Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence regarding the modifying effect of the polygenic risk score (PRS) on the associations between glycemic traits and hearing loss (HL) was lacking. We aimed to examine whether these associations can be influenced by genetic susceptibility. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 13,275 participants aged 64.9 years from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. HL was defined according to a pure tone average >25 dB in the better ear and further classified by severity. Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) were defined based on the 2013 criteria from the American Diabetes Association. A PRS was derived from 37 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with HL. Multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the associations of PRS and glycemic traits with HL and its severity. RESULTS Elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and T2D were positively associated with higher HL risks and its severity, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.04 (95% CI 1.00, 1.08) to 1.25 (95% CI 1.06, 1.46). We also found significant interaction between HbA1c and PRS on risks of overall HL and its severity (P for multiplicative interaction <0.05), and the effects of HbA1c on HL risks were significant only in the group with high PRS. Additionally, compared with normoglycemia in the group with low PRS, T2D was associated with an OR of up to 2.00 and 2.40 for overall HL and moderate to severe HL, respectively, in the group with high PRS (P for additive interaction <0.05). CONCLUSIONS PRS modifies the association of HbA1c with HL prevalence among middle-aged and older Chinese individuals.

Abstract
Objective Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) is a representative human sensory impairment, few studies have paid attention to the correlation between the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index and SNHL to date. We conducted this analysis to elucidate the correlation between the TyG index and pure tone hearing thresholds among US adults. Methods Our analysis included 1226 adults (age range: 20 to 69 years old) from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. TyG index was scored into three quartiles. Weighted univariate analysis, weighted multivariate linear regression analyses as well as smooth curve fittings evaluated the associations between TyG index and pure tone hearing thresholds. Results In the multiple regression analysis, the second tertile of TyG index was negatively associated with high-frequency hearing thresholds shifts. Furthermore, the non-linear relationships between TyG index and speech-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds were identified by smooth curve fittings. After adjusting for potential confounders, the fitted smooth curves were approximately U-shaped, and the two-segment linear regression models were constructed to calculate their inflection points. Conclusion Our findings suggested that the TyG index was nearly U-shaped association with speech-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds. These results may imply the importance of maintaining a balanced TyG index in health management.

