Unveiling the bioinformatic genes and their involved regulatory mechanisms in type 2 diabetes combined with osteoarthritis. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1353915. [PMID: 39176085 PMCID: PMC11338775 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1353915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and Osteoarthritis (OA) are both prevalent diseases that significantly impact the health of patients. Increasing evidence suggests that there is a big correlation between T2D and OA, but the molecular mechanisms remain elusive. The aims of this study are to investigate the shared biomarkers and potential molecular mechanisms in T2D combined with OA. Methods T2D and OA-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified via bioinformatic analysis on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets GSE26168 and GSE114007 respectively. Subsequently, extensive target prediction and network analysis were finished with Gene Ontology (GO), protein-protein interaction (PPI), and pathway enrichment with DEGs. The transcription factors (TFs) and miRNAs coupled in co-expressed DEGs involved in T2D and OA were predicted as well. The key genes expressed both in the clinical tissues of T2D and OA were detected with western blot and qRT-PCR assay. Finally, the most promising candidate compounds were predicted with the Drug-Gene Interaction Database (DGIdb) and molecular docking. Results In this study, 209 shared DEGs between T2D and OA were identified. Functional analysis disclosed that these DEGs are predominantly related to ossification, regulation of leukocyte migration, extracellular matrix (ECM) structural constituents, PI3K/AKT, and Wnt signaling pathways. Further analysis via Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) analysis and validation with external datasets emphasized MMP9 and ANGPTL4 as crucial genes in both T2D and OA. Our findings were validated through qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses, which indicated high expression levels of these pivotal genes in T2D, OA, and T2D combined with OA cases. Additionally, the analysis of Transcription Factors (TFs)-miRNA interactions identified 7 TFs and one miRNA that jointly regulate these important genes. The Receiver Operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated the significant diagnostic potential of MMP9 and ANGPTL4.Moreover, we identified raloxifene, ezetimibe, and S-3304 as promising agents for patients with both T2D and OA. Conclusion This study uncovers the shared signaling pathways, biomarkers, potential therapeutics, and diagnostic models for individuals suffering from both T2D and OA. These findings not only present novel perspectives on the complex interplay between T2D and OA but also hold significant promise for improving the clinical management and prognosis of patients with this concurrent condition.

Abstract
Obesity is a leading risk factor of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that contributes to poor disease prognosis and outcomes. Retrospective studies have identified this link, but interactions surrounding obesity and PDAC are still unclear. Research has shifted to contributions of fibrosis (desmoplasia) on malignancy, which involves increased deposition of collagens and other extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and increased ECM crosslinking, all of which contribute to increased tissue stiffening. However, fibrotic stiffening is underrepresented as a model feature in current PDAC models. Fibrosis is shared between PDAC and obesity, and can be leveraged for in vitro model design, as current animal obesity models of PDAC are limited in their ability to isolate individual components of fibrosis to study cell behavior. In the current study, methacrylated type I collagen (PhotoCol®) was photo-crosslinked to pathological stiffness levels to recapitulate fibrotic ECM stiffening. PANC-1 cells were encapsulated within PhotoCol®, and the tumor-tissue constructs were prepared to represent normal (healthy) (~600 Pa) and pathological (~2000 Pa) tissues. Separately, human mesenchymal stem cells were differentiated into adipocytes representing lean (2D differentiation) and obese fat tissue (3D collagen matrix differentiation), and conditioned media was applied to PANC-1 tumor-tissue constructs. Conditioned media from obese adipocytes showed increased vimentin expression, a hallmark of invasiveness and progression, that was not seen after exposure to media from lean adipocytes or control media. Characterization of the obese adipocyte secretome suggested that some PANC-1 differences may arise from increased interleukin-8 and -10 compared to lean adipocytes. Additionally, high matrix stiffness associated induced an amoeboid morphology in PANC-1 cells that was not present at low stiffness. Amoeboid morphology is an accessory to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and is used to navigate complex ECM environments. This plasticity has greater implications for treatment efficacy of metastatic cancers. Overall, this work 1) highlights the importance of investigating PDAC-obesity interactions to study the effects on disease progression and persistence, 2) establishes PhotoCol® as a matrix material that can be leveraged to study amoeboid morphology and invasion in PDAC, and 3) emphasizes the importance of integrating both biophysical and biochemical interactions associated within both pathologies for in vitro PDAC models.

Long-Term Administration of Omeprazole-Induced Hypergastrinemia and Changed Glucose Homeostasis and Expression of Metabolism-Related Genes. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 2024:7747599.

Abstract
Introduction PPIs, or proton pump inhibitors, are the most widely prescribed drugs. There is a debate regarding the relationship between long-term PPI use and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A potential connection between T2DM and PPIs could be an elevated gastrin concentration. This study is aimed at investigating the long-term effects of PPI omeprazole (OZ) on glucose homeostasis and pancreatic gene expression profile in mice. Methods Healthy adult male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 10 in each one): (1) experimental mice that received OZ 20 mg/kg; (2) control mice that received 30 μl saline per os; (3) intact mice without any interventions. Mice were treated for 30 weeks. Glucose homeostasis was investigated by fasting blood glucose level, oral glucose tolerance test (GTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT), and basal insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Serum gastrin and insulin concentration were determined by ELISA. Expressions of Sirt1, Pparg, Nfκb1 (p105), Nfe2l2, Cxcl5, Smad3, H2a.z, and H3f3b were measured by RT-PCR. Result The ROC analysis revealed an increase in fasting blood glucose levels in OZ-treated mice in comparison with control and intact groups during the 30-week experiment. A slight but statistically significant increase in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity was observed in OZ-treated mice within 30 weeks of the experiment. The mice treated with OZ exhibited significant increases in serum insulin and gastrin levels, accompanied by a rise in the HOMA-IR level. These animals had a statistically significant increase in Sirt1, Pparg, and Cxcl5 mRNA expression. There were no differences in β-cell numbers between groups. Conclusion Long-term OZ treatment induced hypergastrin- and hyperinsulinemia and increased expression of Sirt1, Pparg, and Cxcl5 in mouse pancreatic tissues accompanied by specific changes in glucose metabolism. The mechanism of omeprazole-induced Cxcl5 mRNA expression and its association with pancreatic cancer risk should be investigated.

Mendelian Randomization Analysis Identifies Inverse Causal Relationship between External Eating and Metabolic Phenotypes. Nutrients 2024; 16:1166.

Abstract
Disordered eating contributes to weight gain, obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the precise mechanisms underlying the development of different eating patterns and connecting them to specific metabolic phenotypes remain unclear. We aimed to identify genetic variants linked to eating behaviour and investigate its causal relationships with metabolic traits using Mendelian randomization (MR). We tested associations between 30 genetic variants and eating patterns in individuals with T2D from the Volga-Ural region and investigated causal relationships between variants associated with eating patterns and various metabolic and anthropometric traits using data from the Volga-Ural population and large international consortia. We detected associations between HTR1D and CDKAL1 and external eating; between HTR2A and emotional eating; between HTR2A, NPY2R, HTR1F, HTR3A, HTR2C, CXCR2, and T2D. Further analyses in a separate group revealed significant associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the loci in CRP, ADCY3, GHRL, CDKAL1, BDNF, CHRM4, CHRM1, HTR3A, and AKT1 genes. MR results demonstrated an inverse causal relationship between external eating and glycated haemoglobin levels in the Volga-Ural sample. External eating influenced anthropometric traits such as body mass index, height, hip circumference, waist circumference, and weight in GWAS cohorts. Our findings suggest that eating patterns impact both anthropometric and metabolic traits.

