Cell-based regenerative strategies for treatment of diabetic skin wounds, a comparative study between human umbilical cord blood-mononuclear cells and calves' blood haemodialysate. PLoS One 2014; 9:e89853.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes-related foot problems are bound to increase. However, medical therapies for wound care are limited; therefore, the need for development of new treatment modalities to improve wound healing in diabetic patients is essential and constitutes an emerging field of investigation. METHODS Animals were randomly divided into 8 groups (I-VIII) (32 rats/group), all were streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetics except groups III and VIII were non-diabetic controls. The study comprised two experiments; the first included 3 groups. Group I injected with mononuclear cells (MNCs) derived from human umbilical cord blood (HUCB), group II a diabetic control group (PBS i.v). The second experiment included 5 groups, groups IV, V, and VI received topical HUCB-haemodialysate (HD), calves' blood HD, and solcoseryl, respectively. Group VII was the diabetic control group (topical saline). Standard circular wounds were created on the back of rats. A sample of each type of HD was analyzed using the high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) system. Wound area measurement and photography were carried out every 4 days. Plasma glucose, catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and platelets count were assessed. Wound samples were excised for hydroxyproline (HP) and histopathological study. RESULTS Treatment with HUCB MNCs or HUCB-HD resulted in wound contraction, increased CAT, NO, platelets count, body weights, and HP content, and decreased MDA and glucose. CONCLUSION Systemic administration of HUCB MNCs and topical application of the newly prepared HUCB-HD or calves' blood HD significantly accelerated the rate of diabetic wound healing and would open the possibility of their future use in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of actovegin in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial, 567 patients with type 2 diabetes received 20 intravenous infusions of actovegin (2,000 mg/day) (n = 281) or placebo (n = 286) once daily followed by three tablets of actovegin (1,800 mg/day) or placebo three times daily for 140 days. Total symptom score (TSS) of the lower limbs and vibration perception threshold (VPT) were used as coprimary outcome measures, computed as the area under the curve (AUC) from repeated scores and divided by duration of exposure. Secondary end points included individual TSS symptoms, neuropathy impairment score of the lower limbs (NIS-LL), and quality of life (short form [SF]-36). RESULTS TSS was significantly improved during actovegin treatment compared with placebo, as assessed by AUC (-0.56 points [95% CI -0.85 to -0.27]; P = 0.0003), and from baseline to 160 days (-0.86 points [-1.22 to -0.50]; P < 0.0001). VPT (five sites per foot) decreased by 3% (95% CI 0-6; P = 0.084) with actovegin than placebo, as assessed by AUC, and by 5% (1-9; P = 0.017) after 160 days. NIS-LL sensory function, as assessed by AUC, was significantly improved with actovegin versus placebo (-0.25 [95% CI -0.46 to -0.04]; P = 0.021), as was the SF-36 mental health domain. There were no differences in the incidence of adverse events between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Sequential intravenous and oral actovegin treatment over 160 days improved neuropathic symptoms, VPT, sensory function, and quality of life in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic polyneuropathy.

Abstract
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is poorly active in circulating lymphocytes of NIDDM patients; in vitro, it is unresponsive to insulin at 5 microU/ml and activated at 50 microU/ml, instead of activated and inhibited as in healthy controls. This study examines whether healthy offspring of NIDDM patients with a family history for this disease have these alterations. Twenty seven healthy offspring (23+/-10 yr, median 18 yr) and their parents (13 diabetic with a family history for NIDDM and 11 healthy without this history) were enrolled. Twenty healthy individuals without the history and matched for age and gender with the offspring served as controls. Minimum levels for enzyme activity before and after cell stimulation with insulin at 5 microU/ml were computed for a 95% CI with no more than 5% of the controls excluded. Increased or unvaried enzyme activity in response to insulin at 50 microU/ml was defined as abnormal. All NIDDM parents and 11/27 offspring had below normal enzyme activity and defective and reversed enzyme response to insulin at 5 and 50 microU/ml; three offspring had altered enzyme response to insulin at both concentrations, four to insulin at 5 microU/ml, three to insulin at 50 microU/ml and six, together with the healthy parents, had no alterations. We conclude that in healthy individuals a family history for NIDDM is frequently signaled, irrespective of age, by molecular derangements, with an apparent genetic background, in their circulating lymphocytes.

