Król-Kulikowska M, Banasik M, Kepinska M. The Effect of Selected Nitric Oxide Synthase Polymorphisms on the Risk of Developing Diabetic Nephropathy. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:838. [PMID: 39061907 PMCID: PMC11273648 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13070838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide (NO), the altered production of which is characteristic of diabetic nephropathy. NOS exists in three isoforms: NOS1, NOS2, and NOS3. Moreover, there are reports about the potential role of NOS3 polymorphisms in the development of diabetes complications. The aim of this study was to assess the role of selected NOS polymorphisms-rs3782218 (NOS1), rs1137933 (NOS2), rs1799983, rs2070744, and rs61722009 (NOS3)-in the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy and in the likelihood of renal replacement therapy. METHODS The studied polymorphisms were analyzed in a group of 232 patients divided into three groups. Four polymorphisms (rs3782218, rs1137933, rs1799983, rs2070744) were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP, while the rs61722009 polymorphism was genotyped using the PCR. RESULTS The C/C genotype and the C allele of the rs3782218 polymorphism (NOS1) were associated with an increased risk of developing diabetic nephropathy and an increased likelihood of renal replacement therapy. In turn, the G allele of the rs1137933 polymorphism (NOS2) reduces the likelihood of renal replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS The specific genotypes or alleles of the rs3782218 (NOS1) and rs1137933 (NOS2) polymorphisms seem to be potential risk factors for diabetic nephropathy and renal replacement therapy.

Abstract
Adenanthera pavonina is a medicinal plant with numerous potential secondary metabolites showing a significant level of antidiabetic activity. The objective of the current study was to identify potential phytochemicals from the methanolic leaf extract of Adenanthera pavonina as therapeutic agents against diabetes mellitus using GC-MS and in silico methods. The GC-MS analysis of the leaf extract revealed a total of 17 phytochemicals. Molecular docking was performed using these phytochemicals, targeting the mutated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (5hhw), which inhibits glucose uptake by cells. Diazoprogesterone (-9.2 kcal/mol), 2,4,4,7a-Tetramethyl-1-(3-oxobutyl)octahydro-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid (-6.9 kcal/mol), and 2-Naphthalenemethanol, decahydro-.alpha.,.alpha.,4a-trimethyl-8-methylene-, [2R-(2.alpha.,4a.alpha.,8a.beta.)] (-6.6 kcal/mol) exhibited better binding with the target protein. The ADMET analysis was performed for the top three compounds with the best docking scores, which showed positive results with no observed toxicity in the AMES test. Furthermore, the molecular dynamics study confirmed the favorable binding of Diazoprogesterone, 2,4,4,7a-Tetramethyl-1-(3-oxobutyl)octahydro-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid and 2-Naphthalenemethanol, decahydro-.alpha.,.alpha.,4a-trimethyl-8-methylene-, [2R-(2.alpha.,4a.alpha.,8a.beta.)] with the receptor throughout the 100 ns simulation period.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is chronic metabolic disorder manifested by increased blood glucose (hyperglycemia) due to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and/or decreased sensitivity of peripheral tissue to insulin. T2DM is a multifactorial disease that may results from interaction of environmental and genetic factors.
Methods
A case–control study consisting of 400 T2DM patients in addition to 400 as control. Phenotyping as well as anthropometric data included body mass index BMI, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, VLDL, LDL, HDL insulin levels and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance HOMA-IR were estimated for the two groups. PCR–RFLP was used to carry out genotyping of CDKN2A/B gene (rs10811661 T>C and rs2383208 A>G) SNPs.
Results
For rs10811661 SNP the genotype and allele frequencies of CDKN2A/B gene for T2DM and control subjects showed that the co-dominant model in patients with the homozygous (TT) was found to be significantly (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.47–4.24, P 0.004) higher than those in control group. In contrast, the heterozygous genotype (TC) did not reveal this significance (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.77–2.62, P = 0.13), ANOVA test for mean comparison of biochemical markers under the co-dominant model of rs10811661 SNP genotype in CDKN2A/B gene, revealed a significant difference for insulin (P < 0.0001) and HOMA-IR (P < 0.0001) in T2DM group as compared to control one; However (rs2383208) SNP did not show any significant association with T2DM and with the measured biochemical marker at any model.
Conclusions
CDKN2A/B gene rs10811661 SNP was implicated in T2DM pathogenesis in this sample of Iraqi population also it affects insulin level in those patients, whereas the rs2383208 SNP did not impact the disease.

J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 36:e22953.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease (AD), both are chronic and progressive diseases. Many cardiovascular and genetic risk factors are considered responsible for the development of AD and diabetes mellitus (DM). Genetic risk factor such as apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays a critical role in the progression of AD. Specifically, APOEε4 is genetically the strongest isoform associated with neuronal insulin deficiency, altered lipid homeostasis, and metabolism, decreased glucose uptake, impaired gray matter volume, and cerebrovascular functions. In this article, we have summarized the mechanisms of cardiovascular disturbances associated with AD and DM, impact of amyloid-β aggregation, and neurofibrillary tangles formation in AD. Moreover, cardiovascular risk factors leading to insulin resistance (IR) and amyloid-β aggregation are highlighted along with the effects of APOE risk alleles on cerebral, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism leading to CVD-mediated IR. Correspondingly, the contribution of IR, genetic and cardiovascular risk factors in amyloid-β aggregation, which may lead to the late onset of AD and DM, has been also discussed. In short, IR is related to significantly lower cerebral glucose metabolism, which sequentially forecasts poorer memory performance. Hence, there will be more chances for neural glucose intolerance and impairment of cognitive function in cardiac patients, particularly APOEε4 carriers having IR. Hence, this review provides a better understanding of the corresponding crosstalk among different pathways. This will help to investigate the rational application of preventive measures against IR and cognitive dysfunction, specifically in APOEε4 carriers' cardio-metabolic patients.

