Abstract
Irisin, a novel exercise-induced myokine, has been shown to play important roles in increasing white adipose tissue browning, regulating energy metabolism and improving insulin resistance. Growing evidence suggests a direct role for irisin in preventing atherosclerosis (AS) by inhibiting oxidative stress, improving dyslipidemia, facilitating anti-inflammation, reducing cellular damage and recovering endothelial function. In addition, some studies have noted that serum irisin levels play an essential role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risk prediction, highlighting that irisin has the potential to be a useful predictive marker and therapeutic target of AS, especially in monitoring therapeutic efficacy. This review summarizes the understanding of irisin-mediated regulation in essential biological pathways and functions in atherosclerosis and prompts further exploitation of the biological properties of irisin in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Evaluation of serum ghrelin, nesfatin-1, irisin, and vasoactive intestinal peptide levels in temporal lobe epilepsy patients with and without drug resistance: a cross-sectional study. Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992) 2021; 67:207-212.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epilepsy is a common disorder that affects the nervous systems of 1% of worldwide population. In epilepsy, one-third of patients are unresponsive to current drug therapies and develop drug-resistant epilepsy. Alterations in ghrelin, nesfatin-1, and irisin levels with epilepsy were reported in previous studies. Vasoactive intestinal peptide is among the most common neuropeptides in the hippocampus, which is the focus of the seizures in temporal lobe epilepsy. However, there is also lack of evidence of whether these four neuropeptide levels are altered with drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy or not. The aim herein was the evaluation of the serum levels of nesfatin-1, ghrelin, irisin, and Vasoactive intestinal peptide in drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy patients and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) without drug resistance, and to compare them to healthy controls. METHODS This cross-sectional study group included 58 temporal lobe epilepsy patients (24 with drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and 34 with temporal lobe epilepsy who were not drug-resistant) and 28 healthy subjects. Nesfatin-1, ghrelin, irisin, and Vasoactive intestinal peptide serum levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The serum ghrelin levels of patients with drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy were seen to have significantly decreased when compared to those of the control group (p<0.05). Serum nesfatin-1, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and irisin levels were seen to have decreased in the drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy group when compared to those of the control and temporal lobe epilepsy groups; however, the difference was non-significant (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results herein suggested that ghrelin might contribute to the pathophysiology of drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. However, further studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
This study evaluated plasma levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), irisin, and lactate in people living with HIV/AIDS who completed a combined physical training program. Nineteen HIV+ participants (age: 39.60 ± 10.96 years; carrier time: 7.75 ± 7.88 years; time of ART: 6.41 ± 5.93 years) performed strength/aerobic training (combined physical training) in the same session for 8 weeks and levels of BDNF, irisin, and lactate were assessed. BDNF (pg/mL) was higher post-CPT (Pre: 1258.73 ± 372.30; Post: 1504.17 ± 322.30; p < 0.001). Irisin (ng/mL) showed no change (Pre: 115.61 ± 72.41; Post: 125.87 ± 81.14; p = 0.973). There was positive correlation between irisin and lactate (mmol/L) pre (r = 0.55, p = 0.04), and lactate values were higher in the group with the highest value of irisin (3.65 ± 0.69 × 2.82 ± 0.59, p = 0.02). Combined physical training results in increased basal BDNF in people living with HIV/AIDS, this finding suggests that increased concentration of BDNF may be associated with decreased chances of developing cognitive disorders or HIV-associated dementia. Further studies involving molecular mechanisms on this subject are necessary.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is the major cause of death in cardiovascular disease. In vitro and in vivo models are used to find the exercise mode which has the most significant effect on myocardial irisin/FNDC5 expression and illuminate the cardioprotective role and mechanisms of exercise-activated myocardial irisin/FNDC5-PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in myocardial infarction. The results indicated that expression of irisin/FNDC5 in myocardium could be up-regulated by different types of exercise and skeletal muscle electrical stimulation, which then promotes mitophagy and improves cardiac function and the effect of resistance exercise. Resistance exercise can improve cardiac function by activating the irisin/FNDC5-PINK1/Parkin-LC3/P62 pathway, regulating mitophagy and inhibiting oxidative stress. OPA1 may play an important role in the improvement of cardiac function and mitophagy pathway in myocardial infarction mice by irisin-mediated resistance exercise. Resistance exercise is expected to become an effective therapeutic way to promote myocardial infarction rehabilitation.

Abstract
The aging of human populations, including those in Europe, is an indisputable fact. The challenge for the future is not simply prolonging human life at any cost or by any means but rather extending self-sufficiency and quality of life. Even in the most advanced societies, the eternal questions remain. Who will take care of the older generations? Will adult children’s own circumstances be sufficient to support family members as they age? For a range of complex reasons, including socioeconomic conditions, adult children are often unable or unwilling to assume responsibility for the care of older family members. For this reason, it is imperative that aging adults maintain their independence and self-care for as long as possible. Movement is an important part of self-sufficiency. Moreover, movement has been shown to improve patients’ clinical status. At a time when the coronavirus pandemic is disrupting the world, older people are among the most vulnerable. Our paper explores current knowledge and offers insights into the significant benefits of movement for the elderly, including improved immunity. We discuss the biochemical processes of aging and the counteractive effects of exercise and endogenous substances, such as vitamin D.

