Abstract
The present work elucidates the role of colchicine (COL) on albumin glycation and cellular oxidative stress in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Human serum albumin (HSA) was glycated with methylglyoxal in the presence of COL (2.5, 3.75, and 5 µM), whereas positive and negative control samples were maintained separately. The effects of COL on HSA glycation, structural and functional modifications in glycated HSA were analyzed using different spectroscopical and fluorescence techniques. Increased fructosamine, carbonyl, and pentosidine formation in glycated HSA samples were inhibited in the presence of COL. Structural conformation of HSA and glycated HSA samples was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance analyses, where COL maintained both secondary and tertiary structures of HSA against glycation. Functional marker assays included ABTS•+ radical scavenging and total antioxidant activities, advanced oxidative protein product formation, and turbidimetry, which showed preserved functional properties of glycated HSA in COL-containing samples. Afterward, rat cardiomyoblast (H9c2 cell line) was treated with glycated HSA-COL complex (400 μg/mL) for examining various cellular antioxidants (nitric oxide, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione) and detoxification enzymes (aldose reductase, glyoxalase I, and II) levels. All three concentrations of COL exhibited effective anti-glycation properties, enhanced cellular antioxidant levels, and detoxification enzyme activities. The report comprehensively analyzes the potential anti-glycation and properties of COL during its initial assessment.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder that is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, is common throughout the world and its prevalence is steadily increasing. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent acute complications and life-threatening long-term organ damage. Glycation sites in human serum albumin (HSA) are considered to be promising biomarkers of systemic glycemic status. This work aimed to develop a sensitive and clinically applicable ELISA for the quantification of glycation site Lys414 in HSA (HSAK414 ). The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated by immunizing mice with a glycated peptide. The established indirect ELISA based on mAb 50D8 (IgG1 isotype) yielded a limit of detection of 0.39 nmol/g HSA for HSAK414 with a linear dynamic range from 0.50 to 6.25 nmol/g glycated HSA. The inter- and intra-day assays with coefficients of variation less than 20 % indicated good assay performance and precision. Assay evaluation was based on plasma samples from diabetic and non-diabetic subjects with known HSAK414 glycation levels previously determined by LC-MS. Both data sets correlated very well. In conclusion, the generated mAb 50D8 and the established ELISA could be a valuable tool for the rapid quantitation of glycation site HSAK414 in plasma samples to evaluate its clinical relevance.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease is a narrowing or obstruction of the vascular cavity caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, which leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. At present, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Restenosis is the main limiting factor of the long-term success of PCI, and it is also a difficult problem in the field of intervention. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor is a new oral glucose-lowering agent used in the treatment of diabetes in recent years. Recent studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can effectively improve the prognosis of patients after PCI and reduce the occurrence of restenosis. This review provides an overview of the clinical studies and mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors in the prevention of restenosis, providing a new option for improving the clinical prognosis of patients after PCI.

Abstract
The design and development of new small-molecule glycation inhibitors are essential for preventing various chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, immunoinflammation, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. 4-Thiazolidinone or thiazolidine-4-one is a well-known heterocyclic compound with the potential to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products. In the present work, we report the synthesis and characterization of four new 5-arylidene 3-cyclopropyl-2-(phenylimino)thiazolidin-4-one (1-4) compounds and their human serum albumin glycation inhibitory activity. One of the compounds 5-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylidene)-3-cyclopropyl-2-(phenylimino)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (3) showed potent inhibition in the synthesis of initial, intermediary, and final products of glycation reactions. Besides, conformational changes in the α-helix and β-sheet (due to hyperglycemia) were also found to be reversed upon the addition of (3). Experimental findings were complemented by computational [molecular docking, ADME/Tox, and density functional theory (DFT)] studies. The docking scores of the compounds were in order 1 > 3 > 2 > 4, indicating the importance of the polar group at the 5-arylidene moiety. The results of ADME/Tox and DFT calculations revealed the safe nature of the compounds with high drug-likeness and stability. Overall, we speculate that the results of this study could provide valuable insights into the biological activity of 4-thiazolidinones.

