Chen W, Xiong B, Liao Z, Xiao M, Chen W. Association between dietary inflammatory index and low muscle mass in diabetes/prediabetes patients. Exp Gerontol 2023; 179:112258. [PMID: 37460025 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2023.112258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence has increasingly validated that individuals with diabetes/prediabetes have a higher prevalence of low skeletal muscle mass and function compared to healthy individuals. The anti-inflammatory diet is considered a promising and modifiable approach to optimize skeletal muscle quality. However, current evidence on the relation of dietary inflammatory potential with low muscle mass among diabetic/prediabetic patients is limited. METHODS Dietary consumption was determined by trained staff using the 24-hour diet recall method, and the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was scored based on a previously validated approach that included 26 food parameters. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess the mass of skeletal muscle and low muscle mass was defined based on the sarcopenia index. Logistic regression was conducted to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was also performed to visually represent the relationship between DII and low muscle mass. Furthermore, sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted. RESULTS In this study, a total of 4269 eligible participants were registered, comprising 1975 (46.26 %) females and 2294 (53.74 %) males. The mean age was 49.98 ± 0.31 years old, and the mean DII score was 1.53 ± 0.04. Among them, 934 (21.88 %) patients were defined as having low muscle mass, while 3335 (78.12 %) were without low muscle mass. The highest tertile (T3) of DII had an 61 % increased risk of low muscle mass (OR = 1.61, 95%CI: 1.19-2.17, p for trend = 0.004) compared to the lowest tertile. The RCS curve displayed a linear dose-response relationship between DII score and low muscle mass risk in patients with diabetes/prediabetes. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses provided robustness to our results. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that a higher DII score was associated with an increased risk of low muscle mass among diabetes/prediabetes patients. These findings provided a nutritional strategy for diabetes/prediabetes patients to prevent skeletal muscle mass loss.

Abstract
Mitochondria are considered central regulator of the aging process; however, majority of studies dealing with the impact of age on mitochondrial oxygen consumption focused on skeletal muscle concluding (although not uniformly) a general declining trend with advancing age. In addition, gender related differences in mitochondrial respiration have not been satisfactorily described yet. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mitochondrial oxygen consumption in various organs of aging male and female Fischer 344 rats at the ages of 6, 12 and 24 months. Mitochondrial respiration of homogenized (skeletal muscle, left and right heart ventricle, hippocampus, cerebellum, kidney cortex), gently mechanically permeabilized (liver) tissue or intact cells (platelets) was determined using high-resolution respirometry (oxygraphs O2k, Oroboros, Austria). The pattern of age-related changes differed in each tissue: in the skeletal muscle and kidney cortex of both sexes and in female heart, parameters of mitochondrial respiration significantly declined with age. Resting respiration of intact platelets displayed an increasing trend and it did not correlate with skeletal muscle respiratory states. In the heart of male rats and brain tissues of both sexes, respiratory states remained relatively stable over analyzed age categories with few exceptions of lower mitochondrial oxygen consumption at the age of 24 months. In the liver, OXPHOS capacity was higher in females than in males with either no difference between the ages of 6 and 24 months or even significant increase at the age of 24 months in the male rats. In conclusion, the results of our study indicate that the concept of general pattern of age-dependent decline in mitochondrial oxygen consumption across different organs and tissues could be misleading. Also, the statement of higher mitochondrial respiration in females seems to be conflicting, since the gender-related differences may vary with the tissue studied, combination of substrates used and might be better detectable at younger ages than in old animals.

Abstract
Background Iron deficiency or overload may contribute to complications associated with diseases, but the link between iron status and skeletal muscle disorder is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum iron status, reflected by serum ferritin concentration, and muscle mass in U.S. adults. Methods We utilized data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2018 for analysis. Data on serum ferritin, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), body mass index (BMI) and confounding factors were extracted and analyzed. Multivariate linear regression analyses and smooth curve fittings were employed to investigate the association between serum ferritin and muscle mass. Subgroup analysis based on iron status, age, gender and race were performed. Results A total of 2,078 participants were included, and divided into iron deficiency (n = 225), normal iron status (n = 1,366), and iron overload (n = 487) groups. Participants with iron overload had significantly lower ASM and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) (ASM: 19.329 ± 4.879, ASMI: 0.709 ± 0.138) compared to those with iron deficiency (ASM: 22.660 ± 6.789, ASMI: 0.803 ± 0.206) and normal iron status (ASM: 22.235 ± 6.167, ASMI: 0.807 ± 0.201). The serum ferritin was negatively linked with muscle mass after adjusting for potential confounders (β = −0.0001, 95% CI: −0.0001, −0.0000). When stratified by iron status, the trend test between them remained significant (P for trend: 0.008). Furthermore, subgroup analysis identified a stronger association in men (β = −0.0001, 95% CI: −0.0002, −0.0001), age ≥ 40 years (β = −0.0001, 95% CI: −0.0002, −0.0000), non-Hispanic black (β = −0.0002, 95% CI: −0.0003, −0.0001) and other races (β = −0.0002, 95% CI: −0.0003, −0.0000). Conclusions Our study revealed an inverse relationship between serum iron status and muscle mass in adults. This finding improves our understanding of the impact of serum iron status on muscle mass, and sheds new light on the prevention and treatment of muscle loss.