Abstract
Diabetic encephalopathy (DE) is one of the main chronic complications of diabetes, and is characterized by cognitive defects. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are widely involved in the development of diabetes-related complications. The present study evaluated the role of miR-130b in DE and investigated its mechanisms of action. PC12 cells and hippocampal cells were exposed to a high glucose environment to induce cell injuries to mimic the in vitro model of DE. Cells were transfected with miR-130b mimic, miR-130b inhibitor and small interfering RNA (si)-phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) to evaluate the protective effect of the miR-130b/PTEN axis against oxidative stress in high glucose-stimulated cells involving Akt activity. Furthermore, the effect of agomir-130b was also assessed on rats with DE. The expression of miR-130b was reduced in the DE models in vivo and in vitro. The administration of miR-130b mimic increased the viability of high glucose-stimulated cells, prevented apoptosis, increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content, activated Akt protein levels and inhibited the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway. The administration of miR-130b inhibitor exerted opposite effects, while si-PTEN reversed the effects of miR-130b inhibitor. In vivo, the administration of agomir-130b attenuated cognitive disorders and neuronal damage, increased SOD activity, reduced the MDA content, activated Akt protein levels and inhibited the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway in rats with DE. On the whole, these results suggest that miR-130b activates the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to exert protective effects against oxidative stress injury via the regulation of PTEN in rats with DE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is a major cellular burden that triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants that modulate signalling mechanisms. Byproducts generated from this process govern the brain pathology and functions in various neurological diseases. As oxidative stress remains the key therapeutic target in neurological disease, it is necessary to explore the multiple routes that can significantly repair the damage caused due to ROS and consequently, neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is the critical player of oxidative stress that can also be used as a therapeutic target to combat NDDs. KEY FINDINGS Several antioxidants signalling pathways are found to be associated with oxidative stress and show a protective effect against stressors by increasing the release of various cytoprotective enzymes and also exert anti-inflammatory response against this oxidative damage. These pathways along with antioxidants and reactive species can be the defined targets to eliminate or reduce the harmful effects of neurological diseases. SUMMARY Herein, we discussed the underlying mechanism and crucial role of antioxidants in therapeutics together with natural compounds as a pharmacological tool to combat the cellular deformities cascades caused due to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by intense immune dysregulation, gut microbiota imbalance, and intestinal epithelium destruction. Among the factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD, lymphatics have received less attention, hence less studied, characterized, and explored. However, in recent years, the role of the lymphatic system in gastrointestinal pathophysiology continues to be highlighted. This paper examines the implications of lymphatic changes in IBD pathogenesis related to immune cells, gut microbiota, intestinal and mesenteric epithelial barrier integrity, and progression to colorectal cancer (CRC). Therapeutic targets of lymphatics in IBD studies are also presented. Available studies indicate that lymph nodes and other secondary lymphatic tissues, provide highly specialized microenvironments for mounting effective immune responses and that lymphatic integrity plays a significant role in small intestine homeostasis, where the lymphatic vasculature effectively controls tissue edema, leukocyte exit, bacterial antigen, and inflammatory chemokine clearance. In IBD, there are functional and morphological alterations in intestinal and mesenteric lymphatic vessels (more profoundly in Crohn's disease [CD] compared to ulcerative colitis [UC]), including lymphangiogenesis, lymphangiectasia, lymphadenopathy, and lymphatic vasculature blockade, affecting not only immunity but gut microbiota and epithelial barrier integrity. While increased lymphangiogenesis is primarily associated with a good prognosis of IBD, increased lymphangiectasia, lymphadenopathy, and lymphatic vessel occlusion correlate with poor prognosis. IBD therapies that target the lymphatic system seek to increase lymphangiogenesis via induction of lymphangiogenic factors and inhibition of its antagonists. The resultant increased lymphatic flow coupled with other anti-inflammatory activities restores gut homeostasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the association of serum irisin level with thyroid autoantibody (TAA) positivity and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 334 participants were assigned to one of the following four age- and sex-matched groups: TAA plus SH (84 patients), isolated TAA (83 patients), isolated SH (83 patients), or healthy controls (84 individuals). Irisin and creatine kinase (CK) were measured in serum samples. RESULTS Patients with TAA plus SH, isolated TAA, and isolated SH had higher irisin levels compared with the controls. There was a significant increase in the irisin level in the TAA plus SH group compared with the control group. Among all participants, the irisin levels were positively associated with thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibody titers and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but negatively associated with waist circumference, glycated hemoglobin levels, and fasting plasma glucose levels. The irisin level was not associated with the thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, or CK levels. Irisin levels were independently associated with TAA, with or without SH, but they were not associated with SH alone. CONCLUSIONS Irisin level may help to predict the risk of developing TAA with or without SH.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To explore the potential role of irisin in the outcomes of newly diagnosed prediabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were obtained from the Guiyang subcenter of the Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals: a lONgitudinal (REACTION) study. A total of 2,530 participants had newly diagnosed prediabetes at baseline and completed follow up. The nested 1:1 case-control study included 161 participants who developed diabetes mellitus at follow up, and 161 age- and sex-matched controls. The follow-up study included 86 matched case-control pairs. Fasting serum irisin levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Baseline serum irisin levels were higher in the cases than in the controls (P = 0.002); high baseline serum irisin levels were an independent risk factor for the development of diabetes (odds ratio 1.235, 95% confidence interval 1.025-1.488). After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), smoking, exercise, and family history of diabetes, subjects in the highest quartile of irisin levels had a higher risk of diabetes than those in the lowest quartile (odds ratio 3.065, 95% confidence interval 1.511-6.218). The extent of decrease in irisin levels during follow-up was greater in the cases than in the controls (P < 0.001). Baseline serum irisin levels were positively correlated with the extent of decrease in irisin during follow-up (r = 0.773, P < 0.001). After adjustment for confounding factors, subjects with a decrease of irisin above the median had much higher risk for diabetes (odds ratio 5.077, 95% confidence interval 2.112-12.206). CONCLUSIONS Irisin might play an important role in the outcomes of newly diagnosed prediabetes in adults in Guiyang, and can predict the risk for developing diabetes in these individuals.

Plasma irisin levels are associated with hemodynamic and clinical outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Intern Emerg Med 2021; 16:625-632. [PMID: 32797373 DOI: 10.1007/s11739-020-02467-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Irisin has been considered to reflect oxidative stress. This study aimed to show whether plasma irisin levels are correlated with hemodynamic dysfunction and predict the clinical outcome of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). A total of 68 adult IPAH patients were prospectively recruited in the present study. Plasma irisin levels were measured by the ELISA method in enrolled IPAH patients. Baseline clinical characteristics, and hemodynamic and clinical outcome were compared according to different plasma irisin levels. IPAH patients were divided into high irisin group (irisin ≥ 7.3 μg/ml) and low irisin group (irisin < 7.3 μg/ml) according to median values of irisin levels. Total plasma cholesterol levels (P = 0.027) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (P = 0.042) were higher in high irisin group and were positively correlated with plasma irisin levels. IPAH patients in low irisin group had a significantly higher mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP, P = 0.047), systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP, P = 0.022), systolic right-ventricular pressure (sRVP, P = 0.007), mean right atrial pressure (mRAP, P = 0.043), and systolic right atrial pressure (sRAP, P = 0.020). mRAP, sRAP, and diastolic right atrial pressure (dRAP) were negatively correlated with plasma irisin levels. Low irisin group predicts adverse hemodynamic status and poor free of event survival rate (P = 0.030, log-rank test). Multivariate analysis indicates plasma irisin levels to be an independent predictor of prognosis in IPAH patients after adjusting for related covariates (HR 0.786; 95% CI 0.584, 0.957; P = 0.038). Plasma irisin levels may serve as a novel biomarker in IPAH patients for hemodynamic severity assessment and clinical outcome evaluation.

Abstract
Irisin seems to play an important role in several chronic diseases, however, the interactions between chronic training and irisin are still unclear. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effect of chronic resistance training on circulating irisin in adults. Literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science and EBSCOhost (Academic Search Complete) until December 2020. Randomized controlled trials researching irisin levels after a resistance training program for at least 8 weeks among an adult population were eligible. Other inclusion criteria comprised recruiting a control group and reporting circulating irisin through ELISA kits. Cohen's d effect size and subgroup analyses (95% confidence level) were calculated using a random effects analysis model. Data of the seven included studies comprising 282 individuals showed an increasing and non-significant tendency after a resistance training program (d = 0.58, 95% CI: -0.25 to 1.40, p = 0.17). Subgroup analyses showed significant increases for the older adults group (p < 0.001) and when training is demanding and progressive in terms of intensity (p = 0.03). Data suggest that resistance training programs seem to increase circulating irisin, especially in older adults and in demanding and progressive training programs. However, more studies should be conducted using robust measurement methods, such as mass spectrometry, to better understand the interaction between chronic resistance exercise and irisin.

Abstract
Background Studies have shown that diabetes mellitus (DM) has a negative impact on male reproductive function, which may lead to changes in the testis and epididymis and a decline in semen quality. Material/Methods We performed animal experiments with 6 diabetic db/db mice as the model group (group B) and 6 C57BL/6J mice as the control group (group A). After adaptive feeding for 7 days, the sperm quality of each group was measured. Concurrently, the morphology of the mouse testis was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. The expression of the PI3K, Akt, FoxO1, FasL, IL-6, and Stat3 proteins and mRNAs in the testicular tissue was detected by western blotting and RT-qPCR. Results The number of spermatozoa and sperm motility of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (P<0.05). H&E staining of the testicular tissue showed the seminiferous tubules in group B mice were damaged to varying degrees and the seminiferous tubules were sparsely arranged. Compared with those of group A, the expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and Stat3 proteins and mRNAs in group B were significantly lower (P<0.05), while the expression levels of FoxO1, FasL, and IL-6 proteins and mRNAs in group B mice were significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusions This study demonstrated that DM inhibited the expression of PI3K, Akt, and Stat3 proteins and mRNAs in the FoxO1 pathway and promoted the expression of FoxO1, FasL, and IL-6 proteins and mRNAs, leading to abnormal apoptosis of testicular tissue cells and functional damage, and eventually spermatogenic dysfunction.

