Resveratrol (RSV) ameliorates endothelial dysfunction (ED) primarily through sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). Increasing evidence shows pyroptosis as a novel mechanism in palmitic acid (PA)-induced ED. p66Shc is an adaptor protein involved in oxidative stress. However, whether RSV attenuates the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome via p66Shc remains elusive. This study aims to evaluate whether the antipyroptotic effect of RSV and the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 are related to p66Shc. High-fat diet (HFD) induced obesity in mice, and RSV was administered intragastrically with 400mg/kg/d for 22 successive weeks. The serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 were analyzed, and the expression of related proteins were assayed with immunohistochemistry in the thoracic aorta. human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were induced by PA, then treated with RSV and EX527 respectively, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and expression of p66Shc, NLRP3, GSDMD and pyroptosis-related genes were assayed. RSV administration ameliorated endothelial cell pyroptosis by decreasing serum IL-1β and IL-18, the expression of NLRP3, p66Shc, and gasdermin D (GSDMD), and increasing the expression of SIRT1 in the HFD-treated thoracic aorta. PA promoted GSDMD-mediated endothelial cell pyroptosis by ROS production, LDH release, decreased MMP and SIRT1 expression, increased expression of p66Shc and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in a dose-dependent manner. RSV attenuated PA-induced pyroptosis, whereas EX527 reversed the antipyroptotic effect of RSV in PA-treated HUVECs. Our results suggested a new mechanism that RSV improves PA-induced pyroptosis in endothelial cells via the SIRT1-p66Shc-NLRP3 pathway.

Given resveratrol's (RES) potential as an anti-aging agent, this study explored its ability to inhibit the NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome through the miR-217/SIRT1 axis in senescent endothelial cells. Male C57BL/6 mice were administered a customized regular diet supplemented with 0.04 % RES for 64 consecutive weeks. Subsequently, the effects of RES on senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by H2O2 were evaluated. Gene expression analyses were conducted following SIRT1 knockdown in HUVECs treated with H2O2 and RES, or transfected with miR-217 mimics and inhibitors. The study found that RES reduced body weight, improved endothelial function, enhanced SIRT1 expression, and suppressed the expression of miR-217, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), and NLRP3 in the senescent thoracic aorta. Additionally, RES significantly reduced the expression of NOX4, X-box binding protein 1 spliced (XBP1s), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in a dose-dependent manner in senescent HUVECs. SIRT1 knockdown resulted in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by upregulating NOX4 and XBP1s expression, an effect that was partially attenuated by RES pretreatment. RES also suppressed the expression of miR-217 induced by H2O2. The miR-217 mimic facilitated cellular senescence; however, RES mitigated this effect, which was further amplified by the miR-217 inhibitor.

Although Liraglutide (Lira) increases serum irisin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is unclear whether it induces expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) of adipocytes via promoting irisin secretion from skeletal muscle. Male T2DM rats were treated with 0.4 mg/kg/d Lira twice a day for 8 weeks, and the protein expression of phosphorylated AMP kinase (p-AMPK), phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (p-ACC1) and UCP1 in white adipose tissues were detected. Differentiated C2C12 cells were treated with palmitic acid (PA) and Lira to detect the secretion of irisin. Differentiated 3T3-L1 cells were treated with irisin, supernatant from Lira-treated C2C12 cells, Compound C or siAMPK alpha 1, the triglyceride (TG) content and the related gene expression were measured. The transcriptome in irisin-treated differentiated 3T3-L1 cells was analyzed. Lira elevated serum irisin levels, decreased the adipocyte size and increased the protein expression of UCP1, p-AMPK and p-ACC1 in WAT. Moreover, it promoted the expression of PGC1 alpha and FNDC5, the secretion of irisin in PA-treated differentiated C2C12 cells. The irisin and supernatant decreased TG synthesis and promoted the expression of browning- and lipolysis-related genes in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. While Compound C and siAMPK alpha 1 blocked AMPK activities and expression, irisin partly reversed the pathway. Finally, the transcriptome analysis indicated that differently expressed genes are mainly involved in browning and lipid metabolism. Overall, our findings showed that Lira modulated muscle-to-adipose signaling pathways in diabetes via irisin-mediated AMPK alpha/ACC1/UCP1/PPAR alpha pathway. Our results suggest a new mechanism for the treatment of T2DM by Lira.