Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus presents a formidable challenge as one of the most prevalent and complex chronic diseases, exerting significant strain on both patients and the world economy. It is recognized as a common comorbidity among severely ill individuals, often leading to a myriad of micro- and macro-vascular complications. Despite extensive research dissecting the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular complications of diabetes, relatively little attention has been paid to potential lung-related complications. This review aims to illuminate the impact of diabetes on prevalent respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia infections, and asthma, and compare the vascular complications with other vascular beds. Additionally, we explore the primary mechanistic pathways contributing to these complications, such as the expression modulation of blood-tissue-barrier proteins, resulting in increased paracellular and transcellular permeability, and compromised immune responses rendering diabetes patients more susceptible to infections. The activation of inflammatory pathways leading to cellular injury and hastening the onset of these respiratory complications is also discussed.

Melatonin regulates endoplasmic reticulum stress in diverse pathophysiological contexts: A comprehensive mechanistic review. J Cell Physiol 2024:e31383. [PMID: 39039752 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.31383] [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: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein quality control, and disruptions in its function can lead to various diseases. ER stress triggers an adaptive response called the unfolded protein response (UPR), which can either restore cellular homeostasis or induce cell death. Melatonin, a safe and multifunctional compound, shows promise in controlling ER stress and could be a valuable therapeutic agent for managing the UPR. By regulating ER and mitochondrial functions, melatonin helps maintain cellular homeostasis via reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Melatonin can directly or indirectly interfere with ER-associated sensors and downstream targets of the UPR, impacting cell death, autophagy, inflammation, molecular repair, among others. Crucially, this review explores the mechanistic role of melatonin on ER stress in various diseases including liver damage, neurodegeneration, reproductive disorders, pulmonary disease, cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, renal dysfunction, and cancer. Interestingly, while it alleviates the burden of ER stress in most pathological contexts, it can paradoxically stimulate ER stress in cancer cells, highlighting its intricate involvement in cellular homeostasis. With numerous successful studies using in vivo and in vitro models, the continuation of clinical trials is imperative to fully explore melatonin's therapeutic potential in these conditions.

Impact of Diabetes and Glycemia on Cardiac Improvement and Adverse Events Following Mechanical Circulatory Support. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e032936. [PMID: 38989825 PMCID: PMC11292740 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.032936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is prevalent in cardiovascular disease and contributes to excess morbidity and mortality. We sought to investigate the effect of glycemia on functional cardiac improvement, morbidity, and mortality in durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients with an LVAD were prospectively evaluated (n=531). After excluding patients missing pre-LVAD glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements or having inadequate post-LVAD follow-up, 375 patients were studied. To assess functional cardiac improvement, we used absolute left ventricular ejection fraction change (ΔLVEF: LVEF post-LVAD-LVEF pre-LVAD). We quantified the association of pre-LVAD HbA1c with ΔLVEF as the primary outcome, and all-cause mortality and LVAD-related adverse event rates (ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack, intracerebral hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, LVAD-related infection, device thrombosis) as secondary outcomes. Last, we assessed HbA1c differences pre- and post-LVAD. Patients with type 2 diabetes were older, more likely men suffering ischemic cardiomyopathy, and had longer heart failure duration. Pre-LVAD HbA1c was inversely associated with ΔLVEF in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy but not in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy, after adjusting for age, sex, heart failure duration, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. Pre-LVAD HbA1c was not associated with all-cause mortality, but higher pre-LVAD HbA1c was shown to increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, LVAD-related infection, and device thrombosis by 3 years on LVAD support (P<0.05 for all). HbA1c decreased from 6.68±1.52% pre-LVAD to 6.11±1.33% post-LVAD (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes and pre-LVAD glycemia modify the potential for functional cardiac improvement and the risk for adverse events on LVAD support. The degree and duration of pre-LVAD glycemic control optimization to favorably affect these outcomes warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Aim: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) lower anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar were searched until September 2023 for studies regarding SGLT2i for treating anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Overall mortality and cardiovascular events were considered. Using a random-effects model, data pooled RR and HR at a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 3 cohort studies were identified, analyzing 2817 patients. Results display a significant reduction in overall mortality [RR = 0.52 (0.33-0.82); p = 0.005; I2= 32%], HF hospitalization [RR = 0.20 (0.04-1.02); p = 0.05; I2= 0%] and no significant reduction in HF incidence [RR = 0.50 (0.20-1.16); p = 0.11, I2= 0%]. Conclusion: SGLT2i mitigates mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure, improving cancer patient's chances of survival by undergoing anthracycline treatment.

Abstract
The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) has been firmly established; however, the entity of diabetic myocardial disorder (previously called diabetic cardiomyopathy) remains a matter of debate. Diabetic myocardial disorder was originally described as the occurrence of myocardial structural/functional abnormalities associated with T2DM in the absence of coronary heart disease, hypertension and/or obesity. However, supporting evidence has been derived from experimental and small clinical studies. Only a minority of T2DM patients are recognized as having this condition in the absence of contributing factors, thereby limiting its clinical utility. Therefore, this concept is increasingly being viewed along the evolving HF trajectory, where patients with T2DM and asymptomatic structural/functional cardiac abnormalities could be considered as having pre-HF. The importance of recognizing this stage has gained interest due to the potential for current treatments to halt or delay the progression to overt HF in some patients. This document is an expert consensus statement of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC and the ESC Working Group on Myocardial & Pericardial Diseases. It summarizes contemporary understanding of the association between T2DM and HF and discuses current knowledge and uncertainties about diabetic myocardial disorder that deserve future research. It also proposes a new definition, whereby diabetic myocardial disorder is defined as systolic and/or diastolic myocardial dysfunction in the presence of diabetes. Diabetes is rarely exclusively responsible for myocardial dysfunction, but usually acts in association with obesity, arterial hypertension, chronic kidney disease and/or coronary artery disease, causing additive myocardial impairment.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a prevalent myocardial microvascular complication of the myocardium with a complex pathogenesis. Investigating the pathogenesis of DCM can significantly contribute to enhancing its prevention and treatment strategies. Our study revealed an upregulation of lysine acetyltransferase 2 A (Kat2a) expression in DCM, accompanied by a decrease in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modified Kat2a mRNA levels. Our study revealed an upregulation of lysine acetyltransferase 2 A (Kat2a) expression in DCM, accompanied by a decrease in N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modified Kat2a mRNA levels. Functionally, inhibition of Kat2a effectively ameliorated high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte injury both in vitro and in vivo by suppressing ferroptosis. Mechanistically, Demethylase alkB homolog 5 (Alkbh5) was found to reduce m6A methylation levels on Kat2a mRNA, leading to its upregulation. YTH domain family 2 (Ythdf2) played a crucial role as an m6A reader protein mediating the degradation of Kat2a mRNA. Furthermore, Kat2a promoted ferroptosis by increasing Tfrc and Hmox1 expression via enhancing the enrichment of H3K27ac and H3K9ac on their promoter regions. In conclusion, our findings unveil a novel role for the Kat2a-ferroptosis axis in DCM pathogenesis, providing valuable insights for potential clinical interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common and severe complication of diabetes. Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in DCM development. Bicyclol is a hepatoprotective drug in China that exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the MAPK and NF-κB pathways to prevent obesity-induced cardiomyopathy. Our purpose was to explore the effect and mechanism of bicyclol on DCM. METHODS A type 1 diabetes mouse model was established using C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of STZ. The therapeutic effect of bicyclol was evaluated in both heart tissues of diabetic mice and high concentration of glucose (HG)-stimulated H9c2 cells. RESULTS We showed that bicyclol significantly attenuated diabetes-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, which is accompanied by the preservation of cardiac function in mice. In addition, bicyclol exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, bicyclol inhibited the hyperglycemia-induced activation of MAPKs and NF-κB pathways, while upregulating the Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway to exhibit protective effects. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that bicyclol could be a promising cardioprotective agent in the treatment of DCM.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155472. [PMID: 38461630 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing an enormous economic burden on individuals and human society. Laboratory studies have identified several drugs that target mitophagy for the prevention and treatment of CVD. Only a few of these drugs have been successful in clinical trials, and most studies have been limited to animal and cellular models. Furthermore, conventional drugs used to treat CVD, such as antiplatelet agents, statins, and diuretics, often result in adverse effects on patients' cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory systems. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gained significant attention for its unique theoretical basis and clinical efficacy in treating CVD. PURPOSE This paper systematically summarizes all the herbal compounds, extracts, and active monomers used to target mitophagy for the treatment of CVD in the last five years. It provides valuable information for researchers in the field of basic cardiovascular research, pharmacologists, and clinicians developing herbal medicines with fewer side effects, as well as a useful reference for future mitophagy research. METHODS The search terms "cardiovascular disease," "mitophagy," "herbal preparations," "active monomers," and "cardiac disease pathogenesis" in combination with "natural products" and "diseases" were used to search for studies published in the past five years until January 2024. RESULTS Studies have shown that mitophagy plays a significant role in the progression and development of CVD, such as atherosclerosis (AS), heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), cardiac hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmia. Herbal compound preparations, crude extracts, and active monomers have shown potential as effective treatments for these conditions. These substances protect cardiomyocytes by inducing mitophagy, scavenging damaged mitochondria, and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. They display notable efficacy in combating CVD. CONCLUSION TCM (including herbal compound preparations, extracts, and active monomers) can treat CVD through various pharmacological mechanisms and signaling pathways by inducing mitophagy. They represent a hotspot for future cardiovascular basic research and a promising candidate for the development of future cardiovascular drugs with fewer side effects and better therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease, often leads to numerous chronic complications, significantly contributing to global morbidity and mortality rates. High glucose levels trigger epigenetic modifications linked to pathophysiological processes like inflammation, immunity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, senescence and various kinds of cell death. Despite glycemic control, transient hyperglycemia can persistently harm organs, tissues, and cells, a latent effect termed "metabolic memory" that contributes to chronic diabetic complications. Understanding metabolic memory's mechanisms could offer a new approach to mitigating these complications. However, key molecules and networks underlying metabolic memory remain incompletely understood. This review traces the history of metabolic memory research, highlights its key features, discusses recent molecules involved in its mechanisms, and summarizes confirmed and potential therapeutic compounds. Additionally, we outline in vitro and in vivo models of metabolic memory. We hope this work will inform future research on metabolic memory's regulatory mechanisms and facilitate the development of effective therapeutic compounds to prevent diabetic complications.

