Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the leading threats to human health. The advanced glycation end product (AGE) and receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling pathway regulates the pathogenesis of CVDs, through its effects on arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, calcium homeostasis, and cytoskeletal function. Targeting the AGE/RAGE pathway is a potential therapeutic strategy for ameliorating CVDs. Vitamin D has several beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Experimental findings have shown that vitamin D regulates AGE/RAGE signaling and its downstream effects. This article provides a comprehensive review of the mechanistic insights into AGE/RAGE involvement in CVDs and the modulation of the AGE/RAGE signaling pathways by vitamin D.
心血管疾病 (CVDs) 是对人类健康的主要威胁之一。晚期糖基化终产物 (AGE) 和 AGE 受体 (RAGE) 信号通路通过影响动脉僵硬、动脉粥样硬化、线粒体功能障碍、氧化应激、钙稳态和细胞骨架功能来调节 CVDs 的发病机制。靶向 AGE/RAGE 通路是改善 CVDs 的一种潜在治疗策略。维生素 D 对心血管系统有多种有益作用。实验结果表明,维生素 D 可调节 AGE/RAGE 信号及其下游效应。本文全面综述了 AGE/RAGE 参与 CVDs 的机制见解,以及维生素 D 对 AGE/RAGE 信号通路的调节。
