[PMID: 38774257 PMCID: PMC11108700 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5550812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study is aimed at investigating diagnostic biomarkers associated with lipotoxicity and the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: The GSE96804 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in DN patients. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted using the DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established to identify key genes linked to lipotoxicity in DN. Immune infiltration analysis was employed to identify immune cells with differential expression in DN and to assess the correlation between these immune cells and lipotoxicity-related hub genes. The findings were validated using the external dataset GSE104954. ROC analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic performance of the hub genes. The Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) enrichment method was utilized to analyze the key genes associated with lipotoxicity as mentioned above. Result: In this study, a total of 544 DEGs were identified. Among them, extracellular matrix (ECM), fatty acid metabolism, AGE-RAGE, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways were significantly enriched. Combining the PPI network and lipotoxicity-related genes (LRGS), LUM and ALB were identified as lipotoxicity-related diagnostic biomarkers for DN. ROC analysis showed that the AUC values for LUM and ALB were 0.882 and 0.885, respectively. The AUC values for LUM and ALB validated in external datasets were 0.98 and 0.82, respectively. Immune infiltration analysis revealed significant changes in various immune cells during disease progression. Macrophages M2, mast cells activated, and neutrophils were significantly associated with all lipotoxicity-related hub genes. These key genes were enriched in fatty acid metabolism and extracellular matrix-related pathways. Conclusion: The identified lipotoxicity-related hub genes provide a deeper understanding of the development mechanisms of DN, potentially offering new theoretical foundations for the development of diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets related to lipotoxicity in DN.

GPER activation attenuates cardiac dysfunction by upregulating the SIRT1/3-AMPK-UCP2 pathway in postmenopausal diabetic rats. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0293630. [PMID: 38134189 PMCID: PMC10745199 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0293630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Postmenopausal diabetic women are at higher risk to develop cardiovascular diseases (CVD) compared with nondiabetic women. Alterations in cardiac cellular metabolism caused by changes in sirtuins are one of the main causes of CVD in postmenopausal diabetic women. Several studies have demonstrated the beneficial actions of the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in postmenopausal diabetic CVD. However, the molecular mechanisms by which GPER has a cardioprotective effect are still not well understood. In this study, we used an ovariectomized (OVX) type-two diabetic (T2D) rat model induced by high-fat diet/streptozotocin to investigate the effect of G-1 (GPER-agonist) on sirtuins, and their downstream pathways involved in regulation of cardiac metabolism and function. Animals were divided into five groups: Sham-Control, T2D, OVX+T2D, OVX+T2D+Vehicle, and OVX+T2D+G-1. G-1 was administrated for six weeks. At the end, hemodynamic factors were measured, and protein levels of sirtuins, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) were determined by Western blot analysis. In addition, cardiac levels of oxidative stress biomarkers were measured. The findings showed that T2D led to left ventricular dysfunction and signs of oxidative stress in the myocardium, which were accompanied by decreased protein levels of Sirt1/2/3/6, p-AMPK, and UCP2 in the heart. Moreover, the induction of the menopausal state exacerbated these changes. In contrast, treatment with G-1 ameliorated the hemodynamic changes associated with ovariectomy by increasing Sirt1/3, p-AMPK, UCP2, and improving oxidative status. The results provide evidence of the cardioprotective effects of GPER operating through Sirt1/3, p-AMPK, and UCP2, thereby improving cardiac function. Our results suggest that increasing Sirt1/3 levels may offer new therapeutic approaches for postmenopausal diabetic CVD.