Abstract
Irisin, the circulating peptide originating from fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), is mainly expressed by muscle fibers under peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) control during exercise. In addition to several beneficial effects on health, physical activity positively affects nervous system functioning, particularly the hippocampus, resulting in amelioration of cognition impairments. Recently, FNDC5/irisin detection in hippocampal neurons and the presence of irisin in the cerebrospinal fluid opened a new intriguing chapter in irisin history. Interestingly, in the hippocampus of mice, exercise increases FNDC5 levels and upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. BDNF, displaying neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory effects, is mainly produced by microglia and astrocytes. In this review, we discuss how these glial cells can morphologically and functionally switch during neuroinflammation by modulating the expression of a plethora of neuroprotective or neurotoxic factors. We also focus on studies investigating the irisin role in neurodegenerative diseases (ND). The emerging involvement of irisin as a mediator of the multiple positive effects of exercise on the brain needs further studies to better deepen this issue and the potential use in therapeutic approaches for neuroinflammation and ND.

Irisin Contributes to Neuroprotection by Promoting Mitochondrial Biogenesis After Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:640215.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating form of stroke, which poses a series of intractable challenges to clinical practice. Imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis has been thought to be the crucial pathomechanism in early brain injury (EBI) cascade after SAH. Irisin, a protein related to metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis, has been reported to play pivotal roles in post-stroke neuroprotection. However, whether this myokine can exert neuroprotection effects after SAH remains unknown. In the present study, we explored the protective effects of irisin and the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial biogenesis in a SAH animal model. Endovascular perforation was used to induce SAH, and recombinant irisin was administered intracerebroventricularly. Neurobehavioral assessments, TdT-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, dihydroethidium (DHE) staining, immunofluorescence, western blot, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed for post-SAH assessments. We demonstrated that irisin treatment improved neurobehavioral scores, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and alleviated oxidative stress in EBI after SAH. More importantly, the administration of exogenous irisin conserved the mitochondrial morphology and promoted mitochondrial biogenesis. The protective effects of irisin were partially reversed by the mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) inhibitor. Taken together, irisin may have neuroprotective effects against SAH via improving the mitochondrial biogenesis, at least in part, through UCP-2 related targets.

Abstract
The aim of the present research was to investigate the effects of irisin, a skeletal muscle-derived myokine, on spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats and explore the possible mechanisms. SCI model was constructed in male SD rats. The effects of irisin on SCI rats were assessed via behavior tests including Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring method and inclined plane test, followed by histomorphology tests including HE staining, Nissl staining, and transmission electron microscope examination. Biochemical analyses including PCR, Western blots and ELISA were employed to further evaluate the changes at molecular level of SCI rats. In addition, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell damage model was established in PC12 cells to verify the mechanism of irisin's effect on nerve cells in vitro. Results showed that the BBB score and the angle of incline significantly decreased after SCI surgery, however, chronic irisin treatment improved SCI-induced motor dysfunction. HE and Nissl staining assays showed that SCI surgery induced histological injury of spinal cord, which could be reversed by irisin treatment. Morphological abnormality of nerve cells caused by SCI also could be alleviated by irisin. Further biochemical analyses showed that irisin inhibited SCI-induced overexpression of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Interleukin- 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), inducible nitricoxidesynthase (iNOS) and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)], as well as nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)p65 in rats, and the positive function of irisin could be reversed by Compound C treatment. In our in vitro study, LPS-induced declines of cell viability and neurite length of PC12 cell were inhibited by irisin treatment, and irisin inhibited LPS-induced overexpression of NF-κBp65, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS and COX-2. These changes could be reversed by activated protein kinase (AMPK) siRNA pre-treatment. Taken together, irisin could protect the rats from SCI, and its protection is associated with the regulation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)- NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Irisin is a promising therapeutic target in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as studies have demonstrated that irisin can induce "browning" of adipocytes and mitigate pro-inflammatory conditions. Sex-specific changes in irisin levels have been reported in a study involving healthy men and women following physical training. The present study aims to analyze the effects of an 8-week training intervention on circulating irisin levels in patients with T2DM and to find out whether the training responses differ between T2DM men and women. Twenty-nine overweight/obese T2DM patients (19 men, 10 women; age: 46-74 years; body mass index >25 kg/m2) participated in a combined moderate-intensity endurance/strength training program (3 times a week). The irisin levels of men and women did not differ significantly. The post-training irisin levels did not differ significantly from the pre-training values, and there was no interaction effect of sex. This study shows no training-induced (sex-specific) changes in circulating irisin levels in T2DM patients. Large-scale studies using other forms of training are needed to fully clarify whether basal irisin levels can be changed in T2DM men and/or women to counteract T2DM.

Abstract
It is now established that adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and heart are endocrine organs and secrete in normal and in pathological conditions several molecules, called, respectively, adipokines, myokines, and cardiokines. These secretory proteins constitute a closed network that plays a crucial role in obesity and above all in cardiac diseases associated with obesity. In particular, the interaction between adipokines, myokines, and cardiokines is mainly involved in inflammatory and oxidative damage characterized obesity condition. Identifying new therapeutic agents or treatment having a positive action on the expression of these molecules could have a key positive effect on the management of obesity and its cardiac complications. Results from recent studies indicate that several nutritional interventions, including nutraceutical supplements, could represent new therapeutic agents on the adipo-myo-cardiokines network. This review focuses the biological action on the main adipokines, myokines and cardiokines involved in obesity and cardiovascular diseases and describe the principal nutraceutical approaches able to regulate leptin, adiponectin, apelin, irisin, natriuretic peptides, and follistatin-like 1 expression.

Abstract
Both thyroid hormones and irisin have profound influences on the metabolism of the human body. Based on their similarities, several studies have been conducted to explore changes in irisin levels in patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement and the MOOSE reporting guideline. Based on a preregistered protocol (PROSPERO-CRD42019138430), a comprehensive search of eight databases was performed from inception to April 2020. Studies with original data collected from patients with thyroid dysfunction were included. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the different types of clinical manifestations and patient characteristics. The quality of each study and the presence of publication bias were assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa score (NOS) and funnel plot with Egger's test, respectively. A total of 11 studies with 1210 participants were included. Ten studies were identified as high-quality studies. Pooled analysis indicated decreased irisin levels in patients with hypothyroidism (MD -10.37, 95% CI -17.81 to -2.93). Subgroup analysis revealed an even lower level of irisin in patients with clinical-type hypothyroidism (MD -17.03, 95% CI -30.58 to -3.49) and hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune disease (MD -19.38, 95% CI -36.50 to -2.26). No differences were found after achieving euthyroid status from levothyroxine treatment in patients with hypothyroidism compared with controls. No differences were found between patients with hyperthyroidism and controls. Correlation analyses revealed a possible negative correlation between irisin and TSH and positive correlations between irisin and both fT3 and fT4. Irisin was correlated with TSH receptor antibodies.

