Abstract

Abstract: Oxidative stress was demonstrated to promote the progression of diabetes mellitus (DM). It has been suggested that copper may play a specific role in the progression and pathogenesis of DM. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a widely apply to the medicine, was known to be capable of enhancing copper accumulation. In this study, we investigated the effect of submicromolar-concentration Cu2+/PDTC complex on pancreatic β-cell damage and evaluated the role of oxidative stress in this effect. CuCl2 (0.01–300μM) did not affect the cell viability in β-cell line RIN-m5F cells. However, combination of CuCl2 (0.5μM) and PDTC (0.3μM) markedly reduced RIN-m5F cell viability. Cu2+/PDTC complex could also increase the LPO and decrease the intracellular reduced GSH levels, and display several features of apoptosis signals including: increase in sub-G1 cell population, annexin-V binding, and caspase-3 activity, mitochondrial dysfunctions, and the activation of PARP and caspase cascades, which accompanied with the marked increase the intracellular Cu2+ levels. These apoptotic-related responses of Cu2+/PDTC complex-induced could be effectively prevented by antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Furthermore, Cu2+/PDTC complex was capable of increasing the phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and JNK, and its upstream kinase MEK1/2 and MKK4, which could be reversed by NAC. Transfection with ERK2- and JNK-specific si-RNA and specific inhibitors SP600125 and PD98059 could inhibit ERK1/2 and JNK activation and attenuate MMP loss and caspase-3 activity induced by the Cu2+/PDTC complex. Taken together, these results are the first report to demonstrate that the Cu2+/PDTC complex triggers a mitochondria-regulated apoptosis via an oxidative stress-induced ERK/JNK activation-related pathway in pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract

Aims: The exact world-wide prevalence of Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern is still unclear, especially in adults aged 55 years and older., Methods and Results: The study was conducted as part of the Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study in Taiwan (HALST). Using a stratified random sampled method, a sample of community-dwelling subjects was recruited from seven community-based regions across Taiwan. All enrolled subjects were follow-up annually and cause of death was documented by citizen death records. A total of 5214 subjects were enrolled (male/female: 2530/2684) with a mean age of 69 ± 8 years. The overall prevalence of Brugada ECG patterns was 3.32%. Four subjects carried spontaneous Type 1 Brugada ECG pattern, 68 carried Type 2, and 101 carried Type 3. Compared with the world-wide average prevalence of Brugada ECG patterns, the prevalence of spontaneous Type 1 Brugada ECG pattern in subjects from the HALST cohort was similar (0.077 vs. 0.07%) and the combined prevalence of Types 2 and 3 Brugada ECG pattern was 10 times higher (3.24 vs. 0.28%) even the mean age of study subjects was significantly higher (69 ± 8 vs. 35 ± 8, P < 0.001). However, all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality rates were not significantly different between subjects with and without Brugada ECG patterns during the 4-year follow-up (log-rank test, P = 0.21, 0.32, respectively)., Conclusion: The prevalence of Brugada ECG pattern in adults aged 55 years and older in Taiwan was higher than the average world-wide prevalence but was not associated with increased mortality., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.
