[PMID: 38880418 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132268] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious condition with high mortality rates. Early risk stratification is of significant importance to assess the prognosis. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) levels in AMI patients and its potential as a prognosis biomarker were unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate serum IGFBP5 levels in AMI and its prognostic value for short-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). METHODS We collected serum IGFBP5 levels from 200 patients with new-onset AMI and 71 coronary heart disease (CAD) patients without AMI. Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between IGFBP5 and baseline variables. AMI patients were followed up, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve, multivariate Cox models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 217 days, 40 patients developed MACE. Serum IGFBP5 was associated with serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P = 0.013 and P = 0.013). In multivariable survival analyses, higher IGFBP5 was associated with an increased risk of MACE [HR = 1.183, 95%CI (1.104, 1.268), P < 0.001)]. There was a positive and linear association between IGFBP5 levels and the occurrence of MACE (P for nonlinearity = 0.283). The positive association between IGFBP5 and MACE risk consist across subgroups characterized by demographics and comorbidities. CONCLUSION Serum IGFBP5 was highly expressed in patients with AMI and positively associated with the short-term risk of MACE. Circulating IGFBP5 may be a diagnostic and prognostic indicator for AMI, and further studies with larger sample and longer follow-up are warranted.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) cause significant neuronal loss and severely impair daily living. Despite different clinical manifestations, these disorders share common pathological molecular hallmarks, including mitochondrial dysfunction and synaptic degeneration. A detailed comparison of molecular changes at single-cell resolution in the cortex, as one of the main brain regions affected in both disorders, may reveal common susceptibility factors and disease mechanisms. We performed single-cell transcriptomic analyses of post-mortem cortical tissue from AD and PD subjects and controls to identify common and distinct disease-associated changes in individual genes, cellular pathways, molecular networks, and cell-cell communication events, and to investigate common mechanisms. The results revealed significant disease-specific, shared, and opposing gene expression changes, including cell type-specific signatures for both diseases. Hypoxia signaling and lipid metabolism emerged as significantly modulated cellular processes in both AD and PD, with contrasting expression alterations between the two diseases. Furthermore, both pathway and cell-cell communication analyses highlighted shared significant alterations involving the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which has been implicated in the inflammatory response in several neurodegenerative disorders. Overall, the analyses revealed common and distinct alterations in gene signatures, pathway activities, and gene regulatory subnetworks in AD and PD. The results provide insights into coordinated changes in pathway activity and cell-cell communication that may guide future diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Key Points Set7 knockout improves diabetic glomerular structure and function and prevents diabetes-induced endothelial–mesenchymal transition (EDMT) by regulating Igfbp5. Set7 knockdown prevents, and (R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride reverses, diabetes-induced EDMT by regulating insulin growth factor binding protein 5. Set7 regulates the phenotypic EDMT switch, and inhibiting the methyltransferase attenuates glomerular injury in diabetic kidney disease. Background Hyperglycemia influences the development of glomerular endothelial cell damage, and nowhere is this more evident than in the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). While the Set7 lysine methyltransferase is a known hyperglycemic sensor, its role in endothelial cell function in the context of DKD remains poorly understood. Methods Single-cell transcriptomics was used to investigate Set7 regulation in a mouse model of DKD, followed by validation of findings using pharmacological and short hairpin RNA inhibition inhibition of Set7. Results Set7 knockout (Set7KO) improved glomerular structure and albuminuria in a mouse model of diabetes. Analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data showed dynamic transcriptional changes in diabetic renal cells. Set7KO controls phenotype switching of glomerular endothelial cell populations by transcriptional regulation of the insulin growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5). Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that the expression of the IGFBP5 gene was associated with mono- and dimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1/2). This generalizability was investigated in human kidney and circulating hyperglycemic cells exposed to TGFβ 1. We showed that the highly selective Set7 inhibitor (R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride attenuated indices associated with renal cell damage and mesenchymal transition, specifically (1 ) reactive oxygen species production, (2 ) IGFBP5 gene regulation, and (3 ) expression of mesenchymal markers. Furthermore, renal benefit observed in Set7KO diabetic mice closely corresponded in human glomerular endothelial cells with (R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride inhibition or Set7 short hairpin RNA silencing. Conclusions Set7 regulates the phenotypic endothelial–mesenchymal transition switch and suggests that targeting the lysine methyltransferase could protect glomerular cell injury in DKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. Studies have shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) may contribute to methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity and neuronal apoptosis in PC-12 cells and rat striatum. Here, we studied the expression and role of IGFBP5 in the 6-OHDA-toxicant model of PD. METHODS PC-12 and SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to 50 μm 6-OHDA for 24 h. qRT-PCR, western blotting, CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, annexin V staining, and immunofluorescence were performed to study the effects of IGFBP5-specific siRNAs. The effects of IGFBP5 on a rat 6-OHDA model of PD were confirmed by performing behavioral tests, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting. RESULTS In the GSE7621 dataset, IGFBP5 was highly expressed in the substantia nigra tissues of PD patients compared to healthy controls. In PC-12 and SH-SY5Y cells, IGFBP5 was upregulated following 6-OHDA exposure in a dose-dependent manner. Silencing of IGFBP5 promoted PC-12 and SH-SY5Y proliferation and inhibited apoptosis under 6-OHDA stimulation. Silencing of IGFBP5 relieved 6-OHDA-induced TH-positive neuron loss. Hedgehog signaling pathway was predicted as a downstream signaling pathway of IGFBP5. Negative regulation between IGFBP5 and sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway was confirmed in vitro. The effects of IGFBP5 silencing on SH-SY5Y cells were partially reversed using cyclopamine, a direct inhibitor of the SHH signaling pathway. In addition, silencing of IGFBP5 attenuated motor deficits and neuronal damage in 6-OHDA-induced PD rats. CONCLUSION Elevated IGFBP5 expression may be involved in 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity through regulation of the SHH signaling pathway.

Dynamic dysregulation of transcriptomic networks in brainstem autonomic nuclei during hypertension development in the female spontaneously hypertensive rat. Physiol Genomics 2024; 56:283-300.

Abstract
Neurogenic hypertension stems from an imbalance in autonomic function that shifts the central cardiovascular control circuits toward a state of dysfunction. Using the female spontaneously hypertensive rat and the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat model, we compared the transcriptomic changes in three autonomic nuclei in the brainstem, nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), caudal ventrolateral medulla, and rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in a time series at 8, 10, 12, 16, and 24 wk of age, spanning the prehypertensive stage through extended chronic hypertension. RNA-sequencing data were analyzed using an unbiased, dynamic pattern-based approach that uncovered dominant and several subtle differential gene regulatory signatures. Our results showed a persistent dysregulation across all three autonomic nuclei regardless of the stage of hypertension development as well as a cascade of transient dysregulation beginning in the RVLM at the prehypertensive stage that shifts toward the NTS at the hypertension onset. Genes that were persistently dysregulated were heavily enriched for immunological processes such as antigen processing and presentation, the adaptive immune response, and the complement system. Genes with transient dysregulation were also largely region-specific and were annotated for processes that influence neuronal excitability such as synaptic vesicle release, neurotransmitter transport, and an array of neuropeptides and ion channels. Our results demonstrate that neurogenic hypertension is characterized by brainstem region-specific transcriptomic changes that are highly dynamic with significant gene regulatory changes occurring at the hypertension onset as a key time window for dysregulation of homeostatic processes across the autonomic control circuits.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Hypertension is a major disease and is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular complications and stroke. The gene expression changes in the central nervous system circuits driving hypertension are understudied. Here, we show that coordinated and region-specific gene expression changes occur in the brainstem autonomic circuits over time during the development of a high blood pressure phenotype in a rat model of human essential hypertension.