Abstract
Hypertension and diabetes are two common metabolic disorders that often coexist in the same individual. Their concurrence increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, renal dysfunction, and other complications. Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with diabetes, and hypertension further aggravates this condition. Interestingly, hypertension and diabetes share several common pathophysiological mechanisms including insulin resistance, vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, obesity, and oxidative stress suggesting a cross-talk between these two conditions that could potentially contribute to the development of other human diseases. Effective management of diabetes should include a multifaceted approach that addresses not only glycemic control but also blood pressure (BP) and lipid control. Treatment plans should be individualized to each patient's needs and should involve a combination of lifestyle modifications and medications to achieve optimal control. With the availability of newer antidiabetic medications such as SGLT inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists, it is crucial to consider their potential to reduce BP, enhance kidney function, and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases when initiating treatment for glycemic control. A more profound comprehension of the shared underlying mechanisms between these conditions could pave the way for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches to tackle them. Our review offers an in-depth analysis of the literature, providing a holistic view of the mechanisms underlying diabetes-hypertension comorbidity and its implications on heart and kidney diseases. The present article concludes by discussing current approaches for managing hypertensive diabetic patients to create a set of comprehensive individualized recommendations.

Renal tubule-specific Atgl deletion links kidney lipid metabolism to glucagon-like peptide 1 and insulin secretion independent of renal inflammation or lipotoxicity. Mol Metab 2024; 81:101887.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipotoxic injury from renal lipid accumulation in obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is implicated in associated kidney damage. However, models examining effects of renal ectopic lipid accumulation independent of obesity or T2D are lacking. We generated renal tubule-specific adipose triglyceride lipase knockout (RT-SAKO) mice to determine if this targeted triacylglycerol (TAG) over-storage affects glycemic control and kidney health. METHODS Male and female RT-SAKO mice and their control littermates were tested for changes in glycemic control at 10-12 and 16-18 weeks of age. Markers of kidney health and blood lipid and hormone concentrations were analyzed. Kidney and blood lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) levels were measured, and a role for LPA in mediating impaired glycemic control was evaluated using the LPA receptor 1/3 inhibitor Ki-16425. RESULTS All groups remained insulin sensitive, but 16- to 18-week-old male RT-SAKO mice became glucose intolerant, without developing kidney inflammation or fibrosis. Rather, these mice displayed lower circulating insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels. Impaired first-phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was detected and restored by Exendin-4. Kidney and blood LPA levels were elevated in older male but not female RT-SAKO mice, associated with increased kidney diacylglycerol kinase epsilon. Inhibition of LPA-mediated signaling restored serum GLP-1 levels, first-phase insulin secretion, and glucose tolerance. CONCLUSIONS TAG over-storage alone is insufficient to cause renal tubule lipotoxicity. This work is the first to show that endogenously derived LPA modulates GLP-1 levels in vivo, demonstrating a new mechanism of kidney-gut-pancreas crosstalk to regulate insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis.

Obesity, Hyperfiltration, and Early Kidney Damage: A New Formula for the Estimation of Creatinine Clearance. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:3280-3286. [PMID: 37296533 PMCID: PMC10655541 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Glomerular hyperfiltration may represent a direct pathogenetic link between obesity and kidney disease. The most widely used methods to estimate creatine clearance such as Cockroft-Gault (CG), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) have not been validated in subjects with obesity. OBJECTIVE The performance of prediction formulas was compared with measured creatinine clearance (mCrCl) in subjects with obesity. METHODS The study population included 342 patients with obesity (mean BMI 47.6 kg/m2) without primary kidney disease. A urine collection was performed over 24 hours for measurement of CrCl. RESULTS mCrCl increased with body weight. The CG formula showed an overestimation at high CrCl, whereas an underestimation resulted from CKD-EPI and MDRD. To improve the accuracy of estimated CrCl (eCrCl), a new CG-based formula was developed:53+0.7×(140-Age)×Weight/(96xSCr)×(0.85iffemale)A cut-off point for BMI of 32 kg/m2 was identified, at which the new formula may be applied to improve eCrCl. CONCLUSION In patients with obesity the glomerular filtration rate increases with body weight, and it is associated with the presence of albuminuria, suggesting an early kidney injury. We propose a novel formula that improves the accuracy of eCrCl to avoid missed diagnoses of hyperfiltration in patients with obesity.

