[PMID: 39233055 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2024.107394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
Mitophagy, the cellular process of selectively eliminating damaged mitochondria, plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic balance and preventing insulin resistance, both key factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development. When mitophagy malfunctions in diabetic neuropathy, it triggers a cascade of metabolic disruptions, including reduced energy production, increased oxidative stress, and cell death, ultimately leading to various complications. Thus, targeting mitophagy to enhance the process may have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for T2DM and its complications. Notably, plant-derived compounds with β-cell protective and mitophagy-stimulating properties offer potential as novel therapeutic agents. This review highlights the intricate mechanisms linking mitophagy dysfunction to T2DM and its complications, particularly neuropathy, elucidating potential therapeutic interventions for this debilitating disease.

Assessment of subclinical LV myocardial dysfunction in T2DM patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:217. [PMID: 38915040 PMCID: PMC11197260 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02307-x] [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: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most prevalent complication of diabetes, and has been demonstrated to be independently associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. This aim of this study was to investigate the subclinical left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without DPN. METHODS One hundred and thirty T2DM patients without DPN, 61 patients with DPN and 65 age and sex-matched controls who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were included, all subjects had no symptoms of heart failure and LV ejection fraction ≥ 50%. LV myocardial non-infarct late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was determined. LV global strains, including radial, circumferential and longitudinal peak strain (PS) and peak systolic and diastolic strain rates (PSSR and PDSR, respectively), were evaluated using CMR feature tracking and compared among the three groups. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to determine the independent factors of reduced LV global myocardial strains in T2DM patients. RESULTS The prevalence of non-infarct LGE was higher in patients with DPN than those without DPN (37.7% vs. 19.2%, p = 0.008). The LV radial and longitudinal PS (radial: 36.60 ± 7.24% vs. 33.57 ± 7.30% vs. 30.72 ± 8.68%; longitudinal: - 15.03 ± 2.52% vs. - 13.39 ± 2.48% vs. - 11.89 ± 3.02%), as well as longitudinal PDSR [0.89 (0.76, 1.05) 1/s vs. 0.80 (0.71, 0.93) 1/s vs. 0.77 (0.63, 0.87) 1/s] were decreased significantly from controls through T2DM patients without DPN to patients with DPN (all p < 0.001). LV radial and circumferential PDSR, as well as circumferential PS were reduced in both patient groups (all p < 0.05), but were not different between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Radial and longitudinal PSSR were decreased in patients with DPN (p = 0.006 and 0.003, respectively) but preserved in those without DPN (all p > 0.05). Multivariable linear regression analyses adjusting for confounders demonstrated that DPN was independently associated with LV radial and longitudinal PS (β = - 3.025 and 1.187, p = 0.014 and 0.003, respectively) and PDSR (β = 0.283 and - 0.086, p = 0.016 and 0.001, respectively), as well as radial PSSR (β = - 0.266, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS There was more severe subclinical LV dysfunction in T2DM patients complicated with DPN than those without DPN, suggesting further prospective study with more active intervention in this cohort of patients.

Abstract
Dysfunction of cerebral endothelial cells (CECs) has been implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite evidence showing cytotoxic effects of oligomeric amyloid-β (oAβ) and Tau (oTau) in the central nervous system, their direct effects on CECs have not been fully investigated. In this study, we examined the direct effects of oAβ, oTau, and their combination on cell adhesion properties and inflammatory responses in CECs. We found that both oAβ and oTau increased cell stiffness, as well as the p-selectin/Sialyl-LewisX (sLeX) bonding-mediated membrane tether force and probability of adhesion in CECs. Consistent with these biomechanical alterations, treatments with oAβ or oTau also increased actin polymerization and the expression of p-selectin at the cell surface. These toxic oligomeric peptides also triggered inflammatory responses, including upregulations of p-NF-kB p65, IL-1β, and TNF-α. In addition, they rapidly activated the RhoA/ROCK pathway. These biochemical and biomechanical changes were further enhanced by the treatment with the combination of oAβ and oTau, which were significantly suppressed by Fasudil, a specific inhibitor for the RhoA/ROCK pathway. In conclusion, our data suggest that oAβ, oTau, and their combination triggered subcellular mechanical alterations and inflammatory responses in CECs through the RhoA/ROCK pathway.

Biomarkers and signaling pathways of diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy: possible therapeutic intervention of rutin and quercetin. Diabetol Int 2024; 15:145-169. [PMID: 38524936 PMCID: PMC10959902 DOI: 10.1007/s13340-023-00680-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy are the two main complications of chronic diabetes that contribute to high morbidity and mortality. These conditions are characterized by the dysregulation of multiple molecular signaling pathways and the presence of specific biomarkers such as inflammatory cytokines, indicators of oxidative stress, and components of the renin-angiotensin system. In this review, we systematically collected and collated the relevant information from MEDLINE, EMBASE, ELSEVIER, PUBMED, GOOGLE, WEB OF SCIENCE, and SCOPUS databases. This review was conceived with primary objective of revealing the functions of these biomarkers and signaling pathways in the initiation and progression of diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy. We also highlighted the potential therapeutic effectiveness of rutin and quercetin, two plant-derived flavonoids known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The findings of our study demonstrated that both flavonoids can regulate important disease-promoting systems, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system. Importantly, rutin and quercetin have shown protective benefits against nephropathy and neuropathy in diabetic animal models, suggesting them as potential therapeutic agents. These findings provide a solid foundation for further comprehensive investigations and clinical trials to evaluate the potential of rutin and quercetin in the management of diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy. This may contribute to the development of more efficient and comprehensive treatment approaches for diabetes-associated complications.

