Superior mesenteric artery ischemia and nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia are representative diseases of the vascular emergency known as irreversible transmural intestinal necrosis (ITIN). The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of extracellular ligands, which also includes high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) and proteins of the S100 family. The HMGB-1 ligands have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders. This study was designed to investigate the relation between RAGE and ITIN in a murine acute intestinal ischemic model.