Lee J, Kim MH, Jang JY, Oh CM. Assessment HOMA as a predictor for new onset diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications in non-diabetic adults: a KoGES prospective cohort study. Clin Diabetes Endocrinol 2023; 9:7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a biomarker for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the role of HOMA-IR in the non-diabetic is unclear. This study aimed to determine whether IR measured HOMA-IR value is associated with new onset diabetes as well as vascular disease and can be used as an early predictor for diabetes and vascular diseases in non-diabetic participants. METHODS From a prospective community-based cohort of 10,030 individuals, 4314 individuals younger than 65 years and without diabetes were enrolled and divided into three groups by baseline HOMA-IR tertiles: low (n = 1454), moderate (n = 1414), and high (n = 1446). The primary outcome was new onset T2DM. Secondary outcomes were chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a composite of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke as macrovascular events. RESULTS The mean age was 51 years. The prevalence of hypertension and cholesterol and HbA1c were higher in the high HOMA-IR group. New onset T2DM (5.8%) and CKD (12.2%) incidence in the high HOMA-IR group was higher than that in the others. The prevalence of macrovascular events did not differ among groups. High-HOMA-IR was an independent risk factor for new onset T2DM (odds ratio 1.86 [1.17-2.96]; p = 0.01) and CKD (1.49 [1.12-1.98]; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS High HOMA-IR was an early predictor of new onset T2DM and CKD, regardless of HbA1c in non-diabetic individuals. Further research on the specific cut off value will be needed.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) and insulin resistance (IR) in kidney cells are considered main causes for end-stage renal failure. However, it is unclear how IR affects early stages of the disease. Here, we investigate the impact of mild (11 mM) and severe (22 mM) hyperglycemia, with and without induced IR, on cellular metabolism and mitochondrial bioenergetics in a human kidney cell line (HK-2). IR in HK-2 cells was induced with palmitic acid and cellular cytotoxicity was studied. We evaluated the impact of mild and severe hyperglycemia with and without IR on the metabolic secretome of the cells, their live-cell mitochondria function, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial complex activities. Furthermore, we measured fatty acid oxidation and lipid accumulation. Cells cultured under mild hyperglycemic conditions exhibited increased mitochondrial bioenergetic parameters, such as basal respiration, ATP-linked production, maximal respiration capacity, and spare respiration capacity. However, these parameters decreased when cells were cultured under higher glucose concentrations when IR was induced. Our data suggests that progression from mild to severe hyperglycemia induces a metabolic shift, where gluconeogenic amino acids play a crucial role in supplying the energy requirements of HK-2. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the progression from mild to severe hyperglycemia allied to IR in human kidney cells. This work highlights that this progression leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and alters the metabolic profile of kidney cells. These results identify possible targets for early intervention in DN.

Abstract
Insulin regulates energy metabolism involving multiple organ systems. Insulin resistance (IR) occurs when organs exhibit reduced insulin sensitivity, leading to difficulties in maintaining glucose homeostasis. IR ensures decades prior to development of overt diabetes and can cause silent metabolic derangements. IR is typically seen very early in the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is evident even when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is within the normal range and IR persists at various stages of kidney disease. In this article, we will discuss insulin handling by the kidneys, mechanisms responsible for IR in CKD, measurements and management of IR in patients with CKD, and recent type 2 diabetic trials with implications for improved cardiovascular outcomes in CKD. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammation is a risk factor for diabetes in the general population. The role of inflammation in prediabetes or post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is not clear. We evaluated the association between inflammatory markers in patients on the waiting list for renal transplantation and the onset of prediabetes and PTDM 12 months after transplantation. METHODS This is a post hoc analysis of a prospective study that included nondiabetic patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation who underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and were followed up to 12 months after transplantation. At this time, those patients without PTDM underwent another OGTT. At pre-transplantation, five cytokines: TNFα, IL6, IL1β, CRP, MCP1 were determined. The association between inflammation and prediabetes/PTDM was evaluated using multiple regression models. RESULTS 110 patients on the waiting list were enrolled: 74 had normal glucose metabolism and 36 had prediabetes or occult diabetes. At 12 months, 53 patients had normal glucose metabolism, 25 prediabetes, and 32 PTDM. In multiple regression analysis, pre-transplant inflammation was not a risk factor for prediabetes or PTDM. This was attributed to the high interrelation between obesity, prediabetes, and inflammation: about 75% of the cases had these conditions. In a sub-analysis, we analyzed only patients without prediabetes and occult diabetes on the waiting list and found that TNFα levels and BMI at pre-transplantation were independently associated with the onset of prediabetes or PTDM 1 year after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Pre-transplant inflammation and BMI are risk factors for prediabetes and PTDM in patients without glucose metabolism alterations.

Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase is required for water excretion in response to acute hypotonic stress. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2023; 324:F521-F531.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to understand the response of mice lacking insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) to an acute water load. For mammals to respond appropriately to acute water loading, vasopressin activity needs to decrease. IRAP degrades vasopressin in vivo. Therefore, we hypothesized that mice lacking IRAP have an impaired ability to degrade vasopressin and, thus, have persistent urinary concentration. Age-matched 8- to 12-wk-old IRAP wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) male mice were used for all experiments. Blood electrolytes and urine osmolality were measured before and 1 h after water load (∼2 mL sterile water via intraperitoneal injection). Urine was collected from IRAP WT and KO mice for urine osmolality measurements at baseline and after 1 h administration of the vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist OPC-31260 (10 mg/kg ip). Immunofluorescence and immunoblot analysis were performed on kidneys at baseline and after 1 h acute water load. IRAP was expressed in the glomerulus, thick ascending loop of Henle, distal tubule, connecting duct, and collecting duct. IRAP KO mice had elevated urine osmolality compared with WT mice due to higher membrane expression of aquaporin 2 (AQP2), which was restored to that of controls after administration of OPC-31260. IRAP KO mice developed hyponatremia after an acute water load because they were unable to increase free water excretion due to increased surface expression of AQP2. In conclusion, IRAP is required to increase water excretion in response to an acute water load due to persistent vasopressin stimulation of AQP2.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) degrades vasopressin, but its role in urinary concentration and dilution is unknown. Here, we show that IRAP-deficient mice have a high urinary osmolality at baseline and are unable to excrete free water in response to water loading. These results reveal a novel regulatory role for IRAP in urine concentration and dilution.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an immunoinflammatory pathological procedure in which lipid plaques are formed in the vessel walls, partially or completely occluding the lumen, and is accountable for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ACSVD consists of three components: coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular disease (PAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD). A disturbed lipid metabolism and the subsequent dyslipidemia significantly contribute to the formation of plaques, with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) being the main responsible factor. Nonetheless, even when LDL-C is well regulated, mainly with statin therapy, a residual risk for CVD still occurs, and it is attributable to the disturbances of other lipid components, namely triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Increased plasma TG and decreased HDL-C levels have been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and CVD, and their ratio, TG/HDL-C, has been proposed as a novel biomarker for predicting the risk of both clinical entities. Under these terms, this review will present and discuss the current scientific and clinical data linking the TG/HDL-C ratio with the presence of MetS and CVD, including CAD, PAD and CCVD, in an effort to prove the value of the TG/HDL-C ratio as a valuable predictor for each aspect of CVD.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the relationships between modifiable and non-modifiable factors that influence sleep quality in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease in China. This study design was cross-sectional and descriptive. This study involved a convenience sample of 242 patients hospitalized for cardiovascular issues. Hierarchical regression model and qualitative comparative analysis model were performed. Regression revealed that age and depression both had statistically significant effects on sleep quality. The combination of conditions with strongest predictive effect on sleep quality was male of younger age, high level of depression, high level of anxiety, and low level of social support. Other combinations with predictive power on sleep quality are as follows: (1) younger male patients (aged 47-63 years) with high level of anxiety, high level of social support, and low level of depression; (2) older male patients (aged 63-79 years) with high level of depression, high level of social support, and low levels of anxiety; and (3) older male patients with high level of anxiety and low level of social support. Nurses may promote primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular health prior to hospitalization, through routine screening for depressive and anxious symptoms and assessment of the patient's social support network. It is unknown whether these findings are unique to hospitalized patients. Therefore, future work should assess the fit of the model to other more diverse groups of hospitalized patients.

