Mitochondrial quality control mechanisms as molecular targets in diabetic heart
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been regarded as a hallmark of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In addition to their canonical metabolic actions, mitochondria influence various other aspects of cardiomyocyte function, including oxidative stress, iron regulation, metabolic reprogramming, intracellular signaling transduction and cell death. These effects depend on the mitochondrial quality control (MQC) system, which includes mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria are not static entities, but dynamic units that undergo fission and fusion cycles to maintain their structural integrity. (Source: Meta...

Increased risk of incident diabetes after therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor compared with conventional chemotherapy: A longitudinal trajectory analysis using a tertiary care hospital database
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has been emerged as a promising cancer treatment. However, ICI use induces immune-related adverse events, including diabetes mellitus. We compared the risk of new-onset diabetes between patients receiving an ICI and those receiving conventional chemotherapy (CC). (Source: Metabolism - Clinical and Experimental)

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors: A treatment option for recurrent vasovagal syndrome?
The increasing prevalence of metabolic disease, along with cardiometabolic multimorbidity remains a leading healthcare challenge, despite advances in biomarker discovery and a broad pharmacological armamentarium [1 –4]. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors introduced a paradigm shift in the management of diabetes. They have been shown to lower glycated hemoglobin, fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels, body weight, and blood pressure, while also offering cardio- and nephroprotection (Fi g.

Recurrent hypoglycemia increases hepatic gluconeogenesis without affecting glycogen metabolism or systemic lipolysis in rat
Recurrent hypoglycemia (RH) impairs secretion of counterregulatory hormones. Whether and how RH affects responses within metabolically important peripheral organs to counterregulatory hormones are poorly understood. (Source: Metabolism - Clinical and Experimental)

Dysregulated adipose tissue expansion and impaired adipogenesis in Prader-Willi syndrome children before obesity-onset
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic imprinting disorder resulting from the expression loss of genes on the paternally inherited chromosome 15q11 –13. Early-onset life-thriving obesity and hyperphagia represent the clinical hallmarks of PWS. The noncoding RNA gene SNORD116 within the minimal PWS genetic lesion plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of the syndrome. Despite advancements in understanding the genetic basis for PWS, the path ophysiology of obesity development in PWS remains largely uncharacterized. (Source: Metabolism - Clinical and Experimental)

Imipramine activates FAM3A-FOXA2-CPT2 pathway to ameliorate hepatic steatosis
Mitochondrial FAM3A has been revealed to be a viable target for treating diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, its distinct mechanism in ameliorating hepatic steatosis remained unrevealed. High-throughput RNA sequencing revealed that carnitine palmityl transferase 2 (CPT2), one of the key enzymes for lipid oxidation, is the downstream molecule of FAM3A signaling pathway in hepatocytes. Intensive study demonstrated that FAM3A-induced ATP release activated P2 receptor to promote the translocation of calmodulin (CaM) from cytoplasm into nucleus, where it functioned as a co-activator of forkhead box p...

Kdm6a deficiency in microglia/macrophages epigenetically silences Lcn2 expression and reduces photoreceptor dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of severe visual impairment worldwide. However, the role of adaptive immune inflammation driven by microglia/macrophages in DR is not yet well elucidated. Kdm6a is a histone demethylase that removes the trimethyl groups of histones H3K27 and plays important biological roles in activating target genes. To elucidate the role of Kdm6a in microglia/macrophages in diabetic retinas, we established diabetic animal models with conditional knockout mice to investigate the impacts of Kdm6a deficiency.

Pancreatic PCSK9 controls the organization of the β-cell secretory pathway via LDLR-cholesterol axis
Cholesterol is central to pancreatic β-cell physiology and alterations of its homeostasis contribute to β-cell dysfunction and diabetes. Proper intracellular cholesterol levels are maintained by different mechanisms including uptake via the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). In the liver, the proprotein convertase subtilisin/ke xin type 9 (PCSK9) routes the LDLR to lysosomes for degradation, thus limiting its recycling to the membrane. PCSK9 is also expressed in the pancreas and loss of function mutations of PCSK9 result in higher plasma glucose levels and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. (Source: Metabo...
