Abstract
The incidence of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) remains high and the underlying causes are incompletely understood. The crosstalk between heart and adipose tissue and stimulated lipolysis has been identified as potential driver of heart failure. Lipolysis is also activated acutely in response to MI. However, the role in the post-ischemic remodeling process and the contribution of different depots of adipose tissue is unclear. Here, we employ a mouse model of 60 min cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) to monitor morphology, cellular infiltrates and gene expression of visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue depots (VAT and SAT) for up to 28 days post ischemia. We found that in SAT but not VAT, adipocyte size gradually decreased over the course of reperfusion and that these changes were associated with upregulation of UCP1 protein, indicating white adipocyte conversion to the so-called ‘brown-in-white’ phenotype. While this phenomenon is generally associated with beneficial metabolic consequences, its role in the context of MI is unknown. We further measured decreased lipogenesis in SAT together with enhanced infiltration of MAC-2+ macrophages. Finally, quantitative PCR analysis revealed transient downregulation of the adipokines adiponectin, leptin and resistin in SAT. While adiponectin and leptin have been shown to be cardioprotective, the role of resistin after MI needs further investigation. Importantly, all significant changes were identified in SAT, while VAT was largely unaffected by MI. We conclude that targeted interference with lipolysis in SAT may be a promising approach to promote cardiac healing after ischemia.

Abstract
AIMS Increased resistin (Retn) levels are associated with development of cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of Retn in heart failure (HF) is still unclear. Here we probed the functional and molecular mechanism underlying the beneficial effect of Retn deletion in HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild-type (WT) and adipose tissue-specific Retn-knockout (RKO) mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced HF. Cardiac function and haemodynamic changes were measured by echocardiography and left ventricular catheterization. Adipose tissue Retn deletion attenuated while Retn cardiac-selective overexpression, via a recombinant adeno-associated virus-9 vector, exacerbated TAC-induced hypertrophy, cardiac dysfunction, and myocardial fibrosis in WT and RKO mice. Mechanistically, we showed that Gadd45α was significantly increased in RKO HF mice while cardiac overexpression of Retn led to its downregulation. miR148b-3p directly targets Gadd45α and inhibits its expression. Retn overexpression upregulated miR148b-3p expression and triggered DNA damage response (DDR) in RKO-HF mice. Inhibition of miR148b-3p in vivo normalized Gadd45α expression, decreased DDR, and reversed cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis. In vitro Retn overexpression in adult mouse cardiomyocytes activated miR148b-3p and reduced Gadd45α expression. Gadd45α overexpression in H9C2-cardiomyoblasts protected against hydrogen peroxide- and Retn-induced DDR. CONCLUSION These findings reveal that diminution in circulating Retn reduced myocardial fibrosis and apoptosis, and improved heart function in a mouse model of HF, at least in part, through attenuation of miR148b-3p and DDR. The results of this study indicate that controlling Retn levels may provide a potential therapeutic approach for treating pressure overload-induced HF.

Nutrients 2022; 14:2360. [PMID: 35684160 PMCID: PMC9182642 DOI: 10.3390/nu14112360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial disease and is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome and co-morbidities. Dysregulated expansion of the adipose tissue during obesity induces local tissue hypoxia, altered secretory profile of adipokines, cytokines and chemokines, altered profile of local tissue inflammatory cells leading to the development of low-grade chronic inflammation. Low grade chronic inflammation is considered to be the underlying mechanism that increases the risk of developing obesity associated comorbidities. The glucocorticoid induced protein annexin A1 and its N-terminal peptides are anti-inflammatory mediators involved in resolving inflammation. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of annexin A1 in obesity and associated inflammation. To achieve this aim, the current study analysed data from two feasibility studies in clinical populations: (1) bariatric surgery patients (Pre- and 3 months post-surgery) and (2) Lipodystrophy patients. Plasma annexin A1 levels were increased at 3-months post-surgery compared to pre-surgery (1.2 ± 0.1 ng/mL, n = 19 vs. 1.6 ± 0.1 ng/mL, n = 9, p = 0.009) and positively correlated with adiponectin (p = 0.009, r = 0.468, n = 25). Plasma annexin A1 levels were decreased in patients with lipodystrophy compared to BMI matched controls (0.2 ± 0.1 ng/mL, n = 9 vs. 0.97 ± 0.1 ng/mL, n = 30, p = 0.008), whereas CRP levels were significantly elevated (3.3 ± 1.0 µg/mL, n = 9 vs. 1.4 ± 0.3 µg/mL, n = 31, p = 0.0074). The roles of annexin A1 were explored using an in vitro cell based model (SGBS cells) mimicking the inflammatory status that is observed in obesity. Acute treatment with the annexin A1 N-terminal peptide, AC2-26 differentially regulated gene expression (including PPARA (2.8 ± 0.7-fold, p = 0.0303, n = 3), ADIPOQ (2.0 ± 0.3-fold, p = 0.0073, n = 3), LEP (0.6 ± 0.2-fold, p = 0.0400, n = 3), NAMPT (0.4 ± 0.1-fold, p = 0.0039, n = 3) and RETN (0.1 ± 0.03-fold, p < 0.0001, n = 3) in mature obesogenic adipocytes indicating that annexin A1 may play a protective role in obesity and inflammation. However, this effect may be overshadowed by the continued increase in systemic inflammation associated with rapid tissue expansion in obesity.

Abstract
To compare DPP4, LCN2, NAMPT, ITLN1, APLN mRNA levels in adipocytes isolated from the biopsies of subcutaneous, epicardial and perivascular fat obtained from 25 patients with coronary artery disease. Gene expression signature was determined by RT-qPCR with hydrolysis probes. We found DPP4 and APLN mRNA was higher expressed only in adipocytes isolated from epicardial adipose tissue compared to the subcutaneous fat. The ITLN1 gene was overexpressed in epicardial adipose tissue compared to both subcutaneous and perivascular tissues. APLN mRNA expression was positively correlated with total and LDL cholesterol plasma level, and DPP4 mRNA expression - with VLDL cholesterol concentration. Thus, adipocytes isolated from different adipose depots are characterised by differential gene expression of adipokines. Epicardial adipose tissue is of particular interest in the context of its function, molecular and genetic mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system and as a therapeutic target for correction of adipose tissue-induced effects on health.

