Abstract
BACKGROUND The adiponectin is one of the rare adipokines down-regulated with obesity and protects against obesity-related disorders. Similarly, the apolipoprotein M (apoM) is expressed in adipocytes and its expression in adipose tissue is associated with metabolic health. We compared circulating apoM with adiponectin regarding their relationship with metabolic parameters and insulin sensitivity and examined their gene expression patterns in adipocytes and in the adipose tissue. METHODS Circulating apoM and adiponectin were examined in 169 men with overweight in a cross-sectional study, and 13 patients with obesity during a surgery-induced slimming program. Correlations with clinical parameters including the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were analyzed. Multiple regression analyses were performed on HOMA-IR. The APOM and ADIPOQ gene expression were measured in the adipose tissue from 267 individuals with obesity and a human adipocyte cell line. RESULTS Participants with type 2 diabetes had lower circulating adiponectin and apoM, while apoM was higher in individuals with dyslipidemia. Similar to adiponectin, apoM showed negative associations with HOMA-IR and hs-CRP (r < -0.2), and positive correlations with HDL markers (HDL-C and apoA-I, r > 0.3). Unlike adiponectin, apoM was positively associated with LDL markers (LDL-C and apoB100, r < 0.20) and negatively correlated with insulin and age (r < -0.2). The apoM was the sole negative determinant of HOMA-IR in multiple regression models, while adiponectin not contributing significantly. After surgery, the change in HOMA-IR was negatively associated with the change in circulating apoM (r = -0.71), but not with the change in adiponectin. The APOM and ADIPOQ gene expression positively correlated in adipose tissue (r > 0.44) as well as in adipocytes (r > 0.81). In adipocytes, APOM was downregulated by inflammatory factors and upregulated by adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS The apoM rises as a new partner of adiponectin regarding insulin sensitivity. At the adipose tissue level, the adiponectin may be supported by apoM to promote a healthy adipose tissue.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:208. [PMID: 38615012 PMCID: PMC11015577 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03865-4] [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: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Both conditions are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which is mediated by adipokines such as adiponectin. Adiponectin is the most abundant adipokine that has a beneficial impact on metabolic and vascular biology, while high serum concentrations are associated with some syndromes. This "adiponectin paradox" still needs to be clarified in obesity-associated hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate how adiponectin affects blood pressure, inflammation, and metabolic function in obesity hypertension using a Chinese adult case-control study. METHODS A case-control study that had finished recruiting 153 subjects divided as four characteristic groups. Adiponectin serum levels were tested by ELISA in these subjects among these four characteristic Chinese adult physical examination groups. Waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SB), diastolic blood pressure (DB), and other clinical laboratory data were collected. Analyzation of correlations between the research index and differences between groups was done by SPSS. RESULTS Serum adiponectin levels in the| normal healthy group (NH group) were significantly higher than those in the newly diagnosed untreated just-obesity group (JO group), and negatively correlated with the visceral adiposity index. With multiple linear egression analysis, it was found that, for serum adiponectin, gender, serum albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) were the significant independent correlates, and for SB, age and HDLC were the significant independent correlates, and for DB, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was the significant independent correlate. The other variables did not reach significance in the model. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that adiponectin's role in obesity-hypertension is multifaceted and is influenced by the systemic metabolic homeostasis signaling axis. In obesity-related hypertension, compensatory effects, adiponectin resistance, and reduced adiponectin clearance from impaired kidneys and liver all contribute to the "adiponectin paradox".

Adiponectin as a predictor of mortality and readmission in patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a prospective cohort study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1329417. [PMID: 38633314 PMCID: PMC11022597 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1329417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes and is inversely associated with obesity. Given the association between low body mass index (BMI) and higher mortality risk after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), we hypothesized that high adiponectin levels are associated with a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CAP. Methods In a prospective cohort study of 502 patients hospitalized with CAP, adiponectin was measured in serum at admission. The associations between adiponectin and clinical outcomes were estimated with logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, and measures of obesity (BMI, waist circumference or body fat percentage). Results Adiponectin was associated with higher 90-day mortality for each 1 μg/mL increase [OR 1.02, 95% CI (1.00, 1.04), p = 0.048] independent of age and sex. Likewise, adiponectin was associated with a higher risk of 90-day readmission for each 1 μg/mL increase [OR 1.02, 95% CI (1.01, 1.04), p = 0.007] independent of age and sex. The association between adiponectin and 90-day mortality disappeared, while the association with 90-day readmission remained after adjusting for adiposity. Conclusion Adiponectin was positively associated with mortality and readmission. The association with mortality depended on low body fat, whereas the association with readmission risk was independent of obesity.

The association of serum adiponectin level with activities of daily living in hospitalized elderly patients with heart failure. J Cardiol 2024; 83:130-137. [PMID: 37591339 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.008] [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: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported a relationship between elevated serum adiponectin levels and poor outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, data on the activities of daily living (ADL) in elderly patients with HF are limited. METHODS We evaluated 218 hospitalized elderly (≥65 years) patients with HF who underwent a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program during hospitalization. Serum adiponectin levels were measured before discharge. The Barthel index (BI) score was evaluated at discharge. Low ADL was defined as a BI score < 85. RESULTS Serum adiponectin levels were significantly associated with low ADL [p = 0.03; odds ratio (OR), 1.024, per 1.0 μg/mL increase]. In logistic or regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, high adiponectin levels (≥16.2 μg/mL) were significantly associated with low ADL (p = 0.04; OR, 2.53), malnutrition (p < 0.01; OR, 2.88), and 6-min walk distance (p = 0.04; β = -17.5). In the multivariate analysis adjusted for conventional risk factors of low ADL, high adiponectin levels were also significantly associated with low ADL (p = 0.03; OR, 2.68). In the stepwise forward selection procedure, a high adiponectin level was an independent determinant of low ADL (p = 0.02; R2 = 0.0262). Both net reclassification improvement (0.53; p < 0.01) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.02; p = 0.01) improved significantly after the addition of high adiponectin level to conventional risk factors. In the regression analysis adjusted for age and sex, serum adiponectin levels were significantly (p < 0.0025) negatively associated with abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue areas, body weight, body mass index, and serum triglyceride levels. CONCLUSIONS High serum adiponectin levels were not only significantly associated with an increased risk of low ADL, but also with an increased risk of malnutrition and low physical activity in elderly patients with HF after the in-hospital CR program.

Dysfunctional APPL1-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation in Diabetic Vascular Injury. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2023; 43:e491-e508. [PMID: 37795615 DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.122.318752] [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: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND APN (adiponectin) and APPL1 (adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1) are potent vasculoprotective molecules, and their deficiency (eg, hypoadiponectinemia) contributes to diabetic vascular complications. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern their vasculoprotective genes as well as their alteration by diabetes remain unknown. METHODS Diabetic medium-cultured rat aortic endothelial cells, mouse aortic endothelial cells from high-fat-diet animals, and diabetic human aortic endothelial cells were used for molecular/cellular investigations. The in vivo concept-prove demonstration was conducted using diabetic vascular injury and diabetic hindlimb ischemia models. RESULTS In vivo animal experiments showed that APN replenishment caused APPL1 nuclear translocation, resulting in an interaction with HDAC (histone deacetylase) 2, which inhibited HDAC2 activity and increased H3Kac27 levels. Based on transcriptionome pathway-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction profiling and bioinformatics analysis, Angpt1 (angiopoietin 1), Ocln (occludin), and Cav1 (caveolin 1) were found to be the top 3 vasculoprotective genes suppressed by diabetes and rescued by APN in an APPL1-dependent manner. APN reverses diabetes-induced inhibition of Cav1 interaction with APPL1. APN-induced Cav1 expression was not affected by Angpt1 or Ocln deficiency, whereas APN-induced APPL1 nuclear translocation or upregulation of Angpt1/Ocln expression was abolished in the absence of Cav1 both in vivo and in vitro, suggesting Cav1 is upstream molecule of Angpt1/Ocln in response to APN administration. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) demonstrated that APN caused significant enrichment of H3K27ac in Angpt1 and Ocln promoter region, an effect blocked by APPL1/Cav1 knockdown or HDAC2 overexpression. The protective effects of APN on the vascular system were attenuated by overexpression of HDAC2 and abolished by knocking out APPL1 or Cav1. The double knockdown of ANGPT1/OCLN blunted APN vascular protection both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, in diabetic human endothelial cells, HDAC2 activity is increased, H3 acetylation is decreased, and ANGPT1/OCLN expression is reduced, suggesting that the findings have important translational implications. CONCLUSIONS Hypoadiponectinemia and dysregulation of APPL1-mediated epigenetic regulation are novel mechanisms leading to diabetes-induced suppression of vasculoprotective gene expression. Diabetes-induced pathological vascular remodeling may be prevented by interventions promoting APPL1 nuclear translocation and inhibiting HDAC2.

