Soluble RAGE (sRAGE) is a truncated form of RAGE functioning as an inhibitor of AGE-mediated signalling. We studied relationships between sRAGE, renal function and genetic variability in the AGER gene in diabetic subjects. Study comprised a total of 265 diabetics (type 1 or 2 or LADA) with normoalbuminuria (n=94) or DN (n=171). sRAGE (assessed by ELISA) was significantly higher in DN than normoalbuminuria subjects (P=0.007) and positively correlated with age, S-urea, S-creatinine and albuminuria and AGEs (determined spectrofluorimetrically), negatively with GFR (all P<0.05); however, multivariate regression revealed that GFR was the only independent variable associated with sRAGE (P=0.047). sRAGE did not correspond with carrier state of risk-haplotype copies (RAGE2) (P>0.05). In conclusion, GFR is a principal determinant of sRAGE concentration and gradual sRAGE increase in subjects with advancing impairment of renal function is paralleled by AGEs ER -
