Clin Epigenetics 2024; 16:78. [PMID: 38862980 PMCID: PMC11167878 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-024-01692-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that impairs metabolism, and its prevalence has reached an epidemic proportion globally. Most people affected are with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is caused by a decline in the numbers or functioning of pancreatic endocrine islet cells, specifically the β-cells that release insulin in sufficient quantity to overcome any insulin resistance of the metabolic tissues. Genetic and epigenetic factors have been implicated as the main contributors to the T2DM. Epigenetic modifiers, histone deacetylases (HDACs), are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histones and play an important role in a variety of molecular processes, including pancreatic cell destiny, insulin release, insulin production, insulin signalling, and glucose metabolism. HDACs also govern other regulatory processes related to diabetes, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, revealed by network and functional analysis. This review explains the current understanding of the function of HDACs in diabetic pathophysiology, the inhibitory role of various HDAC inhibitors (HDACi), and their functional importance as biomarkers and possible therapeutic targets for T2DM. While their role in T2DM is still emerging, a better understanding of the role of HDACi may be relevant in improving insulin sensitivity, protecting β-cells and reducing T2DM-associated complications, among others.

[PMID: 37758011 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction plays a vital role in the development of diabetes. IL-33 exerts anti-diabetic effects via its anti-inflammatory properties and has been demonstrated to increase insulin secretion in animal models. However, IL-33, as a pleiotropic cytokine, may also exert a deleterious effect on β-cells, which has not been rigorously studied. In the present study, we found that IL-33 promoted cell survival and insulin secretion in MIN6 (a mouse pancreatic β-cell line) cells under diabetogenic conditions. IL-33 increased the expression of its receptor ST2 and the transcription factor PPARγ, whereas PPARγ inhibition impaired IL-33-mediated β-cell survival and insulin release. IL-33 did not repress the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, including Tf, Icam1, Cxcl10, and Il1b, whereas it significantly reduced the expression of Ccl2. IL-33 decreased TNF-α secretion and increased IL-10 secretion; these effects were completely reversed by PPARγ inhibition. IL-33 increased glucose uptake and expression of Glut2. It upregulated the expression of glycolytic enzyme genes, namely, Pkm2, Hk2, Gpi1, and Tpi, and downregulated the expression of Gck, Ldha, and Mct4. However, it did not alter hexokinase activity. Moreover, IL-33 increased the number and activity of mitochondria, accompanied by increased ATP production and reduced accumulation of ROS. IL-33 upregulated the expression of PGC-1α and cytochrome c, and mitochondrial fission- and fusion-associated genes, including Mfn1, Mfn2, and Dnm1l. IL-33-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis was partially reversed by PPARγ inhibition. Altogether, IL-33 protects β-cell survival and insulin secretion that could be partially driven via PPARγ, which regulates glucose uptake and promotes mitochondrial function and anti-inflammatory responses.

Abstract
The ever-increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) represents a major public health burden worldwide. The most common form of NCD is metabolic diseases, which affect people of all ages and usually manifest their pathobiology through life-threatening cardiovascular complications. A comprehensive understanding of the pathobiology of metabolic diseases will generate novel targets for improved therapies across the common metabolic spectrum. Protein posttranslational modification (PTM) is an important term that refers to biochemical modification of specific amino acid residues in target proteins, which immensely increases the functional diversity of the proteome. The range of PTMs includes phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, neddylation, glycosylation, palmitoylation, myristoylation, prenylation, cholesterylation, glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, sulfhydration, citrullination, ADP ribosylation, and several novel PTMs. Here, we offer a comprehensive review of PTMs and their roles in common metabolic diseases and pathological consequences, including diabetes, obesity, fatty liver diseases, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Building upon this framework, we afford a through description of proteins and pathways involved in metabolic diseases by focusing on PTM-based protein modifications, showcase the pharmaceutical intervention of PTMs in preclinical studies and clinical trials, and offer future perspectives. Fundamental research defining the mechanisms whereby PTMs of proteins regulate metabolic diseases will open new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes in children and adolescents has been rising gradually, which is relevant to adverse environment during development, especially prepartum. We aimed to explore the effects of prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) on β-cell function and glucose homeostasis in juvenile offspring rats. Pregnant Wistar rats were subcutaneously administered with dexamethasone [0.1, 0.2, 0.4mg/(kg.d)] from gestational day 9 to 20. PDE impaired glucose tolerance in the male offspring rather than the females. In male offspring, PDE impaired the development and function of β-cells, accompanied with lower H3K9ac, H3K14ac and H3K27ac levels in the promoter region of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as well as suppressed ACE2 expression. Meanwhile, PDE increased expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in fetal pancreas. Dexamethasone also inhibited ACE2 expression and insulin production in vitro. Recombinant expression of ACE2 restored insulin production inhibited by dexamethasone. In addition, dexamethasone activated GR and HDAC3, increased protein interaction of GR with HDAC3, and promoted the binding of GR-HDAC3 complex to ACE2 promoter region. Both RU486 and TSA abolished dexamethasone-induced decline of histone acetylation and ACE2 expression. In summary, suppression of ACE2 is involved in PDE induced β-cell dysfunction and glucose intolerance in juvenile male offspring rats.