Abstract
AIMS In circulating lymphocytes of NIDDM patients pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), the major determinant in glucose consumption through oxidative pathways, is poorly active. The aim of this study is to examine whether sulphonylurea drug treatment revives PDH activity in circulating lymphocytes from NIDDM patients. METHODS Twenty normal-weight individuals with NIDDM were enrolled in this study. They had maintained their glycaemic levels close to normal by means of a restricted diet that had no longer been successful in the proceeding 2 months. The treatment protocol consisted in 160 mg gliclazide daily for 5 weeks. Twenty healthy subjects, matched for age, body mass index and gender, were enrolled as a control group. Patients, before and after treatment, as well as controls were tested for PDH activity in their circulating lymphocytes. Nine other untreated patients and nine healthy subjects, with the above mentioned characteristics, were recruited for the assay of PDH activity in their circulating lymphocytes before and after exposure, in vitro, to gliclazide, to insulin, and to gliclazide and insulin in combination. RESULTS In gliclazide-treated NIDDM patients, PDH activity in circulating lymphocytes recovered. In vitro, in circulating lymphocytes of untreated patients and controls insulin at 5 microU ml(-1) was ineffective and highly effective, respectively, in raising enzyme activity; gliclazide at 10 ng ml(-1) was ineffective on PDH in both groups, but in combination with insulin at 5 microU ml(-1) in both groups PDH was as active as in cells of controls exposed to insulin only. In cells of controls, gliclazide alone at 25-50 ng ml(-1) caused enzyme activation, whereas above 50 ng ml(-1) it caused inhibition; in cells of patients below 50 ng ml(-1) it had no effects, but at 50 ng ml(-1) and above raised enzyme activity to the basal level of controls. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that free gliclazide concentrations determine recovery of PDH activity in circulating lymphocytes of treated patients through drug-mediated enhanced insulin control over PDH or through the drug alone.

Abstract
The molecular pathways for insulin's signal transduction from its cell surface receptor to the cell's interior metabolic machinery remain in many ways uncharted. Lately two molecules have been proposed as second messengers transducing the insulin signal into the target cell. One is a phospho-oligosaccharide/inositolphosphoglycan and the other is diacylglycerol, both deriving from the same plasma membrane glycolipid, which is hydrolysed in response to insulin treatment. The phospho-oligosaccharide appears to mediate many metabolic effects of insulin through control of the phosphorylation state of key regulatory metabolic enzymes. Diacylglycerol may mediate insulin's stimulation of glucose transport over the plasma membrane. The glycolipid precursor of these putative second messengers, as well as the receptor for insulin, appear to be localized in caveolae microdomains of the plasma membrane, and glucose transporters accumulate in caveolae in response to insulin treatment, suggesting a focal role for caveolae in insulin signalling.

Abstract
The discovery of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) molecules and their products has given new insight into the field of signal transduction. In the last decade a novel mechanism of protein attachment to membranes has emerged, which involves a covalent linkage of the protein to the glycan moiety of a GPI. The discovery that GPI-anchored proteins are ubiquitous throughout the eukaryotes was followed by the observation that uncomplexed GPI molecules are implicated in signal transduction for a diversity of hormones and growth factors. The hydrolysis of free-GPI generates a novel second messenger: the inositol phosphoglycan (IPG). The aim of this article is to review the role of IPG and IPG-like molecules in signal transduction and to discuss future research directions.