Impact of magnesium sulfate therapy in improvement of renal functions in high fat diet-induced diabetic rats and their offspring. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2273. [PMID: 36755074 PMCID: PMC9908981 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29540-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The role of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) administration to prevent diabetic nephropathy (DN) by reducing insulin resistance (IR) and the relationship of this action with gender and the expression of NOX4 and ICAM1 genes in the parents and their offspring were studied. Males and females rat, and their pups were used. Type 2 diabetes induced by high-fat diet (HFD) administration and a low dose of streptozotocin. Animals were divided into the: non-treated diabetic (DC), the diabetic group received insulin (Ins), and the diabetic group received MgSO4. Two groups of parents received just a normal diet (NDC). Following each set of parents for 16 weeks and their pups for 4 months, while eating normally. We assessed the amount of water consumed, urine volume, and blood glucose level. The levels of glucose, albumin, and creatinine in the urine were also measured, as well as the amounts of sodium, albumin, and creatinine in the serum. Calculations were made for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the excretion rates of Na and glucose fractions (FE Na and FE G, respectively). The hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was done. NOX4 and ICAM1 gene expressions in the kidney were also measured. MgSO4 or insulin therapy decreased blood glucose, IR, and improved GFR, FE Na, and FE G in both parents and their offspring compared to D group. MgSO4 improved NOX4 and ICAM1 gene expressions in the parents and their offspring compared to D group. Our results indicated that MgSO4 could reduce blood glucose levels and insulin resistance, and it could improve kidney function.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with increased risk for diabetes and damage to the kidneys. Evidence suggests that miR-379 plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease. However, its involvement in obesity-induced kidney injury is not known and was therefore investigated in this study by comparing renal phenotypes of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed wild-type (WT) and miR-379 knockout (KO) mice. Male and female WT mice on the HFD for 10 or 24 wk developed obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and kidney dysfunction manifested by albuminuria and glomerular injuries. However, these adverse alterations in HFD-fed WT mice were significantly ameliorated in HFD-fed miR-379 KO mice. HFD feeding increased glomerular expression of miR-379 and decreased its target gene, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) degradation enhancing α-mannosidase-like protein 3 (Edem3), a negative regulator of ER stress. Relative to the standard chow diet-fed controls, expression of profibrotic transforming growth factor-β1 (Tgf-β1) was significantly increased, whereas Zeb2, which encodes ZEB2, a negative regulator of Tgf-β1, was decreased in the glomeruli in HFD-fed WT mice. Notably, these changes as well as HFD-induced increased expression of other profibrotic genes, glomerular hypertrophy, and interstitial fibrosis in HFD-fed WT mice were attenuated in HFD-fed miR-379 KO mice. In cultured primary glomerular mouse mesangial cells (MMCs) isolated from WT mice, treatment with high insulin (mimicking hyperinsulinemia) increased miR-379 expression and decreased its target, Edem3. Moreover, insulin also upregulated Tgf-β1 and downregulated Zeb2 in WT MMCs, but these changes were significantly attenuated in MMCs from miR-379 KO mice. Together, these experiments revealed that miR-379 deletion protects mice from HFD- and hyperinsulinemia-induced kidney injury at least in part through reduced ER stress.NEW & NOTEWORTHY miR-379 knockout mice are protected from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced kidney damage through key miR-379 targets associated with ER stress (Edem3). Mechanistically, treatment of mesangial cells with insulin (mimicking hyperinsulinemia) increased expression of miR-379, Tgf-β1, miR-200, and Chop and decreases Edem3. Furthermore, TGF-β1-induced fibrotic genes are attenuated by a GapmeR targeting miR-379. The results implicate a miR-379/EDEM3/ER stress/miR-200c/Zeb2 signaling pathway in HFD/obesity/insulin resistance-induced renal dysfunction. Targeting miR-379 with GapmeRs can aid in the treatment of obesity-induced kidney disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The review focuses on the shared risk factors observed between coronary heart disease and cancer, cancer therapeutics causing coronary heart disease, and potential strategies to mitigate atherosclerosis in patients with cancer. RECENT FINDINGS The pathophysiology behind how traditional cardiovascular risk factors also contribute to cancer development and mortality is increasingly recognized. In addition, newer cancer therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, cause increased inflammation leading to increased cardiovascular events. Traditional coronary heart disease risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia also contribute to cancer development and worse cancer outcomes. Cancer therapeutics can also lead to atherosclerotic events in addition to the shared risk factors present at the time of cancer diagnosis. Understanding the pathophysiology, using multidisciplinary care teams, and developing machine learning algorithms for individualized patient care will help to mitigate the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with cancer.

MicroRNA-134-5p and the Extent of Arterial Occlusive Disease Are Associated with Risk of Future Adverse Cardiac and Cerebral Events in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Carotid Artery Stenting for Symptomatic Carotid Artery Disease. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27082472.

Abstract
There is little known about the prognostic value of serum microRNAs (miRs) in diabetic patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery disease (ICAS) who underwent stent supported angioplasty (PTA) for ICAS. The present study aimed to investigate expression levels of selected miRs for future major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) as a marker in diabetic patients following ICAS-PTA. The expression levels of 11 chosen circulating serum miRs were compared in 37 diabetic patients with symptomatic ICAS and 64 control group patients with symptomatic ICAS, but free of diabetes. The prospective median follow-up of 84 months was performed for cardiovascular outcomes. Diabetic patients, as compared to control subjects, did not differ with respect to age (p = 0.159), distribution of gender (p = 0.375), hypertension (p = 0.872), hyperlipidemia (p = 0.203), smoking (p = 0.115), coronary heart disease (p = 0.182), lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD, p = 0.731), and miRs expressions except from lower miR-16-5p (p < 0.001). During the follow-up period, MACCE occurred in 16 (43.2%) diabetic and 26 (40.6%) non-diabetic patients (p = 0.624). On multivariate Cox analysis, hazard ratio (HR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI) for diabetic patients associated with MACCE were miR-134-5p (1.12; 1.05−1.21, p < 0.001), miR-499-5p (0.16; 0.02−1.32, p = 0.089), hs-CRP (1.14; 1.02−1.28; p = 0.022), prior myocardial infarction (8.56, 1.91−38.3, p = 0.004), LEAD (11.9; 2.99−47.9, p = 0.005), and RAS (20.2; 2.4−167.5, p = 0.005), while in non-diabetic subjects, only miR-16-5p (1.0006; 1.0001−1.0012, p = 0.016), miR-208b-3p (2.82; 0.91−8.71, p = 0.071), and hypertension (0.27, 0.08−0.95, p = 0.042) were associated with MACCE. Our study demonstrated that different circulating miRs may be prognostic for MACCE in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients with symptomatic ICAS. Higher expression levels of miR-134 were prognostic for MACCE in diabetic patients, while higher expression levels of miR-16 were prognostic in non-diabetic patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have risen steadily worldwide, particularly in low-income and developing countries. In the last hundred years, deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases increased rapidly to 35–40%, becoming the most common cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is aggravated by hypertension. Hypertension and diabetes are closely interlinked since they have similar risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, arterial remodeling, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Patients with high blood pressure often show insulin resistance and have a higher risk of developing diabetes than normotensive individuals. It has been observed that over the last 30 years, the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) has increased significantly. Accordingly, hypertension and insulin resistance are strongly related to an increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and endocrine disorders. Common mechanisms, for instance, upregulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, oxidative stress, inflammation, and activation of the immune system, possibly have a role in the association between diabetes and hypertension. Altogether these abnormalities significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction Insulin resistance and obesity are prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The interaction of body mass index (BMI) and kidney function across the continuum of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is unknown. Methods In a cross-sectional study of 139 patients, 52 with CKD stages 3 and 4 and 87 patients with normal eGFR, we measured the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) using the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). We investigated the interaction between eGFR and BMI in their association with ISI and HOMA-IR using linear models with robust standard errors. Results Median age was 56 (42, 66) years, 50.4% were female, and 36% were African American. Patients with low eGFR (∼30 ml/min per 1.73 m2) had low ISI (2.3 mg/min per μU/ml) regardless of BMI. Among patients with preserved eGFR (>90 ml/min per 1.73m2), BMI had a greater effect on ISI (6.3 mg/min per μU/ml at a BMI of 20 kg/m2 vs. 4.6 mg/min per μU/ml at a BMI of 30 kg/m2) (P for interaction = 0.046). In models adjusted for demographics, and log transformed interleukin-6, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, leptin, and adiponectin, a 1-SD (28 ml/min per 1.73 m2) lower eGFR was associated with a statistically significant 1.14-unit decrease in ISI (95% confidence interval = −1.80, −0.48) among nonobese patients. Among obese patients, the effect estimate was −0.25 (95% confidence interval = −0.88, 0.39). The association between BMI and HOMA-IR was stronger in patients with lower eGFR (P for interaction = 0.005). Conclusion Both eGFR and BMI are independently associated with insulin sensitivity, but the strength of the association between BMI and insulin sensitivity varies significantly across eGFR.

