Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were formerly known as mere byproducts of metabolism with damaging effects on cellular structures. The discovery and description of NADPH oxidases (Nox) as a whole enzyme family that only produce this harmful group of molecules was surprising. After intensive research, seven Nox isoforms were discovered, described and extensively studied. Among them, the NADPH oxidase 3 is the perhaps most underrated Nox isoform, since it was firstly discovered in the inner ear. This stigma of Nox3 as "being only expressed in the inner ear" was also used by me several times. Therefore, the question arose whether this sentence is still valid or even usable. To this end, this review solely focuses on Nox3 and summarizes its discovery, the structural components, the activating and regulating factors, the expression in cells, tissues and organs, as well as the beneficial and detrimental effects of Nox3-mediated ROS production on body functions. Furthermore, the involvement of Nox3-derived ROS in diseases progression and, accordingly, as a potential target for disease treatment, will be discussed.

Abstract
Intractable wound healing is the habitual problem of diabetes mellitus. High blood glucose limits wound healing by interrupting inflammatory responses and inhibiting neoangiogenesis. Oxidative stress is commonly thought to be a major pathogenic cause of diabetic complications. Edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, EDV) is a free radical scavenger which suppress oxidative stress. This study investigates whether EDV can reduce oxidative stress in wound healing HaCaT/human dermal fibroblasts cells (HDFs) in vitro and in vivo animal model. Cell viability and wound healing assays, FACS flow cytometry, and Hoechst 33342 staining were performed to confirm apoptosis and cytotoxicity in H2O2 and EDV-treated HaCaT and HDFs. A streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic animal model was made in adult C57BL6 mice. Full-thickness skin flap was made on dorsomedial back and re-sutured to evaluate the wound healing process. EDV was delivered slowly in the skin flap with degradable fibrin glue. The flap was monitored and analyzed on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. CD31/DAPI staining was done to detect newly formed blood vessels. The expression levels of NF-κB, bcl-2, NOX3, and STAT3 proteins in C57BL6 mouse tissues were also examined. The wound healing process in hyper- and normoglycemic mice showed a difference in protein expression, especially in oxidative stress management and angiogenesis. Exogenous H2O2 reduced cell viability in a proportion to the concentration via apoptosis. EDV protected HaCaT cells and HDFs from H2O2 induced reactive oxygen species cell damage and apoptosis. In the mouse model, EDV with fibrin resulted in less necrotic areas and increased angiogenesis on postoperative day 5, compared to sham-treated mice. Our results indicate that EDV could protect H2O2-induced cellular injury via inhibiting early apoptosis and inflammation and also increasing angiogenesis. EDV might be valuable in the treatment of diabetic wounds that oxidative stress has been implicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several genetic susceptibility loci associated with diabetic nephropathy have been documented, but no causative variants implying novel pathogenetic mechanisms have been elucidated. METHODS We carried out whole-genome sequencing of a discovery cohort of Finnish siblings with type 1 diabetes who were discordant for the presence (case) or absence (control) of diabetic nephropathy. Controls had diabetes without complications for 15-37 years. We analyzed and annotated variants at genome, gene, and single-nucleotide variant levels. We then replicated the associated variants, genes, and regions in a replication cohort from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy study that included 3531 unrelated Finns with type 1 diabetes. RESULTS We observed protein-altering variants and an enrichment of variants in regions associated with the presence or absence of diabetic nephropathy. The replication cohort confirmed variants in both regulatory and protein-coding regions. We also observed that diabetic nephropathy-associated variants, when clustered at the gene level, are enriched in a core protein-interaction network representing proteins essential for podocyte function. These genes include protein kinases (protein kinase C isoforms ε and ι) and protein tyrosine kinase 2. CONCLUSIONS Our comprehensive analysis of a diabetic nephropathy cohort of siblings with type 1 diabetes who were discordant for kidney disease points to variants and genes that are potentially causative or protective for diabetic nephropathy. This includes variants in two isoforms of the protein kinase C family not previously linked to diabetic nephropathy, adding support to previous hypotheses that the protein kinase C family members play a role in diabetic nephropathy and might be attractive therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumors produce large amounts of basement membrane (BM) components that are widely used as cell culture substrates mimicking BM functions. To delineate the tissue/organ origin of the tumor and the mechanisms operating in the BM overproduction, a genome-wide expression profile of EHS tumor was analyzed using RIKEN cDNA microarrays containing approximately 40,000 mouse cDNA clones. Expression profiles of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells that produce laminin-1 and other BM components upon differentiation into parietal endoderm-like cells (designated F9-PE) were also analyzed. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the gene expression profiles of EHS and F9-PE were the most similar among 49 mouse tissues/organs in the RIKEN Expression Array Database, suggesting that EHS tumor is parietal endoderm-derived. Quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that not only BM components but also the machineries required for efficient production of BM components, such as enzymes involved in post-translational modification and molecular chaperones, were highly expressed in both EHS and F9-PE. Pairs of similar transcription factor isoforms, such as Gata4/Gata6, Sox7/Sox17, and Cited1/Cited2, were also highly expressed in both EHS tumor and F9-PE. Time course analysis of F9 differentiation showed that up-regulation of the transcription factors was associated with those of BM components, suggesting their involvement in parietal endoderm specification and overproduction of the BM components.

