Mechanisms Linking COPD to Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Is There a Relationship between Diabetes and COPD? Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58081030.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients frequently suffer from multiple comorbidities, resulting in poor outcomes for these patients. Diabetes is observed at a higher frequency in COPD patients than in the general population. Both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with pulmonary complications, and similar therapeutic strategies are proposed to treat these conditions. Epidemiological studies and disease models have increased our knowledge of these clinical associations. Several recent genome-wide association studies have identified positive genetic correlations between lung function and obesity, possibly due to alterations in genes linked to cell proliferation; embryo, skeletal, and tissue development; and regulation of gene expression. These studies suggest that genetic predisposition, in addition to weight gain, can influence lung function. Cigarette smoke exposure can also influence the differential methylation of CpG sites in genes linked to diabetes and COPD, and smoke-related single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with resting heart rate and coronary artery disease. Despite the vast literature on clinical disease association, little direct mechanistic evidence is currently available demonstrating that either disease influences the progression of the other, but common pharmacological approaches could slow the progression of these diseases. Here, we review the clinical and scientific literature to discuss whether mechanisms beyond preexisting conditions, lifestyle, and weight gain contribute to the development of COPD associated with diabetes. Specifically, we outline environmental and genetic confounders linked with these diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a strong social impact worldwide. Under chronic hyperglycemia, protein glycation strongly contributes to diabetes-related complications onset. Anti-glycation agents and inhibitors of α-glucosidase are often therapeutically used to control postprandial glycemia in order to prevent development of long-term diabetic complications. Given drug resistance and adverse effects of conventional antidiabetic therapies, the discovery of new effective and non-toxic naturally occurring compounds is needed to prevent and/or to manage life-threatening diabetic complications. Annona cherimola Miller fruit has been used in Mexican traditional medicine as natural remedy against diabetes. In this work, the in vitro anti-glycation and anti-α-glucosidase roles of Annona cherimola Miller pulp extract (CE) were investigated. Moreover, healthy and diabetic subjects were enrolled in a cross-over design intervention study aimed at investigating the effects of pulp intake on postprandial glycemia. This work shows that CE was able to inhibit albumin glycation in vitro and to inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme. Furthermore, the pulp intake did not contribute to an increase in postprandial glycemia, making it a suitable source of health-promoting phytonutrients and a potential functional food in diabetics and pre-diabetics diet.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The marine plant Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile is traditionally used by villagers of the west coast of Anatolia as a remedy for diabetes and hypertension. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to explore the role of the P. oceanica hydroalcoholic leaves extract (POE) against human serum albumin glycation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were obtained with the albumin-glucose in vitro assay. The AGEs intrinsic fluorescence intensity and the electrophoretic migration under native conditions allowed us to verify the effective glycation of albumin. The presence of POE during glycation process was intended to evaluate its anti-glycation role. RESULTS POE exhibited a strong in vitro anti-glycation ability which occurred independently from its known antioxidant property. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation properties of POE could be exploited as an effective tool against diabetes and related complications.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study investigated dementia risk associated with metformin use in type 2 diabetes patients by using the reimbursement database of the Taiwan’s National Health Insurance. The patients had new-onset diabetes during 1999-2005 and were followed up until December 31, 2011. An unmatched cohort of 147,729 ever users and 15,676 never users of metformin were identified, and a matched-pair cohort of 15,676 ever users and 15,676 never users was created by propensity score (PS). Hazard ratios were estimated by Cox regression incorporated with the inverse probability of treatment weighting using PS. Results showed that in the unmatched cohort, 713 never users and 3943 ever users developed dementia with respective incidence of 1029.20 and 570.03 per 100,000 person-years. The overall hazard ratio was 0.550 (95% confidence interval: 0.508-0.596). The hazard ratio for the first (<27.0 months), second (27.0-58.1 months) and third (>58.1 months) tertile of cumulative duration of metformin therapy was 0.975 (0.893-1.066), 0.554 (0.506-0.607) and 0.286 (0.259-0.315), respectively. Analyses in the matched cohort showed an overall hazard ratio of 0.707 (0.632-0.791) and the hazard ratio for the respective tertile was 1.279 (1.100-1.488), 0.704 (0.598-0.829) and 0.387 (0.320-0.468). In conclusion, metformin use is associated with a reduced dementia risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate whether metformin can affect risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. METHODS T2D patients newly diagnosed during 1999-2005 were enrolled from the reimbursement database of Taiwan's National Health Insurance system and followed up to 31 December 2011. Analyses were conducted in an unmatched cohort (92,272 ever-users and 10,697 never-users of metformin) and a propensity score (PS) matched pair cohort (10,697 ever-users and 10,697 never-users). Cox regression incorporated into the inverse probability of treatment weighting using the PS was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS In the unmatched cohort, 2573 never-users and 13,840 ever-users developed COPD with respective incidences of 5994.64 and 3393.19 per 100,000 person-years. The overall HR was 0.560 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.537-0.584). HRs for the first (<25.27months), second (25.27-55.97months) and third (>55.97months) tertiles of cumulative duration were 1.021 (0.975-1.070), 0.575 (0.548-0.603) and 0.265 (0.252-0.280), respectively. Analyses of the matched cohort showed an overall HR of 0.643 (0.605-0.682), with HRs of 1.212 (1.122-1.309), 0.631 (0.578-0.689) and 0.305 (0.273-0.340) for the respective tertiles. CONCLUSION A reduced risk of COPD is observed in metformin users with T2D.

