Abstract

Abstract Background Telmisartan is a well-established angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker that improves insulin sensitivity in animal models of obesity and insulin resistance, as well as in humans. Telmisartan has been reported to function as a partial agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ, which is also targeted by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase (SIRT1). Here, we investigated the pathways through which telmisartan acts on skeletal muscle, in vitro as well as in vivo. Methods Nine-week-old male db/db mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet, with orally administrated either vehicle (carboxymethyl-cellulose, CMC), 5 mg/kg telmisartan, or 5 mg/kg telmisartan and 1 mg/kg GW9662, a selective irreversible antagonist of PPARγ, for 5 weeks. Effects of telmisartan on Sirt1 mRNA, AMPK phosphorylation, and NAD+/NADH ratio were determined in C2C12 cultured myocytes. Results and discussion Telmisartan treatment improved insulin sensitivity in obese db/db mice fed a high-fat diet and led to reduction in the size of hypertrophic pancreatic islets in these mice. Moreover, in vitro treatment with telmisartan led to increased expression of Sirt1 mRNA in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells; the increase in Sirt1 mRNA in telmisartan-treated C2C12 myoblasts occurred concomitantly with an increase in AMPK phosphorylation, an increase in NAD+/NADH ratio, and increases in the mRNA levels of PGC1α, FATP1, ACO, and GLUT4. Conclusions Our results indicate that telmisartan acts through a PPARγ-independent pathway, but at least partially exerts its effects by acting directly on skeletal muscle AMPK/SIRT1 pathways.

Abstract

Abstract Background Growing evidence suggests that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we explored gender disparities in EAT volume (EATV) and its impact on coronary atherosclerosis. Methods The study population consisted of 90 consecutive subjects (age: 63 ± 12 years; men: 47, women: 43) who underwent 256-slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography. EATV was measured as the sum of cross-sectional epicardial fat area on CT images, from the lower surface of the left pulmonary artery origin to the apex. Subjects were segregated into the CAD group (coronary luminal narrowing > 50%) and non-CAD group. Results EATV/body surface area (BSA) was higher among men in the CAD group than in the non-CAD group (62 ± 13 vs. 33 ± 10 cm3/m2, p < 0.0001), but did not differ significantly among women in the 2 groups (49 ± 18 vs. 42 ± 9 cm3/m2, not significant). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that EATV/BSA was the single predictor for >50% coronary luminal narrowing in men (p < 0.0001). Predictors excluded were age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. Conclusions Increased EATV is strongly associated with coronary atherosclerosis in men.

Abstract

Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have vasoprotective effects. This study investigated whether a recently approved DPP-4 inhibitor, linagliptin (Lina), suppresses atherogenesis in non-diabetic apolipoprotein-E deficient (ApoE−/−) mice, and examined its effects on endothelial function. Methods and results: Lina (10 mg/kg/day) was administered orally to ApoE−/− mice for 20 weeks. Lina reduced atherogenesis without alteration of metabolic parameters including blood glucose level compared with control (P b 0.05). Results of immunohistochemical analyses and quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that Lina significantly decreased inflammatory molecule expression and macrophage infiltration in the atherosclerotic aorta. Lina administration to ApoE−/− mice for 9 weeks ameliorated endothelium-dependent vasodilation compared with that in untreated mice. Plasma active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level was significantly higher in the treated group (P b 0.05). Exendin-4 (Ex-4), a GLP-1 analog, ameliorated endothelium-dependent vasodilation impaired by palmitic acid (PA) in wild-type mouse aortic segments. Ex-4 promoted phosphorylation of eNOSSer1177 and Akt, both of which were abrogated by PA, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In addition, Lina administration to ApoE−/− mice decreased oxidative stress, as determined by urinary 8-OHdG secretion and NADPH oxidase subunit expression in the abdominal aorta. Conclusion: Lina inhibited atherogenesis in non-diabetic ApoE−/− mice. Amelioration of endothelial dysfunction associated with a reduction of oxidative stress by GLP-1 contributes to the atheroprotective effects of Lina.

