Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA gene expression pathways in monocytes of type 2 diabetes patients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:196. [PMID: 38849833 PMCID: PMC11161966 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02292-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocytes play a central role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients through different mechanisms. We investigated diabetes-induced changes in lncRNA genes from T2D patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), long-duration diabetes, and poor glycemic control. METHODS We performed paired-end RNA sequencing of monocytes from 37 non-diabetes controls and 120 patients with T2D, of whom 86 had either macro or microvascular disease or both. Monocytes were sorted from peripheral blood using flow cytometry; their RNA was purified and sequenced. Alignments and gene counts were obtained with STAR to reference GRCh38 using Gencode (v41) annotations followed by batch correction with CombatSeq. Differential expression analysis was performed with EdgeR and pathway analysis with IPA software focusing on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a p-value < 0.05. Additionally, differential co-expression analysis was done with csdR to identify lncRNAs highly associated with diabetes-related expression networks with network centrality scores computed with Igraph and network visualization with Cytoscape. RESULTS Comparing T2D vs. non-T2D, we found two significantly upregulated lncRNAs (ENSG00000287255, FDR = 0.017 and ENSG00000289424, FDR = 0.048) and one significantly downregulated lncRNA (ENSG00000276603, FDR = 0.017). Pathway analysis on DEGs revealed networks affecting cellular movement, growth, and development. Co-expression analysis revealed ENSG00000225822 (UBXN7-AS1) as the highest-scoring diabetes network-associated lncRNA. Analysis within T2D patients and CVD revealed one lncRNA upregulated in monocytes from patients with microvascular disease without clinically documented macrovascular disease. (ENSG00000261654, FDR = 0.046). Pathway analysis revealed DEGs involved in networks affecting metabolic and cardiovascular pathologies. Co-expression analysis identified lncRNAs strongly associated with diabetes networks, including ENSG0000028654, ENSG00000261326 (LINC01355), ENSG00000260135 (MMP2-AS1), ENSG00000262097, and ENSG00000241560 (ZBTB20-AS1) when we combined the results from all patients with CVD. Similarly, we identified from co-expression analysis of diabetes patients with a duration ≥ 10 years vs. <10 years two lncRNAs: ENSG00000269019 (HOMER3-AS10) and ENSG00000212719 (LINC02693). The comparison of patients with good vs. poor glycemic control also identified two lncRNAs: ENSG00000245164 (LINC00861) and ENSG00000286313. CONCLUSION We identified dysregulated diabetes-related genes and pathways in monocytes of diabetes patients with cardiovascular complications, including lncRNA genes of unknown function strongly associated with networks of known diabetes genes.

