Potent synergistic effects of dulaglutide and food restriction in prevention of olanzapine-induced metabolic adverse effects in a rodent model. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 176:116763. [PMID: 38805968 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotics are indispensable in the treatment of severe mental illneses, however adverse metabolic effects including diabetes, weight gain, dyslipidemia, and related cardiovascular morbidity are common, and current pharmacological strategies for their management are unsatisfactory. Glucagon-like 1 peptide receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity hold promise for the management of antipsychotic-associated adverse metabolic effects. METHODS To characterize the molecular effects and identify biomarkers for GLP-1 RA preventive treatment, Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with long-acting formulations of the antipsychotic olanzapine and the GLP-1 RA dulaglutide for 8 days. A pair-feeding protocol evaluated the combined effects of dulaglutide and food restriction on an olanzapine-induced metabolic phenotype. Body weight and food consumption were recorded. Biochemical analysis included a lipid profile, a spectrum of gastrointestinal and adipose tissue-derived hormones, and fibroblast growth factor 21 serum levels. RESULTS Olanzapine induced hyperphagia, weight gain, increased serum triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. Food restriction affected the OLA-induced phenotype but not serum markers. Dulaglutide led to a modest decrease in food intake, with no effect on weight gain, and did not reverse the OLA-induced changes in serum lipid parameters. Concomitant dulaglutide and food restriction resulted in weight loss, decreased feed efficiency, and lower total and HDL cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS A combined strategy of dulaglutide and food restriction manifested a massive synergistic benefit. GLP-1RAs represent a promising strategy and deserve thorough future research. Our findings underline the potential importance of lifestyle intervention in addition to GLP-1 RA treatment.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is composed of 18 secreted signaling proteins consisting of canonical FGFs and endocrine FGFs that activate four receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFRs 1-4) and four intracellular proteins (intracellular FGFs or iFGFs) that primarily function to regulate the activity of voltage-gated sodium channels and other molecules. The canonical FGFs, endocrine FGFs, and iFGFs have been reviewed extensively by us and others. In this review, we briefly summarize past reviews and then focus on new developments in the FGF field since our last review in 2015. Some of the highlights in the past 6 years include the use of optogenetic tools, viral vectors, and inducible transgenes to experimentally modulate FGF signaling, the clinical use of small molecule FGFR inhibitors, an expanded understanding of endocrine FGF signaling, functions for FGF signaling in stem cell pluripotency and differentiation, roles for FGF signaling in tissue homeostasis and regeneration, a continuing elaboration of mechanisms of FGF signaling in development, and an expanding appreciation of roles for FGF signaling in neuropsychiatric diseases.

J Psychosom Res 2022; 156:110763. [PMID: 35193092 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2022.110763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Abnormal blood lipid levels are common in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). Previous studies have revealed lipid-mood associations in adults with BD, but no data on this relationship is available in youth populations. This cross-sectional study examined the associations of lipid levels with mood states and symptoms in a cohort of youth with BD. METHODS Participants were youth with BD and healthy controls (HCs) between the ages of 13-20 years. We compared the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and TG/HDL-C ratio between 4 participant episode groups: BD-euthymic (n = 28), BD-depressed (n = 29) BD-hypomanic/mixed (n = 31), and HCs (n = 89). We also examined for dimensional associations of lipids with mania and depression scores in the overall BD group and within BD episode subgroups. RESULTS TG levels were significantly higher in the BD-euthymic group (p = 0.008, d = 0.59) and in the BD-mixed/hypomanic group (p = 0.03, d = 0.44) compared to the HC group. TG/HDL-C ratio was also higher in the BD-euthymic group compared to the HC group (p = 0.01, d = 0.51). No dimensional associations were found between lipids and mood symptom scores in the overall BD group. However, within the BD-mixed/hypomanic subgroup, higher mania scores were associated with higher TG (β = 0.42, p = 0.04), TG/HDL-C ratio (β = 0.59, p = 0.002), and lower HDL-C (β = 0.56 p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Youth with BD demonstrate atherogenic lipid profiles. Higher atherogenic lipids were associated with hypomanic but, contrasting adult BD studies, not depressive symptoms. Future prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the temporal association between lipids and mood among youth with BD.

