Abstract
A healthy and balanced diet is an important factor to assure a good functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system. Retinoid X receptor (RXR)-mediated signaling was identified as an important mechanism of transmitting major diet-dependent physiological and nutritional signaling such as the control of myelination and dopamine signalling. Recently, vitamin A5/X, mainly present in vegetables as provitamin A5/X, was identified as a new concept of a vitamin which functions as the nutritional precursor for enabling RXR-mediated signaling. The active form of vitamin A5/X, 9-cis-13,14-dehydroretinoic acid (9CDHRA), induces RXR-activation, thereby acting as the central switch for enabling various heterodimer-RXR-signaling cascades involving various partner heterodimers like the fatty acid and eicosanoid receptors/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), the cholesterol receptors/liver X receptors (LXRs), the vitamin D receptor (VDR), and the vitamin A(1) receptors/retinoic acid receptors (RARs). Thus, nutritional supply of vitamin A5/X might be a general nutritional-dependent switch for enabling this large cascade of hormonal signaling pathways and thus appears important to guarantee an overall organism homeostasis. RXR-mediated signaling was shown to be dependent on vitamin A5/X with direct effects for beneficial physiological and neuro-protective functions mediated systemically or directly in the brain. In summary, through control of dopamine signaling, amyloid β-clearance, neuro-protection and neuro-inflammation, the vitamin A5/X - RXR - RAR - vitamin A(1)-signaling might be "one of" or even "the" critical factor(s) necessary for good mental health, healthy brain aging, as well as for preventing drug addiction and prevention of a large array of nervous system diseases. Likewise, vitamin A5/X - RXR - non-RAR-dependent signaling relevant for myelination/re-myelination and phagocytosis/brain cleanup will contribute to such regulations too. In this review we discuss the basic scientific background, logical connections and nutritional/pharmacological expert recommendations for the nervous system especially considering the ageing brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adropin, a newly identified regulatory protein has garnered attention given its potential role in metabolism regulation, especially glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. However, studies on the association between adropin and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are equivocal. The aim of this study is to assess the association between serum adropin levels and T2DM using a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of science, and Google Scholar were searched, up to August 2022, for studies that reported the association between serum levels of adropin in adults with T2DM compared to a control group without diabetes. A random-effect model was used to compute the pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Meta-analysis of 15 studies (n = 2813 participants) revealed that the serum adropin concentrations were significantly lower in patients with T2DM compared with the control group (WMD= -0.60 ng/mL, 95% CI: -0.70 to -0.49; I2 = 99.5%). Subgroup analysis also found lower concentration of adropin in patients with T2DM who were otherwise healthy compared to a control group (n = 9; WMD=-0.04 ng/ml, 95% CI= -0.06 to -0.01, p = 0.002; I2 = 96.4). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed adropin levels are lower in patients with diabetes compared to a control group without diabetes. However, the limitations of observational studies challenge the validity of the results, and further investigations are needed to confirm the veracity of these findings and additionally explore possible mechanisms.

