Abstract
Diabetes constitutes a major public health problem, with dramatic consequences for patients. Both genetic and environmental factors were shown to contribute to the different forms of the disease. The monogenic forms, found both in humans and in animal models, specially help to decipher the role of key genes in the physiopathology of the disease. Here, we describe the phenotype of early diabetes in a colony of NOD mice, with spontaneous invalidation of Akt2, that we called HYP. The HYP mice were characterised by a strong and chronic hyperglycaemia, beginning around the age of one month, especially in male mice. The phenotype was not the consequence of the acceleration of the autoimmune response, inherent to the NOD background. Interestingly, in HYP mice, we observed hyperinsulinemia before hyperglycaemia occurred. We did not find any difference in the pancreas' architecture of the NOD and HYP mice (islets' size and staining for insulin and glucagon) but we detected a lower insulin content in the pancreas of HYP mice compared to NOD mice. These results give new insights about the role played by Akt2 in glucose homeostasis and argue for the ß cell failure being the primary event in the course of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to develop a fetal rat model of ventricular noncompaction (NVM) using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced gestational hyperglycemia and compare it with a retinoic acid (RA) model. METHODS Female SD rats were categorized into STZ, RA, and normal control (NC) groups. The STZ group was given a high-fat diet pre-pregnancy and 35 mg/kg of 2% STZ postpregnancy. The RA group received a 90 mg/kg dose of RA on day 13 postpregnancy. Embryonic myocardial morphology was analyzed through HE staining, and embryonic cardiomyocyte ultrastructures were studied using electron microscopy. Diagnoses of NVM were based on a ratio of noncompact myocardium (N) to compact myocardium (C) >1.4, accompanied by thick myocardial trabeculae and a thin myocardial compaction layer. Kruskal-Wallis test determined N/C ratio differences among groups. RESULTS Both STZ and RA groups displayed significant NVM characteristics. The left ventricular (LV) N/C in the STZ, RA, and NC groups were 1.983 (1.423-3.527), 1.640 (1.197-2.895), and 0.927 (0.806-1.087), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The right ventricular (RV) N/C in the STZ, RA, and NC groups were 2.097 (1.364-3.081), 1.897 (1.337-2.662), and 0.869 (0.732-1.022), respectively, with a significant difference (P<0.001). Electron microscopy highlighted marked endoplasmic reticulum swelling in embryonic cardiomyocytes from both STZ and RA groups. CONCLUSION Our model underscores the pivotal role of an adverse intrauterine developmental environment in the onset of NVM. This insight holds significant implications for future studies exploring the pathogenesis of NVM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a crucial dialysis method for treating end-stage kidney disease. However, its use is restricted due to high glucose-induced peritoneal injury and hyperglycaemia, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, we investigated whether partially replacing d-glucose with the rare sugar d-allose could ameliorate peritoneal injury and hyperglycaemia induced by peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). METHODS Rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) were exposed to a medium containing d-glucose or d-glucose partially replaced with different concentrations of d-allose. Cell viability, oxidative stress and cytokine production were evaluated. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were administrated saline, a PDF containing 4% d-glucose (PDF-G4.0%) or a PDF containing 3.6% d-glucose and 0.4% d-allose (PDF-G3.6%/A0.4%) once a day for 4 weeks. Peritoneal injury and PD efficiency were assessed using immuno-histological staining and peritoneal equilibration test, respectively. Blood glucose levels were measured over 120 min following a single injection of saline or PDFs to 24-h fasted SD rats. RESULTS In RPMCs, the partial replacement of d-glucose with d-allose increased cell viability and decreased oxidative stress and cytokine production compared to d-glucose alone. Despite the PDF-G3.6%/A0.4% having a lower d-glucose concentration compared to PDF-G4.0%, there were no significant changes in osmolality. When administered to SD rats, the PDF-G3.6%/A0.4% suppressed the elevation of peritoneal thickness and blood d-glucose levels induced by PDF-G4.0%, without impacting PD efficiency. CONCLUSIONS Partial replacement of d-glucose with d-allose ameliorated peritoneal injury and hyperglycaemia induced by high concentration of d-glucose in PDF, indicating that d-allose could be a potential treatment option in PD.

Abstract
Ageing retina is prone to ferroptosis due to the iron accumulation and impaired efficiency of intracellular antioxidant defense system. Ferroptosis acts as a cell death modality that is characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is distinctively different from other types of regulated cell death (RCD) at the morphological, biochemical, and genetic levels. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. Its prevalence and severity increase progressively with age. Recent reports have shown that ferroptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of DR. Under hyperglycemia condition, the endothelial cell and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell will undergo ferroptosis, which contributes to the increased vascular permeability and the disrupted blood retinal barrier (BRB). The underlying etiology of DR can be attributed to the impaired BRB integrity and subsequent damages of the neurovascular units. In the absence of timely intervention, the compromised BRB can ultimately cause profound visual impairments. In particular, the ageing retina is vulnerable to ferroptosis, and hyperglycemia will accelerate the progression of this pathological process. In this article, we discuss the contributory role of ferroptosis in DR pathogenesis, and summarize recent therapeutic trials that targeting the ferroptosis. Further study on the ferroptosis mediated damage would enrich our knowledge of DR pathology, and promote the development of clinical treatment for this degenerative retinopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSES This work aimed to assess the possible role of TRIM25 in regulating hyperglycemia-induced inflammation, senescence, and oxidative stress in retinal microvascular endothelial cells, all of which exert critical roles in the pathological process of diabetic retinopathy. METHODS The effects of TRIM25 were investigated using streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, human primary retinal microvascular endothelial cells cultured in high glucose, and adenoviruses for TRIM25 knockdown and overexpression. TRIM25 expression was evaluated by western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Inflammatory cytokines were detected by western blot and quantitative real-time PCR. Cellular senescence level was assessed by detecting senescent marker p21 and senescence-associated-β-galactosidase activity. The oxidative stress state was accessed by detecting reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase. RESULTS TRIM25 expression is elevated in the endothelial cells of the retinal fibrovascular membrane from diabetic patients compared with that of the macular epiretinal membrane from non-diabetic patients. Moreover, we have also observed a significant increase in TRIM25 expression in diabetic mouse retina and retinal microvascular endothelial cells under hyperglycemia. TRIM25 knockdown suppressed hyperglycemia-induced inflammation, senescence, and oxidative stress in human primary retinal microvascular endothelial cells while TRIM25 overexpression further aggregates those injuries. Further investigation revealed that TRIM25 promoted the inflammatory responses mediated by the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway and TRIM25 knockdown improved cellular senescence by increasing SIRT3. However, TRIM25 knockdown alleviated the oxidative stress independent of both SIRT3 and mitochondrial biogenesis. CONCLUSION Our study proposed TRIM25 as a potential therapeutic target for the protection of microvascular function during the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes is one of the important and growing diseases in the world. Among the most common diabetic complications are renal adverse effects. The use of apigenin may prevent the development and progression of diabetes-related injuries. The current study aims to review the effects of apigenin in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS In this review, a systematic search was performed based on PRISMA guidelines for obtaining all relevant studies on "the effects of apigenin against diabetic nephropathy" in various electronic databases up to September 2022. Ninety-one articles were obtained and screened in accordance with the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven eligible articles were finally included in this review. RESULTS The experimental findings revealed that hyperglycemia led to the decreased cell viability of kidney cells and body weight loss and an increased kidney weight of rats; however, apigenin administration had a reverse effect on these evaluated parameters. It was also found that hyperglycemia could induce alterations in the biochemical and renal function-related parameters as well as histopathological injuries in kidney cells or tissue; in contrast, the apigenin administration could ameliorate the hyperglycemia-induced renal adverse effects. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the use of apigenin could mitigate diabetes-induced renal adverse effects, mainly through its antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Since the findings of this study are based on experimental studies, suggesting the use of apigenin (as a nephroprotective agent) against diabetic nephropathy requires further clinical studies.