Abstract
Diabetic heart disease (DHD) is a serious complication in patients with diabetes. Despite numerous studies on the pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets of DHD, effective means of prevention and treatment are still lacking. The pathogenic mechanisms of DHD include cardiac inflammation, insulin resistance, myocardial fibrosis, and oxidative stress. Macrophages, the primary cells of the human innate immune system, contribute significantly to these pathological processes, playing an important role in human disease and health. Therefore, drugs targeting macrophages hold great promise for the treatment of DHD. In this review, we examine how macrophages contribute to the development of DHD and which drugs could potentially be used to target macrophages in the treatment of DHD.

Abstract
The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with Platycodin D (PD), a critically active compound isolated from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum, in mitigating cardiotoxicity in a murine model of type 2 diabetes-induced cardiac injury and in H9c2 cells in vitro. Following oral administration for 4 weeks, PD (2.5 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the elevation of fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, improved dyslipidemia, and effectively inhibited the rise of the cardiac injury markers creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT). PD treatment could ameliorate energy metabolism disorders induced by impaired glucose uptake by activating AMPK protein expression in the DCM mouse model, thereby promoting the GLUT4 transporter and further activating autophagy-related proteins. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated that PD exerted a concentration-dependent increase in cell viability while also inhibiting palmitic acid and glucose (HG-PA)-stimulated H9c2 cytotoxicity and activating AMPK protein expression. Notably, the AMPK activator AICAR (1 mM) was observed to upregulate the expression of AMPK in H9c2 cells after high-glucose and -fat exposure. Meanwhile, we used AMPK inhibitor Compound C (20 μM) to investigate the effect of PD activation of AMPK on cells. In addition, the molecular docking approach was employed to dock PD with AMPK, revealing a binding energy of -8.2 kcal/mol and indicating a tight interaction between the components and the target. PD could reduce the expression of autophagy-related protein p62, reduce the accumulation of autophagy products, promote the flow of autophagy, and improve myocardial cell injury. In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that PD effectively inhibits cardiac injury-induced type 2 diabetes in mice and enhances energy metabolism in HG-PA-stimulated H9c2 cells by activating the AMPK signaling pathway. These findings collectively unveil the potential cardioprotective effects of PD via modulation of the AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Serum asprosin is expected to become a screening indicator in early-stage diabetic heart disease. The relationship between serum asprosin and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was studied in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the community. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 252 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from Zhuoma Community Care Station and Chengbei West Street Community Care Service Center in Changzhi City of Shanxi Province from November 2019 to July 2021. Patients were divided into the LVDD group (n = 195) and the non-LVDD group (n = 57). The t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were used to compare indicators between the LVDD group and the non-LVDD group. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was adopted to evaluate the correlation between serum asprosin and other clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the influencing factors on LVDD. RESULTS Compared with patients without LVDD, patients with LVDD had a higher level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FPG), and asprosin, but a lower level of early diastolic movement speed (A) to diastolic movement velocity (E) (E/A). Asprosin was positively associated with waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), creatinine, triglycerides (P < 0.05), and negatively associated with E/A and high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C (P < 0.05). The risk of LVDD increased with elevated asprosin levels after adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), BMI, FPG, and LDL-C. Compared with patients in the lowest tertile of serum asprosin (<275.25 pg/mL), a serum level of asprosin between 275.25-355.08 pg/mL [OR (95% CI) is 2.368 (1.169-4.796), P < 0.05] and asprosin >355.08 pg/mL [OR (95% CI) is 2.549 (1.275-5.095), P < 0.05] patients have a higher risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Serum asprosin was positively associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and the risk of LVDD increased significantly with increased serum levels of asprosin.

Diabetologia 2024; 67:850-863. [PMID: 38413438 PMCID: PMC10954979 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-024-06109-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Type 2 diabetes mellitus is known to contribute to the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, identifying HFpEF in individuals with type 2 diabetes early on is often challenging due to a limited array of biomarkers. This study aims to investigate specific biomarkers associated with the progression of HFpEF in individuals with type 2 diabetes, for the purpose of enabling early detection and more effective management strategies. METHODS Blood samples were collected from individuals with type 2 diabetes, both with and without HFpEF, for proteomic analysis. Plasma integrin α1 (ITGA1) levels were measured and compared between the two groups. Participants were further categorised based on ITGA1 levels and underwent detailed transthoracic echocardiography at baseline and during a median follow-up period of 30 months. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analyses were conducted separately to assess the associations between plasma ITGA1 levels and changes in echocardiography indicators and re-hospitalisation risk. Additionally, proteomic data for the individuals' left ventricles, from ProteomeXchange database, were analysed to uncover mechanisms underlying the change in ITGA1 levels in HFpEF. RESULTS Individuals with type 2 diabetes and HFpEF showed significantly higher plasma ITGA1 levels than the individuals with type 2 diabetes without HFpEF. These elevated ITGA1 levels were associated with left ventricular remodelling and impaired diastolic function. Furthermore, during a median follow-up of 30 months, multivariable analysis revealed that elevated ITGA1 levels independently correlated with deterioration of both diastolic and systolic cardiac functions. Additionally, higher baseline plasma ITGA1 levels independently predicted re-hospitalisation risk (HR 2.331 [95% CI 1.387, 3.917], p=0.001). Proteomic analysis of left ventricular myocardial tissue provided insights into the impact of increased ITGA1 levels on cardiac fibrosis-related pathways and the contribution made by these changes to the development and progression of HFpEF. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION ITGA1 serves as a biomarker for monitoring cardiac structural and functional damage, can be used to accurately diagnose the presence of HFpEF, and can be used to predict potential deterioration in cardiac structure and function as well as re-hospitalisation for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Its measurement holds promise for facilitating risk stratification and early intervention to mitigate the adverse cardiovascular effects associated with diabetes. DATA AVAILABILITY The proteomic data of left ventricular myocardial tissue from individuals with type 2 diabetes, encompassing both those with and without HFpEF, is available from the ProteomeXchange database at http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org .

