[PMID: 38582343 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Nonclinical studies involve in vitro, in silico, and in vivo experiments to assess the toxicokinetics, toxicology, and safety pharmacology of drugs according to regulatory requirements by a national or international authority. In this review, we summarize the potential effects of various underlying diseases governing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs to consider the use of animal models of diseases in nonclinical trials. Obesity models showed alterations in hepatic metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and renal pathophysiology, which increase the risk of drug-induced toxicity. Diabetes models displayed changes in hepatic metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and glomerular filtration rates (GFR), leading to variability in drug responses and susceptibility to toxicity. Animal models of advanced age exhibited impairment of drug metabolism and kidney function, thereby reducing the drug-metabolizing capacity and clearance. Along with changes in hepatic metabolic enzymes, animal models of metabolic syndrome-related hypertension showed renal dysfunction, resulting in a reduced GFR and urinary excretion of drugs. Taken together, underlying diseases can induce dysfunction of organs involved in the ADME of drugs, ultimately affecting toxicity. Therefore, the use of animal models of representative underlying diseases in nonclinical toxicity studies can be considered to improve the predictability of drug side effects before clinical trials.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases fracture incidence and fracture-related mortality rates (KK.Cg-Ay/J. The Jackson Laboratory; Available from: https://www.jax.org/strain/002468 ). While numerous mouse models for T2D exist, few effectively stimulate persistent hyperglycemia in both sexes, and even fewer are suitable for bone studies. Commonly used models like db/db and ob/ob have altered leptin pathways, confounding bone-related findings since leptin regulates bone properties (Fajardo et al. in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 29(5): 1025-1040, 2014). The Yellow Kuo Kondo (KK/Ay) mouse, a polygenic mutation model of T2D, is able to produce a consistent diabetic state in both sexes and addresses the lack of a suitable model of T2D for bone studies. The diabetic state of KK/Ay stems from a mutation in the agouti gene, responsible for coat color in mice. This mutation induces ectopic gene expression across various tissue types, resulting in diabetic mice with yellow fur coats (Moussa and Claycombe in Obesity Research 7(5): 506-514, 1999). Male and female KK/Ay mice exhibited persistent hyperglycemia, defining them as diabetic with blood glucose (BG) levels consistently exceeding 300 mg/dL. Notably, male control mice in this study were also diabetic, presenting a significant limitation. Nevertheless, male and female KK/Ay mice showed significantly elevated BG levels, HbA1c, and serum insulin concentration when compared to the non-diabetic female control mice. Early stages of T2D are characterized by hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia resulting from cellular insulin resistance, whereas later stages may feature hypoinsulinemia due to β-cell apoptosis (Banday et al. Avicenna Journal of Medicine 10(04): 174-188, 2020 and Klein et al. Cell Metabolism 34(1): 11-20, 2022). The observed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and the absence of differences in β-cell mass suggest that KK/Ay mice in this study are modeling the earlier stages of T2D. While compromised bone microarchitecture was observed in this study, older KK/Ay mice, representing more advanced stages of T2D, might exhibit more pronounced skeletal manifestations. Compared to the control group, the femora of KK/Ay mice had higher cortical area and cortical thickness, and improved trabecular properties which would typically be indicative of greater bone strength. However, KK/Ay mice displayed lower cortical tissue mineral density in both sexes and increased cortical porosity in females. Fracture instability toughness of the femora was lower in KK/Ay mice overall compared to controls. These findings indicate that decreased mechanical integrity noted in the femora of KK/Ay mice was likely due to overall bone quality being compromised.

Abstract
Introduction Bone, a pivotal structural organ, is susceptible to disorders with profound health implications. The investigation of gene expression in bone tissue is imperative, particularly within the context of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes that augment the susceptibility to bone fractures. The objective of this study is to identify a set of internal control genes for the analysis of gene expression. Methods This study employs reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to assess gene expression in bone tissue. We selected fourteen housekeeping genes and assessed their stability in the cortical bone of mouse models for obesity and diabetes using four well-established algorithms (GeNorm, BestKeeper, NormFinder, and the comparative Delta Ct method). Results and Conclusion We identified Rpl13a as the mostly stably expressed reference gene in cortical bone tissue from mouse models of obesity and diabetes (db/db), while Gapdh was found to be the most stable reference gene in another diabetes model, KKAy mice. Additionally, Ef1a, Ppia, Rplp0, and Rpl22 were identified as alternative genes suitable for normalizing gene expression in cortical bone from obesity and diabetes mouse models. These findings enhance RT-qPCR accuracy and reliability, offering a strategic guide to select reference gene for studying bone tissue gene expression in metabolic disorders.

Defining the activity of pro-reparative extracellular vesicles in wound healing based on miRNA payloads and cell type-specific lineage mapping. Mol Ther 2024:S1525-0016(24)00088-1. [PMID: 38379282 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2024.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells and deliver biologically active payloads to coordinate the response of multiple cell types in cutaneous wound healing. Here we used a cutaneous injury model as a donor of pro-reparative EVs to treat recipient diabetic obese mice, a model of impaired wound healing. We established a functional screen for microRNAs (miRNAs) that increased the pro-reparative activity of EVs and identified a down-regulation of miR-425-5p in EVs in vivo and in vitro associated with the regulation of adiponectin. We tested a cell type-specific reporter of a tetraspanin CD9 fusion with GFP to lineage map the release of EVs from macrophages in the wound bed, based on the expression of miR-425-5p in macrophage-derived EVs and the abundance of macrophages in EV donor sites. Analysis of different promoters demonstrated that EV release under the control of a macrophage-specific promoter was most abundant and that these EVs were internalized by dermal fibroblasts. These findings suggested that pro-reparative EVs deliver miRNAs, such as miR-425-5p, that stimulate the expression of adiponectin that has insulin-sensitizing properties. We propose that EVs promote intercellular signaling between cell layers in the skin to resolve inflammation, induce proliferation of basal keratinocytes, and accelerate wound closure.

MicroRNA-409-3p/BTG2 signaling axis improves impaired angiogenesis and wound healing in obese mice. FASEB J 2024; 38:e23459.

Abstract
Wound healing is facilitated by neoangiogenesis, a complex process that is essential to tissue repair in response to injury. MicroRNAs are small, noncoding RNAs that can regulate the wound healing process including stimulation of impaired angiogenesis that is associated with type-2 diabetes (T2D). Expression of miR-409-3p was significantly increased in the nonhealing skin wounds of patients with T2D compared to the non-wounded normal skin, and in the skin of a murine model with T2D. In response to high glucose, neutralization of miR-409-3p markedly improved EC growth and migration in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), promoted wound closure and angiogenesis as measured by increased CD31 in human skin organoids, while overexpression attenuated EC angiogenic responses. Bulk mRNA-Seq transcriptomic profiling revealed BTG2 as a target of miR-409-3p, where overexpression of miR-409-3p significantly decreased BTG2 mRNA and protein expression. A 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) luciferase assay of BTG2 revealed decreased luciferase activity with overexpression of miR-409-3p, while inhibition had opposite effects. Mechanistically, in response to high glucose, miR-409-3p deficiency in ECs resulted in increased mTOR phosphorylation, meanwhile BTG-anti-proliferation factor 2 (BTG2) silencing significantly decreased mTOR phosphorylation. Endothelial-specific and tamoxifen-inducible miR-409-3p knockout mice (MiR-409IndECKO ) with hyperglycemia that underwent dorsal skin wounding showed significant improvement of wound closure, increased blood flow, granulation tissue thickness (GTT), and CD31 that correlated with increased BTG2 expression. Taken together, our results show that miR-409-3p is a critical mediator of impaired angiogenesis in diabetic skin wound healing.