Abstract
To examine the association between prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hippocampal subfields and to investigate the effects of glycemic control (HbA1c and FBG)/diabetes duration on the volume of hippocampal subfields in T2DM patients. This cross-sectional study included 268 participants from Tianjin Union Medical Center between August 2019 and July 2022. The participants were divided into three groups: T2DM, prediabetes and no diabetes. All participants underwent brain MRI examination on a 3T MRI scanner. FreeSurfer was performed to segment hippocampus automatically based on T1 MPRAGE images. The relationships between glycemic status/glycemic control/diabetes duration and hippocampal subfield volumes were estimated by multiple linear regression analysis/generalized additive modeling (GAM). Among all participants, 76 (28.36%) had prediabetes, and 96 (35.82%) had T2DM. In multi-adjusted linear regression models, those with prediabetes had a significantly lower volume of bilateral parasubiculum (βright = -5.540; βleft = -6.497). Those with diabetes had lower volume of parasubiculum (βleft = -7.868), presubiculum-head (βleft = -6.244) and fimbria (βleft = -7.187). We did not find relationship between diabetes duration and hippocampal subfield volumes. In stratified analysis, long duration with high FBG related with lower volume of right fimbria (βright = -15.583). Long duration with high HbA1c related with lower volume of presubiculum-head (βright = -19.693), subiculum-head (βright = -28.303), subiculum-body (βleft = -38.599), CA1-head (βright = -62.300, βleft = -47.922), CA1-body (βright = -19.043), CA4-body (βright = -14.392), GC-ML-DG-head (βright = -20.521), GC-ML-DG-body (βright = -16.293, βleft = -12.799), molecular_layer_HP-head (βright = -44.202, βleft = -26.071) and molecular_layer_HP-body, (βright = -31.368), hippocampal_tail (βleft = -80.073). Prediabetes related with lower bilateral parasubiculum volume, and T2DM related with lower left parasubiculum, presubiculum-head and fimbria. T2DM with chronic poor glycemic control had lower volume in multiple hippocampal subregions.

Abstract
Background Metabolic disorders are involved in the development of numerous cancers, but their association with the progression of cervical cancer is unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between metabolic disorders and the pathological risk factors and survival in patients with early cervical cancer. Methods Patients with FIGO IB1 (2009) primary cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy and systematic pelvic lymph node dissection at our institution from October 2014 to December 2017 were included retrospectively. Clinical data regarding the metabolic syndrome and surgical pathology of the patient were collected. The correlations between metabolic disorders (hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity) and clinicopathological characteristics as well as survival after surgery were analyzed. Results The study included 246 patients with clinical IB1 cervical cancer, 111 (45.1%) of whom had at least one of the comorbidities of hypertension, obesity, or hyperglycemia. Hypertension was positively correlated with parametrial invasion and poorly differentiated histology; hyperglycemia was positively correlated with stromal invasion; obesity was negatively associated with lymph node metastasis; but arbitrary disorder did not show any correlation with pathologic features. Hypertension was an independent risk factor for parametrial invasion (OR=6.54, 95% CI: 1.60-26.69); hyperglycemia was an independent risk factor for stromal invasion (OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.07-3.95); and obesity was an independent protective factor for lymph node metastasis (OR=0.07, 95% CI: 0.01-0.60). Moreover, the patients with hypertension had a significantly lower 5-year OS rate (70.0% vs. 95.3%, P<0.0001) and a significantly lower 5-year PFS rate than those without hypertension (70.0% vs. 91.2%, P=0.010). Conclusion Hypertension and hyperglycemia are positively associated with local invasion of early cervical cancer, which need to be verified in multi-center, large scale studies.

Abstract
Background Hyperglycemia increases reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contributes to diabetic complications such as kidney cell damage. Antioxidant administration could inhibit ROS and kidney cell damage commonly seen in hyperglycemia. Aim We want to demonstrate that the antioxidant properties of Swietenia macrophylla ethanol extract nanoparticles can prevent kidney cell damage brought on by streptozotocin (STZ) in the current investigation. Methods This study employs high-energy ball milling to produce nanoparticles from S. macrophylla extract. Additionally, dynamic light scattering (DLS) is utilized to characterize the nanoparticle sizes of the S. macrophylla ethanol extract. Five groups, each consisting of 8 rats, were formed from 40 rats. Control rats received distilled water, the diabetic rats were administered STZ injections, while S. macrophylla rats were given S. macrophylla extract nanoparticles orally and STZ injection. After the trial, blood from a rat was drawn intracardially to check the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were then assessed in kidney tissue samples. Histological alterations were evaluated in kidney section samples. Results A DLS analysis estimated the size of the S. macrophylla ethanol extract nanoparticles to be about 91.50 ± 23.06 nm. BUN and creatinine levels were significantly raised after STZ treatment. STZ significantly decreased SOD and GPx levels in kidney tissue while raising MDA levels (p < 0.05). Swietenia macrophylla ethanol extract nanoparticle caused the decreased levels of BUN and creatinine in blood to normal levels (p < 0.05), indicating that S. macrophylla ethanol extract prevented the STZ-induced kidney cell damage. Additionally, S. macrophylla nanoparticles significantly raise GPx and SOD levels in kidney tissue while lowering MDA levels (p < 0.05). These actions are thought to have prevented kidney histological alterations (degeneration and necrosis) in diabetic rats. Conclusion According to these results, the anti-oxidative stress properties of S. macrophylla nanoparticles make them potentially effective nephroprotective therapies for STZ-induced kidney cell damage.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the significant risk factors for ischemic stroke. Hyperglycemia exacerbates the pathogenesis of stroke, leading to more extensive cerebral damage and, as a result, to more severe consequences. However, the mechanism whereby the hyperglycemic status in diabetes affects biochemical processes during the development of ischemic injury is still not fully understood. In the present work, we record for the first time the real-time dynamics of H2O2 in the matrix of neuronal mitochondria in vitro in culture and in vivo in the brain tissues of rats during development of ischemic stroke under conditions of hyperglycemia and normal glucose levels. To accomplish this, we used a highly sensitive HyPer7 biosensor and a fiber-optic interface technology. We demonstrated that a high glycemic status does not affect the generation of H2O2 in the tissues of the ischemic core, while significantly exacerbating the consequences of pathogenesis. For the first time using Raman microspectroscopy approach, we have shown how a sharp increase in the blood glucose level increases the relative amount of reduced cytochromes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain in neurons under normal conditions in awake mice.

Abstract
Multiple molecular pathways including the receptor for advanced glycation end-products-diaphanous related formin 1 (RAGE-Diaph1) signaling are known to play a role in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Evidence suggests that neuropathological alterations in type 1 diabetic spinal cord may occur at the same time as or following peripheral nerve abnormalities. We demonstrated that DPN was associated with perturbations of RAGE-Diaph1 signaling pathway in peripheral nerve accompanied by widespread spinal cord molecular changes. More than 500 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) belonging to multiple functional pathways were identified in diabetic spinal cord and of those the most enriched was RAGE-Diaph1 related PI3K-Akt pathway. Only seven of spinal cord DEGs overlapped with DEGs from type 1 diabetic sciatic nerve and only a single gene cathepsin E (CTSE) was common for both type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice. In silico analysis suggests that molecular changes in spinal cord may act synergistically with RAGE-Diaph1 signaling axis in the peripheral nerve. KEY MESSAGES: Molecular perturbations in spinal cord may be involved in the progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was associated with perturbations of RAGE-Diaph1 signaling pathway in peripheral nerve accompanied by widespread spinal cord molecular changes. In silico analysis revealed that PI3K-Akt signaling axis related to RAGE-Diaph1 was the most enriched biological pathway in diabetic spinal cord. Cathepsin E may be the target molecular hub for intervention against diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes frequently results in cognitive impairment, but it is less clear if brain health is adversely affected during the prediabetic stage. Our aim is to identify possible changes in brain volume as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a large elderly population stratified according to level of "dysglycemia." METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 2144 participants (median age 69 years, 60.9% female) who underwent 3-T brain MRI. Participants were divided into 4 dysglycemia groups based on HbA1c levels (%): normal glucose metabolism (NGM) (< 5.7%), prediabetes (5.7 to < 6.5%), undiagnosed diabetes (6.5% or higher), and known diabetes (defined by self-report). RESULTS Of the 2144 participants, 982 had NGM, 845 prediabetes, 61 undiagnosed diabetes, and 256 known diabetes. After adjustment for age, sex, education, body weight, cognitive status, smoking, drinking, and disease history, total gray matter volume was significantly lower among participants with prediabetes (0.41% lower, standardized β = - 0.0021 [95% CI - 0.0039, - 0.00039], p = 0.016), undiagnosed diabetes (1.4% lower, standardized β = - 0.0069 [95% CI - 0.012, - 0.002], p = 0.005), and known diabetes (1.1% lower, standardized β = - 0.0055 [95% CI - 0.0081, - 0.0029], p < 0.001) compared to the NGM group. After adjustment, total white matter volume and hippocampal volume did not differ significantly between the NGM group and either the prediabetes group or the diabetes group. CONCLUSION Sustained hyperglycemia may have deleterious effects on gray matter integrity even prior to the onset of clinical diabetes. KEY POINTS • Sustained hyperglycemia has deleterious effects on gray matter integrity even prior to the onset of clinical diabetes.