Abstract
Protein glycation is initiated by a nucleophilic addition reaction between the free amino group from a protein, lipid or nucleic acid and the carbonyl group of a reducing sugar. This reaction forms a reversible Schiff base, which rearranges over a period of days to produce ketoamine or Amadori products. The Amadori products undergo dehydration and rearrangements and develop a cross-link between adjacent proteins, giving rise to protein aggregation or advanced glycation end products (AGEs). A number of studies have shown that glycation induces the formation of the β-sheet structure in β-amyloid protein, α-synuclein, transthyretin (TTR), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase 1 (Cu, Zn-SOD-1), and prion protein. Aggregation of the β-sheet structure in each case creates fibrillar structures, respectively causing Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, familial amyloid polyneuropathy, and prion disease. It has been suggested that oligomeric species of glycated α-synuclein and prion are more toxic than fibrils. This review focuses on the pathway of AGE formation, the synthesis of different types of AGE, and the molecular mechanisms by which glycation causes various types of neurodegenerative disease. It discusses several new therapeutic approaches that have been applied to treat these devastating disorders, including the use of various synthetic and naturally occurring inhibitors. Modulation of the AGE-RAGE axis is now considered promising in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, the review covers several defense enzymes and proteins in the human body that are important anti-glycating systems acting to prevent the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are the final products of the non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups in proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Recently, the accumulation of AGEs in vivo has been implicated as a major pathogenic process in diabetic complications, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and normal aging. The early recognition of AGEs can ascend to the late 1960s when a non-enzymatic glycation process was found in human body which is similar to the Maillard reaction. To some extent, AGEs can be regarded as products of the Maillard reaction. This review firstly introduces the Maillard reaction, the formation process of AGEs and harmful effects of AGEs to human health. As AGEs can cause undesirable diseases or disorders, it is necessary to investigate AGE inhibitors to offer a potential therapeutic approach for the prevention of diabetic or other pathogenic complications induced by AGEs. Typical effective AGE inhibitors with different inhibition mechanisms are also reviewed in this paper. Both synthetic compounds and natural products have been evaluated as inhibitors against the formation of AGEs. However, considering toxic or side effects of synthetic molecules present in clinical trials, natural products are more promising to be developed as potent AGE inhibitors.

Abstract
The current study was designed to evaluate the effects of silymarin (SM) on advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) formation and monocyte activation induced by S100b, a specific ligand of receptor for AGEs. The in vivo verification of antiglycation, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory capacities was examined by 12 weeks of SM administration in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. In vitro glycation assays demonstrated that SM exerted marked inhibition during the late stages of glycation and subsequent crosslinking. Dual action mechanisms, namely, antioxidant and reactive carbonyl trapping activities, may contribute to its antiglycation effect. SM produced a significant decrease in monocytic interleukin-1β and COX-2 levels and prevented oxidant formation caused by S100b, which appeared to be mediated by inhibition of p47phox membrane translocation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that S100b increased the recruitment of nuclear factor-kappaB transcription factor as well as cAMP response element-binding-binding protein and coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase-1 cofactors to the interleukin-1β promoter, whereas these changes were inhibited with SM treatment. In vivo, SM reduced tissue AGE accumulation, tail collagen crosslinking, and concentrations of plasma glycated albumin. Levels of oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers were also significantly decreased in SM-treated groups compared with the diabetic group. These data suggest that SM supplementation may reduce the burden of AGEs in diabetics and may prevent resulting complications.