Non-Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adolescents with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome May Predict Future Cardiovascular Disease. Nutrients 2023; 15:4342.

Abstract
Obesity in adolescence is associated with significant morbidity and predisposes adolescents to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although a number of traditional CVD risk factors have been identified in youth, limited data exist regarding non-traditional CVD risk factors. In 89 adolescents with metabolic syndrome (MetS), with 60 age-, gender-, and BMI-matched controls, we determined the non-traditional CVD risk factors (hs-CRP, TG/HDL ratio, ApoB/ApoA1 ratio, NAFLD) in order to investigate whether they may be used as biomarkers for predicting future CVD, and we evaluated their response to the implementation of a multidisciplinary, personalized, lifestyle intervention program for 1 year. We demonstrated that the TG/HDL ratio, IL-2, IL-6, IL-17A, and INF-γ were significantly increased in subjects with MetS than in controls, and may be used as biomarkers to predict future CVD. Subjects with MetS had an increased mean carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and prevalence of NAFLD than the controls, while the prevalence of NAFLD correlated strongly with cIMT and IL-6 concentrations. Most of the non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors improved following the implementation of a lifestyle intervention program. These findings indicate that adolescents with MetS may have a greater risk for developing atherosclerosis early in life, while early lifestyle intervention is crucial for preventing the arteriosclerotic process in youth.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has reached pandemic proportions, and now approximately 25% of adults in Westernized countries have obesity. Recognized as a major health concern, obesity is associated with multiple comorbidities, particularly cardiometabolic disorders. In this Review, we present obesity as an evolutionarily novel condition, summarize the epidemiological evidence on its detrimental cardiometabolic consequences and discuss the major mechanisms involved in the association between obesity and the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. We also examine the role of potential moderators of this association, with evidence for and against the so-called 'metabolically healthy obesity phenotype', the 'fatness but fitness' paradox or the 'obesity paradox'. Although maintenance of optimal cardiometabolic status should be a primary goal in individuals with obesity, losing body weight and, particularly, excess visceral adiposity seems to be necessary to minimize the risk of cardiometabolic diseases.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common disease that seriously threatens the health of human beings, especially middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. It has the characteristics of high prevalence, high disability rate and high mortality rate. Previous studies have shown that adiponectin has therapeutic effects on a variety of CVDs. As a key adipokine, adiponectin, is an abundant peptide-regulated hormone that is mainly released by adipocytes and cardiomyocytes, as well as endothelial and skeletal cells. Adiponectin can protect against CVD by improving lipid metabolism, protecting vascular endothelial cells and inhibiting foam cell formation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Further investigation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the adiponectin system may provide new ideas for the treatment of CVD. Herein, this review aims to describe the structure and function of adiponectin and adiponectin receptors, introduce the function of adiponectin in the protection of cardiovascular disease and analyze the potential use and clinical significance of this hormone in the protection and treatment of cardiovascular disease, which shows that adiponectin can be expected to become a new therapeutic target and biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.

Nitrative Modification of Caveolin-3: A Novel Mechanism of Cardiac Insulin Resistance and a Potential Therapeutic Target Against Ischemic Heart Failure in Prediabetic Animals. Circulation 2023; 147:1162-1179. [PMID: 36883479 PMCID: PMC10085855 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.122.063073] [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: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial insulin resistance is a hallmark of diabetic cardiac injury. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies demonstrate that the diabetic heart is resistant to other cardioprotective interventions, including adiponectin and preconditioning. The "universal" resistance to multiple therapeutic interventions suggests impairment of the requisite molecule(s) involved in broad prosurvival signaling cascades. Cav (Caveolin) is a scaffolding protein coordinating transmembrane signaling transduction. However, the role of Cav3 in diabetic impairment of cardiac protective signaling and diabetic ischemic heart failure is unknown. METHODS Wild-type and gene-manipulated mice were fed a normal diet or high-fat diet for 2 to 12 weeks and subjected to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Insulin cardioprotection was determined. RESULTS Compared with the normal diet group, the cardioprotective effect of insulin was significantly blunted as early as 4 weeks of high-fat diet feeding (prediabetes), a time point where expression levels of insulin-signaling molecules remained unchanged. However, Cav3/insulin receptor-β complex formation was significantly reduced. Among multiple posttranslational modifications altering protein/protein interaction, Cav3 (not insulin receptor-β) tyrosine nitration is prominent in the prediabetic heart. Treatment of cardiomyocytes with 5-amino-3-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,3-oxadiazolium chloride reduced the signalsome complex and blocked insulin transmembrane signaling. Mass spectrometry identified Tyr73 as the Cav3 nitration site. Phenylalanine substitution of Tyr73 (Cav3Y73F) abolished 5-amino-3-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,3-oxadiazolium chloride-induced Cav3 nitration, restored Cav3/insulin receptor-β complex, and rescued insulin transmembrane signaling. It is most important that adeno-associated virus 9-mediated cardiomyocyte-specific Cav3Y73F reexpression blocked high-fat diet-induced Cav3 nitration, preserved Cav3 signalsome integrity, restored transmembrane signaling, and rescued insulin-protective action against ischemic heart failure. Last, diabetic nitrative modification of Cav3 at Tyr73 also reduced Cav3/AdipoR1 complex formation and blocked adiponectin cardioprotective signaling. CONCLUSIONS Nitration of Cav3 at Tyr73 and resultant signal complex dissociation results in cardiac insulin/adiponectin resistance in the prediabetic heart, contributing to ischemic heart failure progression. Early interventions preserving Cav3-centered signalsome integrity is an effective novel strategy against diabetic exacerbation of ischemic heart failure.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:853-863.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS NT-proBNP has been hypothesized as a possible explanation for the paradoxical association between adiponectin and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We examined the heterogeneities by NT-proBNP, sex, BMI, smoking status, hypertension and diabetes status in the association between adiponectin and cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a case-cohort design nested within the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort, including 1387 incident cases of myocardial infarction or stroke, 582 deaths from cardiovascular causes and 2352 total deaths. We estimated hazard ratios for the association between 1SD increase in log-transformed total adiponectin levels and cardiovascular disease risk, cardiovascular mortality and mortality using Prentice-weighted Cox-proportional hazard models and assessed heterogeneity of the associations across strata of covariates. Overall, adiponectin was significantly associated with all-cause mortality [HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.16, p = 0.004]. The association with cardiovascular mortality did not reach statistical significance [1.10 (0.99-1.37), p = 0.073]. There was significant heterogeneity by NT-proBNP in the association between total adiponectin and all-cause mortality (phet = 0.019) such that significant increase in hazards of mortality were restricted to participants in the highest tertile of NT-proBNP. Among these participants, adiponectin showed a dose-response relationship with total mortality such that; compared to participants in the lowest quintile, those in the third, fourth and fifth were at 1.22 (0.87-1.70), 1.50 (1.07-2.11), and 1.59 (1.15-2.21) higher hazards of mortality respectively. CONCLUSIONS Significant association between adiponectin and mortality was only observed in the context of high NT-proBNP. Our findings provide further support for hypothesis that NT-proBNP may explain the adiponectin paradox.

