Abstract
Naturally occurring forms of vitamin B6 include six interconvertible water-soluble compounds: pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxamine (PM), and their respective monophosphorylated derivatives (PNP, PLP, and PMP). PLP is the catalytically active form which works as a cofactor in approximately 200 reactions that regulate the metabolism of glucose, lipids, amino acids, DNA, and neurotransmitters. Most of vitamers can counteract the formation of reactive oxygen species and the advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which are toxic compounds that accumulate in diabetic patients due to prolonged hyperglycemia. Vitamin B6 levels have been inversely associate with diabetes, while vitamin B6 supplementation reduces diabetes onset and its vascular complications. The mechanisms at the basis of the relation between vitamin B6 and diabetes onset are still not completely clarified. In contrast more evidence indicates that vitamin B6 can protect from diabetes complications through its role as scavenger of AGEs. It has been demonstrated that in diabetes AGEs can destroy the functionality of macromolecules such as protein, lipids, and DNA, thus producing tissue damage that result in vascular diseases. AGEs can be in part also responsible for the increased cancer risk associated with diabetes. In this chapter the relationship between vitamin B6, diabetes and AGEs will be discussed by showing the acquired knowledge and questions that are still open.

Abstract
IKKε (inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase ε) is a member of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway. It participates in the inflammatory response and innate immunity against bacteria. In recent decades, IKKε has been closely associated with metabolic regulation. Inhibition of the IKKε pathway can improve fat deposition in the liver, reduce subcutaneous fat inflammation, and improve liver gluconeogenesis in obesity. IKKε is expected to be a new therapeutic target for metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and obesity. Herein, we summarize the structural characterization, physiological function, and pathological role of IKKε in metabolic diseases and small molecule inhibitors of IKKε.

Vitamin B6 and Diabetes: Relationship and Molecular Mechanisms. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21103669. [PMID: 32456137 PMCID: PMC7279184 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21103669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor for approximately 150 reactions that regulate the metabolism of glucose, lipids, amino acids, DNA, and neurotransmitters. In addition, it plays the role of antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Epidemiological and experimental studies indicated an evident inverse association between vitamin B6 levels and diabetes, as well as a clear protective effect of vitamin B6 on diabetic complications. Interestingly, by exploring the mechanisms that govern the relationship between this vitamin and diabetes, vitamin B6 can be considered both a cause and effect of diabetes. This review aims to report the main evidence concerning the role of vitamin B6 in diabetes and to examine the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms. In addition, the relationship between vitamin B6, genome integrity, and diabetes is examined. The protective role of this vitamin against diabetes and cancer is discussed.

Abstract
During obesity, macrophages infiltrate the breast tissue leading to low‐grade chronic inflammation, a factor considered responsible for the higher risk of breast cancer associated with obesity. Here, we formally demonstrate that breast epithelial cells acquire malignant properties when exposed to medium conditioned by macrophages derived from human healthy donors. These effects were mediated by the breast cancer oncogene IKKε and its downstream target—the serine biosynthesis pathway as demonstrated by genetic or pharmacological tools. Furthermore, amlexanox, an FDA‐approved drug targeting IKKε and its homologue TBK1, delayed in vivo tumour formation in a combined genetic mouse model of breast cancer and high‐fat diet‐induced obesity/inflammation. Finally, in human breast cancer tissues, we validated the link between inflammation–IKKε and alteration of cellular metabolism. Altogether, we identified a pathway connecting obesity‐driven inflammation to breast cancer and a potential therapeutic strategy to reduce the risk of breast cancer associated with obesity.

Serum Amyloid A3 Gene Expression in Adipocytes is an Indicator of the Interaction with Macrophages. Sci Rep 2016; 6:38697.

Abstract
The infiltration of macrophages into adipose tissue and their interaction with adipocytes are essential for the chronic low-grade inflammation of obese adipose tissue. In this study, we identified the serum amyloid A3 (Saa3) gene as a key adipocyte-derived factor that is affected by interaction with macrophages. We showed that the Saa3 promoter in adipocytes actually responds to activated macrophages in a co-culture system. Decreasing C/EBPβ abundance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes or point mutation of C/EBPβ elements suppressed the increased promoter activity in response to activated macrophages, suggesting an essential role of C/EBPβ in Saa3 promoter activation. Bioluminescence based on Saa3 promoter activity in Saa3-luc mice was promoted in obese adipose tissue, showing that Saa3 promoter activity is most likely related to macrophage infiltration. This study suggests that the level of expression of the Saa3 gene could be utilized for the number of infiltrated macrophages in obese adipose tissue.

Moreno-Navarrete JM, Jove M, Ortega F, Xifra G, Ricart W, Obis È, Pamplona R, Portero-Otin M, Fernández-Real JM. Metabolomics uncovers the role of adipose tissue PDXK in adipogenesis and systemic insulin sensitivity. Diabetologia 2016; 59:822-32. [PMID: 26831303 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-016-3863-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2015] [Accepted: 12/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms involved in the compromised adipogenesis of visceral (VAT) vs subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) using comparative metabolomics. Based on the differentially identified metabolites, we focused on the relationship between the active form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate [PLP]), known to be generated through pyridoxal kinase (PDXK), and adipogenesis. METHODS Non-targeted metabolomics analyses were performed in paired VAT and SAT (n = 14, discovery cohort). PDXK gene expression was evaluated in two validation cohorts of paired SAT and VAT samples in relation to obesity status and insulin sensitivity, and mechanistically after weight loss in vivo and in 3T3-L1 cells in vitro. RESULTS Comparative metabolomics showed that PLP was significantly decreased in VAT vs SAT. Concordantly, PDXK mRNA levels were significantly decreased in VAT vs SAT, specifically in adipocytes. The decrease was specially marked in obese individuals. PDXK mRNA levels showed a strong association with adipogenic, lipid-droplet-related and lipogenic genes. At a functional level, systemic insulin sensitivity positively associated with PDXK expression, and surgically-induced weight loss (improving insulin sensitivity) led to increased SAT PDXK mRNA levels in parallel with adipogenic genes. In human pre-adipocytes, PDXK mRNA levels increased during adipocyte differentiation and after administration of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonists, and decreased under inflammatory stimuli. Mechanistic studies in 3T3-L1 cells showed that PLP administration resulted in increased adipogenic mRNA markers during early adipogenesis, whereas the PLP antagonist 4-deoxypyridoxine exerted opposite effects. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Overall, these results support the notion that in situ production of PLP is required for physiological adipogenesis.