Abstract
Dry eye syndrome is a common complication in diabetic patients with a prevalence of up to 54.3%. However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying hyperglycemia-induced tear reduction and dry eye remain less understood. The present study indicated that both norepinephrine (NE) and tyrosine hydroxylase levels were elevated in the lacrimal gland of diabetic mice, accompanied by increased Fos proto-oncogene (c-FOS)+ cells in the superior cervical ganglion. However, the elimination of NE accumulation by surgical and chemical sympathectomy significantly ameliorated the reduction in tear production, suppressed abnormal inflammation of the lacrimal gland, and improved the severity of dry eye symptoms in diabetic mice. Among various adrenergic receptors (ARs), the α1 subtype played a predominant role in the regulation of tear production, as treatments of α1AR antagonists improved tear secretion in diabetic mice compared with βAR antagonist propranolol. Moreover, the α1AR antagonist alfuzosin treatment also alleviated functional impairments of the meibomian gland and goblet cells in diabetic mice. Mechanically, the α1AR antagonist rescued the mitochondrial bioenergetic deficit, increased the mitochondrial DNA copy numbers, and elevated the glutathione levels of the diabetic lacrimal gland. Overall, these results deciphered a previously unrecognized involvement of the NE-α1AR-mitochondrial bioenergetics axis in the regulation of tear production in the lacrimal gland, which may provide a potential strategy to counteract diabetic dry eye by interfering with the α1AR activity.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetic neuropathy and diabetic eye disease are well known complications of type 1 diabetes. We hypothesized that chronic hyperglycemia also damages the optic tract, which can be measured using routine magnetic resonance imaging. Our aim was to compare morphological differences in the optic tract between individuals with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. Associations between optic tract atrophy and metabolic measures, cerebrovascular and microvascular diabetic complications were further studied among individuals with type 1 diabetes. Methods We included 188 subjects with type 1 diabetes and 30 healthy controls, all recruited as part of the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study. All participants underwent a clinical examination, biochemical work-up, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Two different raters manually measured the optic tract. Results The coronal area of the optic chiasm was smaller among those with type 1 diabetes compared to non-diabetic controls (median area 24.7 [21.0-28.5] vs 30.0 [26.7-33.3] mm2, p<0.001). In participants with type 1 diabetes, a smaller chiasmatic area was associated with duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin, and body mass index. Diabetic eye disease, kidney disease, neuropathy and the presence of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in brain MRI were associated with smaller chiasmatic size (p<0.05 for all). Conclusion Individuals with type 1 diabetes had smaller optic chiasms than healthy controls, suggesting that diabetic neurodegenerative changes extend to the optic nerve tract. This hypothesis was further supported by the association of smaller chiasm with chronic hyperglycemia, duration of diabetes, diabetic microvascular complications, as well as and CMBs in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the disruption of the glucose homeostasis at the whole-body level by the presence of cancer disease. Of particular interest are the potentially different responses of patients with or without hyperglycemia (including diabetes mellitus) to the cancer challenge, and how tumor growth, in turn, responds to hyperglycemia and its medical management. We propose a mathematical model that describes the competition between cancer cells and glucose-dependent healthy cells for a shared glucose resource. We also include the metabolic reprogramming of healthy cells by cancer-cell-initiated mechanism to reflect the interplay between the two cell populations. We parametrize this model and carry out numerical simulations of various scenarios, with growth of tumor mass and loss of healthy body mass as endpoints. We report sets of cancer characteristics that show plausible disease histories. We investigate parameters that change cancer cells' aggressiveness, and we exhibit differing responses in diabetic and non-diabetic, in the absence or presence of glycemic control. Our model predictions are in line with observations of weight loss in cancer patients and the increased growth (or earlier onset) of tumor in diabetic individuals. The model will also aid future studies on countermeasures such as the reduction of circulating glucose in cancer patients.

Abstract
Streptozotocin (STZ) is widely used to induce experimental diabetes in murine models. However, the ability to induce diabetic nephropathy (DN) is more challenging. It has been recommended to inject STZ at multiple low doses within 15 min after dissolution due to its alleged instability. However, some studies suggest that STZ is stable for days due to equilibration of its two anomers (α and β), 90 min after dissolution, and that this anomer-equilibrated STZ leads to higher survival rates and persistent hyperglycaemia with minimal weight loss. The aim of this study was to determine an optimal dose of anomer-equilibrated STZ to induce kidney tubular damage and compare it with the more commonly used freshly prepared STZ. We hypothesised that anomer-equilibrated STZ provides a better, reproducible experimental model of diabetes-induced kidney damage with improved animal welfare. Body measurements, fasting glycaemia, insulinemia and renal histology were assessed in male C57Bl/6J at two and six months of age treated with fresh (50 mg/kg) or anomer-equilibrated (dose ranging 35-50 mg/kg) STZ or vehicle control. We demonstrated a dose-dependent effect of anomer-equilibrated STZ on the induction of hypo-insulinaemia and hyperglycaemia, as well as body weight in two-month-old mice. Interestingly, in six-month-old mice STZ leads to body weight loss, independently of STZ preparation mode. Anomer-equilibrated STZ provoked moderate to severe kidney tubule structural damage, resulting in significant kidney hypertrophy, whereas freshly prepared STZ only caused mild alterations. In conclusion, our study proposes that anomer-equilibrated STZ provides a robust murine model of diabetes and early-stage diabetic nephropathy, which can be used to test therapeutic approaches to treat and/or prevent renal damage.

Abstract
Diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications are mainly associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Insulin-like growth factor II receptor α (IGF-IIRα) is a cardiac risk factor. In this study, we hypothesized IGF-IIRα could also deteriorate diabetic heart injury. The results presented that both in vivo transgenic Sprague-Dawley rat model with specific IGF-IIRα overexpression in the heart and in vitro myocardium H9c2 cells were used to investigate the negative function of IGF-IIRα in diabetic hearts. The results showed that IGF-IIRα overexpression aided hyperglycemia in creating more myocardial injury. Pro-inflammatory factors, such as Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin-6, Cyclooxygenase-2, Inducible nitric oxide synthase, and Nuclear factor-kappaB inflammatory cascade, are enhanced in the diabetic myocardium with cardiac-specific IGF-IIRα overexpression. Correspondingly, IGF-IIRα overexpression in the diabetic myocardium also reduced the PI3K-AKT survival axis and activated mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. Finally, both ejection fraction and fractional shortening were be significantly decrease in diabetic rats with cardiac-specific IGF-IIRα overexpression. Overall, all results provid clear evidence that IGF-IIRα can enhance cardiac damage and is a harmful factor to the heart under high-blood glucose conditions. However, the pathophysiology of IGF-IIRα under different stresses and its downstream regulation in the heart still require further research.