Adiponectin Paradox More Evident in Non-Obese Than in Obese Patients with Diabetic Microvascular Complications. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:201-212.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Adiponectin is generally regarded as a beneficial molecule, protecting against insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, and its serum levels are low in individuals with obesity as well as in those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, several clinical studies have shown associations between high adiponectin values and major health concerns. These conflicting findings are termed the "adiponectin paradox". Similarly, these paradoxical adiponectin elevations were observed in patients with diabetic microvascular complications. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify differences in factors, including adiponectin, related to diabetic vascular complications between non-obese and obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study patients with T2DM were non-obese (n=197) or obese (n=197), matched by a propensity score model adjusted with age and gender. Independent factors for each of the microvascular complications were determined using multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The prevalence of nephropathy was high in obese T2DM patients. In addition to long diabetes duration, elevated adiponectin was a common characteristic of patients with microvascular complications. Logistic regression analyses for microvascular complications revealed adiponectin to be highly related to retinopathy (odds ratio [OR], 1.138; 95%confidence intervals [CI], 1.004-1.289, p<0.001), nephropathy (OR, 1.192; CI, 1.077-1.319, p<0.001) and neuropathy (OR, 1.217; CI, 1.071-1.384, p<0.001), in non-obese patients. In contrast, the association between adiponectin values and complications was modest in obese patients. CONCLUSION Adiponectin regulation in response to vascular damage differed between non-obese and obese patients, suggesting that adiponectin regulation is compromised by fat accumulation. Assuming that paradoxical elevation of adiponectin in vascular damage is a compensatory response, we speculate that responsive upregulation might be insufficient in obese patients. These newly-recognized differences in adiponectin values might lead to novel insights into adiponectin regulation and our understanding of the adiponectin paradox.

Abstract
Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) protects against cerebral ischemia injury via regulating the level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). This study is aimed at exploring the effect of adiponectin resistance on ADMA-induced neuronal loss in ischemic stroke (IS) and the underlying mechanism. DDAH1 knockout (DDAH1−/−) and wild-type (DDAH1+/+) rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R). Plasma and brain adiponectin levels and the expressions of adiponectin receptor 1 (APR1), adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and phosphorylated AMPK were determined after 24 h, 3 days, and 7 days. Neurological behavior, infarct volume, and adiponectin signaling were evaluated using adiponectin peptide or AdipoRon. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) (a transcription factor for APR1) were also assessed. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model was established in primary neurons. DDAH1 was overexpressed in neurons, after which FOXO1 expression, ROS production, adiponectin resistance, and cell viability were detected. DDAH1−/− rats showed no significant difference in adiponectin level in either plasma or brain after MCAO/R in DDAH1+/+ rats, but downregulated APR1 expression and suppressed adiponectin signaling were observed. AdipoRon, but not adiponectin peptide, attenuated the neurological deficits and adiponectin resistance in DDAH1−/− rats. ROS accumulation and phosphorylated FOXO1 expression also increased with DDAH1 depletion. Following DDAH1 overexpression, decreased cell viability and inhibited adiponectin signaling induced by OGD/R were alleviated in primary neurons, accompanied by reduced ROS production and phosphorylated FOXO1 expression. Our study elucidated that in IS, DDAH1 protected against adiponectin resistance in IS via the ROS/FOXO1/APR1 pathway.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for various metabolic diseases, and it is characterized by central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. The core component for MetS is adipose tissue, which releases adipokines and influences physical health. Adipokines consist of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and contribute to various physiological functions. Generally, a sedentary lifestyle promotes fat accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines. However, regular exercise has been known to exert various beneficial effects on metabolic and cognitive disorders. Although the mechanisms underlying exercise beneficial effects in MetS are not fully understood, changes in energy expenditure, fat accumulation, circulatory level of myokines, and adipokines might be involved. This review article focuses on some of the selected adipokines in MetS, and their responses to exercise training considering possible mechanisms.

Abstract
Adiponectin and insulin resistance creates a vicious cycle that exacerbates type 2 diabetes. Earlier, we observed that female leptin receptor-deficient BLKS mice (BKS-db/db) were more sensitive to an adiponectin mimetic GTDF than males, which led us to explore if E2 plays a crucial role in modulation of adiponectin-sensitivity. Male but not female BKS-db/db mice were resistant to metabolic effects of globular adiponectin treatment. Male BKS-db/db displayed reduced skeletal muscle AdipoR1 protein expression, which was consequent to elevated polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTB) and miR-221. E2 treatment in male BKS-db/db, and ovariectomized BALB/c mice rescued AdipoR1 protein expression via downregulation of PTB and miR-221, and also directly increased AdipoR1 mRNA by its classical nuclear receptors. Estrogen receptor regulation via dietary or pharmacological interventions may improve adiponectin resistance and consequently ameliorate insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

The Role of RIPC in Preventing Organ Damage, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress during Lower Limb DSA: A Randomised Controlled Trial. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6043550. [PMID: 34925697 PMCID: PMC8674049 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6043550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective Diagnostic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and DSA with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (DSA-PTA) are common procedures for diagnosing and treating symptomatic lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). However, organ damage following DSA and DSA-PTA is often underrecognised and hence undiagnosed. To reduce the risk induced by invasive procedures in symptomatic LEAD patients, the method of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been suggested. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of RIPC intervention on the organ damage markers profile, oxidative stress, and inflammation biomarkers in LEAD patients undergoing DSA and DSA-PTA procedure. Methods The RIPC intervention was performed by inflating a standard blood pressure cuff on the patient's upper arm to 200 mmHg for 5 minutes four times with 5-minute perfusion between each cycle. The sham intervention was performed similarly, but the cuff was inflated to 20 mmHg. Changes in the cardiac and renal damage biomarkers' profile, oxidative stress, and inflammation biomarkers were recorded before and 24 hours after DSA or DSA-PTA. Results A total of 111 (RIPC 54, sham 57) patients with symptomatic LEAD scheduled for endovascular procedure were randomised, and 102 patients (RIPC 47, sham 55) completed the study protocol. RIPC significantly limited the increase of adiponectine levels after DSA and DSA-PTA, compared to sham intervention (p = 0.020), but CK-MB levels were markedly lower in the sham group (p = 0.047) after procedure. There was no significant difference between the RIPC and the sham group in mean changes in hs-troponin-T (p = 0.25), NT-proBNP (p = 0.24), creatinine (p = 0.76), eGFR (p = 0.61), urea (p = 0.95), beta-2-microglobuline (p = 0.34), or cystatine C (p = 0.24) levels. Conclusion In this controlled clinical study, RIPC failed to improve the profile of renal and cardiac biomarkers in patients with LEAD periprocedurally. RIPC significantly limits the rise in adiponectin levels and may influence the decrease of CK-MB levels 24 hours after endovascular procedure.