Abstract
The coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and sickle cell anemia (SCA) poses significant challenges in clinical management due to the complex interactions and overlapping complications associated with both conditions. Managing diabetes in individuals with SCA requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique physiological and pathological aspects of both diseases. This paper reviews the challenges encountered in the management of DM in patients with SCA and explores therapeutic strategies and approaches to optimize patient care. Challenges in the management of DM in individuals with SCA stem from several factors, including the impact of hemoglobin variants on glycemic control assessment, increased susceptibility to infections, altered immune response, and complications associated with both diseases. Moreover, the coexistence of SCA and DM heightens the susceptibility to infections due to compromised immune function, emphasizing the need for vigilant preventive measures, including vaccinations and close monitoring for infectious complications. Close collaboration among healthcare providers specializing in diabetes, hematology, and other relevant fields is crucial for developing comprehensive care plans. Individualized treatment strategies that balance glycemic control, pain management, and preventive care are essential to mitigate complications and optimize the overall health outcomes of patients with both DM and SCA. In conclusion, managing diabetes in the context of SCA necessitates a nuanced and patient-centered approach. By addressing the challenges and employing tailored therapeutic strategies, healthcare providers can improve the quality of life and health outcomes for individuals affected by both conditions.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs), traditionally recognized for their oxygen transport role, have garnered increasing attention for their significance as crucial contributors to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus. In this comprehensive review, we elucidate the multifaceted roles of RBCs as both biomarkers and mediators in diabetes mellitus. Amidst the intricate interplay of altered metabolic pathways and the diabetic milieu, RBCs manifest distinct alterations in their structure, function, and lifespan. The chronic exposure to hyperglycemia induces oxidative stress, leading to modifications in RBC physiology and membrane integrity. These modifications, including glycation of hemoglobin (HbA1c), establish RBCs as invaluable biomarkers for assessing glycemic control over extended periods. Moreover, RBCs serve as mediators in the progression of diabetic complications. Their involvement in vascular dysfunction, hemorheological changes, and inflammatory pathways contributes significantly to diabetic microangiopathy and associated complications. Exploring the therapeutic implications, this review addresses potential interventions targeting RBC abnormalities to ameliorate diabetic complications. In conclusion, comprehending the nuanced roles of RBCs as biomarkers and mediators in diabetes mellitus offers promising avenues for enhanced diagnostic precision, therapeutic interventions, and improved patient outcomes. This review consolidates the current understanding and emphasizes the imperative need for further research to harness the full potential of RBC-related insights in the realm of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Changes in immunocompetent cells influence the course of diabetes mellitus and contribute to its complications. Thus, correction of diabetes-induced immune system disorders is vital for normalizing the state of the organism. Red wine polyphenols due to their biological activities could be considered a potential remedy for correcting diabetes. The study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial potential and the influence of red wine polyphenols on immune system in streptozotocin-induced diabetes. We studied immunological parameters, i.e. quantity of white blood cells in peripheral blood and peritoneal macrophages, the bactericidal activity of phagocytes of blood, the activity of myeloperoxidase, and the level of cationic proteins in these cells after the administration of the polyphenol-rich red wine concentrate (PC concentrate) of known composition, obtained from Ukrainian wine, for 14th day to rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the PC concentrate was determined with the Broth Microdilution method. The PC concentrate normalized the quantity and functional activity of peripheral blood neutrophils and peritoneal macrophages, and decreased the quantity of lymphocytes under diabetes, as well as possessed the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Our results indicate the significant biological potential of the PC concentrate and its therapeutic relevance to correct diabetes-induced disorders.

Abstract
The solute carrier family 4 (SLC4) is an important protein responsible for the transport of various ions across the cell membrane and mediating diverse physiological functions, such as the ion transporting function, protein-to-protein interactions, and molecular transduction. The deficiencies in SLC4 molecules may cause multisystem disease involving, particularly, the respiratory system, digestive, urinary, endocrine, hematopoietic, and central nervous systems. Currently, there are no effective strategies to treat these diseases. SLC4 proteins are also found to contribute to tumorigenesis and development, and some of them are regarded as therapeutic targets in quite a few clinical trials. This indicates that SLC4 proteins have potential clinical prospects. In view of their functional characteristics, there is a critical need to review the specific functions of bicarbonate transporters, their related diseases, and the involved pathological mechanisms. We summarize the diseases caused by the mutations in SLC4 family genes and briefly introduce the clinical manifestations of these diseases as well as the current treatment strategies. Additionally, we illustrate their roles in terms of the physiology and pathogenesis that has been currently researched, which might be the future therapeutic and diagnostic targets of diseases and a new direction for drug research and development.

Neuromodulatory effect of the combination of metformin and vitamin D 3 triggered by purinergic signaling in type 1 diabetes induced-rats. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2023; 563:111852.