Abstract
In recent years, epigenetic modifications have been widely researched. As humans age, environmental and genetic factors may drive inflammation and immune responses by influencing the epigenome, which can lead to abnormal autoimmune responses in the body. Currently, an increasing number of studies have emphasized the important role of epigenetic modification in the progression of autoimmune diseases. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylases and SIRT-mediated deacetylation is an important epigenetic alteration. The SIRT family comprises seven protein members (namely, SIRT1-7). While the catalytic core domain contains amino acid residues that have remained stable throughout the entire evolutionary process, the N- and C-terminal regions are structurally divergent and contribute to differences in subcellular localization, enzymatic activity and substrate specificity. SIRT1 and SIRT2 are localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 are mitochondrial, and SIRT6 and SIRT7 are predominantly found in the nucleus. SIRTs are key regulators of various physiological processes such as cellular differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, ageing, immune response, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function. We discuss the association between SIRTs and common autoimmune diseases to facilitate the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Diabetes and ulcerative colitis are chronic diseases associated with inflammation, dysbiosis, impaired immune function and infection risk. In patients with type 1 diabetes enteropathy, gastrointestinal manifestations are seen relatively frequently. The current investigation was aimed to decipher the role of 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) in ulcerative colitis associated Diabetes mellitus in male BALB/c mice. Ulcerative colitis associated Diabetes mellitus experimental murine model was developed by 3 cycles (each cycle consists of seven days) of Dextran Sulphate Sodium (DSS; 2.5 %w/v) with recovery time of one week in-between along with Streptozotocin (STZ; 40 mg/kg; i.p. x 5 days; consecutively) was given at the Ist recovery period. As an intervention, 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB; 5 and 10 mg/kg; intraperitoneally) was given beginning with the second DSS cycle and then continue till sacrifice. 3-aminobenzamide treatment significantly reduced the severity of colitis-associated diabetes mellitus by altering the expression of a number of molecular targets, including sirtuin 1 (SIRT 1), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1), cysteine protease-1 (Caspase-1), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkBp65), NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and β-catenin. Further, 3-AB at high dose (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneally) significantly restored the epithelial tight junction integrity as evaluated by TEM analysis and restored occludin expression analysed by immunofluorescence analysis. Present study revealed that the high dose of 3-AB (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneally) showed significant and consistent protective effects against colitis associated Diabetes mellitus by modulating various molecular targets.

Abstract
Worldwide, around 850 million people are diagnosed with kidney disease but the available treatment options are still limited. Preclinical studies propose a plethora of druggable targets that can attenuate kidney disease and could qualify as novel therapeutic strategies, although most of these targets still await clinical testing. Here, we review some promising candidate targets for chronic kidney disease: intermedin, periostin, sirtuin, the cannabinoid receptor, Klotho, and uromodulin. For acute kidney injury, we discuss Apelin, Elabela, growth differentiation factor-15, Fyn kinase, and Klotho. Target selection for further clinical development should consider redundancies with the standard of care, potential synergistic effects with existing treatments, as well as the potential of additional effects on the cardiovascular system as a common comorbidity in patients with kidney disease.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a potential therapeutic target for different kinds of pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other conditions. Moreover, identification of SIRT modulators and exploring the functions of these different modulators have prompted increased efforts to discover new small molecules, which can modify SIRT activity. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials have indicated that different interventions might affect the expression of SIRT protein in human samples, and supplementation of SIRT modulators might have diverse impact on physiological function in different participants. In this review, we introduce the history and structure of the SIRT protein family, discuss the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of seven members of the SIRT protein family, elaborate on the regulatory roles of SIRTs in human disease, summarize SIRT inhibitors and activators, and review related clinical studies.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is manifested in more than 10% of people with diabetes. It is a common cause of kidney failure and end-stage kidney disease. Understanding of mechanisms underlying the initiation and development of diabetes-induced kidney injuries will allow for the development of more effective methods of prevention and treatment of the disease. Diabetic nephropathy is a wide-ranging complication of diabetes, and it is necessary to discuss the "weight" of pro-inflammatory pathways and molecules in the progress of renal injuries during the development of the disease. A large spectrum of pro-inflammatory molecules and pathways participate in different stages of the pathophysiological progression of diabetic nephropathy, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, their receptors, adhesion molecules, and transcription factors. On the other hand, it is known that one of the consequences of hyperglycemia-induced ROS generation is the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cascades, which, in turn, activate the transcription of genes encoding cytokines-chemokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins. It is a proven fact that a variety of plant secondary metabolites, such as tannins, flavonoids, and other polyphenols, demonstrate significant anti-diabetic, redox-modulating properties and effectively modulate the inflammatory response. Thus, this review is discussing the possible role of plant phenols in the prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Does oxidative DNA damage trigger histotoxic hypoxia via PARP1/AMP-driven mitochondrial ADP depletion-induced ATP synthase inhibition in Alzheimer's disease? Mitochondrion 2022; 67:59-64. [PMID: 36367519 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2022.10.005] [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: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
The low cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen despite the relatively preserved perfusion in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients' medial temporal lobes suggest histotoxic hypoxia due to mitochondrial dysfunction that is independent of, but could precede, insulin resistance. Neuropathological, metabolomic, and preclinical evidence are consistent with the notion that this mitochondrial dysfunction may be contributed to by oxidative stress and DNA damage, leading to poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase-1 (PARP1) activation and consequent AMP accumulation, clogging of mitochondrial adenine nucleotide transporters (ANTs), matrix ADP deprivation, and ATP synthase inhibition. Complementary mechanisms may include mitochondrial-protein poly-ADP-ribosylation and mitochondrial-biogenesis suppression via PARPs outcompeting Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) for nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD+).