Abstract
Neuraminidases cleave sialic acids from glycocalyx structures and plasma neuraminidase activity is elevated in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Therefore, we hypothesize circulating neuraminidase degrades the endothelial glycocalyx and diminishes flow-mediated dilation (FMD), whereas its inhibition restores shear mechanosensation and endothelial function in T2D settings. We found that compared with controls, subjects with T2D have higher plasma neuraminidase activity, reduced plasma nitrite concentrations, and diminished FMD. Ex vivo and in vivo neuraminidase exposure diminished FMD and reduced endothelial glycocalyx presence in mouse arteries. In cultured endothelial cells, neuraminidase reduced glycocalyx coverage. Inhalation of the neuraminidase inhibitor, zanamivir, reduced plasma neuraminidase activity, enhanced endothelial glycocalyx length, and improved FMD in diabetic mice. In humans, a single-arm trial (NCT04867707) of zanamivir inhalation did not reduce plasma neuraminidase activity, improved glycocalyx length, or enhanced FMD. Although zanamivir plasma concentrations in mice reached 225.8 ± 22.0 ng/mL, in humans were only 40.0 ± 7.2 ng/mL. These results highlight the potential of neuraminidase inhibition for ameliorating endothelial dysfunction in T2D and suggest the current Food and Drug Administration-approved inhaled dosage of zanamivir is insufficient to achieve desired outcomes in humans.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This work identifies neuraminidase as a key mediator of endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes that may serve as a biomarker for impaired endothelial function and predictive of development and progression of cardiovascular pathologies associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Data show that intervention with the neuraminidase inhibitor zanamivir at effective plasma concentrations may represent a novel pharmacological strategy for restoring the glycocalyx and ameliorating endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Randomized trials have demonstrated efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Preliminary data suggested that treatment of PDN with high-frequency SCS resulted in improvements on neurological examination. The purpose of the present study was to explore whether patients with PDN treated with high-frequency SCS would have improvements in lower-extremity peripheral nerve function. DESIGN Prospective cohort study in an outpatient clinical practice at a tertiary care center. METHODS Patients with PDN were treated with high-frequency SCS and followed up for 12 months after SCS implantation with clinical outcomes assessments of pain intensity, neuropathic symptoms, and neurological function. Small-fiber sudomotor function was assessed with the quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART), and large-fiber function was assessed with nerve conduction studies (NCS). Lower-extremity perfusion was assessed with laser Doppler flowmetry. RESULTS Nine patients completed 12-month follow-up visits and were observed to have improvements in lower-extremity pain, weakness, and positive sensory symptoms. Neuropathy impairment scores were improved, and 2 patients had recovery of sensory responses on NCS. A reduction in sweat volume on QSART was observed in the proximal leg but not at other sites. No significant differences were noted in lower-extremity perfusion or NCS as compared with baseline. CONCLUSIONS The improvement in pain relief was concordant with improvement in neuropathy symptoms. The findings from this study provide encouraging preliminary data in support of the hypothesis of a positive effect of SCS on peripheral neuropathy, but the findings are based on small numbers and require further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has been shown to be independently associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate changes in left ventricular (LV) microvascular perfusion and myocardial deformation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without DPN, as well as to investigate the association between myocardial perfusion and LV deformation. METHODS Between October 2015 and July 2022, one hundred and twenty-three T2DM patients without DPN, fifty-four patients with DPN and sixty age‑ and sex‑matched controls who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging were retrospectively analyzed. LV myocardial perfusion parameters at rest, including upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), max signal intensity (max SI), and myocardial strains, including global radial, circumferential and longitudinal strain (GRS, GCS and GLS, respectively), were calculated and compared among the groups with One‑way analysis of variance. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to explore the independent factors influencing LV myocardial perfusion indices and LV strains in diabetes. RESULTS The LV GLS, upslope and max SI were significantly deteriorated from controls, through patients without DPN, to patients with DPN (all P < 0.001). Compared with controls, TTM was increased and LV GRS and GCS were decreased in both patient groups (all P < 0.05). Multivariable regression analyses considering covariates showed that DPN was independently associated with reduced upslope, max SI and LV GLS (β = - 0.360, - 2.503 and 1.113, p = 0.021, 0.031 and 0.010, respectively). When the perfusion indices upslope and max SI were included in the multivariable analysis for LV deformation, DPN and upslope (β = 1.057 and - 0.870, p = 0.020 and 0.018, respectively) were significantly associated with LV GLS. CONCLUSION In patients with T2DM, there was more severe LV microvascular and myocardial dysfunction in patients with complicated DPN, and deteriorated subclinical LV systolic dysfunction was associated with impaired myocardial circulation.

Abstract
Exosomes derived from endothelial cells and Schwann cells have been employed as novel treatments of neurological diseases, including peripheral neuropathy. Exosomal cargo plays a critical role in mediating recipient cell function. In this study, we thus performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from healthy mouse dermal microvascular endothelial cells (EC-Exo) and healthy mouse Schwann cells (SC-Exo). We detected 1,817and 1,579 proteins in EC-Exo and SC-Exo, respectively. Among them, 1506 proteins were present in both EC-Exo and SC-Exo, while 311 and 73 proteins were detected only in EC-Exo and SC-Exo, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that EC-Exo enriched proteins were involved in neurovascular function, while SC-Exo enriched proteins were related to lipid metabolism. Western blot analysis of 14 enriched proteins revealed that EC-Exo contained proteins involved in mediating endothelial function such as delta-like 4 (DLL4) and endothelial NOS (NOS3), whereas SC-Exo had proteins involved in mediating glial function such as apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Collectively, the present study identifies differences in the cargo protein profiles of EC-Exo and SC-Exo, thus providing new molecular insights into their biological functions for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy.

[PMID: 37510519 PMCID: PMC10379067 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11142077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: This study examines the survival of patients after their first presentation with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) to the regional Diabetes, Nutrition, and Metabolic Diseases Clinic within the Emergency Clinical Hospital "Sf. Spiridon", Iaşi, and analyzes the factors associated with this outcome. (2) Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with DFUs consecutively referred between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2017 were followed up until 31 December 2020 (for 13 years). The study group included 659 subjects. (3) Results: During the study period, there were 278 deaths (42.2%) and the average survival time was 9 years. The length of hospitalization, diabetic nephropathy, chronic kidney disease, glomerular filtration rate, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, anemia, and DFU severity were the most significant contributors to the increase in mortality. Patients with severe ulcers, meaning DFUs involving the tendon, joint, or bone, had a higher mortality risk than those with superficial or pre-ulcerative lesions on initial presentation (Texas classification HR = 1.963, 95% CI: 1.063-3.617; Wagner-Meggitt classification HR = 1.889, 95% CI: 1.024-3.417, SINBAD Classification System and Score HR = 2.333, 95% CI: 1.258-4.326) after adjusting for confounding factors. (4) Conclusions: The findings of this study suggested that patients presenting with severe ulcers involving the tendon, joint, or bone exhibited a significantly higher risk of mortality, even when potential confounders were taken into consideration.

Abstract
RATIONALE Sepsis is a syndrome of life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection. Social risk factors including location and poverty are associated with sepsis-related disparities. Understanding the social and biological phenotypes linked with the incidence of sepsis is warranted to identify the most at-risk populations. We aim to examine how factors in disadvantage influence health disparities related to sepsis. METHODS A scoping review was performed for English-language articles published in the United States from 1990 to 2022 on PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Of the 2064 articles found, 139 met eligibility criteria and were included for review. RESULTS There is consistency across the literature of disproportionately higher rates of sepsis incidence, mortality, readmissions, and associated complications, in neighborhoods with socioeconomic disadvantage and significant poverty. Chronic arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus also occur more frequently in the same geographic distribution as sepsis, suggesting a potential shared pathophysiology. CONCLUSIONS The distribution of chronic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, social risk factors associated with socioeconomic disadvantage, and sepsis incidence, are clustered in specific geographical areas and linked by endothelial dysfunction. Such population factors can be utilized to create equitable interventions aimed at mitigating sepsis incidence and sepsis-related disparities.

Abstract
Vascular complications of diabetes pose a severe threat to human health. Prevention and treatment protocols based on a single vascular complication are no longer suitable for the long-term management of patients with diabetes. Diabetic panvascular disease (DPD) is a clinical syndrome in which vessels of various sizes, including macrovessels and microvessels in the cardiac, cerebral, renal, ophthalmic, and peripheral systems of patients with diabetes, develop atherosclerosis as a common pathology. Pathological manifestations of DPDs usually manifest macrovascular atherosclerosis, as well as microvascular endothelial function impairment, basement membrane thickening, and microthrombosis. Cardiac, cerebral, and peripheral microangiopathy coexist with microangiopathy, while renal and retinal are predominantly microangiopathic. The following associations exist between DPDs: numerous similar molecular mechanisms, and risk-predictive relationships between diseases. Aggressive glycemic control combined with early comprehensive vascular intervention is the key to prevention and treatment. In addition to the widely recommended metformin, glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, for the latest molecular mechanisms, aldose reductase inhibitors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonizts, glucokinases agonizts, mitochondrial energy modulators, etc. are under active development. DPDs are proposed for patients to obtain more systematic clinical care requires a comprehensive diabetes care center focusing on panvascular diseases. This would leverage the advantages of a cross-disciplinary approach to achieve better integration of the pathogenesis and therapeutic evidence. Such a strategy would confer more clinical benefits to patients and promote the comprehensive development of DPD as a discipline.