Abstract

Background: Variants in the LZTR1 (leucine‐zipper‐like transcription regulator 1) gene (OMIM #600574) have been reported in recessive Noonan syndrome patients. In vivo evidence from animal models to support its causative role is lacking. Methods: By CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing, we generated lztr1‐mutated zebrafish (Danio rerio). Analyses of histopathology and downstream signaling were performed to investigate the pathogenesis of cardiac and extracardiac abnormalities in Noonan syndrome. Results: A frameshift deletion allele was created in the zebrafish lztr1. Crosses of heterozygotes obtained homozygous lztr1 null mutants that modeled LZTR1 loss‐of‐function. Histological analyses of the model revealed ventricular hypertrophy, the deleterious signature of Noonan syndrome‐associated cardiomyopathy. Further, assessment for extracardiac abnormalities documented multiple vascular malformations, resembling human vascular pathology caused by RAS/MAPK activation. Due to spatiotemporal regulation of LZTR1, its downstream function was not fully elucidated from western blots of adult tissue. Conclusion: Our novel zebrafish model phenocopied human recessive Noonan syndrome and supported the loss‐of‐function mechanism of disease‐causing LZTR1 variants. The discovery of vascular malformations in mutants calls for the clinical follow‐up of patients to monitor for its emergence. The model will serve as a novel platform for investigating the pathophysiology linking RAS/MAPK signaling to cardiac and vascular pathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The fubing system that was a driving force in the creation of Sui and Tang dynasties is generally thought to have begun with the twenty-four army system of the Western Wei, and its military power too have been composed of local militias of Han people in Western Wei and Northern Zhou during which the influx of warriors of the northern Xianbei peoples were not numerous. Nonetheless, the term fubing zhi, the fubing system, is not found in contemporary sources, and was invented in a later period. Tracing the fubing system back to the Western Wei is also nothing more than a distortion created by later hands. The local military organizations that comprised the military force of the twenty-four army system were both chronologically, geographically, and ethnically extremely diverse, and the local Han militias of Guanlong 關隴 were no more than one part of it. In the Western Wei and Northern Zhou levies of military service were generally imposed on households, but they resorted to having the local gentry organize military bands and thereby continued the selection and implementation of a method of operating as a pseudo-tribal militia. In addition the existence of a unique system of groups of close advisers, called qinxhin 親信 and kuzhen 庫眞, whose lineages could be traced to the inner officers of Northern Wei court, made it possible to control the vast military organization that was the twenty-four army system. Judging from these special characteristics, the twenty-four-army system can be understood as a pseudo-tribal militia system that was supported by the traditions of the Xianbei. In this regard, it should be positioned in the historical context as a military system located precisely within the lineage of the nomadic military systems such as the twenty-four chiefs of the Xiongnu and of the Mongol thousand-household system. The imperial edict of the tenth year of Kaihuang, which was promulgated the year after Sui destroyed the Chen, has been taken as revolutionary in creating the ground-breaking fubing system, but in actuality, the purpose of the edict was the transfer and settling of military groups who had served for years in Guanzhong, and their essential character as pseudo-Xiangbei tribal militia was maintained thereafter. A common element underlay both the purpose of the imperial edict of the tenth year of the Kaihuang reign and the Northern-Wei policy of dismantling the tribe-centered state, and in order to decipher this reality, one must seek a point of view from which both can be mutually examined and compared.

Abstract

Aim: Liver fibrosis caused by congestive hepatopathy has emerged as an important complication after Fontan procedure. We evaluated the utility of the hepatic vein (HV) waveform using Doppler ultrasound for identification of liver fibrosis in Fontan patients. Methods: We investigated the HV waveforms in 41 Fontan patients and assessed correlations with clinical parameters, liver fibrosis markers, and hemodynamic data. Results: Based on our preliminary analysis of 64 adult patients with chronic liver disease who underwent liver biopsy, we classified HV waveforms into five types with reference to the degree of flattening (from type 1, normal triphasic waveform; to type 5, a monophasic waveform indicating cirrhosis), and confirmed a significant correlation between waveform pattern and fibrosis stage. Notably, we detected HV waveforms in all of the Fontan patients and classified them into five types. The HV waveform pattern positively correlated with γ‐glutamyl transferase and hyaluronic acid levels, and negatively correlated with albumin level and platelet count, but did not correlate with central venous pressure or brain natriuretic peptide level, suggesting that HV waveform could reflect pathophysiological changes in the liver without being affected by hepatic congestion. The highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the HV waveform for detecting advanced liver fibrosis, as defined by ultrasonic findings and clinical features, was 0.829 (81.8% sensitivity, 73.3% specificity), which was higher than that of other non‐invasive fibrosis markers. Conclusions: Hepatic vein waveforms change in accordance with liver fibrosis progression in Fontan patients, and can be a useful indicator of liver fibrosis after the Fontan procedure.