Abstract
Despite the decades-old knowledge that diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the reasons for this association are only partially understood. While this association is true for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, different pathophysiological processes may be responsible. Lipids and other risk factors are indeed important, whereas the role of glucose is less clear. This lack of clarity stems from clinical trials that do not unambiguously show that intensive glycemic control reduces cardiovascular events. Animal models have provided mechanisms that link diabetes to increased atherosclerosis, and evidence consistent with the importance of factors beyond hyperglycemia has emerged. We review clinical, pathological, and animal studies exploring the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in humans living with diabetes and in mouse models of diabetes. An increased effort to identify risk factors beyond glucose is now needed to prevent the increased cardiovascular disease risk associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Leukocyte activation and the resulting oxidative stress induced by bioincompatible materials during hemodialysis impact the prognosis of patients. Despite multiple advances in hemodialysis dialyzers, the prognosis of hemodialysis patients with complications deeply related to oxidative stress, such as diabetes mellitus, remains poor. Thus, we re-evaluated the effects of hemodialysis on multiple reactive oxygen species using electron spin resonance-based methods for further improvement of biocompatibility in hemodialysis. We enrolled 31 patients in a stable condition undergoing hemodialysis using high-flux polysulfone dialyzers. The effects of hemodialysis on reactive oxygen species were evaluated by two methods: MULTIS, which evaluates serum scavenging activities against multiple hydrophilic reactive oxygen species, and i-STrap, which detects lipophilic carbon-center radicals. Similar to previous studies, we found that serum hydroxyl radical scavenging activity significantly improved after hemodialysis. Unlike previous studies, we discovered that scavenging activity against alkoxyl radical was significantly reduced after hemodialysis. Moreover, patients with diabetes mellitus showed a decrease in serum scavenging activity against alkyl peroxyl radicals and an increase in lipophilic carbon-center radicals after hemodialysis. These results suggest that despite extensive improvements in dialyzer membranes, the forms of reactive oxygen species that can be eliminated during dialysis are limited, and multiple reactive oxygen species still remain at increased levels during hemodialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few studies have investigated the associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with incident cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, and mortality in the same large population. This study aimed at estimating the independent risk factors of long or short sleep durations and several typical characteristics of poor sleep quality for incident CVDs, cancer, and mortality. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 407 500 individuals were enrolled. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (HR, 95%CI) of associations of sleep duration and quality with incident CVDs, cancer, and mortality. RESULTS Compared with the sleep duration of 7 h, sleep duration of ≤5 h and ≥9 h were both associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.16-1.34 and HR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.22-1.38, respectively), CVD mortality (HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.09-1.49 and HR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16-1.50, respectively), and CVD incidence (HR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.16-1.31 and HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.15, respectively). Additionally, long sleep duration (≥9 h) was associated with a higher risk of cancer mortality (HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.10-1.30) and cancer incidence (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.12). Moreover, CVD incidence was significantly associated with snoring, insomnia and narcolepsy, increasing the risk by 7%, 26%, and 20%, respectively. CONCLUSION Long sleep durations may substantially increase the risk of mortality and morbidity. Snoring, insomnia, and narcolepsy were independent risk factors for incident CVD.

