Abstract
Diabetes and cancer are two prevalent disorders, pose significant public health challenges and contribute substantially to global mortality rates, with solely 10 million reported cancer-related deaths in 2020. This review explores the pathological association between diabetes and diverse cancer progressions, examining molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic intersections. From altered metabolic landscapes to dysregulated signaling pathways, the intricate links are delineated, offering a comprehensive understanding of diabetes as a modulator of tumorigenesis. Cancer cells develop drug resistance through mechanisms like enhanced drug efflux, genetic mutations, and altered drug metabolism, allowing them to survive despite chemotherapeutic agent. Glucose emerges as a pivotal player in diabetes progression, and serving as a crucial energy source for cancer cells, supporting their biosynthetic needs and adaptation to diverse microenvironments. Glycation, a non-enzymatic process that produces advanced glycation end products (AGEs), has been linked to the etiology of cancer and has been shown in a number of tumor forms, such as leiomyosarcomas, adenocarcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, in aggressive and metastatic breast cancer, the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) is increased, which may increase the malignancy of the tumor. Reprogramming glucose metabolism manifests as hallmark cancer features, including accelerated cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and evasion of apoptosis. This manuscript encapsulates the dual narrative of diabetes as a driver of cancer progression and the potential of repurposed antidiabetic drugs as formidable countermeasures. The amalgamation of mechanistic understanding and clinical trial outcomes establishes a robust foundation for further translational research and therapeutic advancements in the dynamic intersection of diabetes and cancer.

Abstract
Erianin is an important bibenzyl compound in dendrobium and has a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. Since Erianin was discovered, abundant results have been achieved in the in vitro synthesis, structural modification, and pharmacological mechanism research. Researchers have developed a series of simple and efficient in vitro synthesis methods to improve the shortcomings of poor water solubility by replacing the chemical structure or coating it in nanomaterials. Erianin has a broad anti-tumor spectrum and significant anti-tumor effects. In addition, Erianin also has pharmacological actions like immune regulation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenesis. A comprehensive understanding of the synthesis, metabolism, structural modification, and pharmacological action pathways of Erianin is of great value for the utilization of Erianin. Therefore, this review conducts a relatively systematic look back at Erianin from the above four aspects, to give a reference for the evolvement and further appliance of Erianin.

Dendrobium officinale Kinura et Migo glycoprotein promotes skin wound healing by regulating extracellular matrix secretion and fibroblast proliferation on the proliferation phase. Wound Repair Regen 2024; 32:55-66. [PMID: 38113346 DOI: 10.1111/wrr.13144] [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: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Dendrobium officinale Kinura et Migo (DOKM) has a variety of medicinal applications; however, its ability to promote wound healing has not been previously reported. The purpose of this study is to investigate the proliferative phase of the wound-healing effect of DOKM glycoprotein (DOKMG) in rats and to elucidate its mechanism of action in vitro. In the present study, the ointment mixture containing DOKMG was applied to the dorsal skin wounds of the full-thickness skin excision rat model, and the results showed that the wound healing speed was faster in the proliferative phase than vaseline. Histological analysis demonstrates that DOKMG promoted the re-epithelialization of wound skin. Immunofluorescence staining and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays revealed that DOKMG promotes the secretion of Fibronectin and inhibits the secretion of Collagen IV during the granulation tissue formation period, indicating that DOKMG could accelerate the formation of granulation tissue by precisely regulating extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion. In addition, we demonstrated that DOKMG enhanced the migration and proliferation of fibroblast (3T6 cell) in two-dimensional trauma by regulating the secretion of ECM, via a mechanism that may implicate the AKT and JAK/STAT pathways under the control of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling. In summary, we have demonstrated that DOKMG promotes wound healing during the proliferative phase. Therefore, we suggest that DOKMG may have a potential therapeutic application for the treatment and management of cutaneous wounds.

