Michalani MLE, Passarelli M, Machado UF. Nuclear Factor-Kappa-B Mediates the Advanced Glycation End Product-Induced Repression of Slc2a4 Gene Expression in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8242. [PMID: 39125811 PMCID: PMC11311564 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158242] [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: 06/28/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Advanced glycated end products (AGEs) are cytotoxic compounds that are mainly increased in diabetes mellitus (DM), kidney failure, inflammation, and in response to the ingestion of AGE-rich diets. AGEs can also impair glycemic homeostasis by decreasing the expression of the Slc2a4 (solute carrier family 2 member 4) gene and its GLUT4 (solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4) protein in muscle. However, the mechanisms underlying AGE's effect on adipocytes have not been demonstrated yet. This study investigated the effects of AGEs upon Slc2a4/GLUT4 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, as well as the potential role of NFKB (nuclear factor NF-kappa-B) activity in the effects observed. Adipocytes were cultured in the presence of control albumin (CA) or advanced glycated albumin (GA) at concentrations of 0.4, 3.6, and 5.4 mg/mL for 24 h or 72 h. Slc2a4, Rela, and Nfkb1mRNAs were measured by RT-qPCR, GLUT4, IKKA/B, and p50/p65 NFKB subunits using Western blotting, and p50/p65 binding into the Slc2a4 promoter was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. GA at 0.4 mg/mL increased Slc2a4/GLUT4 expression after 24 h and 72 h (from 50% to 100%), but at 5.4 mg/mL, Slc2a4/GLUT4 expression decreased at 72 h (by 50%). Rela and Nfkb1 expression increased after 24 h at all concentrations, but this effect was not observed at 72 h. Furthermore, 5.4 mg/mL of GA increased the p50/p65 nuclear content and binding into Slc2a4 at 72 h. In summary, this study reveals AGE-induced and NFKB-mediated repression of Slc2a4/GLUT4 expression. This can compromise the adipocyte glucose utilization, contributing not only to the worsening of glycemic control in DM subjects but also the impairment of glycemic homeostasis in non-DM subjects under the high intake of AGE-rich foods.

Harvey DJ. Analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry: An update for 2021-2022. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2024. [PMID: 38925550 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well-established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022. As with previous review, this review also includes a few papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. The review follows the same format as previous reviews. It is divided into three sections: (1) general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, quantification and the use of computer software for structural identification. (2) Applications to various structural types such as oligo- and polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals, and (3) other general areas such as medicine, industrial processes, natural products and glycan synthesis where MALDI is extensively used. Much of the material relating to applications is presented in tabular form. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis, particularly in its ability to produce single ions from each analyte and advancements in the technique and range of applications show little sign of diminishing.

Abstract
The therapeutic benefits of phytochemicals in the treatment of various illnesses and disorders are well documented. They show significant promise for the discovery and creation of novel medications for treating a variety of human diseases. Numerous phytoconstituents have shown antibiotic, antioxidant, and wound-healing effects in the conventional system. Traditional medicines based on alkaloids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, terpenes, steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, and phytosterols have been in use for a long time and are crucial as alternative treatments. These phytochemical elements are crucial for scavenging free radicals, capturing reactive carbonyl species, changing protein glycation sites, inactivating carbohydrate hydrolases, fighting pathological conditions, and accelerating the healing of wounds. In this review, 221 research papers have been reviewed. This research sought to provide an update on the types and methods of formation of methylglyoxal-advanced glycation end products (MGO-AGEs) and molecular pathways induced by AGEs during the progression of the chronic complications of diabetes and associated diseases as well as to discuss the role of phytoconstituents in MGO scavenging and AGEs breaking. The development and commercialization of functional foods using these natural compounds can provide potential health benefits.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between serum pentosidine levels and cardiac function and vascular disease in diabetic patients, and to provide a new reference indicator for the early detection of diabetic cardiovascular complications. Materials and Methods This was a cross-sectional study. One hundred and twenty-two patients with type 2 diabetes were grouped by LVEF quartiles to compare the differences between their clinical data and serum pentosidine levels. Also, the correlation between serum pentosidine and clinical indicators was assessed. The effect of serum pentosidine on cardiac function and vascular stiffness was analyzed by multiple stepwise regression. Results Serum pentosidine levels were higher in patients with LVEF ≤57%. Serum pentosidine levels were positively correlated with waist-to-hip ratio, hemoglobin, AIP, baPWV, LVESD, and ARD, and negatively correlated with LVEF. Low serum pentosidine was associated with increased LVESD; high pentosidine was significantly associated with increased ARD, high AIP and high baPWV. Conclusion The results suggest that serum pentosidine, a member of AGEs, may reflect cardiac remodeling and dysfunction as well as atherosclerosis.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:937071.

Abstract
Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are on the rise world-wide; despite fervent advocacy for healthier diets and enhanced physical activity, these disorders persist unabated and, long-term, are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Numerous fundamental biochemical and molecular pathways participate in these events at incipient, mid- and advanced stages during atherogenesis and impaired regression of established atherosclerosis. It is proposed that upon the consumption of high fat/high sugar diets, the production of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) ligands, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), contribute to the development of foam cells, endothelial injury, vascular inflammation, and, ultimately, atherosclerosis and its consequences. RAGE/Diaphanous-1 (DIAPH1) increases macrophage foam cell formation; decreases cholesterol efflux and causes foam cells to produce and release damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) molecules, which are also ligands of RAGE. DAMPs stimulate upregulation of Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (IRF7) in macrophages, which exacerbates vascular inflammation and further perturbs cholesterol metabolism. Obesity and NAFLD, characterized by the upregulation of AGEs, ALEs and DAMPs in the target tissues, contribute to insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and type two diabetes. Once in motion, a vicious cycle of RAGE ligand production and exacerbation of RAGE/DIAPH1 signaling ensues, which, if left unchecked, augments cardiometabolic disease and its consequences. This Review focuses on RAGE/DIAPH1 and its role in perturbation of metabolism and processes that converge to augur cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
In recent decades, complex and exquisite pathways involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and inflammatory stress responses have been demonstrated to participate in the development and progression of numerous diseases, among them diabetes mellitus (DM). In those pathways, several players participate in both, reflecting a complicated interplay between ER and inflammatory stress. In DM, ER and inflammatory stress are involved in both the pathogenesis of the loss of glycemic control and the development of degenerative complications. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which in turn refeed ER and inflammatory stress, contributing to worsening glycemic homeostasis and to accelerating the development of DM complications. In this review, we present the current knowledge regarding AGEs-induced and ER/inflammation-mediated regulation of the expression of GLUT4 (solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4), as a marker of glycemic homeostasis and of cardiovascular disease (CVD) development/progression, as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in DM.

Abstract
We describe adipose stromal/stem cells (ASCs) in the structural/functional context of the adipose tissue (AT) stem niche (adiponiche), including cell-cell interactions and the microenvironment, and emphasize findings obtained in humans and in lineage-tracing models. ASCs have distinctive markers, 'colors', and anatomical 'locations' which influence their functions. Each adiponiche component can become impaired, thereby contributing to the pathological AT alterations seen in obesity and metabolic diseases. We discuss adiposopathy with a focus on adiponiche dysfunction, and underline the mechanisms that control AT expansion and energy balance. Better understanding of adiponiche regulation and ASC features could help to identify therapeutic targets that favor weight loss and counteract weight regain, and also contribute to innovative strategies for regenerative medicine.