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an endogenous, highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite generated under hyperglycaemic conditions. MGO plays a role in developing pathophysiological conditions, including diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the mechanisms involved and the molecular targets of MGO in the heart have not been elucidated. In this work, we studied the exposure-related effects of MGO on cardiac function in an isolated perfused rat heart ex vivo model. The effect of MGO on calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes was studied in vitro by the fluorescence indicator of intracellular calcium Fluo-4. We demonstrated that MGO induced cardiac dysfunction, both in contractility and diastolic function. In rat heart, the effects of MGO treatment were significantly limited by aminoguanidine, a scavenger of MGO, ruthenium red, a general cation channel blocker, and verapamil, an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel blocker, demonstrating that this dysfunction involved alteration of calcium regulation. MGO induced a significant concentration-dependent increase of intracellular calcium in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, which was limited by aminoguanidine and verapamil. These results suggest that the functionality of various calcium channels is altered by MGO, particularly the L-type calcium channel, thus explaining its cardiac toxicity. Therefore, MGO could participate in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy through its impact on calcium homeostasis in cardiac cells.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Diabetic cardiomyopathy is defined as abnormal structure and function of the heart in the setting of diabetes, which could eventually develop heart failure and leads to the death of the patients. Although blood glucose control and medications to heart failure show beneficial effects on this disease, there is currently no specific treatment for diabetic cardiomyopathy. Over the past few decades, the pathophysiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy has been extensively studied, and an increasing number of studies pinpoint that impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism is a key mediator as well as a therapeutic target. In this review, we summarize the latest research in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy, focusing on mitochondrial damage and adaptation, altered energy substrates, and potential therapeutic targets. A better understanding of the mitochondrial energy metabolism in diabetic cardiomyopathy may help to gain more mechanistic insights and generate more precise mitochondria-oriented therapies to treat this disease.

Abstract
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) without symptoms, and heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represent the most common phenotypes of HF in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and are more common than HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in these individuals. However, diagnostic criteria for HF have changed over the years, resulting in heterogeneity in the prevalence/incidence rates reported in different studies. We aimed to give an overview of the diagnosis and epidemiology of HF in type 2 diabetes, using both a narrative and systematic review approach; we focus narratively on diagnosing (using the 2021 European Society of Cardiology [ESC] guidelines) and screening for HF in type 2 diabetes. We performed an updated (2016-October 2022) systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting the prevalence and incidence of HF subtypes in adults ≥18 years with type 2 diabetes, using echocardiographic data. Embase and MEDLINE databases were searched and data were assessed using random-effects meta-analyses, with findings presented as forest plots. From the 5015 studies found, 209 were screened using the full-text article. In total, 57 studies were included, together with 29 studies that were identified in a prior meta-analysis; these studies reported on the prevalence of LVSD (n=25 studies, 24,460 individuals), LVDD (n=65 studies, 25,729 individuals), HFrEF (n=4 studies, 4090 individuals), HFmrEF (n=2 studies, 2442 individuals) and/or HFpEF (n=8 studies, 5292 individuals), and on HF incidence (n=7 studies, 17,935 individuals). Using Hoy et al's risk-of-bias tool, we found that the studies included generally had a high risk of bias. They showed a prevalence of 43% (95% CI 37%, 50%) for LVDD, 17% (95% CI 7%, 35%) for HFpEF, 6% (95% CI 3%, 10%) for LVSD, 7% (95% CI 3%, 15%) for HFrEF, and 12% (95% CI 7%, 22%) for HFmrEF. For LVDD, grade I was found to be most prevalent. Additionally, we reported a higher incidence rate of HFpEF (7% [95% CI 4%, 11%]) than HFrEF 4% [95% CI 3%, 7%]). The evidence is limited by the heterogeneity of the diagnostic criteria over the years. The systematic section of this review provides new insights on the prevalence/incidence of HF in type 2 diabetes, unveiling a large pre-clinical target group with LVDD/HFpEF in which disease progression could be halted by early recognition and treatment.Registration PROSPERO ID CRD42022368035.

Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:1693-1710. [PMID: 38572108 PMCID: PMC10985127 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2024.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Protein tyrosine kinases (RTKs) modulate a wide range of pathophysiological events in several non-malignant disorders, including diabetic complications. To find new targets driving the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), we profiled an RTKs phosphorylation array in diabetic mouse hearts and identified increased phosphorylated fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (p-FGFR1) levels in cardiomyocytes, indicating that FGFR1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of DCM. Using primary cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cell lines, we discovered that high-concentration glucose (HG) transactivates FGFR1 kinase domain through toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and c-Src, independent of FGF ligands. Knocking down the levels of either TLR4 or c-Src prevents HG-activated FGFR1 in cardiomyocytes. RNA-sequencing analysis indicates that the elevated FGFR1 activity induces pro-inflammatory responses via MAPKs-NFκB signaling pathway in HG-challenged cardiomyocytes, which further results in fibrosis and hypertrophy. We then generated cardiomyocyte-specific FGFR1 knockout mice and showed that a lack of FGFR1 in cardiomyocytes prevents diabetes-induced cardiac inflammation and preserves cardiac function in mice. Pharmacological inhibition of FGFR1 by a selective inhibitor, AZD4547, also prevents cardiac inflammation, fibrosis, and dysfunction in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice. These studies have identified FGFR1 as a new player in driving DCM and support further testing of FGFR1 inhibitors for possible cardioprotective benefits.

Sudomotor dysfunction is associated with impaired left ventricular diastolic function in persons with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study. J Endocrinol Invest 2024; 47:973-982. [PMID: 37999892 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-023-02214-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of preserved ejection fraction heart failure has significantly increased in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an early and important manifestation of preserved ejection fraction heart failure. The onset of heart failure in persons with diabetes is associated with diabetic neuropathy. However, the relationship among sudomotor function, which is an early manifestation of small fiber neuropathy, and LV diastolic function remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the association between sudomotor function and LV diastolic function in persons with T2DM. METHODS In total, 699 persons with T2DM were enrolled and divided into three groups according to electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) assessed using the SUDOSCAN device: "no dysfunction" group (NSF), "moderate dysfunction" group (MDF), and "severe dysfunction" group (SDF). LV diastolic function was assessed using Doppler echocardiography. To evaluate the relationship between ESC and echocardiographic parameters, Pearson's correlation analysis was performed. Additionally, logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between LV diastolic function and ESC. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the performance of sudomotor function indicators in detecting impaired cardiac diastolic function. RESULTS There were 301 persons (43.06%) in the NSF group, 232 (33.19%) in the MDF group, and 166 (23.75%) in the SDF group. Compared to the NSF group, the MDF and SDF groups had higher A and E/e' and lower e' values (all p < 0.05). Pearson's correlation analysis showed that A and E/e' were negatively associated with foot ESC (FESC) and hand ESC (HESC), whereas e' was positively associated with FESC and HESC (all p < 0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, binary logistic regression analysis showed that ESC was independently associated with impaired LV diastolic function (p = 0.003). The area under the ROC curve values for FESC and HESC were 0.621 and 0.635, respectively (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Deteriorating sudomotor function was associated with reduced diastolic function indicators. ESC can be used as a biomarker for detecting LV diastolic impairment.

