The expression of AGER, BAX and BCL2 genes. Comparison of the expression of the AGER, and BAX/BCL2 ratio between PBMC-isolated from subjects with diabetes with preserved osteogenic differentiation potential (DM-pD) and PBMC-isolated from diabetics with impaired osteogenic differentiation potential (DM-iD) by using age- and pentosidine-matched PBMC-isolated from non-diabetics with preserved osteogenic differentiation (NDM-pD) as a reference group. DM-iD showed higher expression of AGER and BAX/BCL2 ratio than the reference by 6.6 and 5.0 times, respectively, while DM-pD showed similar expression of AGER and BAX/BCL2 ratio to the reference. The expression of AGER and BAX/BCL2 ratio in DM-iD was significantly higher than that in DM-pD.