Association of peripheral neuropathy with subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. J Diabetes Complications 2023; 37:108406. [PMID: 36682230 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2023.108406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The impacts of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on clinical manifestations of left ventricular (LV) function in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) lack a full evaluation. This study was carried out to investigate the correlation of peripheral neuropathy with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction, accompanied by the exploration of the relevant clinical features of peripheral neuropathy in these patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted depending on the data of 101 consecutive inpatients with T2DM and preserved LVEF (all ≥ 50 %), without coronary artery disease and other histories of heart disease. All subjects received both a nerve conduction assessment and a speckle-tracking echocardiography examination. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was conducted to assess the subclinical LV systolic function. RESULTS Forty-six (46 %) patients were diagnosed as DPN according to electrophysiological examination and clinical assessment. A significant difference was revealed in GLS between patients with and without DPN (16.5 ± 2.8 vs. 19.3 ± 3.4, p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated GLS as one of the independent determinative factors for DPN (odds ratio, 0.68; P < 0.001). In addition, motor-sensory nerve conduction exhibited a significant positive correlation with GLS, which may not be revealed between the types of peripheral nerve damage. CONCLUSIONS Despite the preserved LVEF, the subclinical LV myocardial dysfunction may have occurred in T2DM patients with DPN. Peripheral nerve conduction was significantly correlated with GLS. An early assessment of nerve conduction may exert a dual warning significance for the progression of subclinical LV dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has become a global health problem, and the number of patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) is rapidly increasing. Currently, DFU still poses great challenges to physicians, as the treatment is complex, with high risks of infection, recurrence, limb amputation, and even death. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of DFU pathogenesis is of great importance. In this review, we summarized recent findings regarding the DFU development from the perspective of single-nucleotide variations (SNVs). Studies have shown that SNVs located in the genes encoding C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, stromal cell-derived factor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor, nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2, sirtuin 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, heat shock protein 70, hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha, lysyl oxidase, intelectin 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, toll-like receptors, osteoprotegerin, vitamin D receptor, and fibrinogen may be associated with the development of DFU. However, considering the limitations of the present investigations, future multi-center studies with larger sample sizes, as well as in-depth mechanistic research are warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peripheral neuropathy is reported in obesity even in the absence of hyperglycaemia. OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence and characterise the phenotype of peripheral neuropathy in people living with obesity (OB) and long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D). PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective cross-sectional study of 130 participants including healthy volunteers (HV) (n = 28), people with T1D (n = 51), and OB (BMI 30-50 kg/m2) (n = 51). Participants underwent assessment of neuropathic symptoms (Neuropathy Symptom Profile, NSP), neurological deficits (Neuropathy Disability Score, NDS), vibration perception threshold (VPT) and evaluation of sural nerve conduction velocity and amplitude. RESULTS Peripheral neuropathy was present in 43.1% of people with T1D (age 49.9 ± 12.9 years; duration of diabetes 23.4 ± 13.5 years) and 33.3% of OB (age 48.2 ± 10.8 years). VPT for high risk of neuropathic foot ulceration (VPT ≥ 25 V) was present in 31.4% of T1D and 19.6% of OB. Participants living with OB were heavier (BMI 42.9 ± 3.5 kg/m2) and had greater centripetal adiposity with an increased body fat percentage (FM%) (P < 0.001) and waist circumference (WC) (P < 0.001) compared to T1D. The OB group had a higher NDS (P < 0.001), VAS for pain (P < 0.001), NSP (P < 0.001), VPT (P < 0.001) and reduced sural nerve conduction velocity (P < 0.001) and amplitude (P < 0.001) compared to HV, but these parameters were comparable in T1D. VPT was positively associated with increased WC (P = 0.011), FM% (P = 0.001) and HbA1c (P < 0.001) after adjusting for age (R2 = 0.547). Subgroup analysis of respiratory quotient (RQ) measured in the OB group did not correlate with VPT (P = 0.788), nerve conduction velocity (P = 0.743) or amplitude (P = 0.677). CONCLUSION The characteristics of peripheral neuropathy were comparable between normoglycaemic people living with obesity and people with long-duration T1D, suggesting that metabolic factors linked to obesity play a pivotal role in the development of peripheral neuropathy. Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanistic link between visceral adiposity and neuropathy.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory syndrome with systemic involvement leading to various cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological comorbidities. It is well known that conditions associated with oxygen deprivation and metabolic disturbance are associated with polyneuropathy, but current data regarding the relationship between COPD and peripheral nervous system pathology is limited. This review summarizes the available data on the association between COPD and polyneuropathy, including possible pathophysiological mechanisms such as the role of hypoxia, proinflammatory state, and smoking in nerve damage; the role of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, as well as the diagnostic methods and screening tools for identifying polyneuropathy. Furthermore, it outlines the available options for managing and preventing polyneuropathy in COPD patients. Overall, current data suggest that optimal screening strategies to diagnose polyneuropathy early should be implemented in COPD patients due to their relatively common association and the additional burden of polyneuropathy on quality of life.

