| Research Abstract |
First, we identified cis-acting regulatory elements and a putative trans-acting factor that may participate in the production of secretory RAGE. Second, we created a secretory RAGE-overexpressing transgenic mouse model, and demonstrated with it that RAGE accounts for the transition of amyloid・into the brain. Further, we also found that RAGE is involved in lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and in phosphatidyl serine-mediated apoptosis.
