| Abstract: | Cancer is associated with increased glycolysis and carbonyl stress. In view of this, AGE modified proteins were identified from clinical breast cancer tissue using 2DE-immunoblot and mass-spectrometry. These proteins were identified to be serotransferrin, fibrinogen gamma chain, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, annexin II, prohibitin and peroxiredoxin 6, which have established role in cancer. Further, RAGE expression and its downstream signaling proteins NADPH oxidase and NF-kB were studied. Role of these AGE modified proteins and RAGE signaling in breast cancer is discussed. |