Abstract
Objectives Recent studies demonstrated that elevated adiponectin levels predicted an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke; however, a causal relationship is yet to be unknown. Reduced left atrium (LA) functions detected by two-dimensional echocardiographic speckle tracking (2D-STE) can predict AF development. We aimed to investigate the relationship between adiponectin level and LA functions in hypertensive and diabetic patients at high risk for incident AF.Material and methods The study consisted of 80 hypertensive diabetic patients. All patients underwent echocardiography, and venous blood samples were taken. The relationship between adiponectin levels and LA functions was analyzed.Results We divided patients into two groups according to the mean adiponectin level (13.63 ng / ml). In the high adiponectin group, the mean age (p=0.001) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (p=0.015) were higher, whereas estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p=0.036) and hemoglobin (p=0.014) levels were lower. Although LA maximum volume, LA minimum volume, and LA pre-A volume were higher in the group with high adiponectin levels, they did not reach a statistical significance. Peak early diastolic LA strain (S-LAe) (p=0.048) and strain rate (SR-LAe) (p=0.017) were lower in this group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age (p=0.003) and hemoglobin (p=0.006) were predictors of elevated adiponectin levels. On the contrary, S-LAe, HDL cholesterol, and eGFR lost their statistical significance.Conclusion In patients with HT and DM, elevated adiponectin level is associated with impaired LA mechanical functions. Increased age and hemoglobin level are independent predictors of elevated adiponectin levels.

Abstract
The global obesity epidemic has motivated a large number of investigations related to adipose tissue. Within the advances in this area, a variety of factors secreted by adipose tissue and with regulatory activity on caloric intake, energy expenditure, reproduction, locomotor activity, glycidic and lipid metabolism, immune response, and bone physiology have been described. Among these adipocyte hormones, collectively called “adipokines” or “adipocytokines,” leptin (LEP) and adiponectin are addressed in this review. The regulation of adipocytokines is altered in diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome (MS) due to the increase in the mass of white adipose tissue. LEP and adiponectin have a broad spectrum of functions in regulating metabolism and are an important link between obesity and MS. Because these adipocytokines have opposite effects on subclinical inflammation and insulin resistance, it has been suggested that the combined use of these 2 adipocytokines may work as a better biomarker in the diagnosis of MS than using them individually. In this review, we address the characteristics and main functions of adipocytokines derived from adipose tissue such as adiponectin and LEP, which in the Colombian context could give good guidance for the management of MS, especially in populations of children and adolescents.

Abstract
Obesity and obesity-related illnesses (ORIs) constitute a significant burden on the healthcare system, with a very high prevalence in the general population. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen by healthcare providers. The risk of AF in obese individuals is reported to be high and in correlation with Body Mass Index (BMI), leading to the high prevalence of AF in the general population and the expected epidemic of AF to come. Greater left atrial dimensions and left atrial remodeling together form the AF substrate in the obese population along with the role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in inducing inflammation and fibrosis of the atrial myocardium and thus facilitating the onset of AF. In our paper, we reviewed the literature published on the link between obesity and AF, as well as the potential behind new management approaches. Multiple studies have explored different approaches, either conventional or novel. Considering the impact of prevention in medicine nowadays, we proposed a screening practice for AF in obese individuals. More research is needed to acquire a comprehensive protocol for the management of AF in the obese population that can be applied by primary healthcare providers to combat this evolving matter.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maternal omentin-1 level, quality of life and marital satisfaction of women with cesarean and vaginal delivery. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted on 45 women with elective cesarean delivery and 45 women with vaginal delivery who referred to a public hospital in Tehran, Iran. Maternal omentin-1 level was measured by ELISA kits within 24 h after delivery. The maternal quality of life and marital satisfaction in the third trimester of pregnancy and at 12 weeks postpartum were measured using WHOQOL-BREF and the Kansas marital satisfaction questionnaires, respectively. For making between-groups and within-groups comparison, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test and chi-square test were applied accordingly. Results The level of maternal omentin-1 was reported to be higher in vaginal delivery group compared to the cesarean group (p = 0.02). No significant difference was found in the quality of life between the two groups in the third trimester of pregnancy and at 12 weeks postpartum period. However, women in both groups had lower scores in physical dimension at 12 weeks postpartum compared to the third trimester of their pregnancy [mean ± SD in vaginal group = 59.28 ± 15.5 vs. 64.44 ± 15.05, p = 0.003 and mean ± SD in cesarean group = 60.07 ± 14.84 vs. 66.50 ± 11.32, p < 0.001]. The results of paired samples t-test indicated that women in NVD group had significantly higher psychological wellbeing at 12 weeks postpartum compared to the third trimester of pregnancy [mean ± SD 68.9 ± 16.82 vs. 65.73 ± 16.87, p = 0.001]. There was no significant difference in marital satisfaction between the two groups at 12 weeks postpartum (P = 0.07). The results of paired samples t-test showed that women in CS group had significantly lower marital satisfaction at 12 weeks postpartum compared to the third trimester of pregnancy [mean SD 18.86 ± 2.04 vs. 19.28 ± 1.79, p = 0.01]. Conclusions Our findings demonstrated that women with NVD had higher omentin-1 level than women with CS. No significant difference was found in quality of life and marital satisfaction between NVD and CS and omentin-1 level. High level of omentin-1 in NVD may act as a protective factor for mother against metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a complex structure responsible for fat storage and releasing polypeptides (adipokines) and metabolites, with systemic actions including body weight balance, appetite regulation, glucose homeostasis, and blood pressure control. Signals sent from different tissues are generated and integrated in adipose tissue; thus, there is a close connection between this endocrine organ and different organs and systems such as the gut and the cardiovascular system. It is known that functional foods, especially different nuts, may be related to a net of molecular mechanisms contributing to cardiometabolic health. Despite being energy-dense foods, nut consumption has been associated with no weight gain, weight loss, and lower risk of becoming overweight or obese. Several studies have reported beneficial effects after nut consumption on glucose control, appetite suppression, metabolites related to adipose tissue and gut microbiota, and on adipokines due to their fatty acid profile, vegetable proteins, l-arginine, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, and phytosterols. The aim of this review is to briefly describe possible mechanisms implicated in weight homeostasis related to different nuts, as well as studies that have evaluated the effects of nut consumption on adipokines and metabolites related to adipose tissue and gut microbiota in animal models, healthy individuals, and primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention.