Abstract
Background
Somnipathy and diabetes are independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether a combination of both conditions is associated with a higher risk of CVD events remains uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this meta‐analysis was to clarify this association.
Methods and Results
We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE,
ClinicalTrials.gov
, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials. We included randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized trials, and prospective observational cohort studies that assessed the combined effect of diabetes and comorbid somnipathy on CVD risk and mortality for at least 1 year. Outcomes included CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all‐cause mortality. Twelve studies involving 582 267 participants were included in the meta‐analysis. Patients with somnipathy and comorbid diabetes exhibited increased risks of CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all‐cause mortality (risk ratio [RR], 1.27 [95% CI, 1.12–1.45],
P
<0.0001; RR, 1.40 [95% CI, 1.21–1.62],
P
<0.0001; RR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.08–1.52],
P
=0.004, and RR, 1.56 [95% CI, 1.26–1.94],
P
<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusions
The coexistence of somnipathy and diabetes is associated with higher risks of CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality than somnipathy or diabetes alone. Resolving sleep problems in patients with diabetes may reduce the risks of CVD, stroke, and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular disease, aging and insulin resistance. Despite the debate of causal contribution of CHIP on metabolic diseases, we want to explore whether CHIP is related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). METHODS This study analyzed the prevalence of CHIP in patients with type 2 diabetes classified according to DPN status. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between CHIP and DPN. RESULTS CHIP was more prevalent in subjects without DPN than those with DPN (19.9% vs. 8.8%, respectively; P=0.013). Individuals having any CHIP, or DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) CHIP were less likely to have any abnormality shown in DPN test; the adjusted odds ratio were 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73 to 1.00) and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.56 to 0.89), respectively. Interestingly, DNMT3A CHIP showed the negative association, but Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) CHIP showed the positive association with abnormal feet electrochemical skin conductance level. CONCLUSION On the contrary to expectations, CHIP was negatively associated with DPN. Functional linking between the mutation in hematopoietic cells and DPN, and the opposite role of DNMT3A and TET2 should be investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) is a prevalent chronic complication in patients with diabetes. Using a questionnaire is helpful for DPNP screening in outpatients. In this retrospective cohort, we aimed to examine whether DPNP diagnosed based on scoring questionnaires could predict long-term mortality in outpatients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We enrolled 2318 patients who had joined the diabetes pay-for-performance program and completed the annual assessments, including both the identification pain questionnaire (ID pain) and Douleur Neuropathique en 4 questionnaire (DN4), between January 2013 and October 2013. Information on registered deaths was collected up to August 2019. RESULTS There was high consistency in the scores between the ID pain and DN4 (r = 0.935, P < 0.001). During the median follow-up of 6.2 years (interquartile range: 5.9-6.4 years), 312 patients deceased. Patients with an ID pain score of ≥ 2 had a higher mortality risk than those with a score of < 2 (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.394, 95%CI: 1.090-1.782), and patients with a DN4 score of ≥ 4 had a higher mortality risk than those with a score of < 4 (HR = 1.668, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.211-2.297). Patients consistently diagnosed with DPNP by the ID pain and DN4 had a significantly higher mortality risk (HR = 1.713, 95% CI: 1.223-2.398, P = 0.002), but not those discrepantly diagnosed with DPNP (P = 0.107), as compared with those without DPNP. CONCLUSIONS Both the ID pain and DN4 for DPNP screening were predictive of long-term mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, a discrepancy in the diagnosis of DPNP weakened the power of mortality prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations between serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) and diabetic peripheral neuropatprohy (DPN)/carotid atherosclerotic lesions in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes are still unclear. The purpose of our study was to explore the relations of FT3 to DPN and carotid atherosclerotic lesions in Chinese type 2 diabetes inpatients with euthyroid function. METHODS 2477 euthyroid inpatients with type 2 diabetes were recruited and they were stratified into quartiles by FT3 levels in this cross-sectional study. Peripheral neuropathy was assessed by neurological symptoms and signs as well as nerve conduction velocity tests. Carotid atherosclerotic lesions, including carotid intima-media thickness, plaque and stenosis, were evaluated by Doppler ultrasound. RESULTS The prevalence of DPN in type 2 diabetic patients exhibited the significant decrease across the FT3 quartiles (23.5%, 20.9%, 18.8%, and 11.2%, respectively, p < 0.001). Multiple logistical regression analysis also revealed that FT3 quartiles were significantly and inversely associated with DPN. Compared with the subjects in the highest FT3 quartile, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of DPN from the first to third FT3 quartile were successively 2.338 (1.407-3.884), 1.903 (1.134-3.194) and 1.598 (0.960-1.125). The patients with DPN had significantly higher prevalence of carotid atherosclerotic lesions compared with non-DPN patients. However, no statistical association was observed between FT3 quartiles and carotid atherosclerotic lesions after adjusting for confounder factors. CONCLUSIONS Lower FT3 within the normal range was independently associated with DPN, but not with carotid atherosclerotic lesions in Chinese euthyroid inpatients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy exhibit microvascular dysfunction at rest. However, data regarding their microvascular perfusion during exercise remain scarce. OBJECTIVE This study investigated changes in microvascular perfusion during postexercise recovery in those with type 2 diabetes, with or without peripheral neuropathy, as well as in healthy controls and those with obesity. METHODS Skin blood perfusion was assessed in each group using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and laser speckle contrast imaging before and immediately after a 6-minute walking test. LDF recordings underwent wavelet transformation to allow specific control mechanisms of blood perfusion to be studied (eg, endothelial nitric oxide-independent and -dependent, neurogenic, myogenic, respiratory, and cardiac mechanisms). RESULTS Skin blood perfusion increased after exercise in all groups (22.3 ± 28.1% with laser speckle contrast imaging and 22.1 ± 52.5% with LDF). Throughout postexercise recovery, the decrease was blunted in those with subclinical peripheral neuropathy and confirmed peripheral neuropathy when compared to the other 3 groups. After exercise, total spectral power increased in all groups. The relative contributions of each endothelial band was lower in those with confirmed peripheral neuropathy than in the healthy controls and those with obesity (nitric oxide-dependent function: 23.6 ± 8.9% vs 35.5 ± 5.8% and 29.3 ± 8.8%, respectively; nitric oxide-independent function: 49.1 ± 23.7% vs 53.3 ± 10.4% and 64.6 ± 11.4%, respectively). The neurogenic contribution decreased less in those with confirmed peripheral neuropathy and in those with type 2 diabetes alone, compared to those with subclinical peripheral neuropathy and those with obesity (-14.5 ± 9.9% and -12.2 ± 6.1% vs -26.5 ± 4.7% and -21.7 ± 9.4%, respectively). CONCLUSION Peripheral neuropathy, whatever the stage, altered the microvascular response to exercise via impaired endothelial and neurogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
Chronic venous disease and diabetes mellitus are highly prevalent and debilitating conditions affecting millions of individuals globally. Although these conditions are typically considered as separate entities, they often co-exist which may be important in both understanding their pathophysiology and determining the best treatment strategy. Diabetes mellitus is twice as common in patients with chronic venous disease compared with the general population. Notably, a large proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus present with venous disorders, although this is often overlooked. The etiology of chronic venous disease is multifactorial, involving hemodynamic, genetic, and environmental factors which result in changes to the venous endothelium and structural wall as well as inflammation. Inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and hyperfiltration or leakage, are commonly observed in diabetes mellitus and cause various diabetic microvascular complications. Both diseases are also influenced by the increased expression of adhesion molecules, chemokines, and cytokines, and are characterized by the presence of vessel hypertension. Consequently, despite differences in etiology, the pathophysiology of both chronic venous disease and diabetic microangiopathy appears to be driven by endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Treatment strategies should take the co-existence of chronic venous disease and diabetic microangiopathy into account. Compression therapy is recommended in inflammatory conditions that have an edema component as seen in both chronic venous disease and diabetes mellitus. Lifestyle changes like weight loss and exercise, will improve metabolic state and lower inflammation and should be promoted in these patients. Additionally, both patient populations may benefit from venoactive drugs.

Abstract
Long-term complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) include microvascular complications and macrovascular disease. Despite the important advances in the treatment of T1D of the last decades, these complications still represent the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with T1D. Extensive evidence indicates that structural and functional alterations of the kidney, retina, nerves and large arteries occur already in the first years after the onset of diabetes. We performed a comprehensive review of the available evidence on screening, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of vascular complications of T1D. In particular, we focused on three major challenges related to long-term complications of T1D: 1) finding of new biomarkers and diagnostic methods able to identify early signs of complications; 2) identifying specific risk factors for the development of these complications; 3) identifying and implementing new therapeutic strategies able to prevent the development and progression of vascular complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus associated with high morbidity and mortality. Major risk factors for DPN include metabolic changes, duration of diabetes, nerve ischaemia and derangements in regeneration and nerve repair programmes. Chemokines have been previously implicated in the pathogenesis of various neuropathies and neuropathic pain processes. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the association between the plasma levels of chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11) in the presence of DPN in a cohort of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 73 patients with T2D: 36 with DPN and 37 without DPN. DPN was established through the Semmes-Weinstein test (SW). Plasma levels of circulating chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 were determined using DuoSet ELISA kits (Abingdon, UK). RESULTS We found that levels of CXCL10 were significantly higher in patients with DPN than amongst patients without DPN (57.6 ± 38.3 vs 38.1 ± 33.4 pg/mL, respectively; P = .034). Serum levels of chemokine CXCL9 were also higher amongst patients with DPN but did not reach a statistical significance (188.1 ± 72.7 and 150.4 ± 83.6 pg/mL, respectively, P = .06). CONCLUSIONS Increased circulating levels of CXCL10 were associated with DPN in T2D patients, suggesting a role of this chemokine in the DPN. Determination of CXCL10 levels could be used as a marker for the early detection and implementation of therapeutic strategies in order to reverse and prevent the DPN.