Abstract
Several studies have indicated the vitamin D deficiency in the development of macro- and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) including DM-related cognitive dysfunction. The purinergic system plays an important role in the modulation of a variety of mechanisms, including neuroinflammation, plasticity, and cell-cell communication. In addition, purines, their receptors, and enzymes can regulate the purinergic axis at different levels in type 1 DM (T1DM). This study evaluated the effects of vitamin D3 alone or in combination with metformin in the behavioral performance of streptozotocin-induced T1DM rats. The effects of this combination on the metabolism of ATP and ADP were also studied by NTPDase (CD39), AMP by 5'-nucleotidase (CD73), and adenosine by adenosine deaminase (E-ADA) in the brain and peripheral lymphocytes of type 1 diabetic STZ-induced rats. The results showed that anxiety and memory loss from the DM condition reverted after 30 days of vitamin D3 treatment. Furthermore, the DM state affected systemic enzymes, with no effect on the central enzymes hydrolyzing extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. Vitamin D3 treatment positively regulated ectonucleotidase (NTPDase and 5'-nucleotidase) activity, E-ADA, and the purinergic receptors as a mechanism to prevent oxidative damage in the cerebral cortex of T1DM rats. A neuroprotector effect of vitamin D3 through adenosine signaling was also observed, by regulating A1 and A2A receptors proteins levels. The present findings suggest that purinergic signaling through vitamin D3 modulation may be a novel alternative strategy for T1DM treatment, and may compensate for the negative changes in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcerations have devastating complications, including amputations, poor quality of life, and life-threatening infections. Diabetic wounds can be protracted, take significant time to heal, and can recur after healing. They are costly consuming health care resources. These consequences have serious public health and clinical implications. Debridement is often used as a standard of care. Debridement consists of both nonmechanical (autolytic, enzymatic) and mechanical methods (sharp/surgical, wet to dry debridement, aqueous high-pressure lavage, ultrasound, and biosurgery/maggot debridement therapy). It is used to remove nonviable tissue, to facilitate wound healing, and help prevent these serious outcomes. What are the various forms and rationale behind debridement? This article comprehensively reviews cutting-edge methods and the science behind debridement and diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrinopathy in dogs that has been associated with various biochemical changes and comorbid diseases, but hematologic abnormalities have been rarely reported. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate complete blood count and blood smear alterations and to describe their relationship with, and incidence of comorbid diseases in, diabetic dogs. Three-hundred twelve diabetic dogs, 286 dogs diagnosed with systemic, nondiabetic illnesses, and 506 healthy dogs were identified during the study period. Groups were compared using contingency tables and logistic regression. Associations between statistically significant complete blood count and blood smear alterations and comorbidities were evaluated using multivariable analysis. High-grade codocytosis and anisocytosis were identified more frequently in diabetic dogs, whereas high-grade reactive lymphocytosis and keratocytosis were identified less frequently (P < .001). Diabetic dogs with high-grade codocytosis had lower red blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit and higher white blood cell counts (P < .001). Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed more frequently in diabetic dogs with high-grade codocytosis when compared with those with low-grade codocytosis (P < .001) or when compared with any other cell morphologic alterations. This study suggests that blood smear analysis should be a routine part of the evaluation of diabetic dogs.

Abstract
Bicarbonate is one of the major anions in mammalian tissues and fluids, is utilized by various exchangers to transport other ions and organic substrates across cell membranes and plays a critical role in cell and systemic pH homoeostasis. Chloride/bicarbonate (Cl−/HCO3−) exchangers are abundantly expressed in erythrocytes and epithelial cells and, as a consequence, are particularly exposed to oxidants in the systemic circulation and at the interface with the external environment. Here, we review the physiological functions and pathophysiological alterations of Cl−/HCO3− exchangers belonging to the solute carriers SLC4 and SLC26 superfamilies in relation to oxidative stress. Particularly well studied is the impact of oxidative stress on the red blood cell SLC4A1/AE1 (Band 3 protein), of which the function seems to be directly affected by oxidative stress and possibly involves oxidation of the transporter itself or its interacting proteins, with detrimental consequences in oxidative stress‐related diseases including inflammation, metabolic dysfunctions and ageing. The effect of oxidative stress on SLC26 members was less extensively explored. Indirect evidence suggests that SLC26 transporters can be target as well as determinants of oxidative stress, especially when their expression is abolished or dysregulated.