Abstract
Adipose tissue mostly composed of different types of fat is one of the largest endocrine organs in the body playing multiple intricate roles including but not limited to energy storage, metabolic homeostasis, generation of heat, participation in immune functions and secretion of a number of biologically active factors known as adipokines. The most abundant of them is adiponectin. This adipocite-derived hormone exerts pleiotropic actions and exhibits insulin-sensitizing, antidiabetic, anti-obesogenic, anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic, cardio- and neuroprotective properties. Contrariwise to its protective effects against various pathological events in different cell types, adiponectin may have links to several systemic diseases and malignances. Reduction in adiponectin levels has an implication in COVID-19-associated respiratory failure, which is attributed mainly to a phenomenon called 'adiponectin paradox'. Ample evidence about multiple functions of adiponectin in the body was obtained from animal, mostly rodent studies. Our succinct review is entirely about multifaceted roles of adiponectin and mechanisms of its action in different physiological and pathological states.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF). This is commonly termed diabetic cardiomyopathy and is often characterised by increased cardiac fibrosis, pathological hypertrophy, increased oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress as well as diastolic dysfunction. Adiponectin is a cardioprotective adipokine that is downregulated in settings of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Furthermore, both adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1 and R2) are also downregulated in these settings which further results in impaired cardiac adiponectin signalling and reduced cardioprotection. In many cardiac pathologies, adiponectin signalling has been shown to protect against cardiac remodelling and lipotoxicity, however its cardioprotective actions in T2D-induced cardiomyopathy remain unresolved. Diabetic cardiomyopathy has historically lacked effective treatment options. In this review, we summarise the current evidence for links between the suppressed adiponectin signalling pathway and cardiac dysfunction, in diabetes. We describe adiponectin receptor-mediated signalling pathways that are normally associated with cardioprotection, as well as current and potential future therapeutic approaches that could target this pathway as possible interventions for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus. In 2019, the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association (along with industry leaders) launched the groundbreaking collaborative initiative "Know Diabetes by Heart™" to reduce cardiovascular deaths in type 2 diabetic patients. The molecular basis linking diabetes with cardiovascular complications has not yet been fully defined. Recent clinical and experimental studies strongly suggest that adipocyte dysfunction and subsequent pathological communications between adipocyte and cardiomyocytes play important roles in diabetic cardiac injury. This perspective article will review recent development concerning adipocyte-cardiomyocyte communications, and identify the most critical questions remain to be answered in this filed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AdipoRon is the first synthetic analog of endogenous adiponectin, an adipose tissue-derived hormone. AdipoRon possesses pharmacological properties similar to adiponectin and its ability to bind and activate the adipoR1 and adipoR2 receptors makes it a suitable candidate for the treatment of a multitude of disorders. OBJECTIVE In the present review, an attempt was made to compile and discuss the efficacy of adipoRon against various disorders. RESULTS AdipoRon is a drug that acts not only in metabolic diseases but in other conditions unrelated to energy metabolism. It is well- reported that adipoRon exhibits strong anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anticancer, anti-depressant, anti-ischemic, anti-hypertrophic properties and also improves conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and systemic sclerosis. CONCLUSION A lot is known about its effects in experimental systems, but the translation of this knowledge to the clinic requires studies which, for many of the potential target conditions, have yet to be carried out. The beneficial effects of AdipoRon in novel clinical conditions will suggest an underlying pathophysiological role of adiponectin and its receptors in previously unsuspected settings.

Nicotine aggravates vascular adiponectin resistance via ubiquitin-mediated adiponectin receptor degradation in diabetic Apolipoprotein E knockout mouse. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:508. [PMID: 34006831 PMCID: PMC8131622 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-021-03772-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
There is limited and discordant evidence on the role of nicotine in diabetic vascular disease. Exacerbated endothelial cell dysregulation in smokers with diabetes is associated with the disrupted adipose function. Adipokines possess vascular protective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. However, whether and how nicotine primes and aggravates diabetic vascular disorders remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluated the alteration of adiponectin (APN) level in high-fat diet (HFD) mice with nicotine (NIC) administration. The vascular pathophysiological response was evaluated with vascular ring assay. Confocal and co-immunoprecipitation analysis were applied to identify the signal interaction and transduction. These results indicated that the circulating APN level in nicotine-administrated diabetic Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE−/−) mice was elevated in advance of 2 weeks of diabetic ApoE−/− mice. NIC and NIC addition in HFD groups (NIC + HFD) reduced the vascular relaxation and signaling response to APN at 6 weeks. Mechanistically, APN receptor 1 (AdipoR1) level was decreased in NIC and further significantly reduced in NIC + HFD group at 6 weeks, while elevated suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression was induced by NIC and further augmented in NIC + HFD group. Additionally, nicotine provoked SOCS3, degraded AdipoR1, and attenuated APN-activated ERK1/2 in the presence of high glucose and high lipid (HG/HL) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). MG132 (proteasome inhibitor) administration manifested that AdipoR1 was ubiquitinated, while inhibited SOCS3 rescued the reduced AdipoR1. In summary, this study demonstrated for the first time that nicotine primed vascular APN resistance via SOCS3-mediated degradation of ubiquitinated AdipoR1, accelerating diabetic endothelial dysfunction. This discovery provides a potential therapeutic target for preventing nicotine-accelerated diabetic vascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Adiponectin (a protein consisting of 244 amino acids and characterized by a molecular weight of 28 kDa) is a cytokine that is secreted from adipose tissues (adipokine). Available evidence suggests that adiponectin is involved in a variety of physiological functions, molecular and cellular events, including lipid metabolism, energy regulation, immune response and inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. It has a protective effect on neurons and neural stem cells. Adiponectin levels have been reported to be negatively correlated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, and shown to be affected (i.e., significantly increased) by proper healthy nutrition. The present review comprehensively overviews the role of adiponectin in a range of diseases, showing that it can be used as a biomarker for diagnosing these disorders as well as a target for monitoring the effectiveness of preventive and treatment interventions.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is well recognized risk factor cardiovascular disease (CVD). Insulin therapy is recommended for all patients with type 1 diabetes. Previous findings showed that diabetes impairs endothelial function and increased glucose level reduces nitric oxide (NO) output and increases myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. However, adiponectin (APN) decreases serum glucose levels. The current study evaluated effects of insulin therapy on circulating levels of oxidative stress and CVD biomarkers like NO, APN, MPO, AIP and lipid profile in type 1 diabetic patients. Fifty patients with T1DM and 18 healthy people were enrolled in this study. The recruited people with T1DM were classified into two groups: 22 newly diagnosed (untreated) type 1 diabetic patients and 28 insulin treated patients. In all groups, circulating NO, APN, MPO, AIP and lipids levels were measured. Compared to control, untreated diabetes revealed a significant increase in the serum levels of APN, MPO, TG, VLDL, TC, LDL and AIP, with a marked reduction in NO and HDL levels. However, insulin therapy significantly lowered MPO, TC and LDL, with no significant changes in the other biochemical parameters. As expected, oxidative stress and CVD-associated markers were significantly increased in untreated diabetes. Insulin therapy exhibited a relatively positive effect on oxidative stress and CVD biomarkers. Accordingly, insulin plus antioxidant supplementation required to normalize these parameters.

Abstract
Background Circulating adiponectin has been suggested to be associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether the association differs by age and gender remains unknown. We performed a case-control study to evaluate the above association. Methods AF patients who underwent 24-hour long-range 12-channel electrocardiogram examination at our center were included in this study, and people with normal sinus rhythm (NSR) were included as controls. All participants underwent echocardiography and heart rate variability tests. Biochemical parameters and adiponectin levels were also evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to determine the predictive efficacy of adiponectin for AF, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential independent predictors of AF. Results Overall, 84 patients with AF and 84 people with NSR were included. Serum adiponectin was significantly higher in AF patients compared to that in controls (P < 0.001). ROC analysis showed that higher serum adiponectin (>6.098 μg/mL) had predictive efficacy for AF, with an area under the curve of 0.660 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 577–0.742). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher adiponectin was an independent predictor of AF in the overall participants (odds ratio [OR] 1.224, 95% CI 1.018–1.471, P=0.032). Subgroup analysis showed that higher adiponectin was independently associated with AF in women (OR 1.893, 95% CI 1.160–3.089, P=0.011) and in patients aged < 65 years (OR 1.453, 95% CI 1.023–2.064, P=0.037), but not in men or those aged ≥ 65 years. Conclusions Higher serum adiponectin level was independently associated with higher odds for AF in women and in participants <65 years old, but not in men or those aged ≥65 years.