Abstract
The aberrant transformation of normal cells into cancer cells, known as carcinogenesis, is a complex process involving numerous genetic and molecular alterations in response to innate and environmental stimuli. The Src family kinases (SFK) are key components of signaling pathways implicated in carcinogenesis, with c-Src and its oncogenic counterpart v-Src often playing a significant role. The discovery of c-Src represents a compelling narrative highlighting groundbreaking discoveries and valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis. Upon oncogenic activation, c-Src activates multiple downstream signaling pathways, including the PI3K-AKT pathway, the Ras-MAPK pathway, the JAK-STAT3 pathway, and the FAK/Paxillin pathway, which are important for cell proliferation, survival, migration, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. In this review, we delve into the discovery of c-Src and v-Src, the structure of c-Src, and the molecular mechanisms that activate c-Src. We also focus on the various signaling pathways that c-Src employs to promote oncogenesis and resistance to chemotherapy drugs as well as molecularly targeted agents.

Glycation of fibronectin impairs angiopoietin-1/Tie-2 signaling through uncoupling Tie-2-α5β1 integrin crosstalk. Cell Signal 2023; 112:110916.

Abstract
The dysfunction of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1)/Tie-2 signaling pathways has been implicated in diabetic complications. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Fibronectin (FN) is thought to have an important role in regulating Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling activation. But no previous study has investigated the effects of FN glycation on Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling. In the present study, FN was glycated by methylglyoxal (MGO) to investigate whether the glycation of FN contributes to diabetes-induced Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling impairment and to understand the molecular mechanisms involved. The results demonstrated that MGO-glycated FN significantly impaired Ang-1-evoked phosphorylation of Tie-2 and Akt, Ang-1-induced endothelial cell migration and tube formation and Ang-1-mediated cell survival. The glycation of FN also inhibited the binding of α5β1 integrin to Tie-2. Moreover, FN was remarkably modified by AGEs in aortae derived from db/db mice, indicating the glycation of FN in vivo. Ang-1-induced aortic ring vessel outgrowth and Ang-1-mediated cell survival were also both significantly inhibited in aortae from db/db mice compared to that from the wild type littermates. Moreover, FN, rather than glycated FN partly restored aortic ring angiogenesis in db/db mice, indicating that the angiogenesis defect in the db/db mice are due to FN glycation. Collectively, the results in the present study suggest that the glycation of FN impairs Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling pathway by uncoupling Tie-2-α5β1 integrin crosstalk. This may provide a mechanism for Ang-1/Tie-2 signaling dysfunction and angiogenesis failure in diabetic ischaemic diseases.

Abstract
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is a leading cause of irreversible visual impairment in the elderly. The current management of nAMD is limited and involves regular intravitreal administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF). However, the effectiveness of these treatments is limited by overlapping and compensatory pathways leading to unresponsiveness to anti-VEGF treatments in a significant portion of nAMD patients. Therefore, a system view of pathways involved in pathophysiology of nAMD will have significant clinical value. The aim of this study was to identify proteins, miRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), various metabolites, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a significant role in the pathogenesis of nAMD. To accomplish this goal, we conducted a multi-layer network analysis, which identified 30 key genes, six miRNAs, and four lncRNAs. We also found three key metabolites that are common with AMD, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia. Moreover, we identified nine key SNPs and their related genes that are common among AMD, AD, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, our findings suggest that there exists a connection between nAMD and the aforementioned neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, our study also demonstrates the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence, specifically the LSTM network, a fuzzy logic model, and genetic algorithms, to identify important metabolites in complex metabolic pathways to open new avenues for the design and/or repurposing of drugs for nAMD treatment.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2023; 325:C1228-C1243. [PMID: 37721000 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00048.2023] [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: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is one of the most abundant biochemical constitutes within the stem cell microenvironment and is postulated to play critical roles in cell migration. However, it is unclear whether ATP regulates the cell migration of CD34+ vascular wall-resident stem/progenitor cells (VW-SCs) and participates in angiogenesis. Therefore, the biological mechanisms of cell migration mediated by ATP was determined by in vivo subcutaneous matrigel plug assay, ex vivo aortic ring assay, in vitro transwell migration assay, and other molecular methods. In the present study, ATP dose-dependently promoted CD34+ VW-SCs migration, which was more obviously attenuated by inhibiting or knocking down P2Y2 than P2Y6. Furthermore, it was confirmed that ATP potently promoted the migration of resident CD34+ cells from cultured aortic artery rings and differentiation into endothelial cells in matrigel plugs by using inducible lineage tracing Cd34-CreERT2; R26-tdTomato mice, whereas P2Y2 and P2Y6 blocker greatly inhibited the effect of ATP. In addition, ATP enhanced the protein expression of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) on cell membrane, blocking the calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel with shSTIM1 or BTP2 apparently inhibited ATP-evoked intracellular Ca2+ elevation and channel opening, thereby suppressing ATP-driven cell migration. Moreover, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) inhibitor PD98059 and p38 inhibitor SB203580 remarkably inhibited ERK and p38 phosphorylation, cytoskeleton rearrangement, and subsequent cell migration. Unexpectedly, it was found that knocking down STIM1 greatly inhibited ATP-triggered ERK/p38 activation. Taken together, it was suggested that P2Y2 signaled through the CRAC channel mediated Ca2+ influx and ERK/p38 pathway to reorganize the cytoskeleton and promoted the migration of CD34+ VW-SCs.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we observed that the purinergic receptor P2Y2 is critical in the regulation of vascular wall-resident CD34+ cells' migration. ATP could activate STIM1-mediated extracellular Ca2+ entry by triggering STIM1 translocation to the plasma membrane, and knockdown of STIM1 prevented ERK/p38 activation-mediated cytoskeleton rearrangement and cell migration.