Abstract
Activation of circulating monocytes by hyperglycemia is bound to play a role in inflammatory and atherosclerosis. In this study, we examined whether flavonoids (catechin, EGCG, luteolin, quercetin, rutin) - phytochemicals that may possible belong to a new class of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inhibitors - can attenuate high glucose (15 mmol/L, HG)-induced inflammation in human monocytes. Our results show that all flavonoids significantly inhibited HG-induced expression of proinflammatory genes and proteins, including TNF-alpha, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, at a concentration of 20 microM. Flavonoids also prevented oxidative stress in activated monocytes, as demonstrated by their inhibitory effects on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine formation caused by HG. These inhibitory effects may involve inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB activation and may be supported by downregulation of the following: i) PKC-dependent NADPH oxidase pathway; ii) phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, and iii) mRNA expression of receptor of AGEs. In addition, we found for the first time that lower levels of Bcl-2 protein under HG conditions could be countered by the action of flavonoids. Our data suggest that, along with their antioxidant activities, flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory properties and might therefore have additional protective effects against glycotoxin-related inflammation.

Abstract
Chronic cardiovascular and neurodegenerative complications induced by hyperglycemia have been considered to be associated most relevantly with endothelial cell damages (ECD). The protective effects of the aqueous extract of Psidium guajava L. budding leaves (PE) on the ECD in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model were investigated. Results revealed that glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO) resulting from the glycative and autoxidative reactions of the high blood sugar glucose (G) evoked a huge production of ROS and NO, which in turn increased the production of peroxynitrite, combined with the activation of the nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), leading to cell apoptosis. High plasma glucose activated p38-MAPK, and high GO increased the expressions of p38-MAPK and JNK-MAPK, whereas high MGO levels induced the activity of ERK-MAPK. Glucose and dicarbonyl compounds were all found to be good inducers of intracellular PKCs, which together with MAPK acted as the upstream triggering factor to activate NFkappaB. Conclusively, high plasma glucose together with dicarbonyl compounds can trigger the signaling pathways of MAPK and PKC and induce cell apoptosis through ROS and peroxynitrite stimulation and finally by NFkappaB activation. Such effects of PE were ascribed to its high plant polyphenolic (PPP) contents, the latter being potent ROS inhibitors capable of blocking the glycation of proteins, which otherwise could have brought forth severe detrimental effects to the cells.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has shown advanced glycation end products (AGEs) receptor ligation (RAGE) to be an important part of complex interactions of the oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory responses. In this study, flavonoids were used to monitor the protective effects against the oxidative damage and inflammation mediated by AGEs in human monocytes. S100B (RAGE ligand) treatment in human THP-1 monocytic cells (THP-1) significantly increased gene expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta; chemokines MCP-1 and IP-10; adhesion factors platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) and beta2-integrin; and pro-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). S100B treatment with quercetin and catechin in THP-1 cells had inhibitory effects on the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and protein levels. Quercetin and catechin could regulate S100B-activated oxidant stress-sensitive pathways through blocking p47phox protein expression. Treatment with quercetin and catechin could eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reduce oxidative stress stimulated by S100B in THP-1 cells. Quercetin and catechin also showed different regulatory abilities on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways by inhibiting protein expression in S100B-stimulated inflammatory responses in THP-1 cells. This study suggests that quercetin and catechin may be of benefit for diabetic vascular complications due to its antioxidant abilities against AGE-mediated oxidative stress through oxidative stress-sensitive and oxidative stress-responsive signaling pathways, which lead to inflammation in human monocytes.

Abstract
Protein carbonylation induced by reactive carbonyl species (RCS) generated by peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids plays a significant role in the etiology and/or progression of several human diseases, such as cardiovascular (e.g., atherosclerosis, long-term complications of diabetes) and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral ischemia). Most of the biological effects of intermediate RCS, mainly alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, di-aldehydes, and keto-aldehydes, are due to their capacity to react with the nucleophilic sites of proteins, forming advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs). Because of the emerging deleterious role of RCS/protein adducts in several human diseases, different potential therapeutic strategies have been developed in the last few years. This review sheds focus on fundamental studies on lipid-derived RCS generation, their biological effects, and their reactivity with proteins, with particular emphasis to 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE)-, acrolein (ACR)-, malondialdehyde (MDA)-, and glyoxal (GO)-modified proteins. It also discusses the recently developed pharmacological approaches for the management of chronic diseases in which oxidative stress and RCS formation are massively involved. Inhibition of ALE formation, based on carbonyl-sequestering agents, seems to be the most promising pharmacological tool and is reviewed in detail.