Abstract
Young blood plasma is known to confer beneficial effects on various organs in mice and rats. However, it was not known whether plasma from young adult pigs rejuvenates old rat tissues at the epigenetic level; whether it alters the epigenetic clock, which is a highly accurate molecular biomarker of aging. To address this question, we developed and validated six different epigenetic clocks for rat tissues that are based on DNA methylation values derived from n = 613 tissue samples. As indicated by their respective names, the rat pan-tissue clock can be applied to DNA methylation profiles from all rat tissues, while the rat brain, liver, and blood clocks apply to the corresponding tissue types. We also developed two epigenetic clocks that apply to both human and rat tissues by adding n = 1366 human tissue samples to the training data. We employed these six rat clocks to investigate the rejuvenation effects of a porcine plasma fraction treatment in different rat tissues. The treatment more than halved the epigenetic ages of blood, heart, and liver tissue. A less pronounced, but statistically significant, rejuvenation effect could be observed in the hypothalamus. The treatment was accompanied by progressive improvement in the function of these organs as ascertained through numerous biochemical/physiological biomarkers, behavioral responses encompassing cognitive functions. An immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycosylation pattern shift from pro- to anti-inflammatory also indicated reversal of glycan aging. Overall, this study demonstrates that a young porcine plasma-derived treatment markedly reverses aging in rats according to epigenetic clocks, IgG glycans, and other biomarkers of aging.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common chronic disease, characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. This disorder is associated with decreased bone quality and an elevated risk of bone fractures. However, evidence on the relationship between systemic metabolic change and the development of type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP) remains elusive. Herein, we investigate the changes of bone metabolites with bone loss in db/db mice (an animal model of T2DOP exhibited bone loss with age progression), and explore the potential metabolic mechanism underlying type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. C57BKS male mice were distributed in four groups, consisting six mice in each group: 8w m/m, 24w m/m, 8w db/db and 24w db/db. Bone morphometric and biomechanical parameters of db/db mice were analyzed by micro-CT and materials tester, it was found that 24w db/db mice showed severe bone loss and decreased bone tissue hardness compared with misty/misty littermates. The tibia of misty/misty mice (8 weeks, 24 weeks) and db/db mice (8 weeks, 24 weeks) were screened for differential metabolites by UPLC-Orbitrap MS. Ninety-eight metabolites were identified (35 and 63 metabolites are associated with early staged and late staged, respectively), consisting of amino acids, fatty acyls, and nucleotides. Notably, fatty acyls (such as 18-HEPE, 16(17)-EpDPE, arachidonic acid) and glycerophospholipids (such as phosphocholines (PC) (O-10:1(9E)/0:0), PC (O-16:1(9E)/0:0) [U] and phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) (P-16:0/0:0)) were significantly increased, and metabolites of amino acid pathway (such as l-glutamine, proline, phenylalanine) showed a downregulation trend. Dysregulation of lipid and glutathione pathways is the major contributor to progression of T2DOP in C57BKS mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the process of early oral osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants in diabetic 129/Sv mice through microCT and histologic and immunohistochemical analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 30 male 129/Sv mice was equally subdivided into two groups: (1) nondiabetic (ND), in which mice did not undergo systemic alterations and received a standard diet, and (2) diabetic (D), in which mice were provided a high-fat diet from the age of 6 weeks until the conclusion of the study and received two intraperitoneal (IP) injections of streptozotocin (STZ) at a concentration of 100 mg/Kg each. Each mouse underwent extraction of a maxillary first molar, and customized Ti screws (0.50 mm diameter, 1.5 mm length) were placed in the residual alveolar sockets of the palatal roots. At 7 and 21 days after implant placement, the animals were euthanized for maxilla and pancreas collection. Maxillae containing Ti implants were analyzed with microCT, histology, and immunohistochemistry for cells that were positive for F4/80, CD146, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Pancreata were histologically analyzed. Quantitative data were statistically analyzed with a significance level at 5% (P < .05). RESULTS ND mice presented successful healing and osseointegration, with a significantly higher fraction of bone volume compared to D mice, both at the alveolar sockets (53.39 ± 5.93 and 46.08 ± 3.18, respectively) and at the implant sites (68.88 ± 7.07 and 44.40 ± 6.98, respectively) 21 days after implant placement. Histologic evaluation revealed that the ND mice showed a significant decrease in inflammatory infiltrate and a significant increase in newly formed bone matrix at 21 days, whereas peri-implant sites in the D mice were predominantly encapsulated by fibrous tissue and chronic inflammatory infiltrate. Immunohistochemical characterization revealed higher Runx2 osteoblast differentiation and higher cell proliferation activity in the ND mice at 7 days, while higher amounts of macrophages were present in D mice at 7 and 21 days. Interestingly, no differences were found in CD146-positive cells when comparing ND and D mice. CONCLUSIONS This study evaluated the effects of immediate dental implant placement in 129/Sv diabetic mice by using specific healing markers to identify changes in cellular events involved in early oral osseointegration. This approach may serve as tool to evaluate new materials and surface coatings to improve osseointegration in diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on bone properties in pre-type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats. METHODS Six-week-old male Hos:ZFDM-Lepr fa, fa/fa (DM) and Hos:ZFDM-Leprfa,fa/+ (CON; untreated non-DM) rats were used in the experiments. Half of DM rats were subjected to WBV (45 Hz, 0.5 g, 15 min/day, 5 days/week) for 8 weeks (WBV group), and the other half was not (DM group). RESULTS Bone mass, trabecular bone microstructure (TBMS), and cortical bone geometry (CBG) parameters were worse in the DM and WBV groups compared with the CON group. Maximum load was significantly decreased in the DM group compared with the CON group, and the break point was significantly higher in the WBV group compared with the DM group. Serum levels of bone specific alkaline phosphatase were significantly lower in the WBV group compared with the CON group. Glycemic control was not worse in the WBV group compared with the DM group, but not the same levels as the CON group. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that WBV can potentially delay the decrease in maximum load, although it does not prevent the deterioration of bone mass, TBMS, and CBG parameters.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases risk of fractures due to bone microstructural and material deficits, though the mechanisms remain unclear. Preclinical models mimicking diabetic bone disease are required to further understand its pathogenesis. The TALLYHO/JngJ (TH) mouse is a polygenic model recapitulating adolescent-onset T2DM in humans. Due to incomplete penetrance of the phenotype ~25% of male TH mice never develop hyperglycemia, providing a strain-matched nondiabetic control. We performed a comprehensive characterization of the metabolic and skeletal phenotype of diabetic TH mice and compared them to either their nondiabetic TH controls or the recommended SWR/J controls to evaluate their suitability to study diabetic bone disease in humans. Compared to both controls, male TH mice with T2DM exhibited higher blood glucose levels, weight along with impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. TH mice with/without T2DM displayed higher cortical bone parameters and lower trabecular bone parameters in the femurs and vertebrae compared to SWR/J. The mechanical properties remained unchanged for all three groups except for a low-energy failure in TH mice with T2DM only compared to SWR/J. Histomorphometry analyses only revealed higher number of osteoclasts and osteocytes for SWR/J compared to both groups of TH. Bone turnover markers procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) were low for both groups of TH mice compared to SWR/J. Silver nitrate staining of the femurs revealed low number of osteocyte lacunar and dendrites in TH mice with T2DM. Three-dimensional assessment showed reduced lacunar parameters in trabecular and cortical bone. Notably, osteocyte morphology changed in TH mice with T2DM compared to SWR/J. In summary, our study highlights the utility of the TH mouse to study T2DM, but not necessarily T2DM-induced bone disease, as there were no differences in bone strength and bone cell parameters between diabetic and non-diabetic TH mice. © 2023 The Authors.

[PMID: 37919797 PMCID: PMC10621103 DOI: 10.1186/s12989-023-00552-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that individuals with preexisting conditions, including diabetes mellitus (DM), are more susceptible to air pollution. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we proposed that a high glucose setting enhances ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5)-induced macrophage activation and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1β, through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, altering the balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). RESULTS Exposure of mouse alveolar macrophages to non-cytotoxic doses of PM2.5 led to upregulation of IL-1β, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, increased nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NF-κB, increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increased expression and enzymatic activity of MMP-9; these effects were enhanced when cells were pretreated with high glucose. However, pretreatment in a high glucose setting alone did not induce significant changes. ROS generation following PM2.5 exposure was abolished when cells were pretreated with ROS scavengers such as Trolox and superoxide dismutase (SOD), or with an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, DPI. Pretreatment of cells with DPI attenuated the effects of a high glucose setting on PM2.5-induced upregulation of IL-1β, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and nuclear translocation of NF-κB. In addition, enhancement of PM2.5-induced expression and enzymatic activity of MMP-9 following high glucose pretreatment was not observed in primary alveolar macrophages obtained from NLRP3 or IL-1R1 knockout (KO) mice, where pro-IL-1β cannot be cleaved to IL-1β or cells are insensitive to IL-1β, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that exposure of mouse alveolar macrophages to PM2.5 in a high glucose setting enhanced PM2.5-induced production of IL-1β through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and nuclear translocation of NF-κB due to PM2.5-induced oxidative stress, leading to MMP-9 upregulation. The key role of NADPH oxidase in PM2.5-induced ROS generation and activation of the IL-1β secretion pathway and the importance of IL-1β secretion and signaling in PM2.5-induced increases in MMP-9 enzymatic activity were also demonstrated. This study provides a further understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the susceptibility of individuals with DM to air pollution and suggests potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) is associated with poor functional recovery and high mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, intensive controlling of blood glucose by using insulin was not beneficial in patients with AIS and acute hyperglycemia. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of the overexpression of glyoxalase I (GLO1), a detoxifying enzyme of glycotoxins, on acute hyperglycemia-aggravated ischemic brain injury. In the present study, adeno-associated viral (AAV)-mediated GLO1 overexpression reduced infarct volume and edema level but did not improve neurofunctional recovery in the mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). AAV-GLO1 infection significantly enhanced neurofunctional recovery in the MCAO mice with acute hyperglycemia but not in the mice with normoglycemia. Methylglyoxal (MG)-modified proteins expression significantly increased in the ipsilateral cortex of the MCAO mice with acute hyperglycemia. AAV-GLO1 infection attenuated the induction of MG-modified proteins, ER stress formation, and caspase 3/7 activation in MG-treated Neuro-2A cells, and reductions in synaptic plasticity and microglial activation were mitigated in the injured cortex of the MCAO mice with acute hyperglycemia. Treatment with ketotifen, a potent GLO1 stimulator, after surgery, alleviated neurofunctional deficits and ischemic brain damage in the MCAO mice with acute hyperglycemia. Altogether, our data substantiate that, in ischemic brain injury, GLO1 overexpression can alleviate pathologic alterations caused by acute hyperglycemia. Upregulation of GLO1 may be a therapeutic strategy for alleviating SIH-aggravated poor functional outcomes in patients with AIS.