Abstract
The multifunctional membrane glycoprotein CD36 is expressed in different types of cells and plays a key regulatory role in cellular lipid metabolism, especially in cardiac muscle. CD36 facilitates the cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids, mediates lipid signaling, and regulates storage and oxidation of lipids in various tissues with active lipid metabolism. CD36 deficiency leads to marked impairments in peripheral lipid metabolism, which consequently impact on the cellular utilization of multiple different fuels because of the integrated nature of metabolism. The functional presence of CD36 at the plasma membrane is regulated by its reversible subcellular recycling from and to endosomes and is under the control of mechanical, hormonal, and nutritional factors. Aberrations in this dynamic role of CD36 are causally associated with various metabolic diseases, in particular insulin resistance, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac hypertrophy. Recent research in cardiac muscle has disclosed the endosomal proton pump vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) as a key enzyme regulating subcellular CD36 recycling and being the site of interaction between various substrates to determine cellular substrate preference. In addition, evidence is accumulating that interventions targeting CD36 directly or modulating its subcellular recycling are effective for the treatment of metabolic diseases. In conclusion, subcellular CD36 localization is the major adaptive regulator of cellular uptake and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids and appears a suitable target for metabolic modulation therapy to mend failing hearts.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the development of myocardial dysfunction in patients with diabetes despite the absence of comorbidities such as hypertension, atherosclerosis or valvular defect. The cardiovascular complications of poorly controlled diabetes are very well illustrated by the U.K. Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), which showed a clear association between increasing levels of glycated hemoglobin and the development of heart failure (HF). The incidence of HF in patients with diabetes is projected to increase significantly, which is why its proper diagnosis and treatment is so important. Providing appropriate therapy focusing on antidiabetic and hypolipemic treatment with the consideration of pharmacotherapy for heart failure reduces the risk of CMD and reduces the incidence of cardiovascular complications. Health-promoting changes made by patients such as a low-carbohydrate diet, regular exercise and weight reduction also appear to be important in achieving appropriate outcomes. New hope for the development of therapies for DCM is offered by novel methods using stem cells and miRNA, which, however, require more thorough research to confirm their efficacy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can cause severe cardiac complications at functional, histologic and molecular levels. These pathological complications could be mediated by ATP-releasing channels such as Panx1 and ATP receptors, in particular P2X7. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on T2D-induced cardiac complications at the functional, histopathological and molecular levels, with a particular focus on ATP-releasing channels. 48 male Wistar rats at the age of 8 weeks were randomly allocated into four groups: control (Con), Diabetes (T2D), Training (TR), and Diabetes + Training (T2D + TR). T2D was induced by a high-fat diet plus a low dose (35 mg/kg) of STZ administration. Rats in the TR and T2D + TR groups underwent an 8-weeks training program involving intervals ranging from 80 to 100% of their maximum running speed (Vmax), with 4-10 intervals per session. Protein expression of Interleukin 1β (IL1β), Interleukin 10 (IL-10), Pannexin 1 (Panx1), P2X7R (purinergic P2X receptor 7), NLRP1 (NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 1), BAX, and Bcl2 were measured in the heart tissue. Additionally, we assessed heart function, histopathological changes, as well as insulin resistance using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). In contrast to the T2D group, HIIT led to increased protein expression of Bcl2 and IL-10 in the heart. It also resulted in improvements in systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, ± dp/dt (maximum and minimum changes in left ventricular pressure), while reducing protein expression of IL-1β, Panx1, P2X7R, NLRP1, and BAX levels in the heart. Furthermore, left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) was reduced (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, heart lesion scores increased with T2D but decreased with HIIT, along with a reduction in fibrosis percentage (P ≤ 0.05). The results of this study suggest that the cardioprotective effects of HIIT on the diabetic heart may be mediated by the modulation of ATP-releasing channels. This modulation may lead to a reduction in inflammation and apoptosis, improve cardiac function, and attenuate cardiac injury and fibrosis.