Age-Related Mitochondrial Impairment and Renal Injury Is Ameliorated by Sulforaphane via Activation of Transcription Factor NRF2. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11010156.

Abstract
Age is one of the major risk factors for the development of chronic pathologies, including kidney diseases. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction play a pathogenic role in aging kidney disease. Transcription factor NRF2, a master regulator of redox homeostasis, is altered during aging, but the exact implications of altered NRF2 signaling on age-related renal mitochondrial impairment are not yet clear. Herein, we investigated the role of sulforaphane, a well-known NRF2 activator, on age-related mitochondrial and kidney dysfunction. Young (2–4 month) and aged (20–24 month) male Fischer 344 rats were treated with sulforaphane (15 mg/kg body wt/day) in drinking water for four weeks. We observed significant impairment in renal cortical mitochondrial function along with perturbed redox homeostasis, decreased kidney function and marked impairment in NRF2 signaling in aged Fischer 344 rats. Sulforaphane significantly improved mitochondrial function and ameliorated kidney injury by increasing cortical NRF2 expression and activity and decreasing protein expression of KEAP1, an NRF2 repressor. Sulforaphane treatment did not affect the renal NRF2 expression or activity and mitochondrial function in young rats. Taken together, our results provide novel insights into the protective role of the NRF2 pathway in kidneys during aging and highlight the therapeutic potential of sulforaphane in mitigating kidney dysfunction in elders.

Abstract
Renal proximal tubular apoptosis plays a critical role in kidney health and disease. However, cellular molecules that trigger renal apoptosis remain elusive. Here, we evaluated the effect of inhibiting protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a critical thioredoxin chaperone protein, on apoptosis as well as the underlying mechanisms in human renal proximal tubular (HK2) cells. HK2 cells were transfected with PDI-specific siRNA in the absence and presence of an antioxidant, tempol. PDI siRNA transfection resulted in a decrease of ~70% in PDI protein expression and enzyme activity. PDI inhibition increased caspase-3 activity and induced profound cell apoptosis. Mitochondrial function, as assessed by mitochondrial cytochrome c levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, oxygen consumption, and ATP levels, was significantly reduced in PDI-inhibited cells. Also, PDI inhibition caused nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2; a redox-sensitive transcription factor) cytoplasmic sequestration, decreased superoxide dismutase and glutathione-S-transferase activities, and increased oxidative stress. In PDI-inhibited cells, tempol reduced apoptosis, caspase-3 activity, and oxidative stress and also restored Nrf2 nuclear translocation and mitochondrial function. Silencing Nrf2 in the cells abrogated the beneficial effect of tempol, whereas Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (an Nrf2 regulatory protein) silencing protected cells from PDI inhibitory effects. Collectively, our data indicate that PDI inhibition diminishes Nrf2 nuclear translocation, causing oxidative stress that further triggers mitochondrial dysfunction and renal cell apoptosis. This study suggests an important role for PDI in renal cell apoptosis involving Nrf2 and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress and high salt intake could be independent or intertwined risk factors in the origin of hypertension. Kidneys are the major organ to regulate sodium homeostasis and blood pressure and the renal dopamine system plays a pivotal role in sodium regulation during sodium replete conditions. Oxidative stress has been implicated in renal dopamine dysfunction and development of hypertension, especially in salt‐sensitive animal models. Here we show the nexus between high salt intake and oxidative stress causing renal tubular dopamine oxidation, which leads to mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction and subsequently causes renal inflammation and hypertension. Methods and Results Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into the following groups, vehicle (V)—tap water, high salt (HS)—1% NaCl, L‐buthionine‐sulfoximine (BSO), a prooxidant, and HS plus BSO without and with antioxidant resveratrol (R) for 6 weeks. Oxidative stress was significantly higher in BSO and HS+BSO–treated rat compared with vehicle; however, blood pressure was markedly higher in the HS+BSO group whereas an increase in blood pressure in the BSO group was modest. HS+BSO–treated rats had significant renal dopamine oxidation, lysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased renal inflammation; however, HS alone had no impact on organelle function or inflammation. Resveratrol prevented oxidative stress, dopamine oxidation, organelle dysfunction, inflammation, and hypertension in BSO and HS+BSO rats. Conclusions These data suggest that dopamine oxidation, especially during increased sodium intake and oxidative milieu, leads to lysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunction and renal inflammation with subsequent increase in blood pressure. Resveratrol, while preventing oxidative stress, protects renal function and mitigates hypertension.