Abstract
Objective: Irisin, mostly known as an exercise-induced fat browning myokine, has been recently detected in several cancer cells, and its potential for being utilized as a biomarker for early diagnosis of some cancers, such as Gastric cancer (GC), is the subject of speculation. The present study aims to compare serum irisin levels in GC patients and healthy controls and assess the interrelation between irisin and oxidative stress markers. Methods: In this case-control study, 22 newly diagnosed GC patients and 29 healthy controls were recruited based on the inclusion criteria. Serum levels of irisin were quantified in duplicates by ELISA. Oxidative stress indices, including total antioxidant power in sera, thiol group, malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase concentrations, were also measured in both groups. An independent-sample t-test was used to compare the means between the two studied groups. Results: Serum levels of irisin were significantly higher in the GC group compared with those of their healthy counterparts (p =0.032). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the serum total antioxidant power or the oxidative stress marker, including MDA, thiol groups, and SOD concentration in sera. Furthermore, there was no significant association between irisin, FRAP, the Thiol group, and the SOD activity. Conclusion: According to the finding, the increased serum levels of irisin in GC patients can play a potential role in the early diagnosis of the GC patients; hence, this peptide can be employed as a new diagnostic indicator of GC.

Aerobic exercise alleviates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in kidneys of myocardial infarction mice by inhibiting ALCAT1 and activating FNDC5/Irisin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Aerobic exercise involves in ameliorating kidney injury, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully clarified. In this study, we elucidated the potential mechanisms of aerobic exercise in ameliorating kidney injury following myocardial infarction (MI). In vivo, wildtype and alcat1 knockout mice were used to establish the MI model, and subjected to six-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. In vitro, Normal Rat Kidney (NRK) cells treated with H2O2 and recombinant human Irisin (rhIrisin) were used for exploring potential mechanisms. Our results showed that Irisin expression was up-regulated by aerobic exercise in kidneys after MI, while ALCAT1 was reduced. In alcat1 knockout mice, we found that ALCAT1 involved in the progressions of oxidative stress and apoptosis in impaired kidney tissues of MI mice, but aerobic exercise reversed these changes. Furthermore, in vitro, we observed that Irisin inhibited both H2O2-treatment or overexpression of alcat1-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in NRK cells, partially via AMPK-Sirt1-PGC-1α pathway. These findings reveal that aerobic exercise participates in alleviating the levels of oxidative stress and apoptosis in impaired kidney tissues following MI, partially via activating FNDC5/Irisin-AMPK-Sirt1-PGC-1α signaling pathway and inhibiting ALCAT1 expression.

Abstract
The ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China has become the
world's leading health headline and is causing major panic and public concerns. After emerging in the
City of Wuhan, China, COVID-19 has spread to several countries becoming a worldwide pandemia.
Among the studies on COVID-19, it has been demonstrated that novel coronavirus pneumonia is closely
associated with inflammatory storms. Controlling the inflammatory response may be as important as
targeting the virus. Irisin is a muscle-contraction-induced immunomodulatory myokine related to physical
activity. Irisin drives the “browning” of white adipocytes, so enhancing metabolic uncoupling and
hence caloric expenditure. Irisin has been clearly shown to be a handyman molecule by exerting beneficial
effects on adipose tissues, pancreas, and bone through “cross-talk” between skeletal muscleadipocyte,
skeletal muscle-pancreas, and skeletal muscle-bone, respectively. Irisin has been proposed as
a promising strategy for early diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancers, neurological diseases
and inflammatory conditions. Irisin has been demonstrated to suppress the immune response, too. The
importance of irisin is demonstrated by the increase in the number of scientific papers and patents in
recent years. The identification of irisin receptor should greatly facilitate the understanding of irisin’s
function in exercise and human health. This review examines the structure and recent advances in activities
of irisin, suggesting it for further studies on the prevention and cure of COVID-19. Nowadays, studies
on irisin plasma levels and physical activity may be useful tools to further investigate the prevention
of COVID-19. Irisin may be suggested as a potential novel intervention for COVID-19 by mitigating
inflammatory storms, suppressing the immune response and simultaneously alleviating neurological disorders
such as depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Regulated cell death by way of ferroptosis involves iron-dependent accumulation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ferroptosis is attracting attention as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatments without drug resistance. The relationship between irisin, a myokine involved in autophagy and ROS metabolism, and ferroptosis is unclear. In this study, we used erastin-induced ferroptosis in PANC-1 cells to examine potential interactions of irisin with ferroptosis. Using western blots and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions, we found that irisin can further exacerbate erastin-induced upregulation in free iron, lipid ROS levels, and glutathione depletion, relative to cells treated with erastin only. Conversely, removal of irisin limited erastin effects. Furthermore, irisin modulation of ferroptosis was associated with the expression changes in molecules important for ROS metabolism, iron metabolism, and the cysteine/glutamate antiporter system (system Xc−). These study findings suggest that irisin can act as a master factor of ferroptosis, and that potential implications for harnessing irisin-mediated ferroptosis for cancer treatment are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study is to investigate the correlation of plasma irisin level and hemodynamic parameters in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and to estimate clinical outcome prediction value of plasma irisin level. METHODS We prospectively recruited 86 adult patients with APE in the present study. All recruited patients conduct measurement of plasma irisin levels using ELISA kits. Baseline clinical characteristics, hemodynamic parameters and prognostic conditions were evaluated according to different plasma irisin levels. RESULTS According to median values of irisin levels, APE patients were divided into high irisin group (irisin≥6.9 μg/ml) and low irisin group (irisin<6.9 μg/ml). Plasma NT-proBNP (P = 0.044), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP, P = 0.013), systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP, P = 0.001), mean right ventricular pressure (mRVP, P = 0.021) and systolic right ventricular pressure (sPVP, P = 0.003) were higher in low irisin group compared with high irisin group. Hemodynamic parameters of mPAP, sPAP, mRVP and sRVP were negatively correlated with plasma irisin levels. Kaplan- Meier survival analysis showed that APE patients with lower plasma irisin levels had significantly higher clinical worsening event rate (P = 0.026) and could be the independent predictor of prognosis in multivariate analysis (P = 0.035). CONCLUSION Plasma irisin level was negatively correlated with hemodynamic parameters in patients with APE. Low irisin group patients had significantly higher clinical worsening event rate and could be the independent predictor of clinical outcome in multivariate analysis.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition. Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone, improves mitochondrial function and reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a key regulator of ferroptosis and its inactivation aggravates renal I/R injury by inducing ROS production. However, the effect of irisin on GPX4 and I/R-induced AKI is still unknown. To study this, male adult mice were subjected to renal I/R by occluding bilateral renal hilum for 30 min, which was followed by 24 hr reperfusion. Our results showed serum irisin levels were decreased in renal I/R mice. Irisin (250 μg/kg) treatment alleviated renal injury, downregulated inflammatory response, improved mitochondrial function, and reduced ER stress and oxidative stress after renal I/R, which were associated with upregulation of GPX4. Treated with RSL3 (a GPX4 inhibitor) abolished irisin's protective effect. Thus, irisin attenuates I/R-induced AKI through upregulating GPX4.