Abstract
We aimed to develop two models to estimate first AMI and stroke/TIA, respectively, in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, by applying backward elimination to the following variables: age, sex, duration of diabetes, smoking, BMI, and use of antihyperglycemic drugs, statins, and aspirin. As time-varying covariates, we analyzed blood pressure, albuminuria, lipid profile, HbA1c, retinopathy, neuropathy, and atrial fibrillation (only in stroke/TIA model). Both models were stratified by antihypertensive drugs. We evaluated 2980 patients (52.8% women; 67.3 ± 11.2 years) with 24,159 person-years of follow-up. We recorded 114 cases of AMI and 185 cases of stroke/TIA. The factors that were independently associated with first AMI were age (≥ 75 years vs. < 75 years) (p = 0.019), higher HbA1c (> 64 mmol/mol vs. < 53 mmol/mol) (p = 0.003), HDL-cholesterol (0.90–1.81 mmol/L vs. < 0.90 mmol/L) (p = 0.002), and diastolic blood pressure (65–85 mmHg vs. < 65 mmHg) (p < 0.001). The factors that were independently associated with first stroke/TIA were age (≥ 75 years vs. < 60 years) (p < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (first year after the diagnosis vs. more than one year) (p = 0.001), glomerular filtration rate (per each 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease) (p < 0.001), total cholesterol (3.88–6.46 mmol/L vs. < 3.88 mmol/L) (p < 0.001), triglycerides (per each increment of 1.13 mmol/L) (p = 0.031), albuminuria (p < 0.001), neuropathy (p = 0.01), and retinopathy (p = 0.023).

Abstract
Objectives Progranulin (PGRN) is a secreted growth factor that helps to regulate
neuronal survival by blocking tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) receptors.
The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is used in diabetic neuropathy to
improve nerve conduction and relieve neuropathic pain, but its effects on
PGRN levels have not yet been elucidated. Methods In this prospective study, 54 patients with type 2 diabetes and peripheral
neuropathy received 600 mg of ALA daily for 6 months. Twenty-four patients
with diabetes without neuropathy were also included in the study. Serum PGRN
and TNFα levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In
addition, current perception threshold (CPT) testing was used to assess
sensory neuropathy. Results After ALA treatment, serum PGRN levels were significantly increased and CPT
values were significantly improved. Furthermore, there were significant
positive correlations among TNFα, ICAM-1, and PGRN levels both before and
after ALA treatment. A significant negative correlation was observed between
the improvements in CPT and the PGRN levels. Furthermore, ICAM-1 levels were
an independent predictor of PGRN levels. Conclusions Changes in serum PGRN levels indicate that ALA treatment may have beneficial
effects on endothelial function and neuronal inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurogenic regulation is involved in the development of microcirculation response to local heating. We suggest that microvascular reactivity can be used to estimate the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prospects for using the parameters of skin microvascular reactivity to determine the severity of DPN. METHODS 26 patients with diabetes mellitus were included in the study (patients with retinopathy (n = 15), and without retinopathy (n = 11)). The severity of DPN was assessed using Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and Norfolk QOL-DN (NQOLDN). Skin microcirculation was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry with local heating test. RESULTS There were revealed moderate negative correlations between microvascular reactivity and the severity of DPN (for MNSI (Rs = -0.430), for NQOLDN (Rs = -0.396)). In patients with retinopathy, correlations were stronger than in the general group (for MNSI (Rs = -0.770) and NQOLDN (Rs = -0.636)). No such correlations were found in patients without retinopathy. CONCLUSION Correlation of the microvascular reactivity and DPN was revealed in patients with registered structural disorders in microvessels (retinopathy). The lack of such correlation in patients without retinopathy may be explained by the intact compensatory mechanisms of microvessels without severe disorders.

Abstract
Uncontrolled diabetes results in several metabolic alterations including hyperglycemia. Indeed, several preclinical and clinical studies have suggested that this condition may induce susceptibility and the development of more aggressive infectious diseases, especially those caused by some bacteria (including Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, among others) and viruses [such as coronavirus 2 (CoV2), Influenza A virus, Hepatitis B, etc.]. Although the precise mechanisms that link glycemia to the exacerbated infections remain elusive, hyperglycemia is known to induce a wide array of changes in the immune system activity, including alterations in: (i) the microenvironment of immune cells (e.g., pH, blood viscosity and other biochemical parameters); (ii) the supply of energy to infectious bacteria; (iii) the inflammatory response; and (iv) oxidative stress as a result of bacterial proliferative metabolism. Consistent with this evidence, some bacterial infections are typical (and/or have a worse prognosis) in patients with hypercaloric diets and a stressful lifestyle (conditions that promote hyperglycemic episodes). On this basis, the present review is particularly focused on: (i) the role of diabetes in the development of some bacterial and viral infections by analyzing preclinical and clinical findings; (ii) discussing the possible mechanisms by which hyperglycemia may increase the susceptibility for developing infections; and (iii) further understanding the impact of hyperglycemia on the immune system.

Abstract
This review takes an inclusive approach to microvascular dysfunction in diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic disease. In virtually every organ, dynamic interactions between the microvasculature and resident tissue elements normally modulate vascular and tissue function in a homeostatic fashion. This regulation is disordered by diabetes mellitus, by hypertension, by obesity, and by dyslipidemia individually (or combined in cardiometabolic disease), with dysfunction serving as an early marker of change. In particular, we suggest that the familiar retinal, renal, and neural complications of diabetes mellitus are late-stage manifestations of microvascular injury that begins years earlier and is often abetted by other cardiometabolic disease elements (eg, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia). We focus on evidence that microvascular dysfunction precedes anatomic microvascular disease in these organs as well as in heart, muscle, and brain. We suggest that early on, diabetes mellitus and/or cardiometabolic disease can each cause reversible microvascular injury with accompanying dysfunction, which in time may or may not become irreversible and anatomically identifiable disease (eg, vascular basement membrane thickening, capillary rarefaction, pericyte loss, etc.). Consequences can include the familiar vision loss, renal insufficiency, and neuropathy, but also heart failure, sarcopenia, cognitive impairment, and escalating metabolic dysfunction. Our understanding of normal microvascular function and early dysfunction is rapidly evolving, aided by innovative genetic and imaging tools. This is leading, in tissues like the retina, to testing novel preventive interventions at early, reversible stages of microvascular injury. Great hope lies in the possibility that some of these interventions may develop into effective therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) as suggested in various cross-sectional studies. However, more convincing prospective studies in diabetes patients are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether proinflammatory cytokines could predict the incidence of DPN through a prospective study with a five-year follow-up. METHODS We followed up 315 patients with diabetes who did not have DPN, recruited from five community health centers in Shanghai in 2014, for an average of 5.06 years. Based on the integrity of blood samples, 106 patients were selected to obtain the proinflammatory cytokines. Plasma markers of proinflammatory cytokines at baseline included interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). Neuropathy was assessed by MSNI at baseline and during follow-up. FINDINGS Among the 106 chosen patients, 63 developed DPN after 5.06±1.14 years of follow-up. The baseline plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and ICAM-1 were higher in the neuropathic group (p<0.05). In multivariate models, increased plasma levels of TNF-α (hazard ratio, HR: 8.74 [95% confidence interval, CI: 1.05-72.68]; p <0.05) and ICAM-1 (HR 23.74 [95% CI:1.47-383.81]; p<0.05) were both associated with incident DPN, after adjusting for known DPN risk factors. INTERPRETATION Increased plasma levels of proinflammatory factors, especially TNF-α and ICAM-1, predicted the incidence of DPN over 5 years in Chinese diabetes patients, but larger longitudinal studies are required for confirmation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex condition and serious health problem, with growing occurrence of DM-associated complications occurring globally. Persistent hyperglycemia is confirmed as promoting neurovascular dysfunction leading to irreversible endothelial cell dysfunction, increased neuronal cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation. These collaboratively and individually result in micro- and macroangiopathy as well as neuropathy demonstrated by progressive neuronal loss. Recently, major efforts have been pursued to select not only useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, but also novel therapeutic approaches. Both microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) belong to a class of non-coding RNAs identified in most of the body fluids i.e., peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue and neurons. Numerous miRNAs, lncRNAs and their target genes are able to modulate signaling pathways known to play a role in the pathophysiology of progressive neuronal dysfunction. Therefore, they pose as promising biomarkers and treatment for the vast majority of neurodegenerative disorders. This review provides an overall assessment of both miRNAs' and lncRNAs' utility in decelerating progressive nervous system impairment, including neurodegeneration in diabetic pathways.