Chronic kidney disease is highly prevalent worldwide. The decline of renal function is associated with inadequate removal of a variety of uremic toxins that exert detrimental effects on cells functioning, thus affecting the cardiovascular system. The occurrence of cardiovascular aberrations in CKD is related to the impact of traditional risk factors and non-traditional CKD-associated risk factors, including anemia; inflammation; oxidative stress; the presence of some uremic toxins; and factors related to the type, frequency of dialysis and the composition of dialysis fluid. Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause for the deaths of patients with all stages of renal failure. The kidney is one of the vital sources of antioxidant enzymes, therefore, the impairment of this organ is associated with decreased levels of these enzymes as well as increased levels of pro-oxidants. Uremic toxins have been shown to play a vital role in the onset of oxidative stress. Hemodialysis itself also enhances oxidative stress. Elevated oxidative stress has been demonstrated to be strictly related to kidney and cardiac damage as it aggravates kidney dysfunction and induces cardiac hypertrophy. Antioxidant therapies may prove to be beneficial since they can decrease oxidative stress, reduce uremic cardiovascular toxicity and improve survival.

The Effects of Pro-Inflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Agents for the Suppression of Intimal Hyperplasia: An Evidence-Based Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17217825. [PMID: 33114632 PMCID: PMC7672569 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17217825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Anti-atherogenic therapy is crucial in halting the progression of inflammation-induced intimal hyperplasia. The aim of this concise review was to methodically assess the recent findings of the different approaches, mainly on the recruitment of chemokines and/or cytokine and its effects in combating the intimal hyperplasia caused by various risk factors. Pubmed and Scopus databases were searched, followed by article selection based on pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria. The combination of keywords used were monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 OR MCP-1 OR TNF-alpha OR TNF-α AND hyperplasia OR intimal hyperplasia OR neointimal hyperplasia AND in vitro. These keywords combination was incorporated in the study and had successfully identified 77 articles, with 22 articles were acquired from Pubmed, whereas 55 articles were obtained from Scopus. However, after title screening, only twelve articles meet the requirements of defined inclusion criteria. We classified the data into 4 different approaches, i.e., utilisation of natural product, genetic manipulation and protein inhibition, targeted drugs in clinical setting, and chemokine and cytokines induction. Most of the articles are working on genetic manipulation targeted on specific pathway to inhibit the pro-inflammatory factors expression. We also found that the utilisation of chemokine- and cytokine-related treatments are emerging throughout the years. However, there is no study utilising the combination of approaches that might give a better outcome in combating intimal hyperplasia. Hopefully, this concise review will provide an insight regarding the usage of different novel approaches in halting the progression of intimal hyperplasia, which serves as a key factor for the development of atherosclerosis in cardiovascular disease.

The Association between Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study among Taiwanese People Aged over 50 Years. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17197195. [PMID: 33019649 PMCID: PMC7579546 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17197195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2020] [Revised: 09/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background and Aims: Previous studies have implied that insulin resistance (IR) could represent a major underlying abnormality leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between IR (estimated by the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) index) and CVD risk among middle-aged and elderly Taiwanese individuals. Methods: In this cross-sectional, community-based study, a total of 320 participants were interviewed to collect demographical parameters and blood samples. The recruited participants were divided into tertiles according to their levels of HOMA-IR. The Framingham risk score (FRS) was calculated according to the 2008 general CVD risk model from the Framingham Heart Study. Results: The HOMA-IR index was significantly correlated with the FRS, with a Pearson’s coefficient of 0.22. In the multiple logistic regression model, a higher HOMA-IR level was significantly associated with a high FRS (FRS ≥ 20%) (highest tertile vs. lowest tertile of HOMA-IR, crude OR = 3.69; 95% CI = 1.79–7.62), even after adjusting for smoking, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (highest tertile vs. lowest tertile of HOMA-IR, adjusted OR = 11.51; 95% CI = 2.55–51.94). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the HOMA-IR index as the predictor of high FRS was 0.627, and the optimal HOMA-IR cutoff value was 1.215 (sensitivity = 83.6%, specificity = 42.9%). Conclusions: We considered that HOMA-IR is an independent factor but that it cannot be used solely for evaluating the CVD risk due to the low AUC value. Further prospective cohort studies are warranted to better assess the relationship between CVD risk and insulin resistance.

