Type 2 Diabetic

12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) was implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN), in which the proteinuria was thought to be associated with a decreased expression of glomerular P-cadherin. Therefore, we investigated the role of 12-LO in the glomerular P-cadherin expression in type 2 diabetic rats according to the glomerular sizes. Rats fed with high-fat diet for 6 wk were treated with low-dose streptozotocin. Once diabetes onset, diabetic rats were treated with 12-LO inhibitor cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-cyanocinnamate (CDC) for 8 wk. Then glomeruli were isolated from diabetic and control rats with a sieving method. RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescent staining were used for mRNA and protein expressions of P-cadherin and angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1). We found that CDC did not affect the glucose levels but completely attenuated diabetic increases in glomerular volume and proteinuria. Diabetes significantly decreased the P-cadherin mRNA and protein expressions and increased the AT1 mRNA and protein expressions in the glomeruli. These changes were significantly prevented by CDC and recaptured by direct infusion of 12-LO product [12(S)-HETE] to normal rats for 7 days. The decreased P-cadherin expression was similar between large and small glomeruli, but the increased AT1 expression was significantly higher in the large than in the small glomeruli from diabetic and 12(S)-HETE-treated rats. Direct infusion of normal rats with Ang II for 14 days also significantly decreased the glomerular P-cadherin expression. These results suggest that diabetic proteinuria is mediated by the activation of 12-LO pathway that is partially attributed to the decreased glomerular P-cadherin expression.

At2 Receptors

Angiotensin II (AH) is a potent vasoconstrictor and mitogenic factor. AH receptors include type 1 (ATI) and type 2 (AT2) receptors. Recent studies demonstrated that both ATI and AT2 receptors expressed in human myocardium. Circulating and local tissue level of AH was increased in severe congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the expression of ATI and AT2 in cardiac tissue with CHF remains controversial. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the protein expression of ATI and AT2 receptors in normal human myocardium and in human cardiac tissue with mild and severe CHF.Human atrial tissues from normal subjects and CHF patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy were obtained from open-heart surgery and cardiac transplantation. ATI and AT2 receptor expression was investigated by immunohistochemical staining (IHCS). The results of IHCS was evaluated by IHCS staining density scores (0, no staining; 1, minimal staining; 2, mild staining; 3, moderate staining; and 4, strong staining).

Context: Inflammation in the pancreas can cause β-cell stress, leading to diabetes development. Access to human pancreas tissues via the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) has allowed characterization of pathways leading to this inflammation. Objective: 12-Lipoxygenase (12-LO) induces inflammation and has been implicated in diabetes development. Our goal was to determine expression of 12-LO in human islets from control, autoantibody-positive, type 1 diabetic, and type 2 diabetic nPOD pancreas donors. Design: Pancreas tissues from nPOD donors were examined by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence for islet expression of 12-LO in different subsets of islet cells. Participants: Donor pancreas samples were obtained from nPOD based on disease status (control, n = 7; autoantibody-positive, n = 8; type 1 diabetic, n = 17; or type 2 diabetic donors, n = 15). Main Outcome Measure: Determination of 12-LO expression within human islets served as the main outcome measure, including distinguishing which types of islet cells expressed 12-LO. Results: Islets from control participants (nondiabetic) lacked islet expression of 12-LO. Of donors in the other groups, 25% to 37% expressed islet 12-LO with a clear inverse relation between the numbers of β-cells and 12-LO+ cells within islets of 12-LO+ cases. 12-LO expression was not seen within macrophages, endothelial cells, α-cells, or β-cells, but only within cells expressing low levels of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and increased levels of vimentin. Conclusions: 12-LO expression colocalizes within a specific type of islet PP+ cell under prediabetic and diabetic conditions. The costaining of PP and vimentin suggests that 12-LO participates in the process leading to β-cell dedifferentiation in the islet.
