Anti-fibrotic cardioprotection of berberine via down-regulating myocardial IGF-1 receptor-regulated MMP-2/9 expression in diabetic rats.
Abstract
Diabetic cardiac fibrosis increases ventricular stiffness and facilitates occurrence of diastolic dysfunction. Our previous studies have shown that berberine, a natural alkaloid, attenuates cardiac ischemic/reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of long-term berberine treatment on cardiac remodeling in diabetic rats and the underlying mechanisms. Diabetic rats induced by low dose of streptozotocin injection combined with 8-week high-fat diet displayed significant cardiac matrix collagen deposition and dysfunction, while berberine administration (200 mg...

ERK5/KLF2 activation is involved in the reducing effects of puerarin on monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Publication date: August 2018Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, Volume 1864, Issue 8Author(s): Yan Deng, Tingwen Lei, Hongmei Li, Xiaochuan Mo, Zhuting Wang, Hailong OuAbstractPuerarin has properties of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, which has been demonstrated protective effects in atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. However, the detail molecular mechanism still remains unclear. Here, we determined whether the atheroprotective effect of puerarin was by reducing monocyte adhesion and explored the underlying mechanism. The results showed that puerarin dose- and ti...

Activation of the CXCL16/CXCR6 pathway promotes lipid deposition in fatty livers of apolipoprotein E knockout mice and HepG2 cells.
This study aimed to investigate the role of CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) in NAFLD under inflammation. We used IL-1β stimulation in human hepatoblastoma cell line (HepG2) for in vitro studies and casein injection in apolipoprotein E knockout mice in vivo to induce inflammatory stress. The effects of inflammation on cholesterol accumulation were examined by histochemical staining and a quantitative intracellular cholesterol assay. The gene and protein expression of molecules involved in CXCL16/CXCR6 pathway and extracellular matrix (ECM) were examined by real-time polyme...

High-fat diet consumption reduces hepatic folate transporter expression via nuclear respiratory factor-1
AbstractFolate is an essential micronutrient for biological function. The liver, a primary organ for folate metabolism and storage, plays an important role in folate homeostasis. Proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) and reduced folate carrier (RFC) are the major folate transporters responsible for folate uptake at basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. Low serum folate levels are frequently associated with obesity. We investigated the mechanism that regulated folate status in a mouse model with diet-induced obesity. Mice (C57BL/6J) were fed a high-fat diet (60% kcal fat) for 8 weeks. Mice displayed increased hepatic li...

Yangonin protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through farnesoid X receptor
ConclusionsYangonin protects against NAFLD due to its activation of FXR signalling to inhibit hepatic lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis, and to promote lipid metabolism and glycogen synthesis, as well as insulin sensitivity.Graphical abstract

Palmitate aggravates proteinuria-induced cell death and inflammation via CD36-inflammasome axis in the proximal tubular cells of obese mice.
In this study, we investigated the roles of CD36 and NLRP3 inflammasomes in FFA-induced renal injury in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. HFD-fed C57BL/6 mice and palmitate-treated HK2 renal tubular cells were used as in vivo and in vitro models. Immunohistochemical staining showed that CD36, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels increased progressively in the kidneys of HFD-fed mice. Sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO), a CD36 inhibitor, attenuated the HFD-induced upregulation of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18 and suppressed the colocalization of NLRP3 and ASC in renal tubular cells. In vitro, SSO abolished the palmitate-induced activation...

Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor activates AMPK-SIRT6 pathway to prevent aging-related adipose deposition induced by metabolic disorder.
Abstract
Rolipram is a selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor that exerts a variety of effects, including anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-tumor effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rolipram on metabolic disorder and its underlying mechanisms. Metabolic disorder was induced in 8-week-old wild type BABL/c mice by administration of D-galactose for 4 weeks. Simultaneously the mice were administered vehicle or rolipram. Alternatively, beginning at 3 or 21 months, the mice were administered db-cAMP for 3 months, with or without a high-fat-diet (HFD) to induce metabolic d...

Exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, reduces hepatic steatosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress by inducing nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 nuclear translocation.
Abstract
Activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has been reported to reduce hepatic steatosis, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated whether exendin-4 (EX-4), a GLP-1 receptor analogue, improves hepatic steatosis through ER stress reduction. Furthermore, we explored which ER stress pathway is involved in this process, with a focus on the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK)-nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. EX-4 treatment redu...

Abstract
Resveratrol reportedly promotes the improvement of cardiac dysfunction and other cardiovascular diseases. Studies demonstrate resveratrol exhibits a set of benefits, including anti-oxidative property, anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation. However, the molecular mediators of resveratrol-induced cardiac benefits are still not fully disclosed. Present study aims to investigate whether estrogen-related receptor (...

Commensal lactic acid-producing bacteria affect host cellular lipid metabolism through various cellular metabolic pathways: Role of mTOR, FOXO1, and autophagy machinery system
ConclusionLAPB prevent high- fat diet/endotoxin/inflammation-mediated disruption of normal cellular lipid metabolism by inhibiting mTOR/FOXO1/NF-kB activity and enhancing the occurrence of autophagy. This may be a molecular basis by which LAPB enhance intrinsic cellular tolerance against excess calorie consumption and participate in homeostatic regulation of metabolic processes in vivo.Graphical abstract
