Abstract

S100/calgranulin polypeptides are present at sites of inflammation, likely released by inflammatory cells targeted to such loci by a range of environmental cues. We report here that receptor for AGE (RAGE) is a central cell surface receptor for EN-RAGE (extracellular newly identified RAGE-binding protein) and related members of the S100/calgranulin superfamily. Interaction of EN-RAGEs with cellular RAGE on endothelium, mononuclear phagocytes, and lymphocytes triggers cellular activation, with generation of key proinflammatory mediators. Blockade of EN-RAGE/RAGE quenches delayed-type hypersensitivity and inflammatory colitis in murine models by arresting activation of central signaling pathways and expression of inflammatory gene mediators. These data highlight a novel paradigm in inflammation and identify roles for EN-RAGEs and RAGE in chronic cellular activation and tissue injury.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Activation of RAGE by its ligands upregulates inflammatory signalling pathways including NF-κB, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, JAK-STAT and MAPK, leading to induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF.

    “Activation of RAGe by its ligands results in the upregulation of several inflammatory signalling pathways, including, but not limited to, NF-κb, phospho inositide 3-kinase, Janus kinase (JAK)–signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and MAPK signalling pathways, which lead to induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF19,91,95,96.”

  • RAGE recognizes S100 family members.

    “In addition to AGes, RAGe also recognizes HMGb193 and the S100 family members19, which are released during cellular stress and necrotic cell death, and β-amyloid94, the accumulation of which is pathogenic in Alzheimer's disease.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
