Abstract
Metals play an important role in the development of diabetes mellitus (DM). The association of metals with diabetes among the Dong ethnicity in China remains poorly understood. The current study aimed to evaluate the association of single metal exposure and multi-metal co-exposure with DM risk. Urinary concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, strontium, vanadium, and zinc were measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) among 4479 Dong ethnic participants aged 30-79 years from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study. Based on tertiles, the metal exposure can be divided into three groups: low, middle, and high exposure. Multivariate logistic regression models and principal component analysis were performed to determine exposure to single-metal and multi-metal co-exposure in relation to DM. A decrease in risk of DM was associated with iron (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.61-1.00 and 0.68, 0.53-0.88 for the middle and high vs. low) and strontium (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.69-1.12 and 0.67, 0.51-0.86 for the middle and high vs. low), respectively. A principal component 3 (PC3) characterized by iron and strontium showed an inverse association with DM. A principal component 4 (PC4) characterized by manganese and lead positively associated with DM. Exposure to high concentrations of urinary iron and strontium may reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus. This study revealed an increase in the risk of diabetes mellitus by co-exposure to high concentrations of urinary manganese and lead.

Gorini F, Vassalle C. Selenium and Selenoproteins at the Intersection of Type 2 Diabetes and Thyroid Pathophysiology. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11061188. [PMID: 35740085 PMCID: PMC9227825 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11061188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is considered one of the largest global public-health concerns, affecting approximately more than 400 million individuals worldwide. The pathogenesis of T2D is very complex and, among the modifiable risk factors, selenium (Se) has recently emerged as a determinant of T2D pathogenesis and progression. Selenium is considered an essential element with antioxidant properties, and is incorporated into the selenoproteins involved in the antioxidant response. Furthermore, deiodinases, the enzymes responsible for homeostasis and for controlling the activity of thyroid hormones (THs), contain Se. Given the crucial action of oxidative stress in the onset of insulin resistance (IR) and T2D, and the close connection between THs and glucose metabolism, Se may be involved in these fundamental relationships; it may cover a dual role, both as a protective factor and as a risk factor of T2D, depending on its basal plasma concentration and the individual’s diet intake. In this review we discuss the current evidence (from experimental, observational and randomized clinical studies) on how Se is associated with the occurrence of T2D and its influence on the relationship between thyroid pathophysiology, IR and T2D.

Prospective association between baseline plasma zinc concentration and development of proteinuria in Chinese hypertensive patients. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2021; 66:126755. [PMID: 33838565 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2021.126755] [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: 11/27/2020] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the association between baseline plasma zinc and the development of proteinuria as well as possible effect modifiers in hypertensive patients. METHODS This is a subset of the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT) Renal Sub-Study. In the CSPPT, participants were randomized to receive a daily oral dose of 1 tablet containing 10 mg enalapril and 0.8 mg folic acid or 1 tablet containing 10 mg enalapril only. A total of 783 participants with plasma zinc measurements and without proteinuria at baseline were included in the current study. The study outcome was the development of proteinuria during the follow-up, defined as a urine dipstick reading of trace or ≥1+ at the exit visit. RESULTS During a median follow-up duration of 4.4 years, the development of proteinuria occurred in 93 (11.9 %) participants. There was an inverse relation of baseline plasma zinc with the development of proteinuria (per SD increment; OR, 0.74, 95 % CI: 0.55-0.99), p for trend of quartiles = 0.005. CONCLUSIONS In Chinese hypertensive patients, there was a significant inverse association between baseline plasma zinc and the development of proteinuria, although plasma zinc remained in the reference range.

Xu C, Xu J, Zhang X, Xu S, Liu Q, Weng Z, Gu A. Serum nickel is associated with craniosynostosis risk: Evidence from humans and mice. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2021; 146:106289. [PMID: 33276314 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 11/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, few studies have explored the effects of exposure to metal mixtures on adverse developmental outcomes, and no reported studies have linked metal exposure to craniosynostosis (CS). The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between metal exposure and the risk of CS by conducting epidemiological and experimental studies. METHODS Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure the concentrations of 6 metals (chromium [Cr], nickel [Ni], tin [Sn], arsenic [As], thallium [Tl], and lead [Pb]) in serum samples from 174 CS patients and 85 control individuals. Non-syndromic patients with isolated sagittal suture closure were selected as the case group, and healthy children matched by sex and age were selected as controls. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models were used to account for joint metal effects. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between metal concentration and CS occurrence, with adjustment for potential confounders. During pregnancy, mice were exposed to Ni (0, 0.05, or 0.1 g/kg/day) until weaning, and the widths of the sutures and shapes of the skull were analysed by micro-CT 3D imaging and histological analysis. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with Ni (0, 0.005, or 0.05 μg/mL) for 72 h. Alkaline phosphate (ALP) staining and Alizarin red staining were performed to observe the development of osteoblasts. The expression levels of osteoblast-related genes were also detected. RESULTS A positive association between the metal mixture and CS risk was observed based on population data; the Ni group had the highest conditional posterior inclusion probability (PIP), at 0.8416, and in the fully adjusted model, the highest Ni exposure level had a more significant association with CS (coefficient = 2.65, 95% CI: 0.29, 5.02) than the lowest Ni exposure level. The mean widths of the sagittal sutures in mice were 8.8 ± 0.6 mm in the control group, 8.0 ± 0.8 mm in the 0.05 g/kg/day group and 6.8 ± 0.4 mm in the 0.1 g/kg/day group. After Ni exposure, ALP gene expression in skull tissue was increased, and ALP activity was increased in MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, increased collagen content in mouse skull sections and elevated osteocalcin (OCN) expression in MC3T3-E1 cells were observed in the Ni-treated groups compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to provide evidence that increased serum Ni was associated with an increased risk of CS. Early life exposure to Ni promoted osteogenesis during skull growth, which may contribute to the development of CS.

Co-exposure of serum calcium, selenium and vanadium is nonlinearly associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 263:128021. [PMID: 33078709 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metals play an important role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to explore the association of T2DM risk with single metal exposure and multi-metal co-exposure. METHODS A case-control study with 223 T2DM patients and 302 controls was conducted. Serum concentrations of 19 metals were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Those metals with greater effects were screened out and co-exposure effects of metals were assessed by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. RESULTS Serum calcium (Ca), selenium (Se) and vanadium (V) were found with greater effects. Higher levels of Ca and Se were associated with increased T2DM risk (OR = 2.23, 95%CI: 1.38-3.62, Ptrend = 0.002; OR = 3.16, 95%CI: 1.82-5.50, Ptrend < 0.001), but higher V level was associated with decreased T2DM risk (OR = 0.58, 95%CI: 0.34-0.97, Ptrend < 0.001). Serum Ca and V concentrations were nonlinearly associated with T2DM risk (Poverall < 0.001, Pnonliearity < 0.001); however, Se concentration was linearly associated with T2DM risk (Poverall < 0.001, Pnonliearity = 0.389). High co-exposure score of serum Ca, Se and V was associated with increased T2DM risk (OR = 3.50, 95%CI: 2.08-5.89, Ptrend < 0.001) as a non-linear relationship (Poverall < 0.001, Pnonliearity = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS This study suggest that higher levels of serum Ca and Se were associated with increased T2DM risk, but higher serum V level was associated with decreased T2DM risk. Moreover, co-exposure of serum Ca, Se and V was nonlinearly associated with T2DM risk, and high co-exposure score was positively associated with T2DM risk.
