RESUMO

The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) is an international society focused on the research, education, and clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Case of the week is a case series hosted on the SCMR website ( https://www.scmr.org ) that demonstrates the utility and importance of CMR in the clinical diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. Each case consists of the clinical presentation and a discussion of the condition and the role of CMR in diagnosis and guiding clinical management. The cases are all instructive and helpful in the approach to patient management. We present a digital archive of the 2020 Case of the Week series of 11 cases as a means of further enhancing the education of those interested in CMR and as a means of more readily identifying these cases using a PubMed or similar search engine.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is a strong link between urbanization and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although a multitude of mechanisms have been proposed, there are no studies evaluating the impact of ambient air pollutants and the propensity to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus. We hypothesized that exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (<2.5 mum; PM(2.5)) exaggerates diet-induced insulin resistance, adipose inflammation, and visceral adiposity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Male C57BL/6 mice were fed high-fat chow for 10 weeks and randomly assigned to concentrated ambient PM(2.5) or filtered air (n=14 per group) for 24 weeks. PM(2.5)-exposed C57BL/6 mice exhibited marked whole-body insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, and an increase in visceral adiposity. PM(2.5) exposure induced signaling abnormalities characteristic of insulin resistance, including decreased Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation in the endothelium and increased protein kinase C expression. These abnormalilties were associated with abnormalities in vascular relaxation to insulin and acetylcholine. PM(2.5) increased adipose tissue macrophages (F4/80(+) cells) in visceral fat expressing higher levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha/interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-10/N-acetyl-galactosamine specific lectin 1. To test the impact of PM(2.5) in eliciting direct monocyte infiltration into fat, we rendered FVBN mice expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) under control of a monocyte-specific promoter (c-fms, c-fms(YFP)) diabetic over 10 weeks and then exposed these mice to PM(2.5) or saline intratracheally. PM(2.5) induced YFP cell accumulation in visceral fat and potentiated YFP cell adhesion in the microcirculation. CONCLUSIONS: PM(2.5) exposure exaggerates insulin resistance and visceral inflammation/adiposity. These findings provide a new link between air pollution and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