Abstract
The association between serum adiponectin levels and cardiovascular events, particularly how adiponectin predicts the development of cardiovascular events and mortality in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients remains unresolved. Hence, we aimed to determine whether higher adiponectin levels predict cardiovascular events and mortality in these patients. Regression analyses were performed to clarify adiponectin's ability to predict cardiovascular events and mortality among 1,641 ACS patients. Subgroup analyses were performed according to gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). The primary end point was a composite of the first all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke event. The secondary end point was all-cause death. Hazard ratios for the primary and secondary end points per 5-µg/ml increase in adiponectin levels were 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13 to 1.47; p = 0.0007) and 1.32 (95% CI, 1.13 to 1.51; p = 0.001), respectively. Higher adiponectin levels were associated with increased cardiovascular events in men, patients aged ≥65 years, and those with BMI <25 kg/m2. In conclusion, higher adiponectin levels were associated with increased cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in ACS patients. Its predictive ability might be limited in women, patients aged <65 years, and patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with meta-inflammation related to obesity but the role of adipose tissue in PH pathogenesis is unknown. We hypothesized that adipose tissue-derived metabolic regulators are altered in human and experimental PH. We measured circulating levels of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP-4), fibroblast growth factor -21 (FGF-21), adiponectin, and the mRNA levels of FABP-4, FGF-21, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in lung tissue of patients with idiopathic PH and healthy controls. We also evaluated lung and adipose tissue expression of these mediators in the three most commonly used experimental rodent models of pulmonary hypertension. Circulating levels of FABP-4, FGF-21, and adiponectin were significantly elevated in PH patients compared to controls and the mRNA levels of these regulators and PPARγ were also significantly increased in human PH lungs and in the lungs of rats with experimental PH compared to controls. These findings were coupled with increased levels of adipose tissue mRNA of genes related to glucose uptake, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and fatty acid oxidation in experimental PH. Our results support that metabolic alterations in human PH are recapitulated in rodent models of the disease and suggest that adipose tissue may contribute to PH pathogenesis.

Abstract
Iron overload (IO) is a common yet underappreciated finding in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. With the prevalence of MetS continuing to rise, it is imperative to further elucidate cellular mechanisms leading to metabolic dysfunction. Adiponectin has many beneficial effects and is a therapeutic target for the treatment of MetS and cardiovascular diseases. IO positively correlates with reduced circulating adiponectin levels yet the impact of IO on adiponectin action is unknown. Here, we established a model of IO in L6 skeletal muscle cells and found that IO-induced adiponectin resistance. This was shown via reduced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in response to the small molecule adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) agonist, AdipoRon, in presence of IO. This correlated with reduced messenger RNA and protein levels of AdipoR1 and its facilitative signaling binding partner, APPL1. IO caused phosphorylation, nuclear extrusion, and thus inhibition of FOXO1, a known transcription factor regulating AdipoR1 expression. The antioxidant N-acetyl cystine attenuated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by IO, and blunted its effect on FOXO1 phosphorylation and removal from the nucleus, as well as subsequent adiponectin resistance. In conclusion, our study identifies a ROS/FOXO1/AdipoR1 axis as a cause of skeletal muscle adiponectin resistance in response to IO. This new knowledge provides insight into a cellular mechanism with potential relevance to disease pathophysiology in MetS patients with IO.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy) and globular adiponectin (gAPN) on chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced H9C2 cardiomyocytes injury while investigating potential mechanisms of action. The CIH model of H9C2 cardiomyocytes was established in this study. CCK-8 assay was used to determine cell viability post-exposure to various CIH times and gAPN concentrations. Flow cytometry was used to observe H9C2 cardiomyocytes apoptosis and immunofluorescence was used to measure ER-phagy and SEC62 activation. Western blot was used to observe ER stress and AMPK pathway. Results indicated that ER stress was activated in H9C2 cardiomyocytes exposed to CIH. Inhibition of ER stress reduced CIH-induced cell apoptosis. gAPN attenuated CIH-induced ER stress and H9C2 cardiomyocytes apoptosis. ER-phagy and SEC62 protein level were induced by CIH, while gAPN highly enhanced these changes. Inhibition of SEC62 expression reduced ER-phagy and increased ER stress and H9C2 cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Moreover, gAPN induced AMPK expression. Inhibition of AMPK expression reduced SEC62-mediated ER-phagy and increased the H9C2 cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Altogether, our study suggested that gAPN upregulated SEC62-mediated ER-phagy to extenuate ER stress, and mitigated H9C2 cardiomyocytes apoptosis induced by CIH through AMPK activation.

High plasma adiponectin is associated with increased pulmonary blood flow and reduced right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension. BMC Pulm Med 2020; 20:204. [PMID: 32731857 PMCID: PMC7391602 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-020-01233-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adiponectin is a biomarker closely related to heart failure. However, its role in pulmonary hypertension remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the association between adiponectin and hemodynamic abnormalities, right ventricular function in patients with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary hypertension (CHD-PH). METHODS Patients with CHD-PH were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the association between adiponectin, N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and different clinical parameters. Results were depicted as beta-estimates(ß) with 95%-confidence intervals (95% CI). In addition, mediation and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to analyze the relationships among adiponectin, NT-proBNP and right ventricular function. RESULTS A total of 86 CHD-PH patients were included. The overall mean adiponectin concentration was 7.9 ± 5.8 μg/ml. Log adiponectin was positively correlated with pulmonary circulation index (ß = 2.2, 95% CI 0.5, 4.0), log NT-proBNP (ß = 0.22, 95% CI 0.04, 0.41) and inversely with the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE, ß = -4.7, 95% CI -8.6, - 0.8). The mediation analysis revealed the association between NT-proBNP and TAPSE was fully mediated by adiponectin (total effect c = - 5.4, 95% CI -9.4, - 1.5, p = 0.013; direct effect c' = - 3.7, 95% CI -7.5, 0.1, p = 0.067). Additionally, the efficiency of adiponectin for detecting right ventricular dysfunction was not inferior to NT-proBNP (AUC = 0.84, 95% CI 0.67-1.00 vs AUC = 0.74, 95% CI 0.51-0.97, p = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS Adiponectin is closely correlated with pulmonary blood flow and right ventricular function and may be a valuable biomarker for disease assessment in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

