Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we isolated AGEs-binding factor of MW 70kDa by affinity chromatography from lung extract to elucidate the pathophysiological significance of AGEs in inflammatory sites, and to develop the novel targeted therapeutics. The binding between AGEs and RAGE was shown to be inhibited by AGEs-binding factor with dose-dependency, particularly by two different peptides in N-terminal region. These findings indicated the formation of functional complex in several inflammatory conditions.