Abstract

Obesity stimulates chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, which is associated with insulin resistance, although the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here we showed that obesity-related adipocyte degeneration causes release of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), which promotes macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), originally known as a sensor of exogenous DNA fragments. Fat-fed obese wild-type mice showed increased release of cfDNA, as determined by the concentrations of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in plasma. cfDNA released from degenerated adipocytes promoted monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in wild-type macrophages, but not in TLR9-deficient (Tlr9−/−) macrophages. Fat-fed Tlr9−/− mice demonstrated reduced macrophage accumulation and inflammation in adipose tissue and better insulin sensitivity compared with wild-type mice, whereas bone marrow reconstitution with wild-type bone marrow restored the attenuation of insulin resistance observed in fat-fed Tlr9−/− mice. Administration of a TLR9 inhibitory oligonucleotide to fat-fed wild-type mice reduced the accumulation of macrophages in adipose tissue and improved insulin resistance. Furthermore, in humans, plasma ssDNA level was significantly higher in patients with computed tomography–determined visceral obesity and was associated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), which is the index of insulin resistance. Our study may provide a novel mechanism for the development of sterile inflammation in adipose tissue and a potential therapeutic target for insulin resistance.

Abstract

Background Cardiac involvement is a recognised complication in female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Since segmental or global left ventricle (LV) wall motion abnormalities in DMD carriers can arise even without apparent muscle weakness, it is difficult to differentiate cardiac involvement of a DMD carrier from other heart diseases in a non-invasive manner. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) enables assessment of regional wall motion abnormality and myocardial damage with high spatial resolution. Objective To assess the utility of CMR for detection of myocardial damage in female carriers of DMD. Methods and results Gadolinium-enhanced CMR was performed in seven female DMD carriers. Physical examination, electrocardiography, chest radiograph, measurements of total creatinine kinase and brain natriuretic peptide levels, and two-dimensional echocardiography were also performed. Four (57%) of the seven carriers had LGE, and LGE was frequently observed at the subepicardial layer in the inferolateral segment. Two carriers had a focal LGE at the LV inferolateral wall without LV dilation or wall motion abnormalities. Conclusion CMR findings of DMD carriers were characterised by subepicardial LGE, which was localised at inferolateral segments. CMR may be a useful modality for detecting cardiac involvement in DMD carriers. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Marfan syndrome can cause life-threatening aortic complications. We investigated the relationship between FBN1 genotype and severe aortopathy (aortic root replacement, type A dissections, and related death). Methods: We evaluated 248 patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic FBN1 variants. The variants were classified as haploinsufficient type (HI, n=93) or dominant-negative type (DN, n=155) based on their location and predicted amino acid alterations, and we examined the effects of the FBN1 genotype on severe aortic events (aortic root replacement, type A dissections, and related death). Results: The cumulative event-free probability was significantly lower in the HI group than in the DN group (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.4 -3.2; P<0.001). Male patients were at a greater than two-fold increased risk in both genotypes. In addition, after identifying deleterious variants among DN patients, we found that those with variants affecting or creating Cysteine residues and in-frame Deletion variants in exons 25–36 and 43–49 (DN-CD group) had a 6.3-fold higher risk compared with DN-nonCD patients (P<0.0001), which was comparable to or more deleterious than HI patients (P=0.062). Furthermore, DN-CD + HI patients had larger aortic root Z-scores than DN-nonCD patients (P<0.05 for <20 years; P<0.01 for 20–40 years), and males under 20 years old were more likely to develop aneurysms with higher rate of change in Z-score than females (P<0.001 in males; P=0.24 in females). Conclusions: DN-CD+HI patients should be monitored more carefully than DN-nonCD patients for rapid development of aortic root aneurysms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