Abstract
Objective: Changes in the blood cell function, metabolism, and the coagulation system
were associated with diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the
magnitude and associated factors of hematological abnormalities in adults
with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 204 medical charts of adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus who
registered for follow-up at the University of Gondar Comprehensive
Specialized Hospital were reviewed from June to August 2021. Data were
collected using a structured data extraction checklist. To identify factors
associated with hematological abnormalities, both bivariate and multivariate
logistic regression analyses were done. Statistical significance was defined
as a p-value of <0.05. Results: The overall magnitude of leukocytosis and anemia in adults with type 1
diabetes mellitus was 76.0% (95% confidence interval: 70.07–81.89) and
30.90% (95% confidence interval: 24.49–37.28), respectively. Neutrophilia
and lymphocytosis were the common white blood cell abnormalities detected in
53.43% (95% confidence interval: 46.53–60.33) and 43.63% (95% confidence
interval: 36.76–50.49) of the patients, respectively. Besides,
thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia were observed in 5.4% (95% confidence
interval: 2.27–8.52) and 10.3% (95% confidence interval: 6.09–14.5) of the
patients, respectively. Only being male (adjusted odds ratio = 2.28 (95%
confidence interval: 1.46–5.29)) and duration of diabetes mellitus
(⩾3 years) (adjusted odds ratio = 8.41 (95% confidence interval:
2.49–28.29)) were significantly associated with anemia and leukocytosis,
respectively. Conclusion: Hematological abnormalities, particularly anemia and leukocytosis, are common
in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, preventive and control
strategies for hematological abnormalities are essential in patients with
type 1 diabetes mellitus particularly for male and patients with a long
duration on diabetes mellitus to reduce the burden and related
complications.

[PMID: 35137967 DOI: 10.1111/trf.16815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), not routinely screened in blood donors, is associated with morphological, biochemical, and functional abnormalities of red blood cells (RBCs) and with enhanced oxidative stress. We aimed to explore HbA1c levels in blood donors and their effect on RBC storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 875 eligible blood donors aged 18-60 years from May 1, 2021, to August 30, 2021. Two selected groups of donors (HbA1c <6.5%, n = 10; HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, n = 10) exhibiting as similar as possible baseline values (such as age, sex, and living habits, etc.) were recruited for blood donation in leukoreduced CPDA-1 units. RBC morphological, biochemical, structural, and oxidative stress states were measured during 5-35 days of storage. RESULTS Elevated HbA1c prevalence was 37%, including 31.7% (277/875) in the prediabetes range (HbA1c 5.7%-6.4%) and 5.4% (47/875) in the diabetes range (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%). Age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, and alcohol consumption were the main factors influencing the HbA1c levels. During storage, high-HbA1c group had abnormal RBC morphology, impaired membrane function, and ion imbalance (higher mean corpuscular volume, distribution width, hemolysis rate, potassium ion efflux, and phosphatidylserine exposure) as compared with low HbA1c group. Additionally, RBC oxidative stress was significantly increased in donors with high HbA1c levels during 21-35 days. DISCUSSION Blood donors proportion with abnormal HbA1c levels was relatively high, and donor HbA1c levels may be associated with stored RBCs capacity. Our study provides new insights into the different effects of donor HbA1c levels on RBC storage lesions.

Influence of Chlorhexidine and Cetylpyridine on Periodontal Status and Indicators of Oxidative Stress in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10111732. [PMID: 34829603 PMCID: PMC8614958 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10111732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: One of the treatment goals in type 1 diabetes and periodontitis is to address chronic inflammation to prevent the development of neurovascular complications. The aim of this study was to assess the local anti-inflammatory effects of chlorhexidine digluconate and cetylpyridine chloride on periodontal status and indicators of oxidative stress in saliva in patients with type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods: A total of 42 subjects aged 27 (interquartile range, IQR 22–35) years, with type 1 diabetes for a duration of 12 (IQR 9–18) years, and glycated hemoglobin 8.05 (IQR 7.1–9.4)% were included. Patients were examined twice—initially, and after 14 days of using toothpaste with chlorhexidine and cetylpyridine. Clinical examination of gingival tissues was performed. Certain oxidative stress markers (TP, TEAC, TBARS, AOPP) were measured in the saliva samples. Results: There were significant changes in clinical indicators of periodontal status before and after the application of the toothpaste (API before 0.35 (0.24–0.65) vs. API after 0.265 (0.18–0.39), p = 0.03; SBI before 0.07 (0.04–0.15) vs. SBI after 0.035 (0-0.06), p = 0.002; GI before 0.88 (0.46–1) vs. GI after 0.67 (0.25–1), p = 0.0008). The concentration of saliva TBARS decreased (p = 0.00005) and TEAC increased (p = 0.09). Conclusion: Proper oral hygiene supported by antibacterial chemicals may improve the periodontal status and reduce inflammation.

