Abstract
OVERVIEW Delayed tendon healing is a significant clinical challenge for those with diabetes. We explored the role of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), a protein modification present at elevated levels in serum of individuals with diabetes, on injured and intact tendons using a mouse model. Cell proliferation following tissue injury is a vital component of healing. Based on our previous work demonstrating that AGEs limit cell proliferation, we proposed that AGEs are responsible for the delayed healing process commonly observed in diabetic patients. Further, in pursuit of interventional strategies, we suggested that moderate treadmill exercise may support a healing environment in the presence of AGEs as exercise has been shown to stimulate cell proliferation in tendon tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice began receiving daily intraperitoneal injections of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-Control or AGE-BSA injections (200μg/ml) at 16-weeks of age. A tendon injury was created in the central third of both patellar tendons. Animals assigned to an exercise group began a moderate treadmill protocol one week following injury. The intact Achilles tendon and soleus muscle were also evaluated to assess the effect of BSA and AGE-BSA on un-injured muscle and tendon. RESULTS We demonstrate that our injection dosing and schedule lead to an increase in serum AGEs. Our findings imply that AGEs indeed modulate gene expression following a patellar tendon injury and have modest effects on gene expression in intact muscle and tendon. CONCLUSIONS While additional biomechanical analysis is warranted, these data suggest that elevated serum AGEs in persons with diabetes may impact tendon health.

Enríquez J, Sosa-Larios T, Díaz-Díaz E, Morimoto S. The potent contraceptive gestodene exerts insulinotropic effects through its a-ring reduced metabolites with intrinsic estrogen-like activity in pancreatic β-cells. J Endocrinol Invest 2023:10.1007/s40618-022-01977-2. [PMID: 36705838 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-022-01977-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The contraceptive gestodene is a potent synthetic progestin used in several low-dose contraceptive formulations. Clinical studies reported a relationship between long-term use of combined oral contraceptives containing gestodene (GDN) and profound alterations in glucose metabolism in women. The observation that contraceptive synthetic progestins exert hormone-like effects other than their progestational activities, prompted us to investigate whether GDN may induce estrogen-like effects, even though GDN does not interact with estrogen receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate whether GDN affect pancreatic β-cell activity, directly or through its conversion to other bioactive metabolites. METHODS The effects of GDN and its two derivatives 3β,5α-tetrahydro-GDN and 3α,5α-tetrahydro-GDN on insulin 2 (Ins II) and glucokinase (Gk) expression and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion were determined in pancreatic islets from female rats. RESULTS Gestodene did exert significant effects on islet β-cells activity. The most striking finding was that 3β,5α-tetrahydro-GDN and 3α,5α-tetrahydro-GDN had greater stimulatory effects on Ins II and Gk expression than that observed with GDN, consistent with their effects on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The effects on gene expression induced by GDN-derivatives were abolished by ICI 182,780 and MPP. In addition, the presence of inhibitors of androgen and progestin-metabolizing enzymes eliminated gene expression induced by GDN. These results indicated that GDN is metabolized to A-ring reduced metabolites with estrogen-like activities and through this mechanism, GDN may affect β-cell activity. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, the data suggest that 19-nortestosterone-derived contraceptives such as GDN, possess insulinotropic effects through their conversion into metabolites with intrinsic estrogen-like activity in pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract
Background According to epidemiological evidence, people with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer. Objective To examine the relationship between colorectal cancer (CRC) and serum levels of IGF-1, IGF-1R, AGEs,RAGE and sRAGE in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods By using RNA-Seq data of CRC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we divided the patients into normal group(58 patients)and tumor group(446 patients), and analyzed the expression and prognostic value analysis of IGF-1,IGF1R and RAGE. Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to determine the predictive value of target gene on clinical outcomes in CRC patients. In order to further combine CRC with diabetes research,one hundred forty-eight patients hospitalized in the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University from July 2021 to July 2022 were enrolled and divided into CA and control groups. There were 106 patients in the CA group, including 75 patients with CRC and 31 patients with CRC+T2DM; the control group comprised 42 patients with T2DM. Circulating levels of IGF-1, IGF-1R, AGEs, RAGE, and sRAGE in the serum of the patients were measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbnent Assay (ELISA) kits, and other clinical parameters were also measured during hospitalization. Statistical methods used were χ² test, independent samples t-test and Pearson correlation analysis were. Finally, we controlled for confounding factors and used logistic multi-factor regression analysis. Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that IGF-1, IGF1R and RAGE were highly expressed in CRC patients, and the patients with high expression also showed significantly lower overall survival rate. Through Cox regression analysis, IGF-1 can be used as an independent influencing factor of CRC. In the ELISA experiment, serum AGE, RAGE, IGF-1, and IGF-1R levels were higher in the CRC and CRC+T2DM groups than in the T2DM group, but the serum sRAGE concentrations in these groups were lower than those in the T2DM group (P < 0.05). Serum AGE, RAGE, sRAGE, IGF1, and IGF1R levels were higher in the CRC+T2DM group than in the CRC group (P < 0.05). In CRC+T2DM patients, serum AGEs were correlated with age (p = 0.027), and the serum AGE levels in these groups were positively correlated with RAGE and IGF-1 levels (p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with sRAGE and IGF-1R levels (p < 0.001). After correcting for confounding factors based on logistic multiple regression analysis, the effects of age, serum IGF-1 and IGF-1R on the development of CRC in patients with T2DM were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion Serum IGF-1 and IGF-1R levels independently influenced the development of CRC in patients with T2DM. Furthermore, IGF-1 and IGF-1R were correlated with AGEs in CRC patients who also had T2DM, suggesting that AGEs may influence the development of CRC in T2DM patients. These findings suggest that we may be able to lower the risk of CRC in the clinic by regulating AGEs through the regulation of blood glucose levels, which will affect IGF-1 and its receptors.

Maternal perinatal exposure to bisphenol S induces an estrogenic like effect in glucose homeostasis in male offspring. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2022; 37:2189-2200.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) has been introduced into the industry as a safer alternative to bisphenol A (BPA). However, the recent studies have reported a possible association between BPS and disturbed glucose homeostasis, indicating that it may be a risk factor for type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, the role of BPS in glucose metabolism remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the glucose metabolism of male Wistar rats born from dams that were BPS-exposed (groups: BPS-L (0.05 mg/kg/day), BPS-H (20 mg/kg/day)) during pregnancy and lactation. We observed that both BPS treated groups of animals presented a significant decrease in anogenital distance/weight1/3 , as compared to control animals, although no alterations in testosterone levels were observed. Furthermore, the BPS-L group presented a significant decrease in body weight from postnatal day (PND) 21 to adult stage. In addition, a significant increase in glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cell proliferation, the frequency of small islets, and the average β-cell size at PND 36 was observed in this group. However, no changes in insulin serum levels and percentage of β-cells were recorded. Furthermore, these changes were not preserved at the adult stage (PND 120). The results suggest that the administration of low doses of BPS during the perinatal period induced an estrogenic like effect, with males apparently becoming more female-like in their responses to a glucose challenge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes-induced chronic hyperglycemia results in the formation and aggregation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are products of non-enzymatic glycosylation of lipids or proteins. The development of diabetic complications can be accelerated by AGEs. In the current study, we aimed to explore the relationship between AGEs levels and ABC goals of diabetes control (A: Hemoglobin A1C < 7.0%, B: Blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg, and C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL] < 100 mg/dL). METHODS In the current cross-sectional study, 293 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), were enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the individuals were collected. AGEs levels were measured using quantitative fluorescence spectroscopy. Finally, the association of AGEs levels with patients' characteristics and ABC goals was assessed. RESULTS Higher serum AGEs concentration was detected in older age, smoking patients and those with higher diastolic blood pressure, lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level, lower body mass index (BMI) and retinopathy. Moreover, the T2D patients who achieved higher numbers of ABC goals of diabetes were younger age (P-value = 0.003), with lower hemoglobin A1C (P-value = 0.001), fasting blood sugar (P-value = 0.002) diastolic blood pressure (P-value = 0.001), systolic blood pressure (P-value = 0.001), cholesterol (P-value = 0.001), LDL (P-value = 0.001), and AGEs (P-value = 0.023) levels. Diabetic patients with AGEs levels above 73.9% were about 2.2 times more likely to achieve none of ABC treatment goals (95% CI 1.107-3.616). CONCLUSION Our results revealed the relationship between AGEs and ABC goal achievement, and microvascular diabetic complications, and imply that AGEs measurement may be valuable in the monitoring of diabetic patients' complications and treatment adjustment.