Abstract
Proteoglycans are ubiquitous extracellular proteins that serve a variety of functions throughout the organism. Unlike other glycoproteins, proteoglycans are classified based on the structure of the glycosaminoglycan carbohydrate chains, not the core proteins. Perlecan, a member of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) family, has been implicated in many complications of diabetes. Decreased levels of perlecan have been observed in the kidney and in other organs, both in patients with diabetes and in animal models. Perlecan has an important role in the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier. Decreased perlecan in the glomerular basement membrane has a central role in the development of diabetic albuminuria. The involvement of this proteoglycan in diabetic complications and the possible mechanisms underlying such a role have been addressed using a variety of models. Due to the importance of nephropathy among diabetic patients most of the studies conducted so far relate to diabetes effects on perlecan in different types of kidney cells. The various diabetic models used have provided information on some of the mechanisms underlying perlecan's role in diabetes as well as on possible factors affecting its regulation. However, many other aspects of perlecan metabolism still await full elucidation. The present review provides a description of the models that have been used to study HSPG and in particular perlecan metabolism in diabetes and some of the factors that have been found to be important in the regulation of perlecan.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of basement membrane components in Engelberth Holm Swarm-bearing mice with or without streptozotocin-induced diabetes and the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin derivatives (CY222, Sanofi Recherche/Institut Choay) on the relative rates of these synthetic activities were studied. In diabetic mice, the laminin mRNA level increased, whereas type IV collagen mRNA decreased. In vivo treatment with heparin fragments decreased the mRNA level of laminin to control values without altering the mRNA level of collagen IV. Biosynthetic studies with radiolabeled precursors ([3H]-proline for collagen and [35S]-methionine for laminin) confirmed these results. Laminin protein biosynthesis increased in diabetic mice. Treatment with CY222 corrected this alteration. Our results suggested an increased labeling of polymeric forms of collagen IV in diabetic mice. In addition, we showed that biosynthesis of acid-extractable collagen IV decreased in diabetic mice and that CY222 treatment corrected this disturbance. These experiments suggest that low-molecular-weight heparin fragments CY222 can modulate the biosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromolecules altered in diabetic animals by different pathways, including pretranslational and posttranslational steps.

Abstract
Measurements were made of the thickness of the basal lamina of perineurial cells in the sural nerve in a series of patients with diabetic neuropathy and compared with a group of patients with type I hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) and with organ donor control cases. The thickness was significantly greater in the diabetic patients as compared both with the HMSN cases and the organ donor controls. This was most obvious for the intermediate layers of the perineurium. Perineurial basal laminal thickness was only slightly greater in the HMSN cases than in the organ donor controls and the difference was not statistically significant. The thickening of the perineurial cell basal laminae was compared with the thickening of the basal laminal zone around the endoneurial microvessels. No significant correlation was found either for the diabetic neuropathy or HMSN cases or for the organ donor controls. As had been observed previously, the basal laminal zone around the endoneurial capillaries was of increased thickness both in the diabetic neuropathy and the HMSN cases and, although it was greater for the diabetic neuropathy patients, the difference was not statistically significant. Taken together, these findings indicate that the thickening of the basal lamina of the perineurial cells is a more characteristic feature of diabetic neuropathy than is thickening of the basal laminal zone around the endoneurial capillaries. The results suggest that the causative mechanisms are likely to differ, a conclusion supported by the morphological appearances: the basal laminal thickening around the perineurial cells is uniform, whereas that around the capillaries consists of basal laminal reduplication.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We investigated the role of the polyol pathway in the pathogenesis of glomerular basement membrane thickening in galactosaemic rats, an animal model that develops basement membrane lesions comparable to those of human diabetic subjects. Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats fed a 30% galactose diet for nine months developed significant glomerular basement membrane thickening by comparison with rats on a control test diet (p = 0.008). However, addition of an aldose reductase inhibitor, sorbinil (250 mg/kg diet), to the galactose diet did not prevent the increase in glomerular basement membrane thickness. Furthermore, by using a quantitative electron microscopic immunogold technique, we examined biochemical alterations in the composition of glomerular basement membranes in this animal model. The labelling density (comparable to relative concentration) of collagen type IV in thickened glomerular basement membranes of galactosaemic animals was significantly increased by comparison to those of control rats (p = 0.015). However, there was no significant difference in labelling densities of laminin and heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein of these animals. Thus, our results indicate that an increase in glomerular basement membrane thickness accompanied by an increase in the labelling density of collagen type IV occurs in the galactosaemic rats, but this thickening is not prevented by sorbinil at the dose used in this experiment. Our study raises the strong possibility that glomerular basement membrane thickening in galactosaemic rats may not be due to excessive polyol pathway activity.