Abstract
Band 3 protein (B3p), anion transporter, allows the HCO3 - /Cl- exchange across plasma membrane and plays an important role for erythrocytes homeostasis. In addition, B3p is linked to proteins cytoskeleton, thus contributing to cell shape and deformability, essential to erythrocytes adjustment within narrowest capillaries. Taking into account that erythrocytes are a suitable cell model to investigate the response of the oxidative stress effects, B3p functions, and specifically anion exchange capability, determining the rate constant for SO4 2- uptake, has been considered. As, in the latter years, rising attention has been addressed to membrane transport system, and particularly to this protein, the present mini-review has been conceived to report the most recent knowledge about B3p, with specific regard to its functions in oxidative stress conditions, including oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension are highly prevalent worldwide health problems and frequently associated with severe clinical complications, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmia, among others. Despite all existing research results and reasonable speculations, knowledge about the role of purinergic system in individuals with DM and hypertension remains restricted. Purinergic signaling accounts for a complex network of receptors and extracellular enzymes responsible for the recognition and degradation of extracellular nucleotides and adenosine. The main components of this system that will be presented in this review are: P1 and P2 receptors and the enzymatic cascade composed by CD39 (NTPDase; with ATP and ADP as a substrate), CD73 (5′-nucleotidase; with AMP as a substrate), and adenosine deaminase (ADA; with adenosine as a substrate). The purinergic system has recently emerged as a central player in several physiopathological conditions, particularly those linked to inflammatory responses such as diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, the present review focuses on changes in both purinergic P1 and P2 receptor expression as well as the activities of CD39, CD73, and ADA in diabetes and hypertension conditions. It can be postulated that the manipulation of the purinergic axis at different levels can prevent or exacerbate the insurgency and evolution of diabetes and hypertension working as a compensatory mechanism.

Use of Oral Anticoagulation and Diabetes Do Not Inhibit the Angiogenic Potential of Hypoxia Preconditioned Blood-Derived Secretomes. Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8080283. [PMID: 32796694 PMCID: PMC7459715 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines8080283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2020] [Revised: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients suffering from tissue ischemia, who would greatly benefit from angiogenesis-promoting therapies such as hypoxia preconditioned blood-derived secretomes commonly receive oral anticoagulation (OA) and/or have diabetes mellitus (DM). In this study, we investigated the effect of OA administration on the in vitro angiogenic potential of hypoxia preconditioned plasma (HPP) and serum (HPS), prepared from nondiabetic/diabetic subjects who did not receive OA (n = 5) or were treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, n = 8), ASA + clopidogrel (n = 10), or nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (n = 7) for longer than six months. The effect of DM was differentially assessed by comparing HPP/HPS obtained from nondiabetic (n = 8) and diabetic (n = 16) subjects who had not received OA in the past six months. The concentration of key proangiogenic (vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF) and antiangiogenic (thrombospondin-1 or TSP-1 and platelet factor-4 or PF-4) protein factors in HPP/HPS was analyzed via ELISA, while their ability to induce microvessel formations was examined in endothelial cell cultures. We found that OA use significantly reduced VEGF levels in HPP, but not HPS, compared to non-OA controls. While HPP and HPS TSP-1 levels remained largely unchanged as a result of OA usage, HPS PF-4 levels were significantly reduced in samples obtained from OA-treated subjects. Neither OA administration nor DM appeared to significantly reduce the ability of HPP or HPS to induce microvessel formations in vitro. These findings indicate that OA administration does not limit the angiogenic potential of hypoxia preconditioned blood-derived secretomes, and therefore, it does not prohibit the application of these therapies for supporting tissue vascularization and wound healing in healthy or diabetic subjects.

