Abstract
The continuous emergence of drug-target interaction data provides an opportunity to construct a biological network for systematically discovering unknown interactions. However, this is challenging due to complex and heterogeneous correlations between drug and target. Here, we describe a heterogeneous hypergraph-based framework for drug-target interaction (HHDTI) predictions by modeling biological networks through a hypergraph, where each vertex represents a drug or a target and a hyperedge indicates existing similar interactions or associations between the connected vertices. The hypergraph is then trained to generate suitably structured embeddings for discovering unknown interactions. Comprehensive experiments performed on four public datasets demonstrate that HHDTI achieves significant and consistently improved predictions compared with state-of-the-art methods. Our analysis indicates that this superior performance is due to the ability to integrate heterogeneous high-order information from the hypergraph learning. These results suggest that HHDTI is a scalable and practical tool for uncovering novel drug-target interactions. A hypergraph framework to model high-order correlations in heterogenous biological network An embedding learning method for drugs and targets using hypergraphs High-order correlation between drugs and targets can contribute to DTI predictions
The prediction of drug-target interactions (DTIs) plays a crucial role in drug discovery. In this work, we discover that the high-order correlations in heterogeneous biological networks are essential for DTI predictions. The hypergraph structure is ultilized to model the high-order correlations in the biological networks, then the embeddings are generated for the drugs and targets, respectively. Finally, the interaction between them can be predicted according to the similarity of the embeddings. Our proposed method has been evaluated on multiple public datasets and the improved performance demonstrates that the high-order correlations among drugs and targets contribute significantly on DTI predictions, and other associations besides DTIs are also useful in this task. Our method can also be used in other scenarios containing complex correlations.

Association between Beta2-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists and the Risk of Vascular Complications in Diabetic Patients: A Population-Based Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8081145. [PMID: 31370361 PMCID: PMC6722988 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8081145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 07/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Beta2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonists can have protective effects targeting macrophage activation, but research on human subjects has not been done. This study was designed to assess the relationship between the use of β2AR agonists and diabetic vascular complications. Using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service, adults first diagnosed with diabetes in 2004 (n = 249,222) were followed up until 31 December 2015. Propensity score matching was performed between case and control groups (n = 5179 in each), and multivariate analysis was conducted. The β2AR agonist group was divided into quartiles according to the duration of β2AR agonist use. During the follow-up, the incidence of vascular complications gradually decreased as the duration of β2AR agonist administration increased. Multivariate analysis revealed that the hazard ratio for all composite vascular complications was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.75–0.86, p < 0.001) in the longest quartile of β2AR agonist use as compared with the control group after adjusting for confounding variables. The association between the duration of β2AR agonist use and the risk of each vascular complication including cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular, peripheral neural, renal, and ophthalmic complications was consistent, and the risks were significantly lower in the longest users than the control group. Long-term use of β2AR agonists may exert a protective effect against diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Beta-blockers are widely prescribed for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular pathologies. Compared to traditional beta-adrenergic antagonists, beta-blockers of the new generation exhibit ancillary properties such as vasodilation through different mechanisms. This translates into a more favorable hemodynamic profile. The relative affinities of beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists towards the three beta-adrenoreceptor isotypes matter for predicting their functional impact on vasomotor control. This review will focus on the mechanisms underlying beta-blocker-evoked vasorelaxation with a specific emphasis on agonist properties of beta(3)-adrenergic receptors.

Telmisartan ameliorates hyperglycemia and metabolic profile in nonobese Cohen-Rosenthal diabetic hypertensive rats via peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma activation. Metabolism 2010; 59:1200-9.

Abstract
The importance of hypertension treatment has expanded beyond blood pressure management to include additional risk factors, mainly diabetes. It was considered of interest to test the effect of telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor 1 antagonist and peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma partial agonist, on Cohen-Rosenthal diabetic hypertensive nonobese (CRDH) rats, a unique model combining both pathologies. Its effect was examined on fat-derived and inflammatory agents in CRDH. To determine the extent of the drug's peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma modulating beneficial metabolic actions, results were compared with those obtained with valsartan and rosiglitazone in CRDH and Cohen diabetic rat (CDR). Telmisartan and valsartan were given in drinking water at 3 and 12 mg/kg/d, whereas rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg/d) was given as food admixture for a period of 5 months. Blood pressure, glucose, insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and tumor necrosis factor alpha were examined. Telmisartan and valsartan significantly (P < .01) reduced blood pressure, whereas telmisartan and rosiglitazone considerably reduced blood glucose levels to normoglycemic levels (P < .01) in these 2 strains. Insulin levels were not affected by telmisartan and valsartan but were slightly reduced by rosiglitazone in CDR. In contrast to valsartan, adiponectin was significantly (60%, P < .01) increased by telmisartan in both CDR and CRDH, whereas rosiglitazone induced a 60% and 180% increase in CRDH and CDR animals, respectively, on day 30 of treatment. Co-treatment with GW9662 averted telmisartan-induced rise of adiponectin. Tumor necrosis factor alpha declined in telmisartan-treated rats, less so with rosiglitazone, but not valsartan. Telmisartan also induced downsizing of epididymal adipocytes compared with valsartan. Leptin levels were significantly increased by valsartan (P < .05) but reduced by telmisartan and rosiglitazone. The telmisartan-induced increase in adiponectin was most probably associated with a decrease in glucose and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels. Therefore, in addition to its hypotensive effect, telmisartan demonstrated beneficial thiazolidinedione-like effects.

Abstract
In the elderly, atherosclerotic diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction occupy a major part of their causes of death and care. The elderly always have atherosclerosis in their aorta and other arteries and are exposed to risk of attacks. It is the elderly who should receive its safe, harmless and advanced treatment. Advanced stage of atherosclerosis in the elderly is progressed by complicated risk factors such as dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus and specific risk factors for the elderly, aging (and menopause). Treatment of atherosclerotic disease may need special ones targeted for the elderly. Recent studies reported that frequencies of dyslipidemia were not decreased in the older oldest. In the elderly, impaired glucose tolerance occurs and it progresses atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction like impairment of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability also progresses atherosclerosis. Although we tried to regress the high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis in rabbit aorta with a normal diet with or without statin, regression could not be achieved. NO targeting gene therapy (adenovirus endothelial nitric oxide synthase [eNOS] gene vector) regressed 20% of atherosclerotic lesions through reduction of lipid contents, however, a more integrated strategy is important for complete regression. We paid attention to NO bioavailability and developed two ways of increasing it in atherosclerosis: citrulline therapy and arginase II inhibition by estrogen. Further, we found a close relation between atherosclerosis and endothelial senescence and that NO can prevent it, especially in a diabetic model. Taken together, regression of atherosclerosis can be achieved by not only regulation of various risk factors but regulation of the cross-talk of NO and free radicals.