Abstract
This study was initiated to explore some novel biomarkers like pro-inflammatory markers (chemerin and visfatin) and anti-inflammatory marker (omentin-1) as prognostic factors for cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients. Forty diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease, 40 diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease and twenty healthy control counterparts were included in this study. Serum chemerin, omentin-1 and visfatin levels were quantified. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was done to identify the cut off value for each marker. The mean serum level of chemerin was 57.65 ± 15.69 ng/l in diabetic patients versus 93.97 ± 26.62 ng/l for the cardio-diabetic ones (P < 0.0001). The mean serum level of omentin-1 was 8.77 ± 1.53 ng/ml in diabetic patients versus 1.76 ± 0.96 ng/ml for the cardio-diabetic ones (P < 0.0001). The mean level of visfatin was 1.44 ± 0.71 ug/l in diabetic patients versus 3.92 ± 3.32 ug/l for the cardio-diabetic ones (P < 0.0001). Chemerin and Visfatin levels were significantly enhanced in the cardio-diabetic patients with increasing C-reactive protein (CRP), triglycerides (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG), micro-albumin and cholesterol. Omentin-1 level was significantly reduced in the cardio-diabetic patients with increasing CRP, TG, FBG, and cholesterol. It was observed that the area under curve for chemerin, omentin-1and visfatin was 0.877, 0.998 and 0.735, respectively. In conclusion, this study evidences that the measuring serum levels of chemerin, omentin-1 and visfatin may help in the prognosis of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Obesity is an escalating world problem that contributes to the complexity and cost of treatment of metabolic disorders. Obesity is the result of increased storage of energy in the form of adipose tissue, reducing the quality of daily life, and interfering with longevity. Obesity is also a chronic, low-grade inflammatory disorder. The inflammatory processes affect many organ systems with expanded numbers of immune cells and increased cytokine production. Long-term weight loss is difficult to achieve and maintain. Lifestyle modifications, pharmacologic treatments, and surgical methods are increasingly utilized to ameliorate excess body weight and the comorbidities of obesity, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and cancers. Weight loss is also touted to reduce inflammation. Here we review the current literature on human obesity-related systemic and local changes to the immune system and circulating inflammatory mediators. Further, we consider the impact of weight loss to reduce the burden of inflammation, bearing in mind the different methods of weight loss—behavioral change vs. surgical intervention.

Abstract
Nowadays the adipose tissue is recognized as one of the most critical endocrine organs releasing many adipokines that regulate metabolism, inflammation and body homeostasis. There are several described adipokines, including the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components that are especially activated in some diseases with increased production of angiotensin II and several pro-inflammatory hormones. On the other hand, RAS also expresses angiotensin-(1-7), which is now recognized as the main peptide on counteracting Ang II effects. New studies have shown that increased activation of ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/MasR arm can revert and prevent local and systemic dysfunctions improving lipid profile and insulin resistance by modulating insulin actions, and reducing inflammation. In this context, the present review shows the interaction and relevance of Ang-(1-7) effects on regulating adipokines, and as one adipokine itself, modulating body homeostasis, with emphasis on its anti-inflammatory properties, especially in the context of metabolic disorders with focus on obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus pandemic.

Abstract
The adipokine resistin has been proposed to link obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. We have previously reported that diabetic hearts express high levels of resistin while overexpression of resistin in adult rat hearts gives rise to a phenotype resembling diabetic cardiomyopathy. The transcriptional regulation of resistin in diabetic cardiac tissue is currently unknown. This study investigated the mechanism of resistin upregulation and the role of Serca2a in its transcriptional suppression. We demonstrate that restoration of Ca2+ homeostasis in diabetic hearts, through normalization of Serca2a function genetically and pharmacologically, suppressed resistin expression via inhibition of NFATc. H9c2 myocytes stimulated with high-glucose concentration or Ca2+ time-dependently increased NFATc and resistin expression while addition of the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM attenuated this effect. NFATc expression was enhanced in hearts from ob/ob diabetic and from cardiac-specific Serca2a−/− mice. Similarly, NFATc increased resistin expression in myocytes cultured in low glucose while the NFATc inhibitor VIVIT blocked glucose-induced resistin expression, suggesting that hyperglycemia/diabetes induces resistin expression possibly through NFATc activation. Interestingly, overexpression of Serca2a or VIVIT mitigated glucose-stimulated resistin and NFATc expression and enhanced AMPK activity, a downstream target of resistin signaling. NFATc direct activation of resistin was verified by resistin promoter luciferase activity and chromatin-immunoprecipitation analysis. Interestingly, activation of Serca2a by a novel agonist, CDN1163, mirrored the effects of AAV9-Serca2a gene transfer on resistin expression and its promoter activity and AMPK signaling in diabetic mice. These findings parse a role for Ca2+ in resistin transactivation and provide support that manipulation of Serca2a-NFATc-Resistin axis might be useful in hyper-resistinemic conditions.

Abstract
Chemerin is a protein secreted among others by adipose tissue and liver, with a dual pro- and anti-inflammatory role in the body. These molecules exert systemic effects by modulating tissue-specific immune response and metabolism. Chemerin isoforms correlate with the turnover of fatty acids and lipoproteins that could affect intestinal inflammation. Although chemerin may interact with three types of receptors, CMKLR1 is the best studied. In this paper we reviewed current knowledge about the relationship between chemerin and lower gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). A more detailed understanding of the role of the adipose tissue in the GI tract will not only unravel the pathophysiology of chronic intestinal diseases, but may also indicate a new therapeutic tool for their management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity is increasing among the general population. Obesity is associated with increased risk of several cardiovascular conditions, which in turn may increase the risk for atrial fibrillation (AF). We performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies that examined the effect of obesity on the incidence of AF. In addition, we examined the effect of obesity on the incidence of AF stratified by gender. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for studies evaluating the effect of obesity on AF. Pooled risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random effects model. Sixteen trials involving 587,372 subjects were included in the analysis. Obesity was defined as body mass index >30 kg/m2 . AF during follow-up developed in 5,751 of 91,031 (6.3%) obese subjects and in 15,346 of 496,341 (3.1%) nonobese subjects (RR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.68; P < 0.00001). Based on the pooled estimate across the studies, the effect of obesity on incident AF was similar in men (RR = 1.41, 95% 1.24 to 1.62; P < 0.00001) and women (RR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.97; P < 0.00001). CONCLUSION Obesity is associated with an increased risk of new-onset AF in susceptible individuals. This effect appears to be consistent in both genders. Further studies are warranted to examine the impact of weight loss interventions on the risk of developing AF.

