Abstract
Introduction: Glycans attached to immunoglobulin G are an important regulator of chronic systemic inflammation, one of the key drivers of aging. As people age, glycans that suppress inflammation are being replaced with inflammation-promoting glycans, but the rate of this conversion is highly individual and is affected by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
Areas covered: This review summarizes key studies of IgG glycosylation changes in aging and disease, effects of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, and mechanisms that regulate IgG glycosylation.
Expert opinion: IgG glycome is an important contributor to the process of aging that can be modulated by both lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Small molecule drugs that would suppress chronic systemic inflammation by modulation of the IgG glycome are still not available, but since gene network regulating IgG glycosylation has been identified and a high-throughput in vitro screening system is available, it is likely that this highly innovative approach to manage chronic systemic inflammation will be developed soon.
期刊介绍：
The journal evaluates molecules, signalling pathways, receptors and other therapeutic targets and their potential as candidates for drug development. Articles in this journal focus on the molecular level and early preclinical studies. Articles should not include clinical information including specific drugs and clinical trials.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering novel disease targets at the molecular level and information on early preclinical studies and their implications for future drug development.
Articles should not include clinical information including specific drugs and clinical trials.
Original research papers reporting results of target selection and validation studies and basic mechanism of action studies for investigative and marketed drugs.
The audience consists of scientists, managers and decision makers in the pharmaceutical industry, academic researchers working in the field of molecular medicine and others closely involved in R&D.