Effects of DA-9801 on the inflammation and apoptosis induced by angiotensin II in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells. J Pharmacol Sci 2020; 145:52-59.

Abstract
DA-9801, a plant-based drug used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, is known to improve angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular endothelial cell dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. We aimed to determine whether the protective effect of DA-9801 against Ang II-induced endothelial cell dysfunction was mediated via inhibition of endothelial cell inflammation and apoptosis. Ang II-induced oxidative stress was attenuated by pretreatment of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) with DA-9801. This prevented the Ang II-induced upregulation of NAD(P)H oxidase (the NOX4 and p22phox subunits) and reactive oxygen species. Further, pretreatment of HDMECs with DA-9801 ameliorated Ang II-mediated nuclear factor kappa B activity via prevention of the upregulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. It also decreased the Ang II-stimulated increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and decreased endothelial NOS protein expression. DA-9801 decreased Ang II-induced upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule 1, vascular adhesion molecule, and E-selectin in HDMECs. Moreover, TUNEL and annexin V-FITC fluorescence staining for apoptosis and the activities of caspases 9, 7, and 3 decreased in HDMECs pretreated with DA-9801, indicating that the drug enhanced anti-apoptotic pathways. Thus, DA-9801 modulated Ang II-induced endothelial cell dysfunction via inflammatory and apoptotic pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) and neuropathic pain are important clinical concerns in virally suppressed people with HIV. We determined how these conditions evolved, what factors influenced their evolution, and their clinical impact. METHODS Ambulatory, community-dwelling HIV seropositive individuals were recruited at six research centers. Clinical evaluations at baseline and 12 years later determined neuropathy signs and distal neuropathic pain (DNP). Additional assessments measured activities of daily living and quality of life (QOL). Factors potentially associated with DSP and DNP progression included disease severity, treatment, demographics, and co-morbidities. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated for follow-up neuropathy outcomes. RESULTS Of 254 participants, 21.3% were women, 57.5% were non-white. Mean baseline age was 43.5 years. Polyneuropathy prevalence increased from 25.7% to 43.7%. Of 173 participants initially pain-free, 42 (24.3%) had incident neuropathic pain. Baseline risk factors for incident pain included unemployment (OR [95% CI], 5.86 [1.97, 17.4]) and higher baseline body mass index (BMI) (1.78 [1.03, 3.19] per 10-units). Participants with neuropathic pain at follow-up had significantly worse QOL and greater dependence in activities of daily living than those who remained pain-free. INTERPRETATION HIV DSP and neuropathic pain increased in prevalence and severity over 12 years despite high rates of viral suppression. The high burden of neuropathy included disability and poor life quality. However, substantial numbers remained pain-free despite clear evidence of neuropathy on exam. Protective factors included being employed and having a lower BMI. Implications for clinical practice include promotion of lifestyle changes affecting reversible risk factors.

Abstract
Endocrinopathic laminitis is pathologically similar to the multi-organ dysfunction and peripheral neuropathy found in human patients with metabolic syndrome. Similarly, endocrinopathic laminitis has been shown to partially result from vascular dysfunction. However, despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of this disease is not well elucidated and laminitis remains without an effective treatment. Here, we sought to identify novel proteins and pathways underlying the development of equine endocrinopathic laminitis. Healthy Standardbred horses (n = 4/group) were either given an electrolyte infusion, or a 48-h euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Cardiac and lamellar tissues were analyzed by mass spectrometry (FDR = 0.05). All hyperinsulinemic horses developed laminitis despite being previously healthy. We identified 514 and 709 unique proteins in the cardiac and lamellar proteomes, respectively. In the lamellar tissue, we identified 14 proteins for which their abundance was significantly increased and 13 proteins which were significantly decreased in the hyperinsulinemic group as compared to controls. These results were confirmed via real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR. A STRING analysis of protein-protein interactions revealed that these increased proteins were primarily involved in coagulation and complement cascades, platelet activity, and ribosomal function, while decreased proteins were involved in focal adhesions, spliceosomes, and cell-cell matrices. Novel significant differentially expressed proteins associated with hyperinsulinemia-induced laminitis include talin−1, vinculin, cadherin-13, fibrinogen, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and heat shock protein 90. In contrast, no proteins were found to be significantly differentially expressed in the heart of hyperinsulinemic horses compared to controls. Together, these data indicate that while hyperinsulinemia induced, in part, microvascular damage, complement activation, and ribosomal dysfunction in the lamellae, a similar effect was not seen in the heart. In brief, this proteomic investigation of a unique equine model of hyperinsulinemia identified novel proteins and signaling pathways, which may lead to the discovery of molecular biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for endocrinopathic laminitis.

Short-term very low caloric intake causes endothelial dysfunction and increased susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias and pathology in male rats. Exp Physiol 2020; 105:1172-1184.

Abstract
New Findings What is the central question of this study? What are the effects of a 2 week period of severe food restriction on vascular reactivity of resistance arteries and on cardiac structure and function? What is the main finding and its importance? This study showed, for the first time, that a 2 week period of severe food restriction in adult male Fischer rats caused endothelial dysfunction in mesenteric arteries and increased the susceptibility to ischaemia–reperfusion‐induced arrhythmias and cardiac pathology. Our findings might have ramifications for cardiovascular risk in people who experience periods of inadequate caloric intake.
Abstract Severe food restriction (sFR) is a common dieting strategy for rapid weight loss. Male Fischer rats were maintained on a control (CT) or sFR (40% of CT food intake) diet for 14 days to mimic low‐calorie crash diets. The sFR diet reduced body weight by 16%. Haematocrits were elevated by 10% in the sFR rats, which was consistent with the reduced plasma volume. Mesenteric arteries from sFR rats had increased sensitivity to vasoconstrictors, including angiotensin II [maximum (%): CT, 1.30 ± 0.46 versus sFR, 11.5 ± 1.6; P < 0.0001; n = 7] and phenylephrine [maximum (%): CT, 78.5 ± 2.8 versus sFR, 94.5 ± 1.7; P < 0.001; n = 7] and reduced sensitivity to the vasodilator acetylcholine [EC50 (nm): CT, 49.2 ± 5.2 versus sFR, 71.6 ± 6.8; P < 0.05; n = 7]. Isolated hearts from sFR rats had a 1.7‐fold increase in the rate of cardiac arrhythmias in response to ischaemia–reperfusion and more cardiac pathology, including myofibrillar disarray with contractions and cardiomyocyte lysis, than hearts from CT rats. The sFR dietary regimen is similar to very low‐calorie commercial and self‐help weight‐loss programmes, which provide ∼800–1000 kcal day−1. Therefore, these findings in rats warrant the study of cardiovascular function in individuals who engage in extreme dieting or are subjected to bouts of very low caloric intake for other reasons, such as socioeconomic factors and natural disasters.

