Abstract:Effects of carboxymethyllysine (CML), an advanced glycation end-product (AGE), at 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 µmol/l upon invasion and migration of A549 cells, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, were investigated. Results showed that CML at used test doses did not affect A549 cell growth. However, CML at 4-16 µmol/l enhanced both invasion and migration, and stimulated the release of reactive oxygen species, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in A549 cells. CML at 2-16 µmol/l increased protein expression… Show more
