Abstract
Exosomes are promising nanocarriers for drug delivery. Yet, it is challenging to apply exosomes in clinical use due to the limited understanding of their physiological functions. While cellular uptake of exosomes is generally known through endocytosis and/or membrane fusion, the mechanisms of origin-dependent cellular uptake and subsequent cargo release of exosomes into recipient cells are still unclear. Herein, we investigated the intricate mechanisms of exosome entry into recipient cells and intracellular cargo release. In this study, we utilized chiral graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as representatives of exosomal cargo, taking advantage of the superior permeability of chiral GQDs into lipid membranes as well as their excellent optical properties for tracking analysis. We observed that the preferential cellular uptake of exosomes derived from the same cell-of-origin (intraspecies exosomes) is higher than that of exosomes derived from different cell-of-origin (cross-species exosomes). This uptake enhancement was attributed to receptor-ligand interaction-mediated endocytosis, as we identified the expression of specific ligands on exosomes that favorably interact with their parental cells and confirmed the higher lysosomal entrapment of intraspecies exosomes (intraspecies endocytic uptake). On the other hand, we found that the uptake of cross-species exosomes primarily occurred through membrane fusion, followed by direct cargo release into the cytosol (cross-species direct fusion uptake). We revealed the underlying mechanisms involved in the cellular uptake and subsequent cargo release of exosomes depending on their cell-of-origin and recipient cell types. Overall, this study envisions valuable insights into further advancements in effective drug delivery using exosomes, as well as a comprehensive understanding of cellular communication, including disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) regulate multiple signaling pathways. Disruption of tyrosine phosphorylation through imbalanced action between protein tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and PTPs is a hallmark of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance. A representative member of the receptor-type PTP family, PTPRJ (DEP-1), was previously identified as a negative regulator of insulin signaling and possesses post-translational glycosylation sites. In this regard, it seems of great importance to decipher the structure of PTPRJ's glycosylation, particularly in the context of metabolic disturbances, but this has not been done in detail. Thus, here we aimed at characterizing the glycosylation pattern of PTPRJ in liver. We show that N-glycosylation accounts for up to half of PTPRJ's molecular weight. Applying mass spectrometry, we detected increased levels of high-mannose structures in PTPRJ in liver tissue of obese mice compared to lean littermates. In addition, complex neutral structures without fucose were also elevated in PTPRJ of high-fat diet (HFD) mice. Conversely, complex fucosylated N-glycans as well as sialylated bi- and triantennary N-glycans, were significantly reduced in PTPRJ of HFD-derived liver tissue compared to LFD by ∼two fold (P≤.01, P≤.0001 and P≤.001, respectively). In congruence with these findings, the mannosidase MAN2A1, responsible for the conversion of high-mannose to complex N-glycans, was significantly downregulated under HFD conditions. Here we present for the first time that HFD-induced obesity impacts on the glycosylation pattern of the insulin signaling component PTPRJ in liver. These findings may inspire new research on the glycosylation of PTPs in metabolic diseases and may open up new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
A novel antidiabetic glycoprotein (PG) was isolated and purified from Porphyra haitanensis, and its structure and inhibiting activity on α-amylase and α-glucosidase were analyzed. The purity of the PG was 95.29 ± 0.21%, and its molecular weight was 163.024 ± 5.55 kDa. The PG had a tetramer structure with α- and β-subunits, and it contained 54.12 ± 0.86% protein (with highly hydrophobic amino acids) and 41.19% ± 0.64% carbohydrate (composed of galactose). The PG was linked via an O-glycosidic bond, exhibiting an α-helical structure and high stability. In addition, the PG inhibited the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, by changing the enzyme's structure toward the PG's structure in a noncompetitive inhibition mode. Molecular docking results showed that the PG inhibited α-amylase activity by hydrophobic interaction, whereas it inhibited α-glucosidase activity by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction. Overall, the PG was linked to polysaccharides via O-glycosidic bonds, showing an α-helical configuration and a hydrophobic effect, which altered the configuration of α-amylase and α-glucosidase and exerted hypoglycemic activity. This study provides insights into analyzing the structure and antidiabetic activity of glycoproteins.

Abstract
The body can host the spread of prostate cancer cells. Metastases from prostate cancer are more frequently seen in the brain, liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. A well-known antidiabetic drug, metformin, is also known to have antitumor effects. Our study focuses on the evaluation of potential metformin protective effects on brain and cerebellum damage in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic and Dunning prostate cancer models. In this investigation, six groups of male Copenhagen rats were created: control, diabetic (D), cancer (C), diabetic + cancer (DC), cancer + metformin, and diabetic + cancer + metformin. The brain and cerebellum tissues of the rats were taken after sacrifice. Oxidative stress markers including reduced glutathione level, lipid peroxidation, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase activities, reactive oxygen species, total oxidant and total antioxidant status, lactate dehydrogenase, xanthine oxidase, acetylcholinesterase activities, protein carbonyl contents, nitric oxide and OH-proline levels, sodium potassium ATPase, carbonic anhydrase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities; glycoprotein levels including hexose, hexosamine, fucose, and sialic acid levels; and histone deacetylase activity as a cancer marker were determined. Oxidative stress markers were impaired and glycoprotein levels and histone deacetylase activity were increased in the D, C, and DC groups. Metformin therapy reversed these effects. Metformin was found to protect the brain and cerebellum of STZ-induced diabetic rats with Dunning prostate cancer from harm caused by MAT-Lylu metastatic cells.