Curr Med Chem 2020; 27:1089-1131. [PMID: 30663560 DOI: 10.2174/0929867326666190119154152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2018] [Revised: 12/28/2018] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Endothelium plays an essential role in human homeostasis by regulating arterial blood pressure, distributing nutrients and hormones as well as providing a smooth surface that modulates coagulation, fibrinolysis and inflammation. Endothelial dysfunction is present in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and contributes to the development and progression of macrovascular disease, while it is also associated with most of the microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia are the main factors involved in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction. Regarding antidiabetic medication, metformin, gliclazide, pioglitazone, exenatide and dapagliflozin exert a beneficial effect on Endothelial Function (EF); glimepiride and glibenclamide, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and liraglutide have a neutral effect, while studies examining the effect of insulin analogues, empagliflozin and canagliflozin on EF are limited. In terms of lipid-lowering medication, statins improve EF in subjects with DM, while data from short-term trials suggest that fenofibrate improves EF; ezetimibe also improves EF but further studies are required in people with DM. The effect of acetylsalicylic acid on EF is dose-dependent and lower doses improve EF while higher ones do not. Clopidogrel improves EF, but more studies in subjects with DM are required. Furthermore, angiotensin- converting-enzyme inhibitors /angiotensin II receptor blockers improve EF. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors improve EF locally in the corpus cavernosum. Finally, cilostazol exerts favorable effect on EF, nevertheless, more data in people with DM are required.

Abstract
Menthol is a monoterpene alcohol, widely used in several food and healthcare products for its particular odor and flavor. For some decades, menthol has been known to act on the vasculature directly in the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle, with recent studies showing that it also evokes an indirect vascular response via sensory fibers. The mechanisms underlying menthol's vascular action are complex due to the diversity of cellular targets, to the interplay between signaling pathways and to the variability in terms of response. Menthol can evoke either a perfusion increase or decrease in vivo in different vascular territories, an observation that warrants a critical discussion. Menthol vascular actions in vivo seem to depend on whether the vascular territory under analysis has been directly provoked with menthol or is located deep/distant to the application site. Menthol increases perfusion of directly provoked skin regions due to a complex interplay of increased nitric oxide (NO), endothelium-derived hyperpolarization factors (EDHFs) and sensory nerve responses. In non-provoked vascular beds menthol decreases perfusion which might be attributed to heat-conservation sympathetically-mediated vasoconstriction, although an increase in tissue evaporative heat loss due the formulation ethanol may also play a role. There is increasing evidence that several of menthol's cellular targets are involved in cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension. Thus menthol and pharmacologically-similar drugs can play important preventive and therapeutic roles, which merits further investigation.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to explore the association between intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) polymorphisms (rs5498 and rs3093030) and diabetic foot (DF) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.128 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with DF, 147 T2DM patients without DF, and 155 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. ICAM1 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The genotypes and alleles of the polymorphisms were compared by χ test between the 2 groups. Association between ICAM1 polymorphisms and DF susceptibility was expressed through odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Effects of ICAM1 polymorphisms on DF clinical characteristics were analyzed by t test.GG genotype of rs5498 polymorphism was distinctly correlated with decreased T2DM risk (OR = 0.369, 95%CI = 0.152-0.895) and reduced susceptibility to DF among healthy controls (OR = 0.316, 95%CI = 0.119-0.837). Similar results were discovered between rs5498 G allele and decreased risk of T2DM (OR = 0.676, 95%CI = 0.475-0.963) and DF (OR = 0.656, 95%CI = 0.453-0.950) among healthy controls. Individuals carrying rs3093030 T allele had low susceptibility to DF developed from T2DM (OR = 0.634, 95%CI = 0.412-0.974). DF patients carrying rs5498 AA genotype had significantly higher serum creatinine levels than GG genotype carriers (P = .003).ICAM1 rs3093030 polymorphism may act as a protective factor against DF developed from T2DM, moreover, rs5498 may be involved in onset of T2DM.Clinical trial number: ChiCTR-INR-18010231.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a frequent and severe complication of diabetes. As Matrix-gla-protein (MGP) is expressed in several components of the nervous system and is involved in some neurological disease, MGP could play a role in peripheral nervous system homeostasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors associated with sensitive diabetic neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetes, and, in particular, dephospho-uncarboxylated MGP (dp-ucMGP), the inactive form of MGP. METHODS 198 patients with Type 2 Diabetes were included. Presence of sensitive diabetic neuropathy was defined by a neuropathy disability score (NDS) ≥6. Plasma levels of dp-ucMGP were measured by ELISA. RESULTS In this cohort, the mean age was 64+/-8.4 years old, and 80% of patients were men. Peripheral neuropathy was present in 15.7% of the patients and was significantly associated (r = 0.51, p<0.0001) with dp-ucMGP levels (β = -0.26, p = 0.045) after integrating effects of height (β = -0.38, p = 0.01), insulin treatment (β = 0.42, p = 0.002), retinopathy treated by laser (β = 0.26, p = 0.02), and total cholesterol levels (β = 0.3, p = 0.03) by multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS The association between diabetic neuropathy and the inactive form of MGP suggests the existence of new pathophysiological pathways to explore. Further studies are needed to determine if dp-ucMGP may be used as a biomarker of sensitive neuropathy. Since dp-ucMGP is a marker of poor vitamin K status, clinical studies are warranted to explore the potential protective effect of high vitamin K intake on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a key event in the onset and progression of vascular complications associated with diabetes. Regulation of endothelial function and the underlying signaling mechanisms in the progression of diabetes-induced vascular complications have been well established. Recent studies indicate that increased oxidative stress is an important determinant of endothelial injury and patients with hypertension display ED mediated by impaired Nitric Oxide (NO) availability. Further, oxidative stress is known to be associated with inflammation and ED in vascular remodeling and diabetes-associated hypertension. Numerous strategies have been developed to improve the function of endothelial cells and increasing number of evidences highlight the indispensable role of antioxidants in modulation of endothelium-dependent vasodilation responses. Nuclear factor Erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), is the principal transcriptional regulator, that is central in mediating oxidative stress signal response. Having unequivocally established the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and oxidative stress, the pivotal role of Nrf2/Keap1/ARE network, has taken the center stage as target for developing therapies towards maintaining the cellular redox environment. Several activators of Nrf2 are known to combat diabetes-induced ED and few are currently in clinical trials. Focusing on their therapeutic value in diabetes-induced ED, this review highlights some natural and synthetic molecules that are involved in the modulation of the Nrf2/Keap1/ARE network and its underlying molecular mechanisms in the regulation of ED. Further emphasis is also laid on the therapeutic benefits of directly up-regulating Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defences in regulating endothelial redox homeostasis for countering diabetes-induced ED.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a highly prevalent condition with serious sequelae. Many studies of the condition have been restricted to populations with diabetes, limiting evidence of potential contributing risk factors including salient psychosocial risk factors such as discrimination. METHODS The longitudinal Study of Women's Health Across the Nation was used to assess the relationship between perceived discrimination and prevalent PN in 1718 ethnically diverse midlife women. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine the association between perceived discrimination (Detroit Area Study Everyday Discrimination Scale) and PN (symptom questionnaire and monofilament testing) and conducted an assessment of the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI). RESULTS The prevalence of PN was 26.1% in the total sample and 40.9% among women with diabetes. Women who reported perceived discrimination had 29% higher odds of PN compared with women who did not report perceived discrimination (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.66). Approximately 30% of the total effect of discrimination on PN was mediated indirectly by BMI. CONCLUSIONS More research is needed to determine the contributing factors to nondiabetic PN. Our findings reaffirm the impact of financial strain, BMI, and diabetes as significant correlates of PN and highlight discrimination as an important risk factor.