AdipoRon, an adiponectin receptor agonist, protects contrast-induced nephropathy by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation via activation of the AMPK pathway. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 24:989-998. [PMID: 32734507 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-020-01944-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2019] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), a complication caused by using contrast medium during diagnostic and interventional procedures, occurs frequently and lacks effective treatment. AdipoRon, the agonist of adiponectin receptors, has been shown to benefit many organs including the kidney. This study aimed to investigate the role of AdipoRon in treating CIN. METHODS CIN model was established via infusing iopromide (1.8 g/kg) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats; NRK52E cells were treated with iopromide (5-50 μM). Renal function, renal histopathology, levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, cell vitality, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers were measured to evaluate the protective effects of AdipoRon. The level of pAMPK/AMPK was determined by western blot. RESULTS AdipoRon (50 mg/kg) significantly reversed serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance and urinary kidney injury molecule-1 levels induced by iopromide in SD rats. Besides, it decreased the renal injury score and apoptosis of renal cells. AdipoRon also reversed the changes of antioxidant markers, pro-oxidant and inflammatory markers induced by iopromide. Moreover, the in vitro studies showed that AdipoRon decreased LDH release and increased cell vitality in NRK52E cells treated with iopromide. Then, we demonstrated that the protection of AdipoRon was accompanied by augmented AMPK phosphorylation. Both in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that compound c, an AMPK inhibitor, reversed the AdipoRon-mediated improvement in the CIN model. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that AdipoRon protects against the CIN by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation via activating the AMPK pathway, showing that AdipoRon might be a potential candidate for the prevention and therapy of CIN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with accelerated atherogenesis. Traditional risk factors do not seem to fully explain this process in patients with SLE and no other imaging/serum biomarkers have so far improved risk stratification. Here, we focused on the role of adiponectin in women with SLE. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a sub-analysis of a validated cohort enrolling eighty females (age 18-65 years) affected by SLE. Patient underwent a single blood sampling and carotid echography. Serum adipocytokines (i.e. leptin, resistin and adiponectin) were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Patients with a carotid plaque (n = 23) were older, with longer duration of the disease, chronic use of corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive therapies. As expected, patients with a carotid plaque had increased vascular risk and high serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers, total and LDL cholesterol and adiponectin. Significant positive correlation between serum adiponectin and presence of a carotid plaque was found independently of patient age, SCORE Risk Charts, duration of disease, and SLE treatments. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that high serum adiponectin is associated with accelerated carotid atherosclerosis in SLE young women and it might be useful to improve vascular risk stratification in this patient setting.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARG) might play a protective role in the development of myocardial infarction (MI) with limited mechanisms identified. Genes associated with both PPARG and MI were extracted from Elsevier Pathway Studio to construct the initial network. The gene expression activity within the network was estimated through a mega-analysis with eight independent expression datasets derived from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to build PPARG and MI connecting pathways. After that, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted to explore the functional profile of the genes involved in the PPARG-driven network. PPARG demonstrated a significantly low expression in MI patients (LFC = −0.52; p < 1.84e − 9). Consequently, PPARG could indicatively be promoting three MI inhibitors (e.g., SOD1, CAV1, and POU5F1) and three MI-downregulated markers (e.g., ALB, ACADM, and ADIPOR2), which were deactivated in MI cases (p < 0.05), and inhibit two MI-upregulated markers (RELA and MYD88), which showed increased expression levels in MI cases (p = 0.0077 and 0.047, respectively). These eight genes were mainly enriched in nutrient- and cell metabolic-related pathways and functionally linked by GSEA and PPCN. Our results suggest that PPARG could protect the heart against both the development and progress of MI through the regulation of nutrient- and metabolic-related pathways.

Abstract
After two decades of its discovery, numerous facts of adiponectin (APN) biology has been uncovered, yet, APN remains an elusive adipokine. Findings from clinical studies and animal models established APN's ameliorative role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and pulmonary disease (PD) but the same condition is prognostic for mortality in the same set of patients which cornered APN towards a dubious state. A repertoire of mechanisms associated with the positive association of APN in both lean/cachectic or obese CVD and PD patients from past publications are evaluated. Newer pharmacological agent may be explored to regulate elevated blood APN concentration in COPD or CHF patients whereas administration of recombinant APN as well as growth hormone may augment blood APN concentration in obese subjects associated with low blood and intracellular APN concentration. However, some APN directed therapy in clinical as well as in pre-clinical setup has pronounced some contentious effects. After reviewing the mechanisms of the contentious role of APN functioning in pathologic conditions of CVD and PD in both lean and obese conditions, the authors came to conclusion that APN directed therapy may be utilized with caution keeping in mind the different age group, sex and the different CVD as well as pulmonary diseases they are suffering from.

Abstract
Adiponectin (APN), an adipose tissue-derived hormone, plays a key role in regulating energy metabolism in mammals. However, its physiological roles in teleosts remain poorly understood. In the present study, the apn gene was cloned from large yellow croaker, which was mainly expressed in the adipose, muscle and liver. Further studies showed that adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interaction PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1) was localized in the cytoplasm near the cell membrane and was directly bounded to adiponectin receptors (AdipoRs). Meanwhile, APN played a crucial role in lipid metabolism of primary muscle cells by promoting the synthesis, oxidation and transport of fatty acids, and the promoting effects were blocked by knockdown of appl1 and AdipoRs. Furthermore, the activation/inhibition of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor γ (PPARγ) enhanced/suppressed the APN-mediated lipid metabolism. Overall, results showed that APN mediated lipid metabolism through AdipoRs-APPL1 activated PPARγ and further regulated the synthesis, oxidation and transport of FA. This study will facilitate the investigation of APN functions in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis and reveal the evolution of lipids utilization and energy homeostasis in vertebrates.

Abstract
Adiponectin, an adipokine produced and secreted by adipocytes, is involved in regulating the development and progression of insulin resistance, diabetes, and diabetic complications. Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is a molecular chaperone, most commonly presenting in mitochondria and participating in the maintenance of protein homeostasis. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that the elevated circulating HSP60 and the decreased intracellular HSP60 are closely associated with diabetic complications such as diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In the present study, we reported that HSP60 interacted directly with adiponectin receptors. Its abundance was positively associated with adiponectin action. Furthermore, HSP60 depletion markedly mitigated the protective impacts of adiponectin on high glucose-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in rat cardiac H9c2 cells. In addition, HSP60 knockdown significantly enhanced proteasome activity leading to the degradation of adiponectin receptor 1. Taken together, we showed for the first time that HSP60 interacted with adiponectin receptors and mediated adiponectin signaling through stabilizing adiponectin receptor. This in vitro study also provides an alternative explanation for mechanism by which adiponectin exerts its action. Video abstract

Abstract
Low-circulating levels of adiponectin (ADPN) are associated with obesity, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. On the contrary, some studies have demonstrated a link between relatively high levels of plasma ADPN and heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and adverse outcome. However, little is known about the relationship between ADPN level and prolonged QT interval. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between plasma ADPN levels and prolonged QT interval in patients with stable angina.In this retrospective study, because the diverse disease severity and condition of the study population may have affected the results, we chose individuals with stable angina. Plasma ADPN concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A 12-lead ECG recording was obtained from each patient.We enrolled 479 stable-angina patients. Patients with an abnormal corrected QT (QTc) interval had higher median plasma ADPN levels than those with normal QTc intervals. Age- and sex-adjusted ADPN levels were positively associated with heart rate, QTc interval, left ventricular mass index, and creatinine but negatively associated with left ventricular ejection fraction, waist circumference, current smoking, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, albumin, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed ADPN as an independent association factor for abnormal QTc interval. Increasing concentrations of sex-specific ADPN were independently and significantly associated with abnormal QTc interval, even after full adjustment of known biomarkers.Our results indicate that ADPN may play a role in the pathogenesis of abnormal QTc interval in patients with stable angina.

The Role of Cardiac T-Cadherin in the Indicating Heart Failure Severity of Patients with Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56010027. [PMID: 31936691 PMCID: PMC7023024 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56010027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: T-cadherin (T-cad) is one of the adiponectin receptors abundantly expressed in the heart and blood vessels. Experimental studies show that T-cad sequesters adiponectin in cardiovascular tissues and is critical for adiponectin-mediated cardio-protection. However, there are no data connecting cardiac T-cad levels with human chronic heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess whether myocardial T-cad concentration is associated with chronic HF severity and whether the T-cad levels in human heart tissue might predict outcomes in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NI-DCM). Materials and Methods: 29 patients with chronic NI-DCM and advanced HF were enrolled. Patients underwent regular laboratory investigations, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and right heart catheterization. TNF-α and IL6 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Additionally, endomyocardial biopsies were obtained, and the levels of T-cad were assessed by ELISA and CD3, CD45Ro, CD68, and CD4- immunohistochemically. Mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) was used as a marker of HF severity, subdividing patients into two groups: mean PCWP > 19 mmHg vs. mean PCWP < 19 mmHg. Patients were followed-up for 5 years. The study outcome was composite: left ventricular assist device implantation, heart transplantation, or death from cardiovascular causes. Results: T-cad shows an inverse correlation with the mean PCWP (rho = −0.397, p = 0.037). There is a tendency towards a lower T-cad concentration in patients with more severe HF, as indicated by the mean PCWP > 19 mmHg compared to those with mean PCWP ≤ 19 mmHg (p = 0.058). Cardiac T-cad levels correlate negatively with myocardial CD3 cell count (rho = −0.423, p = 0.028). Conclusions: Univariate Cox regression analysis did not prove T-cad to be an outcome predictor (HR = 1, p = 0.349). However, decreased T-cad levels in human myocardium can be an additional indicator of HF severity. T-cad in human myocardium has an anti-inflammatory role. More studies are needed to extend the role of T-cad in the outcome prediction of patients with NI-DCM.