Abstract
Protein glycation can result in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which pose a potential health risk due to their association with diabetic complications. Natural products are a source of drugs discovery and the search for potential natural inhibitors of AGEs is of great significance. Glucosinolates (GSLs) mainly from cruciferous plants have potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-glycation activities. In this study, the inhibitory activity of GSLs on bovine serum albumin (BSA) along with its mechanism was investigated by virtual screening and various computational simulation techniques. Virtual screening revealed that 174 GSLs were screened using Maestro based on the glide score and 89% of the compounds were found to have potential anti-glycation ability with the docking scores less than -5 kcal/mol. Molecular docking showed that the top 10 GSLs were bound to the IIA structural domain of BSA. Among them, glucohesperin (1) and 2-hydroxyethyl glucosinolate (2) had the lowest docking scores of -9.428 and -9.333 kcal/mol, respectively, reflecting their good binding affinity. Molecular dynamics simulations of 1 (ΔG = -43.46 kcal/mol) and 2 (ΔG = -43.71 kcal/mol) revealed that the complexes of these two compounds with proteins had good stability. Further binding site analysis suggested that the mechanism of inhibition of protein glycation by these two active ingredients might be through competitive hydrogen bonding to maintain the structural integrity of the protein, thus inhibiting glycation reaction. Moreover, the ADMET values and CYP450 metabolism prediction data were within the recommended values. Therefore, it can be concluded that 1 and 2 may act as potential anti-glycation agents.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Hence, early detection of diabetic nephropathy is essential to mitigate the disease burden. Microalbuminuria, the currently used diagnostic marker of diabetic nephropathy, is not efficient in detecting it at an early stage. Therefore, we explored the utility of glycated human serum albumin (HSA) peptides for risk prediction of diabetic nephropathy. Three glycation-sensitive HSA peptides, namely, FKDLGEENFK, KQTALVELVK, and KVPQVSTPTLVEVSR, with deoxyfructosyllysine (DFL) modification were quantified by targeted mass spectrometry (MS) in a study population comprising healthy and type II diabetes subjects with and without nephropathy. Mass spectrometry, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and correlation analysis revealed that the DFL-modified KQTALVELVK peptide was better than other glycated HSA peptides and HbA1c for identifying diabetic nephropathy. DFL-modified KQTALVELVK could be a potential marker for risk prediction of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder that increases mortality and disability due to its complications. A key driver of these complications is nonenzymatic glycation, which generates advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that impair tissue function. Therefore, effective nonenzymatic glycation prevention and control strategies are urgently needed. This review comprehensively describes the molecular mechanisms and pathological consequences of nonenzymatic glycation in diabetes and outlines various anti-glycation strategies, such as lowering plasma glucose, interfering with the glycation reaction, and degrading early and late glycation products. Diet, exercise, and hypoglycemic medications can reduce the onset of high glucose at the source. Glucose or amino acid analogs such as flavonoids, lysine and aminoguanidine competitively bind to proteins or glucose to block the initial nonenzymatic glycation reaction. In addition, deglycation enzymes such as amadoriase, fructosamine-3-kinase, parkinson's disease protein, glutamine amidotransferase-like class 1 domain-containing 3A and terminal FraB deglycase can eliminate existing nonenzymatic glycation products. These strategies involve nutritional, pharmacological, and enzymatic interventions that target different stages of nonenzymatic glycation. This review also emphasizes the therapeutic potential of anti-glycation drugs for preventing and treating diabetes complications.

Abstract
In hyperglycemic conditions, the level of reactive dicarbonyl metabolites concentration is found to be high, which plays a significant role in protein glycation. Despite decades of research, the effect of methylglyoxal on the structure and function of insulin is still unknown. Through a shift in conformation at the B-chain C-terminal (BT-CT) hinge from an "open" to a "wide-open" conformation, insulin binds to the receptor and activates the signal cascade. Insulin resistance, which is the main sign of Type 2 Diabetes, can be caused by a lack of insulin signaling. Methylglyoxal site-specific glycation in residue R22 at B chain forms AGE product Methylglyoxal-hydroimidazolone (MGH1) in insulin. In this work, we present molecular dynamics study of this glycated insulin R22MGH1, which revealed new insights into the conformational and structural changes. We find the following key results: 1) B-chain in insulin undergoes a closed conformational change upon glycation. 2) Glycated insulin shows secondary structure alteration. 3) Glycated insulin retains its closed shape due to an unusually strong hydrophobic contact between B-chain residues. 4) Wide open native conformation of insulin allows the B chain helix to be surrounded by more water molecules compared to the closed conformation of glycated insulin. The closed conformation of glycated insulin impairs its binding to insulin receptor (IR).