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. The resulting polyglutamine (polyQ) tract alters the function of the HTT protein. Although HTT is expressed in different tissues, the medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs) in the striatum are particularly vulnerable in HD. Thus, we sought to define the proteome of human HD patient-derived MSNs. We differentiated HD72 induced pluripotent stem cells and isogenic controls into MSNs and carried out quantitative proteomic analysis. Using data-dependent acquisitions with FAIMS for label-free quantification on the Orbitrap Lumos mass spectrometer, we identified 6,323 proteins with at least two unique peptides. Of these, 901 proteins were altered significantly more in the HD72-MSNs than in isogenic controls. Functional enrichment analysis of upregulated proteins demonstrated extracellular matrix and DNA signaling (DNA replication pathway, double-strand break repair, G1/S transition) with the highest significance. Conversely, processes associated with the downregulated proteins included neurogenesis-axogenesis, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor-signaling pathway, Ephrin-A: EphA pathway, regulation of synaptic plasticity, triglyceride homeostasis cholesterol, plasmid lipoprotein particle immune response, interferon-γ signaling, immune system major histocompatibility complex, lipid metabolism and cellular response to stimulus. Moreover, proteins involved in the formation and maintenance of axons, dendrites, and synapses (e.g., Septin protein members) were dysregulated in HD72-MSNs. Importantly, lipid metabolism pathways were altered, and using quantitative image, we found analysis that lipid droplets accumulated in the HD72-MSN, suggesting a deficit in the turnover of lipids possibly through lipophagy. Our proteomics analysis of HD72-MSNs identified relevant pathways that are altered in MSNs and confirm current and new therapeutic targets for HD.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disorder. The aim of the present investigation was to identify gene signature specific to T2DM. Methods The next generation sequencing (NGS) dataset GSE81608 was retrieved from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between T2DM and normal controls. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, modules, miRNA (micro RNA)-hub gene regulatory network construction and TF (transcription factor)-hub gene regulatory network construction, and topological analysis were performed. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was also performed to verify the prognostic value of hub genes. Results A total of 927 DEGs (461 were up regulated and 466 down regulated genes) were identified in T2DM. GO and REACTOME results showed that DEGs mainly enriched in protein metabolic process, establishment of localization, metabolism of proteins, and metabolism. The top centrality hub genes APP, MYH9, TCTN2, USP7, SYNPO, GRB2, HSP90AB1, UBC, HSPA5, and SQSTM1 were screened out as the critical genes. ROC analysis provides prognostic value of hub genes. Conclusion The potential crucial genes, especially APP, MYH9, TCTN2, USP7, SYNPO, GRB2, HSP90AB1, UBC, HSPA5, and SQSTM1, might be linked with risk of T2DM. Our study provided novel insights of T2DM into genetics, molecular pathogenesis, and novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of diabetic erectile dysfunction (ED) is rapidly increasing, and due to the severe angiopathy caused by diabetes, current drugs are ineffective at treating ED. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) promotes cell death and induces apoptosis in various cell types. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of IGFBP5 knockdown in improving erectile function in diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetes was induced by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) intraperitoneally into male 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice. Eight weeks after diabetes induction, mice were divided into four groups: a nondiabetic control group and three STZ-induced diabetic mice groups, which were administered intracavernous injections of phosphate buffered saline, scrambled control shRNA, or shRNA targeting mouse IGFBP5 (shIGFBP5) lentivirus particles. Two weeks later, we measured erectile function by electrically stimulating the bilateral cavernous nerve. To mimic diabetic angiopathy, primary cavernous endothelial cells (MCECs) from healthy mice were cultured and treated with glucose. RESULTS IGFBP5 expression in MCECs or cavernous tissues were significantly increased under diabetic conditions, and knockdown of IGFBP5 induced MCECs angiogenic activity under high-glucose conditions. STZ-induced diabetic mice had reduced erectile function, but shIGFBP5 treatment resulted in significant improvements (to 90% of the nondiabetic control group level). Furthermore, in diabetic mice, numbers of cavernous endothelial cells, pericytes, and neuronal cells were increased by shIGFBP5 treatment, which also increased eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation, decreased permeability and apoptosis of cavernous endothelial cells. In addition, IGFBP5 was found to mediate the AKT, ERK, p38 signaling pathways. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Knockdown of IGFBP5 improved erectile function in diabetic mice by promoting cell proliferation and reducing apoptosis and permeability. Local inhibition of IGFBP5 expression may provide a new treatment strategy for diabetic ED and other ischemic vascular or neurological diseases.