J Anim Sci 2024; 102:skae107. [PMID: 38619320 PMCID: PMC11069187 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skae107] [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: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) stimulation on inflammatory injury and the expression of the glucose transporters sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) and glucose transporter protein 2 (GLU2) in porcine small intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). Additionally, the study aimed to provide initial insights into the connection between the expression of glucose transporters and the inflammatory injury of IPEC-J2 cells. DON concentration and DON treatment time were determined using the CCK‑8 assay. Accordingly, 1.0 µg/mL DON and treatment for 24 h were chosen for subsequent experiments. Then IPEC-J2 cells were treated without DON (CON, N = 6) or with 1 μg/mL DON (DON, N = 6). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) content, apoptosis rate, and proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β, Il-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were measured. Additionally, the expression of AMP-activated protein kinase α1 (AMPK-α1), the content of glucose, intestinal alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and sodium/potassium-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) activity, and the expression of SGLT1 and GLU2 of IPEC-J2 cells were also analyzed. The results showed that DON exposure significantly increased LDH release and apoptosis rate of IPEC-J2 cells. Stimulation with DON resulted in significant cellular inflammatory damage, as evidenced by a significant increase in proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). Additionally, DON caused damage to the glucose absorption capacity of IPEC-J2 cells, indicated by decreased levels of glucose content, AKP activity, Na+/K+-ATPase activity, AMPK-α1 protein expression, and SGLT1 expression. Correlation analysis revealed that glucose absorption capacity was negatively correlated with cell inflammatory cytokines. Based on the findings of this study, it can be preliminarily concluded that the cell inflammatory damage caused by DON may be associated with decreased glucose absorption.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and hearing loss (HL) using data from a tertiary hospital. Our hypothesis regarding the relationship between HL and HbA1c levels was that elevated HbA1c levels are associated with an increased risk of HL. We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients diagnosed with sensorineural HL or diabetes between 2006 and 2021 at the Catholic Medical Center (CMC). Data were collected from the CMC's Clinical Data Warehouse. Participants were selected from patients who were prescribed pure-tone audiometry and an HbA1c blood test. The survey was completed for 5287 participants. The better ear pure-tone audiometry (PTA) for air conduction thresholds at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz was calculated. Sensorineural HL was defined as a better ear PTA of 25 dB or higher. We used the HbA1c level as a diagnostic criterion for diabetes. The following criteria were used to define the HbA1c level: normal, HbA1c level below 5.6%; prediabetes, level between 5.6 and 6.4%; and diabetes, level of 6.5% or more. Among 5287 participants, 1129 were categorized as normal, 2119 as prediabetic, and 2039 as diabetic. The diabetic group was significantly older (p < 0.05). The PTA also significantly deteriorated in the diabetes group (p < 0.05). We analyzed the effects of age, sex, and HbA1c level on frequency-specific hearing using multiple regression. The hearing thresholds at all frequencies deteriorated significantly with increasing age and HbA1c level (p < 0.05). A case-control study was also performed to facilitate a comprehensive comparison between distinct groups. The participants were categorized into two groups: a case (PTA > 25 dB) and control group (PTA ≤ 25 dB), based on their PTA threshold of four frequencies. After adjusting for age and sex, we found no significant odds ratio (OR) of HL between the prediabetes group and the normal group. Notably, the OR of HL was significantly higher in the diabetes group with each PTA threshold and frequency. The 6.3% HbA1c level cutoff value was determined by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting hearing impairment > 25 dB. Diabetes was associated with hearing loss in all frequency ranges, particularly at high frequencies. Screening for HL is strongly recommended for patients with elevated HbA1c levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many previous studies have reported the association between iron overload (IO) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the underlying molecular mechanism is not clear. METHODS Epidemiological data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018 (NHANES) was used to systematically explore the association between IO and diabetes. Furthermore, transcriptome data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analyzed using bioinformatics methods to explore the underlying functional mechanisms at the molecular level. RESULTS Data from NHANES showed a "W" shape relationship between serum iron (frozen) and the risk of diabetes (P < 0.001) as well as a "∧" shape correlation between serum unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) and the risk of diabetes (P = 0.007). Furthermore, the serum iron (frozen) was positively associated with fasting plasma glucose and HOMAB (P < 0.05), and UIBC was positively associated with fasting insulin (P < 0.05). Transcriptome data showed that two IO-related genes [Transferrin receptor (TFRC) and Solute carrier family-11 member-2 (SLC11A2)] were down-regulated in T2DM. The correlation analysis showed that expression levels of TFRC and SLC11A2 were significantly and positively correlated with genes involved in insulin secretion (P < 0.05). Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed that TFRC and SLC11A2 interacted with four key genes, including VAMP2, HIF1A, SLC2A1, and RAB11FIP2. CONCLUSION We found that IO status was associated with increased FPG and aggravated HOMAB, and two IO-related genes (TFRC and SLC11A2) might induce the occurrence of T2DM by influencing insulin secretion, which provides potential therapeutic targets for T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with inner ear dysfunction. Furthermore, C57BL/6J mice fed high fat diet (HFD), a model for insulin resistance and diabetes, develop endolymphatic hydrops (EH). AIM Evaluate if betahistine, spironolactone (aldosterone antagonist) and empagliflozin (sodium -glucose cotransporter2 inhibitor) can prevent EH induced by HFD and explore potential mechanisms. METHODS C57BL/6J mice fed HFD were treated with respective drug. The size of the endolymphatic fluid compartment was measured using contrast enhanced MRI. Secondarily, mice treated with cilostamide, a phosphodiesterase3 inhibitor, to induce EH and HEI-OC1 auditory cells were used to study potential cellular mechanisms of betahistine. RESULTS HFD-induced EH was prevented by betahistine but not by spironolactone and empagliflozin. Betahistine induced phosphorylation of protein kinaseA substrates but did not prevent cilostamide-induced EH. CONCLUSIONS Betahistine prevents the development of EH in mice fed HFD, most likely not involving pathways downstream of phosphodiesterase3, an enzyme with implications for dysfunction in diabetes. The finding that spironolactone did not prevent HFD-induced EH suggests different mechanisms for EH induction/treatment since spironolactone prevents EH induced by vasopressin, as previously observed. SIGNIFICANCE This further demonstrates that independent mechanisms can cause hydropic inner ear diseases which suggests different therapeutic approaches and emphazises the need for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Discussion is open about the relationship between diabetes (DM) and hearing loss (HL). There is a lot of evidence in the literature suggesting a causal link between these conditions, beyond being considered simple comorbidities. The difficulty in identifying populations free from confounding factors makes it difficult to reach definitive conclusions on the pathophysiological mechanisms at play. Nonetheless, there is numerous evidence that demonstrates how the population affected by DM is more affected by sensorineural HL (SNHL) and exhibit a higher prevalence of idiopathic sudden sensorineural HL (ISSNHL). Materials and Methods: Articles reporting potentially relevant information were reviewed, and the most significant results are discussed in this article. Starting from the possible mechanisms relating to auditory impairment in the diabetic condition, this article summarizes the studies on auditory evaluation in subjects with DM1 and DM2 and addresses the relationship between DM and ISSNHL. Results: DM is considered a risk factor for SNHL, although some studies have reported no relationship when the associations were adjusted for age, gender, and hypertension. Macro and microvascular insults that cause decreased blood flow, oxygen exchange, and ion transport are major complications of hypertension and DM and can have a direct effect on the sensory and support cells of the cochlea. Conclusions: Given the difficulty of carrying out studies on populations without confounding factors, new laboratory studies are strongly required to clarify which specific physiopathological mechanisms underlie the diabetic damage caused to the hearing organs and how pharmacological management may contribute to counteracting the pathophysiological effects of the diabetic condition on the auditory system.