Abstract
cAMP-binding ectoprotein (Gce1) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are anchored to plasma membranes of rat adipocytes by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) moieties as demonstrated by cleavage by bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), reactivity with anti-crossreacting determinant antibodies (anti-CRD), and metabolic labeling with radiolabeled palmitic acid and myo-inositol. Quantitative release from the membrane of LPL and Gce1 requires both lipolytic removal of their GPI anchors and the presence of either 2 M NaCl or 1 mM inositol 1,2-cyclic monophosphate or inositol 1-monophosphate. PI-PLC-cleaved and released LPL or Gce1 reassociates with isolated plasma membranes of rat adipocytes and, less efficiently, with membranes of 3T3 fibroblasts. The specificity of the reassociation is demonstrated (i) by its inhibition after pretreatment of the membranes with trypsin, (ii) by its competition with inositol 1,2-cyclic monophosphate and inositol 1-monophosphate in a concentration-dependent manner, and (iii) by the limited number of binding sites. Enzymic or chemical removal as well as masking with anti-CRD antibodies of the terminal inositol (cyclic) monophosphate moiety of hydrophilic Gce1 and LPL significantly impairs the reassociation. These data suggest that in rat adipocytes GPI-proteins are not readily released from the cell surface upon lipolytic cleavage, but remain associated through a receptor which specifically recognizes the terminal inositol (cyclic) monophosphate epitope of the (G)PI-PLC-cleaved GPI moiety. This interaction may have implications for the regulated membrane release of GPI-proteins and for their possible internalization.

Abstract
In the present investigation, a hCG sensitive glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) was isolated from cultured rat granulosa cells obtained from the ovaries of diethylstilbestrol (DES) implanted immature rats. The inositol-phosphoglycan (IPG) moiety of the GPI-lipid contains galactose, glucosamine, and myoinositol as demonstrated by metabolic labelling of granulosa cells for different time periods (5-96 h) with [3H]galactose, [3H]glucosamine, or [3H]myoinositol and treatment of the purified [3H]GPI with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Labelling equilibrium of the GPI-lipid was achieved after 24 h ([3H]galactose and [3H]myoinositol) or 72 h ([3H]glucosamine) incubation, whereas incorporation of other labelled carbohydrates tested ([3H]galactosamine, [3H]mannose, and [3H]sorbitol) was negligible throughout the time period studied. The glucosamine C-1 appears to be linked through a glycosidic bond to the myoinositol molecule of the IPG moiety as revealed by the generation of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) after nitrous acid deamination of dual labelled ([3H]glucosamine/[14C]palmitate or [3H]glucosamine/[14C]myristate) glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol. To investigate the fatty acid composition of the diacylglycerol (DAG) backbone of the GPI, granulosa cells were also labelled (5-72 hr) with [14C]linoleate, [3H]myristate, [3H]oleate, [3H]palmitate, or [3H]stearate and the radioactivity associated with the purified glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol determined. Incorporation of [3H]palmitate and [3H]myristate into the GPI-lipid peaked after 8 h and 24 h of labelling, respectively, and both fatty acids were partially released after PLA2 treatment of the dual labelled ([3H]glucosamine/[14C]palmitate or [3H]glucosamine/[14C]myristate) GPI. In parallel experiments no significant incorporation of labelled stearate, oleate, or linoleic acid into the DAG backbone of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol could be detected. Granulosa cells were also labelled with [3H]glucosamine in the presence of FSH (30 ng/ml), cholera toxin (1 microgram/ml), or the membrane permeable cAMP analog (but)2cAMP (1 mM). Time related increases in GPI-labelling were apparent after 48 h and reached a maximum level (3-, 5-, and 7-fold for FSH, CT, and (but)2cAMP, respectively) after 72 h in culture. In another set of experiments, granulosa cells were labelled for 72 h with [3H]glucosamine in the presence of (but)2cAMP (1 mM), TPA (10(-7) M), or combination thereof. The effect of treatment with the membrane permeable cAMP analog on GPI labelling was prevented in the presence of TPA, whereas no differences in [3H]GPI content could be observed in untreated granulosa cells or cells cultured in the presence of the protein kinase C-activating phorbol ester alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
An inositol-phosphate glycan (InsP glycan), which is the polar head group of an insulin-sensitive glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (glycosyl-PtdIns), has been reported to mimic some insulin actions when added to different types of cells. In connection with this, a specific, time-dependent and energy-dependent transport system for this InsP glycan has been identified in isolated rat hepatocytes [Alvarez, J. F., Sánchez-Arias, J. A., Guadaño, A., Estevez, F., Varela, I., Felíu, J. E. & Mato, J.M. (1991) Biochem. J. 274, 369-374]. Here we have investigated the glycosyl-PtdIns-dependent insulin-signalling system in hepatocytes isolated from either 3-month-old or 24-month-old rats. Aging reduced the stimulatory effect of insulin on [U-14C]glucose incorporation into glycogen, caused a significant decrease in basal glycosyl-PtdIns levels and blocked the insulin-mediated hydrolysis of this lipid. In 24-month-old rats, we also observed a diminution in the rate of hepatocyte InsP-glycan uptake and a marked reduction of the stimulatory effect of this compound on glycogen synthesis. These results support the hypothesis that insulin resistance associated with aging is accompanied by an impairment of the glycosyl-PtdIns-dependent cellular signalling system.

