Abstract
Obesity and chronic low-grade inflammation, often occurring together, significantly contribute to severe metabolic and inflammatory conditions like type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer. A key player is elevated levels of gut dysbiosis-associated lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which disrupts metabolic and immune signaling leading to metabolic endotoxemia, while short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) beneficially regulate these processes during homeostasis. SCFAs not only safeguard the gut barrier but also exert metabolic and immunomodulatory effects via G protein-coupled receptor binding and epigenetic regulation. SCFAs are emerging as potential agents to counteract dysbiosis-induced epigenetic changes, specifically targeting metabolic and inflammatory genes through DNA methylation, histone acetylation, microRNAs (miRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). To assess whether SCFAs can effectively interrupt the detrimental cascade of obesity and inflammation, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current evidence for their clinical application. The review emphasizes factors influencing SCFA production, the intricate connections between metabolism, the immune system, and the gut microbiome, and the epigenetic mechanisms regulated by SCFAs that impact metabolism and the immune system.

Integrative ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis associated with diabetic nephropathy and identification of novel targets for treatment by dapagliflozin. Cell Biochem Funct 2024; 42:e3943. [PMID: 38379015 DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Dapagliflozin (DAPA) are clinically effective in improving diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, whether and how chromatin accessibility changed by DN responds to DAPA treatment is unclear. Therefore, we performed ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and weighted gene correlation network analysis to identify the chromatin accessibility, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, and the correlation between clinical phenotypes and mRNA expression using kidney from three mouse groups: db/m mice (Controls), db/db mice (case group), and those treated with DAPA (treatment group). RNA-Seq and ATAC-seq conjoint analysis revealed many overlapping pathways and networks suggesting that the transcriptional changes of DN and DAPA intervention largely occured dependently on chromatin remodeling. Specifically, the results showed that some key signal transduction pathways, such as immune dysfunction, glucolipid metabolism, oxidative stress and xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism, were repeatedly enriched in the analysis of the RNA-seq data alone, as well as combined analysis with ATAC-seq data. Furthermore, we identified some candidate genes (UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, Dock2, Tbc1d10c, etc.) and transcriptional regulators (KLF6 and GFI1) that might be associated with DN and DAPA restoration. These reversed genes and regulators confirmed that pathways related to immune response and metabolism pathways were critically involved in DN progression.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the leading cause of the end-stage renal disease and is a major burden on the healthcare system. The current understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the progression of DKD recognizes the involvement of oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, and fibrosis. Several circulating metabolites that are the end products of the fermentation process, released by the gut microbiota, are known to be associated with systemic immune-inflammatory responses and kidney injury. This phenomenon has been recognized as the “gut–kidney axis.” Butyrate is produced predominantly by gut microbiota fermentation of dietary fiber and undigested carbohydrates. In addition to its important role as a fuel for colonic epithelial cells, butyrate has been demonstrated to ameliorate obesity, diabetes, and kidney diseases via G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). It also acts as an epigenetic regulator by inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC), up-regulation of miRNAs, or induction of the histone butyrylation and autophagy processes. This review aims to outline the existing literature on the treatment of DKD by butyrate in animal models and cell culture experiments, and to explore the protective effects of butyrate on DKD and the underlying molecular mechanism.