Energy Homeostasis Gene Nucleotide Variants and Survival of Hemodialysis Patients-A Genetic Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11185477. [PMID: 36143124 PMCID: PMC9501434 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11185477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) therapy have an increased risk of death compared to the general population. We investigated whether selected single nucleotide variants (SNVs) involved in glucose and lipid metabolism are associated with mortality risk in HD patients. Methods: The study included 805 HD patients tested for 11 SNVs in FOXO3, IGFBP3, FABP1, PCSK9, ANGPTL6, and DOCK6 using HRM analysis and TaqMan assays. FOXO3, IGFBP3, L-FABP, PCSK9, ANGPTL6, and ANGPTL8 plasma concentrations were measured by ELISA in 86 individuals. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models were used for survival analyses. Results: We found out that the carriers of a C allele in ANGPTL6 rs8112063 had an increased risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cardiac mortality. In addition, the C allele of DOCK6 rs737337 was associated with all-cause and cardiac mortality. The G allele of DOCK6 rs17699089 was correlated with the mortality risk of patients initiating HD therapy. The T allele of FOXO3 rs4946936 was negatively associated with cardiac and cardiovascular mortality in HD patients. We observed no association between the tested proteins’ circulating levels and the survival of HD patients. Conclusions: The ANGPTL6 rs8112063, FOXO3 rs4946936, DOCK6 rs737337, and rs17699089 nucleotide variants are predictors of survival in patients undergoing HD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the early complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in diabetic patients. Evaluation of biomarkers of energy and adipokine metabolism can help in the early identification of diabetic patients at risk of AHF.
AIM: The present study is aimed to predict the development of AHF in diabetic patients with AMI based on energy and adipokine metabolism parameters.
METHODS: A total of 74 diabetic patients with AMI were examined between September 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020. Serum adropin, irisin, and C1q/TNF-related protein 3 (CTRP3) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. To predict AHF development in AMI patients, generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was applied.
RESULTS: The serum concentrations of adropin, irisin, and CTRP3 have been found to be reduced in diabetic patients with AMI and AHF. The accuracy of predicting AHF Killip Class 1 was 96.7%, and the accuracy of prediction for AHF Killip Class 2 was 57.1%, that is, the model was poorly sensitive to this level of complications. The prediction accuracy for AHF Killip Class 3 was 80%, that is, the model was highly sensitive to complications of this level, and for AHF Killip Class 4 – 100% being the maximum level of the model sensitivity.
CONCLUSIONS: Low serum concentrations of adropin, irisin, and CTRP3 indicate an imbalance in energy and adipokine homeostasis. The constructed model predicts the probability of AHF development with high accuracy of 91.9% in diabetic patients with AMI.

Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is a complex trait that is influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. While the exact cause of dyslipidemia is still unknown, some studies have shown that genetic factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been primarily associated with dyslipidemia. Based on the available data, it appears that retinoid X receptor (RXR) genes are jointly or separately associated with lipid homeostasis and that SNPs may affect RXR gene functions in lipid metabolism. Methods To study the possible role of the RXR genes in genetic susceptibility of dyslipidemia, three selected polymorphisms, rs3132294 located in RXRA (RXR-alpha) gene and rs2651860 and rs1128977 located in RXRG (RXR-gamma) gene, were investigated in 391 individuals with the use of tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS PCR) method. Results For the rs3132294 SNP, the genotype frequencies in the case group were GG 58.5%, GA 33.2%, and AA 8.3%, and in the control group, they were GG 51.8%, GA 36.3%, and AA 11.9%. The genotype distribution of rs2651860 SNP in the case group were TT 43.2%, TG 52.1%, and GG 4.7%, and in the control group, they were TT 50.8%, TG 46.2%, and GG 3%. Genotype frequencies for the rs1128977 SNP in the case group were CC 34.7%, CT 47.6% and TT 17.7%, compared with CC 37.8%, CT 44.3%, and TT 17.9% in the control group. When the clinical characteristics of the case and control groups were stratified by allele carrier status for each SNP, the rs1128977 SNP was associated with increased levels of HDL-cholesterol, body mass index, waist circumference, and diastolic blood pressure (P< 0.05). In contrast, the alleles of the rs2651860 and rs3132294 SNP were not associated with an increased prevalence of dyslipidemia or clinical characteristics in the case group compared to the control group. Conclusion The present study suggests that rs1128977 SNP in the RXRG gene may affect the clinical characteristics in cases. However, further genetics association studies on large samples are required to validate our findings.

Abstract
Adropin is a novel pleotropic peptide involved in energy homeostasis, with possible contribution to cardiovascular protection through production of nitric oxide and subsequent blood pressure regulation. Given that patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are related with high cardiovascular risk, hyperlipidemia, chronic low-grade inflammation, and malnutrition the aim of our study was to investigate serum adropin levels in HD patients to evaluate possible associations with nutritional status and other relevant clinical and laboratory parameters. The study included 70 patients on HD and 60 healthy controls. Serum adropin levels were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a commercially available diagnostic kit. Serum adropin levels were significantly lower in the HD group compared to the control group (2.20 ± 0.72 vs. 4.05 ± 0.93 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation with malnutrition-inflammation score (r = −0.476, p < 0.001), dialysis malnutrition score (r = −0.350, p = 0.003), HD duration (r = −0.305, p = 0.010), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (r = −0.646, p < 0.001). Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between adropin levels and pre-dialysis systolic (r = −0.301, p = 0.011) and diastolic blood pressure (r = −0.299, p = 0.011). These results are implying that adropin is potentially involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic kidney disease (CKD)/HD and its complications. However, future larger scale longitudinal studies need to further address it.