Abstract
A panel of cytokines and growth factors, mediating low-grade inflammation and fibrosis, was assessed in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and different patterns of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with long-term T2D (N = 130) were classified into four groups: no signs of CKD; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 without albuminuria; albuminuria and eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2; albuminuria and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Thirty healthy subjects were acted as control. Twenty-seven cytokines and growth factors were assessed in serum by multiplex bead array assay. Serum hs-CRP, urinary nephrin, podocine, and WFDC2 were measured by ELISA. Patients with T2D showed elevated IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-17A, G-CSF, IP-10, MIP-1α, and bFGF levels; concentrations of IL-4, IL-12, IL-15, INF-γ, and VEGF were decreased. IL-6, IL-17A, G-CSF, MIP-1α, and bFGF correlated negatively with eGFR; IL-10 and VEGF demonstrated negative associations with WFDC2; no relationships with podocyte markers were found. Adjusted IL-17A and MIP-1α were predictors of non-albuminuric CKD, IL-13 predicted albuminuria with preserved renal function, meanwhile, IL-6 and hsCRP were predictors of albuminuria with eGFR decline. Therefore, albuminuric and non-albuminuric CKD in T2D patients are associated with different pro-inflammatory shifts in the panel of circulating cytokines.

Hyperhomocysteinemia Concurrent with Metabolic Syndrome Is Independently Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease among Community-Dwelling Adults in an Urban Korean Population. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17186810.

Abstract
Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the combined effects of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and MetS on CKD among community-dwelling adults in an urban area of South Korea. We also identified the combination of HHcy and individual MetS components associated with the maximal risk of CKD. A retrospective cross-sectional study involving 19,311 health examinees between 2 January 2011 and 31 December 2015 was conducted. The participants were divided into four groups—namely, the HHcy−/MetS−, HHcy−/MetS+, HHcy+/MetS−, and HHcy+/MetS+ groups. CKD was defined as a low eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or albuminuria. The HHcy+/MetS+ group had a higher risk of CKD than the HHcy−/MetS+ group (odds ratio (OR): 1.750, p = 0.002 for males; OR: 3.224, p < 0.001 for females). The HHcy+/MetS+ group had a higher CKD risk than the HHcy+/MetS− group; however, the difference was not statistically significant (OR: 1.070, p = 0.712 for males; OR: 1.847, and p < 0.074 for females). HHcy concurrent with MetS increased the CKD risk. Among the combinations of HHcy and MetS components, the coexistence of HHcy and central obesity had the greatest effect on CKD. Therefore, the timely detection and treatment of HHcy and MetS are important for preventing CKD.

Abstract
Generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) is necessary for both physiology and pathology. An imbalance between endogenous oxidants and antioxidants causes oxidative stress, contributing to vascular dysfunction. The ROS-induced activation of transcription factors and proinflammatory genes increases inflammation. This phenomenon is of crucial importance in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), because atherosclerosis is one of the critical factors of their cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increased mortality. The effect of ROS disrupts the excretory function of each section of the nephron. It prevents the maintenance of intra-systemic homeostasis and leads to the accumulation of metabolic products. Renal regulatory mechanisms, such as tubular glomerular feedback, myogenic reflex in the supplying arteriole, and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, are also affected. It makes it impossible for the kidney to compensate for water–electrolyte and acid–base disturbances, which progress further in the mechanism of positive feedback, leading to a further intensification of oxidative stress. As a result, the progression of CKD is observed, with a spectrum of complications such as malnutrition, calcium phosphate abnormalities, atherosclerosis, and anemia. This review aimed to show the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in renal impairment, with a particular emphasis on its influence on the most common disturbances that accompany CKD.

Abstract
Reducing cardiovascular risk (CVR) is the main focus of diabetes mellitus (DM) management nowadays. Complex pathogenic mechanisms that are the subject of this review lead to early and severe atherosclerosis in DM patients. Although it is not a cardiovascular disease equivalent at the moment of diagnosis, DM subjects are affected by numerous cardiovascular complications, such as acute coronary syndrome, stroke, or peripheral artery disease, as the disease duration increases. Therefore, early therapeutic intervention is mandatory and recent guidelines focus on intensive CVR factor management: hyperglycaemia, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. Most important, the appearance of oral or injectable antidiabetic medication such as SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 agonists has proven that an antidiabetic drug not only reduces glycaemia, but also reduces CVR by complex mechanisms. A profound understanding of intimate mechanisms that generate atherosclerosis in DM and ways to inhibit or delay them are of the utmost importance in a society where cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are predominant.

Abstract
Introduction: Hemodialysis stands out as an eligible treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease. The subsequent inflammatory process resulting from this disease and hemodialysis per se is exacerbated in this therapy. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that can participate in the inhibition of pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory processes and could be considered a measurement that indicates the progression of chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Objectives: The present study investigated selenemia in hemodialysis patients of the ABC region of São Paulo and aimed to establish the correlation between an inflammatory marker and selenemia in this conditions disease. Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study of the Faculdade de Medicina do ABC in patients submitted to hemodialysis three times a week for at least six months. The eligible group composed of 21 patients, who filled out forms and underwent biochemical tests (colorimetric enzyme methods, flow cytometer, turbidimetric method and mass spectrometry). Results: The study population showed, women (70%), men (30%) with a mean age of 47 ± 17 years, Caucasians (36%) and non-Caucasian (64%), hypertensive (68%), smokers (53%) and non-smokers (64%). There was a hegemonic prevalence of systolic arterial hypertension (SAH) 68.1% in relation to diabetes mellitus (DM) (50%). Pre and post hemodialysis (HD) selenemia showed statistical significance, which did not occur with C-reactive protein. There was a predominance of females in our sample; the pre- and post-HD selenemia were within the normal range of the reference values; there was a statistically significant correlation between pre and post-HD selenemia; there was no correlation with statistical significance between values of pre and post-HD C-reactive protein. Conclusion: Our data showed that there was no direct relationship between pre- and post-HD inflammation and pre- and post-HD selenemia.