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5b of Trachinotus ovatus and its heparin-binding motif play a critical role in host antibacterial immune responses via NF-κB pathway. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1126843. [PMID: 36865533 PMCID: PMC9972581 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1126843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) exerts an essential biological role in many processes, including apoptosis, cellular differentiation, growth, and immune responses. However, compared to mammalians, our knowledge of IGFBP5 in teleosts remains limited. Methods In this study, TroIGFBP5b, an IGFBP5 homologue from golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) was identified. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to check its mRNA expression level in healthy condition and after stimulation. In vivo overexpression and RNAi knockdown method were performed to evaluate the antibacterial profile. We constructed a mutant in which HBM was deleted to better understand the mechanism of its role in antibacterial immunity. Subcellular localization and nuclear translocation were verified by immunoblotting. Further, proliferation of head kidney lymphocytes (HKLs) and phagocytic activity of head kidney macrophages (HKMs) were detected through CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. Immunofluorescence microscopy assay (IFA) and dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assay were used to evaluate the activity in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κβ) pathway. Results The TroIGFBP5b mRNA expression level was upregulated after bacterial stimulation. In vivo, TroIGFBP5b overexpression significantly improved the antibacterial immunity of fish. In contrast, TroIGFBP5b knockdown significantly decreased this ability. Subcellular localization results showed that TroIGFBP5b and TroIGFBP5b-δHBM were both present in the cytoplasm of GPS cells. After stimulation, TroIGFBP5b-δHBM lost the ability to transfer from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In addition, rTroIGFBP5b promoted the proliferation of HKLs and phagocytosis of HKMs, whereas rTroIGFBP5b-δHBM, suppressed these facilitation effects. Moreover, the in vivo antibacterial ability of TroIGFBP5b was suppressed and the effects of promoting expression of proinflammatory cytokines in immune tissues were nearly lost after HBM deletion. Furthermore, TroIGFBP5b induced NF-κβ promoter activity and promoted nuclear translocation of p65, while these effects were inhibited when the HBM was deleted. Discussion Taken together, our results suggest that TroIGFBP5b plays an important role in golden pompano antibacterial immunity and activation of the NF-κβ signalling pathway, providing the first evidence that the HBM of TroIGFBP5b plays a critical role in these processes in teleosts.

Abstract
Risk factors such as dysregulation of Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling have been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Here we show that Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 5 (Igfbp5), an inhibitory binding protein for insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf-1) accumulates in hippocampal pyramidal neurons and in amyloid plaques in brains of Alzheimer patients. We investigated the pathogenic relevance of this finding with transgenic mice overexpressing Igfbp5 in pyramidal neurons of the brain. Neuronal overexpression of Igfbp5 prevents the training-induced increase of hippocampal and cortical Bdnf expression and reduces the effects of exercise on memory retention, but not on learning acquisition. Hence, elevated IGFBP5 expression could be responsible for some of the early cognitive deficits that occur during the course of Alzheimer's disease.

IGFBP5 promotes diabetic kidney disease progression by enhancing PFKFB3-mediated endothelial glycolysis. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:340.

Abstract
Renal inflammation is a critical pathophysiological characteristic of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The mechanism of the inflammatory response is complicated, and there are few effective treatments for renal inflammation that can be used clinically. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is an important secretory protein that is related to inflammation and fibrosis in several tissues. Studies have shown that the IGFBP5 level is significantly upregulated in DKD. However, the function of IGFBP5 and its mechanism in DKD remain unclear. Here, we showed that IGFBP5 levels were significantly increased in the kidneys of diabetic mice. Ablation of IGFBP5 alleviated kidney inflammation in DKD mice. Mechanistically, IGFBP5 increased glycolysis, which was characterized by increases in lactic acid and the extracellular acidification rate, by activating the transcription factor early growth response 1 (EGR1) and enhancing the expression of PFKFB3 in endothelial cells. Furthermore, a mutation in PFKFB3 attenuated renal inflammation in DKD mice. Taken together, we provided evidence that IGFBP5 enhanced kidney inflammation through metabolic reprogramming of glomerular endothelial cells. Our results provide new mechanistic insights into the effect of IGFBP5 on kidney and highlight potential therapeutic opportunities for IGFBP5 and the metabolic regulators involved in DKD. ![]()

Abstract
