Abstract
This narrative review explores the pathophysiology of obesity, cellular senescence, and exosome release. When exposed to excessive nutrients, adipocytes develop mitochondrial dysfunction and generate reactive oxygen species with DNA damage. This triggers adipocyte hypertrophy and hypoxia, inhibition of adiponectin secretion and adipogenesis, increased endoplasmic reticulum stress and maladaptive unfolded protein response, metaflammation, and polarization of macrophages. Such feed-forward cycles are not resolved by antioxidant systems, heat shock response pathways, or DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in transmissible cellular senescence via autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling. Senescence can thus affect preadipocytes, mature adipocytes, tissue macrophages and lymphocytes, hepatocytes, vascular endothelium, pancreatic β cells, myocytes, hypothalamic nuclei, and renal podocytes. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype is closely related to visceral adipose tissue expansion and metaflammation; inhibition of SIRT-1, adiponectin, and autophagy; and increased release of exosomes, exosomal micro-RNAs, pro-inflammatory adipokines, and saturated free fatty acids. The resulting hypernefemia, insulin resistance, and diminished fatty acid β-oxidation lead to lipotoxicity and progressive obesity, metabolic syndrome, and physical and cognitive functional decline. Weight cycling is related to continuing immunosenescence and exposure to palmitate. Cellular senescence, exosome release, and the transmissible senescence-associated secretory phenotype contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Targeted therapies have interrelated and synergistic effects on cellular senescence, obesity, and premature aging.

Altered Body Composition and Cytokine Production in Patients with Elevated HOMA-IR after SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A 12-Month Longitudinal Study. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1581. [PMID: 39062154 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Altered body composition and cytokine production due to SARS-CoV-2 antigens may affect homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) after SARS-CoV-2 infection. To elucidate this phenomenon, we conducted a longitudinal study involving 47 COVID-19 patients, who were followed up for 12 months. During recruitment, body composition and glucose indices were measured, and heparin blood samples were collected for measuring cytokine production. HOMA-IR was considered an elevated or non-elevated group based on the ratio between HOMA-IR at 12 months and 1 month of convalescence. Those with elevated HOMA-IR had a significantly higher body mass index, body fat percentage, and visceral fat rating and had a lower lean mass and lean/fat mass ratio than their counterparts. During the convalescent period, the elevated HOMA-IR group had lower TNFα, IFNγ, IL-2, IL-10, and granzyme B expression levels but had higher TNFα/IL-10, IFNγ/IL-10, IL-2/IL-10, and granzyme B/IL-10 ratios than the other group. The reduced cytokine production and pro-/anti-inflammatory imbalance in patients with elevated HOMA-IR may suggest immune cell dysfunction toward SARS-CoV-2. Patients with elevated HOMA-IR after SARS-CoV-2 infection may experience an increase in BMI and body fat percentage, leading to increased immune dysfunction and chronic inflammatory condition. A nutritional approach and promotion of physical activity may help reduce HOMA-IR and ameliorate glucose indices in these patients.

Abstract
Obesity-related glomerulopathy, which is an obesity-triggered kidney damage, has become a significant threat to human health. Several studies have recently highlighted the critical role of inflammation in obesity-related glomerulopathy development. Additionally, excess adipose tissue and adipocytes in patients with obesity produce various inflammatory factors that cause systemic low-grade inflammation with consequent damage to vascular endothelial cells, exacerbating glomerular injury. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive review of obesity-related glomerulopathy and addressed the critical role of obesity-induced chronic inflammation in obesity-related glomerulopathy pathogenesis and progression, which leads to tubular damage and proteinuria, ultimately impairing renal function. The relationship between obesity and obesity-related glomerulopathy is facilitated by a network of various inflammation-associated cells (including macrophages, lymphocytes, and mast cells) and a series of inflammatory mediators (such as tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1) and their inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, we discuss a recently discovered relationship between micronutrients and obesity-related glomerulopathy inflammation and the important role of micronutrients in the body's anti-inflammatory response. Therefore, assessing these inflammatory molecules and pathways will provide a strong theoretical basis for developing therapeutic strategies based on anti-inflammatory effects to prevent or delay the onset of kidney injury.

Abstract
Obesity, which is the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue, has adverse impacts on human health. Obesity-related metabolic dysregulation has similarities to the metabolic alterations observed in aging. It has been shown that the adipocytes of obese individuals undergo cellular aging, known as senescence. Senescence can be transmitted to other normal cells through a series of chemical factors referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Most of these factors are pro-inflammatory compounds. The immune system removes these senescent T-cells, but immunosenescence, which is the senescence of immune cells, disrupts the clearance of senescent T-cells. Immunosenescence occurs as a result of aging or indirectly through transmission from senescent tissues. The significant occurrence of senescence in obesity is expected to cause immunosenescence and impairs the immune response to resolve inflammation. The sustained and chronic inflammation disrupts insulin's metabolic actions in metabolic tissues. Therefore, this review focuses on the role of senescent adipocyte cells in obesity-associated immunosenescence and subsequent metabolic dysregulation. Moreover, the article suggests novel therapeutic approaches to improve metabolic syndrome by targeting senescent T-cells or using senotherapeutics.

Abstract
Heart failure, renal dysfunction, anemia, and iron deficiency affect each other and form a vicious cycle, a condition referred to as cardiorenal anemia iron deficiency syndrome. The presence of diabetes further accelerates this vicious cycle. Surprisingly, simply inhibiting sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), which is expressed almost exclusively in the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney, not only increases glucose excretion into the urine and effectively controls blood glucose levels in diabetes but can also correct the vicious cycle of cardiorenal anemia iron deficiency syndrome. This review describes how SGLT2 is involved in energy metabolism regulation, hemodynamics (i.e., circulating blood volume and sympathetic nervous system activity), erythropoiesis, iron bioavailability, and inflammatory set points in diabetes, heart failure, and renal dysfunction.