Abstract
Aging is a general degenerative process related to deterioration of cell functions in the entire organism. Mitochondria, which play a key role in energy homeostasis and metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS), require lifetime control and constant renewal. This explains recently peaked interest in the processes of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy. The principal event of mitochondrial metabolism is regulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcription and translation, which is a complex coordinated process that involves at least two systems of transcription factors. It is commonly believed that its major regulatory proteins are PGC-1α and PGC-1β, which act as key factors connecting several regulator cascades involved in the control of mitochondrial metabolism. In recent years, the number of publications on the essential role of Nrf2/ARE signaling in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis has grown exponentially. Nrf2 is induced by various xenobiotics and oxidants that oxidize some Nrf2 negative regulators. Thus, ROS, in particular H2O2, were found to be strong Nrf2 activators. At present, there are two major concepts of mitochondrial biogenesis. Some authors suggest direct involvement of Nrf2 in the regulation of this process. Others believe that Nrf2 regulates expression of the antioxidant genes, while the major and only regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis is PGC-1α. Several studies have demonstrated the existence of the regulatory loop involving both PGC-1α and Nrf2. In this review, we summarized recent data on the Nrf2 role in mitochondrial biogenesis and its interaction with PGC-1α in the context of extending longevity.

Abstract
The anti-aging strategy is one of the main challenges of the modern biomedical science. The term "aging" covers organisms, cells, cellular organelles and their constituents. In general term, aging system admits the existence of nonfunctional structures which by some reasons have not been removed by a clearing system, e.g., through autophagy/mitophagy marking and destroying unwanted cells or mitochondria. This directly relates to the old kidney which normal functioning is critical for the viability of the organism. One of the main problems in biomedical studies is that in their majority, young organisms serve as a standard with further extrapolation on the aged system. However, some protective systems, which demonstrate their efficiency in young systems, lose their beneficial effect in aged organisms. It is true for ischemic preconditioning of the kidney, which is almost useless for an old kidney. The pharmacological intervention could correct the defects of the senile system provided that the complete understanding of all elements involved in aging will be achieved. We discuss critical elements which determine the difference between young and old phenotypes and give directions to prevent or cure lesions occurring in aged organs including kidney. ABBREVIATIONS AKI: acute kidney injury; I/R: ischemia/reperfusion; CR: caloric restriction; ROS: reactive oxygen species; RC: respiratory chain.

Abstract
Individuals living with metabolic syndrome (MetS) such as diabetes and obesity are at high risk for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigated the beneficial effect of whole grape powder (WGP) diet on MetS-associated CKD. Obese diabetic ZSF1 rats, a kidney disease model with MetS, were fed WGP (5%, w/w) diet for six months. Kidney disease was determined using blood and urine chemical analyses, and histology. When compared to Vehicle controls, WGP intake did not change the rat bodyweight, but lowered their kidney, liver and spleen weight, which were in parallel with the lower serum glucose and the higher albumin or albumin/globin ratio. More importantly, WGP intake improved the renal function as urination and proteinuria decreased, or it prevented kidney tissue damage in these diabetic rats. The renal protection of WGP diet was associated with up-regulation of antioxidants (Dhcr24, Gstk1, Prdx2, Sod2, Gpx1 and Gpx4) and downregulation of Txnip (for ROS production) in the kidneys. Furthermore, addition of grape extract reduced H2O2-induced cell death of cultured podocytes. In conclusion, daily intake of WGP reduces the progression of kidney disease in obese diabetic rats, suggesting a protective function of antioxidant-rich grape diet against CKD in the setting of MetS.