Abstract
Both type-1 and type-2 DM are related to an increased risk of cognitive impairment, neurovascular complications, and dementia. The primary triggers for complications are hyperglycemia and concomitant insulin resistance in type-2 DM. However, the diverse mechanisms in the pathogenesis of diabetes-related neurovascular complications and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in type-1 and 2 have not been elucidated yet. Here, we investigated the high fat-high sucrose (HFHS) feeding model and streptozotocin-induced type-1 DM model to study the early effects of hyperglycemia with or without insulin resistance to demonstrate the brain microcirculatory changes, perivascular ECM alterations in histological sections and 3D-reconstructed cleared brain tissues. One of the main findings of this study was robust rarefaction in brain microvessels in both models. Interestingly, the HFHS model leads to widespread non-functional angiogenesis, but the type-1 DM model predominantly in the rostral brain. Rarefaction was accompanied by basement membrane thickening and perivascular collagen accumulation in type-1 DM; more severe blood-brain barrier leakage, and disruption of perivascular ECM organization, mainly of elastin and collagen fibers' structural integrity in the HFHS model. Our results point out that the downstream mechanisms of the long-term vascular complications of hyperglycemia models are structurally distinctive and may have implications for appropriate treatment options.

Abstract
Treatments for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) mainly focus on managing hyperglycemia and hypertension, but emerging evidence suggests that inflammation also plays a role in the pathogenesis of DKD. This 10-week study evaluated the efficacy of daily oral nanoparticulate-curcumin (nCUR) together with long-acting insulin (INS) to treat DKD in a rodent model. Diabetic rats were dosed with unformulated CUR alone, nCUR alone or together with INS, or INS alone. The progression of diabetes was reflected by increases in plasma fructosamine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, ALP, and decrease in albumin and globulins. These aberrancies were remedied by nCUR+INS or INS but not by CUR or nCUR. Kidney histopathological results revealed additional abnormalities characteristic of DKD, such as basement membrane thickening, tubular atrophy, and podocyte cytoskeletal impairment. nCUR and nCUR+INS mitigated these lesions, while CUR and INS alone were far less effective, if not ineffective. To elucidate how our treatments modulated inflammatory signaling in the liver and kidney, we identified hyperactivation of P38 (MAPK) and P53 with INS and CUR, whereas nCUR and nCUR+INS deactivated both targets. Similarly, the latter interventions led to significant downregulation of renal NLRP3, IL-1β, NF-ĸB, Casp3, and MAPK8 mRNA, indicating a normalization of inflammasome and apoptotic pathways. Thus, we show therapies that reduce both hyperglycemia and inflammation may offer better management of diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolism in the liver is dysregulated in obesity, contributing to various health problems including steatosis and insulin resistance. While the pathogenesis of lipid accumulation has been extensively studied, the protective mechanism against lipid challenge in the liver remains unclear. Here, we report that Src homology 3 domain binding kinase 1 (SBK1) is a regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism and systemic insulin sensitivity in response to obesity. APPROACH AND RESULTS Enhanced Sbk1 expression was found in the liver of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice and fatty acid (FA)-challenged hepatocytes. SBK1 knockdown in mouse liver cells augmented FA uptake and lipid accumulation. Similarly, liver-specific SBK1 knockout ( Lsko ) mice displayed more severe hepatosteatosis and higher expression of genes in FA uptake and lipogenesis than the Flox/Flox ( Fl/Fl ) control mice when fed the HFD. The HFD-fed Lsko mice also showed symptoms of hyperglycemia, poor systemic glucose tolerance, and lower insulin sensitivity than the Fl/Fl mice. On the other hand, hepatic Sbk1 overexpression alleviated the high-fructose diet-induced hepatosteatosis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia in mice. White adipose tissue browning was also observed in hepatic SBK1 -overexpressed mice. Moreover, we found that SBK1 was a positive regulator of FGF21 in the liver during energy surplus conditions. Mechanistically, SBK1 phosphorylates the orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (Nur77) on serine 344 to promote hepatic FGF21 expression and inhibit the transcription of genes involved in lipid anabolism. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our data suggest that SBK1 is a regulator of the metabolic adaption against obesity through the Nur77-FGF21 pathway.

Abstract
The observation that diabetic retinopathy (DR) typically takes decades to develop suggests the existence of an endogenous system that protects from diabetes-induced damage. To investigate the existance of such a system, primary human retinal endothelial cells were cultured in either normal glucose (5 mmol/L) or high glucose (30 mmol/L; HG). Prolonged exposure to HG was beneficial instead of detrimental. Although tumor necrosis factor-α-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 was unaffected after 1 day of HG, it waned as the exposure to HG was extended. Similarly, oxidative stress-induced death decreased with prolonged exposure to HG. Furthermore, mitochondrial functionality, which was compromised by 1 day of HG, was improved by 10 days of HG, and this change required increased clearance of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy). Finally, antagonizing mitochondrial dynamics compromised the cells' ability to endure HG: susceptibility to cell death increased, and basal barrier function and responsiveness to vascular endothelial growth factor deteriorated. These observations indicate the existence of an endogenous system that protects human retinal endothelial cells from the deleterious effects of HG. Hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial adaptation is a plausible contributor to the mechanism responsible for the delayed onset of DR; loss of hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial adaptation may set the stage for the development of DR.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia is known to be associated with unfavourable outcomes in subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), but the pathogenic mechanism is unclear, and there is also a lack of effective therapeutic drugs in clinical practice. Phosphorylation of GSK3β at serine 9 can inhibit its activity to further worsen SAH. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect and the potential mechanism of the GSK3β inhibitor TDZD8 on brain injury in a hyperglycaemic SAH rat model. Hyperglycaemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin for 3 days. The SAH model was established by injecting fresh autologous femoral artery blood into the prechiasmatic cistern. p-GSK3β (Ser9) expression was induced by intraperitoneal injection of TDZD8 (30 min post-SAH). The expression levels of GSK3β, p-GSK3β, SOD1/2, caspase 3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by western blot analysis. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis of basal temporal lobe. Neurological scores were calculated to determine behavioural recovery. Neuronal survival was detected by Nissl staining. Hyperglycaemia significantly decreased p-GSK3β expression, further exacerbated neurobehavioural deficits and increased oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis in the brain after SAH compared to normal glycaemic SAH rats and hyperglycaemic rats. In addition, hyperglycaemic SAH rats had obvious oxidative stress and apoptosis. However, TDZD8 effectively decreased cleaved caspase 3 expression and TUNEL-positive cells and increased the Bcl2/Bax ratio, expression of SOD1/2 and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme compared with hyperglycaemic SAH rats. The GSK3β inhibitor TDZD8 has therapeutic potential for hyperglycaemic SAH. The neuroprotective effect of TDZD8 appears to be mediated through its antioxidative and antiapoptotic activity.

Abstract
Findings of preclinical studies and recent phase I/II clinical trials have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a significant role in the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Thus, MSCs have attracted increasing attention as a novel regenerative therapy for kidney diseases. This review summarizes recent literature on the roles and potential mechanisms, including hyperglycemia regulation, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, pro-angiogenesis, and renal function protection, of MSC-based treatment methods for DKD. This review provides novel insights into understanding the pathogenesis of DKD and guiding the development of biological therapies.

