Inhibition of Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis alleviates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in type 2 diabetic rats. Sci Rep 2024; 14:19420. [PMID: 39169211 PMCID: PMC11339408 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70477-5] [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: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular complications pose a significant burden in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), driven by the intricate interplay of chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism disturbances. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) exacerbates cardiac vulnerability. This study aims to probe the role of Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in global ischemia/reperfusion injury among T2DM rats undergoing CPB, elucidating the mechanisms underlying heightened myocardial injury in T2DM. This study established a rat model of T2DM and compared Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and hematocrit (Hct) between T2DM and normal rats. Myocardial cell morphology, infarction area, mitochondrial ROS and caspase-1 levels, NLRP3, pro-caspase-1, caspase-1 p10, GSDMD expressions, plasma CK-MB, cTnI, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels were assessed after reperfusion in both T2DM and normal rats. The role of Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury during CPB in T2DM rats was examined using the caspase-1 inhibitor VX-765 and the ROS scavenger NAC. T2DM rats demonstrated impaired glucose tolerance but stable hemodynamics during CPB, while showing heightened vulnerability to MI/R injury. This was marked by substantial lipid deposition, disrupted myocardial fibers, and intensified cellular apoptosis. The activation of caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production further contributed to tissue damage and the ensuing inflammatory response. Notably, myocardial injury was mitigated by inhibiting caspase-1 through VX-765, which also attenuated the inflammatory cascade. Likewise, NAC treatment reduced oxidative stress and partially suppressed ROS-mediated caspase-1 activation, resulting in diminished myocardial injury. This study proved that Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis significantly contributes to the inflammation and injury stemming from global MI/R in T2DM rats under CPB, which correlate with the surplus ROS generated by oxidative stress during reperfusion.

J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 19:51. [PMID: 38311780 PMCID: PMC10840199 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02549-6] [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: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) constitutes a serious complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and the risk of DSWI after CABG. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify potentially relevant articles. According to rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, fourteen studies including 15,570 patients were enrolled in our meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used as the summary statistic. The robust-error meta-regression model was used to synthesize the dose-response relationship. RESULTS Our meta-analysis shows that among patients undergoing CABG, preoperative elevated HbA1c was associated with the risk of developing DSWI (OR = 2.67, 95% CI 2.00-3.58) but with low prognostic accuracy (diagnostic OR = 2.70, 95% CI 1.96-3.73; area under the curve = 0.66, 95% CI 0.62-0.70) for predicting postoperative DSWI. Subgroup analyses showed the relationship became nonsignificant in patients without diabetes and studies adopting lower HbA1c thresholds. Dose-response analysis showed a significant nonlinear (p = 0.03) relationship between HbA1c and DSWI, with a significantly increased risk of DSWI when HbA1c was > 5.7%. CONCLUSIONS An elevated HbA1c level of > 5.7% was related to a higher risk of developing DSWI after CABG, and the risk increased as the HbA1c level grew. The association between HbA1c and DSWI was nonsignificant among nondiabetic patients while significant among diabetic patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects multiple organs and systems, including the pulmonary system. Pulmonary dysfunction in DM patients has been observed and studied for years, but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. In addition to traditional mechanisms such as the production and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), angiopathy, tissue glycation, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation, recent studies have focused on programmed cell deaths (PCDs), especially the non-apoptotic ones, in diabetic pulmonary dysfunction. Non-apoptotic PCDs (NAPCDs) including autophagic cell death, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and copper-induced cell death have been found to have certain correlations with diabetes and relevant complications. The AGE-AGE receptor (RAGE) axis not only plays an important role in the traditional pathogenesis of diabetes lung disease but also plays an important role in non-apoptotic cell death. In this review, we summarize novel studies about the roles of non-apoptotic PCDs in diabetic pulmonary dysfunction and focus on their interactions with the AGE-RAGE axis.