Abstract
The infection with SARS-CoV-2 impairs the glucose−insulin axis and this contributes to oxidative (OS) and nitrosative (NSS) stress. Here, we evaluated changes in glucose metabolism that could promote the loss of redox homeostasis in COVID-19 patients. This was comparative cohort and analytical study that compared COVID-19 patients and healthy subjects. The study population consisted of 61 COVID-19 patients with and without comorbidities and 25 healthy subjects (HS). In all subjects the plasma glucose, insulin, 8-isoprostane, Vitamin D, H2S and 3-nitrotyrosine were determined by ELISA. The nitrites (NO2−), lipid-peroxidation (LPO), total-antioxidant-capacity (TAC), thiols, glutathione (GSH) and selenium (Se) were determined by spectrophotometry. The glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR (p < 0.001), 8-isoprostanes, 3-nitrotyrosine (p < 0.001) and LPO were increased (p = 0.02) while Vitamin D (p = 0.01), H2S, thiols, TAC, GSH and Se (p < 0.001) decreased in COVID-19 patients in comparison to HS. The SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in alterations in the glucose−insulin axis that led to hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and IR in patients with and without comorbidities. These alterations increase OS and NSS reflected in increases or decreases in some oxidative markers in plasma with major impact or fatal consequences in patients that course with metabolic syndrome. Moreover, subjects without comorbidities could have long-term alterations in the redox homeostasis after infection.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This was a prospective cross-sectional study. One-hundred and four consecutive patients with DM2 were given lateral lumbar X-rays in order to quantify abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). Circulating levels of AGEs and classical cardiovascular risk factors were determined. Clinical history was also registered. Patients with higher AGEs values had higher grades of aortic calcification and higher numbers of diabetic-related complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being older, male and having high levels of AGEs and triglycerides were the independent risk factors associated to moderate-severe AAC when compared to no-mild AAC. Our results suggest that AGEs plays a role in the pathogenesis of aortic calcifications. In addition, the measurement of AGEs levels may be useful for assessing the severity of AAC in the setting of diabetic complications.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aims to examine the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in the kidney tissues of rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into three equal experiment groups: the AGE group, the RSA group, and the control group. The rats in the AGE group and the RSA group were administered with advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and rat serum albumin (RSA) via the tail vein, respectively, whereas the control group received PBS. Total RNA was prepared from the rat kidney tissues, and the miRNA expression profiles in different experiment groups were compared by microarray analysis. The expression levels of selected differential miRNAs were verified by RT-qPCR. Target gene prediction was conducted using algorithms such as TargetScan, miRanda, and PICTar. Functional analysis was performed to determine the putative biological roles of the validated miRNAs. Results The microarray study revealed 451 upregulated and 320 downregulated miRNAs in the AGE group compared with the RSA group (p < 0.05). Seven miRNAs, including miR-21-5p, miR-92b-3p, miR-140-3p, miR-196a-5p, miR-181b-5p, miR-186-5p, and miR-192-5p, were screened and verified using RT-qPCR, of which, the change of miR-92b-3p was the most obvious according to the miRNA expression different multiple and p < 0.05). Seven miRNAs, including miR-21-5p, miR-92b-3p, miR-140-3p, miR-196a-5p, miR-181b-5p, miR-186-5p, and miR-192-5p, were screened and verified using RT-qPCR, of which, the change of miR-92b-3p was the most obvious according to the miRNA expression different multiple and Conclusion The results of the current study suggested that miR-92b-3p could mediate AGE-induced development of renal abnormalities through targeting Smad7 in rats with DN.