Abstract
COVID-19 has become a great challenge across the globe, particularly in developing and densely populated countries, such as India. COVID-19 is extremely infectious and is transmitted via respiratory droplets from infected persons. DM, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease are highly prevalent comorbidities associated with COVID-19. It has been observed that COVID-19 is associated with high blood-glucose levels, mainly in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several studies have shown DM to be a significant risk factor affecting the severity of various kinds of infection. Dysregulated immunoresponse found in diabetic patients plays an important role in exacerbating severity. DM is among the comorbidities linked with mortality and morbidity in COVID-19 patients. Chronic conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disorders, and hypertension, together with changed expression of ACE2, dysregulated immunoresponse, and endothelial dysfunction, may put diabetic patients at risk of greater COVID-19 severity. Therefore, it is important to study specific characteristics of COVID-19 in diabetic people and treat these comorbidities along with COVID-19 infection, mainly among old individuals who are already suffering from serious and critical infections. This review will be helpful in understanding the mechanisms involved in COVID-19 and DM, the role of ACE2 in COVID-19 pathogenesis, management of DM, and associated complications in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Conventional stem cell delivery typically utilize administration of directly injection of allogenic cells or domesticated autogenic cells. It may lead to immune clearance of these cells by the host immune systems. Alginate microgels have been demonstrated to improve the survival of encapsulated cells and overcome rapid immune clearance after transplantation. Moreover, alginate microgels can serve as three-dimensional extracellular matrix to support cell growth and protect allogenic cells from rapid immune clearance, with functions as delivery vehicles to achieve sustained release of therapeutic proteins and growth factors from the encapsulated cells. Besides, cell-loaded alginate microgels can potentially be applied in regenerative medicine by serving as injectable engineered scaffolds to support tissue regrowth. In this review, the properties of alginate and different methods to produce alginate microgels are introduced firstly. Then, we focus on diverse applications of alginate microgels for cell delivery in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, with advancement of medical research and technology, treatments of many diseases including chronic disorders like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been revolutionized. Treatment and management of RA has been refined by advances in understanding its pathologic mechanisms, the development of drugs which target them and its association with various other chronic comorbidities like diabetes. Diabetes prevalence is closely associated with RA since elevated insulin resistance have been observed with RA. It is also associated with inflammation caused due to pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumour necrosis factor α and interleukin 6. Inflammation encourages insulin resistance and also stimulates other factors like a high level of rheumatoid factor in the blood leading to positivity of rheumatoid factor in RA patients. The degree of RA inflammation also tends to influence the criticality of insulin resistance, which increases with high activity of RA and vice versa. Markers of glucose metabolism appear to be improved by DMARDs like methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, interleukin 1 antagonists and TNF antagonist while glucocorticoids adversely affect glycemic control especially when administered chronically. The intent of the present review paper is to understand the association between RA, insulin resistance and diabetes; the degree to which both can influence the other along with the plausible impact of RA medications on diabetes and insulin resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current study aimed to find the association of genes polymorphism of CDKAL1, HHEX, CDKN2A/2B, and IGF2BP2 with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the population of Uttarakhand. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Overall 469 persons comprising 369 recently diagnosed T2DM cases and 100 healthy control were enrolled in the present study. The polymorphisms were analyzed through the PCR-RFLP technique. RESULTS For the rs10440833 variant (CDKAL1), CC genotype's frequency was significantly high among T2DM subjects than controls and increase the T2DM risk (OR: 4.46, 95% CI: 2.22-8.99, p <0.0001). The c allele was significantly found to increase the T2DM risk (OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.54-3.14, p <0.001). In the rs1111875 variant (HHEX), the difference of genotype frequencies among T2DM cases and control was statistically non-significant (p-0.138). We did not observe significant differences in allelic frequencies among T2DM cases and control (p-0.444). In the case of rs10811661 variant (CDKN2A/2B), frequency of both TC (OR: 3.16, 95% CI: 1.84-5.42, p <0.0001) and TT (OR: 5.84, 95% CI: 1.75-19.45, p -0.004) genotype were significantly higher in T2DM cases in comparison with control and significantly associated with higher T2DM risk. Compared to the C allele, a significant increase in T2DM risk was documented with the T allele (OR: 2.47, 95% CI: 1.55-3.92, p <0.001). For rs4402960 variant (IGF2BP2), TT genotype contributed to increased T2DM risk (OR: 4.25, 95% CI: 2.02-8.93, p -0.0001). T allele's frequency was significantly high in T2DM cases in comparison with healthy control. Except WHR, HDL-C, exercise, household chores, standing work more than 3 hours, and family history, significant differences were found between T2DM cases and healthy individuals in all other parameters. CONCLUSION Our study concluded a significant association of CDKAL1, CDKN2A/2B, and IGF2BP2 polymorphism with T2DM in the Uttarakhand population. For HHEX, the genotype and allelic frequencies difference between T2DM cases and control were statistically non-significant. However, a significant association of HHEX gene polymorphism with T2DM was observed only under the dominant model.