Abstract
Cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) are elevated in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and are useful markers for identifying or monitoring outcomes. Exercise therapy is one of the established treatments for NAFLD; however, few studies have investigated the effectiveness of exercise therapy on CK18 and FGF21 levels. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the effects of 12 weeks of simple resistance exercise on CK18 and FGF21 levels in patients with NAFLD.Fifty patients with NAFLD were assigned to a resistance exercise group (n = 23) or a control group (n = 27) for a trial period of 12 weeks. During the study, the resistance exercise group performed two exercises (push-ups and squats) three times a week on nonconsecutive days, whereas the control group proceeded with regular physical activities under a restricted diet. We then compared serum levels of CK18 fragments (M65) and FGF21 between groups just before and after the 12-week period.Serum M65 levels (880.0 ± 503.6 vs 648.9 ± 450.2 U/L; P < .01) were significantly decreased in the exercise group. However, no significant differences were observed in body mass index or skeletal muscle. The decreases in serum M65 (-231.1 ± 354.7 vs 56.2 ± 375.0 U/L; P = .02), and FGF21 levels (-41.7 ± 98.2 vs. 33.2 ± 127.6 pg/mL; P = .03) were significantly greater in the exercise than in the control group. Changes in M65 levels in the exercise group were significantly correlated with changes in alanine aminotransferase levels (r = 0.618, P < .01).Simple resistance exercise reduced CK18 and FGF21 levels in patients with NAFLD. These findings suggest that resistance exercise consisting of push-ups and squats helps prevent the progression of NAFLD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) increases the storage capacity of synapses in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Irisin is a myokine generated from FNDC5 (a gene precursor) during exercise. METHODS Although intra-cornu ammonis 1 administration of irisin fortifies LTP in mice with Alzheimer's disease, the effects of intra-DG injection of irisin on the LTP in rats remains to be elucidated in vivo. In this study, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group (saline), irisin (0.5, 1, and 1.5 μg/rat), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). RESULTS After treatment, the population spike (PS) amplitude and slope of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) were measured in the DG of rats in vivo. Moreover, following completion of the experiments, the stimulating and recording sites in the hippocampus were confirmed histologically from brain sections. Furthermore, biochemical assays like malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and total oxidant status (TOS) were evaluated (the antioxidant markers were analyzed in the plasma). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that all doses of irisin (0.5, 1, 1.5 μg/rat) caused an increase in the EPSP slope and PS amplitude when compared with the control group. In addition, the results obtained showed that irisin decreased TOS and MDA levels while increasing TAC levels as a marker of lipid peroxidation in plasma. The present report provides direct evidence that irisin affects the activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1866:165792. [PMID: 32251763 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2020.165792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Revised: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion is a major cause of acute kidney injury, a disease currently without effective treatments. Irisin was initially identified as an important factor produced by muscles to mediate the health benefits of exercise, and recent work has further suggested its protective effect against lung and liver injury. However, the role of Irisin in kidney diseases, including renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), remains unknown. In the present study, we found that the Irisin precursor, fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (Fndc5), was induced in renal tubules in a mouse model of renal IRI and in cultured mouse renal proximal tubular cells subjected ATP depletion injury. Functionally, silencing Fndc5 in cultured proximal tubular cells increased the sensitivity to ATP depletion-induced apoptosis, whereas both Fndc5 overexpression and supplementation of recombinant Irisin alleviated ATP depletion-induced apoptosis. In vivo, administration of recombinant Irisin dramatically attenuated kidney dysfunction, tissue damage, tubular cell apoptosis, and inflammation during renal IRI in mice. Mechanistically, Irisin suppressed the activation of p53 in renal IRI, a critical factor in tubular cell death. Together, these results indicate that Irisin is induced in renal IRI as a protective mechanism for renal tubular cells, suggesting the therapeutic potential of recombinant Irisin in renal IRI and related kidney diseases.

Abstract
Fndc5, a well-defined myokine and also identified as an adipokine, has a critical role in modulation of metabolism and protection against obesity. These important functions are mediated by irisin, a secretory peptide produced from proteolytic processing of Fndc5. The other beneficial physiological effects of irisin are alleviation of oxidative stress, neuroprotective effects, and anti-inflammatory properties and associated anti-metastatic effects. Fndc5/irisin exerts its biological effects through several intracellular signaling pathways. The major signaling pathway is thought to be MAPK signaling pathways which are involved in neural differentiation, browning of white adipocytes, as well as osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Other essential functions of Fndc5/irisin are mediated through additional pathways including AMPK pathway, PI3K/AKT, and STAT3/Snail. Thorough understanding of the mechanisms of irisin actions are essential in order to develop Fndc5/irisin for therapeutic purposes. In the present review, we focus on the current knowledge of the signaling pathways that elicit irisin actions.

Identification of irisin as a therapeutic agent that inhibits oxidative stress and fibrosis in a murine model of chronic pancreatitis. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 126:110101. [PMID: 32199226 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.110101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone, has been shown to mitigate liver fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells. However, the effect of irisin in CP has not been evaluated. METHODS This study aimed to determine whether irisin is protective in CP. CP was induced by 6 IP injections of cerulein (50 μg/kg/body weight). HPSCs were treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-β1 as in vitro experiment. RESULTS Our results showed that repeated cerulein injection induced severe pancreatic injury and fibrosis in mice and the serum irisin level in cerulein-treated mice decreased as in CP patients. Excessive oxidative and ER stress was also present in the pancreas of cerulein-treated mice. Irisin treatment significantly alleviated pancreatic injury and fibrosis, which was associated with reduced oxidative and ER stress. In cultured PSCs, irisin directly inhibited TGF-β-induced α-SMA and collagen I expression. This effect appears to be mediated through downregulation of kindlin-2 and inhibition of the SMAD2/3 pathway. CONCLUSIONS Irisin alleviated pancreatic injury and fibrosis, which was associated with reduced oxidative and ER stress. Thus, irisin may offer therapeutic potential for patients with CP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irisin, a newly discovered muscle-derived hormone, acts in different organs and tissues, improving energy homeostasis. In this study, we assessed, for the first time, the effects of intraperitoneal irisin injections on circulating levels of leptin and ghrelin, mRNA expression of the major hypothalamic appetite regulators and brain neurotrophic factors, as well as feeding behaviour in healthy mice. METHODS Twelve male 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomized into two groups and intraperitoneally injected daily with irisin (0.5 μg/g body weight) or vehicle (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]) for 14 days. On the last day of observation, leptin and ghrelin levels were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). mRNA levels of genes of interest were analysed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in brain extracts. RESULTS Irisin administration did not change leptin or ghrelin serum concentrations. However, irisin injection increased CART, POMC, NPY, and BDNF mRNA levels, without affecting the mRNA expression of AgRP, orexin, PMCH, and UCP2. Finally, over the time frame of irisin treatment, body weight and feeding behaviour were unaltered. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that intraperitoneal injection of irisin, although without effects on feeding behaviour and body weight, can increase the expression of anorexigenic and neurotrophic genes in mouse brain.