Abstract
Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), particularly in long-lived extracellular matrix proteins, has been implicated in pathogenesis of diabetic complications and in aging. Knowledge about specific locations of AGEs and their precursors within protein primary structure is critical for understanding their physiological and pathophysiological impact. However, the information on specific AGE sites is lacking. Here, we identified sequence positions of four major AGEs, carboxymethyllysine, carboxyethyllysine, 5-hydro-5-methyl imidazolone, and 5-hydro-imidazolone, and an AGE precursor fructosyllysine within the triple helical region of collagen I from cortical bone of human femurs. The presented map provides a basis for site-specific quantitation of AGEs and other non-enzymatic post-translational modifications and identification of those sites affected by aging, diabetes, and other diseases such as osteoporosis; it can also help in guiding future studies of AGE impact on structure and function of collagen I in bone.

Abstract
Introduction: Biomolecules bind to and transform nanoparticles, mediating their fate in biological systems. Despite over a decade of research into the protein corona, the role of protein modifications in mediating their interaction with nanomaterials remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated how glycation of the most abundant blood protein, human serum albumin (HSA), influences the formation of the protein corona on 40 nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the toxicity of AgNPs to the HepG2 human liver cell line. Methods: The effects of glycation on AgNP-HSA interactions were quantified using circular dichroism spectroscopy to monitor protein structural changes, dynamic light scattering to assess AgNP colloidal stability, zeta potential measurements to measure AgNP surface charge, and UV-vis spectroscopy and capillary electrophoresis (CE) to evaluate protein binding affinity and kinetics. The effect of the protein corona and HSA glycation on the toxicity of AgNPs to HepG2 cells was measured using the WST cell viability assay and AgNP dissolution was measured using linear sweep stripping voltammetry. Results and Discussion: Results from UV-vis and CE analyses suggest that glycation of HSA had little impact on the formation of the AgNP protein corona with protein-AgNP association constants of ≈2x107 M-1 for both HSA and glycated HSA (gHSA). The formation of the protein corona itself (regardless of whether it was formed from HSA or glycated HSA) caused an approximate 2-fold decrease in cell viability compared to the no protein AgNP control. While the toxicity of AgNPs to cells is often attributed to dissolved Ag(I), dissolution studies showed that the protein coated AgNPs underwent less dissolution than the no protein control, suggesting that the protein corona facilitated a nanoparticle-specific mechanism of toxicity. Overall, this study highlights the importance of protein coronas in mediating AgNP interactions with HepG2 cells and the need for future work to discern how protein coronas and protein modifications (like glycation) may alter AgNP reactivity to cellular organisms.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in many tissues and can differentiate into cells of multiple lineages, such as adipocytes, osteoblasts, or chondrocytes. MSC administration has demonstrated therapeutic potential in various degenerative and inflammatory diseases (e.g., graft-vs.-host disease, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, organ fibrosis, and diabetes mellitus [DM]). The mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effects of MSCs are multifaceted. Generally, implanted MSCs can migrate to sites of injury, where they establish an anti-inflammatory and regenerative microenvironment in damaged tissues. In addition, MSCs can modulate innate and adaptive immune responses through immunosuppressive mechanisms that involve immune cells, inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and immunomodulatory factors. DM has a high prevalence worldwide; it also contributes to a high rate of mortality worldwide. MSCs offer a promising therapeutic agent to prevent or repair damage from DM and diabetic complications through properties such as multilineage differentiation, homing, promotion of angiogenesis, and immunomodulation (e.g., prevention of oxidative stress, fibrosis, and cell death). In this study, we review current findings regarding the immunomodulatory and regenerative mechanisms of MSCs, as well as their therapeutic applications in DM and DM-related complications.