Impact of therapeutic doses of prednisolone and other glucocorticoids on insulin secretion from human islets. ANNALES D'ENDOCRINOLOGIE 2024; 86:101676. [PMID: 39643079 DOI: 10.1016/j.ando.2024.101676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2024] [Revised: 11/11/2024] [Accepted: 11/25/2024] [Indexed: 12/09/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glucocorticoid-induced diabetes (GCID) is a prevalent health issue, generally attributed to insulin resistance. High doses of dexamethasone (DEX) are known to inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), but the effects of lower doses, commonly used in chronic therapy, and equipotent doses of other glucocorticoids (GCs) such as hydrocortisone (HC) and prednisone (PRED) remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate these effects in vitro, and explore variations between patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dynamic perifusion assays were conducted on human islets to evaluate the impact of different GCs on GSIS. The islets were treated for 24h with 250nM PRED and other GCs at equipotent anti-inflammatory doses (HC: 1μM; DEX: 38nM). RESULTS In 11 human islet donor preparations, 250nM PRED, corresponding to a clinical oral dose of 5mg/day, significantly inhibited the first and second phase of GSIS: area under the curve (AUC) decreased by 32.3% (P<0.001), first phase by 41.5% (P<0.001), and second phase by 38.4% (P<0.001). Despite interindividual differences in GSIS response to PRED, no significant differences were observed according to body mass index, gender or age. Comparing the effects of GCs at equipotent anti-inflammatory doses, DEX had a more pronounced inhibitory effect on GSIS than HC or PRED. CONCLUSIONS In vitro, low-dose PRED treatment significantly impacted GSIS. DEX had a more unfavorable impact on GSIS than HC or PRED, indicating that metabolic effects do not align with anti-inflammatory potency.

Abstract
Patients with type 1 diabetes and concurrent subcutaneous insulin resistance present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians. The standard therapeutic approach is the administration of intravenous insulin. Pancreatic transplantation should be considered at an appropriate time, particularly in the event of life-threatening ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, catheter-associated thrombosis, and infections. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes since early childhood and increasingly uncontrollable subcutaneous and intramuscular insulin resistance. Furthermore, we present the diagnostic pathway and therapeutic interventions performed, culminating in pancreatic transplantation as a curative approach. Immediate graft function resulted in optimal glycemic control.

Hellenic J Cardiol 2024:S1109-9666(24)00208-2. [PMID: 39393677 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2024.09.007] [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: 07/11/2024] [Revised: 09/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/28/2024] [Indexed: 10/13/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has led to the widespread use of cardiovascular drugs that can adversely impact glucose metabolism. This review focuses on the latest evidence on the potential of cardiovascular drugs to induce adverse glycemic effects but also the underlying mechanisms, prevention, and management strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted across scientific databases until May 25th, 2024. RESULTS Certain cardiovascular drugs can induce hyperglycemia through multiple mechanisms, including altered the secretion and sensitivity of insulin through direct cytotoxic effects toward pancreatic beta cells and increased glucose secretion. Notably, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and statins have been associated with significant glycemic disturbances. The risk of hyperglycemia varies based on individual factors, drug dosages, and concurrent medications. These drug-induced hyperglycemic effects may sometimes reverse upon discontinuation of related medication. Effective management should include lifestyle modifications, the use of glucose-lowering medications, and opting for lower-risk cardiovascular drugs. Monitoring for hyperglycemia involves educating affected individuals and conducting regular blood glucose tests. Identifying at-risk individuals and implementing preventive measures are crucial for improving both cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Certain cardiovascular drugs significantly contribute to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus through various mechanisms. Effective management includes identifying at-risk individuals, choosing lower-risk medications, and implementing monitoring and preventive strategies. Further research is needed to fully understand these mechanisms and develop targeted interventions to prevent and manage cardiovascular drug-induced hyperglycemia, thereby improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is comprised of two predominant subtypes: type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), accounting for approximately 5 % of cases worldwide and resulting from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells, and type 2 (T2DM), accounting for approximately 95 % of cases globally and characterized by the inability of pancreatic β-cells to meet the demand for insulin due to a relative β-cell deficit in the setting of peripheral insulin resistance. Both types of DM involve derangement of glucose metabolism and are metabolic diseases generally considered to be initiated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Viruses have been reported to play a role as infectious etiological factors in the initiation of both types of DM in predisposed individuals. Among the reported viral infections causing DM in humans, the most studied include coxsackie B virus, cytomegalovirus and hepatitis C virus. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the diabetogenic potential of SARS-CoV-2, rekindling interest in the field of virus-induced diabetes (VID). This review discusses the reported mechanisms of viral-induced DM, addressing emerging concepts in VID, as well as highlighting areas where knowledge is lacking, and further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
Primary diseases of adipose tissue are rare disorders resulting from impairments in the physiological functions of adipose tissue (lipid stockage and endocrine function). It mainly refers to lipodystrophy syndromes with subcutaneous adipose tissue atrophy and/or altered body distribution of adipose tissue leading to insulin resistance, diabetes, hepatic steatosis, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular complications and polycystic ovary syndrome in women. Those syndromes are congenital or acquired, and lipoatrophy is partial or generalized. The diagnosis of lipodystrophy syndromes is often unrecognized, delayed and/or inaccurate, while it is of major importance to adapt investigations to search for specific comorbidities, in particular cardiovascular involvement, and set up multidisciplinary care, and in some cases specific treatment. Physicians have to recognize the clinical and biological elements allowing to establish the diagnosis. Lipodystrophic syndromes should be considered, notably, in patients with diabetes at a young age, with a normal or low BMI, negative pancreatic autoantibodies, presenting clinical signs of lipodystrophy and insulin resistance (acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism, hepatic steatosis, high insulin doses). The association of diabetes and a family history of severe and/or early cardiovascular disease (coronary atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy with rhythm and/or conduction disorders) may reveal Dunnigan syndrome, the most frequent form of familial lipodystrophy, due to LMNA pathogenic variants. Clinical assessment is primarily done through clinical examination: acanthosis nigricans, abnormal adipose tissue distribution, lipoatrophy, muscular hypertrophy, acromegaloid or Cushingoid features, lipomas, highly visible subcutaneous veins, may be revealing signs. The amount of circulating adipokines may reflect of adipose dysfunction with low leptinemia and adiponectinemia. Other biological metabolic parameters (hypertriglyceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, increased glycemia and hepatic enzymes) may also represent markers of insulin resistance. Quantification of total body fat by impedancemetry or dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) reveals decreased total body mass, in correlation with adipose tissue atrophy; metabolic magnetic resonance imaging can also quantify intraperitoneal and abdominal fat and the degree of hepatic steatosis. Histological analysis of adipose tissue showing structural abnormalities should be reserved for clinical research. Acquired lipodystrophic syndromes most often lead to similar clinical phenotype as congenital syndromes with generalized or partial lipoatrophy. The most frequent causes are old anti-HIV therapy or glucocorticoid treatments. Family history, history of treatments and clinical examination, including a careful physical examination, are keys for diagnosis.