Abstract
Bone has the fascinating ability to self-regenerate. However, under certain conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), this ability is impaired. T2DM is a chronic metabolic disease known by the presence of elevated blood glucose levels that is associated with reduced bone regeneration capability, high fracture risk, and eventual non-union risk after a fracture. Several mechanical and biological factors relevant to bone regeneration have been shown to be affected in a diabetic environment. However, whether impaired bone regeneration in T2DM can be explained due to mechanical or biological alterations remains unknown. To elucidate the relevance of either one, the aim of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of T2DM-related alterations on either cellular activity or mechanical stimuli driving bone regeneration. A previously validated in silico computer modeling approach that was capable of explaining bone regeneration in uneventful conditions of healing was further developed to investigate bone regeneration in T2DM. Aspects analyzed included the presence of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), cellular migration, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cellular mechanosensitivity. To further verify the computer model findings against in vivo data, an experimental setup was replicated, in which regeneration was compared in healthy and diabetic after a rat femur bone osteotomy stabilized with plate fixation. We found that mechanical alterations had little effect on the reduced bone regeneration in T2DM and that alterations in MSC proliferation, MSC migration, and osteoblast differentiation had the highest effect. In silico predictions of regenerated bone in T2DM matched qualitatively and quantitatively those from ex vivo μCT at 12 weeks post-surgery when reduced cellular activities reported in previous in vitro and in vivo studies were included in the model. The presented findings here could have clinical implications in the treatment of bone fractures in patients with T2DM. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
There is a higher risk of implant osseointegration failure after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with diabetes due to increased inflammatory conditions, associated metallic corrosion and infection. While it is possible to avoid elective osseous surgery in patients with diabetes, it may not be the case in nonelective cases, such as ORIF ankle fractures. A total of 30 male Lewis rats (12-15 weeks old) were distributed into diabetic (D) and nondiabetic (ND) groups. Fracture healing and osseointegration were evaluated at 2-, 10-, and 21-day time points. Microtomographic and histological analysis depicted distinct differences in fracture healing and osseointegration between D and ND animals. Immunohistochemical analysis exhibited elevated proliferation (PCNA) and osteogenic (Runx2) cells for ND animals, while HMGB1 (inflammatory marker) was elevated for D animals during healing. Bone resorption marker CTX-1 was elevated in the plasma of D animals at 2 days, while bone formation marker P1NP was higher for ND animals at 10 days. Overall, this model resulted in delayed implant osseointegration and fracture healing in diabetic animals, highlighting the importance of developing new biomaterials or implant coatings that can improve bone healing outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
Diabetes-related muscle damage has been overlooked despite its known association with increased morbidity and mortality in DM individuals. PBMT is a recognized alternative to improve skeletal muscle health in other populations, but its effectiveness in DM is still unclear. To address this issue, we reviewed preclinical studies, available in any language and period, in ten sources of information. The methods were previously registered at PROSPERO (CRD42021271041), based on PRISMA recommendations. Studies in murine models of T1DM or T2DM that reported quantitative analyses of skeletal muscles treated with low-level light therapy could be included after a blind selection process. Most of the seven included studies focus on decompensated T1DM rats with acute muscle injury (cryoinjury or contusion). In these five studies, PBMT improved muscle regeneration, by reducing inflammation and stimulating factors pro-angiogenesis and pro-myogenesis. Some positive effects could also be observed in two studies on muscles without acute injury: control of oxidative stress (T1DM) and reduction of myosteatosis (T2DM). Although infrared laser applied locally appears to be a promising approach, optimal parameters are undefined due to the heterogeneity of outcomes and high risk of bias, which prevented a quantitative synthesis. Several aspects of this growing field have yet to be investigated, particularly regarding the DM model (e.g., aged animals, T2DM), intervention (e.g., comparison with LED), and outcomes (e.g., muscle mass, strength, and function). Future research should aim to improve the internal validity by following guidelines for animal studies and enhance the translatability to clinical trials by using animal models that closely mimic patients with DM in rehabilitation settings.

Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a higher fracture risk compared to those without T2DM despite having higher bone mineral density (BMD). Thus, T2DM may alter other aspects of resistance to fracture beyond BMD such as bone geometry, microarchitecture, and tissue material properties. We characterized the skeletal phenotype and assessed the effects of hyperglycemia on bone tissue mechanical and compositional properties in the TallyHO mouse model of early-onset T2DM using nanoindentation and Raman spectroscopy. Femurs and tibias were harvested from male TallyHO and C57Bl/6J mice at 26 weeks of age. The minimum moment of inertia assessed by micro-computed tomography was smaller (-26%) and cortical porosity was greater (+490%) in TallyHO femora compared to controls. In three-point bending tests to failure, the femoral ultimate moment and stiffness did not differ but post-yield displacement was lower (-35%) in the TallyHO mice relative to that in C57Bl/6J age-matched controls after adjusting for body mass. The cortical bone in the tibia of TallyHO mice was stiffer and harder, as indicated by greater mean tissue nanoindentation modulus (+22%) and hardness (+22%) compared to controls. Raman spectroscopic mineral:matrix ratio and crystallinity were greater in TallyHO tibiae than in C57Bl/6J tibiae (mineral:matrix +10%, p < 0.05; crystallinity +0.41%, p < 0.10). Our regression model indicated that greater values of crystallinity and collagen maturity were associated with reduced ductility observed in the femora of the TallyHO mice. The maintenance of structural stiffness and strength of TallyHO mouse femora despite reduced geometric resistance to bending could potentially be explained by increased tissue modulus and hardness, as observed at the tibia. Finally, with worsening glycemic control, tissue hardness and crystallinity increased, and bone ductility decreased in TallyHO mice. Our study suggests that these material factors may be sentinels of bone embrittlement in adolescents with T2DM.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are characterized by a persistent, hyper-inflammatory environment that prevents progression to regenerative wound closure. Such chronic wounds are especially common in diabetic patients, often requiring distal limb amputation, but occur in non-diabetic, elderly patients as well. Induced expression of HoxA3, a member of the Homeobox family of body patterning and master regulatory transcription factors, has been shown to accelerate wound closure in diabetic mice when applied topically as a plasmid encased in a hydrogel. We now provide independent replication of those foundational in vivo diabetic wound closure studies, observing 16% faster healing (3.3 mm wounds vs 3.9 mm wounds at Day 9 post original injury of 6 mm diameter) under treatment with observable microscopic benefits. We then expand upon these findings with minimal dose threshold estimation of 1 μg HoxA3 plasmid delivered topically at a weekly interval. Furthermore, we observed similarities in natural wound healing rates between aged non-diabetic mice and young diabetic mice, which provided motivation to test topical HoxA3 plasmid in aged non-diabetic mice. We observed that HoxA3 treatment achieved complete wound closure (0 mm diameter) at 2 weeks whereas untreated wounds were only 50% closed (3 mm wound diameter). We did not observe any gross adverse effects macroscopically or via histology in these short studies. Whether as a plasmid or future alternative modality, topical HoxA3 is an attractive translational candidate for chronic wounds.

Abstract
Alarming statistics show that the number of people affected by excessive weight has surpassed 2 billion, representing approximately 30% of the world's population. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of one of the most serious public health problems, considering that obesity requires an integrative approach that takes into account its complex etiology, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Only an understanding of the connections between the many contributors to obesity and the synergy between treatment interventions can ensure satisfactory outcomes in reducing obesity. Mechanisms such as oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of obesity and its associated complications. Compounding factors such as the deleterious effects of stress, the novel challenge posed by the obesogenic digital (food) environment, and the stigma associated with obesity should not be overlooked. Preclinical research in animal models has been instrumental in elucidating these mechanisms, and translation into clinical practice has provided promising therapeutic options, including epigenetic approaches, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. However, more studies are necessary to discover new compounds that target key metabolic pathways, innovative ways to deliver the drugs, the optimal combinations of lifestyle interventions with allopathic treatments, and, last but not least, emerging biological markers for effective monitoring. With each passing day, the obesity crisis tightens its grip, threatening not only individual lives but also burdening healthcare systems and societies at large. It is high time we took action as we confront the urgent imperative to address this escalating global health challenge head-on.

