Abstract
Current antihypertensive options still incompletely control blood pressure, suggesting the existence of uncovered pathogenic mechanisms. Here, whether cytokine-like protein family with sequence similarity 3, member D (FAM3D) is involved in hypertension etiology is evaluated. A case-control study exhibits that FAM3D is elevated in patients with hypertension, with a positive association with odds of hypertension. FAM3D deficiency significantly ameliorates angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension in mice. Mechanistically, FAM3D directly causes endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling and impairs endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, whereas 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine to induce eNOS uncoupling abolishes the protective effect of FAM3D deficiency against AngII-induced hypertension. Furthermore, antagonism of formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) and FPR2 or the suppression of oxidative stress blunts FAM3D-induced eNOS uncoupling. Translationally, targeting endothelial FAM3D by adeno-associated virus or intraperitoneal injection of FAM3D-neutralizing antibodies markedly ameliorates AngII- or deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced hypertension. Conclusively, FAM3D causes eNOS uncoupling through FPR1- and FPR2-mediated oxidative stress, thereby exacerbating the development of hypertension. FAM3D may be a potential therapeutic target for hypertension.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is the most important factor leading to the complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary condition for the treatment of T2DM is to change the glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in the liver and other insulin-sensitive tissues. The current study aims to unearth the potential molecular mechanism of inhibiting liver gluconeogenesis to provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of T2DM. High glucose (HG) induction of HepG2 cells followed by treatment with sequence-similar family 3 member D (FAM3D). Dual specificity phosphatases 1 (DUSP1), zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36), salt-induced kinase 1 (SIK1), p-SIK1, posphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) gene and protein expression level were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. The PEPCK and G6Pase activities were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Glucose production assay to determine glucose content. The RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the binding of ZFP36 to SIK1. FAM3D facilitated the expression of DUSP1 but suppressed the expression of gluconeogenesis-related factors in an HG environment. The expression of ZFP36 was up-regulated in an HG environment. ZFP36 could reverse the inhibition of gluconeogenesis caused by FAM3D. HG-induced upregulation of ZFP36 was downregulated by overexpression of DUSP1. ZFP36 bound to SIK1, and downregulation of ZFP36 promoted SIK1 expression and inhibits gluconeogenesis. Our study demonstrated FAM3D inhibited gluconeogenesis through the DUSP1/ZFP36/SIK1 axis in an HG environment, which provided a new theoretical basis for exploring the pathogenesis and treatment strategy of T2DM.

Abstract
Dysregulated glucagon secretion is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D). To date, few effective therapeutic agents target on deranged glucagon secretion. Family with sequence similarity 3 member D (FAM3D) is a novel gut-derived cytokine-like protein, and its secretion timing is contrary to that of glucagon. However, the roles of FAM3D in metabolic disorder and its biological functions are largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated whether FAM3D modulates glucagon production in mouse pancreatic alpha TC1 clone 6 (αTC1-6) cells. Glucagon secretion, prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) activity, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were assessed. Exogenous FAM3D inhibited glucagon secretion, PC2 activity, as well as extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling and induced MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP1) expression. Moreover, knockdown of MKP1 and inhibition of ERK1/2 abolished and potentiated the inhibitory effect of FAM3D on glucagon secretion, respectively. Taken together, FAM3D inhibits glucagon secretion via MKP1-dependent suppression of ERK1/2 signaling. These results provide rationale for developing the therapeutic potential of FAM3D for dysregulated glucagon secretion and T2D.