Abstract
Diabetic patients have an increased risk of invasive aspergillosis (IA), but the mechanism is still unclear. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils play a key role in defense against Aspergillus infection. Since diabetes mellitus affects the production of ROS from neutrophils, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether this effect is related to the susceptibility of diabetic mice to IA. C57BL/6 mice were used to establish type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model, and IA was induced by airway infection with Aspergillus fumigatus. After infection, the fungal load, neutrophil count and ROS content in the lung tissues of T2DM mice were higher than those in the control mice, and the inflammation of the lung tissue was more serious. After being exposed to hyphae in vitro, compared with the control group, neutrophils in T2DM mice had higher apoptosis rate and intracellular ROS content, as well as lower viability, extracellular ROS content and fungicidal ability. In summary, after T2DM mice are infected with A. fumigatus, the reduction of extracellular ROS produced by neutrophils may lead to a decrease in fungicidal ability, while the increase of intracellular ROS is related to neutrophil and lung tissue damage.

Abstract
Monocytes are rapidly recruited to sites of diabetic complications and differentiate into macrophages. Previously, we showed that rat kidney mesangial cells dividing during hyperglycemic stress abnormally synthesize hyaluronan (HA) in intracellular compartments. This initiates a stress response, resulting in an extracellular HA matrix after division that recruits inflammatory cells. Cell-cell communication among macrophages that are recruited into the glomeruli and the damaged rat mesangial cells leads to diabetic nephropathy, fibrosis, and proteinurea, which are inhibited in heparin-treated diabetic rats. In this study, we found that murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and a human leukemic cell line, U937 cells, dividing in hyperglycemia also accumulate intracellular HA and that heparin inhibits the HA accumulation. Both cell types expressed increased levels of proinflammatory markers: inducible nitric-oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor-α, when cultured under hyperglycemic stress, which was inhibited by heparin. Furthermore, the abnormal intracellular HA was also observed in peripheral blood monocytes derived from three different hyperglycemic diabetic mouse models: streptozotocin-treated, high-fat fed, and Ins2Akita. Moreover, peripheral blood monocytes in humans with type 2 diabetes and poorly controlled blood glucose levels (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels of >7) also had intracellular HA, whereas those with HbA1c of <7, did not. Of note, heparin increased the anti-inflammatory markers arginase 1 and interleukin-10 in murine BMDMs. We conclude that heparin treatment of high glucose-exposed dividing BMDMs promotes an anti-inflammatory tissue-repair phenotype in these cells.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the erythrocyte morphology in people with prediabetes, T2DM and healthy subjects in a Mexican population and its association with biochemical parameters. METHODS Cross-sectional study consisted of three groups: healthy (HG), people with prediabetes (PG) and with T2DM (DMG). A blood sample was obtained from all participants to assess the erythrocyte morphology, and levels of HbA1c, glucose and lipid profile. Anthropometrical parameters were also evaluated. RESULTS It was observed that compared with healthy individuals, people with prediabetes presented a significant decrease in the diameter (-0.08 μm, P = 0.014) and height (-0.07 μm, P = 0.004), as well as people with T2DM (-0.33 μm, P < 0.001 in diameter; and -0.36 μm, P < 0.001 in height). Besides, it was found a significant difference in diameter (-0.25 μm, P < 0.001) and height (-0.29 μm, P < 0.001) between the PG and DMG. No significant differences in the axial ratio between groups. Also, HbA1c, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference were significantly associated with diameter and height. CONCLUSIONS Erythrocyte morphological alterations can serve as an indicator of early diagnosis of T2DM and a factor implicated in the course of the clinical condition, so the correction of these alterations could serve as a treatment for prediabetes and T2DM. It is essential to promote constantly checkups of biochemical and anthropometrical parameters, as well as erythrocyte morphological alterations to prevent the onset of prediabetes and T2DM and possible clinical complications.

