Liraglutide has been extensively applied in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and also has hepatoprotective effects. However, the role of liraglutide treatment on liver injury in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) induced by streptozotocin (STZ) and its underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In the present study, diabetes was initiated in experimental animals by single-dose intraperitoneal inoculation of STZ. Forty female C57BL/6J mice were equally assigned into five groups: diabetic group, insulin+diabetic group, liraglutide+diabetic group, insulin+liraglutide+diabetic group, and control group for eight weeks. Diabetic mice exhibited a significantly elevated blood glucose level and decreased body weight, and morphological changes of increased steatosis and apoptosis were observed in the liver compared with the control. Furthermore, a significant increase in the levels of malondialdehyde and inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and the proapoptotic proteins caspase-3 and Bax were observed in the livers of diabetic mice, together with marked increases in antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) as well as antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, all of which were significantly mitigated by treatment with liraglutide, insulin, and their combinations. Interestingly, liraglutide monotherapy showed better efficacy in ameliorating liver injury in T1DM mice than insulin monotherapy, similar to the combined drug therapy. Furthermore, the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-associated molecules was upregulated in the liver of mice treated with liraglutide or insulin. The results of the present study suggested that liraglutide improves T1DM-induced liver injury and may have important implications for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with T1DM.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and the pattern of long-term changes of fasting plasma C-peptide in patients with mitochondrial diabetes (MD), and to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of MD. Methods: We retrieved MD patients with long-term follow-up at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2005 to July 2021 through the medical record retrieval system and retrospectively analyzed their clinical data, biochemical parameters, fasting plasma C-peptide, glycosylated hemoglobin and treatment regimens. Non-parametric receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the relationship between exercise test-related plasma lactate levels and suffering from MD. Results: A total of 12 MD patients were included, with clinical characteristics of early-onset, normal or low body weight, hearing loss, maternal inheritance, and negative islet-related autoantibodies. In addition, patients with MD exhibited significantly higher mean plasma lactate levels immediately after exercise compared to patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) (8.39 ± 2.75 vs. 3.53 ± 1.47 mmol/L, p=0.003) and delayed recovery time after exercise (6.02 ± 2.65 vs. 2.17 ± 1.27 mmol/L, p=0.011). The optimal cut-off points identified were 5.5 and 3.4 mmol/L for plasma lactate levels immediately after and 30 minutes after exercise, respectively. The fasting plasma C-peptide levels decreased as a negative exponential function with disease progression (Y= 1.343*e
-0.07776X , R2 = 0.4154). Treatment regimens in MD patients were varied, with no metformin users and a weak correlation between insulin dosage and body weight. Conclusions: The increased level of plasma lactate during exercise or its delayed recovery after exercise would contribute to the diagnosis of MD. Changes of fasting plasma C-peptide in MD patients over the course of the disease indicated a rapid decline in the early stages, followed by a gradual slowing rate of decline.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by an absolute deficiency of insulin and dependence on insulin therapy. Therefore, glycemic control and management are important for T1DM patients, particularly glycemic variability, which is associated with the development of diabetic complications. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the glycemic variability in T1DM patients so far. Our objective was to identify the effects of food intake on glycemic variability in T1DM patients. Methods: This was a single-center study that took place in the outpatient clinics of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. A total of 68 Chinese T1DM patients between June 2018 and June 2019 were enrolled. After the baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated, each participant underwent 14-day flash glucose monitoring (FGM). They recorded caloric intake of breakfast, lunch, and dinner at least 3 days/week using a "Menthol Health" app. After 2 weeks, we obtained the FGM data and did further data analysis. Baseline characteristics and glycemic variability index generated by FGM were compared among groups. A general linear model was used to compare data among groups after adjusting for potential confounding factors. The quantitative relationship between two continuous variables was explored by constructing a linear regression equation. Results: The results showed that the C-peptide level was independently correlated with the mean of daily differences (MODD) after adjusting for the possible confounders (β = − 0.239, p = 0.046). The dietary nutrition intake had no effect on glycemic variability. However, the nutritional composition of carbohydrate, fat, and protein was an independent risk factor for time spent in hypoglycemia (TBR) post adjustment (β = − 0.213, p = 0.054). However, there was no impact of daily total energy intake on glycemic variability index. Conclusion: In our study, dietary nutrition intake had no effect on glycemic variability, but residual β-cell function was identified as an influencing factor for glycemic variability in T1DM adults. However, nutritional macronutrient composition played some roles in the occurrence of hypoglycemia. This might provide new evidence for the clinical glycemic control and management of T1DM in the Chinese population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) is a severe adverse reaction caused by specific drugs. However, little information is available about sequelae following DIHS/DRESS resolution from an endocrinologist's perspective. This study aimed to investigate the endocrine sequelae following DIHS/DRESS, from clinical feature to etiology. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the patients diagnosed with DIHS/DRESS in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) during the period of 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2017, and those who developed endocrine disorders after DIHS/DRESS were further examined. We also reviewed the literature, from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2017, on involvement of endocrine glands in DIHS/DRESS patients. Results. Three patients developed both autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and type 1 diabetes (T1DM)/fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1DM) of the 45 patients. Seven cases involving more than two endocrine glands were reported in the literature. Our results indicated that DIHS/DRESS is a potential etiological factor of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS), especially APS III. Conclusions. Patients require careful long-term follow-up after DIHS/DRESS. Involvement of endocrine glands, especially FT1DM, should always be monitored in patients with a history of DIHS/DRESS. This study indicated that DIHS/DRESS could lead to APS, especially APS III, providing novel insights into the etiological factors of APS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. Previous studies have revealed dysregulated circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we explored the serum levels of miR-21, miR-25, miR-146a, and miR-181a in patients with autoimmune diabetes (T1D and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA)) compared with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nondiabetic individuals. Design, patients, and measurements. The serum levels of miR-21, miR-25, miR-146a, and miR-181a in patients with T1D (n = 29), LADA (n = 16), and T2D (n = 31) and in nondiabetic individuals (n = 19) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were evaluated to determine the discriminatory performances of these four miRNAs. Furthermore, target genes and pathways potentially modulated by these four miRNAs were predicted by bioinformatics analysis to investigate the possible functions of these miRNAs in autoimmune diabetes. Subsequently, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for autoimmune diabetes, and a nomogram was established. Results. miR-21, miR-25, miR-146a, and miR-181a were significantly downregulated in the serum of patients with autoimmune diabetes compared with those in T2D patients and nondiabetic individuals (p<0.001). The areas under the ROC curves of these four miRNAs were greater than 0.80 (p<0.001). Bioinformatics analysis suggested that miR-21, miR-25, miR-146a, and miR-181a regulated multiple genes in pathways associated with immunity, inflammatory responses, hyperglycemia, and metabolism, which are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified miR-25 (odds ratio (OR): 0.001, p<0.05), miR-146a (OR: 0.136, p<0.05), and fasting C-peptide levels (OR: 0.064, p<0.05) as independent predictors of autoimmune diabetes. Conclusions. miR-25 and miR-146a may serve as potential circulating biomarkers and provide insights into the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Insulin and liraglutide have been demonstrated to control blood glucose and exert neuroprotective effects. However, the impact of liraglutide or insulin alone or in combination on brain pathology in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and their underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the present study, diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced via intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in mice and subsequently mice were treated with insulin, liraglutide, a combination of the two drugs or saline. Changes in body weight and blood glucose were assessed weekly. The pathological changes in the brain tissue and the apoptosis of neurons were assessed using H&E staining and TUNEL staining. The mRNA and protein expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting, respectively. Moreover, Ki67 protein expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and the mRNA and protein expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins were examined using RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. The results of the present study suggested that DM mice developed hyperglycemia and weight loss and also exhibited significantly increased neural cell apoptosis and significantly reduced numbers of Ki67-positive cells. Liraglutide significantly decreased blood glucose levels in DM mice, whereas both insulin and the combination of the two drugs failed to control blood glucose well. Insulin, liraglutide and their combination also failed to control body weight well, but significantly attenuated brain pathological changes and activation of the pro-apoptotic proteins Caspase-3 and Bax, which may have resulted in the significant increase in the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-associated molecules such as Wnt3a and S9-pGSK-3β. Liraglutide also promoted the protein expression of the neurogenesis marker of Ki67 and the antiapoptotic factor Bcl-2. These results suggested that insulin and liraglutide may improve brain damage via upregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and could be of therapeutic relevance for improvement of cognitive impairment in patients with DM.