Preventive nutritional supplementation with furan fatty acid in a DIO mouse model increases muscle mass and reduces metabolic disorders. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 164:114945. [PMID: 37263166 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The increase in obesity has become a major global health problem and is associated with numerous metabolic dysfunctions. Furan fatty acids (FuFAs) are minor lipids present in our diet. Recently we showed that FuFA-F2 extracted from Hevea brasiliensis latex stimulates muscle anabolism in mice in vitro and in vivo, mimicking in part physical activity. While skeletal muscle is essential for energy metabolism and is the predominant site of insulin-mediated glucose uptake in the post prandial state, our results suggested that FuFA-F2 could have favorable effects against obesity. The aim of this work was therefore to study whether a preventive nutritional supplementation with FuFA-F2 (40 mg or 110 mg/day/kg of body weight) in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model may have beneficial effects against obesity and liver and skeletal muscle metabolic dysfunction. We showed that 12 weeks of FuFA-F2 supplementation in DIO mice decreased fat mass, increased lean mass and restored normal energy expenditure. In addition, we found that FuFA-F2 improved insulin sensitivity. We revealed that FuFA-F2 increased muscle mass but had no effect on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, we observed that FuFA-F2 supplementation reduced liver steatosis without impact on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in liver. Our findings demonstrated for the first time that a preventive nutritional supplementation with a furan fatty acid in DIO mice reduced metabolic disorders and was able to mimic partly the positive effects of physical activity. This study highlights that nutritional FuFA-F2 supplementation could be an effective approach to treat obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Skeletal muscle overexpression of sAnk1.5 in transgenic mice does not predispose to type 2 diabetes. Sci Rep 2023; 13:8195. [PMID: 37210436 PMCID: PMC10199891 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-35393-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and cis-expression quantitative trait locus (cis-eQTL) analyses indicated an association of the rs508419 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with type 2 diabetes (T2D). rs508419 is localized in the muscle-specific internal promoter (P2) of the ANK1 gene, which drives the expression of the sAnk1.5 isoform. Functional studies showed that the rs508419 C/C variant results in increased transcriptional activity of the P2 promoter, leading to higher levels of sAnk1.5 mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle biopsies of individuals carrying the C/C genotype. To investigate whether sAnk1.5 overexpression in skeletal muscle might predispose to T2D development, we generated transgenic mice (TgsAnk1.5/+) in which the sAnk1.5 coding sequence was selectively overexpressed in skeletal muscle tissue. TgsAnk1.5/+ mice expressed up to 50% as much sAnk1.5 protein as wild-type (WT) muscles, mirroring the difference reported between individuals with the C/C or T/T genotype at rs508419. However, fasting glucose levels, glucose tolerance, insulin levels and insulin response in TgsAnk1.5/+ mice did not differ from those of age-matched WT mice monitored over a 12-month period. Even when fed a high-fat diet, TgsAnk1.5/+ mice only presented increased caloric intake, but glucose disposal, insulin tolerance and weight gain were comparable to those of WT mice fed a similar diet. Altogether, these data indicate that sAnk1.5 overexpression in skeletal muscle does not predispose mice to T2D susceptibility.

Abstract
The World Health Organization aims to stop the rise of diabetes by 2025, and diet is one of the most efficient non-pharmacological strategies used to prevent it. Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural compound with anti-diabetic properties, and incorporating it into bread is a suitable way to make it more accessible to consumers as it can be included as part of their daily diet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of RSV-enriched bread in preventing early type 2 diabetes cardiomyopathy in vivo. Male Sprague Dawley rats (3 weeks old) were divided into four groups: controls with plain bread (CB) and RSV bread (CBR), and diabetics with plain bread (DB) and RSV bread (DBR). Type 2 diabetes was induced by adding fructose to the drinking water for two weeks followed by an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (40 mg/kg). Then, plain bread and RSV bread (10 mg RSV/kg body weight) were included in the rats' diet for four weeks. Cardiac function, anthropometric, and systemic biochemical parameters were monitored, as well as the histology of the heart and molecular markers of regeneration, metabolism, and oxidative stress. Data showed that an RSV bread diet decreased the polydipsia and body weight loss observed in the early stages of the disease. At the cardiac level, an RSV bread diet diminished fibrosis but did not counteract the dysfunction and metabolic changes seen in fructose-fed STZ-injected rats.

Bone 2023; 170:116672. [PMID: 36646266 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Individuals with Type-2 Diabetes (T2D) have an increased risk of bone fracture, without a reduction in bone mineral density. It is hypothesised that the hyperglycaemic state caused by T2D forms an excess of Advanced Glycated End-products (AGEs) in the organic matrix of bone, which are thought to stiffen the collagen network and lead to impaired mechanical properties. However, the mechanisms are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the geometrical, structural and material properties of diabetic cortical bone during the development and progression of T2D in ZDF (fa/fa) rats at 12-, 26- and 46-weeks of age. Longitudinal bone growth was impaired as early as 12-weeks of age and by 46-weeks bone size was significantly reduced in ZDF (fa/fa) rats versus controls (fa/+). Diabetic rats had significant structural deficits, such as bending rigidity, ultimate moment and energy-to-failure measured via three-point bend testing. Tissue material properties, measured by taking bone geometry into account, were altered as the disease progressed, with significant reductions in yield and ultimate strength for ZDF (fa/fa) rats at 46-weeks. FTIR analysis on cortical bone powder demonstrated that the tissue material deficits coincided with changes in tissue composition, in ZDF (fa/fa) rats with long-term diabetes having a reduced carbonate:phosphate ratio and increased acid phosphate content when compared to age-matched controls, indicative of an altered bone turnover process. AGE accumulation, measured via fluorescent assays, was higher in the skin of ZDF (fa/fa) rats with long-term T2D, bone AGEs did not differ between strains and neither AGEs correlated with bone strength. In conclusion, bone fragility in the diabetic ZDF (fa/fa) rats likely occurs through a multifactorial mechanism influenced initially by impaired bone growth and development and proceeding to an altered bone turnover process that reduces bone quality and impairs biomechanical properties as the disease progresses.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have shown antidiabetic activity in multiple studies and can be produced by different plant-mediated ("green") methods. This study aimed to compare ZnONPs prepared via different "green" approaches (heating at high temperatures (400 °C) vs. low temperature (70 °C)). The low temperature method involved addition of suspending agents (Tween 80 or gum arabic) and pH variations followed by lyophilization. The study evaluated the hypoglycemic potential of ZnONPs with the best properties (quantity of capped agents and stability) compared to the plant extract per se. The ZnONP synthesis involved a mixture of zinc nitrate hexahydrate as the zinc precursor and a plant extract with high antioxidant activity as the capping agent supplier. The results of the studies showed that the procedure using high-temperature heating resulted in almost uncapped nanoparticles with phytocompounds (0.01 % of phenolic compounds) and nanoparticle sizes larger than 300 nm. The low-temperature method produced ZnONPs with high retention of capping agents (92.90 % of phenolic compounds) and a size of approximately 200 nm. The use of Tween 80 with pH adjustment between 9 and 10 resulted in more stable nanoparticles than with gum arabic. These nanoparticles prepared with Tween 80, exhibited a pronounced in vivo antihyperglycemic activity at a much lower dose (10 mg ZnO/kg capped by 0.31 mg phenolic compounds per kg) than the extracts alone (400 mg extract/kg) following an oral glucose tolerance test. These results demonstrated that green-synthesized ZnONPs with a high retention rate of phytochemicals can induce antihyperglycemic effects at a low dose.

Abstract
Prediabetes affects 1 in 3 American adults and is characterized by insulin resistance, insulin hypersecretion, and impaired glucose tolerance. Weanling LEW.1WR1 (1WR1) rats have increased blood insulin concentrations, so we hypothesized that young adult 1WR1 rats would develop impaired glucose tolerance due to the poor regulation of insulin. We monitored glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, and weight gain for 10 weeks to assess if there was a decline in glucose processing over time. 1WR1 rats were significantly more glucose intolerant after 8 weeks. 1WR1 rats had increased body mass, yet abdominal fat mass was not significantly increased. Although the 1WR1 rats had increased circulating insulin and glucagon protein levels, 1WR1 rat beta cell area was significantly reduced. There may be underlying insulin resistance as evidenced by dysfunctional insulin regulation during fasting. Understanding the metabolic phenotype of this rat model can provide insight into the human pathophysiological changes that increase susceptibility to glucose intolerance and prediabetes.

Semaphorin 3A delivered by a rapidly polymerizing click hydrogel overcomes impaired implant osseointegration in a rat type 2 diabetes model. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:236-251. [PMID: 36435442 PMCID: PMC10007856 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.11.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Semaphorin 3A (sema3A) is an osteoprotective factor that enhances bone formation while inhibiting osteoclast bone resorption. It is produced by rat calvarial osteoblasts cultured on grit-blasted/acid-etched microtextured (SLA) titanium surfaces at higher levels than on tissue culture polystyrene, suggesting that it may improve performance of titanium implants in vivo, particularly in conditions characterized by compromised bone quality. To test this, we established a clinically relevant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model and used a non-toxic click hydrogel that rapidly polymerizes in situ (GEL) to provide localized controlled delivery of sema3A. In vitro studies confirmed that sema3A released from GEL was biologically active, increasing osteoblast differentiation of a pre-osteoblast cell-line. Whereas increased sema3A production was not observed in T2DM calvarial osteoblasts cultured on SLA, exogenous sema3A enhanced surface-induced osteoblast differentiation, indicating that it would be a viable candidate for in vivo use. Delivery of sema3A either by GEL or by local injection to bone defects enhanced osseointegration of SLA implants in the T2DM rats. Trabecular bone mass and bone-to-implant contact were decreased in T2DM rats compared to normal rats; sema3A delivered locally improved both parameters. These findings suggest that reduced trabecular bone contributes to poor osseointegration in T2DM patients and support GEL as a promising treatment option for sustained release of therapeutic doses of sema3A. Moreover, using this clinically translatable T2DM model and developing a biocompatible, Cu-free click chemistry hydrogel platform for the non-invasive delivery of therapeutics has major implications for regenerative medicine as a whole. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osseointegration is compromised in patients with poor bone quality due to conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previously, we showed that semaphorin 3A (sema3A) production is increased when human bone marrow stromal cells are cultured on titanium substrates that support osseointegration in vivo, suggesting it may enhance peri-implant osteogenesis in diabetes. Here we established a spontaneously developing T2DM rat model with clinical translatability and used it to assess sema3A effectiveness. Sema3A was delivered to the implant site via a novel copper-free click hydrogel, which has minimal swelling behavior and superior rheological properties. Osseointegration was successfully restored, and enhanced compared to burst release through injections. This study provides scientific evidence for using sema3A to treat impaired osseointegration in T2DM patients.