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder syndrome caused by various pathogenic factors leading to imbalance of active substance secretion and endothelial dysfunction, causing macro and micro vascular complications. As the most important signal transduction molecule released by endothelium, NO participates in various physiological processes of microcirculation and plays an important role in vascular relaxation regulation. Extensive studies focus on the investigation of the analysis of NO transport in microvessels, RBC motion and its influence on NO transport since they are of extremely importance for understanding the mechanisms of vessel autoregulation and microcirculation lesion. NO transport characteristics are closely associated with hemorheology, hemodynamics and microvascular structure. Nevertheless, up to date, there are limited reports on NO transport characteristics in diabetic mellitus. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current advances in the investigation of NO transport characteristics from cellular to vascular level, which can provide effective ideas for the early diagnosis of vascular complications in diabetes.

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although there is also evidence that multifactorial interventions to control blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profiles can reduce macrovascular complications and mortality in patients with T2DM, the link between these risk factors has not been established. Methods On 10 December 2018, 1,920 people in four cities in Anhui Province were included. Latent category analysis (LCA) was used to explore the clustering mode of HRBs (health risk behaviors). The primary exposure was HRBs and exercise and diet interventions, and the primary outcome was CVD and other variables, including zMS, triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), TyG-WC (waist circumference), TyG-BMI, TG/HDL, and cardiovascular health (CVH). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to establish the relationship between HRBs, exercise, diet interventions, and CVD. Moderate analysis and mediation moderation analysis were employed by the PROCESS method to explore the relationship between these variables. Sensitivity analysis explored the robustness of the model. Results The mean age was 57.10 ± 10.0 years old. Overall, CVD affects approximately 19.9% of all persons with T2DM. Macrovascular complications of T2DM include coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac insufficiency, and cerebrovascular disease. Elderly age (χ 2 = 22.70), no occupation (χ 2 = 20.97), medium and high socioeconomic status (SES) (χ 2 = 19.92), higher level of TyG-WC (χ 2 = 6.60), and higher zMS (χ 2 = 7.59) were correlated with high CVD. Many metabolic indices have shown a connection with T2DM combined with CVD, and there was a dose−response relationship between HRB co-occurrence and clustering of HRBs and zMS; there was a dose−response relationship between multifactorial intervention and CVH. In the mediation moderation analysis, there was an association between HRB, gender, TyG, TyG-BMI, and CVD. From an intervention management perspective, exercise and no diet intervention were more significant with CVD; moreover, there was an association between intervention management, gender, zMS, TyG-WC, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL, and CVD. Finally, there was an association between sex, CVH, and CVD. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that our results were robust. Conclusions CVD is one of the common complications in patients with type 2 diabetes, and its long-term outcome will have more or less impact on patients. Our findings suggest the potential benefits of scaling up multifactorial and multifaceted interventions to prevent CVD in patients with T2DM.

