) belongs to the class of membrane receptors recognizing AGEs produced in accelerated rate during hyperglycemia and contributing to the development of diabetic complications. Our previous studies have shown that common haplotype in the RAGE gene (denoted RAGE2) conferred susceptibility to the development and accelerated onset of diabetic nephropathy (frequency 21.7% in nephropathy vs. 12.8% in control diabetic, P=0.015, OR=1.65 [95%CI 1.08-2.5]). The aim of the study was to elucidate the functional role of the RAGE2 susceptibility haplotype in the modulation of RAGE gene transcriptional activity. Materials and Methods: A 788bp PCR fragment of the RAGE promoter region (-738 to +49 relative to the transcription start containing the -429T/C and -374T/A polymorphic variants) was amplified using genomic DNA of homozygous subjects to create all possible haplotypes present in population (i.e.