Effect of liraglutide on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37432. [PMID: 38489694 PMCID: PMC10939689 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liraglutide widely utilized in type 2 diabetes treatment, has elicited conflicting findings regarding its impact on cardiac function in patients with this condition. Therefore, The objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on cardiac function in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We identified double-blind randomized trials assessing the effects of liraglutide compared to placebo on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Data were synthesized with the fixed-effect models to generate standard mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of each outcome for liraglutide versus placebo. The risk of bias would be assessed according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, while meta-analysis would be conducted using Revman 5.3.0 software. The evidence was graded based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. RESULTS The meta-analysis encompassed 5 RCTs including 220 participants. Results revealed that liraglutide exhibited significant enhancements in left ventricular ejection fraction [SMD = -0.38, 95%CI(-0.70, -0.06), P = .02], cardiac index [SMD = -1.05, 95%CI(-1.52, -0.59), P < .0001], stroke volume [SMD = -0.67, 95%CI(-1.02, -0.32), P = .0002] and early diastolic filling velocity/late atrial filling velocity ratio [SMD = -0.52, 95%CI(-0.82, -0.22), P = .0006]. However, no statistically significant impact on cardiac output [SMD = -0.20, 95%CI(-0.53, 0.14), P = .26], early diastolic filling velocity/early diastolic annular velocity (E/Ea) ratio [SMD = -0.34, 95%CI(-0.75, 0.06), P = .10] and early diastolic filling velocity/early diastolic mitral annular velocity ratio [SMD = 0.21, 95%CI(-0.15, 0.56), P = .25] was observed. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation evidence quality ratings indicated that all the outcome measures included in this study were evaluated as having low and very low quality. CONCLUSION The available evidence suggested that liraglutide may exert a favorable impact on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Consequently, the utilization of liraglutide as a preventive measure against heart failure incidents in individuals with type 2 diabetes represents a promising strategy. However, robust evidence support requires the conduct of large-scale, multicenter high-quality RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) and diabetes are associated with increased incidence and worse prognosis of each other. The prognostic value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has not been established in HF patients with diabetes. METHODS In this prospective, observational study, consecutive patients (n = 315) with HF underwent CMR at 3T, including GLS, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), native T1, and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping. Plasma biomarker concentrations were measured including: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T(hs-TnT), growth differentiation factor 15(GDF-15), soluble ST2(sST2), and galectin 3(Gal-3). The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalisation. RESULTS Compared to those without diabetes (n = 156), the diabetes group (n = 159) had a higher LGE prevalence (76 vs. 60%, p < 0.05), higher T1 (1285±42 vs. 1269±42ms, p < 0.001), and higher ECV (30.5±3.5 vs. 28.8±4.1%, p < 0.001). The diabetes group had higher NT-pro-BNP, hs-TnT, GDF-15, sST2, and Gal-3. Diabetes conferred worse prognosis (hazard ratio (HR) 2.33 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.43-3.79], p < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression analysis including clinical markers and plasma biomarkers, sST2 alone remained independently associated with the primary outcome (HR per 1 ng/mL 1.04 [95% CI 1.02-1.07], p = 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression models in the diabetes group, both GLS and sST2 remained prognostic (GLS: HR 1.12 [95% CI 1.03-1.21], p = 0.01; sST2: HR per 1 ng/mL 1.03 [95% CI 1.00-1.06], p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Compared to HF patients without diabetes, those with diabetes have worse plasma and CMR markers of fibrosis and a more adverse prognosis. GLS by CMR is a powerful and independent prognostic marker in HF patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetic macroangiopathy, a prevalent and severe complication of diabetes mellitus, significantly contributes to the increased morbidity and mortality rates among affected individuals. This complex disorder involves multifaceted molecular mechanisms that lead to the dysfunction and damage of large blood vessels, including atherosclerosis (AS) and peripheral arterial disease. Understanding the intricate pathways underlying the development and progression of diabetic macroangiopathy is crucial for the development of effective therapeutic interventions. This review aims to shed light on the molecular mechanism implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy. We delve into the intricate interplay of chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and dysregulated angiogenesis, all of which contribute to the vascular complications observed in this disorder. By exploring the molecular mechanism involved in the disease we provide insight into potential therapeutic targets and strategies. Moreover, we discuss the current therapeutic approaches used for treating diabetic macroangiopathy, including glycemic control, lipid-lowering agents, and vascular interventions.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is increasing at an alarming rate, primary due to the rising in aging, obesity and diabetes. Notably, individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face a significantly elevated risk of HF, leading to more hospitalizations and increased case fatality rates. Several risk factors contribute to HF in T1D, including poor glycemic control, female gender, smoking, hypertension, elevated BMI, and albuminuria. However, early and intensive glycemic control can mitigate the long-term risk of HF in individuals with T1D. The pathophysiology of diabetes-associated HF is complex and multifactorial, and the underlying mechanisms in T1D remain incompletely elucidated. In terms of treatment, much of the evidence comes from type 2 diabetes (T2D) populations, so applying it to T1D requires caution. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have shown benefits in HF outcomes, even in non-diabetic populations. However, most of the information about HF and the evidence from cardiovascular safety trials related to glucose lowering medications refer to T2D. Glycemic control is key, but the link between hypoglycemia and HF hospitalization risk requires further study. Glycemic variability, common in T1D, is an independent HF risk factor. Technological advances offer the potential to improve glycemic control, including glycemic variability, and may play a role in preventing HF. In summary, HF in T1D is a complex challenge with unique dimensions. This review focuses on HF in individuals with T1D, exploring its epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial for developing tailored prevention and management strategies for this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) is a form of Stage B heart failure (HF) at high risk for progression to overt disease. Using baseline characteristics of study participants from the Aldose Reductase Inhibition for Stabilization of Exercise Capacity in Heart Failure (ARISE-HF) Trial we sought to characterize clinical characteristics of individuals with findings consistent with DbCM. METHODS Among study participants meeting inclusion criteria, clinical characteristics, laboratory testing, imaging, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), Physical Activity Scale of the Elderly (PASE) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) results were tabulated. Cluster phenogroups were identified. RESULTS Among 691 study participants (mean age 67.4 years; 50% were female), mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 14.5 years. The median (Q1, Q3) N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide and high sensitivity cardiac troponin T were 71 (35, 135) ng/L and 9 [6, 12] ng/L. The most common echocardiographic abnormalities were reduced global longitudinal strain in 25.3% and impaired diastolic relaxation in 17.7%. Despite rather well-preserved KCCQ scores the average PASE score was markedly impaired at 155 accompanied by an average maximal oxygen consumption of 15.7 mL/Kg/minute on CPET. In K-means clustering, 4 phenogroups were identified including a higher-risk group with more advanced age, greater elevation of cardiac biomarkers, and more prevalent evidence for diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS Baseline data from the ARISE-HF Trial provide clinical characterization of individuals with T2DM and features of stage B HF, and may help clarify the diagnosis of DbCM.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of general control non-derepressible 2 (GCN2) on osteoarthritis (OA) in vivo and in vitro. First, anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced rat model and interleukin (IL)-1β-induced ATDC5 chondrocyte were established. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and safranin O/fast green staining were employed for analyzing the histological changes in the rat cartilage. In addition, immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, and immunofluorescence staining were employed for examining cartilage degeneration-, inflammation-, autophagy-, and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-associated genes expression. Moreover, 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein acetoacetic acid probe was utilized for examining the intracellular reactive oxygen species. In addition, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay and flow cytometry were applied for detecting chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis IL-1β-treated ATDC5 chondrocytes. GCN2 overexpression ameliorated articular cartilage degeneration and inflammation but promoted chondrocyte autophagy in ACLT-induced OA rats. Similarly, we demonstrated that the upregulation of GCN2 could promote chondrocyte proliferation, suppress chondrocyte apoptosis, attenuate chondrocyte inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation, and promote chondrocyte autophagy. Moreover, GCN2 overexpression could inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in IL-1β-induced ATDC5 chondrocyte. Furthermore, 3-methyladenine neutralized the protective and autophagy-promoting effects of GCN2 overexpression on ATDC5 chondrocytes. GCN2 could attenuate inflammation and cartilage degeneration, promote chondrocyte autophagy, and inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation in OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of the coexistence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on clinical profiles, myocardial fibrosis, and outcomes remain incompletely understood. METHOD A total of 1152 patients diagnosed with non-ischemic DCM were prospectively enrolled from June 2012 to October 2021 and categorized into T2DM and non-T2DM groups. Clinical characteristics, cardiac function, and myocardial fibrosis evaluated by CMR were compared between the two groups. The primary endpoint included both all-cause mortality and heart transplantation. Cause of mortality was classified into heart failure death, sudden cardiac death, and non-cardiac death. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed to identify the association between T2DM and clinical outcomes. Propensity score matching (PSM) cohort including 438 patients was analyzed to reduce the bias from confounding covariates. RESULTS Among the 1152 included DCM patients, 155 (13%) patients had T2DM. Patients with T2DM were older (55 ± 12 vs. 47 ± 14 years, P < 0.001), had higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (P = 0.003), higher prevalence of hypertension (37% vs. 21%, P < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (31% vs. 16%, P < 0.001), lower left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) (23 ± 9% vs. 27 ± 12%, P < 0.001), higher late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) presence (55% vs. 45%, P = 0.02), and significantly elevated native T1 (1323 ± 81ms vs. 1305 ± 73ms, P = 0.01) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) (32.7 ± 6.3% vs. 31.3 ± 5.9%, P = 0.01) values. After a median follow-up of 38 months (interquartile range: 20-57 months), 239 patients reached primary endpoint. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with T2DM had worse clinical outcomes compared with those without T2DM in the overall cohort (annual events rate: 10.2% vs. 5.7%, P < 0.001). T2DM was independently associated with an increased risk of primary endpoint in the overall (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.13-2.33, P = 0.01) and PSM (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.05-2.24, P = 0.02) cohorts. Furthermore, T2DM was associated with a higher risk of heart failure death (P = 0.006) and non-cardiac death (P = 0.02), but not sudden cardiac death (P = 0.16). CONCLUSIONS Patients with T2DM represented a more severe clinical profile and experienced more adverse outcomes compared to those without T2DM in a large DCM cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) without subsequent overt diabetes and long-term all-cause and cardiac mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 10,327 women (weighted population: 132,332,187) with a pregnancy history from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007 to 2018). Participants were divided into three groups (GDM alone, overt diabetes, and no diabetes). Mortality data was linked from the National Death Index up to December 31, 2019. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to examine the association between GDM alone and overt diabetes with all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. Data analysis was performed from October 2022 to April 2023. RESULTS Among the participants, 510 (weighted 5.3%) had GDM alone and 1862 (weighted 14.1%) had overt diabetes. Over a median follow-up period of 6.7 years (69,063 person-years), there were 758 deaths. The GDM group did not show an increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.67; 95% CI, 0.25-1.84), while the overt diabetes group had a significantly higher risk (HR 1.95; 95% CI, 1.62-2.35). Similarly, the GDM group did not exhibit an elevated risk of cardiac mortality (HR 1.48; 95% CI, 0.50-4.39), whereas the overt diabetes group had a significantly higher risk (HR 2.37; 95% CI, 1.69-3.32). Furthermore, sensitivity analysis focusing on women aged 50 or above showed that the HR of GDM history for all-cause mortality was 1.14 (95% CI, 0.33-3.95) and the HR for cardiac mortality was 1.74 (95% CI, 0.49-6.20). CONCLUSIONS GDM alone was not associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiac mortality, while overt diabetes was significantly associated with both types of mortality.

J Cell Physiol 2024; 239:e31149.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders and oxidative stress are the main causes of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) exerts a powerful antioxidant effect and prevents the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the mechanism of its cardiac protection and direct action on cardiomyocytes are not well understood. Here, we investigated in a cardiomyocyte-restricted Nrf2 transgenic mice (Nrf2-TG) the direct effect of Nrf2 on cardiomyocytes in DCM and its mechanism. In this study, cardiomyocyte-restricted Nrf2 transgenic mice (Nrf2-TG) were used to directly observe whether cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Nrf2 can prevent diabetic cardiomyopathy and correct glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in the heart. Compared to wild-type mice, Nrf2-TG mice showed resistance to diabetic cardiomyopathy in a streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mouse model. This was primarily manifested as improved echocardiography results as well as reduced myocardial fibrosis, cardiac inflammation, and oxidative stress. These results showed that Nrf2 can directly act on cardiomyocytes to exert a cardioprotective role. Mechanistically, the cardioprotective effects of Nrf2 depend on its antioxidation activity, partially through improving glucose and lipid metabolism by directly targeting lipid metabolic pathway of AMPK/Sirt1/PGC-1α activation via upstream genes of sestrin2 and LKB1, and indirectly enabling AKT/GSK-3β/HK-Ⅱ activity via AMPK mediated p70S6K inhibition.