Abstract
SummaryExtensive research of the past decades altered our traditional concept about the genesis of atherosclerosis fundamentally. Today, the crucial role of inflammation in the formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques is indisputable. Patients at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease, owing to poor diet, obesity and low physical activity have been shown to exhibit a particular inflammatory pattern.Therefore, the present review highlights the crosslink between the metabolic syndrome (MetS), adipose tissue, adipokines and selected inflammatory cytokines in the context of atherothrombosis and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is of interest in the context of its role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Modern experimental techniques require a well-purified RNA, but all the routine protocols for RNA extraction have a number of limitations in case of fatty tissues. Here we described a modified protocol for RNA extraction from human adipocytes based on routine column method. Suggested modifications optimized the sample preparation, lysis and washing lead to enhance RNA purity. We conclude that the current protocol for total RNA purification from adipocytes allows extracting a high-quality RNA devoid of fatty acids, organic solvents and salts contamination.

Abstract
Adipokines are peptides that signal the functional status of adipose tissue to the brain and other target organs. In adipose tissue dysfunction, adipokine secretion is altered, and this can contribute to a spectrum of obesity-associated conditions including cardiovascular disease. Some adipokines have anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects (omentin, apelin, adiponectin). Others are pro-inflammatory with negative impact on cardiovascular function (leptin, visfatin, resistin, adipocyte fatty-acid-binding protein). In the first part, this article reviews the endocrine functions of adipose tissue in general, effects of the distribution and composition of fat tissue, and the roles of cortisol and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the development of the inflammatory state of addipose tissue. In the second part, the known cardiovascular effects of different adipokines and their clinical potential are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Adipokines are bioactive molecules that regulate several physiological functions such as energy balance, insulin sensitization, appetite regulation, inflammatory response, and vascular homeostasis. They include proinflammatory cytokines such as adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as adiponectin, as well as vasodilator and vasoconstrictor molecules. In obesity and type II diabetes mellitus (DM), insulin resistance causes impairment of the endocrine function of the perivascular adipose tissue, an imbalance in the secretion of vasoconstrictor and vasodilator molecules, and an increased production of reactive oxygen species. Recent studies have shown that targeting plasma levels of adipokines or the expression of their receptors can increase insulin sensitivity, improve vascular function, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several reviews have discussed the potential of adipokines as therapeutic targets for type II DM and obesity; however, this review is the first to focus on their therapeutic potential for vascular dysfunction in type II DM and obesity.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery triggers an inflammatory stress response, leading to protein catabolism, a process that even high-dose insulin therapy alone cannot reverse. To determine whether hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp and perioperative amino acid (AA) supplementation improves whole body protein balance, 20 patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery were randomly assigned to have intra- and postoperative hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp, with or without intravenous AA supplementation. Primed continuous infusions of [6,6-2H2]glucose and l-[1-13C]leucine were used to quantify whole body protein and glucose metabolism before and after surgery. Adipose tissue and serum cytokines were also analyzed to measure their responsiveness to the anabolic effect of AA administration. During hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp, AA supplementation successfully stimulated whole body protein synthesis, resulting in a positive whole body protein balance after surgery (insulin: -13.6 ± 4.5 vs. insulin + AA: 2.1 ± 5.4 μmol·kg-1·h-1, P < 0.001). Endogenous glucose production was equally suppressed in both groups (insulin: 0.0 ± 3.8 vs. insulin + AA 1.6 ± 1.6 μmol·kg-1·min-1, P = 0.230). AA supplementation led to significant changes in serum and tissue IL-6 (insulin: 246.6 ± 111.2 vs. insulin + AA: 124.5 ± 79.3 pg/ml, P = 0.011). In conclusion, hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic clamp technique, together with AA supplementation, can induce an anabolic state after open-heart surgery, as quantified by a positive whole body protein balance.

Abstract
Context Adipokines secreted by fat cells are vital to the control of energy metabolism, communicating the nutrient status with the tissues responsible for controlling both energy intake and expenditure and insulin sensitivity. Objective We aimed to prove in an experimental animal study that maternal obesity has long term adverse fetal metabolic consequences, which pass on even to the next generation of descendants. Design The effects of maternal obesity have been studied on animal model using 50 obese female Wistar rats, in which we induced obesity by high-calorie high-fat diet administered by gavage. Subjects and Methods Obese rat females were sacrificed at gestation term and we analyzed the secretion of adipokines from maternal venous blood: leptin and adiponectin, placental, pancreatic, liver and brain homogenates lipid peroxidation levels estimated by: MDA (malonyl-dialdehyde), total thiols and GSH - as antioxidant factors and routine biochemistry. Results Low levels of adiponectin and increased levels of leptin positively correlated with the value of placental and fetal tissue lipid peroxidation (from the liver, pancreas and brain) measured by elevated MDA and total thiols and low levels of GSH. The lipid peroxidation in the organs examined generated consistent results, showing high levels of peroxidation expressed through high values of MDA in the groups with Omega 6 supplements respectively no supplementation, and low levels of antioxidants expressed through glutathione and thiols. Conclusions Endocrine secretion of adipokines from the adipocytes and the recruited macrophages of obese mothers is positively correlated with placental and tissue lipid peroxidation level and routine biochemical parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity in pregnancy (MO) is a risk factor for maternal and/or fetal cardiovascular system disorders. This study evaluated maternal CVS expression of microRNA-29 family and its target molecules in MO to test the hypotheses: CVS miR-29 concentrations are increased in pregnancy and decreased in MO. METHODS Non-pregnant (n=4), pregnant obese (POb, n=4), and pregnant non-obese (PnOb, n=4) baboons (Papio spp.) were studied. Maternal left ventricle (LV), left atrium (LA), and aortic arch (AA) were collected at the end of gestation. Expression of MiR-29 and elastin (ELN) mRNA were quantified. RESULTS LA miR-29 (a, c) expression was highest in PnOb. In the LV, miR-29b expression trended lower (P=.059) for PnOb animals. ELN mRNA expression correlated positively with miR-29b expression in AA (r=.76, P=.03). CONCLUSION Maternal obesity diminishes miR-29 adaptation to pregnancy. Pharmacologic, tissue-specific targeting of miRNA-29 may represent a strategy for prevention and treatment of MO complications.