Aberrant insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling has been proposed as a contributing factor to the development of neurodegenerative disorders including diabetic neuropathy, and delivery of exogenous IGF-1 has been explored as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the role of autocrine/paracrine IGF-1 in neuroprotection has not been well established. We therefore used in vitro cell culture systems and animal models of diabetic neuropathy to characterize endogenous IGF-1 in sensory neurons and determine the factors regulating IGF-1 expression and/or affecting neuronal health. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) and in situ hybridization analyses revealed high expression of endogenous IGF-1 in non-peptidergic neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) of dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Brain cortex and DRG had higher IGF-1 gene expression than sciatic nerve. Bidirectional transport of IGF-1 along sensory nerves was observed. Despite no difference in IGF-1 receptor levels, IGF-1 gene expression was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in liver and DRG from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic rats, Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, mice on a high-fat/ high-sugar diet and db/db type 2 diabetic mice. Hyperglycemia suppressed IGF-1 gene expression in cultured DRG neurons and this was reversed by exogenous IGF-1 or the aldose reductase inhibitor sorbinil. Transcription factors, such as NFAT1 and CEBPβ, were also less enriched at the IGF-1 promoter in DRG from diabetic rats vs control rats. CEBPβ overexpression promoted neurite outgrowth and mitochondrial respiration, both of which were blunted by knocking down or blocking IGF-1. Suppression of endogenous IGF-1 in diabetes may contribute to neuropathy and its upregulation at the transcriptional level by CEBPβ can be a promising therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Chronic denervation is one of the key factors that affect nerve regeneration. Chronic axotomy deteriorates the distal nerve stump, causes protein changes, and renders the microenvironment less permissive for regeneration. Some of these factors/proteins have been individually studied. To better delineate the comprehensive protein expression profiles and identify proteins that contribute to or are associated with this detrimental effect, we carried out a proteomic analysis of the distal nerve using an established delayed rat sciatic nerve repair model. Four rats that received immediate repair after sciatic nerve transection served as control, whereas four rats in the experimental group (chronic denervation) had their sciatic nerve repaired after a 12-week delay. All the rats were sacrificed after 16 weeks to harvest the distal nerves for extracting proteins. Twenty-five micrograms of protein from each sample were fractionated in SDS-PAGE gels. NanoLC-MS/MS analysis was applied to the gels. Protein expression levels of nerves on the surgery side were compared to those on the contralateral side. Any protein with a P value of less than 0.05 and a fold change of 4 or higher was deemed differentially expressed. All the differentially expressed proteins in both groups were further stratified according to the biological processes. A PubMed search was also conducted to identify the differentially expressed proteins that have been reported to be either beneficial or detrimental to nerve regeneration. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software was used for pathway analysis. The results showed that 709 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the delayed repair group, with a bigger proportion of immune and inflammatory process-related proteins and a smaller proportion of proteins related to axon regeneration and lipid metabolism in comparison to the control group where 478 differentially expressed proteins were identified. The experimental group also had more beneficial proteins that were downregulated and more detrimental proteins that were upregulated. IPA revealed that protective pathways such as LXR/RXR, acute phase response, RAC, ERK/MAPK, CNTF, IL-6, and FGF signaling were inhibited in the delayed repair group, whereas three detrimental pathways, including the complement system, PTEN, and apoptosis signaling, were activated. An available database of the adult rodent sciatic nerve was used to assign protein changes to specific cell types. The poor regeneration seen in the delayed repair group could be associated with the down-regulation of beneficial proteins and up-regulation of detrimental proteins. The proteins and pathways identified in this study may offer clues for future studies to identify therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects one in four Saudi women and is associated with high risks of cardiovascular diseases in both the mother and foetus. It is believed that endothelial cells (ECs) dysfunction initiates these diabetic complications. In this study, differences in the transcriptome profiles, cell cycle distribution, and mitochondrial superoxide (MTS) between human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from GDM patients and those from healthy (control) subjects were analysed. Transcriptome profiles were generated using high-density expression microarray. The selected four altered genes were validated using qRT-PCR. MTS and cell cycle were analysed by flow cytometry. A total of 84 altered genes were identified, comprising 52 upregulated and 32 downregulated genes in GDM.HUVECs. Our selection of the four interested altered genes (TGFB2, KITLG, NEK7, and IGFBP5) was based on the functional network analysis, which revealed that these altered genes are belonging to the highest enrichment score associated with cellular function and proliferation; all of which may contribute to ECs dysfunction. The cell cycle revealed an increased percentage of cells in the G2/M phase in GDM.HUVECs, indicating cell cycle arrest. In addition, we found that GDM.HUVECs had increased MTS generation. In conclusion, GDM induces persistent impairment of the biological functions of foetal ECs, as evidenced by analyses of transcriptome profiles, cell cycle, and MTS even after ECs culture in vitro for several passages under normal glucose conditions.