Paeoniflorin Protects H9c2 Cardiomyocytes against Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Induced Injury via Regulating the AMPK/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7667770. [PMID: 36276847 PMCID: PMC9584672 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7667770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MIR) injury contributes to the exacerbation of heart disease by causing cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and even sudden death. Studies have found that paeoniflorin (PF) has a protective effect on coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanism of PF in MIR has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional role of PF in H9c2 cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Here, PF treatment enhanced cell viability in H/R-stimulated H9c2 cells. In H9c2 cells, PF treatment reduced the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by H/R. In H/R-stimulated H9c2 cells, PF also increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Furthermore, PF protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced apoptosis, as demonstrated by increased Bcl-2 expression, decreased Bax expression, and decreased caspase-3 activity. Furthermore, PF increased the levels of p-AMPK and nuclear Nrf2 expression in response to H/R stimulation. AMPK inhibition, on the other hand, abolished the PF-mediated increase in Nrf2 signaling and the cardiac-protective effect in H9c2 cells exposed to H/R. These data suggest that PF protected H9c2 cells against H/R-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis through modulating the AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Our findings support the therapeutic potential of PF in myocardial I/R damage.

Zaghloul RA, Abdelghany AM, Samra YA. Rutin and selenium nanoparticles protected against STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats through downregulating Jak-2/Stat3 pathway and upregulating Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway. Eur J Pharmacol 2022; 933:175289. [PMID: 36122758 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.175289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a renal complication of diabetic hyperglycemia. The Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is a center molecule of the chronic inflammation causing DN progression. Therefore, the study investigated the possible inhibitory effects of Rutin (Ru) and Selenium (Se), formulated as nanoparticles (SeNPs), on Stat3 pathway in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DN in Sprague-Dawley rats. Ru (100 mg/kg/orally) and SeNPs (equivalent to 5 mg of Se/kg/orally) were given as treatment for eight weeks. An assessment of fasting blood glucose, renal function biomarkers, GSH, and MDA was carried out spectrophotometrically. ELISA assessment of renal IL-6, NF-κB, TNF-α, Jak-2, and p-Stat3 was performed. Sirt-1, Nrf-2, and HO-1 were assessed immunohistochemically. DN group receiving Ru + SeNPs showed a decrease in fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, and urea (163.8 ± 22.8, 0.54 ± 0.1, and 53.6 ± 25.7 mg/dl, respectively), compared to the DN group (443.8 ± 42.72, 1.58 ± 0.4, and 281.8 ± 47.35 mg/dl, respectively). In addition, it exhibited elevation in the levels of Sirt-1, Nrf-2 and HO-1 compared to the DN group. Finally, Ru + SeNPs exhibited a significant reduction in IL-6, NF-κB, TNF-α, Jak-2, and p-Stat3 (42.8 ± 10.3, 1.2 ± 0.1, 53.4 ± 3.87, 0.8 ± 0.06 and 1.1 ± 0.2 U/g tissue, respectively) when compared to the DN group (155.3 ± 13.97, 2.8 ± 0.3, 105.5 ± 32.84, 2.03 ± 0.2 and 2.56 ± 0.15 U/g tissue, respectively). Therefore, combining Ru with SeNPs has a potential renoprotective effect against DN by upregulating Nrf-2/HO-1 and downregulating Jak-2/Stat3 Pathways.

Role of olmesartan in ameliorating diabetic nephropathy in rats by targeting the AGE/PKC, TLR4/P38-MAPK and SIRT-1 autophagic signaling pathways. Eur J Pharmacol 2022; 928:175117. [PMID: 35752350 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.175117] [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: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious consequences of diabetes and the most common reason for end-stage renal disease. The current study was set out to investigate the ability of olmesartan medoxomil (OM) to treat DN by evaluating the reno-protective effects of this drug on fat/fructose/streptozotocin (F/Fr/STZ)-induced diabetic rat model. This model was induced by feeding rats high F/Fr diet for 7 weeks followed by injection of a single sub-diabetogenic dose of STZ (35mg/kg; i.p). The F/Fr/STZ-induced diabetic rats were orally treated with either OM (10 mg/kg) or pioglitazone (10 mg/kg); as a standard drug daily for four consecutive weeks. F/Fr/STZ-induced diabetic rats propagated inflammatory, oxidative, and fibrotic events. OM was able to oppose the injurious effects of diabetes; it significantly reduced the elevated levels of advanced glycated end products (AGEs) and downregulated PKC gene expression, therefore, indicating its antioxidant capacity evidenced by mitigation in GSH, MDA renal content. Moreover, OM impaired the inflammatory cascade by suppressing the elevated level of renal TLR4 as well as diminished the inflammatory profibrotic cytokine TGF-β1. Additionally, OM was able to turn off the MAPK cascade mediated by an upsurge in renal angiotensin 1-7 content and decrease the level of renal tubular injury marker, KIM-1. Furthermore, OM enhanced the autophagic activity pathway by upregulating of gene expression of SIRT-1. The histopathological examination confirmed these results. Finally, OM protected against type 2 diabetes-related nephropathy complications by altering inflammatory pathways, oxidative, fibrotic, and autophagic processes triggered by renal glucose overload. This study shows that OM has a reno-protective effect against DN in rats by inhibiting the AGE/PKC, TLR4/P38-MAPK, and SIRT-1 autophagic signaling pathways.