Mol Med 2024; 30:21. [PMID: 38317079 PMCID: PMC10845801 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-024-00793-z] [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: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pericytes are a vital component of the blood-brain barrier, and their involvement in acute inflammation was recently suggested. However, it remains unclear whether pericytes contribute to hypothalamic chronic inflammation and energy metabolism in obesity. The present study investigated the impact of pericytes on the pathophysiology of obesity by focusing on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling, which regulates pericyte functions. METHODS Tamoxifen-inducible systemic conditional PDGF receptor β knockout mice (Pdgfrb∆SYS-KO) and Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type IIa (CaMKIIa)-positive neuron-specific PDGF receptor β knockout mice (Pdgfrb∆CaMKII-KO) were fed a high-fat diet, and metabolic phenotypes before and 3 to 4 weeks after dietary loading were examined. Intracellular energy metabolism and relevant signal transduction in lipopolysaccharide- and/or platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-stimulated human brain pericytes (HBPCs) were assessed by the Seahorse XFe24 Analyzer and Western blotting. The pericyte secretome in conditioned medium from HBPCs was studied using cytokine array kit, and its impact on polarization was examined in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), which are microglia-like cells. RESULTS Energy consumption increased and body weight gain decreased after high-fat diet loading in Pdgfrb∆SYS-KO mice. Cellular oncogene fos (cFos) expression increased in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, whereas microglial numbers and inflammatory gene expression decreased in the hypothalamus of Pdgfrb∆SYS-KO mice. No significant changes were observed in Pdgfrb∆CaMKII-KO mice. In HBPCs, a co-stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and PDGF-BB shifted intracellular metabolism towards glycolysis, activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and modulated the secretome to the inflammatory phenotype. Consequently, the secretome showed an increase in various proinflammatory chemokines and growth factors including Epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)5), Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (C-C motif chemokine (CCL)17), Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (CCL2), and Growth-regulated oncogene α (CXCL1). Furthermore, conditioned medium from HBPCs stimulated the inflammatory priming of BMDMs, and this change was abolished by the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) inhibitor. Consistently, mRNA expression of CXCL5 was elevated by lipopolysaccharide and PDGF-BB treatment in HBPCs, and the expression was significantly lower in the hypothalamus of Pdgfrb∆SYS-KO mice than in control Pdgfrbflox/flox mice (FL) following 4 weeks of HFD feeding. CONCLUSIONS PDGF receptor β signaling in hypothalamic pericytes promotes polarization of macrophages by changing their secretome and contributes to the progression of obesity.

Abstract
Individuals differ widely in their immune responses, with age, sex and genetic factors having major roles in this inherent variability1-6. However, the variables that drive such differences in cytokine secretion-a crucial component of the host response to immune challenges-remain poorly defined. Here we investigated 136 variables and identified smoking, cytomegalovirus latent infection and body mass index as major contributors to variability in cytokine response, with effects of comparable magnitudes with age, sex and genetics. We find that smoking influences both innate and adaptive immune responses. Notably, its effect on innate responses is quickly lost after smoking cessation and is specifically associated with plasma levels of CEACAM6, whereas its effect on adaptive responses persists long after individuals quit smoking and is associated with epigenetic memory. This is supported by the association of the past smoking effect on cytokine responses with DNA methylation at specific signal trans-activators and regulators of metabolism. Our findings identify three novel variables associated with cytokine secretion variability and reveal roles for smoking in the short- and long-term regulation of immune responses. These results have potential clinical implications for the risk of developing infections, cancers or autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Metabolic illnesses, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, have become worldwide epidemics that have an effect on public health. Clinical investigations and further exploration of these mechanisms could lead to innovative, effective, and personalized treatment strategies for individuals. It is important to screen biomarkers in previous studies to discover what is missing. Glucagon-like peptide-1's role in insulin secretion and glucose control highlights its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide's influence on postprandial satiety and weight management signifies its importance in understanding metabolic processes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1's involvement in inflammation and insulin resistance underlines its value as a diagnostic marker. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7's association with insulin sensitivity and kidney function presents it as a potential target for these diseases' management. In validating these biomarkers, it will be easier to reflect pathophysiological processes, and clinicians will be able to better assess disease severity, monitor disease progression, and tailor treatment strategies. The purpose of the study was to elucidate the significance of identifying novel biomarkers for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, which can revolutionize early detection, risk assessment, and personalized treatment strategies. Standard literature searches of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were conducted in the year 2023 to identify both original RCTs and recent systematic reviews that have explored the importance of identifying novel biomarkers for T2D and obesity. This search produced 1964 results, and then was reduced to randomized controlled trial and systematic reviews, producing 145 results and 44 results, respectively. Researchers have discovered potential associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity and the biomarkers glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7. Understanding the role of those biomarkers in disease pathogenesis offers hope for improving diagnostics, personalized treatment, and prevention strategies.

Abstract
Recent findings have modified our understanding of the roles of chemokine receptor CXCR2 and its ligands in cancer, inflammation, and immunity. Studies in Cxcr2 tissue-specific knockout mice show that this receptor is involved in, among other things, cancer, central nervous system (CNS) function, metabolism, reproduction, COVID-19, and the response to circadian cycles. Moreover, CXCR2 involvement in neutrophil function has been revisited not only in physiology but also for its major contribution to cancers. The recent unfolding of the role of CXCR2 in numerous cancers has led to extensive evaluation of multiple CXCR2 antagonists in preclinical and clinical studies. In this review we discuss the potential of targeting CXCR2 for cancer treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Beyond classical procedures, bioinformatic-assisted approaches and computational biology offer unprecedented opportunities for scholars. However, these amazing possibilities still need epistemological criticism, as well as standardized procedures. Especially those topics with a huge body of data may benefit from data science (DS)-assisted methods. Therefore, the current study dealt with the combined expert-assisted and DS-assisted approaches to address the broad field of muscle secretome. We aimed to apply DS tools to fix the literature research, suggest investigation targets with a data-driven approach, predict possible scenarios, and define a workflow. METHODS Recognized scholars with expertise on myokines were invited to provide a list of the most important myokines. GeneRecommender, GeneMANIA, HumanNet, and STRING were selected as DS tools. Networks were built on STRING and GeneMANIA. The outcomes of DS tools included the top 5 recommendations. Each expert-led discussion has been then integrated with an DS-led approach to provide further perspectives. RESULTS Among the results, 11 molecules had already been described as bona-fide myokines in literature, and 11 molecules were putative myokines. Most of the myokines and the putative myokines recommended by the DS tools were described as present in the cargo of extracellular vesicles. CONCLUSIONS Including both supervised and unsupervised learning methods, as well as encompassing algorithms focused on both protein interaction and gene represent a comprehensive approach to tackle complex biomedical topics. DS-assisted methods for reviewing existent evidence, recommending targets of interest, and predicting original scenarios are worth exploring as in silico recommendations to be integrated with experts' ideas for optimizing molecular studies.

CXCL5 promotes lipotoxicity of hepatocytes through upregulating NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling in Kupffer cells and exacerbates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110752.