Abstract
The induction of nerve injury response genes in Schwann cells depends on both transcriptional and epigenomic reprogramming. The nerve injury response program is regulated by the repressive histone mark H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), deposited by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Loss of PRC2 function leads to early and augmented induction of the injury response gene network in peripheral nerves, suggesting H3K27 demethylases are required for derepression of Polycomb-regulated nerve injury genes. To determine the function of H3K27 demethylases in nerve injury, we generated Schwann cell-specific knockouts of H3K27 demethylase Kdm6b and double knockouts of Kdm6b/Kdm6a (encoding JMJD3 and UTX). We found that H3K27 demethylases are largely dispensable for Schwann cell development and myelination. In testing the function of H3K27 demethylases after injury, we found early induction of some nerve injury genes was diminished compared with control, but most injury genes were largely unaffected at 1 and 7 days post injury. Although it was proposed that H3K27 demethylases are required to activate expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Cdkn2a in response to injury, Schwann cell-specific deletion of H3K27 demethylases affected neither the expression of this gene nor Schwann cell proliferation after nerve injury. To further characterize the regulation of nerve injury response genes, we found that injury genes are associated with repressive histone H2AK119 ubiquitination catalyzed by PRC1, which declines after injury. Overall, our results indicate H3K27 demethylation is not required for induction of injury response genes and that other mechanisms likely are involved in activating Polycomb-repressed injury genes in peripheral nerve.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system comprises ligands of IGF-I/II, IGF receptors (IGFR), IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), and IGFBP hydrolases. The IGF system plays multiple roles during various disease development as IGFs are widely involved in cell proliferation and differentiation through regulating DNA transcription. Meanwhile, IGFBPs, which are mainly synthesized in the liver, can bind to IGFs and perform two different functions: either inhibition of IGFs by forming inactive compounds with IGF or enhancement of the function of IGFs by strengthening the IGF-IGFR interaction. Interestingly, IGFBPs may have wider functions through IGF-independent mechanisms. Studies have shown that IGFBPs play important roles in cardiovascular disease, tumor progression, fetal growth, and neuro-nutrition. In this review, we emphasize that different IGFBP family members have common or unique functions in numerous diseases; moreover, IGFBPs may serve as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prediction.

Sensory laryngeal neuropathy(SLN) is a kind of peripheral neuropathy presenting globus pharyngeus, chronic cough, increased mucus, dry throat, sore throat, frequent clearing of the throat, etc. When the sensory nerve of the larynx is affected by chemical, biological, mechanical or nutritional factors. Because of its nonspecific signs and symptoms, SLN is easy to be misdiagnosed as chronic pharyngitis or laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. SLN was came up to ENT physician in recent years and there are rare systematic reports currently, therefore, this review aims to summarize the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of SLN, to raise awareness of this disease among our colleagues.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling is regulated by a conserved family of IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in vertebrates. Among the six distinct types of IGFBPs, IGFBP-5 is the most highly conserved across species and has the broadest range of biological activities. IGFBP-5 is expressed in diverse cell types, and its expression level is regulated by a variety of signaling pathways in different contexts. IGFBP-5 can exert a range of biological actions including prolonging the half-life of IGFs in the circulation, inhibition of IGF signaling by competing with the IGF-1 receptor for ligand binding, concentrating IGFs in certain cells and tissues, and potentiation of IGF signaling by delivery of IGFs to the IGF-1 receptor. IGFBP-5 also has IGF-independent activities and is even detected in the nucleus. Its broad biological activities make IGFBP-5 an excellent representative for understanding IGFBP functions. Despite its evolutionary conservation and numerous biological activities, knockout of IGFBP-5 in mice produced only a negligible phenotype. Recent research has begun to explain this paradox by demonstrating cell type-specific and physiological/pathological context-dependent roles for IGFBP-5. In this review, we survey and discuss what is currently known about IGFBP-5 in normal physiology and human disease. Based on recent in vivo genetic evidence, we suggest that IGFBP-5 is a multifunctional protein with the ability to act as a molecular switch to conditionally regulate IGF signaling.