Abstract
Biochemical alterations in the composition of retinal capillary basement membrane components were investigated in galactosemic rats, an animal model that develops basement membrane lesions comparable to those of diabetic retinopathy. Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats fed a 30% galactose diet for 9 months developed significant thickening of retinal capillary basement membranes by comparison with animals fed a control test diet (P less than 0.001), or animals on a diet containing 30% galactose and 250 mg kg-1 of the aldose reductase inhibitor sorbinil (P less than 0.001). A quantitative electron microscopic immunogold technique applied on ultrathin sections of the retinas of these animals showed that the labeling densities of collagen type IV and laminin per unit cross-sectional area (which is presumably proportional to the concentrations of these molecules) were significantly increased in the retinal capillary basement membranes of galactose-fed rats, compared with animals on the control test diet. Increases in these two components of basement membranes were prevented by addition of sorbinil to the diet. However, there was no significant change in the labeling density of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) core protein in the basement membranes of galactose-fed rats in comparison to animals on either the control diet or galactose-sorbinil diet. Two types of striated fibrillar materials were frequently found in areas of focal thickening of basement membranes of galactose fed rats only. Thinner fibrils reacted strongly with collagen type III antibody, whereas thicker fibrils reacted weakly with collagen type I antibody. Our results indicate that there is an increase in labeling densities of collagen type IV and laminin in thickened basement membranes of retinal capillaries of galactosemic rats along with the expression of interstitial collagens like collagen type III and an abnormal collagen that weakly cross-reacts with antibody to collagen type I, and these effects of galactosemia on the basement membranes are preventable by an aldose reductase inhibitor.

Abstract
The development of capillary basement membrane thickening has been linked to microvascular changes known to occur in tissues of patients with type II diabetes. Previous evidence has suggested that capillary basement membrane thickening is due to increased basement membrane synthesis. In this study, skin samples from 8 diabetic patients with confirmed capillary basement membrane thickening and 7 non-diabetic controls were used to assess steady state levels of mRNAs coding for several basement components including pro alpha 1(IV) collagen, laminin and fibronectin. Total RNA was extracted from abdominal skin samples and levels of mRNAs coding for the basement membrane components laminin, fibronectin and pro alpha 1(IV) collagen, a fibrillar collagenous protein, pro alpha 1(I) collagen and an intracellular polypeptide, gamma-actin, were determined by dot blot hybridization analysis. While there were no changes of steady state levels of pro alpha 1(I) collagen mRNA and laminin mRNA, a significant reduction was noted in the quantitative recovery of mRNA levels for pro alpha 1(IV) collagen, gamma-actin and fibronectin in total RNA isolated from the skin of diabetic patients. This reduction in levels of mRNAs coding for basement membrane components contrasts with pathological confirmation of an accumulation of endothelial capillary basement membrane in skin from diabetic patients and suggests that basement membrane thickening arises more as a consequence of reduced basement membrane degradation than elevated synthesis of basement membrane components.

Abstract
During Wallerian degeneration, the Schwann cell basal laminal ensheathment around myelinated nerve fibres remains after the removal of myelin and axonal debris, forming a corrugated tube within which Schwann cell proliferation takes place. In nerve biopsies from patients with diabetic neuropathy, such residual basal laminal tubes tend to be circular rather than corrugated and appear to be more persistent during regeneration; this suggests increased rigidity and durability. These changes could be the result of increased cross-linkage of type IV collagen or alterations to other components of the basal lamina. A similar mechanism may be responsible for the thickening of perineurial basal laminae and the reduplication of basal laminae around endoneurial capillaries in diabetic patients; such reduplication may lead to reduced compliance of the vessel walls and impaired vascular perfusion.