Abstract
Immune-inflammatory responses play a key role in the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Previous studies have demonstrated that CXC motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) correlates positively with obesity and type 2 diabetes. This study is to explore the functional role of CXCL5 in the pathogenesis of NASH. To establish a NASH model, mice were fed with methionine-and choline-deficient high-fat diet for 6 weeks and anti-CXCL5 mAb was injected during the same period. An in vitro NASH model was established by treating palmitic acid (PA), using a trans-well co-culture system of mouse primary hepatocytes and Kupffer cells (KCs), and recombinant mouse (rm) CXCL5 was treated after PA administration. Our data showed that hepatic CXCL5 levels were highly expressed in the NASH mouse model. CXCL5 neutralization significantly alleviated the severity of NASH livers, demonstrated by pathological analysis, decreased biochemicals, and inflammation. Besides, neutralizing CXCL5 reduced lipid accumulation, cell death, and fibrosis in injured livers. In vitro, rmCXCL5 could not affect the activation of hepatic stellate cells. Also, rmCXCL5 exacerbated PA-induced hepatotoxicity and lipid deposition in hepatocytes co-cultured with KCs rather than in single-cultured hepatocytes. Mechanistically, rmCXCL5 not only promoted NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) expression, Cleaved caspase-1 expression, and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) secretion in single-cultured and co-cultured KCs but also increased lipid deposition in co-cultured hepatocytes. In addition, MCC950, an inhibitor of NLRP3, almost abolished the effects of rmCXCL5 on PA-treated co-culture system. Therefore, CXCL5 could exacerbate NASH by promoting lipotoxicity of hepatocytes via upregulating NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling in KCs.

Abstract
Stress-linked psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and major depressive disorder, are associated with systemic inflammation. Recent studies have reported stress-induced alterations in haematopoiesis that result in monocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphocytopenia and, consequently, in the upregulation of pro-inflammatory processes in immunologically relevant peripheral tissues. There is now evidence that this peripheral inflammation contributes to the development of psychiatric symptoms as well as to common co-morbidities of psychiatric disorders such as metabolic syndrome and immunosuppression. Here, we review the specific brain and spinal regions, and the neuronal populations within them, that respond to stress and transmit signals to peripheral tissues via the autonomic nervous system or neuroendocrine pathways to influence immunological function. We comprehensively summarize studies that have employed retrograde tracing to define neurocircuits linking the brain to the bone marrow, spleen, gut, adipose tissue and liver. Moreover, we highlight studies that have used chemogenetic or optogenetic manipulation or intracerebroventricular administration of peptide hormones to control somatic immune responses. Collectively, this growing body of literature illustrates potential mechanisms through which stress signals are conveyed from the CNS to immune cells to regulate stress-relevant behaviours and comorbid pathophysiology.

Abstract
Chemokines, by modulating inflammation process, could contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus (DM), and kidney disease. Chemokine CXC motif ligand 5 (CXCL5) is one of the inducible chemokines that may be involved in various inflammatory diseases. Given the bidirectional promiscuity characteristics of the chemokine system, the mechanistic roles of CXCL5 should be further explored in each specific disease. In this article, we sought to review the recent evidence on the differential effects of CXCL5 and their potential mechanisms in cardiovascular disease, DM, and renal disease individually. Future study is still required to verify if CXCL5 could be a novel therapeutic target in these diseases.

Abstract
Obesity is known to have important roles in driving prostate cancer aggressiveness and increased mortality. Multiple mechanisms have been postulated for these clinical observations, including effects of diet and lifestyle, systemic changes in energy balance and hormonal regulation and activation of signalling by growth factors and cytokines and other components of the immune system. Over the past decade, research on obesity has shifted towards investigating the role of peri-prostatic white adipose tissue as an important source of locally produced factors that stimulate prostate cancer progression. Cells that comprise white adipose tissue, the adipocytes and their progenitor adipose stromal cells (ASCs), which proliferate to accommodate white adipose tissue expansion in obesity, have been identified as important drivers of obesity-associated cancer progression. Accumulating evidence suggests that adipocytes are a source of lipids that are used by adjacent prostate cancer cells. However, results of preclinical studies indicate that ASCs promote tumour growth by remodelling extracellular matrix and supporting neovascularization, contributing to the recruitment of immunosuppressive cells, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition through paracrine signalling. Because epithelial-mesenchymal transition is associated with cancer chemotherapy resistance and metastasis, ASCs are considered to be potential targets of therapies that could be developed to suppress cancer aggressiveness in patients with obesity.

Abstract
Alternative polyadenylation (APA), including APA that occurs only in the 3' UTR (3' UTR-APA), is an important post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that leads to distinct 3' UTRs for some genes, increasing the complexity of the transcriptome. The post-transcriptional events regulating the expression of bovine, the C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (CXCL14) gene, remains largely unknown. Here, we find that the bovine CXCL14 gene produces two different lengths of mRNA isoforms due to 3' UTR-APA, and the short and long 3' UTR is 126 bp and 1155 bp, respectively. We found that the expression level of the short isoform was significantly higher than that of the long isoform by luciferase assays and overexpression of different CXCL14 3' UTR-APA isoforms. Moreover, using luciferase assay and site-directed mutagenesis experiments, the results showed that the long CXCL14 3' UTR-APA isoform is downregulated by miR-17-5p, miR-150, and miR-217. However, because the short isoform lacks the true target of miR-17-5p, miR-150, and miR-217 in its 3' UTR and thus escapes the inhibitory effect of these microRNAs, its expression level is significantly higher than that of the long isoform. Finally, we demonstrate that the short CXCL14 3' UTR-APA isoform promotes preadipocyte proliferation by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assays. Collectively, our results show that the CXCL14 gene is post-transcriptionally regulated through APA and microRNAs.

Abstract
Mounting experimental evidence from in vitro and in vivo animal studies points to an essential role of the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis in neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In addition, the pathogenetic involvement of neutrophils and the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis in cancer progression and metastasis is increasingly recognized. Consequently, therapeutic targeting of CXCR1/2 or CXCL8 has been intensively investigated in recent years using a wide array of in vitro and animal disease models. While a significant benefit for patients with unwanted neutrophil-mediated inflammatory conditions may be expected from a potential clinical use of inhibitors, their use in severe infections or sepsis might be problematic and should be carefully and thoroughly evaluated in animal models and clinical trials. Translating the approaches using inhibitors of the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis to cancer therapy is definitively a new and promising research avenue, which parallels the ongoing efforts to clearly define the involvement of neutrophils and the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis in neoplastic diseases. Our narrative review summarizes the current literature on the activation and inhibition of these receptors in neutrophils, key inhibitor classes for CXCR2 and the therapeutic relevance of CXCR2 inhibition focusing here on gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Adipose tissue develops lipids, aberrant adipokines, chemokines, and pro-inflammatory cytokines as a consequence of the low-grade systemic inflammation that characterizes obesity. This low-grade systemic inflammation can lead to insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic complications, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although the CXC chemokines consists of numerous regulators of inflammation, cellular function, and cellular migration, it is still unknown that how CXC chemokines and chemokine receptors contribute to the development of metabolic diseases (such as T2D and NAFLD) during obesity. In light of recent research, the objective of this review is to provide an update on the linkage between the CXC chemokine, obesity, and obesity-related metabolic diseases (T2D and NAFLD). We explore the differential migratory and immunomodulatory potential of CXC chemokines and their mechanisms of action to better understand their role in clinical and laboratory contexts. Besides that, because CXC chemokine profiling is strongly linked to leukocyte recruitment, macrophage recruitment, and immunomodulatory potential, we hypothesize that it could be used to predict the therapeutic potential for obesity and obesity-related diseases (T2D and NAFLD).