Abstract
A recent International Diabetes Federation report suggests that more than 463 million people between 20 and 79 years have diabetes. Of the 20 million women affected by hyperglycemia during pregnancy, 84% have gestational diabetes. In addition, more than 1.1 million children or adolescents are affected by type 1 diabetes. Factors contributing to the increase in diabetes prevalence are complex and include contributions from genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors. However, molecular regulatory mechanisms influencing the progression of an individual towards increased susceptibility to metabolic diseases such as diabetes are not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that the pathogenesis of diabetes involves epigenetic changes, resulting in a persistently dysregulated metabolic phenotype. This review summarizes the role of epigenetic mechanisms, mainly DNA methylation and histone modifications, in the development of the pancreas, their contribution to the development of diabetes, and the potential employment of epigenetic modulators in diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease associated with an oxidative milieu that often leads to adverse health outcomes. Multiple anthocyanins have been reported to possess outstanding antioxidant activity, however, their effects on hyperglycemia-related oxidative stress remain elusive. In the present study, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a typical anthocyanin with various widely accepted health benefits, was applied to alleviate oxidative stress in pancreas islets under the conditions of hyperglycemia. Firstly, significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and antioxidant enzymes, as well as increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and O2- levels, were detected after exposure to a series of concentrations of high glucose (HG) and palmitic acid (PA), which manifested oxidative stress triggered by mitochondrial damage. To evaluate the antioxidant effect of C3G in vitro, the islet cell line NIT-1 was used, and results proved that C3G could effectively relieve cellular oxidative stress induced by HG and PA. Furthermore, we found that the antioxidant effect of C3G was achieved by activating mitophagy via the PINK1-PARKIN signaling pathway. More importantly, an autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) was added to verify our findings at the protein level, and we observed the co-localization of mitochondria and lysosomes, which may form autophagolysosomes to clean damaged mitochondria. Immediately afterwards, more studies were conducted on pancreatic islets of diabetic db/db mice to verify the antioxidant effect of C3G discovered in islet cells. Along with the decline in fasting blood glucose, the oxidative stress in pancreas islets was successfully alleviated in diabetic db/db mice after supplementation with C3G. This was demonstrated by increased levels of ROS, and the impaired activities of anti-oxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were partly reversed by C3G intervention. Our study has provided evidence for the alleviation effect of C3G against oxidative stress in pancreas islets, which may provide enlightenment for improving the health situation of diabetic patients in the future.

