Internalization of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is required to mediate intracellular responses.
JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY(2009)
摘要
To dissect the rat receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) subcellular distribution and trafficking in eukaryotic cells, an expression system coding for a fusion protein between the RAGE and an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been used. The RAGEEGFP protein is expressed at the plasma membrane of CHO-k1 and Neuro-2a (N2a) cells and retains the capacity to bind Texas Red-labelled advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs addition to the cell cultures induced a change in the subcellular distribution of the fluorescent RAGEEGFP protein compatible with an internalization of the AGEsRAGE complex. Furthermore, while N2a cells expressing the RAGEEGFP showed an increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation and NF-B DNA binding in response to AGEs, pre-incubation with dansyl-cadaverine or phenylarsine oxide, inhibitors of receptors internalization, blocked the activation of ERKs and other intracellular responses mediated by AGEs. These results suggest that internalization plays a key role in the signal transduction mediated by RAGE.
