Methylglyoxal induces p53 activation and inhibits mTORC1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Abstract Methylglyoxal (MGO), a precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), is regarded as a pivotal mediator of vascular damage in patients with diabetes. We have previously reported that MGO induces transcriptional changes compatible with p53 activation in cultured human endothelial cells...

Methylglyoxal induces p53 activation and inhibits mTORC1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