Abstract
The consumption of readily digestible starch sources, such as corn, can negatively impact endocrine disorders related to hyperglycaemia in predisposing animals. In this sense, starch sources containing slowly digestible and resistant fractions can assist glycemic control. The present study analyzed the postprandial glycemic response and blood variables of rats fed with four extruded diets containing corn, brown rice, sweet potato and pea as the main starch source. Thirty-two male Wistar rats (90 days old) were divided into groups of eight animals each. The rats received one of the experimental diets for 30 days according to a completely randomised design. The glycemia was measured on the 29th and 30th days. The glycemia measured on the 29th day was analyzed at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min after oral administration of 50% glucose solution. On the 30th day, the same protocol was repeated after providing 3 g of the experimental diet for each animal to obtain the glycemic curve. After the euthanasia on the 30th day, 7 ml of blood was collected via cardiac puncture for glycated haemoglobin (HBA1c), triglycerides, cholesterol, and aspartate and alanine aminotransferases analysis. Diets with pea and sweet potato provided lower glycemic index, average and maximum glycemia, and glycemic increment in relation to the other starch sources (p < 0.05). Animals fed with the corn diet had higher serum concentrations of triglycerides and HBA1c than the other treatments (p < 0.05). Results demonstrated that pea and sweet potato are interesting starch sources for the control of metabolic disorders related to glycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diet structure has changed greatly over the last few decades, and high-calorie diets have become an integral part of people's daily diet, as well as the important cause of obesity in society. Several organ systems, including the skeletal system, are seriously affected by high-fat-diets (HFD) in the world. There is, however, still a lack of knowledge about the effects of HFD on bone regeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. In this study, the difference in bone regeneration between rats under HFD and low-fat-diets (LFD) was evaluated by monitoring the process of bone regeneration in distraction osteogenesis (DO) model animals, as well as the possible mechanisms. METHODS A total of 40 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (5 weeks old) were randomly divided into HFD group (n=20) and LFD group (n=20). Except for feeding methods, there were no differences between the two groups in terms of treatment conditions. All animals received the DO surgery eight weeks after starting to feed. After a delay of 5 days (latency phase), the active lengthening phase was performed for 10 days (0.25 mm/12 h), and the consolidation phase followed for 42 days. An observational study of bone included radioscopy (once a week), micro-computed tomography (CT), general morphology, biomechanics, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry. RESULT The results showed that HFD group had a higher body weight than LFD group after 8, 14, and 16 weeks of feeding. Furthermore, at the final observation, there were statistically significant differences between LFD group and HFD group in terms of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Additionally, observations on bone regeneration showed a slower regeneration and a lower biomechanical strength in HFD group than LFD group, based on radiography, micro-CT, general morphology, biomechanics, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry. CONCLUSION In this study, HFD resulted in elevated blood lipids, increased adipose differentiation at the bone marrow level, and delayed bone regeneration. The pieces of evidence are beneficial to better understand the association between diet and bone regeneration and to adjust the diet optimally for fracture patients.

Abstract
Background: High consumption of carbohydrates can trigger metabolic and inflammatory disorders in the body. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fiber supplementation on inflammation and hepatic steatosis in mice fed high-carbohydrate diets. Methods: Swiss male mice were distributed into two control groups and two experimental groups that received isocaloric diet rich in starch (55%) or rich in fructose (55%). In the last 4 weeks of the experiment, the animals received 5% fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) supplementation via gavage, or water in the control groups. After 16 weeks, biochemical analyses, inflammatory cytokines, and histology of the liver of the animals were performed. Results: The animals that received fructose had higher weight at the end of the experiment as well as liver weight, consumed more feed, had higher levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and a higher degree of hepatic steatosis when compared with the animals that received starch. However, the animals that received starch showed a higher inflammatory process. FOS supplementation was efficient in reducing liver weight and hepatic steatosis degree in animals fed with fructose diet but showed more degeneration of liver tissue and high levels of inflammatory cytokines. FOS reduced the levels of urea and total cholesterol in the starch-fed animals. Conclusions: Diets rich in carbohydrates such as starch and fructose cause deleterious effects in animals, and fiber supplementation can bring beneficial effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes mellitus is defined by elevated blood glucose levels caused by changes in glucose metabolism and, according to its pathogenesis, is classified into type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is associated with multiple degenerative processes, including structural alterations of the bone and increased fracture risk. High-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a clinically applicable, volumetric imaging technique that unveils bone microarchitecture in vivo. Numerous studies have used HR-pQCT to assess volumetric bone mineral density and microarchitecture in patients with diabetes, including characteristics of trabecular (e.g. number, thickness and separation) and cortical bone (e.g. thickness and porosity). However, study results are heterogeneous given different imaging regions and diverse patient cohorts. RECENT FINDINGS This meta-analysis assessed T1DM- and T2DM-associated characteristics of bone microarchitecture measured in human populations in vivo reported in PubMed- and Embase-listed publications from inception (2005) to November 2021. The final dataset contained twelve studies with 516 participants with T2DM and 3067 controls and four studies with 227 participants with T1DM and 405 controls. While T1DM was associated with adverse trabecular characteristics, T2DM was primarily associated with adverse cortical characteristics. These adverse effects were more severe at the radius than the load-bearing tibia, indicating increased mechanical loading may compensate for deleterious bone microarchitecture changes and supporting mechanoregulation of bone fragility in diabetes mellitus. Our meta-analysis revealed distinct predilection sites of bone structure aberrations in T1DM and T2DM, which provide a foundation for the development of animal models of skeletal fragility in diabetes and may explain the uncertainty of predicting bone fragility in diabetic patients using current clinical algorithms.

Abstract
The accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in the organic matrix of bone with aging and chronic disease such as diabetes is thought to increase fracture risk independently of bone mass. However, to date, there has not been a clinical trial to determine whether inhibiting the accumulation of AGEs is effective in preventing low-energy, fragility fractures. Moreover, unlike with cardiovascular or kidney disease, there are also no pre-clinical studies demonstrating that AGE inhibitors or breakers can prevent the age- or diabetes-related decrease in the ability of bone to resist fracture. In this review, we critically examine the case for a long-standing hypothesis that AGE accumulation in bone tissue degrades the toughening mechanisms by which bone resists fracture. Prior research into the role of AGEs in bone has primarily measured pentosidine, an AGE crosslink, or bulk fluorescence of hydrolysates of bone. While significant correlations exist between these measurements and mechanical properties of bone, multiple AGEs are both non-fluorescent and non-crosslinking. Since clinical studies are equivocal on whether circulating pentosidine is an indicator of elevated fracture risk, there needs to be a more complete understanding of the different types of AGEs including non-crosslinking adducts and multiple non-enzymatic crosslinks in bone extracellular matrix and their specific contributions to hindering fracture resistance (biophysical and biological). By doing so, effective strategies to target AGE accumulation in bone with minimal side effects could be investigated in pre-clinical and clinical studies that aim to prevent fragility fractures in conditions that bone mass is not the underlying culprit.

Abstract
Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is a disorder of bone metabolism induced by multiple mechanisms. Previous studies have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in bone metabolism. MiRNA-144-5p has been proven to participate in the regulation of osteoblast activities; however, its specific mechanism in DOP has not been elucidated. This study investigated whether high glucose (HG) inhibited osteoblasts by regulating miRNA-144-5p. Our results showed that HG inhibited bone formation not only in vivo but also in vitro. We observed that HG severely hindered the migration, proliferation and mineralization of osteoblasts, while miRNA-144-5p was upregulated by way of the cell counting kit-8 assay, wound healing assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and alizarin red staining. Double luciferase reporter experiments showed that miRNA-144-5p directly targeted insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). The IRS1/AKT signaling pathway is closely related to osteoblasts' migration, proliferation, and mineralization. Silencing miRNA-144-5p promoted the mRNA, and protein expression of IRS1, thereby letting the expression of total AKT down, and then preventing phosphorylation of AKT into the nucleus to regulate migration, proliferation, and mineralization genes of osteoblasts. In conclusion, this study indicated that HG regulated the migration, proliferation, and mineralization of osteoblasts via the miRNA-144-5p/IRS1/AKT axis, which suggested a possible mechanism for DOP pathology.