Abstract
Kupffer cells (KCs) play a key part in the pathological process of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury (ALI), the leading cause of acute liver failure in the world. CXC motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) exerts proinflammatory effects in acute respiratory distress syndrome and arthritis. In the current study, we aim to reveal the effects of CXCL5 on the activation of KCs and the role of CXCL5 in the pathogenesis of APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. The in vivo study, conducted on mice intraperitoneally injected with APAP (300 mg/kg) to establish the ALI model and then treated with Anti-CXCL5 mAb at 30 min and 12 h after the APAP challenge, showed that CXCL5 expression significantly increased in injured livers, and Anti-CXCL5 mAb mitigated the degree of APAP-evoked ALI in mice which was proven through biochemicals and histological examination. Also, neutralization of CXCL5 had no significant effect on APAP metabolism in the liver but exhibited anti-inflammatory effects and ameliorated hepatocellular death in the injured liver. The in vitro data displayed that recombinant mouse CXCL5 treatment promoted APAP-induced cellular toxicity in primary hepatocytes co-cultured with KCs, compared with single-cultured hepatocytes. Consistent with the result, we found that the Anti-CXCL5 mAb gradient decreased LPS-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines in single-cultured KCs. Therefore, CXCL5 could stimulate KCs to produce inflammatory mediators, therefore damaging hepatocytes from APAP toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 5 (CXCL5) level was observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients; however, its role in diabetic vasculopathy was not clarified. This study aimed to explore the impacts and mechanistic insights of CXCL5 in neovasculogenesis and wound healing in DM. METHODS Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were used in vitro. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice and Leprdb/JNarl mice were used as type 1 and type 2 DM models. Moreover, CXCL5 knockout mice were used to generate diabetic mice. Hindlimb ischemia surgery, aortic ring assays, matrigel plug assay, and wound healing assay were conducted. RESULTS CXCL5 concentrations were increased in plasma and EPCs culture medium from type 2 DM patients. CXCL5 neutralizing antibody upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and promoted cell function in EPCs from type 2 DM patients and high glucose-treated EPCs from non-DM subjects as well as HAECs. CXCL5 directly up-regulated interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-6/tumor necrosis factor-α and down-regulated VEGF/SDF-1 via ERK/p65 activation through chemokine C-X-C motif receptor 2 (CXCR2). CXCL5 neutralizing antibody recovered the blood flow after hindlimb ischemia, increased circulating EPC number, and enhanced VEGF and SDF-1 expression in ischemic muscle. CXCL5 suppression promoted neovascularization and wound healing in different diabetic animal models. The above observation could also be seen in streptozotocin-induced CXCL5 knockout diabetic mice. CONCLUSIONS CXCL5 suppression could improve neovascularization and wound healing through CXCR2 in DM. CXCL5 may be regarded as a potential therapeutic target for vascular complications of DM.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease clinically-characterized as acute and chronic hyperglycemia. It is emerging as one of the common conditions associated with incident liver disease in the US. The mechanism by which diabetes drives liver disease has become an intense topic of discussion and a highly sought-after therapeutic target. Insulin resistance (IR) appears early in the progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly in obese individuals. One of the co-morbid conditions of obesity-associated diabetes that is on the rise globally is referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). IR is one of a number of known and suspected mechanism that underlie the progression of NAFLD which concurrently exhibits hepatic inflammation, particularly enriched in cells of the innate arm of the immune system. In this review we focus on the known mechanisms that are suspected to play a role in the cause-effect relationship between hepatic IR and hepatic inflammation and its role in the progression of T2D-associated NAFLD. Uncoupling hepatic IR/hepatic inflammation may break an intra-hepatic vicious cycle, facilitating the attenuation or prevention of NAFLD with a concurrent restoration of physiologic glycemic control. As part of this review, we therefore also assess the potential of a number of existing and emerging therapeutic interventions that can target both conditions simultaneously as treatment options to break this cycle.

Abstract
Reproductive health is a worldwide challenge, but it is of particular significance to women during their reproductive age. Several female reproductive problems, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, affect about 10 % of women and have a negative impact on their health, fertility, and quality of life. Small, chemotactic, and secreted cytokines are CXC chemokines. Both PCOS and endometriosis demonstrate dysregulation of CXC chemokines, which are critical to the development and progression of both diseases. Recent research has shown that both in humans and animals, CXC chemokines tend to cause inflammation. It has also been found that CXC chemokines are necessary for promoting angiogenesis and inflammatory responses. CXC chemokine overexpression is frequently associated with poor survival and prognosis. CXC chemokine levels in PCOS and endometriosis patients impact their circumstances significantly. Hence, CXC chemokines have significant potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The molecular mechanisms through which CXC chemokines promote inflammation and the development of PCOS and endometriosis are currently unknown. This article will discuss the functions of CXC chemokines in the promotion, development, and therapy of PCOS and endometriosis, as well as future research directions. The current state and future prospects of CXC chemokine -based therapeutic strategies in the management of PCOS and endometriosis are also highlighted.

Abstract
This article provides a contemporary report on the role of adipose tissue in respiratory dysfunction. Adipose tissue is distributed throughout the body, accumulating beneath the skin (subcutaneous), around organs (visceral), and importantly in the context of respiratory disease, has recently been shown to accumulate within the airway wall: "airway-associated adipose tissue." Excessive adipose tissue deposition compromises respiratory function and increases the severity of diseases such as asthma. The mechanisms of respiratory impairment are inflammatory, structural, and mechanical in nature, vary depending on the anatomical site of deposition and adipose tissue subtype, and likely contribute to different phenotypes of comorbid asthma-obesity. An understanding of adipose tissue-driven pathophysiology provides an opportunity for diagnostic advancement and patient-specific treatment. As an exemplar, the potential impact of airway-associated adipose tissue is highlighted, and how this may change the management of a patient with asthma who is also obese. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder. In addition to taking medication, adjusting the composition of the diet is also considered one of the effective methods to control the levels of blood glucose. Chitosan and its derivatives are natural and versatile biomaterials with health benefits. Chitosan has the potential to alleviate diabetic hyperglycemia by reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis and increasing skeletal muscle glucose uptake and utility. Scientists also focus on the glucose-lowering effect of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS). COS supplementation has the potential to alleviate abnormal glucose metabolism in diabetic rats by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and lipid peroxidation in the liver. Both high and low molecular weight chitosan feeding reduced insulin resistance by inhibiting lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissue and ameliorating chronic inflammation in diabetic rats. COS can reduce insulin resistance but has less ability to reduce hepatic lipids in diabetic rats. A clinical trial showed that a 3-month administration of chitosan increased insulin sensitivity and decreased body weight and triglycerides in obese patients. Chitosan and COS are considered Generally Recognized as Safe; however, they are still considered to be of safety concerns. This review highlights recent advances of chitosan and its derivatives in the glucose-lowering/antidiabetic effects and the safety.

Abstract
Obesity represents an important risk factor for prostate cancer, driving more aggressive disease, chemoresistance, and increased mortality. White adipose tissue (WAT) overgrowth in obesity is central to the mechanisms that lead to these clinical observations. Adipose stromal cells (ASCs), the progenitors to mature adipocytes and other cell types in WAT, play a vital role in driving PCa aggressiveness. ASCs produce numerous factors, especially chemokines, including the chemokine CXCL12, which is involved in driving EMT and chemoresistance in PCa. A greater understanding of the impact of WAT in obesity-induced progression of PCa and the underlying mechanisms has begun to provide opportunities for developing interventional strategies for preventing or offsetting these critical events. These include weight loss regimens, therapeutic targeting of ASCs, use of calorie restriction mimetic compounds, and combinations of compounds as well as specific receptor targeting strategies.