Abstract
The current dogma of type 1 diabetes pathogenesis asserts that an autoimmune attack leads to the destruction of pancreatic β cells, with subsequent hyperglycemia. This dogma is based on islet autoantibodies emerging prior to the onset of type 1 diabetes. In this issue of the JCI, Warncke et al. report on their investigation of the development of hyperglycemia below the diabetes threshold as an early proxy of β cell demise. Surprisingly, they found that an elevation in blood glucose preceded the appearance of autoimmunity. This observation calls into question the importance of autoimmunity as the primary cause of β cell destruction and has implications for prevention and treatment in diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to introduce PFCnet (placental features classification network), an multimodel model for evaluating and classifying placental features in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal late pregnancy. Deep learning algorithms could be utilized to fully automate the examination of alterations in the placenta caused by hyperglycemia. METHODS A total of 718 placental ultrasound images, including 139 cases of GDM, were collected, including gray-scale images (GSIs) and microflow images (MFIs). Ultrasonic assessment parameters and perinatal features were recorded. We divided gestational age into two categories for analysis (37 weeks and 37 weeks) based on the cut-off value level of placental maturity. The PFCnet model was introduced for identifying placental characteristics from normal and GDM pregnancies after extensive training and optimization. The model was scored using metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS In view of multimodal fusion (GSIs and MFIs) and deep network optimization training, the overall diagnostic performance of the PFCnet model depending on the region of interest (ROI) was excellent (AUC: 93%), with a sensitivity of 89%, a specificity of 92%, and an accuracy of 92% in the independent test set. The fusion features of GSIs and MFIs in the placenta showed a higher discriminative power than single-mode features (accuracy: Fusion 92% vs. GSIs 84% vs. MFIs 82%). The independent test set at 37 weeks exhibited a better specificity (75% vs. 69%) but a lower sensitivity(95% vs. 100%). CONCLUSIONS With its dual channel identification of placental parenchymal and vascular lesions in obstetric complications, the PFCnet classification model has the potential to be a useful tool for detecting placental tissue abnormalities caused by hyperglycemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although glucose has a well-recognized protumoral role and the pancreas is a critical organ in adjusting glucose metabolism, the clinical value of hyperglycemia in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) remains largely unidentified. METHODS A retrospective study including 335 patients with pathologically confirmed pNENs was conducted. A baseline fasting blood glucose concentration ≥5.6 mmol/L was defined as hyperglycemia (otherwise, normal). Survival and regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Compared with patients with normal glucose, patients with hyperglycemia (47.8%) had a higher proportion of preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) (36.9% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001), lymph node involvement (31.0% vs. 14.6%, p = 0.002), distant metastasis (34.4% vs. 22.9%, p = 0.019), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) ≥ 37 U/mL (16.6% vs. 7.2%, p = 0.009). Hyperglycemia was associated with CA19-9 ≥ 37 U/mL (Odds Ratio (OR) = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.11-9.17, p = 0.031), lymph node involvement (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.02-5.28, p = 0.045), nonfunctional tumors (OR = 9.90, 95% CI: 2.11-46.34, p = 0.004), and preexisting diabetes (OR = 18.24, 95% CI: 4.06-81.95, p < 0.001). Hyperglycemia was an independent determinant for overall survival in the multivariate analysis (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.31-5.34, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of overall survival and is associated with preexisting DM or lymphatic metastasis in patients with pNENs. Patients with hyperglycemia and resectable pNENs may benefit from radical resection with dissection of regional lymph nodes.

Abstract
Birds naturally have blood glucose concentrations that are nearly double levels measured for mammals of similar body size and studies have shown that birds are resistant to insulin-mediated glucose uptake into tissues. While a combination of high blood glucose and insulin resistance is associated with diabetes-related pathologies in mammals, birds do not develop such complications. Moreover, studies have shown that birds are resistant to oxidative stress and protein glycation and in fact, live longer than similar-sized mammals. This review seeks to explore how birds regulate blood glucose as well as various theories that might explain their apparent resistance to insulin-mediated glucose uptake and adaptations that enable them to thrive in a state of relative hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a comprehensive expression to identify a condition of chronic hyperglycemia whose causes derive from different metabolic disorders characterized by altered insulin secretion or faulty insulin effect on its targets or often both mechanisms. Diabetes and atherosclerosis are, from the point of view of cardio- and cerebrovascular risk, two complementary diseases. Beyond shared aspects such as inflammation and oxidative stress, there are multiple molecular mechanisms by which they feed off each other: chronic hyperglycemia and advanced glycosylation end-products (AGE) promote ‘accelerated atherosclerosis’ through the induction of endothelial damage and cellular dysfunction. These diseases impact the vascular system and, therefore, the risk of developing cardio- and cerebrovascular events is now evident, but the observation of this significant correlation has its roots in past decades. Cerebrovascular complications make diabetic patients 2–6 times more susceptible to a stroke event and this risk is magnified in younger individuals and in patients with hypertension and complications in other vascular beds. In addition, when patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia experience an acute ischemic stroke, they are more likely to die or be severely disabled and less likely to benefit from the one FDA-approved therapy, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. Experimental stroke models have revealed that chronic hyperglycemia leads to deficits in cerebrovascular structure and function that may explain some of the clinical observations. Increased edema, neovascularization, and protease expression as well as altered vascular reactivity and tone may be involved and point to potential therapeutic targets. Further study is needed to fully understand this complex disease state and the breadth of its manifestation in the cerebrovasculature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Atherosclerosis is driven by an inflammatory process of the vascular wall. The novel orphan G-protein coupled receptor 5B of family C (GPRC5B) is involved in drosophila sugar and lipid metabolism as well as mice adipose tissue inflammation. Here, we investigated the role of GPRC5B in the pro-atherogenic mechanisms of hyperglycemia and vascular inflammation. METHODS Immortalized and primary endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were used for stimulation with high glucose or different cytokines. Adenoviral- or plasmid-driven GPRC5B overexpression and siRNA-mediated knockdown were performed in these cells to analyze functional and mechanistic pathways of GPRC5B. RESULTS In ECs and VSMCs, stimulation with high glucose, TNFα or LPS induced a significant upregulation of endogenous GPRC5B mRNA and protein levels. GPRC5B overexpression and knockdown increased and attenuated, respectively, the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 as well as the pro-atherogenic vascular adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Furthermore, the expression and activity of the metalloproteinase MMP-9, a component of atherosclerotic plaque stabilization, were significantly enhanced by GPRC5B overexpression. Mechanistically, GPRC5B increased the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and activated NFκB through a direct interaction with the tyrosine kinase Fyn. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that GPRC5B is upregulated in response to high glucose and pro-inflammatory signaling. GPRC5B functionally modulates the inflammatory activity in cells of the vascular wall, suggesting a pro-atherogenic GPRC5B-dependent positive feedback loop via Fyn and NFκB. Thus, GPRC5B warrants further attention as a novel pharmacological target for the treatment of vascular inflammation and possibly atherogenesis.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses have been shown to induce hyperglycemia, yet the underlying mechanism is still largely unclear. GLP-1 is an important intestinal hormone for regulating glucose homeostasis; however, few studies have investigated the influence of digestive tract Salmonella infection on enteroendocrine L cell secretions. In this study, we established a model of Salmonella-infected piglets by oral gavage in order to analyze the effects of Salmonella infection on enteroendocrine L cell function. Furthermore, in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered to STC-1 cells to clarify its direct effect on GLP-1 secretion. The results showed that significantly increased blood glucose in the group of Salmonella-infected piglets was observed, and Salmonella infection decreased blood GLP-1 content. Then, ileal epithelium damage was observed by histological detection, and this was further verified by TUNEL staining. We identified activation of TLR signaling demonstrating up-regulated expressions of TLR4 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ΚB). Furthermore, it was shown that Salmonella induced pyroptosis of enteroendocrine L cells and enhanced the secretion of IL-1β through augmenting gene and protein expressions of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a carboxyl-terminal CARD (ASC), Caspase 1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD). Meanwhile, in vitro LPS treatment induced the pyroptosis of STC-1 cells and reduced the secretion of GLP-1. Altogether, the results demonstrated that Salmonella infection can reduce secretion of GLP-1 by inducing pyroptosis of intestinal L cells, which may eventually result in hyperglycemia. The results provided evidence for the cause of hyperglycemia induced by inflammation and shed new light on glucose homeostasis regulation.

Abstract
CONTEXT Dietary fat and protein impact postprandial hyperglycemia in people with type 1 diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Glucoregulatory hormones are also known to modulate gastric emptying and may contribute to this effect. OBJECTIVE Investigate the effects of fat and protein on glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), glucagon-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon secretion. METHODS 2 crossover euglycemic insulin clamp clinical trials at 2 Australian pediatric diabetes centers. Participants were 12-21 years (n = 21) with type 1 diabetes for ≥1 year. Participants consumed a low-protein (LP) or high-protein (HP) meal in Study 1, and low-protein/low-fat (LPLF) or high-protein/high-fat (HPHF) meal in Study 2, all containing 30 g of carbohydrate. An insulin clamp was used to maintain postprandial euglycemia and plasma glucoregulatory hormones were measured every 30 minutes for 5 hours. Data from both cohorts (n = 11, 10) were analyzed separately. The main outcome measure was area under the curve of GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. RESULTS Meals low in fat and protein had minimal effect on GLP-1, while there was sustained elevation after HP (80.3 ± 16.8 pmol/L) vs LP (56.9 ± 18.6), P = .016, and HPHF (103.0 ± 26.9) vs LPLF (69.5 ± 31.9) meals, P = .002. The prompt rise in GIP after all meals was greater after HP (190.2 ± 35.7 pmol/L) vs LP (152.3 ± 23.3), P = .003, and HPHF (258.6 ± 31.0) vs LPLF (151.7 ± 29.4), P < .001. A rise in glucagon was also seen in response to protein, and HP (292.5 ± 88.1 pg/mL) vs LP (182.8 ± 48.5), P = .010. CONCLUSION The impact of fat and protein on postprandial glucose excursions may be mediated by the differential secretion of glucoregulatory hormones. Further studies to better understand these mechanisms may lead to improved personalized postprandial glucose management.