Abstract
Platelet (PLT) hyperactivity is a key factor which contributes to cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus even in preclinical stages of disease. To the best of our knowledge, there is limited researches in this regard among patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate hematologic indices indicating PLT activity in children with type 1 diabetes. This was a case-control study which was conducted on 166 inpatients in 17 Shahrivar children hospital, Rasht, Iran during April 2016 to April 2017. Cases and controls were 83 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 83 children hospitalized for thorough assessment of short stature, respectively. Groups were matched for age and sex. Demographic characteristics and hematologic variables were assessed. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine the normality of the distribution. Results for continuous and categorical variables were demonstrated as mean±SD and number and percent, respectively. Continuous variables without normal distribution were demonstrated as median (interquartile range). The χ/Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical variables. The normal and non-normal distributed quantitative variables were respectively assessed by independent T-test or Mann-Whitney U test. P-value <0.05 noted statistical significance. The median (interquartile range) age of all children was 10 (6 to 13) years old. Thirty-five (42.2) of patients with diabetes and 35 (42.2) of control group were male individuals. There were positive correlation between age (r=0.370; P=0.001), hemoglobin (r=0.278; P=0.009), blood sugar (r=0.243; P=0.027), PLT distribution width (r=0.229; P=0.038), plateletcrit (PCT) (r=0.290; P=0.008), PLT to lymphocyte ratio (r=0.230; P=0.037) and glycosylated hemoglobin in children with diabetes. The cut-off point of PCT was 0.19 (sensitivity=87.8%, specificity=66.7%). Only increased PCT (>0.19) was related with poor metabolic control and can put the patients to the risk of future cardiovascular events. The authors recommend considering multiple PLT parameters, and not just one of them, and even designing a scoring system in terms of PLT parameters for type 1 diabetes mellitus management programs.

Abstract
Background Little is known about factors that affect the composition of contracted blood clots in specific diseases. We investigated the content of polyhedral erythrocytes (polyhedrocytes) formed in blood clots and its determinants in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Methods In 97 patients with long-standing T2D [median HbA1c, 6.4% (interquartile range 5.9–7.8)], we measured in vitro the composition of blood clots, including a clot area covered by polyhedrocytes using scanning electron microscopy and the erythrocyte compression index (ECI), defined as a ratio of the mean polyhedrocyte area to the mean native erythrocyte area. Moreover, plasma fibrin clot permeability (Ks), clot lysis time (CLT), thrombin generation, oxidative stress [total protein carbonyl (total PC), total antioxidant capacity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)], and platelet activation markers were determined. The impact of glucose concentration on polyhedrocytes formation was assessed in vitro. Results Polyhedrocytes content in contracted clots was positively correlated with glucose (r = 0.24, p = 0.028), glycated hemoglobin (r = 0.40, p = 0.024), total cholesterol (r = 0.22, p = 0.044), TBARS (r = 0.60, p = 0.0027), P-selectin (r = 0.54, p = 0.0078) and platelet factor-4, PF4 (r = 0.59, p = 0.0032), but not with thrombin generation, platelet count, Ks or CLT. Patients who formed more polyhedrocytes (≥ 10th percentile) (n = 83, 85.6%) had higher glucose (+ 15.7%, p = 0.018), fibrinogen (+ 16.6%, p = 0.004), lower red blood cell distribution width (RDW, − 8.8%, p = 0.034), reduced plasma clot density (− 21.8% Ks, p = 0.011) and impaired fibrinolysis (+ 6.5% CLT, p = 0.037) when compared to patients with lesser amount of polyhedrocytes (< 10th percentile). ECI and the content of polyhedrocytes were strongly associated with total PC (r = 0.79, p = 0.036 and r = 0.67, p = 0.0004, respectively). In vitro an increase of glucose concentration by 10 mmol/L was associated with 94% higher polyhedrocytes content (p = 0.033) when compared to the baseline (7.1 mM). After adjustment for age, sex and fibrinogen, multiple regression analysis showed that RDW was the only independent predictor of polyhedrocytes content in T2D (OR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.39–0.92). Conclusions Poor glycemic control, together with enhanced platelet activation and oxidative stress, increase the content of polyhedrocytes in blood clots generated in T2D patients.

