Int J Radiat Biol 2024:1-14. [PMID: 38180060 DOI: 10.1080/09553002.2023.2295293] [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: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The radiation protection community has been particularly attentive to the risks of delayed effects on offspring from low dose or low dose-rate exposures to ionizing radiation. Despite this, the current epidemiologic studies and scientific data are still insufficient to provide the necessary evidence for improving risk assessment guidelines. This literature review aims to inform future studies on multigenerational and transgenerational effects. It primarily focuses on animal studies involving in utero exposure and discusses crucial elements for interpreting the results. These elements include in utero exposure scenarios relative to the developmental stages of the embryo/fetus, and the primary biological mechanisms responsible for transmitting heritable or hereditary effects to future generations. The review addresses several issues within the contexts of both multigenerational and transgenerational effects, with a focus on hereditary perspectives. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge consolidation in the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) has led us to propose a new study strategy. This strategy aims to address the transgenerational effects of in utero exposure to low dose and low dose-rate radiation. Within this concept, there is a possibility that disruption of epigenetic programming in embryonic and fetal cells may occur. This disruption could lead to metabolic dysfunction, which in turn may cause abnormal responses to future environmental challenges, consequently increasing disease risk. Lastly, we discuss methodological limitations in our studies. These limitations are related to cohort size, follow-up time, model radiosensitivity, and analytical techniques. We propose scientific and analytical strategies for future research in this field.

Abstract
Fufang Zhenzhu Tiaozhi (FTZ) capsules have been prescribed for treating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, network pharmacology and experimental verification were combined to investigate the mechanisms of FTZ in treating T2DM. A total of 176 active ingredients and 1169 corresponding targets were screened using biological databases. 598 potential targets of T2DM were retrieved from GeneCards, PharmGKB, OMIM, Drugbank, and TTD. The Venn diagram was employed to identify the 194 intersection targets, which were employed to construct the "Herb-Compound-Target" interacting networks. These common targets were also used to prepare a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to uncover potential targets. The four core targets were docked to their corresponding targets for binding analysis. Additionally, the top-ranked poses of ingredients and the positive compounds from each protein were evaluated for stability using molecular dynamics. Our results suggest that core active ingredients such as kaempferol, luteolin, and baicalein have high binding affinity and stability with AKT1, PTGS2 (also known as COX-2), DPP4, and PAPRG. GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the treatment T2DM by FTZ might be related to different pathway like AMPK and EGFR pathways. The experimental validation results proved that kaempferol, luteolin, and baicalein could significantly inhibit the activity of DPP4 and COX-2, kaempferol and luteolin were also able to activate AKT and AMPK signaling pathway. This study further validated previous findings and enhanced our understanding of the potential effects of FTZ on T2DM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Gao S, Feng Q. The Beneficial Effects of Geniposide on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism: A Review. Drug Des Devel Ther 2022; 16:3365-3383.

Abstract
Geniposide is a naturally sourced active ingredient that has diverse pharmacological effects and great potential in improving or treating different kinds of diseases. In recent years, more and more studies have confirmed that geniposide can improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, which is an increasingly prevalent health problem causing various metabolic diseases globally. Our review aims to summarize basic information on the pharmacological effects of geniposide on glucolipid metabolism. Geniposide increases glucose utilization and insulin production, protects pancreatic islet β cells, inhibits insulin resistance and hepatic glucose production, and suppresses gluconeogenesis. While in the aspect of lipid metabolism, geniposide can promote lipolysis, inhibit lipogenesis, and regulate lipid transport. Geniposide ameliorates lipid and glucose metabolic disorders, improving the entire glycolipid metabolism network in a three-dimensional manner at the level of molecular mechanism. Growing evidence revealed that geniposide may serve as an effective drug to combat metabolic diseases for the time to come.

Susceptibility Loci for Type 2 Diabetes in the Ethnically Endogamous Indian Sindhi Population: A Pooled Blood Genome-Wide Association Study. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081298. [PMID: 35893037 PMCID: PMC9331904 DOI: 10.3390/genes13081298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic derangement that has a strong genetic basis. There is substantial population-specificity in the association of genetic variants with T2D. The Indian urban Sindhi population is at a high risk of T2D. The genetic basis of T2D in this population is unknown. We interrogated 28 pooled whole blood genomes of 1402 participants from the Diabetes In Sindhi Families In Nagpur (DISFIN) study using Illumina’s Global Screening Array. From a total of 608,550 biallelic variants, 140 were significantly associated with T2D after adjusting for comorbidities, batch effects, pooling error, kinship status and pooling variation in a random effects multivariable logistic regression framework. Of the 102 well-characterized genes that these variants mapped onto, 70 genes have been previously reported to be associated with T2D to varying degrees with known functional relevance. Excluding open reading frames, intergenic non-coding elements and pseudogenes, our study identified 22 novel candidate genes in the Sindhi population studied. Our study thus points to the potential, interesting candidate genes associated with T2D in an ethnically endogamous population. These candidate genes need to be fully investigated in future studies.
