Abstract
Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics (thiazides) belong to the most frequently prescribed drugs worldwide. By virtue of their natriuretic and vasodilating properties, thiazides effectively lower blood pressure and prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes. In addition, through their unique characteristic of reducing urine calcium, thiazides are also widely employed for the prevention of kidney stone recurrence and reduction of bone fracture risk. Since their introduction into clinical medicine in the early 1960s, thiazides have been recognized for their association with metabolic side effects, particularly impaired glucose tolerance, and new-onset diabetes mellitus. Numerous hypotheses have been advanced to explain thiazide-induced glucose intolerance, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. Regrettably, the lack of understanding and unpredictability of these side effects has prompted numerous physicians to refrain from prescribing these effective, inexpensive, and widely accessible drugs. In this review, we outline the pharmacology and mechanism of action of thiazides, highlight recent advances in the understanding of thiazide-induced glucose intolerance, and provide an up-to-date discussion on the role of thiazides in kidney stone prevention.

Thiazides Attenuate Insulin Secretion Through Inhibition of Mitochondrial Carbonic Anhydrase 5b in β -Islet Cells in Mice. J Am Soc Nephrol 2023; 34:1179-1190.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Thiazide diuretics (thiazides) are among the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide, but their use is associated with glucose intolerance and new-onset diabetes mellitus. The molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Our study reveals that thiazides attenuate insulin secretion through inhibition of the mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase isoform 5b (CA5b) in pancreatic β cells. We furthermore discovered that pancreatic β cells express only one functional carbonic anhydrase isoform, CA5b, which is critical in replenishing oxaloacetate in the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (anaplerosis). These findings explain the mechanism for thiazide-induced glucose intolerance and reveal a fundamental role of CA5b in TCA cycle anaplerosis and insulin secretion in β cells. BACKGROUND Thiazide diuretics are associated with glucose intolerance and new-onset diabetes mellitus. Previous studies demonstrated that thiazides attenuate insulin secretion, but the molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that thiazides attenuate insulin secretion via one of the known molecular thiazide targets in β cells. METHODS We performed static insulin secretion experiments with islets of wild-type, Sodium/chloride co-transporter (NCC) (SLC12A3), and sodium-driven chloride/bicarbonate exchanger (NDCBE) (SLC4A8) knock-out (KO) mice and with murine Min6 cells with individual knockdown of carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms to identify the molecular target of thiazides in β cells. CA isoform 5b (CA5b) KO mice were then used to assess the role of the putative thiazide target CA5b in β -cell function and in mediating thiazide sensitivity in vitro and in vivo . RESULTS Thiazides inhibited glucose- and sulfonylurea-stimulated insulin secretion in islets and Min6 cells at pharmacologically relevant concentrations. Inhibition of insulin secretion by thiazides was CO 2 /HCO 3- -dependent, not additive to unselective CA inhibition with acetazolamide, and independent of extracellular potassium. By contrast, insulin secretion was unaltered in islets of mice lacking the known molecular thiazide targets NCC or NDCBE. CA expression profiling with subsequent knockdown of individual CA isoforms suggested mitochondrial CA5b as a molecular target. In support of these findings, thiazides significantly attenuated Krebs cycle anaplerosis through reduction of mitochondrial oxaloacetate synthesis. CA5b KO mice were resistant to thiazide-induced glucose intolerance, and thiazides did not alter insulin secretion in CA5b KO islets. CONCLUSIONS Thiazides attenuate insulin secretion via inhibition of the mitochondrial CA5b isoform in β cells of mice.

UIAA Medical Commission recommendations for mountaineers, hillwalkers, trekkers, and rock and ice climbers with diabetes. High Alt Med Biol. 24: 110-126.-The object of this advice article is not only to give the diabetic mountaineer general guidance but also to inform his or her medical team of practical aspects of care that may not be standard for nonmountaineers. The guidelines are produced in seven sections. The first is an introduction to the guidelines, and the second is an introduction to this medical problem and is designed to be read and understood by diabetic patients and their companions. The third section is for use in an emergency in mountains. The fourth is for rock, ice, and competition climbers operating in a less remote environment. These initial sections are deliberately written in simple language. The fifth and sixth sections are written for clinicians and those with skills to read more technical information, and the seventh looks at modern technology and its pros and cons in diabetes management in a remote area. Sections One and Two could be laminated and carried when in the mountains, giving practical advice.