Abstract
Diabetic foot is a macrovascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). In the literature, the relationship between diabetic foot and another macrovascular complication of DM is not clear. The aim of this study was to determine the current left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with diabetic foot and to investigate the effect of diabetic foot treatment on LV systolic functions.In this study, 54 patients with diabetic foot and 22 patients without diabetic foot were included. Routine anamnesis, physical examination, echocardiography, and laboratory examinations were performed. In addition, LV global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) was measured by strain echocardiography technique. LV ejection fraction (LV-EF) and LV-GLS measurements were repeated with echocardiography at the 3rd month of diabetic foot treatment.The incidence of cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and coronary artery disease was found to be higher in patients with diabetic foot. (P < .05 for each one). Similarly, in patients with diabetic foot, glucose, Hemoglobin A1c, neutrophil, sedimentation, urea, creatinine, potassium, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, C-reactive protein, and brain natriuretic protein were higher; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was found to be significantly lower. LV wall thicknesses and diameters were higher and LV-EF was lower in patients with diabetic foot (P < .05 each one). LV-GLS values were significantly lower in patients with diabetic foot (P < .05). Although no significant change was found in the LV-EF value at the 3rd-month follow-up echocardiography (48.6% ± 7.0% vs 48.5% ± 5.9% and P = .747), it was detected that LV-GLS values (17.3 ± 2.1 vs 18.4 ± 2.3) were significantly increased (P < .001).LV systolic function was significantly affected in patients with diabetic foot. This may be related to the increased frequency of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients. However, the significant improvement in LV-GLS values after the diabetic foot treatment showed that diabetic foot itself was an important cause of LV systolic dysfunction.

Rivaroxaban, a specific FXa inhibitor, improved endothelium-dependent relaxation of aortic segments in diabetic mice. Sci Rep 2019; 9:11206. [PMID: 31371788 PMCID: PMC6672013 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-47474-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 07/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Activated factor X (FXa) plays a central role in the coagulation cascade, while it also mediates vascular function through activation of protease-activated receptors (PARs). Here, we examined whether inhibition of FXa by rivaroxaban, a direct FXa inhibitor, attenuates endothelial dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Induction of diabetes increased the expression of a major FXa receptor, PAR2, in the aorta (P < 0.05). Administration of rivaroxaban (10 mg/kg/day) to diabetic wild-type (WT) mice for 3 weeks attenuated endothelial dysfunction as determined by acetylcholine-dependent vasodilation compared with the control (P < 0.001), without alteration of blood glucose level. Rivaroxaban promoted eNOSSer1177 phosphorylation in the aorta (P < 0.001). Induction of diabetes to PAR2-deficient (PAR2−/−) mice did not affect endothelial function and eNOSSer1177 phosphorylation in the aorta compared with non-diabetic PAR2−/− mice. FXa or a PAR2 agonist significantly impaired endothelial function in aortic rings obtained from WT mice, but not in those from PAR2−/− mice. FXa promoted JNK phosphorylation (P < 0.01) and reduced eNOSSer1177 phosphorylation (P < 0.05) in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC). FXa-induced endothelial dysfunction in aortic rings (P < 0.001) and eNOSSer1177 phosphorylation (P < 0.05) in HCAEC were partially ameliorated by a JNK inhibitor. Rivaroxaban ameliorated diabetes-induced endothelial dysfunction. Our results suggest that FXa or PAR2 is a potential therapeutic target.

PLoS One 2019; 14:e0220175. [PMID: 31356602 PMCID: PMC6662998 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0220175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2018] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to investigate the major determinants of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), considering the traditional and newly discovered risk factors, including hypoglycaemia and glycemic variability. METHODS This retrospective case-control study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Taiwan. A total of 2,837 patients with T2D were recruited, medical history and biochemical data were obtained, and patients were screened for DPN using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). DPN was defined as an MNSI exam score > 2. A stepwise selection of variables was used based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Schwarz Criterion (SC). Multivariate analysis was performed using the identified variables obtained from the stepwise selection. RESULTS Among the recruited patients, 604 (21.3%) were found to have DPN. 275 patients with DPN were selected because of longer follow up period before enrollment and complete data of glycemic parameters, and paired with 351 patients with T2D without DPN and matched for age, gender, and diabetes duration. The results of the stepwise selection showed that the presence of moderately and severely increased albuminuria yielded the lowest values of AIC and SC, which indicate the best predictive performance. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that moderately and severely increased albuminuria and greater long-term glycemic variability significantly increased the risk of DPN, with a corresponding odds ratio of 1.85 and 1.61 (95%confidence intervals of 1.25-2.73and1.02-2.55, respectively), after adjusted for hypoglycaemia and types of diabetes treatment. CONCLUSIONS Albuminuria is a potent predictor of DPN, and greater long-term glycemic variabilityis clearly associated with DPN in adults with T2D. These findings indicate that, in addition to achieve average blood glucose control, screening for albuminuria and reducing blood glucose fluctuations might be useful for improving diabetic microvascular complications.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess, for the first time, the change in vascular reactivity across the full spectrum of cardiometabolic health. Systematic searches were conducted in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from their inception to March 13, 2017, including studies that assessed basal vascular reactivity in two or more of the following health groups (aged ≥18 years old): healthy, overweight, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes with or without complications. Direct and indirect comparisons of vascular reactivity were combined using a network meta-analysis. Comparing data from 193 articles (7226 healthy subjects and 19344 patients), the network meta-analyses revealed a progressive impairment in vascular reactivity (flow-mediated dilation data) from the clinical onset of an overweight status (-0.41%, 95% CI, -0.98 to 0.15) through to the development of vascular complications in those with type 2 diabetes (-4.26%, 95% CI, -4.97 to -3.54). Meta-regressions revealed that for every 1 mmol/l increase in fasting blood glucose concentration, flow-mediated dilation decreased by 0.52%. Acknowledging that the time course of disease may vary between patients, this study demonstrates multiple continuums of vascular dysfunction where the severity of impairment in vascular reactivity progressively increases throughout the pathogenesis of obesity and/or insulin resistance, providing information that is important to enhancing the timing and effectiveness of strategies that aim to improve cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy, with its major clinical sequels, notably neuropathic pain, foot ulcers, and autonomic dysfunction, is associated with substantial morbidity, increased risk of mortality, and reduced quality of life. Despite its major clinical impact, diabetic neuropathy remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Moreover, the evidence supporting a benefit for causal treatment is weak at least in patients with type 2 diabetes, and current pharmacotherapy is largely limited to symptomatic treatment options. Thus, a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is mandatory for translation into new diagnostic and treatment approaches. Improved knowledge about pathogenic pathways implicated in the development of diabetic neuropathy could lead to novel diagnostic techniques that have the potential of improving the early detection of neuropathy in diabetes and prediabetes to eventually embark on new treatment strategies. In this review, we first provide an overview on the current clinical aspects and illustrate the pathogenetic concepts of (pre)diabetic neuropathy. We then describe the biomarkers emerging from these concepts and novel diagnostic tools and appraise their utility in the early detection and prediction of predominantly distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Finally, we discuss the evidence for and limitations of the current and novel therapy options with particular emphasis on lifestyle modification and pathogenesis-derived treatment approaches. Altogether, recent years have brought forth a multitude of emerging biomarkers reflecting different pathogenic pathways such as oxidative stress and inflammation and diagnostic tools for an early detection and prediction of (pre)diabetic neuropathy. Ultimately, these insights should culminate in improving our therapeutic armamentarium against this common and debilitating or even life-threatening condition.