Exercise and Metformin Intervention Prevents Lipotoxicity-Induced Hepatocyte Apoptosis by Alleviating Oxidative and ER Stress and Activating the AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway in db/db Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2297268. [PMID: 36120597 PMCID: PMC9481363 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2297268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) commonly coexist and act synergistically to drive adverse clinical outcomes. This study is aimed at investigating the effects of exercise intervention and oral hypoglycaemic drug of metformin (MET) alone or combined on hepatic lipid accumulation. To investigate if oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are involved in lipotoxicity-induced hepatocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice and whether exercise and/or MET alleviated oxidative stress or ERS-apoptosis by AMPK-Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway. Methods Forty db/db mice with diabetes (random blood glucose ≥ 250 mg/dL) were randomly allocated into four groups: control (CON), exercise training alone (EX), metformin treatment alone (MET), and exercise combined with metformin (EM) groups. Hematoxylin-eosin and oil red O staining were carried out to observe hepatic lipid accumulation. Immunohistochemical and TUNEL methods were used to detect the protein expression of the binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) and superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) and the apoptosis level of hepatocytes. ERS-related gene expression and the AMPK-Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway were tested by western blotting. Results Our data showed that db/db mice exhibited increased liver lipid accumulation, which induced oxidative and ER stress of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway, and hepatocyte apoptosis. MET combined with exercise training significantly alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation by suppressing BiP expression, the central regulator of ER homeostasis, and its downstream PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway, as well as upregulated the AMPK-Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway. Moreover, the combination of exercise and MET displayed protective effects on hepatocyte apoptosis by downregulating Bax expression and TUNEL-positive staining, restoring the balance of cleaved-caspase-3 and caspase-3, and improving the antioxidant defense system to prevent oxidative damage in db/db mice. Conclusion Compared to MET or exercise intervention alone, the combined exercise and metformin exhibited significant effect on ameliorating hepatic steatosis, inhibiting oxidative and ER stress-induced hepatocyte apoptosis via improving the capacity of the antioxidant defense system and suppression of the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 pathway. Furthermore, upregulation of AMPK-Nrf2-HO-1 signaling pathway might be a key crosstalk between MET and exercise, which may have additive effects on alleviating hepatic lipid accumulation.

Dietary Carbohydrate as Glycemic Load, Not Fat, Coupled with Genetic Permissiveness Favoring Rapid Growth and Extra Calories, Dictate Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes Induction in Nile Rats ( Arvicanthis niloticus). Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153064. [PMID: 35893924 PMCID: PMC9331090 DOI: 10.3390/nu14153064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: Whether dietary carbohydrate (CHO) or fat is more involved in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) induction uncomplicated by dietary fiber was addressed in a spontaneous diabetic model, the diurnal Nile rat that mimics the human condition. Methods: A total of 138 male Nile rats were fed plant-based and animal-based saturated fat where 10% energy as CHO and fat were exchanged across 5 diets keeping protein constant, from 70:10:20 to 20:60:20 as CHO:fat:protein %energy. Diabetes induction was analyzed by: 1. diet composition, i.e., CHO:fat ratio, to study the impact of diet; 2. quintiles of average caloric intake per day to study the impact of calories; 3. quintiles of diabetes severity to study the epigenetic impact on diabetes resistance. Results: High glycemic load (GLoad) was most problematic if coupled with high caloric consumption. Diabetes severity highlighted rapid growth and caloric intake as likely epigenetic factors distorting glucose metabolism. The largest weanling rats ate more, grew faster, and developed more diabetes when the dietary GLoad exceeded their gene-based metabolic capacity for glucose disposal. Diabetes risk increased for susceptible rats when energy intake exceeded 26 kcal/day and the GLoad was >175/2000 kcal of diet and when the diet provided >57% energy as CHO. Most resistant rats ate <25 kcal/day independent of the CHO:fat diet ratio or the GLoad adjusted to body size. Conclusion: Beyond the CHO:fat ratio and GLoad, neither the type of fat nor the dietary polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid (P/S) ratio had a significant impact, suggesting genetic permissiveness affecting caloric and glucose intake and glucose disposition were key to modulating Nile rat diabetes. Fat became protective by limiting GLoad when it contributed >40% energy and displaced CHO to <50% energy, thereby decreasing the number of diabetic rats and diabetes severity.

Abstract
The testis expresses peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), but its involvement in regulating diabetes-induced testicular dysfunction and DNA damage repair is not known. Pioglitazone-induced activation of PPAR-γ for 12 weeks in db/db obese diabetic mice increases bodyweights and reduces blood glucose levels, but PPAR-γ inhibition by 2-chloro-5-nitro-N-phenylbenzamide does not alter these parameters; instead, improves testis and epididymis weights and sperm count. Neither activation nor inhibition of PPAR-γ normalizes the diabetes-induced seminiferous epithelial degeneration. The PPAR-γ activation normalizes testicular lipid peroxidation, but its inhibition reduces lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage (8-oxo-dG) in diabetic mice. As a response to diabetes-induced oxidative DNA damage, the base-excision repair (BER) mechanism proteins- 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylases (OGG1/2) and X-ray repair cross-complementing protein-1 (XRCC1) increase, whereas the redox-factor-1 (REF1), DNA polymerase (pol) δ and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) show a tendency to increase suggesting an attempt to repair the oxidative DNA damage. The PPAR-γ stimulation inhibits OGG2, DNA pol δ, and XRCC1 in diabetic mice testes, but PPAR-γ inhibition reduces oxidative DNA damage and normalizes BER protein levels. In conclusion, type 2 diabetes negatively affects testicular structure and function and increases oxidative DNA damage and BER protein levels due to increased DNA damage. The PPAR-γ modulation does not significantly affect the structural changes in the testis. The PPAR-γ stimulation aggravates diabetes-induced effects on testis, including oxidative DNA damage and BER proteins, but PPAR-γ inhibition marginally recovers these diabetic effects indicating the involvement of the receptor in the reproductive effects of diabetes.

J Orthop Res 2022; 40:862-870.

Abstract
Bone microarchitectural parameters significantly contribute to implant fixation strength but the role of bone matrix composition is not well understood. To determine the relative contribution of microarchitecture and bone matrix composition to implant fixation strength, we placed titanium implants in 12-week-old intact Sprague-Dawley rats, ovariectomized-Sprague-Dawley rats, and Zucker diabetic fatty rats. We assessed bone microarchitecture by microcomputed tomography, bone matrix composition by Raman spectroscopy, and implant fixation strength at 2, 6, and 10 weeks postimplantation. A stepwise linear regression model accounted for 83.3% of the variance in implant fixation strength with osteointegration volume/total volume (50.4%), peri-implant trabecular bone volume fraction (14.2%), cortical thickness (9.3%), peri-implant trabecular crystallinity (6.7%), and cortical area (2.8%) as the independent variables. Group comparisons indicated that osseointegration volume/total volume was significantly reduced in the ovariectomy group at Week 2 (~28%) and Week 10 (~21%) as well as in the diabetic group at Week 10 (~34%) as compared with the age matched Sprague-Dawley group. The crystallinity of the trabecular bone was significantly elevated in the ovariectomy group at Week 2 (~4%) but decreased in the diabetic group at Week 10 (~3%) with respect to the Sprague-Dawley group. Our study is the first to show that bone microarchitecture explains most of the variance in implant fixation strength, but that matrix composition is also a contributing factor. Therefore, treatment strategies aimed at improving bone-implant contact and peri-implant bone volume without compromising matrix quality should be prioritized.

Abstract
Poor bone quality is associated with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), with patients having a higher risk of fracture despite normal to high bone mineral density (BMD). Diabetes contributes to modifications of the mineral and organic matrix of bone. Hyperglycemia has been linked to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which increase the risk for skeletal fragility fractures. To this end, we investigated diabetes-induced skeletal fragility using a high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model and evaluated the efficacy of phenacyl thiazolium chloride (PTC) for in vitro removal of glycation products to rescue bone toughness. Ten-week-old C57BL/6 J male mice (n = 6/group) were fed a HFD or low-fat diet (LFD) for 22 weeks. Mice given a HFD developed T2D and increased body mass compared to LFD-fed mice. MicroCT results showed that diabetic mice had altered microarchitecture and increased mineralization as determined by volumetric BMD and increased mineral crystal size as determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Diabetic mice demonstrated loss of initiation and maximum toughness, which represent estimates of the stress intensity factor at a notch tip using yield force and ultimate force, respectively. Diabetic mice also showed higher accumulation of AGEs measured by biochemical assay (total fAGEs) and confocal Raman spectroscopy (Pentosidine (PEN), Carboxymethyl-lysine (CML)). Regression analyses confirmed the association between increased glycoxidation (CML, PEN) and loss of fracture toughness. Within the diabetic group, CML was the most significant predictor of initiation toughness while PEN predicted maximum toughness as determined by stepwise linear regression (i.e., stepAIC). Contralateral femora from HFD group were harvested and treated with PTC in vitro. PTC-treated samples showed total fAGEs decreased by 41.2%. PTC treatment partially restored bone toughness as, compared to T2D controls, maximum toughness increased by 35%. Collectively, our results demonstrate that matrix modifications in diet-induced T2D, particularly AGEs, induce bone fragility and their removal from bone matrix partially rescues T2D associated bone fragility.