Sleep Misperception and Associated Factors in Patients With Anxiety-Related Disorders and Complaint of Insomnia: A Retrospective Study. Front Neurol 2022; 13:836949. [PMID: 35463154 PMCID: PMC9021819 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.836949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Data on sleep parameters by polysomnography (PSG) in patients with anxiety-related disorders are limited. Although the disturbance and risk factors of sleep misperception have been implicated in psychopathology, its role in anxiety-related disorders remains unclear. This retrospective study aimed to explore the characteristics and sleep parameters in patients with anxiety-related disorders and different sleep perception types, and to explore the associated factors for sleep misperception. Methods Patients with anxiety-related disorders who had complaint of insomnia for more than 3 months were collected at Wuhan Mental Health Center between December 2019 and July 2021. Patients underwent a two-night PSG monitoring and completed a self-reported sleep questionnaire. Behaviors were assessed using 30-item Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE-30). Patients were divided into normal sleep perception (NSP), positive sleep perception abnormality [PSPA; overestimation of total sleep time (TST) >60 min], and negative sleep perception abnormality (NSPA; underestimation of TST >60 min) groups. PSG indicators and NOSIE-30 scores were compared among groups using the one-way analysis of variance and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the associated factors for misperception index. Results The subjective and objective TST were 5.5 ± 1.9 h and 6.4 ± 1.7 h in 305 patients, respectively. Sixty-nine (22.6%) had PSPA, 80 (26.2%) had NSP, and 156 (51.1%) had NSPA. Subjective TST and objective sleep parameters were significantly different among groups. No statistical differences in NOSIE-30 subscale and total scores were observed among groups. Sex, rapid eye movement (REM)/TST (%), sleep efficiency, number of awakenings, Non-rapid eye movement of stage 2 sleep (NREM)/TST (%), REM spontaneous arousal times, sleep latency, diagnosis, social competence, and manifest psychosis were associated with sleep misperception. Conclusion Sleep misperception is common in patients with anxiety-related disorders. Various sleep perception types have different PSG profiles, but similar personal and social behaviors. These data may be helpful to conduct personalized treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the potential biomarkers for predicting depression in diabetes mellitus using support vector machine to analyze routine biochemical tests and vital signs between two groups: subjects with both diabetes mellitus and depression, and subjects with diabetes mellitus alone. Methods: Electronic medical records upon admission and biochemical tests and vital signs of 135 patients with both diabetes mellitus and depression and 187 patients with diabetes mellitus alone were identified for this retrospective study. After matching on factors of age and sex, the two groups (n = 72 for each group) were classified by the recursive feature elimination-based support vector machine, of which, the training data, validation data, and testing data were split for ranking the parameters, determine the optimal parameters, and assess classification performance. The biomarkers were identified by 10-fold cross validation. Results: The experimental results identified 8 predictive biomarkers with classification accuracy of 78%. The 8 biomarkers are magnesium, cholesterol, AST/ALT, percentage of monocytes, bilirubin indirect, triglyceride, lactic dehydrogenase, and diastolic blood pressure. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was also adopted with area under the curve being 0.72. Conclusions: Some biochemical parameters may be potential biomarkers to predict depression among the subjects with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) modulates energy metabolism and neuroendocrine stress responses. FGF21 synthesis is increased after environmental or metabolic challenges. Detailed roles of FGF21 in the control of behavioural disturbances under stressful conditions remain to be clarified. Here, we examined the roles of FGF21 in the control of behavioural changes after social defeat stress in male rodents. Central administration of FGF21 increased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive catecholaminergic cells expressing c-Fos protein, an activity marker of neurones, in the nucleus tractus solitarius and area postrema. Double in situ hybridisation showed that some catecholaminergic neurones in the dorsal medulla oblongata expressed β-Klotho, an essential co-receptor for FGF21, in male mice. Social defeat stress increased FGF21 concentrations in the plasma of male mice. FGF21-deficient male mice showed social avoidance in a social avoidance test with C57BL/6J mice (background strain of FGF21-deficient mice) and augmented immobility behaviour in a forced swimming test after social defeat stress. On the other hand, overexpression of FGF21 by adeno-associated virus vectors did not significantly change behaviours either in wild-type male mice or FGF21-deficient male mice. The present data are consistent with the view that endogenous FGF21, possibly during the developmental period, has an inhibitory action on stress-induced depression-like behaviour in male rodents.

Astaxanthin attenuates hepatic damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by up-regulating the FGF21/PGC-1α pathway. Br J Pharmacol 2020; 177:3760-3777. [PMID: 32446270 PMCID: PMC7393201 DOI: 10.1111/bph.15099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered to be one of the most common chronic liver diseases across worldwide. Astaxanthin (Ax) is a carotenoid, and beneficial effects of astaxanthin, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumour activity, have been identified. The present study aimed to elucidate the protective effect of astaxanthin against NAFLD and its underlying mechanism. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Mice were fed either a high fat or chow diet, with or without astaxanthin, for up to 12 weeks. L02 cells were treated with free fatty acids combined with different doses of astaxanthin for 48 h. Histopathology, expression of lipid metabolism, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis-related gene expression were assessed. And the function of mitochondria was also evaluated. KEY RESULTS The results indicated that astaxanthin attenuated HFD- and FFA-induced lipid accumulation and its associated oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis both in vivo and in vitro. Astaxanthin up-regulated FGF21 and PGC-1α expression in damaged hepatocytes, which suggested an unrecognized mechanism of astaxanthin on ameliorating NAFLD. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Astaxanthin attenuated hepatocyte damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in NAFLD by up-regulating FGF21/PGC-1α pathway. Our results suggest that astaxanthin may become a promising drug to treat or relieve NAFLD.

[PMID: 32267096 PMCID: PMC7722655 DOI: 10.1002/npr2.12102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental disorder characterized by extreme changes in mood polarity. It is also characterized by cognitive and metabolic dysfunctions. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an endocrine protein that has a multifaceted function such as glucose and lipid regulation in the periphery, and neuroprotection and induction of synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system. Previous studies reported inconsistent results concerning peripheral FGF21 levels in patients with BD. In this study, we compared plasma FGF21 levels between 26 patients with BD and 51 healthy controls using a human FGF21 ELISA Kit. There was no significant difference in plasma FGF21 levels between the patients and controls. We found significant positive correlations between plasma FGF21 levels and some cognitive parameters (word association and motor speed). If our results are replicated that higher peripheral FGF21 may be associated with better cognitive performance in patients with BD. We compared plasma FGF21 levels between 26 bipolar disorder patients and 51 healthy controls. Although FGF21 concentrations were not different between the patients and controls, we found significant positive correlations between the levels and some cognitive parameters.![]()
