Neuregulins (NRGs) are a family of signaling proteins that bind to receptor tyrosine kinases of the ErbB family (ErbB2 to ErbB4), which can homo- or heterodimerize depending on their structural features and cell type. Many studies have proposed that decreased NRG levels are a common characteristic of obesity. In liver and adipose tissue, the increase in NRG expression has protective effects against obesity. However, it is still unknown whether ErbBs expression is altered in this pathology. We hypothesized that high fat diet-induced obesity downregulates ErbB receptors expression in obese mice compared to normal weight mice. Males C57BL/6 mice (n=6-7 for each group) were fed for 12 weeks and divided into: (i) control diet (CD; 10%-kcal fat, 20%-kcal protein, 70%-kcal carbohydrates), and (ii) high fat diet (HFD; 60%-kcal fat, 20%-kcal protein, 20%-kcal carbohydrates). General parameters and ErbBs expression (qPCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot) were evaluated. We observed a significant increase in final body weight (47%), adipose tissue to body weight ratio (244%) and HOMA-IR (69%), among other parameters, in obese mice. In HFD group significantly decreased ErbB2 (48%) and ErbB3 (66%) mRNA levels in liver (no change in ErbB4), and ErbB2 (43%), ErbB3 (76%) and ErbB4 (35%) in adipose tissue, compared to CD. Furthermore, ErbB2 and ErbB3 protein levels decreased significantly in HFD group compared to the CD in liver. Therefore, our results suggest that HFD-induced obesity significantly decreases ErbBs expression in liver and adipose tissue in this murine model, that may be associated with alterations in the NRG pathway in obese mice.
Las neuregulinas (NRGs) son una familia de proteínas de señalización que se unen a receptores tirosina quinasas de la familia ErbB (ErbB2 a ErbB4), que pueden homo- o heterodimerizar dependiendo de sus características estructurales y del tipo celular. Estudios han propuesto que la disminución de los niveles de NRG es una característica común de la obesidad. En el hígado y el tejido adiposo (TA), el aumento de la expresión de NRG tiene efectos protectores contra la obesidad. Sin embargo, aún se desconoce si la expresión de ErbBs está alterada en esta patología. Nuestra hipótesis es que la obesidad inducida por una dieta alta en grasas (DAG) disminuye la expresión de los ErbB en ratones obesos. Ratones machos C57BL/6 (n=6-7 para c/grupo) fueron alimentados durante 12 semanas y divididos en: (i) dieta control (DC; 10%-kcal grasa, 20%-kcal proteína, 70%-kcal carbohidratos), y (ii) DAG (60%-kcal grasa, 20%-kcal proteína, 20%-kcal carbohidratos). Se evaluaron los parámetros generales y la expresión de ErbBs (qPCR, inmunohistoquímica y Western blot). Observamos un aumento significativo del peso corporal final (47%), de la relación tejido adiposo/peso corporal (244%) y del HOMA-IR (69%), entre otros parámetros, en ratones obesos. En este grupo disminuyó significativamente los niveles de ARNm de ErbB2 (48%) y ErbB3 (66%) en el hígado (sin cambios en ErbB4), y de ErbB2 (43%), ErbB3 (76%) y ErbB4 (35%) en el TA. Además, los niveles de proteína ErbB2 y ErbB3 disminuyeron significativamente, en comparación con el grupo DC en el hígado. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la obesidad inducida por DAG disminuye significativamente la expresión de ErbBs en el hígado y el TA, que puede estar asociado con alteraciones en la vía NRG en ratones obesos.

