RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which still lacks adequate therapy. Irisin, a cleavage peptide off fibronectin type III domain-containing 5, has been shown to preserve cardiac function in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Whether or not irisin plays a cardioprotective role in DCM is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS: T1DM was induced by multiple low-dose intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). Our current study showed that irisin expression/level was lower in the heart and serum of mice with STZ-induced TIDM. Irisin supplementation by intraperitoneal injection improved the impaired cardiac function in mice with DCM, which was ascribed to the inhibition of ferroptosis, because the increased ferroptosis, associated with increased cardiac malondialdehyde (MDA), decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) and protein expressions of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), was ameliorated by irisin. In the presence of erastin, a ferroptosis inducer, the irisin-mediated protective effects were blocked. Mechanistically, irisin treatment increased Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and decreased p53 K382 acetylation, which decreased p53 protein expression by increasing its degradation, consequently upregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expressions. Thus, irisin-mediated reduction in p53 decreases ferroptosis and protects cardiomyocytes against injury due to high glucose. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that irisin could improve cardiac function by suppressing ferroptosis in T1DM via the SIRT1-p53-SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway. Irisin may be a therapeutic approach in the management of T1DM-induced cardiomyopathy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Secondary endpoints were duration of response, blood pressure control, safety, overall and progression-free survival rates, MIBG uptake, and correlations with genetic background. RESULTS: The study included 25 patients. Twenty-four patients had distant metastases, 17 (68%) had hormonally active tumors, and 13 (52%) had previously received antineoplastic treatment. In 24 evaluable patients, the ORR was 38%, including 2 patients with complete response, and the DCR was 83%; median time to response was 12.5 months (95% confidence interval, 4.6-25.1). Twelve patients had sporadic disease, among whom the ORR was 25% and DCR was 83%. Twelve patients had hereditary disease ( SDHB , VHL , RET ); among these, the ORR was 50%, and DCR was 83%. Plasma metanephrines normalized in 30% of patients and improved by greater than 50% in 46%. Sixteen patients had hormonally active tumors and hypertension; in 9 (56%) of these, blood pressure normalized, leading to discontinuation of antihypertensive therapy.The most common adverse events were grades 1-2 nausea/vomiting and transient bone marrow suppression. One patient developed premature ovarian failure. Reversible grades 3-4 myelosuppression were seen in 7 patients (28%). One patient had fatal pneumonitis. CONCLUSIONS: HSA- 131 I-MIBG is associated with a high DCR in patients with MPPGL, regardless of underlying genetic mutation.

A gelled Pickering emulsion system was fabricated by first stabilizing linseed oil droplets in water with dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DACNCs) and then cross-linking with cystamine. Cross-linking of the DACNCs was shown to occur by a reaction between the amine groups on cystamine and the aldehyde groups on the CNCs, causing gelation of the nanocellulose suspension. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the cystamine-cross-linked CNCs (cysCNCs), demonstrating their presence. Transmission electron microscopy images evidenced that cross-linking between cysCNCs took place. This cross-linking was utilized in a linseed oil-in-water Pickering emulsion system, creating a novel gelled Pickering emulsion system. The rheological properties of both DACNC suspensions and nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions were monitored during the cross-linking reaction. Dynamic light scattering and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of the Pickering emulsion before gelling imaged CNC-stabilized oil droplets along with isolated CNC rods and CNC clusters, which had not been adsorbed to the oil droplet surfaces. Atomic force microscopy imaging of the air-dried gelled Pickering emulsion also demonstrated the presence of free CNCs alongside the oil droplets and the cross-linked CNC network directly at the oil-water interface on the oil droplet surfaces. Finally, these gelled Pickering emulsions were mixed with poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions and fabricated into self-healing composite coating systems. These self-healing composite coatings were then scratched and viewed under both an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope before and after self-healing. The linseed oil was demonstrated to leak into the scratches, healing the gap automatically and giving a practical approach for a variety of potential applications.