Liraglutide (LRG), one agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R), has multiple lipid-lowering effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus, however, studies on the role of LRG in saturated fatty acid-induced bone loss are limited. Therefore, our aim was to investigate whether LRG reduces palmitate (PA)-induced apoptosis and whether the mechanism involves PKA/β-catenin/Bcl-2/Bax in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of PA, LRG, or pretreated with Exendin 9-39 and H89, cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), cAMP levels, apoptosis and the expression of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylation of PKA (p-PKA), β-catenin and phosphorylation of β-catenin (Ser675)(p-β-catenin), GLP1R, cleaved-capase 3, Bcl2-Associated X Protein (Bax) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) along with expression of Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were evaluated. PA treatment inhibited cell proliferation and cAMP levels, elevated intracellular ROS levels and promoted apoptosis, increased protein expressions of RANKL, Bax and cleaved-caspase3, meanwhile decreased protein expression of OPG and Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. LRG inverted PA-induced apoptosis, increased cAMP levels, promoted expression of p-PKA, p-β-catenin (Ser675) and reversed these gene expressions via increasing GLP1R expression. Pretreatment of the cells with Exendin 9-39 and H89 partially eradicated the protective effect of LRG on PA-induced apoptosis and gene expressions. Therefore, these findings indicated that LRG attenuates PA-induced apoptosis possibly by GLP1R-mediated PKA/β-catenin/Bcl-2/Bax pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our results point to LRG as a new strategy to attenuate bone loss associated with high fat diet beyond its lipid-lowering actions.

A diabetogenic high fat diet (HFD) can be used to induce insulin resistance and obesity in animal models; however, its effects on bone are unknown. We investigated the effects of long term HFD on bone in ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. We used 12-week-old female rats divided randomly into four groups: sham operation (sham), sham operation with HFD (SHFD), OVX and OVX with HFD (OVX + HFD). Ovaries were removed in the OVX and OVX + HFD groups and the SHFD and OVX + HFD groups were fed a HFD for 28 weeks. Serum estrogen, testosterone, lipid, adiponectin, leptin, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and N-mid fragment of osteocalcin (N-MID-OT) levels were measured. Structure, apoptosis and specific transcription factors in bone were evaluated using pathologic, densitometric and immunohistochemical analysis. Body weight, serum leptin, TRAP and testosterone levels were increased, while serum N-MID-OT, estrogen and adiponectin levels were decreased in the SHFD, OVX and OVX + HFD groups. Expression of BCL2-associated X protein, caspase-3, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and calcitonin was increased, while bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) in femurs and lumbar spine, and expression of B cell lymphoma 2, type 1 collagen and osteocalcin were decreased in the bones of the SHFD, OVX and OVX + HFD groups. All indices were greatest in the OVX + HFD group and HFD produced a detrimental effect on bone in both normal and OVX rats, which may be due to increased apoptosis in bone and increased leptin and decreased adiponectin levels in serum. The effects of HFD and OVX may be synergistic.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a modified Xiaohua Funing decoction (Xfd) on acute liver failure (ALF) and determine whether the protective mechanisms are related to alterations in the gut microbiota. Methods An animal model of ALF was induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (D-Gal, 0.5 g/kg) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 μg/kg). Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the following 4 groups: the control group (saline, Con), model group (D-Gal/LPS, Mod), silymarin pretreatment group (200 mg/kg, Sil), and modified Xfd pretreatment group (650 mg/kg, Xfd). The Sil and Xfd groups received the respective intervention orally for 14 days and 2 h before D-Gal/LPS treatment. The liver injury markers included alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and liver histology. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to assess the effects on the caecum content. Results D-Gal/LPS treatment caused severe ALF, illustrating that the ALF model was successfully established. The administration of Sil and Xfd greatly reduced the serum ALT and AST levels and improved the pathological signs of liver injury. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups. In contrast to the Mod group, the Sil and Xfd groups showed a shift toward the Con group in terms of the gut microbiota structure. The abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and the Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio in the Mod group significantly differed from those in the Con group. The Sil and Xfd groups showed restoration of the disordered microbiota. Significantly increased relative abundances of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Candidatus_Saccharimonas and a markedly decreased Muribaculaceae abundance were found in the Sil and Xfd mice compared with those in the Mod mice (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Interestingly, a negative correlation was observed between the abundances of the gut microbiota constituents, specifically Clostridia_UCG-014, and ALT and AST levels. Conclusion In summary, our results indicate that Xfd may protect the liver and modify the gut microbiota in ALF mice.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (DM-CKD) and identify the associated factors in patients attending primary hospitals in Anhui Province, China.METHODS:A multi-stage sampling method was used to collect the demographic information, general clinical data, and details of the kidney disease of patients in 2019 through a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory examination.RESULTS:A total of 1067 patients with T2DM were studied, of whom 345 had chronic kidney disease (CKD; 32.33%); 18.8%, 12.2%, 58.0%, 9.9% and 1.2% of the participants had stages 1 to 5 CKD. Fifty-point-three percent of the participants were female and they were 59 ± 11.3 years old. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that age, systolic blood pressure, the duration of diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and smoking were associated with DM-CKD. The duration of diabetes was positively associated with body mass index, 2-hour postprandial glucose, fasting blood glucose concentration, glycosylated haemoglobin, total cholesterol concentration and triglyceride concentration.CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of DM-CKD is relatively high in primary hospitals in Anhui Province. Appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures should be instituted according to the age, the duration of diabetes, sex, hypertension, smoking habits, and lipidaemia of patients.

