Abstract
Now the role of the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and its isoforms in the pathogenesis of asthma is discussed. The aim was to review national and foreign literature on the role of RAGE in the pathogenesis of asthma. The search was performed in the PubMed and RISC databases. Results. The available literature data allow considering RAGE as a possible biomarker of the disease or to use the ligand-RAGE axis as a target for therapeutic intervention. Conclusion. This subject requires further experimental and clinical studies for the possible development of new approaches to the management of patients with asthma.
