Influence of SGLT2 Inhibitor Treatment on Urine Antioxidant Status in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Pilot Study. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:5593589. [PMID: 34336104 PMCID: PMC8294983 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5593589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been recognized as potent antioxidant agents. Since SGLT2i are nephroprotective drugs, we aimed to examine the urine antioxidant status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). One hundred and one subjects participated in this study, including 37 T2DM patients treated with SGLT2i, 31 T2DM patients not using SGLT2i, and 33 healthy individuals serving as a control group. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), free thiol groups (R-SH, sulfhydryl groups), and catalase (CAT) activity, as well as glucose concentration, were assessed in the urine of all participants. Urine SOD and MnSOD activity were significantly higher among T2DM patients treated with SGLT2i than T2DM patients without SGLT2i treatment (p = 0.009 and p = 0.003, respectively) and to the healthy controls (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001, respectively). TAC was significantly lower in patients with T2DM treated with SGLT2i when compared to those not treated and healthy subjects (p = 0.036 and p = 0.019, respectively). It could be hypothesized that the mechanism by which SGLT2i provides nephroprotective effects involves improvement of the SOD antioxidant activity. However, lower TAC might impose higher OS (oxidative stress), and elevation of SOD activity might be a compensatory mechanism.

Abstract
Numerous reactive oxygen species (ROS) entities exist, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is very key among them as it is well known to possess a stable but poor reactivity capable of generating free radicals. Considered among reactive atoms, molecules, and compounds with electron-rich sites, free radicals emerging from metabolic reactions during cellular respirations can induce oxidative stress and cause cellular structure damage, resulting in diverse life-threatening diseases when produced in excess. Therefore, an antioxidant is needed to curb the overproduction of free radicals especially in biological systems (in vivo and in vitro). Despite the inherent properties limiting its bioactivities, polysaccharides from natural sources increasingly gain research attention given their position as a functional ingredient. Improving the functionality and bioactivity of polysaccharides have been established through degradation of their molecular integrity. In this critical synopsis; we articulate the effects of H2O2 on the degradation of polysaccharides from natural sources. Specifically, the synopsis focused on free radical formation/production, polysaccharide degradation processes with H2O2, the effects of polysaccharide degradation on the structural characteristics; physicochemical properties; and bioactivities; in addition to the antioxidant capability. The degradation mechanisms involving polysaccharide's antioxidative property; with some examples and their respective sources are briefly summarised.

Accelerated senescence as a cost of reproduction: Testing associations between oxidative stress and reproductive effort in rural and urban women. Am J Hum Biol 2020; 33:e23537.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is hypothesized to contribute to age-related somatic deterioration. Both reproductive and ecological context may necessitate tradeoffs that influence this outcome. We examined whether measures of lifetime reproductive effort were related to levels of oxidative stress biomarkers in peri- and post-menopausal women and whether associations were moderated by rural or urban residence. METHODS We surveyed 263 healthy women (age 62.1 ± 10.0 SD) from rural (N = 161) and urban Poland (N = 102), collecting sociodemographic data and urine samples to analyze biomarkers of oxidative stress (8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) and antioxidative defense (copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, Cu-Zn SOD). Linear regression models, adjusted for residence, were used to test for associations between reproductive effort and 8-OHdG and Cu-Zn SOD. RESULTS Univariate models demonstrated significant associations between gravidity and the biomarkers of oxidative stress (8-OHdG: R2 = 0.042, P ≤ .001; Cu-Zn SOD: R2 = 0.123, P ≤ .001). Multivariate models incorporating potential confounding variables, as well as cross-product interaction terms, indicated that gravidity was associated with 8-OHdG (P < .01, R2 adj = 0.067) and Cu-Zn SOD (P = .01, R2 adj = 0.159). Residence (ie, urban vs rural) did not significantly moderate the associations between the biomarkers and reproductive effort. CONCLUSIONS Higher lifetime reproductive effort contributes to increases in oxidative stress and antioxidative defenses. Our results provide evidence of potential mechanisms underlying the physiological tradeoffs influencing senescence for women with high reproductive effort. We illustrate the value of applying an evolutionary perspective to elucidate variation in human health and senescence.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3), one member of the antioxidant defense system and a superoxide scavenger, has been noted to be downregulated in the kidneys of diabetic mice and is characterized by a heparin-binding domain that can anchor the protein to the endothelium and extracellular matrix. The association of the serum and urinary SOD3 levels with diabetic nephropathy in different stages has never been evaluated. It remains unclear how urinary SOD3 changes in different renal diseases. We recruited 98 Taiwanese patients with type 2 diabetes and 10 patients with early chronic kidney disease (CKD) into this study. Biochemical analyses were performed, including evaluation of the serum SOD3, urinary SOD3, urinary albumin, urinary vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and urinary angiotensinogen (ANG). The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to compare various parameters among the three groups of patients: early CKD, diabetes alone, and diabetes with CKD. Results showed that lower serum and urinary SOD3 levels were observed in the group of patients with diabetes alone. Higher serum and urinary SOD3 levels were observed in the group of patients with diabetes and CKD, which had higher albuminuria and serum creatinine levels. The serum SOD3 levels were significantly positively correlated with renal function, according to the serum creatinine level. The urinary levels of SOD3 were significantly correlated with other urinary biomarkers such as urinary ANG and VEGF. Furthermore, albuminuria can positively predict the serum SOD3 level for the ratio of urinary albumin to urinary creatinine (ACR) >1,190.769 mg/g and the urinary SOD3 level for ACR ≥300 mg/g.