Abstract
New Findings What is the topic of this review? The Zucker Diabetic‐Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) rat is in the early adoption phase of use by researchers in the fields of diabetes, including prediabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. It is essential that physiology researchers choose preclinical models that model human type 2 diabetes appropriately and are aware of the limitations on experimental design. What advances does it highlight? Our review of the scientific literature finds that although sex, age and diets contribute to variability, the ZDSD phenotype and disease progression model the characteristics of humans who have prediabetes and diabetes, including co‐morbidities.
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent disease and a significant concern for global population health. For persons with T2D, clinical treatments target not only the characteristics of hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance, but also co‐morbidities, such as obesity, cardiovascular and renal disease, neuropathies and skeletal bone conditions. The Zucker Diabetic‐Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) rat is a rodent model developed for experimental studies of T2D. We reviewed the scientific literature to highlight the characteristics of T2D development and the associated phenotypes, such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular complications and bone and skeletal pathologies in ZDSD rats. We found that ZDSD phenotype characteristics are independent of leptin receptor signalling. The ZDSD rat develops prediabetes, then progresses to overt diabetes that is accelerated by introduction of a timed high‐fat diet. In male ZDSD rats, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) increases at a constant rate from 7 to >30 weeks of age. Diabetic ZDSD rats are moderately hypertensive compared with other rat strains. Diabetes in ZDSD rats leads to endothelial dysfunction in specific vasculatures, impaired wound healing, decreased systolic and diastolic cardiac function, neuropathy and nephropathy. Changes to bone composition and the skeleton increase the risk of bone fractures. Zucker Diabetic‐Sprague Dawley rats have not yet achieved widespread use by researchers. We highlight sex‐related differences in the ZDSD phenotype and gaps in knowledge for future studies. Overall, scientific data support the premise that the phenotype and disease progression in ZDSD rats models the characteristics in humans. We conclude that ZDSD rats are an advantageous model to advance understanding and discovery of treatments for T2D through preclinical research.

Abstract
Abstract
The mechanisms of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated impaired fracture healing are poorly studied. In a murine model of T2D reflecting both hyperinsulinemia induced by high fat diet (HFD) and insulinopenia induced by treatment with streptozotocin (STZ), we examined bone healing in a tibia cortical bone defect. A delayed bone healing was observed during hyperinsulinemia as newly formed bone was reduced by – 28.4±7.7% and was associated with accumulation of marrow adipocytes at the defect site +124.06±38.71%, and increased density of SCA1+ (+74.99± 29.19%) but not Runx2 +osteoprogenitor cells. We also observed increased in reactive oxygen species production (+101.82± 33.05%), senescence gene signature (≈106.66± 34.03%) and LAMIN B1 - senescent cell density (+225.18± 43.15%), suggesting accelerated senescence phenotype. During insulinopenia, a more pronounced delayed bone healing was observed with decreased newly formed bone to -34.9± 6.2% which was inversely correlated with glucose levels (R 2=0.48, p<0.004) and callus adipose tissue area (R 2=0.3711, p<0.01). Finally, to investigate the relevance to human physiology, we observed that sera from obese and T2D subjects had disease state-specific inhibitory effects on osteoblast related gene signatures in human bone marrow stromal cells which resulted in inhibition of osteoblast and enhanced adipocyte differentiation. Our data demonstrate that T2D exerts negative effects on bone healing through inhibition of osteoblast differentiation of skeletal stem cells and induction of accelerated bone senescence and that the hyperglycaemia per se and not just insulin levels is detrimental for bone healing.

Gegen Qinlian Decoction ameliorates type 2 diabetes osteoporosis via IGFBP3/MAPK/NFATc1 signaling pathway based on cytokine antibody array. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 94:153810. [PMID: 34798519 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2021] [Revised: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis affects more than half the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Up to data, there is no effective clinical practice in managing type 2 diabetes osteoporosis (T2DOP) because of its complex pathogenesis. Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GQD) has been used for the long-term management of T2DM. However, the underlying mechanism of GQD in the treatment of T2DOP remains unknown. PURPOSE To reveal the role of GQD in T2DOP and its potential therapeutic targets in the management of T2DOP. STUDY DESIGN The effect of GQD on T2DOP was observed in db/db mice in four groups: model group, GQD low-dose group (GQD-L), GQD high-dose group (GQD-H), and metformin (positive control) group. C57BL/6J mice were used as the negative control group. METHODS Quantitative phytochemical analysis of GQD was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Micro-CT and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining were used to evaluate bone histomorphometry. To screen for candidate targets of GQD, a cytokine antibody array was used, followed by bioinformatics analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting (WB) were used to determine expression levels. RESULTS The major active components of GQD were confirmed by HPLC. Micro-CT and H&E staining showed that bone mass was significantly increased in the GQD-H group compared with the model group. Antibody arrays revealed that the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) was elevated in the GQD-H group. The MAPK pathway was identified using bioinformatics analysis. Additionally, the levels of osteoclastogenesis-related genes, including cathepsin K (Ctsk), acid phosphatase 5 (Acp5), matrix metallopeptidase 9 (Mmp9), and ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit D2 (Atp6v0d2) were significantly decreased in the GQD-H group. Compared with the model group, high-dosage GQD inhibited phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the expression of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1). CONCLUSION GQD plays a protective role in T2DOP by upregulating IGFBP3 expression and downregulating the IGFBP3/MAPK/NFATc1 signaling pathway. IGFBP3 in serum may also be a novel biomarker in the treatment of T2DOP. Our current findings not only expand the application of GQD, but also provide a theoretical basis and guidance for T2DOP.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is an increasingly prevalent disease with numerous comorbidities including many in the spine. T2D is strongly linked with vertebral fractures, intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, and severe chronic spinal pain. Yet the causative mechanism for these musculoskeletal impairments remains unclear. The chronic hyperglycemic state in T2D promotes the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in tissues, and the accumulation of AGEs may play a role in musculoskeletal complications by modifying the extracellular matrix, impairing cellular homeostasis, and perpetuating an inflammatory cascade via its receptor (RAGE). The AGE and RAGE associated alterations in extracellular matrix composition and morphological features of the vertebral bodies and IVDs are likely contributors to the incidence and severity of spinal pathologies in T2D. This review will broadly examine the effects of AGEs on tissues in the spine in the context of T2D, with an emphasis on the changes in the vertebrae and the IVD. Along with the clinical and epidemiological findings, we will provide an overview of preclinical rodent models of T2D that exhibit deficits in the IVD and vertebral bone. Elucidating the role of AGEs and RAGE will be crucial for understanding the disease mechanisms and translation therapies of musculoskeletal pathologies in T2D.

Abstract
Biological functions, including glycemic control and bone metabolism, are highly influenced by the body's internal clock. Circadian rhythms are biological rhythms that run with a period close to 24 hours and receive input from environmental stimuli, such as the light/dark cycle. We investigated the effects of circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), through alteration of the light/dark schedule, on glycemic control and bone quality of mice. Ten-week-old male mice (C57/BL6, n = 48) were given a low-fat diet (LFD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) and kept on a dayshift or altered schedule (RSS3) for 22 weeks. Mice were divided into four experimental groups (n = 12/group): Dayshift/LFD, Dayshift/HFD, RSS3/LFD, and RSS3/HFD. CRD in growing mice fed a HFD resulted in a diabetic state, with a 36.2% increase in fasting glucose levels compared to the Dayshift/LFD group. Micro-CT scans of femora revealed a reduction in inner and outer surface expansion for mice on a HFD and altered light schedule. Cancellous bone demonstrated deterioration of bone quality as trabecular number and thickness decreased while trabecular separation increased. While HFD increased cortical bone mineral density, its combination with CRD reduced this phenomenon. The growth of mineral crystals, determined by small angle X-ray scattering, showed HFD led to smaller crystals. Considering modifications of the organic matrix, regardless of diet, CRD exacerbated the accumulation of fluorescent advanced glycation end-products (fAGEs) in collagen. Strength testing of tibiae showed that CRD mitigated the higher strength in the HFD group and increased brittleness indicated by lower post-yield deflection and work-to-fracture. Consistent with accumulation of fAGEs, various measures of toughness were lowered with CRD, but combination of CRD with HFD protected against this decrease. Differences between strength and toughness results represent different contributions of structural and material properties of bone to energy dissipation. Collectively, these results demonstrate that combination of CRD with HFD impairs glycemic control and have complex effects on bone quality.

An inhibitor-mediated beta-cell dedifferentiation model reveals distinct roles for FoxO1 in glucagon repression and insulin maturation. Mol Metab 2021; 54:101329.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The loss of forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) signaling in response to metabolic stress contributes to the etiology of type II diabetes, causing the dedifferentiation of pancreatic beta cells to a cell type reminiscent of endocrine progenitors. Lack of methods to easily model this process in vitro, however, have hindered progress into the identification of key downstream targets and potential inhibitors. We therefore aimed to establish such an in vitro cellular dedifferentiation model and apply it to identify novel agents involved in the maintenance of beta-cell identity. METHODS The murine beta-cell line, Min6, was used for primary experiments and high-content screening. Screens encompassed a library of small-molecule drugs representing the chemical and target space of all FDA-approved small molecules with an automated immunofluorescence readout. Validation experiments were performed in a murine alpha-cell line as well as in primary murine and human diabetic islets. Developmental effects were studied in zebrafish and C. elegans models, while diabetic db/db mouse models were used to elucidate global glucose metabolism outcomes. RESULTS We show that short-term pharmacological FoxO1 inhibition can model beta-cell dedifferentiation by downregulating beta-cell-specific transcription factors, resulting in the aberrant expression of progenitor genes and the alpha-cell marker glucagon. From a high-content screen, we identified loperamide as a small molecule that can prevent FoxO inhibitor-induced glucagon expression and further stimulate insulin protein processing and secretion by altering calcium levels, intracellular pH, and FoxO1 localization. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides novel models, molecular targets, and drug candidates for studying and preventing beta-cell dedifferentiation.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex process requiring mechanical stability, an osteoconductive matrix, and osteoinductive and osteogenic biology. This intricate process is easily disrupted by various patient factors such as chronic disease and lifestyle. As the medical complexity and age of patients with fractures continue to increase, the importance of developing relevant experimental models is becoming paramount in preclinical research. The objective of this review is to describe the most common small animal models of systemically impaired fracture healing used in the orthopedic literature including osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol use, obesity, and ageing. This review will provide orthopedic researchers with a summary of current models of systemically impaired fracture healing used in small animals and present an overview of the methods of induction for each condition.