Diabetes mellitus is associated to high-risk late gadolinium enhancement and worse outcomes in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:35. [PMID: 38245750 PMCID: PMC10800059 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02127-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure. Our aim was to analyze the clinical and imaging features of patients with DM and their association with outcomes in comparison to nondiabetic patients in a cohort of patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS This is a prospective cohort study of patients with DCM evaluated in a tertiary care center from 2018 to 2021. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance findings were assessed. A high-risk late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) pattern was defined as epicardial, transmural, or septal plus free-wall. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure hospitalizations and all-cause mortality. Multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of DM on outcomes. RESULTS We studied 192 patients, of which 51 (26.6%) had DM. The median left ventricular ejection fraction was 30%, and 106 (55.2%) had LGE. No significant differences were found in systolic function parameters between patients with and without DM. E/e values were higher (15 vs. 11.9, p = 0.025), and both LGE (68.6% vs. 50.4%; p = 0.025) and a high-risk LGE pattern (31.4% vs. 18.5%; p = 0.047) were more frequently found in patients with DM. The primary outcome occurred more frequently in diabetic patients (41.2% vs. 23.6%, p = 0.017). DM was an independent predictor of outcomes (OR 2.01; p = 0.049) and of LGE presence (OR 2.15; p = 0.048) in the multivariable analysis. Patients with both DM and LGE had the highest risk of events (HR 3.1; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION DM is related to a higher presence of LGE in DCM patients and is an independent predictor of outcomes. Patients with DM and LGE had a threefold risk of events. A multimodality imaging approach allows better risk stratification of these patients and may influence therapeutic options.

Effect of short-term cardiac function changes after cardiac resynchronization therapy on long-term prognosis in heart failure patients with and without diabetes. Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2024; 15:20406223231223285. [PMID: 38250742 PMCID: PMC10798070 DOI: 10.1177/20406223231223285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The relationship between short-term cardiac function changes and long-term outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains uncertain, especially when stratified by diabetes status. Objectives This study aims to assess the association between short-term cardiac function changes and outcomes such as all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization in patients undergoing CRT, stratified by diabetes status. Design This is a cohort longitudinal retrospective study. Methods A total of 666 HF patients, treated with CRT between March 2007 and March 2019, were included in this study. Among them, 166 patients (24.9%) were diagnosed with diabetes. Cardiac function was assessed at baseline and again at 6 months, incorporating evaluations of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left atrial diameter (LAD), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and QRS duration. The QRS duration represents the time required for a stimulus to spread through the ventricles (ventricular depolarization). The primary endpoints of the study were all-cause mortality and HF-related hospitalization. Results During a median follow-up of 2.51 years, 172 (25.8%) patients died and 197 (29.6%) were hospitalized for HF. Changes in LVEF, LVEDD, and LAD within 6 months had similar effects on adverse outcomes in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. However, the presence of diabetes significantly modified the association between changes in NT-proBNP and QRS duration and adverse outcomes. Short-term changes in NT-proBNP and QRS duration were positively associated with all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization in patients without diabetes. However, the relationship between short-term changes in NT-proBNP and QRS duration and adverse outcomes was non-linear in diabetic patients. Conclusion Improvement of cardiac function after CRT implantation can reduce long-term risk of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization in HF patients. However, the presence of diabetes may affect the association between short-term changes in NT-proBNP and QRS duration and adverse outcomes.

JMIR Public Health Surveill 2024; 10:e46450.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common initial manifestations of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although smoking is an independent risk factor for HF, there is a lack of data for the incidence of HF according to changes in smoking behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the association between interval changes in smoking behavior and the risk of HF among patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Health Insurance Service database. We identified 365,352 current smokers with type 2 diabetes who had 2 consecutive health screenings (2009-2012) and followed them until December 31, 2018, for the incident HF. Based on smoking behavior changes between 2 consecutive health screenings, participants were categorized into quitter, reducer I (≥50% reduction) and II (<50% reduction), sustainer (reference group), and increaser groups. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.1 (IQR 4.0-6.1) years, there were 13,879 HF cases (7.8 per 1000 person-years). Compared to sustainers, smoking cessation was associated with lower risks of HF (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.90, 95% CI0.86-0.95), whereas increasers showed higher risks of HF than sustainers; heavy smokers who increased their level of smoking had a higher risk of HF (aHR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04-1.24). In the case of reducers, the risk of HF was not reduced but rather increased slightly (reducer I: aHR 1.14, 95% CI 1.08-1.21; reducer II: aHR 1.03, 95% CI 0.98-1.09). Consistent results were noted for subgroup analyses including type 2 diabetes severity, age, and sex. CONCLUSIONS Smoking cessation was associated with a lower risk of HF among patients with type 2 diabetes, while increasing smoking amount was associated with a higher risk for HF than in those sustaining their smoking amount. There was no benefit from reduction in smoking amount.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a myocardial disorder that is characterised by structural and functional abnormalities of the heart muscle in the absence of hypertension, valvular heart disease, congenital heart defects, or coronary artery disease (CAD). After witnessing a particular form of cardiomyopathy in diabetic individuals, Rubler et al. came up with the moniker diabetic cardiomyopathy in 1972. Four stages of DCM are documented, and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Stage and New York Heart Association Class for HF have some overlap. Diabetes is linked to several distinct forms of heart failure. Around 40% of people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have diabetes, which is thought to be closely associated with the pathophysiology of HFpEF. Diabetes and HF are uniquely associated in a bidirectional manner. When compared to the general population without diabetes, those with diabetes have a risk of heart failure that is up to four times higher. A biomarker is a trait that is reliably measured and assessed as a predictor of healthy biological activities, pathological processes, or pharmacologic responses to a clinical treatment. Several biomarker values have been discovered to be greater in patients with diabetes than in control subjects among those who have recently developed heart failure. Myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy are the primary characteristics of DCM, and structural alterations in the diabetic myocardium are often examined by non-invasive, reliable, and reproducible procedures. An invasive method called endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is most often used to diagnose many cardiac illnesses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to result in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis, and ischemic/nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (ICM/NIDCM). However, less is known about the prognostic value of T2DM on LV longitudinal function and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) assessed with cardiac MRI in ICM/NIDCM patients. PURPOSE To measure LV longitudinal function and myocardial scar in ICM/NIDCM patients with T2DM and to determine their prognostic values. STUDY TYPE Retrospective cohort. POPULATION Two hundred thirty-five ICM/NIDCM patients (158 with T2DM and 77 without T2DM). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3T; steady-state free precession cine; phase-sensitive inversion recovery segmented gradient echo LGE sequences. ASSESSMENT Global peak longitudinal systolic strain rate (GLPSSR) was evaluated to LV longitudinal function with feature tracking. The predictive value of GLPSSR was determined with ROC curve. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured. The primary adverse cardiovascular endpoint was follow up every 3 months. STATISTICAL TESTS Mann-Whitney U test or student's t-test; Intra and inter-observer variabilities; Kaplan-Meier method; Cox proportional hazards analysis (threshold = 5%). RESULTS ICM/NIDCM patients with T2DM exhibited significantly lower absolute value of GLPSSR (0.39 ± 0.14 vs. 0.49 ± 0.18) and higher proportion of LGE positive (+) despite similar LV ejection fraction, compared to without T2DM. LV GLPSSR was able to predict primary endpoint (AUC 0.73) and optimal cutoff point was 0.4. ICM/NIDCM patients with T2DM (GLPSSR < 0.4) had more markedly impaired survival. Importantly, this group (GLPSSR < 0.4, HbA1c ≥ 7.8%, or LGE (+)) exhibited the worst survival. In multivariate analysis, GLPSSR, HbA1c, and LGE (+) significantly predicted primary adverse cardiovascular endpoint in overall ICM/NIDCM and ICM/NIDCM patients with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS T2DM has an additive deleterious effect on LV longitudinal function and myocardial fibrosis in ICM/NIDCM patients. Combining GLPSSR, HbA1c, and LGE could be promising markers in predicting outcomes in ICM/NIDCM patients with T2DM. EVIDENCE LEVEL 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: 5.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) is characterized by subclinical abnormalities in cardiac structure/function and is associated with a higher risk of overt heart failure (HF). However, there are limited data on optimal strategies to identify individuals with DbCM in contemporary health systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of DbCM in a health system using existing data from the electronic health record (EHR). METHODS Adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with available data on HF risk in a single-center EHR were included. The presence of DbCM was defined using different definitions: (1) least restrictive: ≥1 echocardiographic abnormality (left atrial enlargement, left ventricle hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction); (2) intermediate restrictive: ≥2 echocardiographic abnormalities; (3) most restrictive: 3 echocardiographic abnormalities. DbCM prevalence was compared across age, sex, race, and ethnicity-based subgroups, with differences assessed using the chi-squared test. Adjusted logistic regression models were constructed to evaluate significant predictors of DbCM. RESULTS Among 1921 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the prevalence of DbCM in the overall cohort was 8.7% and 64.4% in the most and least restrictive definitions, respectively. Across all definitions, older age and Hispanic ethnicity were associated with a higher proportion of DbCM. Females had a higher prevalence than males only in the most restrictive definition. In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression, higher systolic blood pressure, higher creatinine, and longer QRS duration were associated with a higher risk of DbCM across all definitions. CONCLUSIONS In this single-center, EHR cohort, the prevalence of DbCM varies from 9% to 64%, with a higher prevalence with older age and Hispanic ethnicity.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that regulate physical, mental, and behavioural changes of most living organisms. In the heart, circadian rhythms regulate processes such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood coagulability, and vascular tone. However, in addition to regulating physiologic processes, circadian rhythms regulate pathophysiologic processes in the heart. In this regard, circadian rhythms regulate the onset, severity, and outcome of many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity, and heart failure. Notably, the underlying mechanism of many of these diseases is linked to impaired cellular quality control processes, such as autophagy. Autophagy is a homeostatic cellular process that regulates the removal of damaged cellular components, allowing their degradation and recycling into their basic constituents for production of cellular energy. Many studies from recent years point to a regulatory link between autophagy and circadian machinery in the control of CVDs. In this review, we highlight the recent discoveries in the field of circadian-induced autophagy in the heart and provide the molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways that underlie the crosstalk between autophagy and clock gene control in response to cardiac injury. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie circadian-induced autophagy in response to cardiac stress may prove to be beneficial in developing novel therapeutic approaches to treat cardiac disease.