Abstract
Chemokines have been well-documented as a major factor in immune cell migration and the regulation of immune responses. However, recent studies have reported that chemokines have diverse roles, both in immune cells and other cell types, including adipocytes. This study investigated the molecular functions of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) in white adipose cells using Cxcl5 knock-out (KO) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). The expression of Cxcl5 decreased by 90% during adipocyte differentiation and remained at a low level in mature adipocytes. Moreover, adipogenesis was enhanced when adipocytes were differentiated from the stromal vascular fraction (SFV) of Cxcl5 KO mice. Feeding an HFD increased the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promoted abnormal adipogenesis in Cxcl5 KO mice. Oxidative stress and insulin resistance occurred in Cxcl5 KO mice due to decreased antioxidant enzymes and failure to remove ROS. These results indicate the principal roles of CXCL5 in adipogenesis and ROS regulation in adipose tissue, further suggesting that CXCL5 is a valuable chemokine for metabolic disease research.

Abstract
Chemokines are a class of pro-inflammatory cytokines that can recruit and activate chemotactic cells. C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) is a member of the chemokine family binding CXCR2 (C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2), a G-protein coupled receptor. Accumulated evidence has shown that dysregulated CXCL5 participates in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis in human malignant tumors. In this review, we summarized the advances in research on CXCL5, including its dysregulation in different tumors and the mechanism associated with tumor behavior (formation of the immunosuppressive microenvironment, promotion of tumor angiogenesis, and metastasis). We also summarized and discussed the perspective about the potential application of CXCL5 in tumor therapy targeting the tumor inflammatory microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver pathology (LP) characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty acid disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a prevalent co-morbidity of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Accumulating evidence indicates that neutrophils driving insulin resistance (IR), including hepatic IR, precipitate T2D-associated NAFLD/NASH. We hypothesized that targeting neutrophil accumulation into insulin-sensitive tissues in mice using a CXCR2 antagonist under T2D-precipitating high fat diet (HFD) could improve insulin sensitivity and prevent the progression towards liver pathology reminiscent of NAFLD/NASH. METHODS Mice were age-matched and on standard rodent chow prior to 1:1 randomization into control and HFD formulated with the CXCR2 antagonist AZD5069 or with biologically inactive substitute. They were monitored for metabolic changes including insulin sensitivity using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and hepatic histopathologic evaluation in H&E-stained sections as well as via immunofluorescence microscopy of liver sections for leukocyte markers, collagen 1A1 formation, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), and galectin-3 expression, for 16 weeks. Statistical tests used to determine significant differences among study groups and outcomes include Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA, repeated measures two-way ANOVA, and Fisher's exact test, depending on the analytical question. RESULTS Compared to mice on HFD, mice in the AZD5069-formulated HFD exhibited improved insulin sensitivity, a modest reduction in weight gain, and a significant improvement in LP and markers related to NAFLD/NASH. Mice in the AZD5069-formulated HFD also exhibited reduced neutrophil accumulation into the liver at the end of the 16 week study period. CONCLUSIONS These results show, for the first time, the effectiveness of a selective CXCR2 antagonist to improve insulin sensitivity, concomitantly preventing the progression towards LP characteristic of NAFLD/NASH. This represents a novel approach to target IR and developing LP under T2D-susceptible conditions using a single agent. Furthermore, our data extend the growing evidence in support of neutrophils as a leukocyte population that imprints and maintains a chronic inflammatory state in the progression of dysregulated metabolism in liver-specific co-morbid conditions.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that administration of Regenerating islet-derived protein 3α (Reg3α), a protein described as having protective effects against oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory activity, could participate in the control of glucose homeostasis and potentially be a new target of interest in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To that end the recombinant human Reg3α protein was administered for one month in insulin-resistant mice fed high fat diet. We performed glucose and insulin tolerance tests, assayed circulating chemokines in plasma and measured glucose uptake in insulin sensitive tissues. We evidenced an increase in insulin sensitivity during an oral glucose tolerance test in ALF-5755 treated mice vs controls and decreased the pro-inflammatory cytokine C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 5 (CXCL5). We also demonstrated an increase in glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. Finally, correlation studies using human and mouse muscle biopsies showed negative correlation between intramuscular Reg3α mRNA expression (or its murine isoform Reg3γ) and insulin resistance. Thus, we have established the proof of concept that Reg3α could be a novel molecule of interest in the treatment of T2D by increasing insulin sensitivity via a skeletal muscle effect.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs) within the microvasculature of brown adipose tissue (BAT) are important in regulating the plasticity of adipocytes in response to increased metabolic demand by modulating the angiogenic response. However, the mechanism of EC-adipocyte crosstalk during this process is not completely understood. We used RNA sequencing to profile microRNAs derived from BAT ECs of obese mice and identified an anti-angiogenic microRNA, miR-409-3p. MiR-409-3p overexpression inhibited EC angiogenic properties; whereas, its inhibition had the opposite effects. Mechanistic studies revealed that miR-409-3p targets ZEB1 and MAP4K3. Knockdown of ZEB1/MAP4K3 phenocopied the angiogenic effects of miR-409-3p. Adipocytes co-cultured with conditioned media from ECs deficient in miR-409-3p showed increased expression of BAT markers, UCP1 and CIDEA. We identified a pro-angiogenic growth factor, placental growth factor (PLGF), released from ECs in response to miR-409-3p inhibition. Deficiency of ZEB1 or MAP4K3 blocked the release of PLGF from ECs and PLGF stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased UCP1 expression in a miR-409-3p dependent manner. MiR-409-3p neutralization improved BAT angiogenesis, glucose and insulin tolerance, and energy expenditure in mice with diet-induced obesity. These findings establish miR-409-3p as a critical regulator of EC-BAT crosstalk by modulating a ZEB1-MAP4K3-PLGF signaling axis, providing new insights for therapeutic intervention in obesity.

Abstract
Adipose tissue affects metabolic-related diseases because it consists of various cell types involved in fat metabolism and adipokine release. CXC ligand 5 (CXCL5) is a member of the CXC chemokine family and is highly expressed by macrophages in white adipose tissue (WAT). In this study, we generated and investigated the function of CXCL5 in knockout (KO) mice using CRISPR/Cas9. The male KO mice did not show significant phenotype differences in normal conditions. However, proteomic analysis revealed that many proteins involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation and mitochondrial localization were enriched in the inguinal WAT (iWAT) of Cxcl5 KO mice. Cxcl5 KO mice also showed decreased protein and transcript expression of genes associated with thermogenesis, including uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a well-known thermogenic gene, and increased expression of genes associated with inflammation. The increase in UCP1 expression in cold conditions was significantly retarded in Cxcl5 KO mice. Finally, we found that CXCL5 treatment increased the expression of transcription factors that mediate Ucp1 expression and Ucp1 itself. Collectively, our data show that Ucp1 expression is induced in adipocytes by CXCL5, which is secreted upon β-adrenergic stimulation by cold stimulation in M1 macrophages. Our data indicate that CXCL5 plays a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism, particularly upon cold exposure. These results strongly suggest that targeting CXCL5 could be a potential therapeutic strategy for people suffering from disorders affecting energy metabolism.