Effect of gallic acid on purinergic signaling in lymphocytes, platelets, and serum of diabetic rats. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 101:30-36.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased susceptibility to various infections, which might be attributed to changes in immune response owing to chronic hyperglycemia. Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), 5'-nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) are important enzymes involved in the generation of anti-aggregant and anti-inflammatory microenvironments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gallic acid (GA) on the hematological parameters and ectonucleotidase activities in platelets, lymphocytes, and serum of diabetic rats. Experimental rats were categorized into 4 groups: (i) control -saline, (ii) control - GA, (iii) diabetic -saline, and (iv) diabetic - GA. One week after induction of DM using streptozotocin (65 mg/kg), GA (30 mg/kg) or saline was orally administered to the rats for 21 days. Our results demonstrated that the concentration of mean corpuscular hemoglobin was decreased, whereas that of red cell distribution was increased in the diabetic group, however, GA could revert these alterations. Moreover, in diabetic rats, GA reverted the increase in ATP and ADP hydrolysis and ADA activity in lymphocytes, and it prevented the increase in NTPDase and ADA activities in platelets. A decrease in ATP hydrolysis and an increase in ADP and AMP hydrolysis were observed in the serum of diabetic rats; however, GA treatment could solely revert changes in ATP hydrolysis. Our study suggests that GA exhibits beneficial effects on immuno- and thrombo-regulatory responses in DM and that these effects may be related to the modulation of purinergic signaling.

Abstract
Kidneys play an important role in glucose homeostasis. Renal gluconeogenesis prevents hypoglycemia by releasing glucose into the blood stream. Glucose homeostasis is also due, in part, to reabsorption and excretion of hexose in the kidney.Lipid bilayer of plasma membrane is impermeable for glucose, which is hydrophilic and soluble in water. Therefore, transport of glucose across the plasma membrane depends on carrier proteins expressed in the plasma membrane. In humans, there are three families of glucose transporters: GLUT proteins, sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs) and SWEET. In kidney, only GLUTs and SGLTs protein are expressed. Mutations within genes that code these proteins lead to different renal disorders and diseases. However, diseases, not only renal, such as diabetes, may damage expression and function of renal glucose transporters.

Abstract
The aim is to study morphofunctional structure of NALT (nasal associated lymphoid tissue) and visceral lymph nodes of rats with experimental type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM-1) and to define the effectiveness of the treatment with herbal drug “Imupret”.
Materials and methods: The experiment involved 20 animals, divided into 4 groups: the 1st group was the control group of healthy rats, the 2nd group was the control group subject to prophylactic treatment with “Imupret, the 3rd group included rats with experimental diabetes, and the 4th group included rats with experimental diabetes subject to treatment with “Imupret. Functional changes in immune organs were evaluated by the results of morphometric analysis; morphological pattern was evaluated by histostructural changes.
Results. The research revealed that under conditions of diabetes mellitus type 1, the volume, area and density of the lymphoid tissue decreased, and only its "fine" cell was detected. The paper demonstrates the development of relative immune deficiency in immunocompetent organs in rats with diabetes mellitus type 1. The use of drug "Imupret" demonstrated its immunomodulatory function, which is especially important in terms of immunosuppression in patient with DM-1.
Conclusion. The received results are of a great clinical significance, and show the necessity of early prevention and treatment of immunity disorders under conditions of diabetes mellitus type 1.