Abstract
The biosyntheses of interstitial collagens of type I and III and of fibronectin were studied in genetically diabetic KK mice, as compared to control C57 Black mice, as well as the effect of low-Mr heparin fragments (CY 222) on these biosyntheses. An increased production of type III collagen, as compared to type I collagen, could be demonstrated in explant cultures of KK mice skins. Fibronectin biosynthesis was also increased. In vivo treatment of KK mice with 1 mg/kg of CY 222 decreased the biosyntheses of type III collagen and of fibronectin to normal levels. These experiments suggest that low-Mr heparin fragments can modulate the expression of extracellular matrix macromolecules.

Abstract
The effect of serum from both type I and type II diabetic subjects on the metabolism of arterial basement membrane (BM)-like material was studied in cultures of rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells. The basement membrane-like material was isolated from the cell-layer by a combined sonication and centrifugation technique. Serum from type I diabetic persons added to the incubation medium increased statistically significantly the incorporation of L-[4,5]-3H-leucine into the basement membrane-like material as compared to serum from non-diabetic subjects (2P less than 0.05). The same effect was seen with serum from type II diabetic patients as compared to serum from nondiabetic subjects (2P less than 0.05). No effect of serum from type I diabetic persons was seen in degradation experiments. Incubation medium supplemented with normal serum and extra glucose neither changed the production of basement membrane-like material nor the disappearance rate of radioactive leucine from the basement membrane-like material in degradation experiments. The present study indicates that serum from diabetic subjects enhances the production of arterial basement membrane-like material from arterial smooth muscle cells in culture. The obtained data may be relevant for the understanding of the development of macroangiopathy among diabetic patients.

Abstract
Rats fed a high-galactose diet develop marked thickening of their retinal capillary basement membranes. The effect is prevented if the animals also receive the aldose reductase inhibitor sorbinil. The effect does not appear to be due to aldose reductase itself, since immunoreactive aldose reductase has not been found in the retinal microvasculature of the rat but rather to a related enzyme with similar substrate specificity. The detailed biochemical mechanism for basement membrane thickening is obscure, involving an alteration of the extracellular matrix, where aldose reductase and similar enzymes have not been described; osmotic damage to the microvascular cells, such as has been described following aldose reductase-induced sugar alcohol accumulation in lens epithelial cells, is not apparent in diabetic or galactosemic animals. It is possible that concentrations of intracellular sugar alcohols that do not substantially change the osmolarity of the cell cytosol alter intracellular enzyme activities. This, in turn, could affect the biosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromolecules, as suggested, for example, by the hypothesis of Rohrbach et al, based on studies of a basement membrane-producing tumor implanted in diabetic mice, which proposes that the hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus causes a reduced synthesis of the heparan sulfate BM-1 proteoglycan with a subsequent overproduction of type IV collagen. This and other hypotheses of basement membrane thickening can be tested in diabetic or galactosemic rats, some of which receive aldose reductase inhibitors, or in retinal microvascular pericytes and endothelial cells grown in culture.

Abstract
Nonenzymatic glucosylation of type I and type II collagens was examined by incubating collagen substrates with D-glucose in vitro. In one set of experiments, unlabeled collagen was incubated with [14C]-glucose and the incorporation of [14C]-radioactivity into protein was determined by TCA precipitation. The incorporation was dependent on the concentration of glucose and the time of incubation. The glucosylated product was also examined by SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. The results indicated that both alpha 1(I)- and alpha 2(I)-chains of type I collagen were glucosylated and the glucosylation occurred both with native and denatured collagen as substrate. In further studies [3H]-lysine-labeled collagens were glucosylated, the products reduced by NaBH4, and the [3H]-lysine-derived residues were separated by amino acid analyzer. After a 144 h incubation in vitro, 18.9% of [3H]-lysyl residues and 36.5% of [3H]-hydroxylysyl residues in type I collagen were substituted with glucose. In contrast, 47.9% of [3H]-lysyl residues and 68.1% of [3H]-hydroxylysyl residues in type II collagen were glucosylated after 144 h incubation. Based on quantitative amino acid analyses of the substrates, these values represent 27.6 lysine plus hydroxylysine residues substituted per triple-helical type I collagen molecule and 65.3 residues per triple-helical type II collagen molecule. Thus, type I and type II collagens display differential susceptibilities to nonenzymatic glucosylation. Finally, [3H]-proline-labeled type I collagen was glucosylated to varying extents, and the glucosylated products were used as substrates for human polymorphonuclear leukocyte collagenase. No difference in susceptibility to this collagenase was noted, irrespective of the extent of glucosylation.
