Dnmt1/Tet2-mediated changes in Cmip methylation regulate the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by controlling the Gbp2-Ppar γ-CD36 axis
Exp Mol Med. 2023 Jan 6. doi: 10.1038/s12276-022-00919-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDynamic alteration of DNA methylation leads to various human diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although C-Maf-inducing protein (Cmip) has been reported to be associated with NAFLD, its exact underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate this mechanism in NAFLD in vitro and in vivo. We first identified alterations in the methylation status of the Cmip intron 1 region in mouse liver tissues with high-fat high-sucrose diet-induced NAFLD. Knockdown of DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt) 1 significant...

miR-351 promotes atherosclerosis in diabetes by inhibiting the ITGB3/PIK3R1/Akt pathway and induces endothelial cell injury and lipid accumulation
CONCLUSION: Silencing miR-351 upregulates ITGB3 and activates the PIK3R1/Akt pathway, thereby exerting anti-apoptosis and protective effects on endothelial cells.PMID:36180828 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00547-9

PACS-2 deficiency in tubular cells aggravates lipid-related kidney injury in diabetic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: PACS-2 has a protective role against lipid-related kidney injury in DKD through SOAT1/SREBPs signaling.PMID:36138342 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00545-x

H19 inhibition increases HDAC6 and regulates IRS1 levels and insulin signaling in the skeletal muscle during diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest a critical role for the lncRNA H19-HDAC6 axis in regulating IRS1 levels in the skeletal muscle during diabetes and therefore restoring normal H19 levels might hold a therapeutic potential for the management of aberrant skeletal muscle physiology during insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.PMID:35842608 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00507-3

Dapagliflozin alleviates cardiac fibrosis through suppressing EndMT and fibroblast activation via AMPK α/TGF-β/Smad signalling in type 2 diabetic rats
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) on DCM especially for cardiac fibrosis and explore the underlying mechanism. In vivo, the model of type 2 diabetic rats was built with high-fat feeding and streptozotocin injection. Untreated diabetic rats showed cardiac dysfunction, increased myocardial fibrosis and EndMT, which was attenuated after treatment with DAPA and metformin. In vitro, HUVECs and primary cardiac fibroblasts were treated with DAPA and exposed to high glucose (HG). HG-induced EndMT in HUVECs and collagen secretion of fibroblasts were markedly inhibited by DAPA. Up-regula...

HDAC1 and 2 regulate endothelial VCAM-1 expression and atherogenesis by suppressing methylation of the GATA6 promoter
Conclusions: HDAC1/2 contributes to VCAM-1 expression and atherosclerosis by suppressing STAT3 acetylation-dependent GATA6 promoter methylation. These findings may provide a rationale for HDAC1/2-targeting therapy in atherosclerotic heart disease.

Mesenchymal stromal cells protect hepatocytes from lipotoxicity through alleviation of endoplasmic reticulum stress by restoring SERCA activity.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate how mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) modulate metabolic balance and attenuate hepatic lipotoxicity in the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In vivo, male SD rats were fed with high-fat diet (HFD) to develop NAFLD; then, they were treated twice by intravenous injections of rat bone marrow MSCs. In vitro, HepG2 cells were cocultured with MSCs by transwell and exposed to palmitic acid (PA) for 24 hours. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stressor thapsigargin and sarco/ER Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA2)-specific siRNA were used to explore the regulation of ER s...

ERK1/2 inhibition reduces vascular calcification by activating miR-126-3p-DKK1/LRP6 pathway
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that activation of miR-126-3p production in ECs/SMCs and interactions between ECs and SMCs play an important role in reduction of vascular calcification by ERK1/2 inhibition.