Abstract
Each step in angiogenesis is regulated by the extracellular matrix (ECM). Accumulating evidence indicates that ageing-related changes in the ECM driven by cellular senescence lead to a reduction in neovascularisation, reduced microvascular density, and an increased risk of tissue ischaemic injury. These changes can lead to health events that have major negative impacts on quality of life and place a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. Elucidating interactions between the ECM and cells during angiogenesis in the context of ageing is neceary to clarify the mechanisms underlying reduced angiogenesis in older adults. In this review, we summarize ageing-related changes in the composition, structure, and function of the ECM and their relevance for angiogenesis. Then, we explore in detail the mechanisms of interaction between the aged ECM and cells during impaired angiogenesis in the older population for the first time, discussing diseases caused by restricted angiogenesis. We also outline several novel pro-angiogenic therapeutic strategies targeting the ECM that can provide new insights into the choice of appropriate treatments for a variety of age-related diseases. Based on the knowledge gathered from recent reports and journal articles, we provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying impaired angiogenesis with age and contribute to the development of effective treatments that will enhance quality of life.

Abstract
Diabetes is associated with vascular injury and the onset of macrovascular complications. Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and the AGE precursor methylglyoxal (MGO) have been identified as key players in establishing the relationship between diabetes and vascular injury. While most research has focused on the link between AGEs and vascular injury, less is known about the effects of MGO on vasculature. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms linking AGEs and MGO to the development of atherosclerosis. AGEs and MGO are involved in many stages of atherosclerosis progression. However, more research is needed to determine the exact mechanisms underlying these effects. Nevertheless, AGEs and MGO could represent valid therapeutic targets for the macrovascular complications of diabetes.

Glycation of Tie-2 Inhibits Angiopoietin-1 Signaling Activation and Angiopoietin-1-Induced Angiogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137137. [PMID: 35806141 PMCID: PMC9266685 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The impairment of the angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1)/Tie-2 signaling pathway has been thought to play a critical role in diabetic complications. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aims to investigate the effects of Tie-2 glycation on Ang-1 signaling activation and Ang-1-induced angiogenesis. We identified that Tie-2 was modified by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in aortae derived from high fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and in methylglyoxal (MGO)-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). MGO-induced Tie-2 glycation significantly inhibited Ang-1-evoked Tie-2 and Akt phosphorylation and Ang-1-regulated endothelial cell migration and tube formation, whereas the blockade of AGE formation by aminoguanidine remarkably rescued Ang-1 signaling activation and Ang-1-induced angiogenesis in vitro. Furthermore, MGO treatment markedly increased AGE cross-linking of Tie-2 in cultured aortae ex vivo and MGO-induced Tie-2 glycation also significantly decreased Ang-1-induced vessel outgrow from aortic rings. Collectively, these data suggest that Tie-2 may be modified by AGEs in diabetes mellitus and that Tie-2 glycation inhibits Ang-1 signaling activation and Ang-1-induced angiogenesis. This may provide a novel mechanism for Ang-1/Tie-2 signal dysfunction and angiogenesis failure in diabetic ischaemic diseases.

