ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prediabetes, a stage characterized by chronic inflammation, obesity and insulin resistance. Morin and 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) are natural flavonoids and alkaloids extracted from Morus nigra L., exhibiting anti-hyperglycemic efficacy. However, the benefits of DNJ are shadowed by the adverse events, and the mechanism of morin in anti-diabetes remains under investigation.PURPOSE:
In this study, the combinational efficacy and mechanisms of DNJ and morin in ameliorating insulin resistance and pre-diabetes were investigated.METHODS:
The mice model with prediabetes and Alpha mouse liver-12 (AML-12) cell model with insulin resistance were established. The anti-prediabetic efficacy of the drug combination was determined via analyzing the blood glucose, lipid profiles and inflammatory factors. The application of network pharmacology provided guidance for the research mechanism.RESULTS:
In our study, the intervention of morin ameliorated the insulin resistance via activating the Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). However, PPARγ activation leaded to the lipid accumulation in prediabetic mice. The combination of 5 mg/kg dose of DNJ and 25 mg/kg morin effectively hindered the progression of T2DM by 87.56%, which was achieved via inhibition of Suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) and promotion of PPARγ as well as SOCS2 expression. Furthermore, this treatment exhibited notable capabilities in combating dyslipidemia and adipogenesis, achieved by suppressing the Cluster of differentiation 36/ Sterol-regulatory element binding proteins-1/ Fatty acid synthetase (CD36/Serbp1/Fas) signaling.CONCLUSION:
This research confirmed that the drug combination of DNJ and morin in ameliorating insulin resistance and lipid accumulation, and revealed the potential mechanisms. In summary, the combination of DNJ and morin is an underlying alternative pharmaceutical composition in T2DM prevention.Palabras clave