Abstract
The management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is shifting from cardio-centric to weight-centric or, even better, adipose-centric treatments. Considering the downsides of multidrug therapies and the relevance of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) and carbonic anhydrases (CAs II and V) in T2DM and in the weight loss, we report a new class of multitarget ligands targeting the mentioned enzymes. We started from the known α1-AR inhibitor WB-4101, which was progressively modified through a tailored morphing strategy to optimize the potency of DPP IV and CAs while losing the adrenergic activity. The obtained compound 12 shows a satisfactory DPP IV inhibition with a good selectivity CA profile (DPP IV IC50: 0.0490 μM; CA II Ki 0.2615 μM; CA VA Ki 0.0941 μM; CA VB Ki 0.0428 μM). Furthermore, its DPP IV inhibitory activity in Caco-2 and its acceptable pre-ADME/Tox profile indicate it as a lead compound in this novel class of multitarget ligands.

Ozsoy HZ. Carbonic anhydrase enzymes: Likely targets for inhalational anesthetics. Med Hypotheses 2019; 123:118-124. [PMID: 30696581 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2019.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
Inhalational anesthetics such as isoflurane, desflurane and halothane are the mainstay medications for surgical procedures; upon inhalation, they produce anesthesia described as reversible unconsciousness with the features of amnesia, sleep, immobility and analgesia. To date, how they produce anesthesia is unknown. This study proposes that carbonic anhydrase enzymes are likely targets mediating the actions of inhalational anesthetics. Carbonic anhydrase enzymes, commonly expressed in living organisms, utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) as a substrate and can generate H+ and HCO3- from CO2 with a great efficiency. There are remarkable lines of evidence for their likely roles in mediating anesthetic actions. Firstly, carbonic anhydrase enzymes are extensively expressed in the brain and spinal cord, and their importance in the brain activity, especially for the GABA and NMDA receptor signaling pathways, has been demonstrated in numerous studies. According to these studies, they provide HCO3- for GABA-A receptor activities and also buffer HCO3- excess resulting from NMDA receptor activation. Activation of GABA-A and inhibition of NMDA receptors are associated with the induction of anesthesia by the intravenous general anesthetics propofol and ketamine, respectively. Secondly, the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors topiramate and zonisamide are effectively used in the treatment of epilepsy for decades; their chronic use results in the requirement of increased levels of amobarbital in order to produce anesthesia in the epileptic patients during WADA test. In addition, given that CO2 is a substrate for these enzymes, their tertiary structure is likely has a hydrophobic pocket suitable for the anesthetic molecules to bind. Inhalational anesthetic molecules, which are lipophilic and inert in nature, have an ability to cross the membranes and inhibit carbonic anhydrases, which might not be accessible by topiramate and zonisamide. Unlike carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, they could bind to the hydrophobic pocket for CO2 molecules and produce a profound effect called anesthesia. Finally, there is a great deal of similarities between the physiological actions of inhalational anesthetics and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors; moreover well-known side effects of inhalational anesthetics could be associated with the inhibition of carbonic anhydrases. Therefore, this article presents a hypothesis that the anesthetic actions of inhalational anesthetics could be due to their inhibitory effects on the carbonic anhydrases. Investigating this hypothesis might lead to the development of new safer anesthetics, and more importantly it might reveal an endogenous anesthetic pathway, in which the carbonic anhydrase system is a component along with the GABA-A and NMDA receptor systems.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia is associated with the poor outcome after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Acetazolamide (AZA), a kind of carbonic anhydrogenase (CA) inhibitor, its effectiveness in ICH had been reported. However, the connections between AZA and ICH, especially in hyperglycaemia condition had never been defined. In this study, adult Sprague-Dawley rats were administered with vehicle or streptozotocin (STZ) to render them into normoglycaemic (NG) or hyperglycaemic (HG), respectively. Collagenase was then injected into the striatum. The NG or HG ICH rats treated with vehicle control or 5 mg/kg AZA (oral gavage) underwent haemorrhagic area assessments on the 1st, 4th, and 7th day after ICH. The coverage of pericytes was examined by immunohistochemistry. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed in mouse astrocyte cell line treated with vehicle or 20 μmol/L of AZA in culture media according to two different glucose concentrations. AZA reduced the haematoma size, improved neurobehavioral functions, suppressed astrocytic ROS production in vitro, and preserved cerebral pericytes coverage, which are even more remarkable in HG conditions. The present study indicates that AZA may alleviate some sequelae after ICH, especially in poorer prognostic HG rats through the suppression of astrocytic ROS production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) exhibit adverse and beneficial effects on mitochondria, which have a strong impact on the treatment of patients with a mitochondrial disorder (MID) with epilepsy (mitochondrial epilepsy). This review aims at summarizing and discussing recent findings concerning the effect of AEDs on mitochondrial functions and the clinical consequences with regard to therapy of mitochondrial epilepsy and of MIDs in general. METHODS Literature review. RESULTS AEDs may interfere with the respiratory chain, with non-respiratory chain enzymes, carrier proteins, or mitochondrial biogenesis, with carrier proteins, membrane-bound channels or receptors and the membrane potential, with anti-oxidative defense mechanisms, with morphology, dynamics and survival of mitochondria, and with the mtDNA. There are AEDs of which adverse effects outweigh beneficial effects, such as valproic acid, carbamazepine, phenytoin, or phenobarbital and there are AEDs in which beneficial effects dominate over mitochondrial toxic effects, such as lamotrigine, levetiracetam, gabapentin, or zonisamide. However, from most AEDs only little is known about their interference with mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS Mitochondrial epilepsy might be initially treated with AEDs with low mitochondrial toxic potential. Only in case mitochondrial epilepsy is refractory to these AEDs, AEDs with higher mitochondrial toxic potential might be tried. In patients carrying POLG1 mutations AEDs with high mitochondrial toxic potential are contraindicated.