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia-induced toxicity of neurons contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic neuropathy (DNP). High concentration glucose triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and induced cell apoptosis of neurons from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in vitro. Currently, there is no effective therapeutic method to retard this devastating complication or neurotoxicity induced by high glucose. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has multi-neurotrophic actions which need to be explored regarding its actions and mechanisms on relieving high glucose induced neurotoxicity. Herein, high concentration glucose was exposed to the DRG neurons in vitro. The effects of IGF-1 on relieving high glucose-induced neurotoxicity were evaluated. We illustrated that IGF-1 enhanced regeneration of neurites sent from DRG neuronal cell bodies and increased neuronal viability which inhibited by high glucose challenge. IGF-1 alleviated neuronal apoptosis caused by high glucose exposure. IGF-1 also suppressed the intracellular ROS overproduction and ATF3 expression upregulation which was induced by high glucose insult. The anti-neurotoxic effects of IGF-1 might be through restoration of prosurvival PI3K/Akt/S6K signaling. These data shed some light on the treatment of intractable DNP and suggested that IGF-1 might be a potential effective agent on relieving high glucose induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but any treatment toward the development of DPN is not yet available. Axon degeneration is an early feature of many peripheral neuropathies, including DPN. Delay of axon degeneration has beneficial effects on various neurodegenerative diseases, but its effect on DPN is yet to be elucidated. Deficiency of Sarm1 significantly attenuates axon degeneration in several models, but the effect of Sarm1 deficiency on DPN is still unclear. In this study, we show that Sarm1 knockout mice exhibit normal glucose metabolism and pain sensitivity, and deletion of the Sarm1 gene alleviates hypoalgesia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Moreover, Sarm1 gene deficiency attenuates intraepidermal nerve fiber loss in footpad skin; alleviates axon degeneration, the change of g-ratio in sciatic nerves, and NAD+ decrease; and relieves axonal outgrowth retardation of dorsal root ganglia from diabetic mice. In addition, Sarm1 gene deficiency markedly diminishes the changes of gene expression profile induced by streptozotocin in the sciatic nerve, especially some abundant genes involved in neurodegenerative diseases. These findings demonstrate that Sarm1 gene deficiency attenuates DPN in mice and suggest that slowing down axon degeneration is a potential promising strategy to combat DPN.

Abstract
The associations of 4 proteins-AK4, ITPK1, HSPB2, and IGFBP5-with cognitive function in older adults were largely unexplained by known brain pathologies. We examined the extent to which individual protein associations with cognitive decline were attributable to microstructural changes in the brain. This study included 521 participants (mean age 90.3, 65.9-108.3) with the postmortem reciprocal of transverse relaxation time (R2) magnetic resonance image. All participants came from one of the 2 ongoing longitudinal cohorts of aging and dementia, the Religious Orders Study and Rush Memory and Aging Project. Higher abundance of AK4, HSPB2, and IGFBP5 was associated with faster cognitive decline and mediated through lower postmortem R2 in the frontal and temporal white matter regions. In contrast, higher abundance of ITPK1 was associated with slower cognitive decline and mediated through higher postmortem R2 in the frontal and temporal white matter regions. The associations of 4 proteins-AK4, ITPK1, IGFBP5, and HSPB2-with cognition in late life were explained via microstructural changes in the brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) affects approximately half of diabetic patients leading to significant morbidity. There is impaired neurotrophic growth factor signaling, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity and mitochondrial function in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that sub-optimal insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling in diabetes drives loss of AMPK activity and mitochondrial function, both contributing to development of DSPN. METHODS Age-matched control Sprague-Dawley rats and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic rats with/without IGF-1 therapy were used for in vivo studies. For in vitro studies, DRG neurons from control and STZ-diabetic rats were cultured and treated with/without IGF-1 in the presence or absence of inhibitors or siRNAs. RESULTS Dysregulation of mRNAs for IGF-1, AMPKα2, ATP5a1 (subunit of ATPase), and PGC-1β occurred in DRG of diabetic vs. control rats. IGF-1 up-regulated mRNA levels of these genes in cultured DRGs from control or diabetic rats. IGF-1 treatment of DRG cultures significantly (P < 0.05) increased phosphorylation of Akt, P70S6K, AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Mitochondrial gene expression and oxygen consumption rate (spare respiratory capacity), ATP production, mtDNA/nDNA ratio and neurite outgrowth were augmented (P < 0.05). AMPK inhibitor, Compound C, or AMPKα1-specific siRNA suppressed IGF-1 elevation of mitochondrial function, mtDNA and neurite outgrowth. Diabetic rats