The accelerated formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is
implicated in diabetic microvascular and macrovascular complications.
The binding of AGEs to their cellular surface receptor (RAGE) induces
vascular dysfunction and in particular an increase in vascular
permeability. We previously demonstrated that rat recombinant RAGE
(rR-RAGE) produced in insect cells corrected the hyperpermeability due
to RAGE-AGE interaction and that pharmacokinetic properties of rR-RAGE
after i.v. administration in rats were compatible with a potential
therapeutic use. In the present study, we showed that recombinant human
RAGE (rH-RAGE) had a similar efficacy in inhibiting AGE-induced
endothelial alteration and in reducing the hyperpermeability observed
in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 125I-rH-RAGE
elimination half-life after i.v. administration was similar in diabetic
and normal rats (53.7 ± 7.6 and 45.3 ± 4.0 h,
respectively). The presence of AGEs is responsible for a higher distribution volume in diabetic rats compared with normal rats (15.3 ± 2.7 and 7.7 ± 0.7 l/kg, respectively).
Immunoreactive 125I-rH-RAGE decreased more rapidly than did
immunoreactive 125I-rR-RAGE. The differences between
125I-rH-RAGE and 125I-rR-RAGE pharmacokinetics
in rat may be related to differences in potential
O-glycosylation and protease cleavage sites between the
two RAGE molecules.