Abstract
Introduction Menopause seems to be among the factors related to the development of prediabetes and central obesity. Conversely, physical activity may have a major role in reducing metabolic syndrome in women of postmenopausal age. Material and methods Forty-eight postmenopausal active and sedentary women within the ages of 45-65 years were randomized to four groups: 1) high-intensity concurrent interval exercise (HCI; n = 15), 2) moderate-intensity continuous concurrent exercise (MCC; n = 14), 3) control daily active (CDA; n = 10), and 4) control sedentary (COS; n = 9). The subjects in the preceding training groups exercised three times per week for 50-65 min/session with high/moderate concurrent exercise for 10 weeks. The levels of serum irisin, insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat distribution (visceral and subcutaneous), and total abdominal fat were measured at baseline and post-test. Results This study showed that the HCI group had a significantly increased serum irisin (p< 0.001), stimulated favorable alterations in insulin sensitivity status (p = 0.003), and significantly decreased subcutaneous, visceral and, total abdominal fat (p< 0.001). Also, the insulin sensitivity status was significantly increased (p = 0.01) and subcutaneous abdominal fat significantly decreased in the MCC group (p = 0.018). However, this study’s results did not find a considerable correlation between insulin sensitivity, irisin level, weight loss and abdominal fat distribution. Conclusions High-intensity concurrent exercise has a greater influence on improving most metabolic-related parameters than moderate-intensity concurrent exercise.

Abstract
Bone healing is thought to be closely related to macrophages. Irisin, a cleaved hormone-like myokine, is well known to participate in immunoregulation and regulates bone metabolism. However, whether irisin could influence osteogenesis by affecting macrophage polarization is remain unknown. Here, the present study aims to investigate the potential immunomodulatory role of irisin on macrophages polarization and its subsequent impact on osteogenesis. We demonstrated that irisin increased cell viability without toxic effect in both Raw264.7 macrophages and MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, irisin treatment polarized M0 and M1 macrophages towards M2 phenotype, with increased expression of CD206-APC, ARG-1 and TGF-β1, and decreased expression of CD86-PE and TNF-α. In addition, the direct co-cultured test of Raw264.7 macrophages and pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells showed that irisin-treated M0 and M1 macrophages promoted osteogenesis with obvious formation of mineralized particles. Interestingly, irisin exposure robustly activated AMPK-α signaling, as manifested by increased expression of phosphorylated AMPK-α. Knockdown of AMPK-α by siRNA significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of AMPK-α, abrogated irisin-induced polarization of M2 phenotype, and inhibited the osteogenic ability of Raw264.7 macrophages. Taken together, our findings showed that irisin-induced M2 polarization enhanced osteogenesis in osteoblasts, and this effect might be associated with activation of AMPK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is often associated with intestinal injury, which in turn exaggerates the progression of AP. Our recent study has shown that a low level of serum irisin, a novel exercise-induced hormone, is associated with poor outcomes in patients with AP and irisin administration protects against experimental AP. However, the role of irisin in intestinal injury in AP has not been evaluated.
AIM To investigate the effect of irisin administration on intestinal injury in experimental AP.
METHODS AP was induced in male adult mice by two hourly intraperitoneal injections of L-arginine. At 2 h after the last injection of L-arginine, irisin (50 or 250 μg/kg body weight) or 1 mL normal saline (vehicle) was administered through intraperitoneal injection. The animals were sacrificed at 72 h after the induction of AP. Intestinal injury, apoptosis, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were evaluated.
RESULTS Administration of irisin significantly mitigated intestinal damage, reduced apoptosis, and attenuated oxidative and ER stress in AP mice. In addition, irisin treatment also effectively downregulated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 levels and alleviated injury in the pancreas, liver and lung of AP mice.
CONCLUSION Irisin-mediated multiple physiological events attenuate intestinal injury following an episode of AP. Irisin has a great potential to be further developed as an effective treatment for patients with AP.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Sleep disorders are significant problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are associated with poor quality of life. Irisin is myokine which may have anti-inflammatory and energy regulatory roles. This study assessed the association of serum irisin levels with the quality of sleep and disease activity in RA patients. METHODS In sum, 58 RA patients and 30 matched healthy controls were included. Disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28-ESR) and the patients' global score were calculated. RA patients were grouped according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score (PSQI) into good-sleepers (group 1) defined as a PQSI score≤5 and poor sleepers (group 2) with a PSQI > 5. Serum irisin levels were measured for both patients and controls by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. RESULTS Poor sleep quality was found in 26 (45%) of the RA patients. Irisin levels were significantly lower in RA patients with poor sleep compared to those with good sleep and healthy controls (p < 0.001). Serum irisin levels correlated inversely with disease duration, morning stiffness duration, DAS28-ESR, global score, and total PSQI score (r = -0.722 to -0.263 & p values≤0.001-0.04) indicating a possible anti-inflammatory role of irisin in RA patients. The analysis employed Student's t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. CONCLUSIONS Irisin levels were decreased in RA patients with poor sleep quality compared to RA patients with good sleep quality and healthy controls, indicating a possible association of decreased serum irisin with sleep impairment in RA patients.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress is one of the important mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Irisin is a type of myokine secreted from the muscle during exercise and acts against oxidative stress via nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor with antioxidant properties. Here, we examined the emphysema suppressive effects of the exercise-irisin-Nrf2 axis in mice. Methods Mice were divided into three groups, namely, the control, smoking, and exercise + smoking groups. All mice from the smoking and exercise + smoking groups were exposed to cigarette smoke once a day. The mice from the exercise + smoking group were adapted to a treadmill once a day. To investigate the Nrf2 cascade, after 12 weeks, serum irisin concentration and Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in the lung homogenate were determined. To evaluate cigarette smoke-induced COPD, the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), mean linear intercept (MLI), and destructive index in the lung tissue were examined. Results Serum irisin concentration and the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the lung homogenate were significantly higher in mice from the exercise + smoking group than in those from the control and smoking groups. The proportion of neutrophils in the BALF was significantly lower in the exercise + smoking group than in the smoking group. The MLI and destructive index were also significantly smaller in mice from the exercise + smoking group than mice from the smoking group. Conclusion Irisin secreted from the muscle during exercise may exert protective effects against oxidative stress via Nrf2 and HO-1, and ameliorate emphysema of cigarette smoke-induced COPD. The exercise-irisin-Nrf2 axis may serve as a novel target for COPD treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis has imposed a heavy socioeconomic burden worldwide, especially in postmenopausal women. As a newly found protein, irisin has an important physiological role in bone metabolism. This meta-analysis intends to identify the association between circulating irisin levels and osteoporosis. METHODS This meta-analysis was conducted following the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guideline. A comprehensive search of five databases was performed from inception to January 2019. Studies with original date on middle-aged and older participants were included. Data were analyzed according to study characteristics and heterogeneity between studies. The quality of each study and the presence of publication bias were assessed by Newcastle-Ottawa score (NOS) and normal quantile plot. RESULTS Seven studies, with a total of 1,018 participants, conducted in four countries, were included. Six of them were identified as high-quality research. Five studies included postmenopausal women, and two studies included both men and women. Possible publication bias was found in the analysis of irisin and osteoporosis. Pooled analysis indicated decreased irisin levels in osteoporotic participants (mean difference -87.91, 95% CI, -92.56 to -83.25). Subgroup analysis revealed an even lower level of irisin in postmenopausal women and in participants with a history of fractures. Analysis on associations between irisin and femoral neck or lumbar spine bone mineral density showed a weak positive correlation. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this analysis suggested that circulating irisin levels were decreased in middle-aged and older participants with osteoporosis. Irisin was positively correlated with bone mineral density.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the changes of serum, umbilical vein, placental irisin level, and the correlation between irisin level and relevant indicators in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), so as to provide a new perspective for in-depth studies on the causes and treatment of ICP. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study method, the serum, umbilical venous blood irisin, liver, kidney function, lipid metabolism, and other indicators of 108 normal pregnant women, 64 patients with mild ICP, and 39 patients with severe ICP were compared, and the changes in the levels of oxidative stress and irisin were observed by dihydroethidium staining and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The level of placental oxidative stress in severe ICP group and mild ICP group was significantly higher than that in normal pregnant women group, and the mild ICP group was significantly higher than that in severe ICP group (p < .05); the concentration of irisin in umbilical vein was significantly lower than that in peripheral blood; the serum irisin of normal pregnant women (918.51 ± 159.90 pg/ml) was significantly lower than that of pregnant women with mild ICP (1030.05 ± 137.98 pg/ml) and pregnant women with severe ICP (1094.34 ± 154.35 pg/ml). The concentration of irisin in umbilical vein blood of pregnant women with severe ICP (858.78 ± 97.42 pg/ml) was significantly higher than that of normal pregnant women (595.33 ± 162.70 pg/ml) and those with mild ICP (648.82 ± 164.81 pg/ml) (p < .05). Irisin was expressed in placental tissues of normal pregnant women group, mild ICP group and severe ICP group, and the differences were statistically significant in expression intensity of the three groups (χ2 = 19.959, p < .05). The irisin expression intensity in the ICP group was higher than that in the control group, and the irisin expression intensity in the ICP group was higher than that in the ICP group (β = 0.292; t = 3.063; p < .05). At the best cutoff level of 989.168 pg/ml, irisin accurately predicted ICP [AUC = 0.622 (95%CI 0.543-0.701, p < .05)] with sensitivity and specificity rates of 60.9 and 40.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Irisin can reduce the level of oxidative stress and improve lipid metabolism in ICP patients during the pathophysiological process of ICP, and it is possible to become a new auxiliary factor of ICP diagnosis and indexing.