Abstract
Background Conflicting results on the prognostic value of blood adiponectin level in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have been reported. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prognostic value of elevated adiponectin level in CAD patients. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase databases up to May 10, 2019. Studies evaluating the association between adiponectin level and major adverse cardiovascular events (death, stroke, acute coronary syndrome or coronary revascularisation), cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in CAD patients were included. Pooled multivariable adjusted risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated for the highest vs the lowest category of adiponectin level. Results Twelve studies including 10,974 CAD patients were included. Elevated adiponectin level was independently associated with higher risk of cardiovascular (RR 1.93; 95% CI 1.55–2.42; p < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (RR 1.96; 95% CI 1.64–2.34; p < 0.001) in CAD patients. However, CAD patients with higher adiponectin level did not significantly increase major cardiovascular events risk (RR 1.12; 95% CI 0.86–1.45; p = 0.407) after adjustment for potential confounders. Conclusions This meta-analysis indicates that elevated adiponectin level is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in CAD patients. Measurement of blood adiponectin level has potential to identify CAD patients who have high risk of death.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza-Dalbergia odorifera coupled-herbs (SMDOCH) has been used to treat coronary heart disease (CHD) for thousands of years, but its unclear bioactive components and mechanisms greatly limit its clinical application. In this study, for the first time, we used network pharmacology to elucidate the mechanisms of action of SMDOCH on CHD. We collected 270 SMDOCH-related targets from 74 bioactive components and 375 CHD-related targets, with 58 overlapping common targets. Next, we performed enrichment analysis for common-target network and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The results showed that SMDOCH affected CHD mainly through 10 significant signaling pathways in three biological processes: 'vascular endothelial function regulation', 'inflammatory response', and 'lipid metabolism'. Six pathways belonged to the 'vascular endothelial function regulation' model, which primarily regulated hormone (renin, angiotensin, oestrogen) activity, and included three key upstream pathways that influence vascular endothelial function, namely KEGG:04933, KEGG:05418, and KEGG:04066. Three pathways, namely KEGG:04668, KEGG:04064, and KEGG:04620, belonged to the 'inflammatory response' model. One pathway (KEGG:04920) belonged to the 'lipid metabolism' model. To some extent, this study revealed the potential bioactive components and pharmacological mechanisms of SMDOCH on CHD, and provided a new direction for the development of new drugs for the treatment of CHD.

Abstract
Adiponectin, a highly abundant polypeptide hormone in plasma, plays an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism in a wide variety of tissues, as well as providing important beneficial effects in diabetes, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. To act on target tissues, adiponectin must move from the circulation to the interstitial space, suggesting that vascular permeability plays an important role in regulating adiponectin action. To test this hypothesis, fluorescently labeled adiponectin was used to monitor its biodistribution in mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes (STZD). Adiponectin was, indeed, found to have increased sequestration in the highly fenestrated liver and other tissues within 90 min in STZD mice. In addition, increased myocardial adiponectin was detected and confirmed using computed tomography (CT) coregistration. This provided support of adiponectin delivery to affected cardiac tissue as a cardioprotective mechanism. Higher adiponectin content in the STZD heart tissues was further examined by ex vivo fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) imaging, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis. In vitro mechanistic studies using an endothelial monolayer on inserts and three-dimensional microvascular networks on microfluidic chips further confirmed that adiponectin flux was increased by high glucose. However, in the in vitro model and mouse heart tissue, high glucose levels did not change adiponectin receptor levels. An examination of the tight junction (TJ) complex revealed a decrease in the TJ protein claudin (CLDN)-7 in high glucose-treated endothelial cells, and the functional significance of this change was underscored by increased endothelium permeability upon siRNA-mediated knockdown of CLDN-7. Our data support the idea that glucose-induced effects on permeability of the vascular endothelium contribute to the actions of adiponectin by regulating its transendothelial movement from blood to the interstitial space. These observations are physiologically significant and critical when considering ways to harness the therapeutic potential of adiponectin for diabetes.

Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction is common in various cardiovascular diseases, which could be affected by adiponectin (APN). Nevertheless, the effects of APN on diastolic dysfunction in pressure overload model induced by transverse aorta constriction (TAC) remain to be further elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that treatment of APN attenuated diastolic dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy in TAC mice. Notably, APN also improved active relaxation of adult cardiomyocytes, increased N2BA/N2B ratios of titin isoform, and reduced collagen type I to type III ratio and lysyl oxidase (Lox) expressions in the myocardial tissue. Moreover, APN supplementation suppressed TAC-induced oxidative stress. In vitro, inhibition of AMPK by compound C (Cpc) abrogated the effect of APN on modulation of titin isoform shift and the anti-hypertrophic effect of APN on cardiomyocytes induced by AngII. In summary, our findings indicate that APN could attenuate diastolic dysfunction in TAC mice, which are at least partially mediated by AMPK pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients with heart failure (HF) are more prone to systemic congestion than others. The goal of this study was to identify clinical and humoral factors linked to congestion and its prognostic impact in HF patients. METHODS A total of 371 advanced HF patients underwent physical examination, echocardiography, right heart catheterization, blood samplings, and Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire. Subjects were followed-up for adverse events (death, urgent transplantation, or assist device implantation without heart transplantation). RESULTS Thirty-one percent of patients were classified as prone to congestion. During a median follow-up of 1,093 days, 159 (43%) patients had an adverse event. In the Cox analysis, the congestion-prone (CP) status was associated with a 43% higher event risk. The CP status was strongly (p ˂ 0.001) associated with body weight loss, right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), dilated inferior vena cava (IVC), diuretics, and beta-blockers prescription and the majority of tested hormones in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, the only independent variables associated with the CP status were adiponectin, albumin, IVC diameter, and RVD. Adiponectin by itself was predictive of adverse events. In a multivariate model, CP status was no longer predictive of adverse events, in contrast to adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS CP patients experienced more severe symptoms and had shorter survival. Potential role of adiponectin, a new independent predictor of CP status, should be further examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) reduces vascular tone in isolated arteries in vitro, however there are no studies of PVAT effects on vascular tone in vivo. In vitro adipocyte β3-adrenoceptors play a role in PVAT function via secretion of the vasodilator adiponectin. OBJECTIVE We have investigated the effects of PVAT on vessel diameter in vivo, and the contributions of β3-adrenoceptors and adiponectin. METHOD In anaesthetised rats, sections of the intact mesenteric bed were visualised and the diameter of arteries was recorded. Arteries were stimulated with electrical field stimulation (EFS), noradrenaline (NA), arginine-vasopressin (AVP), and acetylcholine (Ach). RESULTS We report that in vivo, stimulation of PVAT with EFS, NA, and AVP evokes a local anti-constrictive effect on the artery, whilst PVAT exerts a pro-contractile effect on arteries subjected to Ach. The anti-constrictive effect of PVAT stimulated with EFS and NA was significantly reduced using β3-adrenoceptor inhibition, and activation of β3-adrenoceptors potentiated the anti-constrictive effect of vessels stimulated with EFS, NA, and AVP. The β3-adrenoceptor agonist had no effect on mesenteric arteries with PVAT removed. A blocking peptide for adiponectin receptor 1 polyclonal antibody reduced the PVAT anti-constrictive effect in arteries stimulated with EFS and NA, indicating that adiponectin may be the anti-constrictive factor released upon β3-adrenoceptor activation. CONCLUSIONS These results clearly demonstrate that PVAT plays a paracrine role in regulating local vascular tone in vivo, and therefore may contribute to the modulation of blood pressure. This effect is mediated via adipocyte β3-adrenoceptors, which may trigger release of the vasodilator adiponectin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Withaferin A (WFA), an anticancer constituent of the plant Withania somnifera, inhibits tumor growth in association with apoptosis induction. However, the potential role of WFA in the cardiovascular system is little-studied and controversial.Methods and Results:Two different doses of WFA were tested to determine their cardioprotective effects in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury through evaluation of cardiofunction in wild-type and AMP-activated protein kinase domain negative (AMPK-DN) gentransgenic mice. Surprisingly, cardioprotective effects (improved cardiac function and reduced infarct size) were observed with low-dose WFA (1 mg/kg) delivery but not high-dose (5 mg/kg). Mechanistically, low-dose WFA attenuated myocardial apoptosis. It decreased MI/R-induced activation of caspase 9, the indicator of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway, but not caspase 8. It also upregulated the level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and increased the MI/R inhibited ratio of Bcl2/Bax. In AMPK-deficient mice, WFA did not ameliorate MI/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, attenuate infarct size, or restore the Bcl2/Bax (B-cell lymphoma2/Mcl-2-like protein 4) ratio. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated for the first time that low-dose WFA is cardioprotective via upregulation of the anti-apoptotic mitochondrial pathway in an AMPK-dependent manner.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome and is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS) is an index used for the detection of liver fibrosis. We investigated the relationship between NFS and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this cross-sectional study, 109 patients with CAD and 50 patients without CAD were enrolled. Demographic data, laboratory parameters, epicardial fat thickness (EFT), NFS, and Synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with Taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score were recorded. Waist circumference, fasting glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), EFT, and NFS were significantly higher in the CAD group ( P < .05). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and ejection fraction were significantly lower in the CAD group ( P < .05). The SYNTAX score was positively correlated with fasting glucose, LDL-C, EFT, and NFS and negatively correlated with HDL-C ( P < .05). The NFS was positively correlated with EFT ( P = .019). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that NFS ( P = .012), EFT ( P < .001), and LDL-C ( P = .001) were independently associated with the SYNTAX score. In conclusion, NFS, as a marker of NAFLD, could identify patients at higher risk of CVD.