treated with IGF-1 exhibited reversal of thermal hypoalgesia and, in a separate study, reversed the deficit in corneal nerve profiles. In diabetic rats, IGF-1 elevated the levels of AMPK and P70S6K phosphorylation, raised Complex IV-MTCO1 and Complex V-ATP5a protein expression, and restored the enzyme activities of Complex IV and I in the DRG. IGF-1 prevented TCA metabolite build-up in nerve. CONCLUSIONS In DRG neuron cultures IGF-1 signals via AMPK to elevate mitochondrial function and drive axonal outgrowth. We propose that this signaling axis mediates IGF-1-dependent protection from distal dying-back of fibers in diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous gene expression analysis identified a network of coexpressed genes that is associated with β-amyloid neuropathology and cognitive decline in older adults. The current work targeted influential genes in this network with quantitative proteomics to identify potential novel therapeutic targets. METHODS Data came from 834 community-based older persons who were followed annually, died, and underwent brain autopsy. Uniform structured postmortem evaluations assessed the burden of β-amyloid and other common age-related neuropathologies. Selected reaction monitoring quantified cortical protein abundance of 12 genes prioritized from a molecular network of aging human brain that is implicated in Alzheimer's dementia. Regression and linear mixed models examined the protein associations with β-amyloid load and other neuropathological indices as well as cognitive decline over multiple years preceding death. RESULTS Average age at death was 88.6 years. Overall, 349 participants (41.9%) had Alzheimer's dementia at death. A higher level of PLXNB1 abundance was associated with more β-amyloid load (p = 1.0 × 10-7 ) and higher PHFtau tangle density (p = 2.3 × 10-7 ), and the association of PLXNB1 with cognitive decline is mediated by these known Alzheimer's disease pathologies. On the other hand, higher IGFBP5, HSPB2, and AK4 and lower ITPK1 levels were associated with faster cognitive decline, and, unlike PLXNB1, these associations were not fully explained by common neuropathological indices, suggesting novel mechanisms leading to cognitive decline. INTERPRETATION Using targeted proteomics, this work identified cortical proteins involved in Alzheimer's dementia and begins to dissect two different molecular pathways: one affecting β-amyloid deposition and another affecting resilience without a known pathological footprint.

Abstract
We performed integrative analysis of genes associated with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) associated complications by automated text mining with manual curation and also gene expression analysis from Gene Expression Omnibus. They were analysed for pathogenic or protective role, trends, interaction with risk factors, Gene Ontology enrichment and tissue wise differential expression. The database T2DiACoD houses 650 genes, and 34 microRNAs associated with T2DM complications. Seven genes AGER, TNFRSF11B, CRK, PON1, ADIPOQ, CRP and NOS3 are associated with all 5 complications. Several genes are studied in multiple years in all complications with high proportion in cardiovascular (75.8%) and atherosclerosis (51.3%). T2DM Patients' skeletal muscle tissues showed high fold change in differentially expressed genes. Among the differentially expressed genes, VEGFA is associated with several complications of T2DM. A few genes ACE2, ADCYAP1, HDAC4, NCF1, NFE2L2, OSM, SMAD1, TGFB1, BDNF, SYVN1, TXNIP, CD36, CYP2J2, NLRP3 with details of protective role are catalogued. Obesity is clearly a dominant risk factor interacting with the genes of T2DM complications followed by inflammation, diet and stress to variable extents. This information emerging from the integrative approach used in this work could benefit further therapeutic approaches. The T2DiACoD is available at www.http://t2diacod.igib.res.in/ .

Abstract
The peripheral nervous system is one of several organ systems that are profoundly affected in diabetes. The longstanding view is that insulin does not have a major role in modulating neuronal function in both central and peripheral nervous systems is now being challenged. In the setting of insulin deficiency or excess insulin, it is logical to propose that insulin dysregulation can contribute to neuropathic changes in sensory neurons. This is particularly important as sensory nerve damage associated with prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes is so prevalent. Here, we discuss the current experimental literature related to insulin's role as a potential neurotrophic factor in peripheral nerve function, as well as the possibility that insulin deficiency plays a role in diabetic neuropathy. In addition, we discuss how sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system respond to insulin similar to other insulin-sensitive tissues. Moreover, studies now suggest that sensory neurons can also become insulin resistant like other tissues. Collectively, emerging studies are revealing that insulin signaling pathways are active contributors to sensory nerve modulation, and this review highlights this novel activity and should provide new insight into insulin's role in both peripheral and central nervous system diseases.
