Transient receptor potential canonical 6 knockdown ameliorated diabetic kidney disease by inhibiting nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 expression in glomerular mesangial cells
CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that inhibition of TRPC6/NFAT2 signaling attenuates GMC dysfunction and the development of DKD and suggest that pharmacological targeting of TRPC6/NFAT2 in GMCs may provide beneficial effects for DKD.PMID:36285371 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2022.2134796

Fine-tuning of microglia polarization prevents diabetes-associated cerebral atherosclerosis
In this study, we showed that polarization of microglia, the resident macrophage in the central nervous system, appeared to play a critical role in the pathological progression of cerebral atherosclerosis. Microglia likely underwent an M2c-like polarization in an environment long exposed to high glucose. Experimental suppression of microglia M2c polarization was achieved through transduction of microglia with an adeno-associated virus (serotype AAV-PHP.B) carrying siRNA for interleukin-10 (IL-10) under the control of a microglia-specific TMEM119 promoter, which significantly attenuated diabetes-associated cerebral atherosc...

SIRT3 attenuates coronary atherosclerosis in diabetic patients by regulating endothelial cell function
CONCLUSION: SIRT3 was associated with the progression of atherosclerosis in T2DM patients through upregulation of PPAR-α and eNOS and downregulation of iNOS, which are involved in endothelial dysfunction under hyperglycemic conditions.PMID:35791925 | DOI:10.1002/jcla.24586

Metformin Improves the Senescence of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells in a High-Glucose State Through E2F1
In this study, we explored whether metformin improves a high-glucose-induced senescence and fibrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells through cell cycle-related protein E2F1. In the in vivo experiments, the recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV-shE2F1) knockdown E2F1 gene was injected into the tail vein of 16-weeks-old db/db mice for 8 weeks. The 16-week-old db/db mice were administered metformin (260 mg/kg/d) continuously for 8 weeks. The normal control group (NC) and diabetic model group (DM) were set up simultaneously. Mice renal tubular epithelial cells (mRTECs) were cultured in vitro. The cells were randomly div...

PlGF Reduction Compromises Angiogenesis in Diabetic Foot Disease Through Macrophages
Diabetic foot disease (DFD) is a common and serious complication for diabetes and is characterized with impaired angiogenesis. In addition to the well-defined role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -A and its defect in the pathogenesis of DFD, another VEGF family member, placental growth factor (PlGF), was also recently found to alter expression pattern in the DFD patients with undetermined mechanisms. This question was thus addressed in the current study. We detected attenuated PlGF upregulation in a mouse DFD model. In addition, the major cell types at the wound to express the unique PlGF receptor, VEGF recept...

A novel role of kallikrein-related peptidase 8 in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiac fibrosis
Conclusions: The present findings uncovered a novel pro-EndMT mechanism during the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiac fibrosis via the upregulation of KLK8, and may contribute to the development of future KLK8-based therapeutic strategies for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Tangshen Formula Alleviates Hepatic Steatosis by Inducing Autophagy Through the AMPK/SIRT1 Pathway
Conclusion In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that autophagy was involved in relieving the effects of TSF against NAFLD, which were mediated by the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway (Figure 7D). These findings may improve our current understanding of the role of TSF in treating hepatic steatosis and provide an experimental basis for the clinical application of TSF in NAFLD and its related metabolic syndrome. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. The protocol was approved by the Ethics Co...

Resveratrol Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing via SIRT1-FOXO1-c-Myc Signaling Pathway-Mediated Angiogenesis
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the positive role of RES in diabetic wound healing via its SIRT1-dependent endothelial protection and pro-angiogenic effects involves the inhibition of FOXO1 and the de-repression of c-Myc expression. Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with an increasing incidence worldwide (Zimmet et al., 2014). The disease often leads to the development of serious complications such as microangiopathy, mainly including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and diabetic non-healing skin ulcers (Zheng et al., 2018). Diabetic non-healing skin ulcers such as foot ulcers are ca...

TonEBP Suppresses the HO-1 Gene by Blocking Recruitment of Nrf2 to Its Promoter
Discussion Dynamic changes in the functional phenotype of macrophages are associated with pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases (5–7). TonEBP primes macrophages toward an M1 phenotype, which has pro-inflammatory properties. TonEBP does this by promoting expression of pro-inflammatory genes via interaction with NF-κB (36) and by binding directly to the promoter (37, 64). In addition, TonEBP suppresses expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 by limiting chromatin access to the promoter (37). The pro-inflammatory function of TonEBP suggests that inhibiting its expression or activation could suppres...