Abstract
We reported earlier that reactive oxygen species are implicated in necrotic injury induced by a transient exposure of cultured renal tubular cells to a high concentration of cisplatin but not in apoptosis occurring after continuous exposure to a low concentration of cisplatin. We report here the protective effect of cyclic AMP against cisplatin-induced necrosis in cultured renal tubular cells as well as cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in rats. Several pharmacological agents that stimulate cyclic AMP signaling, including the nonhydrolyzable cyclic AMP analogue dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and a prostacyclin analogue, beraprost, prevented cisplatin-induced cell injury in a protein kinase A-dependent manner. Cisplatin enhanced lipid peroxidation, decreased CuZn superoxide dismutase (SOD) while enhancing MnSOD activity, and increased cellular tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) content. The elevation of TNF-alpha content and cell injury induced by cisplatin were attenuated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors including SB203580 and PD169316. Indeed, cisplatin increased the number of phosphorylated p38 MAPK-like immunoreactive cells. These intracellular events were all reversed by antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and glutathione or cyclic AMP analogues. The in vivo acute renal injury after cisplatin injection was associated with the elevation of renal TNF-alpha content. The cisplatin-induced renal injury and the increase in TNF-alpha content were reversed by NAC or beraprost. These findings suggest that cyclic AMP protects renal tubular cells against cisplatin-induced oxidative injury by obliterating reactive oxygen species and subsequent inhibition of TNF-alpha synthesis through blockade of p38 MAPK activation.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence has shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of cell signaling events such as inflammatory reactions (superoxide) and the maintenance of vascular tone (nitric oxide). However, overproduction of ROS such as superoxide has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases including cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and pulmonary diseases. Antioxidant enzymes are, in part, responsible for maintaining low levels of these oxygen metabolites in tissues and may play key roles in controlling or preventing these conditions. One key antioxidant enzyme implicated in the regulation of ROS-mediated tissue damage is extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD). EC-SOD is found in the extracellular matrix of tissues and is ideally situated to prevent cell and tissue damage initiated by extracellularly produced ROS. In addition, EC-SOD is likely to play an important role in mediating nitric oxide-induced signaling events, since the reaction of superoxide and nitric oxide can interfere with nitric oxide signaling. This review will discuss the regulation of EC-SOD and its role in a variety of oxidant-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Extracellular-superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) [EC 1.15.1.1] is a secretory glycoprotein with an affinity for heparin-like proteoglycans. This enzyme locates in blood vessel walls at high levels and may be important for the antioxidant capability of vascular walls. Oxidative process plays an important role in atherogenesis. Lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) is generated during oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and is located within atherosclerotic plaques. Recently, lysoPC has been reported to induce transcription of a variety of cellular genes. In this study, we observed that lysoPC significantly increased the expression of EC-SOD mRNA and protein in human monocytic U937 cells, but not those of CuZn-SOD or Mn-SOD. Induced EC-SOD by lysoPC had a high affinity for heparin, and may bind to the endothelial cell surface. Very recently, it has been reported that exogenous addition of EC-SOD or overexpression of EC-SOD prevented endothelial cell-mediated oxidative modification of LDL. Therefore, it is speculated that EC-SOD is induced by lysoPC-stimulated monocytes as a feedback mechanism in vascular homeostasis.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is synthesized in mesenchymally derived cells and prevents the oxygen radical-induced injury. We studied whether kidney mesangial cells (MCs) produce EC-SOD and how its production is associated with chemokine secretion. Under unstimulated condition, MCs produced EC-SOD, and its production was correlated positively with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), but negatively with interleukin (IL)-6 or IL-8 production. By prednisolone or phorbol myristate acetate treatment, EC-SOD levels were correlated negatively with levels of IL-6 and IL-8. The presence of adenylate cyclase inhibitor 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine lost the prednisolone effect. The stimulation of EC-SOD production might be one of the important effects of prednisolone via cAMP pathway in MCs.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is widely regarded as a cytotoxic agent whose levels must be minimized by the action of antioxidant defence enzymes. In fact, H(2)O(2) is poorly reactive in the absence of transition metal ions. Exposure of certain human tissues to H(2)O(2) may be greater than is commonly supposed: substantial amounts of H(2)O(2) can be present in beverages commonly drunk (especially instant coffee), in freshly voided human urine, and in exhaled air. Levels of H(2)O(2) in the human body may be controlled not only by catabolism but also by excretion, and H(2)O(2) could play a role in the regulation of renal function and as an antibacterial agent in the urine. Urinary H(2)O(2) levels are influenced by diet, but under certain conditions might be a valuable biomarker of 'oxidative stress'.