Abstract
Programmed cell death has crucial roles in the physiological maturation of an organism, the maintenance of metabolism, and disease progression. Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death which has recently received much attention, is closely related to inflammation and occurs via canonical, non-canonical, caspase-3-dependent, and unclassified pathways. The pore-forming gasdermin proteins mediate pyroptosis by promoting cell lysis, contributing to the outflow of large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and cellular contents. Although the inflammatory response is critical for the body's defense against pathogens, uncontrolled inflammation can cause tissue damage and is a vital factor in the occurrence and progression of various diseases. In this review, we briefly summarize the major signaling pathways of pyroptosis and discuss current research on the pathological function of pyroptosis in autoinflammatory diseases and sterile inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a growing worldwide epidemic and is characterized by progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Tripartite motif protein 32 (TRIM32) belongs to the TRIM family protein and has been shown to be involve in insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and the liver. However, the effect of TRIM32 on pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and its mechanism remains unknown. In the current study, we found that serum TRIM32 concentrations of T2DM in patients were significantly elevated compared to those in healthy controls, which indicated that TRIM32 might be used as a diagnostic biomarker in T2DM patients. In INS-1 cells, exposure to high glucose (HG) conditions caused a significant elevation in TRIM32 expression and TRIM32 was located in the nucleus. Overexpression of TRIM32 in INS-1 cells exacerbated the effects of HG-induced autophagy and impaired insulin secretion. In contrast, the silencing of TRIM32 produced the opposite effect. Furthermore, TRIM32 overexpression decreased the phosphorylation levels of Akt and mTOR under HG conditions. However, the activation of Akt/mTOR by MHY1485 reversed the effects of TRIM32 on HG-treated INS-1 cells. Collectively, the present results suggested that TRIM32 participates in the development of T2DM by modulating autophagic cell death and insulin secretion, which might occur through the Akt/mTOR pathway. Thus, TRIM32 might be a promising target in T2DM therapy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis have gradually garnered great attention as inflammatory diseases. Previously, the fact that Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) accelerates the development of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis has been proved in animal experiments and clinical trials. However, the continued studies found that the effect of IL-1β on type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis is much more complicated than the negative impact. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin 3 domain (NLRP3) inflammasome, whose activation and assembly significantly affect the release of IL-1β, is a crucial effector activated by a variety of metabolites. The diversity of NLRP3 activation mode is one of the fundamental reasons for the intricate effects on the progression of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis, providing many new insights for us to intervene in metabolic diseases. This review focuses on how NLRP3 inflammasome affects the progression of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis and what opportunities and challenges it can bring us.

Abstract
Cerebral-cardiac syndrome (CCS) refers to cardiac dysfunction following varying brain injuries. Ischemic stroke is strongly evidenced to induce CCS characterizing as arrhythmia, myocardial damage, and heart failure. CCS is attributed to be the second leading cause of death in the post-stroke stage; however, the responsible mechanisms are obscure. Studies indicated the possible mechanisms including insular cortex injury, autonomic imbalance, catecholamine surge, immune response, and systemic inflammation. Of note, the characteristics of the stroke population reveal a common comorbidity with diabetes. The close and causative correlation of diabetes and stroke directs the involvement of diabetes in CCS. Nevertheless, the role of diabetes and its corresponding molecular mechanisms in CCS have not been clarified. Here we conclude the features of CCS and the potential role of diabetes in CCS. Diabetes drives establish a “primed” inflammatory microenvironment and further induces severe systemic inflammation after stroke. The boosted inflammation is suspected to provoke cardiac pathological changes and hence exacerbate CCS. Importantly, as the key element of inflammation, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is indicated to play an important role in diabetes, stroke, and the sequential CCS. Overall, we characterize the corresponding role of diabetes in CCS and speculate a link of NLRP3 inflammasome between them.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important organelle for the protein synthesis, modification, folding, assembly, and the transport of new peptide chains. When the folding ability of ER proteins is impaired, the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in ER leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, can induce the maturation and secretion of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 through activating caspase-1. It is associated with many diseases. Studies have shown that ERS can regulate NLRP3 inflammasome in many diseases including diabetes. However, the mechanism of the effects of ERS on NLRP3 inflammasome in diabetes has not been fully understood. This review summarizes the recent researches about the effects of ERS on NLRP3 inflammasome and the related mechanism in diabetes to provide ideas for the relevant basic research in the future.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the main current threats to human health. Both T2D and its numerous clinical complications are related to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Over the past decade, great progress has been made in extending our knowledge about the signaling events regulated by mitochondria. However, the links among mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and activation of the inflammasome still need to be clarified. In light of this deficit, we aim to provide a review of the existing literature concerning the complicated crosstalk between mitochondrial impairment, autophagy, ER stress, and the inflammasome in the molecular pathogenesis of T2D.