Abstract
The role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in promoting and/or exacerbating metabolic dysregulation is being increasingly recognized. AGEs are formed when reducing sugars nonenzymatically bind to proteins or lipids, a process that is enhanced by hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemic environments characteristic of numerous metabolic disorders including obesity, diabetes, and its complications. In this mini-review, we put forth the notion that AGEs span the spectrum from cause to consequence of insulin resistance and diabetes, and represent a "common soil" underlying the pathophysiology of these metabolic disorders. Collectively, the surveyed literature suggests that AGEs, both those that form endogenously as well as exogenous AGEs derived from environmental factors such as pollution, smoking, and "Western"-style diets, contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. Specifically, AGE accumulation in key metabolically relevant organs induces insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress, which in turn provide substrates for excess AGE formation, thus creating a feed-forward-fueled pathological loop mediating metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
This study evaluates the progressive participation of enzymes involved in lipolysis and lipogenesis, leading to adipocyte hypertrophy in a metabolic syndrome (MS) rat model caused by chronic consumption of 30% sucrose in drinking water. A total of 70 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: C and MS. Each of these groups were then subdivided into five groups which were sacrificed as paired groups every month from the beginning of the treatment until 5 months. The intra-abdominal fat was dissected, and the adipocytes were extracted. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), protein kinases A (PKA), and perilipin A expressions were determined. The LPL and HSL activities were evaluated by spectrophotometry. Histological staining was performed in adipose tissue. Significant increases were observed in blood pressure, HOMA-IR, leptin, triglycerides, insulin, intra-abdominal fat, and number of fat cells per field (p = 0.001) and in advanced glycosylation products, adipocyte area, LPL, HSL activities and/or expression (p ≤ 0.01) in the MS groups progressively from the third month onward. Lipogenesis and lipolysis were increased by LPL activity and HSL activity and/or expression. This was associated with hyperinsulinemia and release of non-esterified fatty acids causing a positive feedback loop that contributes to the development of adipocyte hypertrophy.

New Insights into the Process of Placentation and the Role of Oxidative Uterine Microenvironment. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:9174521. [PMID: 31341539 PMCID: PMC6615000 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9174521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
For a successful pregnancy to occur, a predecidualized receptive endometrium must be invaded by placental differentiated cells (extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs)) and, at the same time, continue decidualization. EVT invasion is aimed at anchoring the placenta to the maternal uterus and ensuring local blood supply increase necessary to provide normal placental and foetal development. The first is achieved by migrating through the maternal endometrium and deeper into the myometrium, while the second by transforming uterine spiral arteries into large vessels. This process is a tightly regulated battle comprising interests of both the mother and the foetus. Invading EVTs are required to perform a scope of functions: move, adhere, proliferate, differentiate, interact, and digest the extracellular matrix (ECM); tolerate hypoxia; transform the maternal spiral arteries; and die by apoptosis. All these functions are modulated by their surrounding microenvironment: oxygen, soluble factors (e.g., cytokines, growth factors, and hormones), ECM proteins, and reactive oxygen species. A deeper comprehension of oxidative uterine microenvironment contribution to trophoblast function will be addressed in this review.

Gokcen N, Cetinkaya Altuntas S, Coskun Benlidayi I, Sert M, Nazlican E, Sarpel T. An overlooked rheumatologic manifestation of diabetes: diabetic cheiroarthropathy. Clin Rheumatol 2019; 38:927-932. [PMID: 30712127 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-019-04454-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Revised: 01/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to analyze the clinical characteristic of diabetic cheiroarthropathy (DCA) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), type 2 DM, and prediabetes and to evaluate the frequency of DCA among groups. METHOD The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism outpatient clinic over a 14-month period. A total of 239 patients (160 female, 79 male), who had type 1 DM, type 2 DM, and prediabetes, were enrolled. The demographics, clinical variables, and laboratory outcomes were recorded. Diabetic cheiroarthropathy was defined according to physical examination. The functional disability of patients with DCA was assessed by the self-administered questionnaire (disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand-DASH). RESULTS Diabetic cheiroarthropathy was determined in 35.1% of all patients. The frequency of DCA was higher in patients with prediabetes (x2 = 0.009, post hoc power = 0.794). According to the logistic regression analysis, prediabetes (OR = 4.52, 95% CI 2.16-9.47, p < 0.001), presence of polyneuropathy (OR = 3.82, 95% CI 1.61-9.07, p = 0.002), and fasting glucose level (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, p = 0.004) found as the most effective risk factors in determining DCA. DASH disability scores were significantly higher in prediabetic patients than that in type 2 DM group (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION High frequency of DCA and impaired hand function are observed in prediabetic patients. Musculoskeletal manifestations can emerge as an early sign of diabetic status. Also, people who suffer from hand involvement should be examined for diabetes along with rheumatologic diseases.