Potential of Polyphenols to Restore SIRT1 and NAD+ Metabolism in Renal Disease. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14030653. [PMID: 35277012 PMCID: PMC8837945 DOI: 10.3390/nu14030653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase that is abundantly expressed in the kidney, where it modulates gene expression, apoptosis, energy homeostasis, autophagy, acute stress responses, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Alterations in SIRT1 activity and NAD+ metabolism are frequently observed in acute and chronic kidney diseases of diverse origins, including obesity and diabetes. Nevertheless, in vitro and in vivo studies and clinical trials with humans show that the SIRT1-activating compounds derived from natural sources, such as polyphenols found in fruits, vegetables, and plants, including resveratrol, quercetin, and isoflavones, can prevent disease and be part of treatments for a wide variety of diseases. Here, we summarize the roles of SIRT1 and NAD+ metabolism in renal pathophysiology and provide an overview of polyphenols that have the potential to restore SIRT1 and NAD+ metabolism in renal diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe microvascular complication in patients with diabetes and is one of the main causes of renal failure. The current clinical treatment methods for DKD are not completely effective, and further exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of DKD is necessary to improve and promote the treatment strategy. Sirtuins are class III histone deacetylases, which play an important role in many biological functions, including DNA repair, apoptosis, cell cycle, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, lifespan, and aging. In the last decade, research on sirtuins and DKD has gained increasing attention, and it is important to summarize the relationship between DKD and sirtuins to increase the awareness of DKD and improve the cure rates. We have found that miRNAs, lncRNAs, compounds, or drugs that up-regulate the activity and expression of sirtuins play protective roles in renal function. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the biological functions, molecular targets, mechanisms, and signaling pathways of SIRT1-SIRT7 in DKD models. Existing research has shown that sirtuins have the potential as effective targets for the clinical treatment of DKD. This review aims to lay a solid foundation for clinical research and provide a theoretical basis to slow the development of DKD in patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is gradually attacking the health and life of people all over the world. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common chronic microvascular complications of DM, whose mechanism is complex and still lacks research. Sirtuin family is a class III histone deacetylase with highly conserved NAD+ binding domain and catalytic functional domain, while different N-terminal and C-terminal structures enable them to bind different deacetylated substrates to participate in the cellular NAD+ metabolism. The kidney is an organ rich in NAD+ and database exploration of literature shows that the Sirtuin family has different expression localization in renal, cellular, and subcellular structures. With the progress of modern technology, a variety of animal models and reagents for the Sirtuin family and DKD emerged. Machine learning in the literature shows that the Sirtuin family can regulate pathophysiological injury mainly in the glomerular filtration membrane, renal tubular absorption, and immune inflammation through various mechanisms such as epigenetics, multiple signaling pathways, and mitochondrial function. These mechanisms are the key nodes participating in DKD. Thus, it is of great significance for target therapy to study biological functions of the Sirtuin family and DKD regulation mechanism in-depth.

Abstract
The redox reaction and energy metabolism status in mitochondria is involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic related disorder in kidney including diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a cofactor for redox reactions and energy metabolism in mitochondria. NAD+ can be synthesized from four precursors through three pathways. The accumulation of NAD+ may ameliorate oxidative stress, inflammation and improve mitochondrial biosynthesis via supplementation of precursors and intermediates of NAD+ and activation of sirtuins activity. Conversely, the depletion of NAD+ via NAD+ consuming enzymes including Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), cADPR synthases may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired mitochondrial biosynthesis, which leads to the pathogenesis of DKD. Therefore, homeostasis of NAD+ may be a potential target for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases including DKD. In this review, we focus on the regulation of the metabolic balance of NAD+ on the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, especially DKD, highlight benefits of the potential interventions targeting NAD+-boosting in the treatment of these diseases.