Abstract
Anions such as Cl(-) and HCO3 (-) are well known to play an important role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In this study, we demonstrate that glucose-induced Cl(-) efflux from β-cells is mediated by the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel anoctamin 1 (Ano1). Ano1 expression in rat β-cells is demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Typical Ano1 currents are observed in whole-cell and inside-out patches in the presence of intracellular Ca(++): at 1 μM, the Cl(-) current is outwardly rectifying, and at 2 μM, it becomes almost linear. The relative permeabilities of monovalent anions are NO3 (-) (1.83 ± 0.10) > Br(-) (1.42 ± 0.07) > Cl(-) (1.0). A linear single-channel current-voltage relationship shows a conductance of 8.37 pS. These currents are nearly abolished by blocking Ano1 antibodies or by the inhibitors 2-(5-ethyl-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-ylthio)-N-(4-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (T-AO1) and tannic acid (TA). These inhibitors induce a strong decrease of 16.7-mM glucose-stimulated action potential rate (at least 87 % on dispersed cells) and a partial membrane repolarization with T-AO1. They abolish or strongly inhibit the GSIS increment at 8.3 mM and at 16.7 mM glucose. Blocking Ano1 antibodies also abolish the 16.7-mM GSIS increment. Combined treatment with bumetanide and acetazolamide in low Cl(-) and HCO3 (-) media provokes a 65 % reduction in action potential (AP) amplitude and a 15-mV AP peak repolarization. Although the mechanism triggering Ano1 opening remains to be established, the present data demonstrate that Ano1 is required to sustain glucose-stimulated membrane potential oscillations and insulin secretion.