Abstract
Genetic changes are difficult to reverse; thus, epigenetic aberrations, including changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and noncoding RNAs, with potential reversibility, have attracted attention as pharmaceutical targets. The current paradigm is that histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate gene expression via deacetylation of histone and nonhistone proteins or by forming corepressor complexes with transcription factors. The emergence of epigenetic tools related to HDACs can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic markers. HDAC inhibitors that block specific or a series of HDACs have proven to be a powerful therapeutic treatment for immune-related diseases. Here, we summarize the various roles of HDACs and HDAC inhibitors in the development and function of innate and adaptive immune cells and their implications for various diseases and therapies.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the principal manifestations of metabolic syndrome and its prevalence with modern lifestyle is increasing incessantly. Chronic hyperglycemia can induce several vascular complications that were referred to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality in DM. Although several therapeutic targets have been identified and accessed clinically, the imminent risk of DM and its prevalence are still ascending. Substantial pieces of evidence revealed that histone deacetylase (HDAC) isoforms can regulate various molecular activities in DM via epigenetic and post-translational regulation of several transcription factors. To date, 18 HDAC isoforms have been identified in mammals that were categorized into four different classes. Classes I, II, and IV are regarded as classical HDACs, which operate through a Zn-based mechanism. In contrast, class III HDACs or Sirtuins depend on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) for their molecular activity. Functionally, most of the HDAC isoforms can regulate β cell fate, insulin release, insulin expression and signaling, and glucose metabolism. Moreover, the roles of HDAC members have been implicated in the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and other pathological events, which substantially contribute to diabetes-related vascular dysfunctions. Therefore, HDACs could serve as the potential therapeutic target in DM towards developing novel intervention strategies. This review sheds light on the emerging role of HDACs/isoforms in diabetic pathophysiology and emphasized the scope of their targeting in DM for constituting novel interventional strategies for metabolic disorders/complications.

[PMID: 33293704 PMCID: PMC7722981 DOI: 10.1038/s41574-020-00443-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 256] [Impact Index Per Article: 85.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is believed to result from destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells in pancreatic islets that is mediated by autoimmune mechanisms. The classic view is that autoreactive T cells mistakenly destroy healthy ('innocent') β-cells. We propose an alternative view in which the β-cell is the key contributor to the disease. By their nature and function, β-cells are prone to biosynthetic stress with limited measures for self-defence. β-Cell stress provokes an immune attack that has considerable negative effects on the source of a vital hormone. This view would explain why immunotherapy at best delays progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus and points to opportunities to use therapies that revitalize β-cells, in combination with immune intervention strategies, to reverse the disease. We present the case that dysfunction occurs in both the immune system and β-cells, which provokes further dysfunction, and present the evidence leading to the consensus that islet autoimmunity is an essential component in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Next, we build the case for the β-cell as the trigger of an autoimmune response, supported by analogies in cancer and antitumour immunity. Finally, we synthesize a model ('connecting the dots') in which both β-cell stress and islet autoimmunity can be harnessed as targets for intervention strategies.

Inhibitory effect of polysaccharide of Sargassum weizhouense on PCV2 induced inflammation in mice by suppressing histone acetylation. Biomed Pharmacother 2019; 112:108741. [PMID: 30970528 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2019.108741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Seaweeds are excellent source of bioactive compounds and seaweed-derived polysaccharides have demonstrated an array of biological effects. Here, we investigated the effect of polysaccharide of Sargassum weizhouense (PSW) on the inflammatory response in porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infected mice and the underlying mechanism was studied according to the histone acetylation. After PCV2 infection, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1, COX-1, COX-2 and HAT in both serum and spleen were significantly increased (P <0.05). The mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and NF-κB p65 were elevated in PCV2 infected mice (P <0.05). The HDAC content in both serum and spleen as well the mRNA expression of HDAC1 were greatly decreased (P <0.05). PSW treatment dramatically inhibited the secretions of inflammatory cytokines and HATs, reduced mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and NF-κB p65, but promoted HDAC secretion and mRNA expression of HDAC1 in PCV2-infected mice. The acetylation of both H3 and H4 was significantly up-regulated in PCV2-infected mice, and strongly inhibited by PSW treatment (P <0.01). These results suggested that PCV2 mediate the equilibrium between HATs and HDACs, alternate the histone acetylation and thus DNA packaging, and then activate the transcription of inflammatory cytokines. PSW could inhibit the histone acetylation and the production of inflammatory cytokines, showing excellent potentials in improving the resistance of host against PCV2 infection.