Abstract
Heart Failure (HF) constitutes a significant burden for healthcare around the world. In Greenland, risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and obesity are prevalent. Yet, the prevalence of HF remains unexplored. This register-based cross-sectional study uses data from the national medical record in Greenland to estimate the age- and gender-specific prevalence of HF and to describe the characteristics of patients with HF in Greenland. A total of 507 patients (26% women) with a mean age of 65 years were included based on a diagnosis of HF. The overall prevalence was 1.1% and higher among men compared to women (1.6% vs. 0.6%, p < 0.05). The highest prevalence was among men above 84 years (11.1%). More than half (53%) had a body mass index above 30 kg/m2 and 43% were current daily smokers. The proportion diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was 33%. The overall prevalence of HF in Greenland is consistent with that in other high-income countries, yet high among men in some age groups, compared to Danish men. Almost half the patients were obese and/or smokers. A low prevalence of IHD was observed indicating that other factors may play a role in developing HF among Greenlanders.

[PMID: 38027163 PMCID: PMC10655238 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1294909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a surrogate indicator of insulin resistance. However, the association of TyG-BMI with heart failure (HF) in individuals with diabetes mellitus or prediabetes mellitus is unknown. Methods This study included 7,472 participants aged 20-80 years old with prediabetes or diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2018). The TyG-BMI was calculated as Ln [triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2] × BMI, and individuals were categorized into tertiles based on TyG-BMI levels. The relationship of TyG-BMI with HF was analyzed using multiple logistic regression models. Subgroup analyses were stratified by gender, age, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus status. Results This cross-sectional study had 7,472 participants (weighted n = 111,808,357), including 329 HF participants. Participants with a high TyG-BMI were prone to HF. The highest tertile group with a fully adjusted model was more likely to have HF compared to the lowest tertile group (odds ratio [OR], 2.645; 95% CI, 1.529-4.576). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a significant dose-response relationship between TyG-BMI and HF (P < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, similar results were seen in terms of age (≥50 years old), gender, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus status. Conclusion A high TyG-BMI is significantly associated with HF risk in participants with diabetes mellitus or prediabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a pathological wound-healing mechanism that results by the overactivation of fibroblasts. Fibrosis can become obstructive and deleterious during regeneration of various body tissues including cardiac muscle. This ultimately results in the development of cardiac fibrosis, characterized by an excessive buildup of extracellular matrix proteins. Thus, it could lead to arrhythmias and heart failure which creates a leading public health burden worldwide. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs with great potential for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Mounting evidence indicates that miRNAs are involved in the deregulation of tissue homeostasis during myocardial fibrosis. For instance, miRNAs that are implicated in the regulation of TGF-beta signaling pathway have been reported to be significantly altered in myocardial fibrosis. Accordingly, in this comprehensive review, we discuss and highlight recent available data on the role of miRNAs during myocardial fibrosis, providing valuable insights into the miRNA modulation of cardiac fibrosis and miRNAs targets that can be used in the future therapeutic interventions to cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
A significant cardiac complication of diabetes is cardiomyopathy, a form of ventricular dysfunction that develops independently of coronary artery disease, hypertension and valvular diseases, which may subsequently lead to heart failure. Several structural features underlie the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy and eventual diabetes-induced heart failure. Pathological cardiac fibrosis (interstitial and perivascular), in addition to capillary rarefaction and myocardial apoptosis, are particularly noteworthy. Sex differences in the incidence, development and presentation of diabetes, heart failure and interstitial myocardial fibrosis have been identified. Nevertheless, therapeutics specifically targeting diabetes-associated cardiac fibrosis remain lacking and treatment approaches remain the same regardless of patient sex or the co-morbidities that patients may present. This review addresses the observed anti-fibrotic effects of newer glucose-lowering therapies and traditional cardiovascular disease treatments, in the diabetic myocardium (from both preclinical and clinical contexts). Furthermore, any known sex differences in these treatment effects are also explored.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with a significantly elevated risk of heart failure. However, despite extensive efforts to characterize the phenotype of the diabetic heart, the molecular and cellular protagonists that underpin cardiac pathological remodeling in diabetes remain unclear, with a notable paucity of data regarding the impact of diabetes on non-myocytes within the heart. Here we aimed to define key differences in cardiac non-myocytes between spontaneously type-2 diabetic (db/db) and healthy control (db/h) mouse hearts. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed a concerted diabetes-induced cellular response contributing to cardiac remodeling. These included cell-specific activation of gene programs relating to fibroblast hyperplasia and cell migration, and dysregulation of pathways involving vascular homeostasis and protein folding. This work offers a new perspective for understanding the cellular mediators of diabetes-induced cardiac pathology, and pathways that may be targeted to address the cardiac complications associated with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has been shown to be independently associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate changes in left ventricular (LV) microvascular perfusion and myocardial deformation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without DPN, as well as to investigate the association between myocardial perfusion and LV deformation. METHODS Between October 2015 and July 2022, one hundred and twenty-three T2DM patients without DPN, fifty-four patients with DPN and sixty age‑ and sex‑matched controls who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging were retrospectively analyzed. LV myocardial perfusion parameters at rest, including upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), max signal intensity (max SI), and myocardial strains, including global radial, circumferential and longitudinal strain (GRS, GCS and GLS, respectively), were calculated and compared among the groups with One‑way analysis of variance. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to explore the independent factors influencing LV myocardial perfusion indices and LV strains in diabetes. RESULTS The LV GLS, upslope and max SI were significantly deteriorated from controls, through patients without DPN, to patients with DPN (all P < 0.001). Compared with controls, TTM was increased and LV GRS and GCS were decreased in both patient groups (all P < 0.05). Multivariable regression analyses considering covariates showed that DPN was independently associated with reduced upslope, max SI and LV GLS (β = - 0.360, - 2.503 and 1.113, p = 0.021, 0.031 and 0.010, respectively). When the perfusion indices upslope and max SI were included in the multivariable analysis for LV deformation, DPN and upslope (β = 1.057 and - 0.870, p = 0.020 and 0.018, respectively) were significantly associated with LV GLS. CONCLUSION In patients with T2DM, there was more severe LV microvascular and myocardial dysfunction in patients with complicated DPN, and deteriorated subclinical LV systolic dysfunction was associated with impaired myocardial circulation.