Abstract
Background:
Cardiac disease is accounted as the leading cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality.
The disease is characterized by the overproduction of reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), and
induction of oxidative stress. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive ingredient of marijuana that has been
reported to be safe and well tolerated in patients. Due to its pleiotropic effect, CBD has been shown to exert cytoprotective
effects. This study intended to clarify the mechanisms and the potential role of CBD regarding cardiac
injuries treatment.
Methods:
A systematic literature search was conducted, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in the electronic databases including PubMed, Web of
Science, Scopus, and Embase up to June 2019 using predefined search terms in the titles and abstracts. Accordingly,
a set of pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered and 8 articles were ultimately included
in this study.
Results:
Our findings demonstrate that CBD has multi-functional protective assets to improve cardiac injuries;
preliminary through scavenging of free radicals, and reduction of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation.
Conclusion:
CBD can protect against cardiac injuries, mainly through its antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects
on the basis of non-clinical studies. The cardioprotective effects of the CBD need to be further studied in welldesigned
clinical trials.

Abstract
Irisin is an exercise-induced myokine known to induce adipocyte browning through induction of uncoupling protein 1. Recent studies have reported that irisin is also an adipokine. However, there is limiting evidence on the role of endogenous irisin from adipocytes. In this study we aim to elucidate the expression and secretion pattern of irisin during adipocyte differentiation and the role of endogenous and exogenous irisin on the adipogenic process. As such, recombinant irisin, plasmid expressing FNDC5 and small interfering RNA were utilized. Our results show that the gene expression of irisin precursor FNDC5 and irisin secretion increases at the early stage of adipogenesis. Both recombinant irisin treated cells and FNDC5-overexpressed cells resulted in inhibition of adipogenesis evidenced by downregulated C/EBPα, PPARγ, and FABP4 expression and reduced lipid accumulation. Further data showed that the inhibitory effect of irisin on adipogenesis is mediated though potentiation of Wnt expression, which is known to determine the fate of mesenchymal stem cells and regulate adipogenesis. Conversely, FNDC5 knockdown cells showed downregulated Wnt expression, but failed to further induce adipogenesis. This study suggests that both exogenous and endogenous irisin is able to inhibit adipogenesis and that activation of Wnt and subsequent repression of transcription factors is partly involved in this process. This provides a novel insight on the local effect of irisin on adipocytes and additional benefit to protect against obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Superiority of the Non-Glycosylated Form Over the Glycosylated Form of Irisin in the Attenuation of Adipocytic Meta-Inflammation: A Potential Factor in the Fight Against Insulin Resistance. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9090394.

Abstract
Irisin is an adipomyokine that promotes the browning of white adipose tissue and exhibits protective potential against the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In our bodies, it occurs in its glycosylated form (G-IR): its activity is still poorly understood, because the majority of studies have used its non-glycosylated counterpart (nG-IR). Glycosylation can affect protein function: therefore, the present study attempted to compare the actions of both forms of irisin toward inflammatory activation of the main component of adipose tissue. The study was carried out in a coculture of 3T3 adipocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages maintained in the presence of nG-IR or G-IR. The impact on vitality and the expression and release of key inflammatory mediators important for insulin resistance and diabetes development were assessed. The studies showed that both forms effectively inhibited the expression and release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, macrophage chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, high-mobility group box (HMGB1), leptin, and adiponectin. However, in the case of TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, and HMGB1, the inhibition exerted by nG-IR was more prominent than that by G-IR. In addition, only nG-IR significantly inhibited macrophage migration. Here, nG-IR seemed to be the stronger inhibitor of the development of obesity-related inflammation; however, G-IR also had anti-inflammatory potential.

Irisin Contributes to the Hepatoprotection of Dexmedetomidine during Intestinal Ischemia/Reperfusion. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:7857082.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, is also accompanied with abnormal energy metabolism and liver injury. Irisin, a novel exercise-induced hormone, can regulate adipose browning and thermogenesis. The following study investigated the potential role of dexmedetomidine in liver injury during intestinal I/R in rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 90 min followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Dexmedetomidine or irisin-neutralizing antibody was intravenously administered for 1 h before surgery. The results demonstrated that severe intestine and liver injuries occurred during intestinal I/R as evidenced by pathological scores and an apparent increase in serum diamine oxidase (DAO), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. In addition, the hepatic irisin, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and NLRP3 inflammasome components (including NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), protein expressions, apoptotic index, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, and interleukin- (IL-) 6 levels increased; however, the serum irisin level and hepatic Bcl-2 protein expression and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity decreased after intestinal I/R. Interestingly, dexmedetomidine could reduce the above listed changes and increase the irisin levels in plasma and the liver in I/R rats. Dexmedetomidine-mediated protective effects on liver injury and NLRP3 inflammasome activation during intestinal I/R were partially abrogated via irisin-neutralizing antibody treatment. The results suggest that irisin might contribute to the hepatoprotection of dexmedetomidine during intestinal ischemia/reperfusion.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines and the novel myokine irisin, a cleavage product of FNDC5, have been found to play a role in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Irisin has been shown to increase browning of adipose tissue, thermogenesis, energy expenditure, and insulin sensitivity, yet its association with inflammatory markers is still limited. Circulating irisin has been found to be increased in obesity, while in adult subjects with T2DM decreased levels have been found. However, data establishing the association of circulating irisin in children and adolescents with T2DM has not been described in the literature. The objective of this study was to determine irisin plasma concentration and its association with metabolic and adiposity markers and with hs-CRP, a surrogate marker of inflammation used in clinical practice, in a pediatric population with T2DM. A cross-sample of 40 Mexican children and adolescents aged 7-17 were recruited, 20 diagnosed with T2DM and 20 healthy controls. Plasma irisin levels were found to be lower in the T2DM group compared with controls, which could be attributed to a reduced PGC-1α activity in muscle tissue with a consequent decrease in FNDC5 and irisin expression. Irisin concentration was found to be positively correlated with HDL-c, LDL-c, and total cholesterol, while negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference, and triglycerides. However, after multiple regression analysis, only HDL-c correlation remained significant. hs-CRP was higher in the T2DM group and positively associated with adiposity markers, unfavorable lipid profile, insulin levels, and HOMA-IR, but no association with irisin was found. Given the favorable metabolic effects attributed to irisin, the low plasma levels found in children and adolescents with T2DM could exacerbate the inflammatory and metabolic imbalances and the intrinsic cardiovascular risk of this disease. We propose an "irisin-proinflammatory/anti-inflammatory axis" to explain the role of irisin as a metabolic regulator in obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the effects and the molecular mechanism of cyclosporin A (CsA) against oxidative stress injury in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. METHODS Bax/Bcl-2, cl-casp-9/casp-9, cl-casp-3/casp-3, and iNOS/β-actin ratios and p-IκB and IκB levels were analyzed by western blot. IL-1β and TNF-α levels were analyzed by ELISA. RESULTS CsA effectively improved the cell viability and reduced the extracellular lactate dehydrogenase release in cardiomyocytes after H2O2-induced oxidative damage. CsA significantly increased the superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione production, and catalase activity but decreased the malonaldehyde level. CsA treatment considerably reduced the H2O2-induced intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction, and release of cytochrome c. CsA could act against H2O2-induced ATP reduction, TCA cycle enzymes, mitochondrial complex I enzyme, and complex V enzyme in cardiomyocytes. CsA significantly decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, cl-casp-9/casp-9, and cl-casp-3/casp-3 in a concentration-dependent manner. CsA also remarkably reduced the cleaved PARP level and DNA fragmentation. NF-κB was closely related to oxidative stress injury. CsA inhibited NF-κB activation, thereby preventing the upregulation of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, and intracellular NO release. CONCLUSIONS CsA protected cardiomyocytes against H2O2-induced cell injury. Hence, CsA may be developed as a candidate drug to prevent or treat myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