Abstract
This report shows that the cyclic AMP antagonist cyclic PIP is present in all organs and tissues of the rat so far examined: brain, heart, lung, intestine, kidney, liver, spleen, skeletal muscle and fat. The synthesis of cyclic PIP is stimulated by insulin or noradrenaline (alpha-adrenergic action) in a dose-dependent fashion. Increasing cyclic PIP synthesis with increasing insulin concentrations matches the insulin receptor binding curves. Cyclic PIP levels in blood serum remain low after hormonal stimulation and no cyclic PIP can be detected in urine. As an indication of its ubiquity, cyclic PIP was even detected in yeast. Prostaglandin E (as shown by incorporation of [3H]PGE into cyclic PIP and demonstration of a constant specific activity), myo-inositol (as shown by acid hydrolysis of the dephosphorylated cyclic PIP and mass spectrometric identification of the products) and one phosphate (as shown by the ionic nature of cyclic PIP and its inactivation by phosphodiesterase plus phosphatase) are components of cyclic PIP. Chemical derivatization experiments of cyclic PIP suggest the phosphate to be bound to myo-inositol and the myo-inositol phosphate to the prostaglandin E by its C15-hydroxyl group.

Abstract
We studied the effects of insulin on the turnover of glucosamine-labeled lipids in embryonic RAT fibroblasts that overexpressed either normal human insulin receptors or insulin receptors with defective tyrosine kinase domains. Fractionation of organic extracts by thin layer chromatography in chloroform/acetone/methanol/acetic acid/water (50/20/10/10/5, v/v) revealed two insulin-sensitive glucosaminyl lipid fractions, the TLC origin (the Rf 0.0 fraction) and a fraction that migrated with Rf 0.18-0.2 (the Rf 0.2 fraction). The insulin-sensitive molecules in both fractions could also be labeled with D-[6-3H]galactose, but not with myo-[2-3H]inositol. Methanolysis and exposure to methylamine, phospholipase A2, or phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC destroyed the insulin-sensitive lipids in the Rf 0.0 fraction, but had no effect on the Rf 0.2 fraction lipid. The Rf 0.2 fraction lipid was destroyed by endoglycoceraminidase. Insulin caused a rapid loss of label from the Rf 0.0 fraction and an equally rapid increased labeling of the Rf 0.2 fraction, with similar time courses and dependencies on insulin concentration. The turnover of both lipids exhibited the same the insulin dose-response characteristics in cultures which overexpressed insulin receptors with defective tyrosine kinase domains as in cultures that overexpressed normal human insulin receptors. This result supports the conclusions that a number of signaling pathways diverge from the insulin receptor and that not all of those pathways are regulated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
Insulin action is thought to be mediated by an inositol-, glucosamine- and galactose-containing oligosaccharide liberated by phosphodiesterase hydrolysis of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol. This oligosaccharide inhibits insulin biosynthesis and secretion in pancreatic islets. In the present study, two main glycolipids (peak I and II) were resolved by sequential TLC of lipids extracted from islet cells labelled with tritiated glucosamine, galactose or myristate. The two glycolipids displayed comparable sensitivity to beta-galactosidase but differed from one another by their sensitivity to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Moreover, structural heterogeneity within each peak was suggested by their partial resistance to nitrous acid deamination. These findings support the presence in islet cells of glycolipids similar to those currently considered as a possible postreceptor target for insulin in other cell types.