Systemic Oxidative Stress and Visceral Adipose Tissue Mediators of NLRP3 Inflammasome and Autophagy Are Reduced in Obese Type 2 Diabetic Patients Treated with Metformin. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9090892. [PMID: 32967076 PMCID: PMC7555880 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9090892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a low-grade inflammatory condition affecting a range of individuals, from metabolically healthy obese (MHO) subjects to type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Metformin has been shown to display anti-inflammatory properties, though the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. To study whether the effects of metformin are mediated by changes in the inflammasome complex and autophagy in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of obese patients, a biopsy of VAT was obtained from a total of 68 obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. The patients were clustered into two groups: MHO patients and T2D patients treated with metformin. Patients treated with metformin showed decreased levels of all analyzed serum pro-inflammatory markers (TNFα, IL6, IL1β and MCP1) and a downwards trend in IL18 levels associated with a lower production of oxidative stress markers in leukocytes (mitochondrial ROS and myeloperoxidase (MPO)). A reduction in protein levels of MCP1, NFκB, NLRP3, ASC, ATG5, Beclin1 and CHOP and an increase in p62 were also observed in the VAT of the diabetic group. This downregulation of both the NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy in VAT may be associated with the improved inflammatory profile and leukocyte homeostasis seen in obese T2D patients treated with metformin with respect to MHO subjects and endorses the cardiometabolic protective effect of this drug.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes has been associated with oxidative stress. This study evaluates the rates of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, leukocyte–endothelium interactions and adhesion molecules in type 1 diabetic patients. The study population consisted of 52 diabetic patients and 46 body-composition and age-matched controls. We assessed anthropometric and metabolic parameters, oxidative stress and mitochondrial function by evaluating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) expression in polymorphonuclear leukocytes from type 1 diabetic patients. In addition, we evaluated interactions between leukocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and serum expression of adhesion molecules (P-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNFα) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). HbA1C and glucose levels were higher in diabetic patients than in control subjects, as expected. Mitochondrial function was altered and leukocyte–endothelium interactions were enhanced in diabetic patients, which was evident in the increase in total and mitochondrial ROS production, higher mitochondrial membrane potential, enhanced leukocyte rolling and adhesion, and decreased rolling velocity. Furthermore, we observed an increase in levels of adhesion molecules P-selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 in these subjects. In addition, type 1 diabetic patients exhibited an increase in proinflammatory mediators TNFα and MPO, and a decreased expression of SOD. The enhancement of leukocyte–endothelium interactions and proinflammatory markers correlated with glucose and HbA1Clevels. Mitochondrial alteration, oxidative stress, and enhanced leukocyte–endothelium interactions are features of type 1 diabetes and may be related to cardiovascular implications.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a very prevalent, multisystemic, chronic metabolic disorder closely related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. It is characterised by mitochondrial dysfunction and the presence of oxidative stress. Metformin is one of the safest and most effective anti-hyperglycaemic agents currently employed as first-line oral therapy for T2D. It has demonstrated additional beneficial effects, unrelated to its hypoglycaemic action, on weight loss and several diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders and metabolic diseases, including thyroid diseases. Despite the vast clinical experience gained over several decades of use, the mechanism of action of metformin is still not fully understood. This review provides an overview of the existing literature concerning the beneficial mitochondrial and vascular effects of metformin, which it exerts by diminishing oxidative stress and reducing leukocyte-endothelium interactions. Specifically, we describe the molecular mechanisms involved in metformin's effect on gluconeogenesis, its capacity to interfere with major metabolic pathways (AMPK and mTORC1), its action on mitochondria and its antioxidant effects. We also discuss potential targets for therapeutic intervention based on these molecular actions.

Abstract
Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, manifested by reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) in islets is an endogenous inhibitor of calcium-activated protein phosphatase. Previous studies have indicated that global RCAN1 overexpression under high nutrient stress is involved in insulin resistance in T2D. However, the specific role and mechanism of this gene's overexpression in pancreatic β-cells have not been thoroughly elucidated to date. Results: In this study, we showed that mice overexpressing islet-specific RCAN1 exhibited a prediabetic phenotype with markedly reduced GSIS under nutrient stress. Overexpression of RCAN1 increased the autophagy-associated DNA methylation level of Beclin-1 suppressing the induction of autophagy, affected the protein kinase B, and downregulated the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin, leading to Miro1-mediated mitophagy deficiency. Furthermore, the exacerbated impairment of autophagy induction and mitophagy flux failures induced β-cell apoptosis, resulting in GSIS impairment, lipid imbalance, and NOD-like receptor 3 proinflammation under high nutrient stress in mice. Innovation: Our present data identify a detrimental effect of RCAN1 overexpression on Miro1-mediated mitophagy deficiency and β-cell dysfunction in high-fat diet-fed RCAN1 overexpressing mice. Conclusion: Our results revealed that strategies targeting RCAN1 in vivo may provide a therapeutic target to enhance β-cell mitophagy quality and may determine the crucial factor in T2D development.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a form of cell death mediated by gasdermin D (GSDMD); it is characterised by NLRP3 inflammasome activation, caspase activation, cell membrane pore formation, and the release of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. NLRP3 inflammasome activation plays a central role in pyroptosis. Recent research has suggested that NLRP3 inflammasome activation may be involved in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus and its associated complications. This finding provided the impetus for us to clarify the significance of pyroptosis in diabetes. In this review, we summarise the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pyroptosis, as well as recent advances in the role of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis in the development of diabetes and diabetic complications.

Abstract
Autoimmune myocarditis is a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. MicroRNAs regulate many immune processes, but their role in aberrant inflammation during autoimmune myocarditis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-223-3p in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM). We found that miR-223-3p expression was significantly lower in EAM mice than that in normal mice. miR-223-3p inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome expression, promoting the polarization of dendritic cells (DCs) towards a tolerogenic DC phenotype. miR-223-3p effectively induced regulatory T cell (Treg) generation by inhibiting the function of antigen-presenting DCs. Transfer of miR-223-3p-overexpressing DCs protected mice against the development of EAM. Our findings suggest that miR-223-3p is involved in the induction of the tolerogenic DC phenotype and regulates tolerance in autoimmune myocarditis.