Circulating level of Adiponectin (Ad), known as a metabolic regulator and cardio-protective hormone was previously suggested to be reduced by hypoxia but consequences of such variation are unclear. The evaluation of the specific effect of hypoxemia on Ad forms and receptors could improve the understanding of the involvement of Ad axis in hypoxemia-related diseases. Methods: Ad-pathway components were investigated in a murine model of sustained intermittent hypoxemia (FiO2 10%, 8 h/day, 35 days). Results: Sustained intermittent hypoxemia (SIH) induced a redistribution of Ad multimers in favor of HMW forms, without change in total plasmatic level. Mice submitted to hypoxia also exhibited tissue-specific modification of adiporeceptor (AdipoR) protein level without mRNA expression change. A decreased AdipoR2 abundance was observed in skeletal muscle and heart whereas AdipoR1 level was only reduced in muscle. No change was observed in liver regarding AdipoR. Lipid profile was unchanged but glucose tolerance increased in hypoxemic mice. Conclusion: Sustained intermittent hypoxemia, per se, modify Ad oligomerization state as well as AdipoR protein abundance in a tissue-specific way. That suggests alteration in Ad-dependant pathways in pathological conditions associated to SIH. Investigation of Ad-pathway components could therefore constitute useful complementary criteria for the clustering of patients with hypoxemia-related diseases and management of co-morbidities, as well as to develop new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases encompass those affecting the heart and vasculature as well as other metabolic problems, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. These diseases tend to have common risk factors, one of which is impaired adiponectin action. This may be due to reduced bioavailability of the hormone or resistance to its effects on target tissues. A strong negative correlation between adiponectin levels and cardiometabolic diseases has been well-documented and research shown that adiponectin has cardioprotective, insulin sensitizing and direct beneficial metabolic effects. Thus, therapeutic approaches to enhance adiponectin action are widely considered to be desirable. The complexity of adiponectin structure and function has so far made progress in this area less than ideal. In this article we will review the effects and mechanism of action of adiponectin on cardiometabolic tissues, identify scenarios where enhancing adiponectin action would be of clinical value and finally discuss approaches via which this can be achieved.

J Mol Med (Berl) 2018; 96:1345-1357. [PMID: 30341569 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-018-1696-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2018] [Revised: 09/08/2018] [Accepted: 09/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
AdipoRon, a small-molecule adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) agonist, has been reported to be implicated in cardiovascular diseases. However, its role in pressure-overload-induced cardiac remodeling is still elusive. To elucidate the role of AdipoRon in the pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling in vivo and vitro, in the left ventricle of human end-stage heart failure, the expression of AdipoR2 is upregulated. Meanwhile, increased expression of AdipoR2 was also observed in mice failing hearts. Oral administration of AdipoRon alleviated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload, as evidenced by the beneficial change of cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes, heart weight-to-body weight ratio, gene expression of hypertrophic markers, ventricle collagen ratio, and cardiac function. The AMPKα activation mediated by AdipoRon significantly inhibited AngII-induced TGF-β1 expression and cardiac fibroblast differentiation, and these inhibitory effects were abrogated by treatment with the AMPK inhibitor Compound C. Consistent with the above results, AdipoRon abolished the ability to retard AngII-induced TGF-β1 expression in AMPKα2-/- cardiac fibroblasts. In AMPKα2-/- mice subjected to aortic banding, AdipoRon abolished the protective effect, as indicated by increased cross-sectional area, cardiac collagen ratio, and cardiac dysfunction. Our results demonstrated that AdipoR2 expression was markedly increased in the failing hearts. AdipoRon inhibited TGF-β1 expression and myofibroblast differentiation in AMPKα-dependent manner in vitro. In line with the vitro results, AMPKα2-/- mice markedly abrogated the inhibitory effects of AdipoRon in cardiac remodeling. These results indicated AdipoRon may hold promise of an effective therapy against pressure-overload-induced cardiac remodeling. KEY MESSAGES: • The increased expression of AdipoR2 is observed in human and mice failing hearts, the changeable expression of AdipoR suggests the possible role of AdipoR in cardiac remodeling. • Oral administration of AdipoRon alleviates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload, and AMPKα activation mediated by AdipoRon significantly inhibited AngII-induced TGF-β1 expression and cardiac fibroblast differentiation. • These findings provide new mechanistic insight and open new therapeutic pathways for heart failure.

Abstract
Renal sympathetic activity affects blood pressure in part by increasing renovascular resistance via release of norepinephrine (NE) from sympathetic nerves onto renal arteries. Here we test the idea that adipose tissue adjacent to renal blood vessels, i.e. renal perivascular adipose tissue (RPVAT), contains a pool of NE which can be released to alter renal vascular function. RPVAT was obtained from around the main renal artery/vein of the male Sprague Dawley rats. Thoracic aortic PVAT and mesenteric PVAT also were studied as brown-like and white fat comparators respectively. RPVAT was identified as a mix of white and brown adipocytes, because of expression of both brown-like (e.g. uncoupling protein 1) and white adipogenic genes. All PVATs contained NE (ng/g tissue, RPVAT:524 ± 68, TAPVAT:740 ± 16, MPVAT:96 ± 24). NE was visualized specifically in RPVAT adipocytes by immunohistochemistry. The presence of RPVAT (+RPVAT) did not alter the response of isolated renal arteries to NE compared to responses of arteries without RPVAT (-RPVAT). By contrast, the maximum contraction to the sympathomimetic tyramine was ~2× greater in the renal artery +PVAT versus -PVAT. Tyramine-induced contraction in +RPVAT renal arteries was reduced by the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin and the NE transporter inhibitor nisoxetine. These results suggest that tyramine caused release of NE from RPVAT. Renal denervation significantly (>50%) reduced NE content of RPVAT but did not modify tyramine-induced contraction of +RPVAT renal arteries. Collectively, these data support the existence of a releasable pool of NE in RPVAT that is independent of renal sympathetic innervation and has the potential to change renal arterial function.