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) constitute a non-homogenous, chemically diverse group of compounds formed either exogeneously or endogeneously on the course of various pathways in the human body. In general, they are formed non-enzymatically by condensation between carbonyl groups of reducing sugars and free amine groups of nucleic acids, proteins, or lipids, followed by further rearrangements yielding stable, irreversible end-products. In the last decades, AGEs have aroused the interest of the scientific community due to the increasing evidence of their involvement in many pathophysiological processes and diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, and even infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They are recognized by several cellular receptors and trigger many signaling pathways related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Despite many experimental research outcomes published recently, the complexity of their engagement in human physiology and pathophysiological states requires further elucidation. This review focuses on the receptors of AGEs, especially on the structural aspects of receptor-ligand interaction, and the diseases in which AGEs are involved. It also aims to present AGE classification in subgroups and to describe the basic processes leading to both exogeneous and endogeneous AGE formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify traditional Chinese drugs that contain active ingredients for treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) and explore their therapeutic mechanisms using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. METHODS The TCMSP database was used for screening the traditional Chinese drugs containing active ingredients for treating MI, and the related targets of MI and the candidate drugs were obtained from Genecards, OMIM, PharmGkb and PharmMapper databases. The common target network of the drug targets and disease targets was established using Venny2.1.0 software. GO and KEGG signal pathway enrichment analysis of the common targets was performed, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for the targets. The targets in the PPI network were analyzed to identify the key targets, for which GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed. Molecular docking was performed for the candidate ingredients and the key targets, and a total score ≥6 was used as the criteria for screening the therapeutic ingredients and their docking binding with key targets was verified. A human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to validate the candidate ingredients and the key therapeutic targets for MI by Western blotting. RESULTS Our analysis identified Salvia miltiorrhiza and Dalbergiae odoriferae as the candidate drugs rich in active ingredients for treatment of MI. These ingredients involved 16 key therapeutic targets for MI, which participated in such biological processes as inflammatory response, angiogenesis, energy metabolism and oxidative stress and the pathways including HIF-1, VEGF, and TNF pathways. Sclareol and PTGS2 in Salvia miltiorrhiza and formononetin and KDR in Dalbergiae odoriferae all had high docking total scores. Western blotting showed that at medium and high doses, sclareol significantly inhibited PTGS2 expression and formononetin promoted KDR expressions in the cell models in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Both Salvia miltiorrhiza and Dalbergiae odoriferae have good therapeutic effects on MI. Sclareol in Salvia miltiorrhiza and formononetin in Dalbergiae odoriferae regulate the expressions of KDR and PTGS2, respectively, to modulate the inflammatory response, angiogenesis, oxidative stress and energy metabolism and thus produce myocardial protective effects.

Abstract
Plant-based milk-like products from soybeans and other legumes and nuts have been explored worldwide, owing to their nutritional and functional characteristics. This study was conducted to develop new functional food materials from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) milk (PM) with desirable health functions to mitigate lifestyle and age-related diseases. The antioxidant, anti-glycation and bile acid-lowering properties of PM fermented with lactic acid bacteria Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Kinko-SU4 (FPM) were determined in vitro. L. plantarum Kinko-SU4 lowered the pH level from 6.4 to 4.3, 3.9, and 3.7 at 10, 24, and 48 h, respectively. The lactic acid concentration was 4.4 mg/mL after 48 h of incubation. The starter degraded the dissolved proteins in PM, including Ara h 1, one of the peanut allergens. Although the total phenolic content was 36% lower in FPM than in unfermented PM, O2− radical-scavenging capacity was high in FPM. Anti-glycation in a bovine serum albumin-fructose model and the bile acid-lowering capacities of PM were distinctly increased following fermentation. The result of this study infers that PM fermented with L. plantarum Kinko-SU4 can be considered a desirable food material to prevent and ameliorate chronic lifestyle diseases, particularly in the elderly. Peanut milk (PM) was fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Kinko-SU4 (FPM). Compared with PM, O2- radical-scavenging capacity was high in FPM. Anti-glycation capacity in the BSA-fructose model was also high in FPM. The Deoxycholic acid-lowering capacity of PM was also increased by the fermentation.
