Hsa_circ_0000106 Acts as a Tumor Promoter in Pancreatic Cancer by Targeting the MiR-455 –3p/HDAC4
In conclusion, circ_0000106 promotes tumor migration and growth in PC by targeting the miR-455–3p/HDAC4 axis. These results suggest that the circ_0000106/miR-455–3p/HDAC4 network could be regarded as a latent target for PC treatment.

Vitamin D May Play a Vital Role in Alleviating Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Modulating the Ferroptosis Signaling Pathway
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2122-5701Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent death mode mediated by the aggregation of lipid peroxides and lipid-reactive oxygen species. It is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation accompanied by oxidoreductase deficiency. Pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are two major causes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Iron accumulation and metabolism may play a role in the development of T2DM. The molecular mechanism of β cell apoptosis and iron death in T2DM were reviewed. In addition, w...

Assessment of the Degree of Clinical Suspicion of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Prior to the Newborn Screening Result
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 528-535 DOI: 10.1055/a-2111-6571The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical suspicion and where patients were when they received the positive result of the neonatal screening for CAH 21OHD. The present data derived from a retrospective analysis of a relatively large group of patients with classical CAH 21OHD patients nosed by newborn screening in Madrid, Spain. During the period from 1990 to 2015 of this study 46 children were diagnosed with classical 21OHD [36 with the salt-wasting (SW) form and 10 with simple virilizing (SV)]. In 38...

Pharmacological Interventions for Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis: An Umbrella Review
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 511-519 DOI: 10.1055/a-2112-1596There is still a lack of high-quality evidence-based studies on the efficacy of drug treatment for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). The purpose of this umbrella review is to comprehensively evaluate the existing evidence to determine the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions for GIOP. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses (SRs) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed at evaluating drug therapy for GIOP. Both the methodo...

The Role of NF- κB, PPAR-α, and PPAR-γ in Older Adults with Metabolic Syndrome
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2109-1958The etiopathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has not been fully understood yet, and chronic low-grade inflammation is thought to be associated with the development of complications related to MetS. We aimed to investigate the role of Nuclear factor Kappa B ( NF-κB ), Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor- α and γ (PPAR-α, and PPAR-γ) which are the main markers of inflammation in older adults with MetS. A total of 269 patients aged≥18, 188 patients with MetS who met the diagnostic criteria of the Int...

Prognostic Value of hsa_circ_0007615 in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and its Regulatory Effect on Tumor Progression
This study aimed to interrogate the functional and clinical significance of hsa_circ_0007615 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). GSE192410 was screened for upregulated circRNAs in ovarian cancer. The expression levels of hsa_circ_0007615 were evaluated in a patient cohort comprising 113 EOC tissues and matched normal tissues. Subsequently, the prognostic value was confirmed by the relevance of hsa_circ_0007615 with clinical parameters, Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional risk model. Cell functional analyses were performed in EOC cell lines using...

A Study on the Clinical Significance of Blood Exosomal PD-L1 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients and its Correlation with PD-L1 in Tumor Tissues
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2110-7497Exosomal programmed cell-death ligand 1 (ePD-L1) can influence immune inhibition and dysfunction. We were dedicated to unearthing the relation between ePD-L1 in blood and pathological characteristics as well as PD-L1 in tumor tissues. We recruited 65 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients for exosome extraction and detected the blood ePD-L1 expression in these patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Besides, the correlation between blood ePD-L1 and patients’ pathological characteristics was also a...

Metabolomic Profile of Insulin Resistance Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 487-492 DOI: 10.1055/a-2093-0260The aims of this study were in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients: 1) to compare the metabolomic profile of insulin resistance (IR) with controls and 2) to correlate the metabolomic profile with other IR surrogates and SLE disease variables and vitamin levels. In this cross-sectional study, serum samples were collected from women with SLE (n=64) and gender- and age-matched controls (n=71), which were not diabetic. Serum metabolomic profiling was performed using UPLC-MS-MS (Quantse score). HOMA and Q...

Pulsatile Subcutaneous Hydrocortisone Replacement in Primary Adrenal Insufficiency
In conclusions, mimicking endogenous cortisol rhythmicity by ultradian subcutaneous infusion of cortisol is feasible. It was superior to both continuous pump and oral therapy in maintaining normal ACTH levels throughout the 24-h cycle. Our results demonstrate a low free cortisol bioavailability on thrice daily oral replacement therapy compared to both types of subcutaneous infusion.

The Role of Alternative Lymph Node Classification Systems in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (GEP-NEN): Superiority of a LODDS Scheme Over N Category in Pancreatic NEN (pNEN)
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 452-461 DOI: 10.1055/a-2102-7694Lymph node (LN) involvement in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) has been reported to have prognostic and therapeutic implications. Numerous novel LN classifications exist; however, no comparison of their prognostic performance for GEP-NEN has been done yet. Using a nationwide cohort from the German Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Registry, the prognostic and discriminatory power of different LN ratio (LNR) and log odds of metastatic LN (LODDS) classifications were investigated using multi...

Natural History of Non-Functioning Pituitary Adenomas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The objective of this systematic review was to assess the risk of growth, new pituitary endocrinopathies, and surgery in patients with conservatively treated NFPTs. We conducted a bibliographical search identifying studies assessing NFPTs followed conservatively. Estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis reporting events per 100 person years (PYs), in case of high heterogeneity (I2>75%) only the range of observed effects was reported. We identified 30 cohort studies including 1957 patients with a mean follow-up time of 4.0 (SD 1.5) year...

CircRNA SCAR Improves High-Glucose-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Permeability Damage in Retinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells
This study was designed to assess the role and mechanism of circRNA SCAR in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMVECs) treated with high glucose. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) were used to detect the effects of different concentrations of glucose on circRNA SCAR expression and cell proliferation in hRMVECs. Cell viability, levels of oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as well as activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) a...

Immune-Related Genes can Serve as Potential Biomarkers for Predicting Severe Acute Pancreatitis
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2105-6152We aimed to investigate immune-related candidate genes for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). RNA sequencing profile GSE194331 was downloaded, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were investigated. Meanwhile, the infiltration of immune cells in AP were assessed using CIBERSORT. Genes related with the infiltration of immune cells were investigated using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Furthermore, immune subtypes, micro-environment, and DEGs between immune subtypes were explored. ...