Abstract
Pituitary growth hormone (GH) functions physiologically to oppose the actions of insulin on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism by interfering with metabolic events that occur after insulin binds to its receptor. Which postreceptor effects are involved is presently unknown. Recently, we found that insulin rapidly stimulates a phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C (PI-PLC) in adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice and that this effect of insulin is blocked by treatment of the animals with S-carboxymethylated human GH (RCM-hGH), a derivative having mainly anti-insulin activity. The activation of this PI-PLC by insulin is also inhibited by pertussis toxin. Thus, this study was performed to examine whether the inhibitory effect of GH on the activation of this PI-PLC is exerted at the level of signal transmission by guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins). We found that the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, stimulated basal PI-PLC activity in plasma membranes of adipose tissue of saline-treated ob/ob mice, but it did not stimulate the enzyme in adipose membranes from RCM-hGH-treated mice. Also, RCM-hGH treatment markedly inhibited pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP ribosylation of G protein alpha subunits in the membranes, suggesting some modification of the G proteins by GH. Immunoblot analysis of adipose membranes from saline- and RCM-hGH-treated mice using antiserum AS/7 (anti-Gi1 alpha and anti-Gi2 alpha) or antiserum EC/2 (anti-Gi3 alpha) showed no difference in the amount of Gi alpha-like protein between the groups. These findings suggest that GH interferes with the ability of a putative Gi-like protein to mediate the activation of PI-PLC in adipose membranes without altering the expression of the G protein.

The addition to intact cells of an inositol phospho-oligosaccharide (POS), which is the polar head-group of an insulin-sensitive glycosylphosphatidylinositol, mimics and may mediate some of the biological effects of this hormone. Here we report the existence of a POS transport system in hepatocytes. This POS transport system is specific and time- and dose-dependent. Insulin-resistance caused by dexamethasone administration to rats was accompanied by a decrease in the hepatocyte POS transport system. In contrast, bilateral adrenalectomy provoked a significant increase in the transport of POS. Both the temporal uptake of POS and the regulation of this process by conditions known to modify the sensitivity to insulin suggest that this novel transport system might be involved in the insulin signalling mechanism.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the past few years on the chemistry and biology of insulin and its receptor, the molecular events that couple the insulin-receptor interaction to the regulation of cellular metabolism remain uncertain. Progress in this area has been complicated by the pleiotropic nature of insulin's actions. These most likely involve a complex network of pathways resulting in the coordination of mechanistically distinct cellular effects. Since the well-recognized mechanisms of signal transduction (i.e., cyclic nucleotides, ion channels) appear not to be central to insulin action, investigators have searched for a novel second messenger system. A low-molecular-weight substance has been identified that mimics certain actions of insulin on metabolic enzymes. This substance has an inositol glycan structure, and is produced by the insulin-sensitive hydrolysis of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol in the plasma membrane. This hydrolysis reaction, which is catalyzed by a specific phospholipase C, also results in the production of a structurally distinct diacylglycerol that may selectively regulate one or more of the protein kinases C. The glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol precursor for the inositol glycan enzyme modulator is structurally analogous to the recently described glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol membrane protein anchor. Preliminary studies suggest that a subset of proteins anchored in this fashion might be released from cells by a similar insulin-sensitive, phospholipase-catalyzed reaction. Future efforts will focus on the precise role of the metabolism of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositols in insulin action.