Abstract
The initial diagnosis, molecular investigation, treatment, and posttreatment care of major psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and bipolar depression) are all still significantly hindered by the current inability to define these disorders in an explicit molecular signaling manner. High-dimensionality data analytics, using large datastreams from transcriptomic, proteomic, or metabolomic investigations, will likely advance both the appreciation of the molecular nature of major psychiatric disorders and simultaneously enhance our ability to more efficiently diagnose and treat these debilitating conditions. High-dimensionality data analysis in psychiatric research has been heterogeneous in aims and methods and limited by insufficient sample sizes, poorly defined case definitions, methodological inhomogeneity, and confounding results. All of these issues combine to constrain the conclusions that can be extracted from them. Here, we discuss possibilities for overcoming methodological challenges through the implementation of transcriptomic, proteomic, or metabolomics signatures in psychiatric diagnosis and offer an outlook for future investigations. To fulfill the promise of intelligent high-dimensionality data-based differential diagnosis in mental disease diagnosis and treatment, future research will need large, well-defined cohorts in combination with state-of-the-art technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in myocardial infarction (MI) treatment by ameliorating myocardial remodeling, thus improving cardiac function and preventing heart failure. Muscone has been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiac remodeling in MI mice. However, the effects of muscone on angiogenesis in MI mice and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mice were randomly divided into sham, MI, and MI+muscone groups. The MI mouse model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Mice in the sham group received the same procedure except for ligation. Mice were administered muscone or an equivalent volume of saline for 4 consecutive weeks. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiograph after MI for 2 and 4 weeks. Four weeks later, all mice were sacrificed and Masson's trichrome staining was used to assess myocardial fibrosis. Isolectin B4 staining was applied to evaluate the angiogenesis in mouse hearts. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot analysis, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were performed to analyze expression levels of HIF-1a and its downstream genes. RESULTS Compared with the MI group, muscone treatment significantly improved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis. Moreover, muscone enhanced angiogenesis in the peri-infarct region and p-VEGFR2 expression in the vascular endothelial cells. Western blot analysis and qPCR showed that muscone upregulated expression levels of HIF-1a and VEGFA. CONCLUSIONS Muscone improved cardiac function in MI mice through augmented angiogenesis. The potential mechanism of muscone treatment in regulating angiogenesis of MI mice was upregulating expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGFA.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem worldwide and is associated with spatial learning deficits. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on CKD-mediated behavioral deficits with emphasis to the role of nitric oxide (NO) in these effects. Fifty rats were randomly allocated to five experimental groups including: sham, Five-sixth (5/6) nephrectomy (Nx), 5/6Nx + NaHS, 5/6Nx + NaHS+L-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and 5/6Nx + NaHS+aminoguanidine (AMG). Twelve weeks after 5/6Nx, we evaluated proteinuria, creatinine clearance (CrCl), oxidative/antioxidant status, and hippocampus neuro-inflammation and NO synthase genes in all groups. Furthermore, training trials of all animals were conducted in the Morris water maze (MWM) task one day before animal euthanizing. As predicted, 5/6Nx induced several injuries, including enhancement of proteinuria and reduction of CCr, oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and up-regulation of TNF-α and IL-1β gene expressions in the hippocampus tissues. As predicted, 5/6Nx resulted in learning and memory impairments, and increased escape latency during acquisition trials in the MWM task. Interestingly, NaHS (H2S donor) improved behavioral deficits, renal dysfunction, accelerated anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory responses and increased eNOS and decreased iNOS. Moreover, these effects of NaHS were prevented by L-NAME but not AMG co-administration. In conclusion, H2S ameliorates CKD-mediated brain dysfunctions, through interaction with NO signaling in the hippocampus.

The role of minocycline in alleviating aluminum phosphide-induced cardiac hemodynamic and renal toxicity. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2018; 64:26-40. [PMID: 30290328 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2018.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2018] [Revised: 08/28/2018] [Accepted: 09/18/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Poisoning with aluminum phosphide (AlP) has been attributed to the high rate of mortality among many Asian countries. It affects several organs, mainly heart and kidney. Numerous literature demonstrated the valuable effect of minocycline in mitigating pathological symptoms of heart and kidney disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the probable protective effect of minocycline on cardiac hemodynamic parameters abnormalities and renal toxicity induced by AlP-poisoning in the rat model. AlP was administered by gavage at 12 mg/kg body weight followed by injection of minocycline for two interval times of 12 and 24 h, at 40, 80, 120 mg/kg body weight. Electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters were monitored, 30 min after AlP gavage for 6 h using an electronic cardiovascular monitoring device. Kidney tissue and serum were collected for the study of histology, mitochondrial complexes I, II, IV, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, ADP/ATP ratio, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, apoptosis, lactate, BUN, and Cr levels. The results demonstrated that AlP induces ECG abnormalities, and failure of heart rate and blood pressure, which improved significantly by minocycline. Minocycline treatment significantly improved complexes I, IV, MPO and LDH activities, and also reduced the ADP/ATP ratio, lactate level, release of cytochrome c, and apoptosis in the kidney following AlP-poisoning. Also, the histological results showed an improvement of kidney injury in minocycline treated groups. In conclusion, the findings of this study showed that minocycline could improve cardiac hemodynamic abnormalities and kidney injury following AlP-poisoning, suggesting minocycline might be a possible candidate for the treatment of AlP-poisoning.