CXCR1/2 Inhibitor Ladarixin Ameliorates the Insulin Resistance of 3T3-L1 Adipocytes by Inhibiting Inflammation and Improving Insulin Signaling. Cells 2021; 10:cells10092324.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a severe public health issue worldwide. It displays a harmful effect on different organs as the eyes, kidneys and neural cells due to insulin resistance and high blood glucose concentrations. To date, the available treatments for this disorder remain limited. Several reports have correlated obesity with type 2 diabetes. Mainly, dysfunctional adipocytes and the regulation of high secretion of inflammatory cytokines are the crucial links between obesity and insulin resistance. Several clinical and epidemiological studies have also correlated the onset of type 2 diabetes with inflammation, which is now indicated as a new target for type 2 diabetes treatment. Thus, it appears essential to discover new drugs able to inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory adipocytokines in type 2 diabetes. Adipocytes produce inflammatory cytokines in response to inflammation or high glucose levels. Once activated by a specific ligand, CXCR1 and CXCR2 mediate some cytokines’ effects by activating an intracellular signal cascade once activated by a specific ligand. Therefore, it is conceivable to hypothesize that a specific antagonist of these receptors may ameliorate type 2 diabetes and glucose metabolism. Herein, differentiated 3T3-L1-adipocytes were subjected to high glucose or inflammatory conditions or the combination of both and then treated with ladarixin, a CXCR1/2 inhibitor. The results obtained point towards the positive regulation by ladarixin on insulin sensitivity, glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT4, cytokine proteome profile and lipid metabolism, thus suggesting ladarixin as a potentially helpful treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.

Does kisspeptin act as a neuropeptide or as an adipokine in obese people? J Taibah Univ Med Sci 2021; 17:45-50. [PMID: 35140564 PMCID: PMC8802860 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtumed.2021.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Obesity is a serious global issue with a massive impact on the health and life of people worldwide. Besides being a neuropeptide, kisspeptin is an important adipokine involved in regulating energy homeostasis and body weight. This study aims to clarify the underlying role of kisspeptin in obesity. Methods This case-control study included 110 obese individuals with BMI of 33.45 ± 0.36 kg/m2 and 84 normal-weight individuals with BMI 21.35 ± 0.24 kg/m2. The individuals' ages ranged from 21 to 45 years (31.56 ± 0.67 year). Kisspeptin, neutrophil epithelial activating peptide (ENA-78), and ghrelin were determined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Lipid profile parameters were determined using the commercial colorimetric techniques. Results Plasma concentrations of kisspeptin and ENA-78 were significantly higher in obese subjects (kisspeptine of obese: 437.66 ± 34.96 pg/ml; kisspeptine of normal-weight: 250.10 ± 16.16 pg/ml, p< 0.0001; ENA-78 of obese: 144.80 ± 23.94 pg/ml; ENA-78 of normal-weight: 50.97 ± 3.91 pg/ml, p< 0.001). Ghrelin concentrations showed no significant difference between obese and normal-weight subjects. The lipid profile parameters significantly differed between obese and normal-weight subjects. Conclusion Kisspeptin is associated with obesity. An increased mass of adipose tissue could be responsible not only for increased kisspeptin secretion but also for the increased ENA-78 secretion. Kisspeptin may act as an adipokine more than a neuropeptide in obese population. Further studies on humans are required to establish the underlying role of kisspeptin in adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis.

Abstract
Obesity is characterized as a chronic, low-grade inflammation state accompanied by the infiltration of immune cells into adipose tissue and higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms and effects of Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) on obesity and its associated inflammation. First, we applied a network pharmacology strategy to search the target genes and pathways regulated by CR in obesity. Next, we performed in vivo experiments to confirm the antiobesity and anti-inflammatory effects of CR. Mice were assigned to five groups: normal chow (NC), control (high-fat diet (HFD)), HFD + CR 200 mg/kg, HFD + CR 400 mg/kg, and HFD + metformin 200 mg/kg. After 16 weeks of the experimental period, CR administration significantly reduced the weight of the body, epididymal fat, and liver; it also decreased insulin resistance, as well as the area under the curve of glucose in the oral glucose tolerance test and triglyceride in the oral fat tolerance test. We observed a decrease in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and inflammatory M1 ATMs, as well as an increase in anti-inflammatory M2 ATMs. Gene expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α, F4/80, and C-C motif chemokine (CCL)-2, CCL4, and CCL5, were suppressed in adipose tissue in the CR groups than levels in the control group. Additionally, histological analyses suggested decreased fat accumulation in the epididymal fat pad and liver in the CR groups than that in the control group. Taken together, these results suggest that CR has a therapeutic effect on obesity-induced inflammation, and it functions through the inhibition of macrophage-mediated inflammation in adipose tissue.

Obesity-induced changes in human islet G protein-coupled receptor expression: Implications for metabolic regulation. Pharmacol Ther 2021; 228:107928.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that are the targets for many different classes of pharmacotherapy. The islets of Langerhans are central to appropriate glucose homeostasis through their secretion of insulin, and islet function can be modified by ligands acting at the large number of GPCRs that islets express. The human islet GPCRome is not a static entity, but one that is altered under pathophysiological conditions and, in this review, we have compared expression of GPCR mRNAs in human islets obtained from normal weight range donors, and those with a weight range classified as obese. We have also considered the likely outcomes on islet function that the altered GPCR expression status confers and the possible impact that adipokines, secreted from expanded fat depots, could have at those GPCRs showing altered expression in obesity.

Abstract
Chemokines present in the tumor microenvironment are essential for the control of tumor progression. We show here that several ligands of the chemokine receptor Cxcr2 were up-regulated in the PyMT (polyoma middle T oncogene) model of breast cancer. Interestingly, the knock-down of Cxcr2 in PyMT animals led to an increased growth of the primary tumor and lung metastasis. The analysis of tumor content of PyMT-Cxcr2-/- animals highlighted an increased infiltration of tumor associated neutrophils (TANs), mirrored by a decreased recruitment of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) compared to PyMT animals. Analysis of PyMT-Cxcr2-/- TANs revealed that they lost their killing ability compared to PyMT-Cxcr2+/+ TANs. The transcriptomic analysis of PyMT-Cxcr2-/- TANs showed that they had a more pronounced pro-tumor TAN2 profile compared to PyMT TANs. In particular, PyMT-Cxcr2-/- TANs displayed an up-regulation of the pathways involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and angiogenesis and factors favoring metastasis, but reduced apoptosis. In summary, our data reveal that a lack of Cxcr2 provides TANs with pro-tumor effects.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tumor microenvironment is critical for cancer progression. The role of the chemokine receptors in breast cancers is still under investigation. The aim of this study was to focus on a retrospective cohort of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) and analyze the involvement of CXCR2 and its link with immune infiltration and immune checkpoint markers. High densities of CXCR2-positive cells were associated with high-grade tumors. Higher quantities of CXCR2-positive cells were correlated with elevated density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes, expression of PD-L1 by tumor and stromal cells and of PD-1 by stromal cells. In univariate analysis, low levels of CXCR2 were correlated with poor OS and RFS. In multivariate analysis, low levels of CXCR2 were associated with poor OS. Overall, our data highlight the potential beneficial association of high levels of CXCR2 with a subgroup of TNBC patients characterized by a better prognosis. Abstract Chemokines and their receptors are key players in breast cancer progression and outcome. Previous studies have shown that the chemokine receptor CXCR2 was expressed at higher levels by cells of the tumor microenvironment in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). The aim of this study was to focus our attention on a retrospective cohort of 290 TNBC cases and analyze the involvement of CXCR2, CD11b (a marker of granulocytes) and CD66b (a marker of neutrophils) and their link with immune infiltration and immune checkpoint markers. We report that high densities of CXCR2-, CD11b- and CD66b-positive cells were associated with high-grade tumors. Moreover, molecular apocrine TNBCs, defined here as tumors that express both AR and FOXA1 biomarkers, exhibited low levels of CXCR2 and CD11b. High CXCR2 and CD11b levels were correlated with elevated density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes, expression of PD-L1 by tumor and stromal cells and of PD-1 by stromal cells. On the other hand, CD66b levels were associated only with CD8+, stromal PD-L1 and PD-1 expression. In univariate analysis, low levels of CXCR2 were correlated with poor OS and RFS. In multivariate analysis, low levels of CXCR2 were associated with poor OS. Finally, in TNBC treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, CXCR2 density was associated with longer RFS. Overall, our data highlight the potential beneficial association of high levels of CXCR2 with a subgroup of TNBC patients characterized by a better prognosis.

