One of the brain changes that occurs in<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HD<\/jats:styled-content>is the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>), a receptor protein capable of activating multiple signalling pathways by interacting with a range of ligands leading to either beneficial or harmful effects to the cell. Here, we demonstrate in human<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HD<\/jats:styled-content>brains a high degree of co\u2010localization of<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>with its putative ligands S100B and N\u2010carboxymethyllysine (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CML<\/jats:styled-content>) in the caudate nucleus (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CN<\/jats:styled-content>) and the subependymal layer (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SEL<\/jats:styled-content>). The level of co\u2010staining for both<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010S100B and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CML<\/jats:styled-content>was the highest in the astrocytes but was low in neurons and microglia. The immunostaining for<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>, S100B and<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CML<\/jats:styled-content>extended in a medio\u2010lateral (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SEL<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CN<\/jats:styled-content>) direction with increasing grade, such that any change in the expression and co\u2010localization pattern between grades was less prominent in the lateral<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CN<\/jats:styled-content>. Additionally, signalling molecules that are downstream of<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>activation showed changes in their activation status in<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HD<\/jats:styled-content>brains. A larger number of<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RAGE<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010positive astrocytic cells had<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NF<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">kB<\/jats:styled-content>translocated to the nucleus and the level of phospho\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ERK<\/jats:styled-content>1\/2 was also increased in<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HD<\/jats:styled-content>brains.