Liraglutide (LRG), a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue (GLP1A), could decrease body mass of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but the exact molecular mechanism of LRG has not been elucidated. This study was performed to explore whether LRG regulated TG synthesis via secretion of FGF21 and modulating AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) pathway in an autocrine mode. Two-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed high-fat diet (HFD) for 4 months followed by injection of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to induce state of T2DM. Then DM mice were given LRG (0.4 mg/kg/d) for 4 months. Body mass, serum lipids and FGF21 levels, related gene expression were analyzed. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells were treated with palmitic acid and different concentrations of LRG. Then Exendin (9-39), siRNA targeted to liver kinase B1 (LKB1) and Compound C were used to confirm the signaling pathway. LRG decreased adipocyte size, increased secretion of FGF21, and promoted phosphorylation of LKB1, AMPK and Acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1 (ACC1) in white adipose tissue (WAT) of DM mice. LRG also increased phosphorylation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), LKB1, AMPK and ACC1 via FGF21 secretion, which ultimately inhibited synthesis of TG in macrophage. In conclusion, FGF21 is induced to be expressed in macrophage by LRG, which then activates LKB1-AMPK-ACC1 pathway in an autocrine manner. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Macrovascular disease is tightly associated with obesity-induced metabolic syndrome. Sitagliptin (SIT), an orally stable selective inhibitor of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), has protective effects on endothelium. However, the mechanisms enabling SIT to exhibit resistance to diet-induced obesity (DIO) related with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the aorta and endothelial cells have not been reported yet. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine if SIT exerts protective role in the thoracic aortas isolated from the high-fat diet (HFD)-treated rats and palmitate (PA)-treated endothelial cells by alleviating ROS and ER stress. Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into standard chow diet (SCD), HFD and HFD plus sitagliptin administration (HFD + SIT) groups. The rats of latter two groups were given HFD fodder for 12 weeks, then the HFD + SIT rats were treated with SIT (10 mg/kg/d) by intragastric administration for another 8 weeks. The body mass, vascular tension, serum oxidative stress indices and inflammatory parameters, pathological changes, protein expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the genes associated with ER stress and apoptosis in the thoracic aorta were measured. Furthermore, cell proliferation, ROS and the protein expression associated with ER stress (especially CHOP) and apoptosis were assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) incubated with SIT and PA. Compared to the SCD rats, the HFD rats had higher serum lipid levels, decreased vascular tension, increased inflammation, oxidative and ER stress, and apoptosis of endothelial cells. PA promoted ROS generation, ER stress and apoptosis, inhibited cell proliferation in HUVECs. SIT treatment obviously ameliorated apoptosis via alleviating ROS and ER stress in the thoracic aortas isolated from HFD-fed rats and PA-treated HUVECs. The results suggest that SIT improved endothelial function via promoting cell proliferation and alleviating ROS-ER stress-CHOP pathway both in vivo and in vitro.