Intrauterine Growth Retardation Affects Intestinal Health of Suckling Piglets via Altering Intestinal Antioxidant Capacity, Glucose Uptake, Tight Junction, and Immune Responses. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2644205.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) on the intestinal morphology, intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis, intestinal antioxidant capacity, intestinal glucose absorption capacity, and intestinal barrier function of piglets during the suckling period. A total of eight normal-birth-weight (NBW) piglets and eight IUGR newborn piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) were selected from eight litters, one NBW and one IUGR newborn piglet per litter. In each litter, piglets with birth weight of 1.54 ± 0.04 kg (within one SD of the mean birth weight) were selected as NBW piglets and piglets with birth weight of 0.82 ± 0.03 kg (two SD below the mean birth weight) were selected as IUGR piglets. At 21 days of age, all piglets were killed by exsanguinations for sampling. The results showed the body weight (BW) of IUGR piglets on day 0, day 7, day 14, and day 21, and the body weight gain (BWG) of IUGR piglets was significantly lower than that of NBW piglets. IUGR piglets exhibited impaired intestinal morphology, raised enterocyte apoptosis, and increased oxidative damage. It showed that IUGR leads to a lower antioxidant capacity and glucose absorption in the jejunum. In accordance, IUGR caused the intestinal barrier dysfunction by impairing tight junctions and increasing intestinal inflammatory injury. Collectively, these results add to our understanding that IUGR affects intestinal health of suckling piglets via altering intestinal antioxidant capacity, glucose uptake, tight junction, and immune responses, and the slow growth of piglets with IUGR may be associated with intestinal injury.

Abstract
Diabetes (type 2) and sensorineural hearing loss are common health problems manifested with ageing. While both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been associated with hearing loss, a causal link has been difficult to establish. Individuals with diabetes have twice the incidence of hearing loss compared to those without diabetes and those with prediabetes have a 30% higher rate of hearing loss. Whether hearing loss is associated with diabetes independent of glycemic control remains to be determined. Hearing loss has its own set of risk factors and shares others with diabetes. This review will summarize the complex relationship between diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a peptide hormone belonging to the insulin family of proteins. Almost all of the biological effects of IGF-1 are mediated through binding to its high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptor (IGF1R), a transmembrane receptor belonging to the insulin receptor family. Factors, receptors and IGF-binding proteins form the IGF system, which has multiple roles in mammalian development, adult tissue homeostasis, and aging. Consequently, mutations in genes of the IGF system, including downstream intracellular targets, underlie multiple common pathologies and are associated with multiple rare human diseases. Here we review the contribution of the IGF system to our understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of human hearing loss by describing, (i) the expression patterns of the IGF system in the mammalian inner ear; (ii) downstream signaling of IGF-1 in the hearing organ; (iii) mouse mutations in the IGF system, including upstream regulators and downstream targets of IGF-1 that inform cochlear pathophysiology; and (iv) human mutations in these genes causing hearing loss.

Abstract
Hearing impairment is one of the complications in diabetes mellitus; however, there are very few therapeutic studies on it. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on hearing loss in diabetic transgenic zebrafish and confirmed that ALA protects the loss of hair cells (HCs) caused by hyperglycemia. The data indicated that ALA has a protective effect on the damage to HCs in diabetic zebrafish.

Inner ear is a target for insulin signaling and insulin resistance: evidence from mice and auditory HEI-OC1 cells. BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 2020; 8:8/1/e000820. [PMID: 32238362 PMCID: PMC7170413 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2019-000820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2019] [Revised: 02/14/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms underlying the association between diabetes and inner ear dysfunction are not known yet. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of obesity/insulin resistance on inner ear fluid homeostasis in vivo, and to investigate whether the organ of Corti could be a target tissue for insulin signaling using auditory House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells as an in vitro model. METHODS High fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J mice were used as a model to study the impact of insulin resistance on the inner ear. In one study, 12 C57BL/6J mice were fed either control diet or HFD and the size of the inner ear endolymphatic fluid compartment (EFC) was measured after 30 days using MRI and gadolinium contrast as a read-out. In another study, the size of the inner ear EFC was evaluated in eight C57BL/6J mice both before and after HFD feeding, with the same techniques. HEI-OC1 auditory cells were used as a model to investigate insulin signaling in organ of Corti cells. RESULTS HFD feeding induced an expansion of the EFC in C57BL/6J mice, a hallmark of inner ear dysfunction. Insulin also induced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) at Ser473, in a PI3-kinase-dependent manner. The phosphorylation of PKB was inhibited by isoproterenol and IBMX, a general phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. PDE1B, PDE4D and the insulin-sensitive PDE3B were found expressed and catalytically active in HEI-OC1 cells. Insulin decreased and AICAR, an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase, increased the phosphorylation at the inhibitory Ser79 of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. Furthermore, the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase, the rate-limiting enzyme in lipolysis, was detected in HEI-OC1 cells. CONCLUSIONS The organ of Corti could be a target tissue for insulin action, and inner ear insulin resistance might contribute to the association between diabetes and inner ear dysfunction.