Abstract
Macrophages, the main immune cells in the skin, form an innate immune barrier. Under physiological conditions, skin maintains immune barrier function through macrophage phagocytosis and antigen presentation. Parenchymal and stromal cell regeneration plays an important role in skin injury repair and uses macrophage plasticity to influence and stabilize the skin microenvironment. Diabetic skin lesions are the most common diabetes complication and are involved in the early pathophysiology of diabetic foot. Therefore, studying the initial link in diabetic skin lesions is a research hot spot in the early pathogenesis of diabetic foot. Skin inflammation caused by hyperglycaemia, oxidative stress and other injuries is an important feature, but the specific mechanism is unknown. Recent studies have suggested that chronic inflammatory injury is widely involved in a variety of skin diseases, and whether it plays an important role in diabetic skin lesions is unclear. In this review, current research hotspots were combined with the pathogenesis of diabetic skin lesions and analysed from the perspectives of the physiological function of skin macrophages, the impairment of skin macrophages in diabetes, and the mechanism of chronic inflammatory injury in macrophages to provide a theoretical basis for early screening and evaluation of diabetic foot.

Abstract
Endothelial injury plays a vital role in vascular lesions from diabetes mellitus (DM). Therapeutic targets against endothelial damage may provide critical venues for the treatment of diabetic vascular diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (PPARβ) is a crucial regulator in DM and its complications. However, the molecular signal mediating the roles of PPARβ in DM-induced endothelial dysfunction is not fully understood. The impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation and destruction of the endothelium structures appeared in high glucose incubated rat aortic rings. A high glucose level significantly decreased the expression of PPARβ and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) at the mRNA and protein levels, and reduced the concentration of nitric oxide (NO), which occurred in parallel with an increase in the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and 3-nitrotyrosine. The effect of high glucose was inhibited by GW0742, a PPARβ agonist. Both GSK0660 (PPARβ antagonist) and NG-nitro-l-arginine-methyl ester (NOS inhibitor) could reverse the protective effects of GW0742. These results suggest that the activation of nitrative stress may, at least in part, mediate the down-regulation of PPARβ in high glucose-impaired endothelial function in rat aorta. PPARβ-nitrative stress may hold potential in treating vascular complications from DM.

Abstract
Multiple and complex aetiological processes underlie diabetes mellitus, which invariably result in the development of hyperglycaemia. Although there are two prevalent distinct forms of the disease, that is, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, accumulating evidence indicates that these syndromes share more aetiopathological mechanisms than originally thought. This compels a rethinking of the approaches to prevent and treat the different manifestations of what eventually becomes a hyperglycaemic state. This review aims to address the involvement of neutrophils, the most abundant type of granulocytes involved in the initiation of the acute phase of inflammation, in the aetiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, with a focus on type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We review the evidence that neutrophils are the first leucocytes to react to and accumulate inside target tissues of diabetes, such as the pancreas and insulin-sensitive tissues. We then review available data on the role of neutrophils and their functional alteration, with a focus on NETosis, in the progression towards clinical disease. Finally, we review potential approaches as secondary and adjunctive treatments to limit neutrophil-mediated damage in the prevention of the progression of subclinical disease to clinical hyperglycaemia.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperglycemia is an important causative factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and permanent localization of intestinal GLUT2 in the brush border membrane is an important reason of postprandial hyperglycemia. Berberine, a small molecule derived from Coptidis rhizome, has been found to be potent at lowering blood glucose, but how berberine lowers postprandial blood glucose is still elusive. Here, we investigated the effect of berberine on intestinal glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) translocation and intestinal glucose absorption in type 2 diabetes mouse model. Type 2 diabetes was induced by feeding of a high-fat diet and injection of streptozotocin and diabetic mice were treated with berberine for 6 weeks. The effects of berberine on intestinal glucose transport and GLUT2 translocation were accessed in isolated intestines and intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6), respectively. We found that berberine treatment improved glucose tolerance and systemic insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice. Furthermore, berberine decreased intestinal glucose transport and inhibited GLUT2 translocation from cytoplasm to brush border membrane in intestinal epithelial cells. Mechanistically, berberine inhibited intestinal insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1R) phosphorylation and thus reduced localization of PLC-β2 in the membrane, leading to decreased GLUT2 translocation. These results suggest that berberine reduces intestinal glucose absorption through inhibiting IGF-1R-PLC-β2-GLUT2 signal pathway.

Abstract
It is well established in the microbiome field that antibiotic (ATB) use and metabolic disease both impact the structure and function of the gut microbiome. But how host and microbial metabolism interacts with ATB susceptibility to affect the resulting dysbiosis remains poorly understood. In a streptozotocin-induced model of hyperglycemia (HG), we use a combined metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomic approach to profile changes in microbiome taxonomic composition, transcriptional activity, and metabolite abundance both pre- and post-ATB challenge. We find that HG impacts both microbiome structure and metabolism, ultimately increasing susceptibility to amoxicillin. HG exacerbates drug-induced dysbiosis and increases both phosphotransferase system activity and energy catabolism compared to controls. Finally, HG and ATB co-treatment increases pathogen susceptibility and reduces survival in a Salmonella enterica infection model. Our data demonstrate that induced HG is sufficient to modify the cecal metabolite pool, worsen the severity of ATB dysbiosis, and decrease colonization resistance.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose level termed hyperglycemia affecting skeletal muscle structure and function by an unclear molecular mechanism. This study aimed to investigate the effect and underlying mechanism(s) of hyperglycemia on skeletal muscle both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with hyperglycemic condition (25 mM) for 48 h significantly inhibited C2C12 myoblast proliferation detected by MTT assay whilst flow cytometry revealed an interruption of the cell cycle at subG1 and G2/M phases. An exposure to hyperglycemic condition significantly decreased the myosin heavy chain (MHC) protein expression in the differentiated myotube and tibialis anterior (TA) muscle of Wistar rats. In addition, the muscle cross-section area (MCA) of TA muscle in diabetic rats were significantly decreased compared to the non-diabetic control. Western blotting analysis of C2C12 myoblasts and differentiated myotubes revealed the increased expressions of cleaved-caspase-9 and cleaved-caspase-3, but not cleaved-caspase-8. Of note, these caspases in the TA muscles were not changed under hyperglycemic condition. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of the hyperglycemic myoblasts and TA muscles revealed modulation of the gene expression of sirtuins (SIRTs). In C2C12 myoblasts, the expressions of SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT4 were upregulated whilst SIRT7 was downregulated. Meanwhile, the expressions of SIRT1, SIRT2 in TA muscles were upregulated whilst SIRT4 was downregulated. Taken together, this study showed that hyperglycemia induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in myoblasts, and protein degradation and atrophy in skeletal muscle most likely via modulation of SIRTs gene expression.