Cytotoxic Ruthenium(II) Complexes of Pyrazolylbenzimidazole Ligands That Inhibit VEGFR2 Phosphorylation. Inorg Chem 2021; 60:18379-18394.

Abstract
Eight new ruthenium(II) complexes of N,N-chelating pyrazolylbenzimidazole ligands of the general formula [RuII(p-cym)(L)X]+ [where the ligand L is 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (L1) substituted at the 4 position of the pyrazole ring by Cl (L2), Br (L3), or I (L4) and X = Cl- and I-] were synthesized and characterized using various analytical techniques. Complexes 1 and 3 were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and they crystallized as a monoclinic crystal system in space groups P21/n and P21/c, respectively. The complexes display good solution stability at physiological pH 7.4. The iodido-coordinated pyrazolylbenzimidazole ruthenium(II) p-cymene complexes (2, 4, 6, and 8) are more resistant toward hydrolysis and have less tendency to form monoaquated complexes in comparison to their chlorido analogues (1, 3, 5, and 7). The halido-substituted 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole ligands, designed as organic-directing molecules, inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) phosphorylation. In addition, the ruthenium(II) complexes display a potential to bind to DNA bases. The cytotoxicity profile of the complexes (IC50 ca. 9-12 μM for 4-8) against the triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) show that most of the complexes are efficient. The lipophilicity and cellular accumulation data of the complexes show a good correlation with the cytotoxicity profile of 1-8. The representative complexes 3 and 7 demonstrate the capability of arresting the cell cycle in the G2/M phase and induce apoptosis. The inhibition of VEGFR2 phosphorylation with the representative ligands L2 and L4 and the corresponding metal complexes 3 and 7 in vitro shows that the organic-directing ligands and their complexes inhibit VEGFR2 phosphorylation. Besides, L2, L4, 3, and 7 inhibit the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (Src), capable of acting downstream of VEGFR2 as well as independently. Compounds L2, L4, 3, and 7 have a lesser effect on ERK1/2 and more prominently affect Src phosphorylation. We extended the study for L2 and 3 in the Tg(fli1:gfp) zebrafish model and found that L2 is more effective in vivo compared to 3 in inhibiting angiogenesis.

J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:9154-9164. [PMID: 32613750 PMCID: PMC7417727 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycation of extracellular matrix proteins has been demonstrated to contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular complications. However, no previous report has shown the role of glycated fibronectin (FN) in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐induced angiogenesis. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of glycated FN on VEGF signalling and to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved. FN was incubated with methylglyoxal (MGO) in vitro to synthesize glycated FN, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were seeded onto unmodified and MGO‐glycated FN. Then, VEGF‐induced angiogenesis and VEGF‐induced VEGF receptor‐2 (VEGFR‐2) signalling activation were measured. The results demonstrated that normal FN‐positive bands (260 kD) vanished and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) appeared in MGO‐glycated FN and glycated FN clearly changed to a higher molecular mass. The glycation of FN inhibited VEGF‐induced VEGF receptor‐2 (VEGFR‐2), Akt and ERK1/2 activation and VEGF‐induced cell migration, proliferation and tube formation. The glycation of FN also inhibited the recruitment of c‐Src to VEGFR‐2 by sequestering c‐Src through receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and the anti‐RAGE antibody restored VEGF‐induced VEGFR‐2, Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tube formation. Furthermore, the glycation of FN significantly inhibited VEGF‐induced neovascularization in the Matrigel plugs implanted into subcutaneous tissue of mice. Taken together, these data suggest that the glycation of FN may inhibit VEGF signalling and VEGF‐induced angiogenesis by uncoupling VEGFR‐2‐c‐Src interaction. This may provide a novel mechanism for the impaired angiogenesis in diabetic ischaemic diseases.