Holz GG, Leech CA, Chepurny OG. New insights concerning the molecular basis for defective glucoregulation in soluble adenylyl cyclase knockout mice. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2014; 1842:2593-600. [PMID: 24980705 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2014.06.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2014] [Revised: 06/17/2014] [Accepted: 06/18/2014] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Recently published findings indicate that a knockout (KO) of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, also known as AC-10) gene expression in mice leads to defective glucoregulation that is characterized by reduced pancreatic insulin secretion and reduced intraperitoneal glucose tolerance. Summarized here are current concepts regarding the molecular basis for this phenotype, with special emphasis on the potential role of sAC as a determinant of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Highlighted is new evidence that in pancreatic beta cells, oxidative glucose metabolism stimulates mitochondrial CO₂production that in turn generates bicarbonate ion (HCO(3)(-)). Since HCO(3)(-) binds to and directly stimulates the activity of sAC, we propose that glucose-stimulated cAMP production in beta cells is mediated not simply by transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (TMACs), but also by sAC. Based on evidence that sAC is expressed in mitochondria, there exists the possibility that beta-cell glucose metabolism is linked to mitochondrial cAMP production with consequent facilitation of oxidative phosphorylation. Since sAC is also expressed in the cytoplasm, sAC catalyzed cAMP production may activate cAMP sensors such as PKA and Epac2 to control ion channel function, intracellular Ca²⁺ handling, and Ca²⁺-dependent exocytosis. Thus, we propose that the existence of sAC in beta cells provides a new and unexpected explanation for previously reported actions of glucose metabolism to stimulate cAMP production. It seems possible that alterations of sAC activity might be of importance when evaluating new strategies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), or when evaluating why glucose metabolism fails to stimulate insulin secretion in patients diagnosed with T2DM. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The role of soluble adenylyl cyclase in health and disease.

Abstract
In the framework of recent investigations on the regulation of D-glucose production by salivary glands, the aim of the present study was to compare the uptake of 3-O-[14C]methyl-D-glucose by rat parotid cells over a 6-min incubation period at 37°C to its efflux from prelabelled parotid cells, also incubated for 6 min at 37°C. It was first assessed that the intracellular 3HOH water space, whether expressed in absolute terms or relative to the total 3HOH distribution space, is not significantly different between parotid cells obtained from either control rats or streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In the control rats, the uptake of 3-O-[14C]methyl-D-glucose corresponded, following correction for extracellular contamination, to a mean distribution space of 0.44±0.05 nl/103 cells, representing 29.8±3.4% of the intracellular water space. The efflux of 3-O-[14C]methyl-D-glucose from prelabelled parotid cells, expressed relative to their initial radioactive content, averaged 82.9±4.8 and 84.1±2.5% in control and diabetic rats, respectively. These findings suggest that the increased production of salivary D-glucose in diabetic subjects may be attributable to hyperglycemia, rather than to any major perturbation of the intrinsic processes involved, at least in parotid cells, in hexose handling.

Abstract
The mammalian Slc4 (Solute carrier 4) family of transporters is a functionally diverse group of 10 multi-spanning membrane proteins that includes three Cl-HCO3 exchangers (AE1-3), five Na(+)-coupled HCO3(-) transporters (NCBTs), and two other unusual members (AE4, BTR1). In this review, we mainly focus on the five mammalian NCBTs-NBCe1, NBCe2, NBCn1, NDCBE, and NBCn2. Each plays a specialized role in maintaining intracellular pH and, by contributing to the movement of HCO3(-) across epithelia, in maintaining whole-body pH and otherwise contributing to epithelial transport. Disruptions involving NCBT genes are linked to blindness, deafness, proximal renal tubular acidosis, mental retardation, and epilepsy. We also review AE1-3, AE4, and BTR1, addressing their relevance to the study of NCBTs. This review draws together recent advances in our understanding of the phylogenetic origins and physiological relevance of NCBTs and their progenitors. Underlying these advances is progress in such diverse disciplines as physiology, molecular biology, genetics, immunocytochemistry, proteomics, and structural biology. This review highlights the key similarities and differences between individual NCBTs and the genes that encode them and also clarifies the sometimes confusing NCBT nomenclature.