Effects of Butyrate Supplementation on Inflammation and Kidney Parameters in Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133573. [PMID: 35806857 PMCID: PMC9267418 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11133573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is associated with increased intestinal inflammation and decreased abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria. We investigated the effect of butyrate on inflammation, kidney parameters, HbA1c, serum metabolites and gastrointestinal symptoms in persons with type 1 diabetes, albuminuria and intestinal inflammation. We conducted a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel clinical study involving 53 participants randomized to 3.6 g sodium butyrate daily or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change in fecal calprotectin. Additional endpoints were the change in fecal short chain fatty acids, intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity and immunoglobulins, serum lipopolysaccharide, CRP, albuminuria, kidney function, HbA1c, metabolites and gastrointestinal symptoms. The mean age was 54 ± 13 years, and the median [Q1:Q3] urinary albumin excretion was 46 [14:121] mg/g. The median fecal calprotectin in the butyrate group was 48 [26:100] μg/g at baseline, and the change was −1.0 [−20:10] μg/g; the median in the placebo group was 61 [25:139] μg/g at baseline, and the change was −12 [−95:1] μg/g. The difference between the groups was not significant (p = 0.24); neither did we find an effect of butyrate compared to placebo on the other inflammatory markers, kidney parameters, HbA1c, metabolites nor gastrointestinal symptoms. Twelve weeks of butyrate supplementation did not reduce intestinal inflammation in persons with type 1 diabetes, albuminuria and intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a debilitating disease associated with several secondary complications that increase comorbidity and mortality. In patients with CKD, there is a significant qualitative and quantitative alteration in the gut microbiota, which, consequently, also leads to reduced production of beneficial bacterial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids. Evidence supports the beneficial effects of short-chain fatty acids in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, which are implicated in CKD pathogenesis and progression. Therefore, this review will provide an overview of the current knowledge, based on pre-clinical and clinical evidence, on the effect of SCFAs on CKD-associated inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Diabetic renal injury was associated with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier. Punicalagin (PU) from pomegranates potentially impacts the microbial ecosystem, intestinal barrier, and renal function. Therefore, we hypothesized that PU may improve diabetic renal injury by modulating the gut-kidney axis. The present study evaluated the effect of PU on the gut-kidney axis and kidney function in a diabetic renal injury mouse model induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Mice were fed a HFD without PU or with at doses of 50 and 100 mg kg-1 d-1 for 8 weeks. Targeted metabolomics by GC-MS and 16S rRNA sequencing were implemented to determine short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and microbes. Further RNA sequencing analyses were performed to determine which differentially expressed genes were changed by PU. Compared with the DM model group, PU supplementation improved diabetic renal injury, ameliorated kidney architecture and function, and reshaped gut microbial ecology. Additionally, PU reversed HFD-induced gut barrier dysfunction, promoted cecal SCFA concentrations and inhibited serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and diamine oxidase (DAO) levels. Moreover, correlation analysis found that cecal SCFAs were significantly negatively correlated with inflammation-related genes in the kidney. The present results indicated that PU, a promising bioactive polyphenol, successfully improved diabetic renal injury, most likely through the gut-kidney axis.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), is a new type of oral hypoglycemic drugs which can promote glucose excretion in the kidney. Studies have shown that dapagliflozin has renoprotective effect in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we combined integrated RNA sequencing and network pharmacology approach to investigate the molecular mechanism of dapagliflozin for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Dapagliflozin significantly relieved glucose intolerance, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) and renal pathological injuries of db/db mice. The LncRNA and mRNA expression in kidney tissues from control group (CR), db/db group (DN) and dapagliflozin group (DG) were assessed by RNA sequencing. We identified 7 LncRNAs and 64 mRNAs common differentially expressed in CR vs DN and DN vs DG, which were used to construct co-expression network to reveal significantly correlated expression patterns in DN. In addition, network pharmacology was used to predict the therapeutic targets of dapagliflozin and we constructed component-target-pathway network according to the results of RNA sequencing and network pharmacology. We found that SMAD9, PPARG, CD36, CYP4A12A, CYP4A12B, CASP3, H2-DMB2, MAPK1, MAPK3, C3 and IL-10 might be the pivotal targets of dapagliflozin for treating DN and these genes were mainly enriched in pathways including TGF-β signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, Chemokine signaling pathway, etc. Our results have important implication and provide novel insights into the protective mechanism of dapagliflozin for treating DN.

A micro-peptide encoded by HOXB-AS3 promotes the proliferation and viability of oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines by directly binding with IGF2BP2 to stabilize c-Myc. Oncol Lett 2021; 22:697. [PMID: 34457052 PMCID: PMC8358592 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2021.12958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
HOXB-AS3 is a long non-coding RNA and recent studies have shown that the HOXB-AS3-encoded micro-peptide was associated with the progression of colon cancer tumorigenesis; however, the biofunction of HOXB-AS3 varies in different types of cancer and the potential function in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still unknown. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was searched and the expression patterns of HOXB-AS3 in head and neck carcinoma were analyzed. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis was used to measure the mRNA and protein expression level of HOXB-AS3 in patients with OSCC, respectively. Next, HOXB-AS3 was knocked down in 2 OSCC cell lines to investigate the biological function of the HOXB-AS3-encoded protein using a Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation assays. To further identify the potential mechanism of the HOXB-AS3-encoded protein, co-immunoprecipitation was also used to detect the interaction between HOXB-AS3 and IGF2BP2, while HOXB-AS3 was re-expressed to determine whether the HOXB-AS3-encoded protein and not HOXB-AS3 exerted its function in OSCC. HOXB-AS3 was upregulated in OSCC tissues, in both TCGA database and in patients with OSCC recruited into the present study. HOXB-AS3 was associated with poor prognosis in OSCC. The proliferation and viability decreased in the 2 OSCC cell lines following knock down of HOXB-AS3. HOXB-AS3 was also found to encode a protein that directly interacted with IGF2BP2 and thereby promoted the stability of c-myc. Taken together, the results from the present study indicated that increased HOXB-AS3 expression was associated with poor prognosis in OSCC. This indicated that HOXB-AS3 and its encoded protein promoted OSCC cell proliferation and viability by maintaining c-Myc mRNA stability by directly binding to IGF2BP2.