Elevated BMI and antibodies to citrullinated proteins interact to increase rheumatoid arthritis risk and shorten time to diagnosis: A nested case-control study of women in the Nurses' Health Studies. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2016; 46:692-698. [PMID: 27939764 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2016.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2016] [Revised: 09/02/2016] [Accepted: 09/08/2016] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Overweight/obesity and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) increase rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk. We investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and ACPA, tested for an interaction between BMI and ACPA for RA risk, and examined effects of BMI and ACPA on time to RA diagnosis. DESIGN Within the Nurses' Health Studies, blood samples were collected before diagnosis from medical record-confirmed incident RA cases and matched controls. Multiplex assays measured 7 ACPA subtypes (biglycan, clusterin, enolase, fibrinogen, histone 2A, histone 2B, and vimentin). Logistic regression analyses tested the association of BMI and ACPA and for a multiplicative interaction between BMI groups (≥25 vs. <25kg/m2) and ACPA positivity (≥2 vs. <2 subtypes), adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol use, and HLA-shared epitope. In case-only analyses, log-rank tests compared time from blood draw to RA onset by cross-classified BMI/ACPA status. RESULTS Among 255 pre-RA cases and 778 matched controls, 15.7% vs. 2.1% (p<0.001) had ≥2 ACPA and 49.4% vs. 40.2% (p<0.01) were overweight/obese. Continuous BMI was not associated with presence of ≥2 ACPA [OR per kg/m2 unit BMI: 1.03 (95% CI: 0.97-1.09)]. However, there was a multiplicative interaction between elevated BMI and the presence of ≥2 ACPA for RA risk (p = 0.027). Women with BMI≥25kg/m2 and ≥2 ACPA had OR 22.7 (95% CI: 6.64-77.72) for RA. Median time to RA differed by BMI/ACPA group (overall log-rank p<0.001) and was shortest among women with ≥2 ACPA and BMI≥25kg/m2 [45.0 months, IQR: 17.5-72.5] and longest in women with <2 ACPA and BMI<25kg/m2 [125.0 months, IQR: 72.0-161.0] (pairwise log-rank p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Elevated BMI and presence of ACPA interacted to increase RA risk. Time to RA onset was shortest among overweight/obese women with ≥2 ACPA.

Resistin-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is inhibited by apelin through the inactivation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathway in H9c2 embryonic rat cardiomyocytes. Biomed Rep 2016; 5:473-478.

Abstract
It has been reported that resistin induces, whereas apelin inhibits cardiac hypertrophy. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of apelin inhibiting resistin-induced cardiac hypertrophy remain unclear. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of apelin on resistin-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. H9c2 cells were used in the present study, and cell surface area and protein synthesis were evaluated. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the expression levels of hypertrophic markers, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC). In addition, western blotting was conducted to examine phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2. Following treatment of H9c2 cells with resistin, cell surface area, protein synthesis, and BNP and β-MHC mRNA expression levels were increased. Subsequent to co-treatment of H9c2 cells with apelin and resistin, lead to the inhibition of resistin-induced hypertrophic effects by apelin. In addition, treatment with resistin increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2, whereas pretreatment with apelin decreased phosphorylation of ERK1/2, which was increased by resistin. These results indicate that resistin-induced cardiac hypertrophy is inhibited by apelin via inactivation of ERK1/2 cell signaling.

Abstract
Objective. Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with increased cardiovascular comorbidity and mortality. Evidence is lacking about whether arterial stiffness is involved in OA. The objective of our study was to find out associations between OA, arterial stiffness, and adipokines. Design. Seventy end-stage knee and hip OA patients (age 62 ± 7 years) and 70 asymptomatic controls (age 60 ± 7 years) were investigated using the applanation tonometry to determine their parameters of arterial stiffness. Serum adiponectin, leptin, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) levels were determined using the ELISA method. Correlation between variables was determined using Spearman's rho. Multiple regression analysis with a stepwise selection procedure was employed. Results. Radiographic OA grade was positively associated with increased carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) (r = 0.272, p = 0.023). We found that OA grade was also associated with leptin and MMP-3 levels (rho = −0.246, p = 0.040 and rho = 0.235, p = 0.050, resp.). In addition, serum adiponectin level was positively associated with augmentation index and inversely with large artery elasticity index (rho = 0.293, p = 0.006 and rho = −0.249, p = 0.003, resp.). Conclusions. Our results suggest that OA severity is independently associated with increased arterial stiffness and is correlated with expression of adipokines. Thus, increased arterial stiffness and adipokines might play an important role in elevated cardiovascular risk in end-stage OA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, including heart failure (HF), is the major cause of death in patients with diabetes. A contributing factor to the occurrence of HF in such patients is the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent evidence demonstrates that perturbations associated with adipokines secretion and signaling result in lusitropic and inotropic defects in diabetic cardiomyopathy. This perspective editorial will discuss the central role of resistin, a recently discovered adipokine, in the maladaptive cardiac phenotype seen in diabetic hearts. Given the pleiotropic effects of resistin, strategies targeting the control of resistin levels may constitute a potentially viable therapeutic utility in patients with diabetes and diabetes-induced cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Chemerin is an adipocyte-secreted adipokine that regulates the differentiation and metabolism of adipose through auto-/paracrine signaling. Its function in the differentiation of multipotent myoblast cells has thus far received little attention. In this study, C2C12 myoblast cells were cultured in the medium with Chemerin, and the differentiation potential of C2C12 myoblasts was analyzed. The results showed that Chemerin increased ROS levels and TG content of C2C12 cells. At the same time, the mRNA expressions and protein concentrations of the adipogenic factors PPARγ, C/EBPα and UCP1 were up-regulated, while the muscle specific transcription factors MyoD, Myogenin and MyHC were decreased in cultured C2C12 cells. In conclusion, the adipokine Chemerin promoted the adipogenic differentiation potential and altered the fate of myoblast cells from myogenesis to adipogenesis, which contributed in part to the up-regulated adipocyte genes. Our study reveals the importance of functional Chemerin signaling in adipogenesis and in directing the differentiation of multipotent myoblast cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) concentration and future rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk, and investigate effect modification by human leukocyte antigen-shared epitope (HLA-SE) and several lifestyle factors. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study using stored plasma samples from the Nurses' Health Studies. Each pre-RA case was matched to three controls (N case = 220, N control = 675). Odds ratios (OR) for RA associated with MCP-1 concentration and interactions with HLA-SE, smoking, BMI and alcohol intake were estimated. RESULTS MCP-1 concentration was associated with both seropositive and seronegative RA, in particular <5 years of blood draw (OR: 2.42), and among HLA-SE positive (OR: 2.05). No interactions with smoking, BMI or alcohol were detected. CONCLUSION MCP-1 was associated with risk of RA, especially among HLA-SE positive, but did not differ by smoking status, BMI or alcohol intake.