The aim of this study was to explore changes in the microvascular tone as measured by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and the microcirculation structure of the dorsal skin of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The diabetic rat model was induced by a diet of high-sugar and high-lipid fodder combined with the injection of streptozotocin into the abdominal cavity. Depending on the interval between the development of diabetes and the experiments, the diabetic rats were subdivided into three groups. The evaluation of microvascular tone was based on the amplitude responses of the LDF signal fluctuations in the appropriate frequency range in the dorsal skin of the rats during a thermal test (at 42 °C). The nitric oxide (NO) level in plasma was also used as a marker of endothelial dysfunction. Changes in the microcirculation structure in the diabetic rats were estimated by measuring the microvascular density in the choke vessels of the dorsal skin of the rats. The experimental results with respect to red blood cell (RBC)–related parameters showed decreased hematocrit and hemoglobin levels and increased standard deviation of the width of the RBC distribution in three diabetic rats. The increasing fluctuation amplitudes diminished in the endothelial frequency range in response to the thermal test and this was accompanied by abnormal NO levels in plasma of the diabetic groups as compared with healthy rats. A significant reduction in the microvascular density of the choke vessels of the dorsal skin was found only in the diabetic group at the most advanced stage of diabetes in this experiment. Thus, we suggest that endothelial dysfunction occurs in diabetic rats and changes in the microcirculation structure of the dorsal skin occur in a later stage of diabetes development. A.

Diabetes is frequently associated with structural and functional impairment of the microcirculation. Blood perfusion is an important indicator of both physiological and pathological conditions of the microcirculation. Given that temperature is closely related to blood perfusion and is more easily measured, blood perfusion can be estimated from variations in skin temperature using an inverse method. The aim of this paper was to develop a thermal analysis method for estimation of blood perfusion and apply it in the assessment of skin blood perfusion in diabetic rats. First, diabetes was induced in the rat models of the experimental group. Skin temperature from the rats left hind paws was measured during a 10-min local heating period followed by a 15-min cooling period. A simple one-dimensional heat transfer model, including an arteriolar vessel node, was used to describe the skin heat transfer process. The blood perfusion of the arteriole was estimated by correlating the calculated skin temperature with known experimental temperatures using a genetic algorithm. The results indicated that the average blood perfusion in the control group was higher during local heating and decreased faster during the cooling period, showing dynamic responses to the thermal stimuli. In contrast, the blood perfusion of diabetic rats was reduced compared with that of the control rats during the heating phase and the rate of decrease in perfusion during the cooling stage was similarly reduced, implying a slower response to thermal stimulation in these rats. It is interesting to note that diabetic rats fed a normal diet showed a similar blood perfusion pattern to that in the control rats, implying that diet may be important in the treatment of diabetes-associated microvascular dysfunction.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect and preliminary mechanism of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsules( DJC) on liver of hyperlipidemic rats. The hyperlipidemia models were successfully made by high-fat diet for 12 weeks in male SD rats,and then divided into model control group and DJC treatment groups( 500 and 1 000 mg·kg~(-1)·d-1) via gavage administration for additional 8 weeks.The levels of serum lipid and liver metabolism indices were detected; HE and oil red O staining were used to observe the pathological changes of liver. Expression levels of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2( ERK1/2),c-Jun N-terminal kinase( JNK),and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase( p38 MAPK) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR). Expression of MCP-1,phosphorylated ERK( p-ERK),phosphorylated JNK( p-JNK),and phosphorylated p38 MAPK( p-p38) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The results showed that DJC decreased body weight and serum levels of total cholesterol( TC),triglyceride( TG),alanine aminotransferase( ALT),aspartate aminotransferase( AST),increased serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C) level,ameliorate injury and lipid deposition in the liver induced by the high-fat diet,decreased mRNA expression of ERK1/2,JNK and p-38 MAPK as well as protein expression of p-ERK,p-JNK,p-p38,and MCP-1,somewhat showing a dose-dependent effect. Therefore,DJC has an obvious protective effect on liver of hyperlipidemic rats with certain dose-dependent effect,and the mechanism may be related with inhibiting MAPK pathways and inflammation.