Abstract
It has been recently demonstrated that insulin promotes the hydrolysis of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol, stimulating the release of a phospho-oligosaccharide which displays several insulin-like effects. In the present study we have investigated whether the compound is able to mimic insulin action on glucose metabolism in human fibroblasts. Similarly to the hormone, the phospho-oligosaccharide elicited a dose dependent increase in lactate output and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content. The effect of the compound was time dependent with a progressive increase starting from 2 hours of incubation. 1 microM phospho-oligosaccharide had half maximal effect on both parameters, increasing glycolytic flux by approximately 30% and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content by 70%. Therefore the phospho-oligosaccharide appears to be able to strictly reproduce insulin action on glucose metabolism in human fibroblasts.

Abstract
Insulin resistance caused by dexamethasone administration to rats was accompanied by a marked decrease in the hepatocyte content of an insulin-sensitive glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol, as well as by a blockade of its hydrolysis in response to this hormone. In contrast, bilateral adrenalectomy provoked a significant increase of the cellular glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol levels. Under all the assayed metabolic conditions, a close direct correlation was established between the basal content of this compound and the number of insulin receptors present in the isolated hepatocytes.

Abstract
The molecular events involved in coupling the insulin receptor to the regulation of cellular metabolism remain unknown. Recent studies indicate that some of insulin's actions may be mediated by a novel oligosaccharide. This molecule is generated in cells by the insulin-dependent hydrolysis of a novel membrane glycolipid, termed a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol. This glycolipid is structurally similar to a newly described protein anchor. The evaluation of the hormonal regulation of this new glycolipid may yield information on a new mechanism of signal transduction.

Abstract
The effect of insulin on ATP citrate lyase phosphorylation has been shown to be mimicked by a phospho-oligosaccharide in intact adipocytes. We demonstrate that the addition of phospho-oligosaccharide to intact adipocytes enhances the phosphorylation of ATP citrate lyase in the same tryptic peptide as insulin does. The addition of phospho-oligosaccharide to an adipocyte extract also results in an increase in ATP citrate lyase phosphorylation but in a different site than that observed in intact cells. The phospho-oligosaccharide-dependent incorporation of phosphate into ATP citrate lyase in intact cells is resistant to isopropanol and acetic acid, but the phosphoenzyme phosphorylated in cell extracts is acid labile. In cell extracts, the addition of phospho-oligosaccharide markedly inhibits ATP hydrolysis, which may explain the effect of this molecule on ATP citrate lyase phosphorylation in broken cells. These results support the hypothesis that this phospho-oligosaccharide mediates some of the effects of insulin on protein phosphorylation. They also indicate that caution should be exercised in interpreting the results obtained by adding phospho-oligosaccharide to broken cell preparations.

Abstract
Insulin releases inositol phosphoglycans from myocytes in culture [(1986) Science 233, 967-972], which display insulinomimetic activity. Because 5'-nucleotidase is anchored to the membrane through inositol-containing phospholipid glycans, we investigated whether insulin could release the enzyme from the membrane. Membranes prepared from hindquarter muscles of rats perfused with insulin showed a 23% decrease in 5'-nucleotidase activity. Isolated membranes from muscle exposed to insulin in vitro also showed a small but reproducible decrease (9%) in 5'-nucleotidase activity relative to unexposed controls. Phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus released 60% of the membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase. We propose that insulin may activate an endogenous phospholipase C that cleaves phospholipid-glycan-anchored proteins.