Background: Scientific information on the impact of malaria on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after recovery from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is limited in the Ghanaian context. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between selected risk markers of T2DM in falciparum malaria patients post-COVID-19 or not at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional comparative study of 38-recovered COVID-19 adult participants with malaria and 40 unexposed COVID-19 adults with malaria at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ghana. Demographic, anthropometric and levels of glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein and lipid profiles were measured in the two groups of participants under fasting conditions. Parasitaemia was assessed microscopically but insulin resistance and beta-cell function were assessed by the homeostatic model. Results: The COVID-19 exposed participants were older (p=0.035) with lower parasitaemia (p=0.025) but higher mean levels of insulin, insulin resistance, and beta-cell function compared with their unexposed counterparts (p<0.05). Parasitaemia correlated positively with a number of the measured indices of diabetogenic risk markers in the COVID-19 exposed group only, and predicted (Adjusted R2=0.751; p=0.031) by beta-cell function, C-reactive protein and triglycerides with the model explaining about 75% of the observed variation. Parasitaemia could only be predicted (Adjusted R2=0.245; p=0.002) by C-reactive protein with the model explaining just about a quarter of the observed variation in the COVID-19 unexposed group. Insulin resistance and sub-optimal beta-cell function were detected in both groups of participants. Conclusion: Falciparum malaria is associated with risk markers for development of T2DM irrespective of COVID-19 exposure. Insulin resistance, inflammation and sub-optimal beta-cell secretory function may drive the risk. The observed diabetogenic risk is higher in the recovered COVID-19 participants.

Objective@#To analyze the relationship between new surrogate marks of insulin resistance (IR) and bone mineral content (BMC) in adolescents, and predictive value of the new surrogate marks on low bone mass, so as to provide scientific basis for early identification and prevention of skeletal related diseases in adolescents.@*Methods@#A total of 1 594 adolescents aged 12-18 years in Yinchuan City were selected by convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling from September 2017 to September 2020, and triglyceride and glucose index (TyG), triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) were calculated as new simplified IR index. The correlation between different simplified IR indexes and BMC level was analyzed by partial correlation. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between IR index and low bone mass, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to analyze its evaluation effect on low bone mass.@*Results@#After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, smoking, drinking, family history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), the new surrogate marks of IR were positively correlated with BMC level (TyG: r =0.11, TyG-BMI: r =0.58, TG/HDL-C: r =0.21, P <0.01). After further adjustment of body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM), the relationship between IR indexes and BMC turned into negative correlation (TyG: r =-0.20, TyG-BMI: r =-0.18, TG/HDL-C: r=-0.14, P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, smoking, drinking, family history of hypertension, SBP and DBP, Logistic regression results showed that the increase of TyG, TyG-BMI and TG/HDL-C levels reduced the possibility of low bone mass in adolescents (TyG: OR=0.63, 95%CI = 0.40-0.98, TyG-BMI: OR=0.94, 95%CI =0.93-0.96, TG/HDL-C: OR=0.31, 95%CI=0.17-0.58, P <0.01). After adjusting BMI, FM and LM, the above results were completely reversed. Girls with high TyG and TG/HDL-C levels were 4.95 and 4.38 times more likely to have low bone mass than those with low TyG and TG/HDL-C levels (TyG: OR=4.95, 95%CI =1.29- 18.95 , TG/HDL-C: OR=4.38, 95%CI=1.04-18.50, P <0.05). ROC curve showed that TyG-BMI had the best predictive value on low bone mass (AUC=0.80, 95% CI=0.77-0.83, P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#The new surrogate marks of IR in adolescents are negatively correlated with adolescent BMC, of which TyG-BMI is the best for assessing of low bone mass and can serving as a reliable indicator for early identification of low bone mass.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,with the improvement of living standards,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has a gradually increasing trend.miRNA-122 is one of the most abundant microRNAs in the liver,which plays an important role in maintaining the environmental stability and differentiation of the liver.Exercise training is a non-drug treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,which may improve liver lipid metabolism by regulating the expression of miRNA-122. OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of miRNA-122 on the pathological factors related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as the effects of exercise on the expression of miRNA-122 and the occurrence and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS:The first author searched the databases of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Geenmedical,EBSCO,Medline,Web of Science,and Elsevier using"non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,microRNA,microRNA-122,lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance,exercise,physical exercise,exercise training"as the English and Chinese search terms for all relevant literature published before June 5,2022.All included documents were screened,summarized,and analyzed.Finally,68 documents were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the healthy control group,the expression of circulating miRNA-122 is increased in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.The level of miRNA-122 may show different expression levels at different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.miRNA-122 can regulate the expression of downstream-related proteins,influence lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance and other pathogenic factors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by targeting base complementary pairing sites on mRNA or directly acting as physiological ligands of some RNA receptors.Different exercise modes can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Therefore,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease need to complete at least 120 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week to have a positive effect.For patients who can tolerate various exercises,priority should be given to the combination of aerobic and resistance exercises 4-5 times a week.The exercise intensity should be 50%-70%of the maximum heart rate and the exercise should last for>3 months.For patients with poor tolerance,resistance exercise may be more feasible than aerobic exercise.In addition,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can also choose proper exercise modes according to their own disease conditions(such as liver enzymes and lipid levels).Exercise can be used as a feasible strategy to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,reduce liver steatosis,and alleviate liver inflammatory response and insulin resistance.Exercise training can regulate the expression of miRNA-122,but in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,the effect of exercise on miRNA-122 and its related signal pathways remains to be studied.

BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is the key pathological link of type 2 diabetes.Static exercise can effectively improve skeletal muscle insulin resistance,but the mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of static exercise on insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic mice based on the phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/glucose transporter(GLUT4)signaling pathway. METHODS:After 1 week of adaptive feeding,7 out of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly selected as blank group and fed common diet,while the other mice were fed high-fat diet and taken to prepare type 2 diabetes models through the low-dose streptozotocin intraperitoneal injection.Twenty-four mice were successfully modeled and they were randomly divided into model group(n=8),metformin group(n=8)and static exercise group(n=8),which continued to be fed high-fat diet.The metformin group was given 200 mg/kg metformin dissolved in normal saline(2 ml/kg)by gavage,once a day,for 6 weeks.The static exercise group was given normal saline daily by gavage and carried out static exercise,30 minutes a day,6 days per week.The model group was given the same dose of normal saline daily by gavage without exercise intervention.After the intervention,the fasting blood glucose of each group was detected,the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed,and the area under the glycemic curve was calculated.Glycosylated hemoglobin,serum insulin,insulin resistance index were detected by ELISA.Total cholesterol,triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein were detected using biochemical methods.The mRNA expression levels of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 in the gastrocnemius of mice were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Morphological changes of the gastrocnemius were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank group,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,area under the glycemic curve,insulin resistance index,total cholesterol,triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Whereas,these indicators were significantly lower in the static exercise and metformin group than the model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly declined in the model group(P<0.01)and the mRNA expression of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 in the gastrocnemius of mice were also significantly reduced(P<0.01).These indicators were significantly elevated in the metformin group and static exercise group compared with the blank group(P<0.01).Compared with the blank group,the muscle fibers in the model group were disordered,and the muscle cells atrophied and the muscle fiber gap widened.The cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was significantly decreased in the model group compared with the blank group(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,atrophy of the gastrocnemius fibers and muscle fiber space were improved in the static exercise group and the metformin group,and the cross-sectional area of muscle fiber was significantly increased in both groups(P<0.01).These findings indicate that static resistance training may promote glucose uptake and utilization by up-regulating the expression of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 mRNA in skeletal muscle tissue,thereby improving the morphology and function of skeletal muscle tissue,alleviating insulin resistance and regulating glucose homeostasis.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training(HIIT)and moderate-intensity continuous training(MICT)on body composition and glucose metabolism-related indexes in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes and to compare the improvement effect of the two exercise modalities,thereby providing a reference basis for the development of exercise prescription for overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS:The Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMbase,Web of Science,CNKI,CBM,WanFang,and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of HIIT and MICT interventions on body composition and glucose metabolism-related indicators in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes.The search was conducted from database inception to June 2022.Meta-analysis of outcome indicators was performed using RevMan 5.4. RESULTS:(1)A total of 13 randomized controlled trials with 371 subjects were included,and the overall quality of the included studies was relatively high.(2)There was no significant difference in the improvement of body composition between HIIT and MICT[body mass:weighted mean difference(WMD)=2.44,95%confidence interval(CI):-3.01-7.89,P>0.05;body mass index:WMD=0.28,95%CI:-1.21-1.77,P>0.05;waist circumference:WMD=2.16,95%CI:-2.04-6.35,P>0.05;body fat percentage:WMD=0.47,95%CI:-2.11-3.05,P>0.05).(3)The results of subgroup analysis showed that there was a significant difference in body mass and body mass index between the"training cycle≥12 weeks"subgroup and the"training frequency≤3 times/week"subgroup(training cycle≥12 weeks subgroup:WMD=4.25,95%CI:0.90-7.59,P=0.01;WMD=2.71,95%CI:1.92-3.51,P<0.000 01;training frequency≤3 times/week subgroup:WMD=5.14,95%CI:1.7-8.57,P=0.003;WMD=1.67,95%CI:0.66-2.67,P=0.001).