Abstract
Obesity is a globally increasing health problem, entailing diverse comorbidities such as infectious diseases. An obese weight status has marked effects on lung function that can be attributed to mechanical dysfunctions. Moreover, the alterations of adipocyte-derived signal mediators strongly influence the regulation of inflammation, resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation. Our review summarizes the known effects regarding pulmonary bacterial and viral infections. For this, we discuss model systems that allow mechanistic investigation of the interplay between obesity and lung infections. Overall, obesity gives rise to a higher susceptibility to infectious pathogens, but the pathogenetic process is not clearly defined. Whereas, viral infections often show a more severe course in obese patients, the same patients seem to have a survival benefit during bacterial infections. In particular, we summarize the main mechanical impairments in the pulmonary tract caused by obesity. Moreover, we outline the main secretory changes within the expanded adipose tissue mass, resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation. Finally, we connect these altered host factors to the influence of obesity on the development of lung infection by summarizing observations from clinical and experimental data.

Abstract
Obesity is rapidly dispersing all around the world and is closely associated with a high risk of metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), leading to carcinogenesis, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It results from an imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, leading to an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue (AT). Adipocytes play a substantial role in the tumor microenvironment through the secretion of several adipokines, affecting cancer progression, metastasis, and chemoresistance via diverse signaling pathways. AT is considered an endocrine organ owing to its ability to secrete adipokines, such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and a plethora of inflammatory cytokines, which modulate insulin sensitivity and trigger chronic low-grade inflammation in different organs. Even though the precise mechanisms are still unfolding, it is now established that the dysregulated secretion of adipokines by AT contributes to the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders. This review focuses on several obesity-associated adipokines and their impact on obesity-related metabolic diseases, subsequent metabolic complications, and progression to HCC, as well as their role as potential therapeutic targets. The field is rapidly developing, and further research is still required to fully understand the underlying mechanisms for the metabolic actions of adipokines and their role in obesity-associated HCC.

Correlation of host inflammatory cytokines and immune-related metabolites, but not viral NS1 protein, with disease severity of dengue virus infection. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0237141. [PMID: 32764789 PMCID: PMC7413495 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0237141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Severe dengue can be lethal caused by manifestations such as severe bleeding, fluid accumulation and organ impairment. This study aimed to investigate the role of dengue non-structural 1 (NS1) protein and host factors contributing to severe dengue. Electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing system was used to investigate the changes in barrier function of microvascular endothelial cells treated NS1 protein and serum samples from patients with different disease severity. Cytokines and metabolites profiles were assessed using a multiplex cytokine assay and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry respectively. The findings showed that NS1 was able to induce the loss of barrier function in microvascular endothelium in a dose dependent manner, however, the level of NS1 in serum samples did not correlate with the extent of vascular leakage induced. Further assessment of host factors revealed that cytokines such as CCL2, CCL5, CCL20 and CXCL1, as well as adhesion molecule ICAM-1, that are involved in leukocytes infiltration were expressed higher in dengue patients in comparison to healthy individuals. In addition, metabolomics study revealed the presence of deregulated metabolites involved in the phospholipid metabolism pathway in patients with severe manifestations. In conclusion, disease severity in dengue virus infection did not correlate directly with NS1 level, but instead with host factors that are involved in the regulation of junctional integrity and phospholipid metabolism. However, as the studied population was relatively small in this study, these exploratory findings should be confirmed by expanding the sample size using an independent cohort to further establish the significance of this study.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a central regulator of metabolism and an important pharmacological target to treat the metabolic consequences of obesity, such as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Among the various cellular compartments, the adipocyte cell surface is especially appealing as a drug target as it contains various proteins that when activated or inhibited promote adipocyte health, change its endocrine function and eventually maintain or restore whole-body insulin sensitivity. In addition, cell surface proteins are readily accessible by various drug classes. However, targeting individual cell surface proteins in adipocytes has been difficult due to important functions of these proteins outside adipose tissue, raising various safety concerns. Thus, one of the biggest challenges is the lack of adipose selective surface proteins and/or targeting reagents. Here, we discuss several receptor families with an important function in adipogenesis and mature adipocytes to highlight the complexity at the cell surface and illustrate the problems with identifying adipose selective proteins. We then discuss that, while no unique adipocyte surface protein might exist, how splicing, posttranslational modifications as well as protein/protein interactions can create enormous diversity at the cell surface that vastly expands the space of potentially unique epitopes and how these selective epitopes can be identified and targeted.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated host response to an infection. Here we report that the circulating levels of growth and differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) are strongly increased in septic shock patients and correlate with mortality. In mice, we find that peptidoglycan is a potent ligand that signals through the TLR2-Myd88 axis for the secretion of GDF15, and that Gdf15-deficient mice are protected against abdominal sepsis due to increased chemokine CXC ligand 5 (CXCL5)-mediated recruitment of neutrophils into the peritoneum, leading to better local bacterial control. Our results identify GDF15 as a potential target to improve sepsis treatment. Its inhibition should increase neutrophil recruitment to the site of infection and consequently lead to better pathogen control and clearance.

Abstract
Obesity-associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by low-grade chronic systemic inflammation that arises primarily from the white adipose tissue. The interplay between various adipose tissue-derived chemokines drives insulin resistance in T2DM and has therefore become a subject of rigorous investigation. The adipocytokines strongly associated with glucose homeostasis include tumor necrosis factor-α, various interleukins, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, adiponectin, and leptin, among others. Remodeling the adipose tissue inflammasome in obesity-associated T2DM is likely to treat the underlying cause of the disease and bring significant therapeutic benefit. Various strategies have been adopted or are being investigated to modulate the serum/tissue levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory adipocytokines to improve glucose homeostasis in T2DM. These include use of small molecule agonists/inhibitors, mimetics, antibodies, gene therapy, and other novel formulations. Here, we discuss adipocytokines that are strongly associated with insulin activity and therapies that are under investigation for modulation of their levels in the treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
This study explores the effects of microbiota on reproductive function of Cxcr2 knockout animals. Cxcr2 is involved in the control of pituitary action and the subsequent development of mammary gland, uterus and ovary. Microbiota and chronic infections can affect not only immune status, but also the overall physiology of animals. Here, we report that chronic infections dramatically modify the phenotype of Cxcr2 KO mice, impairing in particular, their reproduction ability. We show that exposure of Cxcr2 KO females to multiple types of chronic infections prevents their ability to cycle, reduces the development of the mammary gland and alters the morphology of the uterus due to an impairment of ovary function. Mammary gland and ovary transplantation demonstrated that the hormonal contexture was playing a crucial role in this phenomenon. This was further evidenced by alterations to circulating levels of sex steroid and pituitary hormones. By analyzing at the molecular level the mechanisms of pituitary dysfunction, we showed that in the absence of Cxcr2, bystander infections affect leukocyte migration, adhesion, and function, as well as ion transport, synaptic function behavior, and reproduction pathways. Taken together, these data reveal that a chemokine receptor plays a direct role in pituitary function and reproduction in the context of chronic infections.