Abstract
Fully matured dental enamel is an architecturally and mechanically complex hydroxyapatite-based bioceramic devoid of most of the organic material that was essential in its making. Enamel formation is a staged process principally involving secretory and maturation stages, each associated with major changes in gene expression and cellular function. Cellular activities that define the maturation stage of amelogenesis include ion (e.g., calcium and phosphate) transport and storage, control of intracellular and extracellular pH (e.g., bicarbonate and hydrogen ion movements), and endocytosis. Recent studies on rodent amelogenesis have identified a multitude of gene products that appear to be linked to these cellular activities. This review describes the main cellular activities of these genes during the maturation stage of amelogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Stimulation of insulin release by D-glucose is accompanied by Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) efflux from pancreatic islet cells. The efflux of these anions may involve volume-regulated anion channels, including possibly TMEM16A, and the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-)-cotransporter SLC4A4. The present study was designed to explore the expression of both TMEM16A and SLC4A4 in human pancreatic islets. METHODS Pancreases were obtained from human cadaveric donors. Immunodetection of TMEM16A and SLC4A4 was performed by immunohistochemistry on sections of fixed pancreas, while real-time PCR for the study of corresponding gene expression was performed on RNA extracted from both total pancreatic pieces and isolated pancreatic islets. RESULTS RT-PCR yielded lower levels of SLC4A4 in isolated islets than in the total pancreas, whilst a mirror image prevailed for TMEM16A mRNA. Immunohistochemistry of human pancreas, however, indicated comparable immunostaining of SLC4A4 in insulin-producing cells and exocrine pancreatic cells, whilst that of TMEM16A appeared less pronounced in insulin-producing cells than in exocrine cells. CONCLUSION The present findings support the view that, in humans like in rodent, the regulation of anion fluxes in insulin-producing cells may involve both SLC4A4 and TMEM16A.

Abstract
It was recently proposed that, in rat pancreatic islets, the production of bicarbonate accounts for the major fraction of the carbon dioxide generated by the oxidative catabolism of nutrient insulin secretagogues. In search of the mechanism(s) supporting the membrane transport of bicarbonate, the possible role of the electrogenic Na(+)-HCO(3) (-)-cotransporters NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B in rat pancreatic islet cells was investigated. Expression of NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B in rat pancreatic islet cells was documented by RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunocytochemistry. The latter procedure suggested a preferential localization of NBCe1-B in insulin-producing cells. Tenidap (3-100 microM), previously proposed as an inhibitor of NBCe1-A-mediated cotransport in proximal tubule kidney cells, caused a concentration-related inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. It also inhibited 2-ketoisocaproate-induced insulin release and to a relatively lesser extent, the secretory response to L: -leucine. Tenidap (50-100 microM) also inhibited the metabolism of D: -glucose in isolated islets, increased (22)Na net uptake by dispersed islet cells, lowered intracellular pH and provoked hyperpolarization of plasma membrane in insulin-producing cells. This study thus reveals the expression of the electrogenic Na(+)-HCO(3) (-)-cotransporters NBCe1-A and NBCe1-B in rat pancreatic islet cells, and is consistent with the participation of such transporters in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin secretion.

Abstract
Olanzapine (OLZ), one of the second-generation atypical antipsychotics (SGAs), has shown relative advantages in patient adherence and outcomes. However, OLZ has also been associated with a higher incidence of weight gain than most other SGAs. Excessive weight gain may in turn contribute to long-term health concerns for some individuals. Zonisamide (ZNS), a medication approved in the United States as an adjunct in the management of epilepsy, has a diverse pharmacological profile, including sodium channel blockade, monoamine enhancement, and inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. ZNS has also been reported to cause weight loss in both humans and rodents. We hypothesized that this profile might be beneficial when co-administered with OLZ. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the effects of OLZ on body weight, as well as the pathways known to regulate feeding behavior and arousal in the Sprague-Dawley rat. As indicated via c-Fos expression, we found an OLZ-induced activation in the nucleus accumbens and orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. An OLZ-associated development of hyperphagia, weight gain and elevated blood glucose in the rat was also found. These outcomes were attenuated and reversed in the presence of concomitant ZNS. These results suggest the hypothesis that ZNS may effectively treat or prevent weight gain or metabolic changes associated with the SGAs. Future studies of this combination in patients through appropriately designed human clinical studies are encouraged.