Metformin suppresses cardiac fibroblast proliferation under high-glucose conditions via regulating the mitochondrial complex I protein Grim-19 involved in the Sirt1/Stat3 signaling pathway. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 206:1-12.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia associated with myocardial oxidative stress and fibrosis is the main cause of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Currently, no approved drug is available for preventing or treating diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis. Metformin has been reported to improve glycemic control and ameliorate diabetic cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanism of metformin on diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis and high glucose-induced proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). In this study, db/db mice were treated with metformin [250 mg/kg⋅d, gavage]. CFs were cultured in high-glucose medium to mimic an in vitro diabetes model and then subjected to treatment with or without metformin. Cardiac fibrosis was analyzed using immunohistochemistry, Masson's trichrome staining, and Western blot analysis. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays and cell colony formation assays were used to examine cell proliferation capacity. Transwell and scratch-wound assays were used to detect the migration ability of CFs. Retinoid-interferon-induced mortality-19 (Grim-19), sirtuin1 (Sirt1), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) were detected using Western blot analysis. The genes downstream of the Stat3 pathway were detected using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT‒PCR). Metformin treatment markedly attenuated cardiac fibrosis in db/db mice and the proliferation and migration of CFs under high-glucose conditions. Mechanistically, we found an intersection between metformin and Grim-19 using bioinformatics. Metformin was found to suppress the expression of p-Stat3 and elevate the expression of mitochondrial complex I protein Grim-19 and Sirt1, thus inhibiting the proliferation and migration of CFs under high-glucose conditions. Our data suggested that metformin inhibited the proliferation and migration of CFs by regulating the expression of mitochondrial complex I Grim-19 protein involved in the Sirt1/Stat3 signaling pathway under high-glucose conditions, thus providing new ideas for treating diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that remains widely under-recognized. Multidisciplinary management protocols for patients with concurrent DM and HF are not widely utilized in the Middle East/Gulf region, particularly in the United Arab Emirates. Since early identification of patients with DM and HF will likely lead to initiation of therapies known to prevent adverse cardiovascular events and subsequently improve patient prognosis, we aim to highlight the importance of early recognition of HF in diabetic patients. We will also describe existing management challenges in the region, especially the lack of multidisciplinary care and emphasize the role of newer anti-diabetic therapies in preventing and treating HF. Most importantly, this call-to-action proposes a collaborative approach to the care of diabetic patients with HF involving primary care physicians, endocrinologists, and cardiologists.

Abstract
Heart disease is a worldwide health menace. Both intractable primary and secondary cardiomyopathies contribute to malignant cardiac dysfunction and mortality. One of the key cellular processes associated with cardiomyopathy is cardiomyocyte death. Cardiomyocytes are terminally differentiated cells with very limited regenerative capacity. Various insults can lead to irreversible damage of cardiomyocytes, contributing to progression of cardiac dysfunction. Accumulating evidence indicates that majority of cardiomyocyte death is executed by regulating molecular pathways, including apoptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. Importantly, these forms of regulated cell death (RCD) are cardinal features in the pathogenesis of various cardiomyopathies, including dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, and drug-induced cardiomyopathy. The relevance between abnormity of RCD with adverse outcome of cardiomyopathy has been unequivocally evident. Therefore, there is an urgent need to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms for RCD in order to better understand the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies. In this review, we summarize the latest progress from studies on RCD pathways in cardiomyocytes in context of the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies, with particular emphasis on apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis. We also elaborate the crosstalk among various forms of RCD in pathologically stressed myocardium and the prospects of therapeutic applications targeted to various cell death pathways.

Abstract
The abnormal lipid metabolism in diabetic cardiomyopathy can cause myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction, lipotoxicity, abnormal death of myocardial cells, and myocardial remodeling. Mitochondrial homeostasis and normal lipid metabolism can effectively slow down the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have shown that SIRT6 may play an important role in the pathological changes of diabetic cardiomyopathy such as myocardial cell death, myocardial hypertrophy, and myocardial fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial oxidative stress and glucose and lipid metabolism. Therefore, understanding the function of SIRT6 and its role in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy is of great significance for exploring and developing new targets and drugs for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. This article reviews the latest findings of SIRT6 in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, focusing on the regulation of mitochondria and lipid metabolism by SIRT6 to explore potential clinical treatments.

Abstract
Despite evidence of SGLT2 inhibitors in improving cardiovascular outcomes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the heterogenous mechanism and characteristic multimorbidity of HFpEF require a phenotypic approach. Metabolic phenotype, one common HFpEF phenotype, has various presentations and prognoses worldwide. We aimed to identify different phenotypes of hypertensive-diabetic HFpEF, their phenotype-related outcomes, and treatment responses. The primary endpoint was time to the first event of all-cause mortality or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF). Among 233 recruited patients, 24.9% experienced primary outcomes within 12 months. A total of 3.9% was lost to follow-up. Three phenotypes were identified. Phenotype 1 (n = 126) consisted of lean, elderly females with chronic kidney disease, anemia, and concentric hypertrophy. Phenotype 2 (n = 62) included younger males with coronary artery disease. Phenotype 3 (n = 45) comprised of obese elderly with atrial fibrillation. Phenotype 1 and 2 reported higher primary outcomes than phenotype 3 (p = 0.002). Regarding treatment responses, SGLT2 inhibitor was associated with fewer primary endpoints in phenotype 1 (p = 0.003) and 2 (p = 0.001). RAAS inhibitor was associated with fewer all-cause mortality in phenotype 1 (p = 0.003). Beta blocker was associated with fewer all-cause mortality in phenotype 1 (p = 0.024) and fewer HHF in phenotype 2 (p = 0.011). Our pioneering study supports the personalized approach to optimize HFpEF management in hypertensive-diabetic patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of liraglutide on cardiac function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The present meta-analysis aimed to identify studies testing liraglutide in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We included observational and randomized controlled trials comparing liraglutide with placebo or any other drug alone or in combination with other drugs. A comprehensive search was carried out using online databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library to find relevant studies from inception to June 30, 2023, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Key terms used to search for relevant studies included "liraglutide," "cardiac function," and "type 2 diabetes," along with their synonyms and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms. The outcomes assessed in the present meta-analysis included diastolic cardiac function and systolic cardiac function. For diastolic cardiac function, we assessed the E to A (E/A) ratio and the E to Ea (E/Ea) ratio. To assess the impact of liraglutide on systolic function, we assessed stroke volume in mL, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in %, cardiac output in L/min, and cardiac index in L/min/m². A total of seven studies were included, with a pooled sample size of 307 individuals (160 in the liraglutide group and 147 in the control group). The results indicated that liraglutide significantly reduced the E/A ratio (mean difference [MD]: -0.22, 95% CI: -0.38 to -0.06, p-value: 0.008) and E/Ea ratio (MD: -0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): -1.39 to -0.12, p-value: 0.02, suggesting a potential clinical benefit on ventricular diastolic function. However, there was no significant impact on LVEF (MD: 0.46, 95% CI: -3.13 to 4.05, p-value: 0.80), cardiac output (MD: 0.05, 95% CI: -0.39 to 0.49), cardiac index (MD: 0.07, 95% CI: -0.18 to 0.32), and stroke volume (MD: -5.34, 95% CI: -14.81 to 4.12), indicating that liraglutide did not improve systolic function.