Abstract
Infliximab (IFX), a monoclonal antibody for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is known to restore blood glucose homeostasis. However, its effects on improving renal insulin resistance (IR) are not yet studied. So we investigate the impact of infliximab on renal insulin signaling pathway in IR rat model regarding to metformin (MET). The induced IR was confirmed by a high oral glucose tolerance test, an elevation of lipid profile and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance 2 (HOMA-IR 2) values. Subsequently, IR rats were concurrently treated with either MET (100 mg/kg/day) or IFX (one dose 5 mg/kg) besides IR and normal control (NC) groups. Four weeks later, IR control rats displayed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and elevation in HOMA-IR 2, renal function markers and renal tissue TNF-α, interleukins-1β and 6 (Il-1β, IL-6) and suppressor of cytokines signaling 3 (SOCS3) contents as well as glomerulosclerosis when compared to NC group. Additionally, the phosphorylation of renal insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) were markedly impaired. Treatment with either MET or IFX significantly improved IR and kidney functions. The effects of the drugs were achieved by the downregulation of renal inflammatory cytokines and SOCS3 levels and the amelioration of the renal IRS1/PI3K/Akt pathway. In conclusion, MET and IFX ameliorated the TNF-α worsening effect on IR in rat renal tissues by regulating insulin signaling. Interestingly, infliximab was superior to metformin in regulating insulin signaling pathway. Therefore, infliximab could be used as an adjuvant therapy in improving renal IR.

Abstract
Background We have hypothesized that the problem of dyslipidemia in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lies beyond certain levels of plasma lipoprotein and involves cardiovascular risk, but can also influence the development of chronic intraperitoneal inflammation. Objectives The aim of our work was to define whether the association of dyslipidemia with intraperitoneal inflammation really exists and if it could it be used in a prospective cohort of PD patients. Patients and Methods We performed a cross-sectional, single-center, pilot study involving 40 nondiabetic PD patients (27 men and 13 women with an average age of 49.3 ± 12.2 years). The median time on PD was 29 (18.5-37) months. The parameters dialysis adequacy, blood lipid profile, and the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, and interleukin (IL)-10 in peritoneal dialysate effluent (PDE) were determined. Cohen's d effect size was computed post hoc to determine the differences between groups in the concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Results PD patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia had significantly high levels of MCP-1 compared with dyslipidemia-free patients (Cohen's d = 1.32). A reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was associated with a high intraperitoneal production of the proinflammatory mediator TNF-α (p < 0.0001) and anti-inflammatory IL-10 (p < 0.0001). Atherogenic index of plasma was directly correlated with MCP-1 (p < 0.0001) and TNF-α (p < 0.0001). In multiple regression analysis, MCP-1 appeared to predict PD inadequacy (R 2 = 0.58; F ratio = 9.4; p = 0.006) independently of age and blood C-reactive protein level. Effect size was 1.38 with α = 0.05, n = 40, and 3 predictors. Conclusions Our cross-sectional pilot study first demonstrated a close interaction between the atherogenic lipid profile and a high concentration of MCP-1 in PDE; this might be a prognostic marker for PD inadequacy. The potential significance of our finding is that it provides useful preliminary information necessary for further research into this area.

Abstract
The long noncoding RNA HOXA-AS3 has recently been reported to act as a critical regulator in inflammation-linked lung adenocarcinoma. However, the roles of HOXA-AS3 in endothelium inflammation and related vascular disorders remain poorly defined. In the current study, we identified HOXA-AS3 to be a critical activator to promote NF-κB-mediated endothelium inflammation. HOXA-AS3, a chromatin-associated regulator which colocalizes with NF-κB at specific gene promoters, was found to interact with NF-κB and positively regulate its activity through control of the expression of the NF-κB inhibitor protein IκBα and the acetylation status at the K310 site of p65. More importantly, clinicopathological analysis showed that HOXA-AS3 expression has a significant positive correlation with atherosclerosis. Thus, we conclude that HOXA-AS3 may serve as a crucial biomarker for the clinical diagnosis of atherosclerosis, as well as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple inflammatory vascular diseases. In addition, this study suggests the functional importance of HOXA-AS3 in the regulation of inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Chronic subclinical inflammation is a central process in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and it has been linked with both the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Several pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been described as independent risk factors for coronary heart disease and promoters of atherogenesis. Thus, extensive research is being conducted to assess the role of anti-inflammatory therapy in the primary and secondary prevention of CVD. Our review aims to provide the clinical and scientific data pertaining to the effects of different anti-inflammatory agents administered in patients with CVD.