Abstract
The development of efficient insulin producing cells (IPC) induction system is fundamental for the regenerative clinical applications targeting Diabetes Mellitus. This study was set to generate IPC from human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) capable of surviving under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo. METHODS hDPSCs were cultured in IPCs induction media augmented with Cerium or Yttrium oxide nanoparticles along with selected growth factors & cytokines. The generated IPC were subjected to hypoxic stress in vitro to evaluate the ability of the nanoparticles to combat hypoxia. Next, they were labelled and implanted into diabetic rats. Twenty eight days later, blood glucose and serum insulin levels, hepatic hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities were measured. Pancreatic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pancreatic duodenal homeobox1 (Pdx-1), hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and Caspase-3 genes expression level were evaluated. RESULTS hDPSCs were successfully differentiated into IPCs after incubation with the inductive media enriched with nanoparticles. The generated IPCs released significant amounts of insulin in response to increasing glucose concentration both in vitro & in vivo. The generated IPCs showed up-regulation in the expression levels of anti-apoptotic genes in concomitant with down-regulation in the expression levels of hypoxic, and apoptotic genes. The in vivo study confirmed the homing of PKH-26-labeled cells in pancreas of treated groups. A significant up-regulation in the expression of pancreatic VEGF and PDX-1 genes associated with significant down-regulation in the expression of pancreatic HIF-1α and caspase-3 was evident. CONCLUSION The achieved results highlight the promising role of the Cerium & Yttrium oxide nanoparticles in promoting the generation of IPCs that have the ability to combat hypoxia and govern diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid causes hyperglycemia, which is common in patients with or without diabetes. Prolonged hyperglycemia can be experienced even after the discontinuation of glucocorticoid use. In the present study, we examined the time course of blood glucose level in hospital patients who received transient glucocorticoid treatment. In addition, the mechanism of prolonged hyperglycemia was investigated by using dexamethasone (Dexa)-treated mice and cultured cells. The blood glucose level in glucose tolerance tests, level of insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) were examined during and after Dexa loading in mice, with histone acetylation level of the promoter region. Mice showed prolonged hyperglycemia during and after transient Dexa loading accompanied by persistently lower blood GLP-1 level and higher activity of DPP-4. The expression level of Dpp-4 was increased in the mononuclear cells and the promoter region of Dpp-4 was hyperacetylated during and after the transient Dexa treatment. In vitro experiments also indicated development of histone hyperacetylation in the Dpp-4 promoter region during and after Dexa treatment. The upregulation of Dpp-4 in cultured cells was significantly inhibited by a histone acetyltransferase inhibitor. Moreover, the histone hyperacetylation induced by Dexa was reversible by treatment with a sirtuin histone deacetylase activator, nicotinamide mononucleotide. We identified persistent reduction in blood GLP-1 level with hyperglycemia during and after Dexa treatment in mice, associated with histone hyperacetylation of promoter region of Dpp-4. The results unveil a novel mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia, and suggest therapeutic intervention through epigenetic modification of Dpp-4.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a severe chronic metabolic disease with increased mortality and morbidity. The pathological progression of DM is intimately connected with the formation and activation of oxidative stress (OS). Especially, the involvement of OS with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation has shown a vital role in the pathophysiological development of DM and related complications. Interestingly, accumulating studies have focused on the exploration of natural antioxidants for their improvement on DM. Of specific interest is gallic acid (GA), which is rich in many edible and herbal plants and has progressively demonstrated robust antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on metabolic disorders. To provide a better understanding of its potential therapeutic impacts and enhancement of human health care, the available research evidence supporting the effective antidiabetic properties of GA and relevant derivatives are needed to be summarized and discussed, with emphasis on its regulation on OS and inflammation against DM. This review aims to highlight the latest viewpoints and current research information on the role of OS in diabetes and to provide scientific support for GA as a potential antihypoglycemic agent for DM and its complications.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a frequent complication of longstanding diabetes, which comprises a complex interplay of microvascular abnormalities and neurodegeneration. Zebrafish harboring a homozygous mutation in the pancreatic transcription factor pdx1 display a diabetic phenotype with survival into adulthood, and are therefore uniquely suitable among zebrafish models for studying pathologies associated with persistent diabetic conditions. We have previously shown that, starting at three months of age, pdx1 mutants exhibit not only vascular but also neuro-retinal pathologies manifesting as photoreceptor dysfunction and loss, similar to human diabetic retinopathy. Here, we further characterize injury and regenerative responses and examine the effects on progenitor cell populations. Consistent with a negative impact of hyperglycemia on neurogenesis, stem cells of the ciliary marginal zone show an exacerbation of aging-related proliferative decline. In contrast to the robust Müller glial cell proliferation seen following acute retinal injury, the pdx1 mutant shows replenishment of both rod and cone photoreceptors from slow-cycling, neurod-expressing progenitors which first accumulate in the inner nuclear layer. Overall, we demonstrate a diabetic retinopathy model which shows pathological features of the human disease evolving alongside an ongoing restorative process that replaces lost photoreceptors, at the same time suggesting an unappreciated phenotypic continuum between multipotent and photoreceptor-committed progenitors.

We tested whether dysregulated glucose and/or triglyceride (TG) metabolism has an impact on EPC homeostasis. The analysis of metabolic factors associated with circulating EPC number in humans revealed that postprandial hyperglycemia is negatively correlated with circulating EPC number, and this correlation appears to be further enhanced in the presence of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia (hTG). We therefore examined the effect of glucose/TG spikes on bone marrow lineage-sca-1+ c-kit+ (LSK) cells in mice, because primitive EPCs reside in bone marrow LSK fraction. Repetitive glucose + lipid (GL) spikes, but not glucose (G) or lipid (L) spikes alone, induced senescence-like phenotypes of LSK cells, and this phenomenon was reversible after cessation of GL spikes. G spikes and GL spikes differentially affected transcriptional program of LSK cell metabolism and differentiation. GL spikes upregulated a histone H3K27 demethylase JMJD3, and inhibition of JMJD3 eliminated GL spikes-induced LSK cell senescence-like phenotypes. These observations suggest that postprandial glucose/TG dysmetabolism modulate transcriptional regulation in LSK cells through H3K27 demethylase-mediated epigenetic regulation, leading to senescence-like phenotypes of LSK cells, reduced number of circulating EPCs, and development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Combination of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We found that 1) hypertriglyceridemia may enhance the negative impact of hyperglycemia on circulating EPC number in humans and 2) metabolic stress induced by glucose + triglyceride spikes in mice results in senescence-like phenotypes of bone marrow stem/progenitor cells via H3K27me3 demethylase-mediated epigenetic regulation. These findings have important implications for understanding the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of blood glucose control and the kidneys' functions, depending on fasting, in the streptozotocin-induced diabetes model in rats via TNF-α, NLRP-3, TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression in the present study. 32 Wistar albino rats were allocated randomly into four main groups; H (Healthy, n = 6), HF (Healthy fasting, n = 6), D (Diabetes, n = 10), DF (Diabetes and fasting, n = 10). Blood glucose and HbA1c levels significantly increased in the D group compared to the healthy ones (p < 0.05). However, the fasting period significantly improved blood glucose and HbA1c levels 14 days after STZ induced diabetes in rats compared to the D group. Similar findings we obtained for serum (BUN-creatinine) and urine samples (creatinine and urea levels). STZ induced high glucose levels significantly up-regulated TNF-α, NLRP-3, TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression and fasting significantly decreased these parameters when compared to diabetic rats. Histopathological staining also demonstrated the protective effects of fasting on diabetic kidney tissue. In conclusion, intermittent fasting regulated blood glucose level as well as decreasing harmful effects of diabetes on kidney tissue. The fasting period significantly decreased the hyperglycemia-related inflammatory cytokine damage on kidneys and also reduced apoptosis in favor of living organisms.

