RAGE does not contribute to renal injury and damage upon ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury

J Innate Immun. 2012;4(1):80-5. doi: 10.1159/000334251. Epub 2011 Nov 4.

Abstract

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) mediates a variety of inflammatory responses in renal diseases, but its role in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is unknown. We showed that during renal I/R, RAGE ligands HMGB1 and S100B are expressed. However, RAGE deficiency does not affect renal injury and function upon I/R-induced injury.