Abstract
We designed a case-control study and selected LXR-α rs7120118 C>T and ABCA1 rs2230806 A>G polymorphisms to determine the correlation between these polymorphisms and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Three hundred DKD patients and 346 type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients without kidney disease were recruited. Our results showed that rs7120118 was associated with DKD (genotype, P = .027; allele, P < .011). rs7120118 was associated with a higher risk of DKD under a dominant model adjustment by age and sex (P = .015) and an additive model (P = .040); rs2230806 was associated with a higher risk of DKD under an recessive model (P < .03); the combined effect of rs7120118 CC+rs2230806 GG genotype showed an association of DKD adjustment for age and sex (P = .009). In subgroup analysis of patients without hypercholesterolemia, the rs2230806 genotype frequencies were different between the two groups (P = .042). rs2230806 was associated with increased risk of DKD under a recessive model adjustment for age and sex (P = .013) and an additive model (P = .031). Our results suggest that LXR-α rs7120118 is significantly associated with a higher risk of DKD, and ABCA1 rs2230806 is significantly associated with a higher risk of DKD without hypercholesterolemia in Chinese Han individuals.

Calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) polymorphisms and CASR transcript level concerning dyslipidemia in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study. BMC Nephrol 2019; 20:436. [PMID: 31775661 PMCID: PMC6882244 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-019-1619-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is scarce data on CASR associations with dyslipidemia. We investigated in hemodialysis (HD) patients whether CASR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs7652589 and rs1801725 have associations with dyslipidemia and show epistatic interactions with SNPs of the energy homeostasis-associated gene (ENHO), retinoid X receptor α gene (RXRA), and liver X receptor α gene (LXRA). METHODS The study included 1208 HD subjects. For diagnosis of dyslipidemia, both K/DOQI criteria and atherogenic index ≥3.8 were used. CASR rs1801725 was genotyped by TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay, other SNPs - by high-resolution melting curve analysis or polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, as appropriate. Relative transcript levels of CASR, ENHO, RXRA, and LXRA were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The occurrence of dyslipidemic phenotypes concerning tested polymorphisms was compared using models of inheritance. Haplotypes were estimated using the Haploview 4.2 software. Epistatic interactions between tested SNPs were analyzed using the logistic regression and epistasis option in the PLINK software. RESULTS Rs7652589 indicated a greater probability of atherogenic dyslipidemia in the dominant inheritance model (OR 1.4, 95%CI 1.0-2.0, P = 0.026), principally because of increased triglyceride (TG) levels. The rs1801725 variant allele was associated with a decreased probability of dyslipidemia characterized by non-HDL-cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL and TG ≥200 mg/dL (OR 0.6, 0.4-0.9, P = 0.012). There were no epistatic interactions between CASR and RXRA, LXRA, and ENHO regarding dyslipidemia. Both rs7652589 and rs1801725 SNPs were not in linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.091, r2 = 0.003 for the entire HD group) and their haplotypes did not correlate with dyslipidemia. Relative CASR transcript was lower at a borderline significance level in patients harboring the rs1801725 variant allele compared with homozygotes of the major allele (0.20, 0.06-7.80 vs. 0.43, 0.04-5.06, P = 0.058). CASR transcript correlated positively with RXRA transcript (adjusted P = 0.001), LXRA transcript (adjusted P = 0.0009), ENHO transcript (borderline significance, adjusted P = 0.055), dry body weight (adjusted P = 0.035), and renal replacement therapy duration (adjusted P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS CASR polymorphisms (rs7652589, rs1801725) are associated with dyslipidemia in HD patients. CASR correlates with RXRA, LXRA, and ENHO at the transcript level. Further investigations may elucidate whether other CASR SNPs contribute to associations shown in this study.
