Abstract
The highly selective magnesium transporter non-imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome region protein 2 (NIPA2) has recently been associated with the development and progression of type 2 diabetes osteoporosis, but the mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. Because mitophagy is involved in the pathology of type 2 diabetes osteoporosis, the present study aimed to explore the relationship among NIPA2, mitophagy and osteoblast osteogenic capacity. NIPA2 expression was reduced in C57BKS background db/db mice and in vitro models of type 2 diabetes osteoporosis, and the activation of mitophagy in primary culture osteoblast-derived from db/db mice and in high glucose-treated human fetal osteoblastic cells (hFOB1.19) was observed. Knockdown, overexpression of NIPA2 and pharmacological inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) showed that NIPA2 increased osteoblast function, which was likely regulated by PTEN induced kinase 1 (PINK1)/E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2 (Parkin)-mediated mitophagy via the PGC-1α/forkhead box O3a(FoxO3a)/mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) pathway. Furthermore, the negative effect of mitophagy on osteoblast function was confirmed by pharmacological regulation of mitophagy and knockdown of Parkin. Taken together, these results suggest that NIPA2 positively regulates the osteogenic capacity of osteoblasts via the mitophagy pathway in type 2 diabetes.

Zinc supplementation inhibits the high glucose‑induced EMT of peritoneal mesothelial cells by activating the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. Mol Med Rep 2019; 20:655-663. [PMID: 31115566 PMCID: PMC6580007 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2019.10260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2018] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The high glucose (HG)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) serves an important role in peritoneal fibrosis (PF) during peritoneal dialysis. Our previous study reported that zinc (Zn) supplementation prevented the HG-induced EMT of rat PMCs in vitro. In the present study, the role of Zn in HG-induced EMT was investigated in vivo using a rat model of PF. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms underlying HG-induced EMT were studied in human PMCs (HPMCs). In the rat model of PF, HG treatment increased the glucose transfer capacity and decreased the ultrafiltration volume. Histopathological analysis revealed peritoneal thickening, increased expression of vimentin and decreased expression of E-cadherin. ZnSO4 significantly ameliorated the aforementioned changes, whereas Zn inhibition by clioquinol significantly aggravated the effects of HG on rats. The effects of Zn on HPMCs was assessed using western blot analysis, Transwell assays and flow cytometry. It was revealed that Zn also significantly suppressed the extent of the EMT, and reduced reactive oxygen species production and the migratory ability of HG-induced HPMCs, whereas Zn inhibition by N',N',N',N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine significantly potentiated the HG-induced EMT of HPMCs. HG-stimulated HPMCs exhibited increased expression of nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) in the nucleus, and total cellular NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), the target proteins of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. Zn supplementation further promoted nuclear Nrf2 expression, and increased the expression of target proteins of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, whereas Zn depletion decreased nuclear Nrf2, NQO1 and HO-1 expression compared with the HG group. In conclusion, Zn supplementation was proposed to suppress the effects of HG on the EMT by stimulating the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and subsequently reducing oxidative stress in PMCs.

Hyperglycemia Promotes the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Pancreatic Cancer via Hydrogen Peroxide. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2016; 2016:5190314. [PMID: 27433288 PMCID: PMC4940572 DOI: 10.1155/2016/5190314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2016] [Revised: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/21/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and pancreatic cancer are intimately related, as approximately 85% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have impaired glucose tolerance or even DM. Our previous studies have indicated that high glucose could promote the invasive and migratory abilities of pancreatic cancer cells. We therefore explored the underlying mechanism that hyperglycemia modulates the metastatic potential of pancreatic cancer. Our data showed that streptozotocin- (STZ-) treated diabetic nude mice exhibit larger tumor size than that of the euglycemic mice. The number of nude mice that develop liver metastasis or ascites is much more in the STZ-treated group than that in the euglycemic group. Hyperglycemic mice contain a higher plasma H2O2-level than that from euglycemic mice. The injection of polyethylene glycol-conjugated catalase (PEG-CAT), an H2O2 scavenger, may reverse hyperglycemia-induced tumor metastasis. In addition, hyperglycemia could also modulate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition- (EMT-) related factors in pancreatic tumor tissues, as the E-cadherin level is decreased and the expression of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin and vimentin as well as transcription factor snail is strongly increased. The injection of PEG-CAT could also reverse hyperglycemia-induced EMT. These results suggest that the association between hyperglycemia and poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer can be attributed to the alterations of EMT through the production of hydrogen peroxide.