Abstract
Understanding the notion of oxidative stress implies a good knowledge of the reactivity of the different reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cell damage can be induced by an overproduction of these species and/or by a deficiency in the protective antioxidant systems. Nevertheless, ROS do not display only deleterious effects and play key-roles in cell signalisation and regulation of the expression of redox sensitive genes. Besides ROS, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) with nitric oxide (*NO) as leader element, are widely involved in biology and lead to the term "nitrosative stress" that particularly describes the damage induced by peroxynitrite, a species formed by reaction between superoxide anion and degrees NO. Nutritional strategies have been based on antioxidant-rich diets, or on supplementation with antioxidants; they could constitute adjunct therapies of interest. Given all these data, radical biochemistry must be considered as a specific discipline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine is an appropriate inhibitor of protein glycation, respectively formation of advanced glycation products, which are connected with mechanism of pathogenesis in chronic diabetic complications. Moreover, it was found that in comparison with aminoguanidine, pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine does not influence the level of vitamin B6 in liver and kidneys in vivo. The aim of this study was to test cytotoxic effect of pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine in vitro, in regard to its potential use as inhibitor of advance protein glycation in diabetic patients. METHODS The potential genotoxic activity of pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine in vitro was assessed by the micronucleus test and the karyological analysis. The direct contact method using diploid human cell line B-HEF-2 was performed to evaluate cytotoxicity. The concentrations of 5 x 10(-3), 2.5 x 10(-3) and 1 x 10(-3) ml/l were used in all tests. RESULTS Microscopic analysis did not proved any changes in morphology of exposed fibroblasts. The inhibitive effect of pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine was increased with rising concentration. The proliferative activity of exposed cells to concentrations of 1 x 10(-3), 2.5 x 10(-3), 5 x 10(-3) mol/l was inhibited approximately by 30%, 60% and 80%, respectively. The frequency of micronuclei and rate of numerical or structural aberrations was not increased. CONCLUSION Obtained results confirmed that pyridoxylidene aminoguanidine in selected concentrations has an inhibitive effect on the proliferation activity of exposed cells, but did not develop any cytotoxic effect on B-HEF-2 cells.

Abstract
The formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), also called the Maillard reaction, occurs ubiquitously and irreversibly in patients with diabetes mellitus, and its consequences are especially relevant to vascular dysfunctions. The interaction of AGEs with their receptors (RAGE) has been implicated in the development of vascular complications. This interaction elicits remarkable vascular cell changes analogous to those observed in diabetes mellitus, including angiogenic and thrombogenic responses of endothelial cells, increased oxidative stress, and functional alterations in vascular tone control. This review focuses on AGEs formation, the interaction with their specific receptors and how the triggered intracellular events determine functional alterations of vascular endothelium. Finally, some potential pharmacological approaches undertaken to circumvent the deleterious effects of AGEs are also discussed.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) is to some extent a physiologic consequence of tissue aging. On the other hand, circulating AGE and tissue deposits mark the course of diabetes mellitus as well as a variety of other vascular or degenerative diseases. AGE generation is paralleled by oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation within target tissue, with features of inflammation through the involvement of monocytes/macrophages expressing receptors for glycated macromolecules. Over the past 15 years, a wealth of data concerning the pharmacology of AGE have been gathered through animal and human investigations, targeting their likely contribution to the progression of diabetic and non-diabetic vascular damage. Several agents have been shown to interfere with the formation of AGE or AGE precursors, bind to tissue receptors, or promote breakdown of deposits. The first and most studied inhibitor, aminoguanidine, has shown extensive beneficial effects in experimental models of diabetic vascular damage, recently entering phase I-III clinical investigation. Newer anti-AGE agents include pyridoxamine and the so-called 'amadorins', cross-link breakers, AGE binders and receptor antagonists.

Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus is an oxidative stress created by an imbalance of prooxidants over antioxidant defenses. The pathogenesis would involve several mechanisms including glucose autoxidation, protein glycation, the polyol pathway, and overproduction of superoxide radicals in mitochondria and via NAD(P)H oxidase. Glycemic equilibrium plays a very important role in the prooxidant/antioxidant balance. Macromolecules such as found in the extracellular matrix, lipoproteins, and deoxyribonucleic acid also constitute targets for free radicals in diabetes mellitus. This oxidative tress is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes complications. The chronic hyperglycemic status also favors glycation reactions (irreversible glucose binding on protein amino groups), thereby leading to advanced glycation endproducts. Via their recognition by cell receptors, advanced glycation endproducts also participate in the development of oxidative stress and the inflammatory status. Involvement of oxidative stress and advanced glycation endproducts in diabetes complications is the basis of the development of adjunct therapies with antioxidant and/or anti)advanced glycation endproducts molecules.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species and a reduction in antioxidant defenses. This leads to oxidative stress, which is partly responsible for diabetic complications. Tight glycemic control is the most effective way of preventing or decreasing these complications. Nevertheless, antioxidant micronutrients can be proposed as adjunctive therapy in patients with diabetes. Indeed, some minerals and vitamins are able to indirectly participate in the reduction of oxidative stress in diabetic patients by improving glycemic control and/or are able to exert antioxidant activity. This article reviews the use of minerals (vanadium, chromium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper) and vitamins or cofactors (tocopherol [vitamin E], ascorbic acid [vitamin C], ubidecarenone [ubiquinone; coenzyme Q], nicotinamide, riboflavin, thioctic acid [lipoic acid], flavonoids) in diabetes, with a particular focus on the prevention of diabetic complications. Results show that dietary supplementation with micronutrients may be a complement to classical therapies for preventing and treating diabetic complications. Supplementation is expected to be more effective when a deficiency in these micronutrients exists. Nevertheless, many clinical studies have reported beneficial effects in individuals without deficiencies, although several of these studies were short term and had small sample sizes. However, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial showed that thioctic acid at an oral dosage of 800 mg/day for 4 months significantly improved cardiac autonomic neuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. Above all, individuals with diabetes should be educated about the importance of consuming adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals from natural food sources, within the constraints of recommended sugar and carbohydrate intake.

Abstract
A number of natural or synthetic compounds as AGE inhibitors have been proposed, discovered or currently being advanced by others and us. We have identified two new classes of aromatic compounds; aryl- (and heterocyclic) ureido and aryl (and heterocyclic) carboxamido phenoxyisobutyric acids, and benzoic acid derivatives and related compounds, as potential inhibitors of glycation and AGE formation. Some of these novel compounds also showed "AGE-breaking" activities in vitro. Current evidence is that chelation of transition metals and/or trapping or indirect inhibition of formation of reactive carbonyl compounds are involved in the mechanisms of action of these novel AGE inhibitors and breakers. Here, we review the inhibitors of glycation and AGE-breakers published to date and present the results of our in vitro and in vivo investigations on a number of these novel AGE inhibitors. These AGE-inhibitors and AGE-breakers may find therapeutic use in the treatment of diseases that AGE formation and accumulation may be responsible for their pathogenesis such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims at presenting new concepts of glucose-induced damage in diabetes via an increased production of oxygen free radicals. RECENT FINDINGS Reactive oxygen species modulate various biological functions by stimulating transduction signals, some of which are involved in diabetes pathogenesis and complications. SUMMARY Diabetes is characterized by high glucose concentrations that lead, via several mechanisms (glucose autoxidation, stimulation of the polyol pathway, activation of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, and production of advanced glycation endproducts), to an increased production of reactive oxygen species. The resulting oxidative stress (the imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and the antioxidant defences) can play a key role in diabetes pathogenesis. Superoxide radicals generated by the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase may thus contribute to impaired endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation by the inactivation of nitric oxide, and more generally to vascular dysfunction, thereby contributing to accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. The increased production of reactive oxygen species induced by hyperglycaemia has also been suggested to be involved in platelet dysfunction, in tissue remodelling (via metalloproteinases), and in redox regulation of glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Beyond the classic treatments for diabetes, new therapeutic strategies involving antioxidants or anti-advanced glycation endproduct molecules are proposed. Future methods could take into account the signalling pathways and genes that are regulated by reactive oxygen species.