Abstract
The hypoglycemic activity of natural algal glycoproteins has attracted interest, but studies of their mechanism of regulating glucose metabolism are lacking. This study investigated the hypoglycemic activity of Porphyra haitanensis glycoprotein (PG) in a mouse hyperglycemia model. The underlying mechanism was elucidated by monitoring changes in the gut microbiome and untargeted serum metabolomics. The results indicated that 30-300 mg kg-1 PG regulated blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion, reducing glycated hemoglobin, and improving streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia in a concentration-dependent manner. In particular, 300 mg kg-1 PG decreased fasting blood glucose by 63.11% and glycosylated hemoglobin by 24.50% and increased insulin secretion by 163.97%. The mechanism of the improvement of hyperglycemia by PG may involve regulating beneficial intestinal bacteria (e.g., norank_f__Muribaculaceae and Lachnospiraceae) and altering the serum metabolic profile (e.g., upregulation of hypotaurine, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and L-glycine), to regulate taurine and hypotaurine, the TCA cycle, AMPK, and pyruvate metabolism. Our findings supported the development of Porphyra haitanensis and its glycoprotein as novel natural antidiabetic compounds to regulate the glycemic balance.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) commonly co-occur. T2DM increases the risk for AD by approximately twofold. Animal models provide one means of interrogating the relationship of T2DM to AD and investigating brain insulin resistance in the pathophysiology of AD. Animal models show that persistent hyperglycaemia results in chronic low-grade inflammation that may contribute to the development of neuroinflammation and accelerate the pathobiology of AD. Epidemiological studies suggest that patients with T2DM who received treatment with specific anti-diabetic agents have a decreased risk for the occurrence of AD and all-cause dementia. Agents such as metformin ameliorate T2DM and may have other important systemic effects that lower the risk of AD. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists have been associated with a decreased risk for AD in patients with T2DM. Both insulin and non-insulin anti-diabetic treatments have been evaluated for the treatment of AD in clinical trials. In most cases, patients included in the trials have clinical features of AD but do not have T2DM. Many of the trials were conducted prior to the use of diagnostic biomarkers for AD. Trials have had a wide range of durations and population sizes. Many of the agents used to treat T2DM do not cross the blood brain barrier, and the effects are posited to occur via lowering of peripheral hyperglycaemia and reduction of peripheral and central inflammation. Clinical trials of anti-diabetic agents to treat AD are ongoing and will provide insight into the therapeutic utility of these agents.

Abstract
Involvement of NOX-dependent oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders as well as in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis has been demonstrated previously. In the present study, the metabolic profile in p47phox-/- and WT mice fed on a chow diet was evaluated to assess the role of metabolites in glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia under altered oxidative stress conditions. p47phox-/- mice displayed glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), hyperinsulinemia, and altered energy homeostasis without any significant change in gluconeogenesis. The expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis and uptake was enhanced in the liver, adipose tissue, and intestine tissues. Similarly, the expression of genes associated with lipid efflux in the liver and intestine was also enhanced. Enhanced gut permeability, inflammation, and shortening of the gut was evident in p47phox-/- mice. Circulating levels of pyrimidines, phosphatidylglycerol lipids, and 3-methyl-2-oxindole were augmented, while level of purine was reduced in the serum. Moreover, the cecal metabolome was also altered, as was evident with the increase in indole-3-acetamide, N-acetyl galactosamine, glycocholate, and a decrease in hippurate, indoxyl sulfate, and indigestible sugars (raffinose and melezitose). Treatment of p47phox-/- mice with pioglitazone, marginally improved glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia, with an increase in PUFAs (linoleate, docosahexaenoic acid, and arachidonic acid). Overall, the results obtained in p47phox-/- mice indicate an association of IR and dyslipidemia with altered serum and cecal metabolites (both host and bacterial-derived), implying a critical role of NOX-derived ROS in metabolic homeostasis.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a decrease in renal function or glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and proteinuria is often present. Proteinuria increases with age and can be caused by glomerular and/or proximal tubule (PT) alterations. PT cells have an apical brush border membrane (BBM), which is a highly dynamic, organized, and specialized membrane region containing multiple glycoproteins required for its functions including regulating uptake, secretion, and signaling dependent upon the physiologic state. PT disorders contribute to the dysfunction observed in CKD. Many glycoprotein functions have been attributed to their N- and O-glycans, which are highly regulated and complex. In this study, the O-glycans present in rat BBMs from animals with different levels of kidney disease and proteinuria were characterized and analyzed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). A principal component analysis (PCA) documented that each group has distinct O-glycan distributions. Higher fucosylation levels were observed in the CKD and diabetic groups, which may contribute to PT dysfunction by altering physiologic glycoprotein interactions. Fucosylated O-glycans such as 1-1-1-0 exhibited higher abundance in the severe proteinuric groups. These glycomic results revealed that differential O-glycan expressions in CKD progressions has the potential to define the mechanism of proteinuria in kidney disease and to identify potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Experimenters face challenges and limitations while analyzing glycoproteins due to their high flexibility, stereochemistry, anisotropic effects, and hydration phenomena. Computational studies complement experiments and have been used in characterization of the structural properties of glycoproteins. However, recent investigations revealed that computational studies face significant challenges as well. Here, we introduce and discuss some of these challenges and weaknesses in the investigations of glycoproteins. We also present requirements of future developments in computational biochemistry and computational biology areas that could be necessary for providing more accurate structural property analyses of glycoproteins using computational tools. Further theoretical strategies that need to be and can be developed are discussed herein.