Abstract
There are number of means of methods to alter body composition, and metabolic issues, available for the adult who is overfat. The following is a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on comparing changes from treatment program for adults who are overfat based on analysis of aggregated effect size (ES) of inducing changes. So as to determine the relative effectiveness of such protocols and intervention plans of choice. This tiered meta-analysis of 66-population based studies, and 162-studywise groups, a clear pattern of ES being established across and within treatments. First, hypocaloric balance is necessary for changing body composition, but the effectiveness for establishing imbalance does not equate with the effectiveness for body compositional changes, or any biomarkers associated with metabolic issues. With analysis showing that there is a necessity to include exercise in combination with diet effectively elicit changes in body composition and biomarkers of metabolic issues. More importantly, the combination, resistance training (RT) was more effective than endurance training (ET) or combination of RT and ET, particularly when progressive training volume of 2-to-3 sets for 6-to-10 reps at an intensity of ≥75% 1RM, utilizing whole body and free-weight exercises, at altering body compositional measures (ES of 0.47, 0.30, and 0.40 for loss of BM, FM, and retention of FFM respectively) and reducing total cholesterol (ES = 0.85), triglycerides (ES = 0.86) and low-density lipoproteins (ES = 0.60). Additionally RT was more effective at reducing fasting insulin levels (ES = 3.5) than ET or ET and RT. Even though generally lower ES than RT, the inclusion of ET was more effective when performed at high intensity (e.g. ≥70% VO2max or HRmax for 30-minutes 3-4x's/wk), or in an interval training style than when utilizing the relatively common prescribed method of low-to-moderate (e.g., 50-70% VO2max or HRmax for at least equal time) steady state method, ES of 0.35, 0.39, and 0.13 for BM, FM, and FFM respectively. Thus indicating that focus of treatment should be on producing a large metabolic stress (as induced by RT or high levels of ET) rather than an energetic imbalance for adults who are overfat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered secretion patterns of proinflammatory adipokines may influence the increased risk of cardiovascular mortality observed in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. OBJECTIVE To determine whether two adipokines, leptin and resistin, correlate with metabolic syndrome features and disease severity in psoriatic patients who underwent anti-TNF-α therapy. METHODS Prospective study of consecutive non-diabetic patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who completed 6 months of therapy with anti-TNF-α- adalimumab. Patients with kidney disease, hypertension or body mass index ≥35 Kg/m(2) were excluded. Metabolic and clinical evaluation was performed at the onset of anti-TNF-α treatment and at month 6. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients were assessed. A correlation between adiposity and leptin was observed (waist circumference and leptin levels after 6 months of therapy: r = 0.43; P = 0.030). Leptin concentration also correlated with blood pressure before adalimumab onset (systolic: r = 0.48; P = 0.013 and diastolic blood pressure: r = 0.50; P = 0.010 ). A marginally significant negative correlation between insulin sensitivity (QUICKI) and leptin levels was also observed. CRP levels correlated with leptin prior to the onset of adalimumab (r = 0.45; P = 0.020) and with resistin both before (r = 0.45; P = 0.020) and after 6 months of therapy (r = 0.55; P = 0.004). A positive association between parameters of disease activity such as BSA (r = 0.60; P = 0.001) and PASI (r = 0.63; P = 0.001) prior to the onset of adalimumab therapy and resistin concentrations was also disclosed. No significant changes in leptin and resistin concentrations following the 6-month treatment with adalimumab were seen. CONCLUSION In patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis leptin correlates with metabolic syndrome features and inflammation whereas resistin correlate with inflammation and disease severity.

Abstract
The apelin-APJ system is a novel neurohormonal pathway, with studies to date suggesting that it may be of pathophysiologic relevance in heart failure and may indeed be a viable therapeutic target in this syndrome. This interest is driven primarily by the demonstration of its vasodilator, inotropic, and aquaretic actions as well as its apparent antagonistic relationship with the renin-angiotensin system. However, its promise is heightened further by the observation that, unlike other and more established cardioprotective pathways, it appears to be down-regulated in heart failure, suggesting that augmentation of this axis may have a powerful effect on the heart failure syndrome. We review the literature regarding the apelin-APJ system in heart failure and suggest areas requiring further research.