Abstract
Obesity is one of the most serious global health problems, with an incidence that increases yearly and coincides with the development of a variety of associated comorbidities (e.g., type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, some immune-related disorders). Although many studies have investigated the pathogenesis of overweight and obesity, multiple regulatory factors underlying the onset of obesity-related metabolic disorders remain elusive. Macrophages contribute to modulation of obesity-related inflammation and insulin resistance (IR); adipose tissue macrophages are particularly important in this context. Based on newly identified links between the chemokine system and obesity, macrophage polarization has become an essential target of new therapies for obesity-related IR. The findings of multiple studies imply that variations in gut microbiota and its metabolites might contribute to the regulation of obesity and related metabolic disorders. Recently, several novel antidiabetic drugs, applied as treatment for weight loss, were shown to be effective for obesity-induced IR and other comorbidities. The present review will discuss the properties and functions of macrophages in adipose tissue under conditions of obesity from three perspectives: the chemokine system, the gut microbiota, and antidiabetic drug application. It is proposed that macrophages might be a key therapeutic target for obesity-induced complications.

Abstract
Obesity modifies T cell populations in adipose tissue, thereby contributing to adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Here, we show that Rab4b, a small GTPase governing endocytic trafficking, is pivotal in T cells for the development of these pathological events. Rab4b expression is decreased in adipose T cells from mice and patients with obesity. The specific depletion of Rab4b in T cells causes adipocyte hypertrophy and insulin resistance in chow-fed mice and worsens insulin resistance in obese mice. This phenotype is driven by an increase in adipose Th17 and a decrease in adipose Treg due to a cell-autonomous skew of differentiation toward Th17. The Th17/Treg imbalance initiates adipose tissue inflammation and reduces adipogenesis, leading to lipid deposition in liver and muscles. Therefore, we propose that the obesity-induced loss of Rab4b in adipose T cells may contribute to maladaptive white adipose tissue remodeling and insulin resistance by altering adipose T cell fate.

Abstract
Chemokines are members of a large family of chemotactic cytokines that signal through their receptors to mediate leukocyte recruitment during inflammation and homeostasis. The chemokine receptor CXCR2 has largely been associated with neutrophil recruitment. However, there is emerging evidence of roles for chemokines and their receptors in processes other than leukocyte migration. We have previously demonstrated that CXCR2 knockout (KO) mice have thinner skin compared to wild-type mice. Herein we demonstrate that this is due to a thinner subcutaneous adipose layer, as a result of fewer and smaller individual adipocytes. We observe a similar phenotype in other fat depots and present data that suggests this may be due to reduced expression of adipogenesis related genes associated with adipocyte specific CXCR2 signaling. Interestingly, this phenotype is evident in female, but not male, CXCR2 KO mice. These findings expand our understanding of nonleukocyte related chemokine receptor functions and help to explain some previously observed adipose-related phenotypes in CXCR2 KO mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic foot ulceration is a severe complication of diabetes, driving morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to identify novel biomarkers of impaired wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers. METHODS 109 patients with neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers and 30 burn victims otherwise healthy participated. Antibody-coated glass slide arrays were used to determine the levels of 80 human cytokines in pooled plasma or pooled wound exudate of diabetic foot ulcers with rapidly healing (RH, n = 12) and matched nonhealing (NH, n = 12) patients. Potential biomarkers were confirmed in an independent cohort by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Protein array profiling identified 27 proteins or 15 proteins significantly altered in protein profiling of pooled plasma or pooled wound exudate of 12 RH patients compared with 12 matched NH patients, respectively. In an independent cohort, quantitative ELISA validation confirmed a decrease in MCP-2 and ENA-78 levels in NH patients versus RH patients or burn victims. After adjusting for the traditional risk factors (sex, age, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, ulcer area, HbA1C, diabetes duration, hyperlipidemia, and antibiotic therapy), only wound exudate level of ENA-78 remained having a significant association with an increased odds ratio (OR) for wound healing by binary logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Decreased wound exudate ENA-78 was independently associated with wound healing of patients with diabetic foot. Exudate ENA-78 level is implicated as a novel predictor of wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
Immune cells are present in the adipose tissue (AT) and regulate its function. Under lean conditions, immune cells predominantly of type 2 immunity, including eosinophils, M2-like anti-inflammatory macrophages and innate lymphoid cells 2, contribute to the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis within the AT. In the course of obesity, pro-inflammatory immune cells, such as M1-like macrophages, prevail in the AT. Inflammation in the obese AT is associated with the development of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Thus, the immune cell-adipocyte crosstalk in the AT is an important regulator of AT function and systemic metabolism. We discuss herein this crosstalk with a special focus on the role of innate immune cells in AT inflammation and metabolic homeostasis in obesity.

Abstract
Macrophages and many chemokines are closely associated with the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but their roles in adipogenesis and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we first investigated the influence of macrophages on the differentiation of MSCs in vitro. We found that RAW246.7 macrophages cocultured with MSCs strongly blocked the differentiation progress and inhibited the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) during adipogenesis. Coculture with MSCs mainly induced macrophages toward M2 polarization. In addition, the expression of CXCL1 and its receptor, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2, CXCR2 are high during adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and not in mature adipocytes. Although CXCL1 had no effect on adipogenesis, treatment with a specific CXCR2 inhibitor, SB225002, hampered the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Blocking CXCR2 decreased p38 and Elk1 phosphorylation but increased the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation at the initial stage of adipogenesis, which suppressed the phosphorylation of p38/ERK-Elk1 at the late stage. Inhibition of ERK had similar effects on adipogenesis and Elk1 phosphorylation. Our data suggest that MSCs interact with macrophages during adipogenic differentiation. CXCR2 regulates the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs by altering the activation of the p38/ERK-Elk1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
There is increasing appreciation that the immune system plays critical roles not only in the traditional domains of infection and inflammation but also in many areas of biology, including tumorigenesis, metabolism, and even neurobiology. However, one of the major barriers for understanding human immunological mechanisms is that immune assays have not been reproducibly characterized for a sufficiently large and diverse healthy human cohort. Here, we present the 10,000 Immunomes Project (10KIP), a framework for growing a diverse human immunology reference, from ImmPort, a publicly available resource of subject-level immunology data. Although some measurement types are sparse in the presently deposited ImmPort database, the extant data allow for a diversity of robust comparisons. Using 10KIP, we describe variations in serum cytokines and leukocytes by age, race, and sex; define a baseline cell-cytokine network; and describe immunologic changes in pregnancy. All data in the resource are available for visualization and download at http://10kimmunomes.org/.
