Cell Biochem Biophys 2022; 80:579-589. [PMID: 35907080 PMCID: PMC9388453 DOI: 10.1007/s12013-022-01085-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
It was the aim of this study to determine whether abdominal massage reverses high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance compared with RSV treatment. A total of sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly placed in one of four groups:the non-fat diet (NFD), the high-fat diet (HFD), the HFD with abdominal massage (HFD+ AM), and the HFD plus resveratrol (HFD+ RSV). For eight weeks, rats were fed high-fat diets to create insulin resistance, followed by six weeks of either AM or RSV. Molecular mechanisms of adipogenesis and cytokine production in rats with high-fat diets were investigated. The model rat adipose tissue showed significant improvements in obesity, glucose intolerance, and the accumulation of lipid in the body [the total cholesterol level (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], metabolic effects of glucose [The fasting blood glucose (FBG), Fasting insulin levels (FINS)], inflammatory status [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, C-reactive protein (CRP)], and macrophage polarization after AM or RSV treatment. Further, AM increased SIRT1/NF-κB signaling in rat adipose tissue. Accordingly, in rat adipose tissue, our results indicate that AM regulates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, blood sugar levels, and related signaling pathways, contributing to improvement of IR, which may serves as a new therapeutic approach for the treatment for IR.

Promoter polymorphism of TNF-α (rs1800629) is associated with ischemic stroke susceptibility in a southern Thai population. Biomed Rep 2021; 15:78. [PMID: 34405050 PMCID: PMC8329996 DOI: 10.3892/br.2021.1454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Stroke represents the leading cause of disability and mortality amongst the elderly worldwide. Multiple risk factors, including both genetic and non-genetic components, as well as their interactions, are proposed as etiological factors involved in the development of ischemic stroke (IS). Promoter polymorphisms of the IL-6-174G/C (rs1800795) and TNF-α-308G/A (rs1800629) genes have been considered as predictive risk factors of IS; however, these have not yet been evaluated in a Thai population. The aims of this study were to investigate the association of IL-6-174G/C and TNF-α-308G/A polymorphisms with IS. Genomic DNA from 200 patients with IS and 200 controls were genotyped for IL-6-174G/C and TNF-α-308G/A polymorphisms using TaqMan™ SNP genotyping and quantitative PCR-high resolution melting analysis, respectively. It was found that the TNF-α-308 A allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of IS development compared with the G allele [odds ratio (OR)=2.044; 95% CI=1.154-3.620; P=0.014]. Moreover, the IS risk was significantly higher in the presence of TNF-α-308 GA or AA genotypes compared with that in the presence of GG genotypes with a dominant inheritance (OR=1.971; 95% CI=1.080-3.599; P=0.027). However, there was no association between IL-6-174G/C and the risk of IS development. The interaction study demonstrated that IL-6-174 GG and TNF-α-308 GG genotypes enhanced IS susceptibility when combined with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and alcohol consumption. Hypertensive and hyperlipidemic subjects with the TNF-α-308 GA and AA genotypes were more likely to develop IS compared with those who did not have these two conditions and had the GG genotype. In a matched study design (1:1), the IL-6-174 GC genotype was associated with higher IL-6 levels in the control group. Collectively, the present results highlight the utility of the TNF-α-308G/A polymorphism as a predictive genetic risk factor for development of IS.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the principal cause of end-stage renal disease and results in high morbidity and mortality in patients, causing a large socioeconomic burden. Multiple factors, such as metabolic abnormalities, inflammation, immunoregulation and genetic predisposition, contribute to the pathogenesis of DN, but the exact mechanism is unclear, and the therapeutic strategies are not satisfactory. Accordingly, there is an unmet need for new therapeutic targets and strategies for DN. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as major epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression and provide novel insights into our understanding of the molecular and signaling pathways that are associated with various diseases, including DN. Studies in the past decade have shown that different miRNAs affect the progression of DN by modulating different aspects of immune and inflammatory responses. Therefore, in this review, we summarized the pivotal roles of miRNAs in inflammatory and immune processes, with an integrative comprehension of the detailed signaling network. Additionally, we discussed the possibilities and significance of these miRNAs as therapeutic targets in the treatment of DN. This review will facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets and novel strategies that can be translated into clinical applications for DN treatment.

Investigation of the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss and associated comorbidities in patients with chronic kidney disease: A nationwide, population-based cohort study. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0238913. [PMID: 32915865 PMCID: PMC7485846 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0238913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Hearing impairment was observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our purpose was to investigate the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and associated comorbidities in the CKD population. We conducted a retrospective, population-based study to examine the risk of developing SNHL in patients with CKD. Population-based data from 2000–2010 from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database of the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database was used in this study. The population sample comprised 185,430 patients who were diagnosed with CKD, and 556,290 without CKD to determine SNHL risk factors. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis demonstrated the CKD group had a significantly increased risk of SNHL compared with the non-CKD group [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 3.42; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.01–3.90, p < 0.001]. In the CKD group, the risk of SNHL (adjusted HR, 5.92) was higher among patients undergoing hemodialysis than among those not undergoing hemodialysis (adjusted HR, 1.40). Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed an increased risk of SNHL in patients with CKD and comorbidities, including heart failure (adjusted HR, 7.48), liver cirrhosis (adjusted HR, 4.12), type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjusted HR, 3.98), hypertension (adjusted HR, 3.67), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (adjusted HR, 3.45). CKD is an independent risk of developing SNHL. Additionally, hemodialysis for uremia can increase the risk of SNHL. Cardiovascular, lung, liver, and metabolic comorbidities in CKD patients may further aggravate the risk of SNHL by inter-organ crosstalk. We should pay attention to SNHL in this high-risk population.