Antioxidant polyphenol-rich extracts from the medicinal plants Antirhea borbonica, Doratoxylon apetalum and Gouania mauritiana protect 3T3-L1 preadipocytes against H2O2, TNFα and LPS inflammatory mediators by regulating the expression of superoxide dismutase and NF-κB genes. JOURNAL OF INFLAMMATION-LONDON 2015; 12:10. [PMID: 25685071 PMCID: PMC4329220 DOI: 10.1186/s12950-015-0055-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2014] [Accepted: 01/20/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Background Adipose cells responsible for fat storage are the targets of reactive oxygen species (ROS) like H2O2 and pro-inflammatory agents including TNFα and LPS. Such mediators contribute to oxidative stress and alter inflammatory processes in adipose tissue, leading to insulin resistance during obesity. Thus, the identification of natural compounds such as plant polyphenols able to increase the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity of the body is of high interest. We aimed to evaluate the biological properties of polyphenol-rich extracts from the medicinal plants A. borbonica, D. apetalum and G. mauritiana on preadipocytes exposed to H2O2, TNFα or LPS mediators. Methods Medicinal plant extracts were analysed for their polyphenol contents by Folin-Ciocalteu and UPLC-ESI-MS methods as well as for their free radical-scavenging activities by DPPH and ORAC assays. To assess the ability of polyphenol-rich extracts to protect 3T3-L1 preadipocytes against H2O2, TNFα or LPS mediators, several parameters including cell viability (MTT and LDH assays), ROS production (DCFH-DA test), IL-6 and MCP-1 secretion (ELISA) were evaluated. Moreover, the expression of superoxide dismutase, catalase and NF-κB genes was explored (RT-QPCR). Results All medicinal plants exhibited high levels of polyphenols with free radical-scavenging capacities. Flavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol, epicatechin and procyanidins, and phenolic acids derived from caffeic acid including chlorogenic acid, were detected. Polyphenol-rich plant extracts did not exert a cytotoxic effect on preadipocytes but protected them against H2O2 anti-proliferative action. Importantly, they down-regulated ROS production and the secretion of IL-6 and MCP-1 pro-inflammatory markers induced by H2O2, TNFα and LPS mediators. Such a protective action was associated with an increase in superoxide dismutase antioxidant enzyme gene expression and a decrease in mRNA levels of NF-κB pro-inflammatory transcription factor. Conclusion This study highlights that antioxidant strategies based on polyphenols derived from medicinal plants tested could contribute to regulate adipose tissue redox status and immune process, and thus participate to the improvement of obesity-related oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the relationship between circulating resistin levels and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and all-cause death in a multi-ethnic cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 1913 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with measurements of plasma resistin levels. Absolute proportions experiencing new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), atherosclerotic CVD (myocardial infarction, angina, resuscitated cardiac arrest, stroke), heart failure (HF), and all-cause death were calculated for each quartile of resistin. We used adjusted Cox proportional regression modeling resistin as a continuous variable per standard deviation of log-transformed resistin and secondarily as a categorical variable using resistin quartiles. Results were stratified by sex and race/ethnicity. The mean age of the population was 64.5 ± 10 years with half being female and a median resistin concentration of 15.1 ng/mL (11.9-19.1). Mean follow-up time was 7.2 ± 1.8 years. There was a graded increase in the occurrence of all outcomes across increasing quartiles of resistin. Modeled as a continuous variable, after adjustment for anthropomorphic measures, traditional risk factors, markers of inflammation, and other adipokines, significant associations were noted for HF (HR 1.4, CI 1.0-2.0), hard and all CVD (HR 1.3, 1.1-1.7 and 1.3, 1.1-1.6, respectively), and CHD (HR 1.31, 1.0-1.6), but not for AF or death. Significant interaction terms were noted between resistin and race, with Hispanic race/ethnicity showing the strongest relationship between resistin and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In an ethnically diverse population without known CVD at baseline, there was a strong, independent association between higher resistin levels and incident CVD, CHD and HF.

Abstract
Obesity and its comorbidities are closely related to the inflammatory environment created by expanded adipose tissue. Several mechanisms trigger inflammation in adipose tissue, including excess fatty acids, hypoxia, and activation of the inflammasome. Inflammation is characterized by the abundance of immune cells, particularly M1 macrophages and T lymphocytes, which have increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines that act to perpetuate systemic inflammation and induce insulin resistance. The gut microbiota is also involved in obesity-induced inflammation via LPS-related endotoxemia that induces cytokine secretion and insulin resistance. Innate lymphoid type 2 cells, regulatory T cells, and interleukine (IL)-10 counteract the inflammation and insulin resistance, establishing classical or metabolically healthy obesity.