Abstract
Several species of eukaryotic organisms living in the high mountain areas of Armenia with naturally occurring levels of radiation have high adaptive responses to radiation. We speculate on the role of the gastrointestinal microbiota in this protection against radiation. Therefore, seventeen microorganisms with high antagonistic activities against several multi-drug-resistant pathogens were isolated from the human and animal gut microbiota, as well as from traditional Armenian fermented products. These strains were tested in vivo on Wistar rats to determine their ability to protect the eukaryotic host against radiation damages. The efficiency of the probiotics' application and the dependence on pre- and post-radiation nutrition of rats were described. The effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus Vahe, isolated from a healthy breastfed infant, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii IAHAHI, isolated from the fermented dairy product matsuni, on the survival of irradiated rats, and their blood leucocyte and glucose levels, were considered to be the most promising, based on this study's results.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results in compromised bone microstructure and quality, and subsequently increased risks of fractures. However, it still lacks safe and effective approaches resisting T2DM bone fragility. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) exposure has proven to be effective in accelerating fracture healing and attenuating osteopenia/osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency. Nevertheless, whether and how PEMFs resist T2DM-associated bone deterioration remain not fully identified. The KK-Ay mouse was used as the T2DM model. We found that PEMF stimulation with 2 h/day for 8 wk remarkably improved trabecular bone microarchitecture, decreased cortical bone porosity, and promoted trabecular and cortical bone material properties in KK-Ay mice. PEMF stimulated bone formation in KK-Ay mice, as evidenced by increased serum levels of bone formation (osteocalcin and P1NP), enhanced bone formation rate, and increased osteoblast number. PEMF significantly suppressed osteocytic apoptosis and sclerostin expression in KK-Ay mice. PEMF exerted beneficial effects on osteoblast- and osteocyte-related gene expression in the skeleton of KK-Ay mice. Nevertheless, PEMF exerted no effect on serum biomarkers of bone resorption (TRAcP5b and CTX-1), osteoclast number, or osteoclast-specific gene expression (TRAP and cathepsin K). PEMF upregulated gene expression of canonical Wnt ligands (including Wnt1, Wnt3a, and Wnt10b), but not noncanonical Wnt5a. PEMF also upregulated skeletal protein expression of downstream p-GSK-3β and β-catenin in KK-Ay mice. Moreover, PEMF-induced improvement in bone microstructure, mechanical strength, and bone formation in KK-Ay mice was abolished after intragastric administration with the Wnt antagonist ETC-159. Together, our results suggest that PEMF can improve bone microarchitecture and quality by enhancing the biological activities of osteoblasts and osteocytes, which are associated with the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PEMF might become an effective countermeasure against T2DM-induced bone deterioration.NEW & NOTEWORTHY PEMF improved trabecular bone microarchitecture and suppressed cortical bone porosity in T2DM KK-Ay mice. It attenuated T2DM-induced detrimental consequence on trabecular and cortical bone material properties. PEMF resisted bone deterioration in KK-Ay mice by enhancing osteoblast-mediated bone formation. PEMF also significantly suppressed osteocytic apoptosis and sclerostin expression in KK-Ay mice. The therapeutic potential of PEMF on T2DM-induced bone deterioration was associated with the activation of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling.

Abstract
The importance of the early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes and its cutaneous complications has become increasingly recognized. When diabetic non-injured skin was stained with Masson's trichrome, its dermal collagen was found to be disordered, its density was variable, and it was dispersed or arranged in vague fascicles. The collagen type I sequencing results of RNA sequencing-based transcriptome analysis of three primary human skin cell types-dermal fibroblasts, dermal microvascular endothelial cells, and epidermal keratinocytes-under high glucose were analyzed. The results showed that both COL1A1 and COL1A2 mRNA expressions were reduced in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The ratio of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 in HDFs increased when treated with high glucose. By inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 with SB-3CT, collagen deposition disorder of the skin in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mice was alleviated. The imbalance of MMP2/TIMP2 and MMP9/TIMP1 contributes to the non-injured skin disorder of collagen deposition in diabetes, suggesting a possibility for early treatment of diabetes skin complications.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with advanced glycation end product (AGE) enrichment and considered a risk factor for intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. We hypothesized that systemic AGE inhibition, achieved using pyridoxamine (PM), attenuates IVD degeneration in T2DM rats. To induce IVD degeneration, lumbar disc injury or sham surgery was performed on Zucker Diabetic Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) or control Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Post-surgery, IVD-injured ZDSD rats received daily PM dissolved in drinking water or water only. The resulting groups were SD uninjured, SD injured, ZDSD uninjured, ZDSD injured, and ZDSD injured + PM. Levels of blood glycation and disc degeneration were investigated. At week 8 post-surgery, glycated serum protein (GSP) levels were increased in ZDSDs compared to SDs. PM treatment attenuated this increase. Micro-MRI analysis demonstrated IVD dehydration in injured versus uninjured SDs and ZDSDs. In the ZDSD injured + PM group, IVD dehydration was diminished compared to ZDSD injured. AGE levels were decreased and aggrecan levels increased in ZDSD injured + PM versus ZDSD injured rats. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses further supported the beneficial effect of PM. In summary, PM attenuated GSP levels and IVD degeneration processes in ZDSD rats, demonstrating its potential to attenuate IVD degeneration in addition to managing glycemia in T2DM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) adversely affects the normal functioning, intrinsic material properties, and structural integrity of many tissues, and bone fragility is one of them. To simulate human T2D and to investigate diabetic bone fragility, many rodent diabetic models have been developed. Still, an outbred genetically normal nonobese diabetic rat model is not available that can better simulate the disease characteristics of nonobese T2D patients, who have a high prevalence in Asia. In this study, we used a combination treatment of high‐fat diet (4 weeks, 58% kcal as fat) and low‐dose streptozotocin (STZ; 35 mg/kg i.p. at the end of the fourth week) to develop T2D in female Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats. After 8 weeks of the establishment of the T2D model, the femoral bones were excised after euthanizing rats (animal age approximately 21 to 22 weeks; n = 10 with T2D, n = 10 without diabetes). The bone microstructure (μCT), mechanical, and material properties (three‐point bending, cyclic reference point indentation, nanoindentation), mean mineral crystallite size (XRD), bone composition (mineral‐to‐matrix ratio, nonenzymatic cross‐link ratio [NE‐xLR], Fourier transform‐infrared microspectroscopy), and total fluorescent advanced glycation end products were analyzed. We found that diabetic bone had reduced whole‐bone strength and compromised structural properties (μCT). The NE‐xLRs were elevated in the T2D group, and strongly and negatively correlated with postyield displacement, which suggests bone fragility was caused by a lack of glycation control. Along with that, the decreased mineral‐to‐matrix ratio and modulus, increased indentation distance increase, and wider mineral crystallite size in the T2D group were evidence that the diabetic bone composition and material properties had changed, and bone became weaker with a tendency to easily fracture. Altogether, this model simulates the natural history and metabolic characteristics of late‐stage T2D (insulin resistance and as disease progress develops, hypoinsulinemia) for nonobese young (and/or adolescent) T2D patients (Asians) and provides potential evidence of diabetic bone fragility at various organization levels. © 2020 The Authors.

Early Pro-Inflammatory Remodeling of HDL Proteome in a Model of Diet-Induced Obesity: 2H 2O-Metabolic Labeling-Based Kinetic Approach. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21207472.

Abstract
Mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks or longer develop hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver. Additionally, a high-fat diet induces inflammation that remodels and affects the anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic property of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the precise time course of metabolic disease progression and HDL remodeling remains unclear. Short-term (four weeks) high-fat feeding (60% fat calories) was performed in wild-type male C57BL/6J mice to gain insights into the early metabolic disease processes in conjunction with a HDL proteome dynamics analysis using a heavy water metabolic labeling approach. The high-fat diet-fed mice developed hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, hypercholesterolemia without hypertriglyceridemia or hepatic steatosis. A plasma HDL proteome dynamics analysis revealed increased turnover rates (and reduced half-lives) of several acute-phase response proteins involved in innate immunity, including complement C3 (12.77 ± 0.81 vs. 9.98 ± 1.20 h, p < 0.005), complement factor B (12.71 ± 1.01 vs. 10.85 ± 1.04 h, p < 0.05), complement Factor H (19.60 ± 1.84 vs. 16.80 ± 1.58 h, p < 0.05), and complement factor I (25.25 ± 1.29 vs. 19.88 ± 1.50 h, p < 0.005). Our findings suggest that an early immune response-induced inflammatory remodeling of the plasma HDL proteome precedes the diet-induced steatosis and dyslipidemia.
