However, cigarette smoking causes a nearly instant drop in circulating sRAGE levels, strongly impacting on the variability in sRAGE levels. In the current study, we investigated the possible mechanism behind the sudden drop in sRAGE upon smoking. We showed that the number of activated neutrophils in blood significantly increases within two hours upon smoking three cigarettes within one hour. Furthermore, an increased expression of the leukocyte activation marker CD11b, which is a known ligand for RAGE, was observed upon smoking. Additionally, the <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> activation of neutrophils increased their capacity to bind sRAGE. Together, these data indicate that smoking activates neutrophils in the circulation with concomitant upregulation of the RAGE ligand CD11b, leading to reduced levels of sRAGE in serum.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00408-022-00585-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,25]],"date-time":"2022-10-25T12:04:17Z","timestamp":1666699457000},"page":"687-690","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Decrease in Serum sRAGE Levels Upon Smoking is Associated with Activated Neutrophils"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"200","author":[{"given":"Valerie R.","family":"Wiersma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan J.