Abstract
AIM Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory form of arthritis typically associated with psoriasis and/or psoriatic nail disease. Adipocytokines were once thought to influence development of (only) insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. However, it is now clear that adipocytokines play important roles in development of the inflammation associated with either autoimmune or auto-inflammatory disorders. In the present study, we measured changes in the serum levels of adiponectin, resistin and visfatin, and the associations of such changes with the extent of disease activity and insulin resistance in PsA patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 67 subjects (28 with PsA and 39 healthy controls) without hypertension or diabetes mellitus were enrolled. Adiponectin, resistin and visfatin levels, and the extent of insulin resistance (assayed using the homeostasis model [HOMA-IR]), were measured in all subjects. Assessment of PsA disease activity was done with the Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA). RESULTS Psoriatic arthritis patients had considerably higher serum levels of adiponectin, resistin and visfatin than did healthy controls (all P < 0.05). In the logistic regression analysis, the following variables may contribute to complex pathogenesis of PsA: adiponectin (P = 0.001, OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.6-6.0), resistin (P = 006, OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.2-2.9) and visfatin (P = 0.031, OR = 3.9, 95% CI = 1.1-13.9). In contrast, we have not detected any correlation between DAPSA and adipocytokine serum levels (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION There is no correlation between adipocytokines and disease activity. Although serum adiponectin, resistin and visfatin levels are higher in patients with PsA, pathophysiological significance of the result has to be evaluated with more extensive studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between being overweight or obese and developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in two large prospective cohorts, the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII). METHODS We followed 109 896 women enrolled in NHS and 108 727 in NHSII who provided lifestyle, environmental exposure and anthropometric information through biennial questionnaires. We assessed the association between time-varying and cumulative Body Mass Index (BMI) in WHO categories of normal, overweight and obese (18.5-<25, 25.0-<30, ≥30.0 kg/m(2)) and incident RA meeting the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. We estimated HRs for overall RA and serologic subtypes with Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders. We repeated analyses restricted to RA diagnosed at age 55 years or younger. RESULTS During 2 765 195 person-years of follow-up (1976-2008) in NHS and 1 934 518 person-years (1989-2009) in NHSII, we validated 1181 incident cases of RA (826 in NHS, 355 in NHSII). There was a trend toward increased risk of all RA among overweight and obese women (HR (95% CI) 1.37 (0.95 to 1.98) and 1.37 (0.91, 2.09), p for trend=0.068). Among RA cases diagnosed at age 55 years or younger, this association appeared stronger (HR 1.45 (1.03 to 2.03) for overweight and 1.65 (1.34 to 2.05) for obese women (p trend <0.001)). Ten cumulative years of being obese, conferred a 37% increased risk of RA at younger ages (HR 1.37 (1.11 to 1.69)). CONCLUSIONS Risks of seropositive and seronegative RA were elevated among overweight and obese women, particularly among women diagnosed with RA at earlier ages.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity, especially in women of child-bearing age, is a global health concern. In addition to increasing the immediate risk of gestational complications, there is accumulating evidence that maternal obesity also has long-term consequences for the offspring. The concept of developmental programming describes the process in which an environmental stimulus, including altered nutrition, during critical periods of development can program alterations in organogenesis, tissue development, and metabolism, predisposing offspring to obesity and metabolic and cardiovascular disorders in later life. Although the mechanisms underpinning programming of metabolic disorders remain poorly defined, it has become increasingly clear that low-grade inflammation is associated with obesity and its comorbidities. This review will discuss maternal metainflammation as a mediator of programming in insulin sensitive tissues in offspring. Use of nutritional anti-inflammatories in pregnancy including omega 3 fatty acids, resveratrol, curcumin, and taurine may provide beneficial intervention strategies to ameliorate maternal obesity-induced programming.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Apelin was shown to play an important role in atherosclerosis in mice. However, the involvement of apelin in atherosclerosis in humans has not been investigated. AIMS To characterize plasma apelin levels following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to examine their relationship with coronary stenosis and atherosclerotic plaque stability.The study enrolled 196 patients admitted with ACS, and another 171 outpatients with no coronary heart disease as control. Plasma concentrations of apelin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were measured 2 hours and 6 months after admission, respectively. The severity of coronary artery stenosis of ACS patients was evaluated using the Gensini score. The stability and components of atherosclerotic plaque was assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 16.0.Apelin concentration was reduced compared with healthy controls following ACS (0.54 ± 0.25 versus 3.22 ± 1.08 ng/mL, P < 0.001) and remained low to 6 months. The plasma level of apelin in the ACS group was negatively correlated with the Gensini score (r = -0.382, P = 0.009). Moreover, in the ACS patients, apelin levels were significantly lower in the group with the ruptured plaque than in those with the nonruptured plaque (0.42 ± 0.24 versus 0.68 ± 0.30 ng/mL, P = 0.042). Apelin levels were negatively correlated with plaque cross-sectional area (CSA) (r = -0.425, P = 0.018) and positively correlated with external elastic membrane (EEM) CSA (r = 0.311, P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Plasma apelin levels were inversely correlated with the severity of coronary artery stenosis and positively related with the stability of atherosclerotic plaque in humans with ACS.

Abstract
Vascular aging is a chronic process, and many negative effects of obesity in this process have been well defined. We assessed arterial stiffness in obese adolescents and evaluated the relationship between intra-abdominal fat distribution and arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness parameters and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were evaluated in 61 obese adolescents and 58 healthy controls. Carotid-femoral PWV was calculated by arterial tonometry. Additionally, all obese children were evaluated for metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Intra-abdominal fat distribution, including subcutaneous, preperitoneal and visceral fat thicknesses, was assessed by ultrasonography. PWVs of obese children were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (5.0 ± 0.7 m/s vs. 4.7 ± 0.5 m/s). Parameters affecting PWV were evaluated by regression analysis. The independent variable in the regression analysis model was PWV, and the dependent variables were age, metabolic syndrome, body mass index and Homeostasis Model Assessment--Insulin Resistance, as well as subcutaneous, preperitoneal and visceral fat tissue thicknesses measured by ultrasonography. The only parameter associated with PWV was preperitoneal fat tissue thickness. Vascular changes related to obesity may begin in adolescence, as illustrated by the increased PWV. Preperitoneal fat tissue may be related to arterial stiffness. Intra-abdominal fat distributions obtained by ultrasonography may provide clinicians with valuable information needed to determine cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese adolescents.

Osteopontin: A novel regulator at the cross roads of inflammation, obesity and diabetes. Mol Metab 2014; 3:384-93. [PMID: 24944898 PMCID: PMC4060362 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2014.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 269] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2014] [Revised: 03/10/2014] [Accepted: 03/13/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Since its first description more than 20 years ago osteopontin has emerged as an active player in many physiological and pathological processes, including biomineralization, tissue remodeling and inflammation. As an extracellular matrix protein and proinflammatory cytokine osteopontin is thought to facilitate the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages and to mediate cytokine secretion in leukocytes. Modulation of immune cell response by osteopontin has been associated with various inflammatory diseases and may play a pivotal role in the development of adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Here we summarize recent findings on the role of osteopontin in metabolic disorders, particularly focusing on diabetes and obesity.

Tissue-selective estrogen complexes with bazedoxifene prevent metabolic dysfunction in female mice. Mol Metab 2014; 3:177-90. [PMID: 24634829 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2013.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2013] [Revised: 12/20/2013] [Accepted: 12/21/2013] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Pairing the selective estrogen receptor modulator bazedoxifene (BZA) with estrogen as a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) is a novel menopausal therapy. We investigated estrogen, BZA and TSEC effects in preventing diabetisity in ovariectomized mice during high-fat feeding. Estrogen, BZA or TSEC prevented fat accumulation in adipose tissue, liver and skeletal muscle, and improved insulin resistance and glucose intolerance without stimulating uterine growth. Estrogen, BZA and TSEC improved energy homeostasis by increasing lipid oxidation and energy expenditure, and promoted insulin action by enhancing insulin-stimulated glucose disposal and suppressing hepatic glucose production. While estrogen improved metabolic homeostasis, at least partially, by increasing hepatic production of FGF21, BZA increased hepatic expression of Sirtuin1, PPARα and AMPK activity. The metabolic benefits of BZA were lost in estrogen receptor-α deficient mice. Thus, BZA alone or in TSEC produces metabolic signals of fasting and caloric restriction and improves energy and glucose homeostasis in female mice.
