Rage-related methods for treating inflammation

摘要

The present invention provides a method for treating inflammation in a subject which comprises administering to the subject soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (sRAGE) in an amount effective to inhibit binding of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) to RAGE thereby treating inflammation in the subject. The present invention also provides for a method for treating inflammation in a subject which comprises administering to the subject an agent in an amount effective to inhibit the interaction between receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) and its ligand thereby treating inflammation in the subject.
