Background . Our study aimed to observe the effect of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin on diabetic atherosclerosis and investigate subsequent mechanism. Methods Aortic was induced in streptozotocin ApoE −/− mice by feeding with high-fat diet, administrated intragastrically for 12 weeks as treatment. Effects indices fat metabolism, IL-1 β , IL-18, NLRP3 protein levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. The evaluated oil red O hematoxylin-eosin...

To explore the mechanism that exenatide reduces cardiomyocyte apoptosis via adiponectin pathway in vitro.Cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into control group (group C), diabetic D), + treatment DE), APPL1 overexpression OE), and knock-down KD). After 48 h culture, rate, level cell culture fluid, expression levels of APPL1, p-AMPK, PPARα NF-κB detected by TUNEL, ELISA, Western blotting, respectively.Compared to C, rate was markedly increased, decreased, p-AMPK down-regulated up-regulated D...

Islet β cell apoptosis plays an important role in type 2 diabetes. We previously reported that Par-4-mediated islet is induced by high-glucose/fatty acid levels. In the present study, we show Par-4, which levels, interacts with and inhibits TERT cytoplasm then translocates to nucleus. Par-4 also inhibited Akt phosphorylation, leading apoptosis. cells under conditions knocked out diabetic mice, led up-regulation of improvement rate. phosphorylation aggressive addition, biological film...

Our research group firstly discovered endothelial-overexpressed lipopolysaccharide-associated factor 1 ( EOLA1 , GenBank number AY074889) as a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responsive gene in ECV304 cells. The previous studies have further demonstrated the association of with metallothionein 2A (MT2A), while role during LPS-induced inflammatory response cells is unknown. In this report, we determined subcellular localization and regulatory capacity on vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) to...

Impaired skin wound healing is one of the main diabetic complications. However, current treatment strategy limited. Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH), as a component respiratory chain, plays an important role in cellular bioenergetics. Here, we identified that mGPDH deficiency promotes fibroblast extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion and accelerates healing. Specifically, expression was significantly increased. By contrast, lack promoted migration ECM remodelling. Mechanistically,...