Abstract
In this report, we present a case of a 70-year-old male with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who developed type 1 diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) following treatment with atezolizumab plus chemotherapy. Despite well-controlled T2DM with oral hypoglycemic agents, the initiation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) led to rapid deterioration into insulin-dependent status due to ICI-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Vigilant monitoring for hyperglycemia and timely intervention is crucial during ICI therapy, considering the potentially life-threatening complications. Although the patient achieved extended progression-free survival (PFS) post-treatment, re-administration of atezolizumab resulted in a bullous pemphigoid-like rash, necessitating discontinuation of the drug and corticosteroid treatment. The impact of recurring immune-related adverse events (irAEs) on treatment efficacy warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes have negative and potentially serious health consequences but can often be unnoticed. METHODS We reviewed the literature searching Medline database for articles addressing drug-induced hyperglycemia and diabetes up to January 31, 2023. We also selected drugs that could induce hyperglycemia or diabetes according official data from drug information databases Thériaque and Micromedex. For each selected drug or pharmacotherapeutic class, the mechanisms of action potentially involved were investigated. For drugs considered to be at risk of hyperglycemia or diabetes, disproportionality analyses were performed using data from the international pharmacovigilance database VigiBase. In order to detect new pharmacovigilance signals, additional disproportionality analyses were carried out for drug classes with more than 100 cases reported in VigiBase, but not found in the literature or official documents. RESULTS The main drug classes found to cause hyperglycemia are glucocorticoids, HMG-coA reductase inhibitors, thiazide diuretics, beta-blockers, antipsychotics, fluoroquinolones, antiretrovirals, antineoplastic agents and immunosuppressants. The main mechanisms involved are alterations in insulin secretion and sensitivity, direct cytotoxic effects on pancreatic cells and increases in glucose production. Pharmacovigilance signal were found for a majority of drugs or pharmacological classes identified as being at risk of diabetes or hyperglycemia. We identified new pharmacovigilance signals with drugs not known to be at risk according to the literature or official data: phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists, sodium oxybate, biphosphonates including alendronic acid, digoxin, sartans, linosipril, diltiazem, verapamil, and darbepoetin alpha. Further studies will be needed to confirm these signals. CONCLUSIONS The risks of induced hyperglycemia vary from one drug to another, and the underlying mechanisms are multiple and potentially complex. Clinicians need to be vigilant when using at-risk drugs in order to detect and manage these adverse drug reactions. However, it is to emphasize that the benefits of appropriately prescribed treatments most often outweigh their metabolic risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Uganda, it is recommended that persons with HIV receive integrated care to address both hypertension and diabetes. However, the extent to which appropriate diabetes care is delivered remains unknown and was the aim of this study. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study among participants receiving integrated care for HIV and hypertension for at least 1 year at a large urban HIV clinic in Mulago, Uganda to determine the diabetes care cascade. RESULTS Of the 1115 participants, the majority were female (n = 697, 62.5%) with a median age of 50 years (Inter Quartile Range: 43, 56). Six hundred twenty-seven participants (56%) were screened for diabetes mellitus, 100 (16%) were diagnosed and almost all that were diagnosed (n = 94, 94%) were initiated on treatment. Eighty-five patients (90%) were retained and all were monitored (100%) in care. Thirty-two patients (32/85, 38%) had glycaemic control. Patients on a Dolutegravir-based regimen (OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.22-0.46, p < 0.001) and those with a non-suppressed viral load (OR = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.07-0.83, p = 0.02) were less likely to be screened for diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS In very successful HIV care programs, large gaps still linger for the management of non-communicable diseases necessitating uniquely designed intervention by local authorities and implementing partners addressing the dual HIV and non-communicable diseases burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidance on clozapine dosing in treatment refractory schizophrenia is based largely on data from young adult male White patients. AIM This study aimed to audit the plasma clozapine and N -desmethylclozapine (norclozapine) concentrations attained in male and female patients of different ethnicity and smoking habit. METHOD The effect of dose, sex, ethnicity, age, body weight, and smoking habit on plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations were studied using data from a therapeutic drug monitoring service, 1993 to 2017. RESULTS There were 371,610 samples (48,098 patients, 32,855 male). Ethnicity was recorded for 763 Afro-Caribbean, 536 Asian, and 7940 White patients. Males were prescribed significantly higher median doses than females but attained significantly lower median plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations. Asian and Afro-Caribbean males were prescribed significantly lower and higher median doses, respectively, than White males but attained significantly higher and lower median plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations, respectively. Data from 78,431 samples (23,516 patients) were analyzed using a linear mixed model. The predicted dose to attain a predose plasma clozapine concentration of 0.35 mg/L in a nonsmoking White male aged 40 years, with weight of 70 kg, and plasma clozapine-norclozapine ratio of 1.32 was 344 mg/d (95% confidence interval, 227-526 mg/d). The predicted dose was 33% higher and 20% lower in otherwise analogous Afro-Caribbean and Asian patients, respectively. In all cases, the predicted dose was increased by 36% in smokers and decreased by 22% in females. CONCLUSIONS Research is needed to further investigate the complex relationships between dose, sex, ethnicity, plasma clozapine and norclozapine concentrations, and clinical outcome such as weight gain.