Abstract
CONTEXT Gestational diabetes is associated with a long-term risk of developing a disorder of glucose metabolism. However, neither the metabolic changes characteristic of gestational diabetes in a large, multi-ancestry cohort nor the ability of metabolic changes during pregnancy, beyond glucose levels, to identify women at high risk for progression to a disorder of glucose metabolism has been examined. OBJECTIVE This work aims to identify circulating metabolites present at approximately 28 weeks' gestation associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and development of a disorder of glucose metabolism 10 to 14 years later. METHODS Conventional clinical and targeted metabolomics analyses were performed on fasting and 1-hour serum samples following a 75-g glucose load at approximately 28 weeks' gestation from 2290 women who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study. Postpartum metabolic traits included fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose following a 75-g glucose load, insulin resistance estimated by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and disorders of glucose metabolism (prediabetes and type 2 diabetes) during the HAPO Follow-Up Study. RESULTS Per-metabolite analyses identified numerous metabolites, ranging from amino acids and carbohydrates to fatty acids and lipids, before and 1-hour after a glucose load that were associated with GDM as well as development of a disorder of glucose metabolism and metabolic traits 10 to 14 years post partum. A core group of fasting and 1-hour metabolites mediated, in part, the relationship between GDM and postpartum disorders of glucose metabolism, with the fasting and 1-hour metabolites accounting for 15.7% (7.1%-30.8%) and 35.4% (14.3%-101.0%) of the total effect size, respectively. For prediction of a postpartum disorder of glucose metabolism, the addition of circulating fasting or 1-hour metabolites at approximately 28 weeks' gestation showed little improvement in prediction performance compared to clinical factors alone. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate an association of multiple metabolites with GDM and postpartum metabolic traits and begin to define the underlying pathophysiology of the transition from GDM to a postpartum disorder of glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Previous studies implicated the histamine H4 receptor in renal pathophysiology. The aim here is to elucidate the role of this receptor on renal function using H4 receptor knockout mice (H4R-/-). Healthy and diabetic H4R-/- mice compared to their C57BL/6J wild-type counterpart for renal function and the expression of crucial tubular proteins. H4R-/- and wild-type mice, matched for ages, showed comparable weight gain curves reaching similar median weight at the end of the study. However, H4R-/- mice displayed a higher basal glycemia. H4R-/- mice showed a lower urine 24 h outflow, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) compared to wild-type mice. Consistently, H4R-/- mice presented a higher expression of megalin and a lower basal expression of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE)3 and aquaporin (AQP)2. According to these basal differences, diabetic H4R-/- mice developed more severe hyperglycemia and a higher 24 h urine volume, but a lower increase in ACR and decrease in urine pH were observed. These events were paralleled by a reduced NHE3 over-expression and megalin loss in diabetic H4R-/- mice. The AQP1 and AQP7 patterns were also different between H4R-/- and wild-type diabetic mice. The collected results highlight the role of the histamine H4 receptor in the control of renal reabsorption processes, particularly albumin uptake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) is one of the dietary fibers that may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol and/or glucose metabolism, but its efficacy and mode of action remain unclear. METHODS In the present study, we examined the anti-hyperglycemic effect of α-CD after oral loading of glucose and liquid meal in mice. RESULTS Administration of 2 g/kg α-CD suppressed hyperglycemia after glucose loading, which was associated with increased glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion and enhanced hepatic glucose sequestration. By contrast, 1 g/kg α-CD similarly suppressed hyperglycemia, but without increasing secretions of GLP-1 and insulin. Furthermore, oral α-CD administration disrupts lipid micelle formation through its inclusion of lecithin in the gut luminal fluid. Importantly, prior inclusion of α-CD with lecithin in vitro nullified the anti-hyperglycemic effect of α-CD in vivo, which was associated with increased intestinal mRNA expressions of SREBP2-target genes (Ldlr, Hmgcr, Pcsk9, and Srebp2). CONCLUSIONS α-CD elicits its anti-hyperglycemic effect after glucose loading by inducing lecithin inclusion in the gut lumen and activating SREBP2, which is known to induce cholecystokinin secretion to suppress hepatic glucose production via a gut/brain/liver axis.

Abstract
As a chronic metabolic disease, diabetes mellitus (DM) creates a hyperglycemic micromilieu around implants, resulting inthe high complication and failure rate of implantation because of mitochondrial dysfunction in hyperglycemia. To address the daunting issue, the authors innovatively devised and developed mitochondria-targeted orthopedic implants consisted of nutrient element coatings and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Dual nutrient elements, in the modality of ZnO and Sr(OH)2 , are assembled onto the sulfonated PEEK surface (Zn&Sr-SPEEK). The results indicate the synergistic liberation of Zn2+ and Sr2+ from coating massacres pathogenic bacteria and dramatically facilitates cyto-activity of osteoblasts upon the hyperglycemic niche. Intriguingly, Zn&Sr-SPEEK implants are demonstrated to have a robust ability to recuperate hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial dynamic disequilibrium and dysfunction by means of Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) gene down-regulation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) resurgence, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination, ultimately enhancing osteogenicity of osteoblasts. In vivo evaluations utilizing diabetic rat femoral/tibia defect model at 4 and 8 weeks further confirm that nutrient element coatings substantially augment bone remodeling and osseointegration. Altogether, this study not only reveals the importance of Zn2+ and Sr2+ modulation on mitochondrial dynamics that contributes to bone formation and osseointegration, but also provides a novel orthopedic implant for diabetic patients with mitochondrial modulation capability.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus exhibit hyperglucagonemia, or excess glucagon secretion, which may be the underlying cause of the hyperglycemia of diabetes. Defective alpha cell secretory responses to glucose and paracrine effectors in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes may drive the development of hyperglucagonemia. Therefore, uncovering the mechanisms that regulate glucagon secretion from the pancreatic alpha cell is critical for developing improved treatments for diabetes. In this review, we focus on aspects of alpha cell biology for possible mechanisms for alpha cell dysfunction in diabetes: proglucagon processing, intrinsic and paracrine control of glucagon secretion, secretory granule dynamics, and alterations in intracellular trafficking. We explore possible clues gleaned from these studies in how inhibition of glucagon secretion can be targeted as a treatment for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of higher and earlier morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to people without diabetes. In addition, women with T1D are at an even higher relative risk for CVD than men. However, the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. Atherosclerotic changes are known to progress early in life among people with T1D, yet it is less clear when excess CVD risk begins in females with T1D. This review explores the prevalence of classical CVD risk factors (such as glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, albuminuria, smoking, diet, physical inactivity), as well as of novel biomarkers (such as chronic inflammation), in children and adolescents with T1D with particular regard to sex-related differences in risk profile. We also summarize gaps where further research and clearer clinical guidance are needed to better address this issue. Considering that girls with T1D might have a more adverse CVD risk profile than boys, the early identification of and sex-specific intervention in T1D would have the potential to reduce later CVD morbidity and excess mortality in females with T1D. To conclude, based on an extensive review of the existing literature, we found a clear difference between boys and girls with T1D in the presence of individual CVD risk factors as well as in overall CVD risk profiles; the girls were on the whole more impacted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular risk in diabetes remains elevated despite glucose-lowering therapies. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia induces trained immunity in macrophages, promoting persistent proatherogenic characteristics. METHODS Bone marrow-derived macrophages from control mice and mice with diabetes were grown in physiological glucose (5 mmol/L) and subjected to RNA sequencing (n=6), assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (n=6), and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (n=6) for determination of hyperglycemia-induced trained immunity. Bone marrow transplantation from mice with (n=9) or without (n=6) diabetes into (normoglycemic) Ldlr-/- mice was used to assess its functional significance in vivo. Evidence of hyperglycemia-induced trained immunity was sought in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with diabetes (n=8) compared with control subjects (n=16) and in human atherosclerotic plaque macrophages excised by laser capture microdissection. RESULTS In macrophages, high extracellular glucose promoted proinflammatory gene expression and proatherogenic functional characteristics through glycolysis-dependent mechanisms. Bone marrow-derived macrophages from diabetic mice retained these characteristics, even when cultured in physiological glucose, indicating hyperglycemia-induced trained immunity. Bone marrow transplantation from diabetic mice into (normoglycemic) Ldlr-/- mice increased aortic root atherosclerosis, confirming a disease-relevant and persistent form of trained innate immunity. Integrated assay for transposase accessible chromatin, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and RNA sequencing analyses of hematopoietic stem cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages revealed a proinflammatory priming effect in diabetes. The pattern of open chromatin implicated transcription factor Runt-related transcription factor 1 (Runx1). Similarly, transcriptomes of atherosclerotic plaque macrophages and peripheral leukocytes in patients with type 2 diabetes were enriched for Runx1 targets, consistent with a potential role in human disease. Pharmacological inhibition of Runx1 in vitro inhibited the trained phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia-induced trained immunity may explain why targeting elevated glucose is ineffective in reducing macrovascular risk in diabetes and suggests new targets for disease prevention and therapy.