(4)The results of sensitivity analysis showed that there was a significant difference in body fat percentage between the HIIT and MICT groups(WMD=2.17,95%CI:1.20-3.14,P<0.000 1),while there was no significant difference in the improvement of glucose metabolism between the HIIT and MICT groups(fasting blood glucose:WMD=0.31,95%CI:-0.17-0.79,P>0.05;glycosylated hemoglobin:WMD=0.01,95%CI:-0.19-0.20,P>0.05;insulin resistance index:WMD=-0.14,95%CI:-0.71-0.42,P>0.05).(5)The results of subgroup analysis showed that fasting blood glucose was significantly different in the subgroup of"training frequency≤3 times/week"(WMD=0.92,95%CI:0.25-1.60,P=0.007)and glycosylated hemoglobin was significantly different in the"training frequency>3 times/week"subgroup(WMD=-0.2,95%CI:-0.3 to-0.1,P<0.000 1). CONCLUSION:Overall,there is no significant difference between HIIT and MICT in improving body composition such as body mass,body mass index,waist circumference,body fat percentage as well as improving glucose metabolic indexes such as fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin and insulin resistance index in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes.When the training period is≥12 weeks and the training frequency is≤3 times/week,MICT has a better effect on the improvement of body mass as well as body mass index.

BACKGROUND:The relationship between insulin resistance and intestinal mucosal permeability may be related to excess fat,inflammation and oxidative stress.At present,the influence of different kinds of exercise on this relationship has not been fully studied,and the relevant mechanism needs to be further studied. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of continuous exercise and cumulative exercise on intestinal mucosal permeability of insulin-resistant mice induced by high fat diet,and to compare the effects of different intensities of exercise,thereby evaluating the health-promoting effects of cumulative exercise. METHODS:Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed high-fat diet to induce insulin resistance,and mice with successful modeling were randomly divided into five groups:high-fat insulin resistance group,general dietary insulin resistance group,moderate-intensity continuous exercise group,moderate-intensity cumulative exercise group,and high-intensity cumulative exercise group.Mice in the high-fat insulin resistance group received high-fat diet and mice in the other groups were fed normally.All the exercise groups received 8 weeks of different forms of treadmill training.Mice in the moderate-intensity sustained exercise group exercised for 50 minutes at a speed of 11 m/min.Mice in the moderate-intensity cumulative exercise group were subjected to 12.5 minutes of exercise,four times a day(3 hours between sessions),at a speed of 11 m/min.Mice in the high-intensity cumulative exercise group exercised for 7.5 minutes once,four times a day(3 hours between sessions),at a speed of 19 m/min.At 48 hours after the final session,the levels of lipopolysaccharide and D-lactic acid in serum of mice were detected,the pathological changes of ileal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the expression of intestinal compact linking protein was detected by western blot.The expression of interleukin-10,tumor necrosis factor αin blood and ileum and intestinal secreted immunoglobulin A were detected by ELISA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance was associated with body mass gain.The serum levels of endotoxin and D-lactic acid significantly increased,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α in serum and small intestine were significantly increased.Long-term regular cumulative exercise and continuous exercise could reduce the body mass of insulin-resistant mice,significantly improve glucose metabolism,and correct or improve insulin resistance symptoms.Both long-term regular cumulative exercise and continuous exercise could increase the expression of zonula occludens protein 1 and increase the secretion of secreted immunoglobulin A in intestinal mucosal tissue,thereby improving intestinal mucosal permeability,enhancing intestinal immune function,reducing the content of lipopolysaccharide in serum,and reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors in circulating blood and intestinal tissue.Finally,it could protect the intestinal mucosal barrier of insulin-resistant mice.Compared with medium-intensity cumulative exercise and continuous exercise,high-intensity cumulative exercise had more obvious effects on reducing body mass,improving insulin resistance symptoms and protecting intestinal mucosal barrier in insulin-resistant mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of insulin sensitizer rosiglitazone on blood METRNL levels. Methods After fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 3 months, obese mice were treated with rosiglitazone for 1 month. Glucose tolerance was tested with glucose tolerance test (GTT), and METRNL levels in blood were measured by ELISA. Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of METRNL in various tissues such as muscle, liver, white fat, brown fat, brain, spleen and kidney, as well as the expression of mitochondrial proteins in brown adipose tissue. Results Glucose tolerance of animals fed a high-fat diet was improved in rosiglitazone group, and blood METRNL levels were also increased significantly in this group. Rosiglitazone treatment increased the expression of METRNL in brown fat and kidney tissue. There was no effect on METRNL expression in muscle, liver, white fat, brain and spleen. Rosiglitazone increased the expression of mitochondrial-associated proteins in brown adipose tissue. Conclusion The insulin sensitizer rosiglitazone might increase the serum METRNL level by increasing the METRNL expression in brown fat and kidney tissue, suggesting that METRNL may be involved in the therapeutic effect of rosiglitazone on diabetes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential active ingredients and targets of Baihu Jia Renshentang(BHJRST) for the treatment of obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) by network pharmacology and in vivo experiments. MethodUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) was used to analyze and identify the material basis of BHJRST. Subsequently, potential targets for the action of the active ingredients were queried in databases such as ChEMBL, Therapeutic Target Database(TTD), YaTCM, DisGeNET and Traditional Chinese Medicine on Immuno-Oncology(TCMIO), and the shared targets were identified by taking the intersection of these targets with disease targets. The shared targets were imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network, the hub genes were identified by cytoHubba plug-in, and molecular docking was used to validate the binding energy of the hub genes to the bioactive ingredients in BHJRST. Meanwhile, the shared targets were imported into the DAVID platform for gene ontology(GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The predicted results were subsequently verified by animal experiments. Eighteen 8-week-old male skeletal muscle insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor dysfunction(MKR) mice were induced by a high-fat diet for 12 weeks in order to prepare a mouse model of obesity combined with T2DM. The mice were randomly divided into the model group, metformin group(0.2 g·kg-1) and BHJRST group(27 g·kg-1 in raw material), and another 6 male FVB mice of the same age as the normal group. The mice in each group were were given the corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal and model groups were given the same amount of distilled water by gavage, 1 time/d for 6 consecutive weeks. At the end of administration, the body mass, Lee's index, fasting blood glucose(FBG), oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) of mice in each group were examined, and the pathological morphology of the white adipose tissue of the epididymis was observed, and the expression of the mRNA of the hub genes in the white adipose tissue of the epididymis was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR). ResultA total of 200 bioactive components of BHJRST were identified, of which 64 bioactive components were reverse-matched to 384 targets, and a total of 308 targets were associated with obesity combined with T2DM. Hub genes included mitogen-activated protein kinase 1(MAPK1), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3), MAPK3, interleukin(IL)-2, Janus kinase 1(JAK1), nuclear transcription factor-κB p65(RELA), estrogen receptor 1(ESR1), transcription factor AP-1(JUN), MAPK14 and lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase(LCK). GO functional annotation showed that it was mainly enriched in cytoplasm, cell membrane and nucleus, and was closely related to important biological processes such as peptide serine phosphorylation, protein phosphorylation and inflammation. In KEGG enrichment analysis, metabolic pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) and MAPK signal pathways were significantly enriched. The molecular docking results showed that the hub genes had a stable binding relationship with 10 bioactive components, including quercetin, isoliquiritigenin, and morin, in BHJRST. The results of animal experiments showed that BHJRST could significantly reduce body mass, Lee's index and FBG levels(P<0.01) in mice with obesity combined with T2DM, improve the pathological changes of white adipose tissue, and down-regulate the the mRNA expression of the hub genes in white adipose tissue of the epididymis(P<0.01). ConclusionIn this study, 10 potentially active components such as quercetin, isoliquiritigenin, and morin in BHJRST are identified through network pharmacology and animal experiments, and it is possible to treat obesity combined with T2DM by regulating lipid and atherosclerosis, phosphatidylinositol PI3K/Akt and MAPK signal pathways, which provides important clues and theoretical basis for the study of its mechanism and clinical application.