Abstract
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a side effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, is a triad of high metabolic anion gap acidosis, raised serum and urine ketones, and serum glucose <250 mg/dl. SGLT2 inhibitors cause a carbohydrate deficit by glucosuria, which leads to an increased glucagon/insulin ratio, the metabolic shift from glucose to lipid utilization causing ketogenesis, and hence euglycemic DKA. Additional factors like the ketogenic diet, illness, surgery, and pregnancy contribute to precipitating these episodes. Keywords search included “Euglycemic DKA and SGLT2 inhibitors” in PubMed and Google Scholar, to compile data from existing articles that provide information on the withholding and restarting period of the drug after a euglycemic DKA episode. SGLT2 inhibitors, used in the treatment of type 2 DM, have an average half-life of 11-13 hours, so most articles suggested withholding the drug three days before any elective surgery but some articles suggested a longer withholding period based on other precipitating factors contributing to euglycemic DKA. Hence, we came up with patient inclusion criteria and concomitant therapies review that we need to consider in making this decision. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach is required when laying out guidelines for restarting the drug to have a unanimous approach. After reviewing the existing literature, it is clear that concrete guidelines are required to decide on drug withholding and restarting periods after a euglycemic DKA episode, as they vary among different institutions and different specialties. We believe it is crucial to consider patient inclusion criteria and concomitant therapies in forming those guidelines.

Abstract
Enteroviruses are believed to trigger or accelerate islet autoimmunity in genetically susceptible individuals, thereby resulting in loss of functional insulin-producing β-cells and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Although enteroviruses are primarily involved in acute and lytic infections in vitro and in vivo, they can also establish a persistent infection. Prospective epidemiological studies have strongly associated the persistence of enteroviruses, especially coxsackievirus B (CVB), with the appearance of islet autoantibodies and an increased risk of T1DM. CVB can persist in pancreatic ductal and β-cells, which leads to structural or functional alterations of these cells, and to a chronic inflammatory response that promotes recruitment and activation of pre-existing autoreactive T cells and β-cell autoimmune destruction. CVB persistence in other sites, such as the intestine, blood cells and thymus, has been described; these sites could serve as a reservoir for infection or reinfection of the pancreas, and this persistence could have a role in the disturbance of tolerance to β-cells. This Review addresses the involvement of persistent enterovirus infection in triggering islet autoimmunity and T1DM, as well as current strategies to control enterovirus infections for preventing or reducing the risk of T1DM onset.
