Background and Aims: In the current work, we studied the effects of exercise and stevia rebaudiana (R) extracts on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) in type 2 diabetic rats and their possible underlying mechanisms. Methods: : Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into 4 equal groups; a) normal control group, b) DM group, type 2 diabetic rats received 2 ml oral saline daily for 4 weeks, c) DM+ Exercise, type 2 diabetic rats were treated with exercise for 4 weeks and d) DM+ stevia R extracts: type 2 diabetic rats received methanolic stevia R extracts. By the end of the experiment, serum blood glucose, HOMA-IR, insulin and cardiac enzymes (LDH, CK-MB), cardiac histopathology, oxidative stress markers (MDA, GSH and CAT), myocardial fibrosis by Masson trichrome, the expression of p53, caspase-3, α-SMA and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) by immunostaining in myocardial tissues were measured. Results: T2DM caused a significant increase in blood glucose, HOMA-IR index, serum CK-MB and LDH, myocardial damage and fibrosis, myocardial MDA, myocardial α-SMA, p53, caspase-3, Nrf2 and TH density with a significant decrease in serum insulin and myocardial GSH and CAT (p< 0.05). On the other hand, treatment with either exercise or stevia R extracts significantly improved all studied parameters (p< 0.05). Moreover, the effects of stevia R was more significant than exercise (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Both exercise and methanolic stevia R extracts showed cardioprotective effects against DCM and Stevia R offered more cardioprotective than exercise. This cardioprotective effect of these lines of treatment might be due to attenuation of oxidative stress, apoptosis, sympathetic nerve density and fibrosis and upregulation of the antioxidant transcription factor, Nrf2.

Cardiovascular disease, specifically heart failure, is a common complication for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Heart failure can arise with stiffening of the left ventricle, which can be caused by “active” cardiac fibroblasts (i.e., myofibroblasts) remodeling the extracellular matrix (ECM). Differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts has been demonstrated to be an outcome of AGE/RAGE signaling. Hyperglycemia causes advanced glycated end products (AGEs) to accumulate within the body, and this process is greatly accelerated under chronic diabetic conditions. AGEs can bind and activate their receptor (RAGE) to trigger multiple downstream outcomes, such as altering ECM remodeling, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Previously, our lab has identified a small GTPase, Rap1a, that possibly overlaps the AGE/RAGE signaling cascade to affect the downstream outcomes. Rap1a acts as a molecular switch connecting extracellular signals to intracellular responses. Therefore, we hypothesized that Rap1a crosses the AGE/RAGE cascade to alter the expression of AGE/RAGE associated signaling proteins in cardiac fibroblasts in type 2 diabetic mice. To delineate this cascade, we used genetically different cardiac fibroblasts from non-diabetic, diabetic, non-diabetic RAGE knockout, diabetic RAGE knockout, and Rap1a knockout mice and treated them with pharmacological modifiers (exogenous AGEs, EPAC, Rap1a siRNA, and pseudosubstrate PKC-ζ). We examined changes in expression of proteins implicated as markers for myofibroblasts (α-SMA) and inflammation/oxidative stress (NF-κB and SOD-1). In addition, oxidative stress was also assessed by measuring hydrogen peroxide concentration. Our results indicated that Rap1a connects to the AGE/RAGE cascade to promote and maintain α-SMA expression in cardiac fibroblasts. Moreover, Rap1a, in conjunction with activation of the AGE/RAGE cascade, increased NF-κB expression as well as hydrogen peroxide concentration, indicating a possible oxidative stress response. Additionally, knocking down Rap1a expression resulted in an increase in SOD-1 expression suggesting that Rap1a can affect oxidative stress markers independently of the AGE/RAGE signaling cascade. These results demonstrated that Rap1a contributes to the myofibroblast population within the heart via AGE/RAGE signaling as well as promotes possible oxidative stress. This study offers a new potential therapeutic target that could possibly reduce the risk for developing diabetic cardiovascular complications attributed to AGE/RAGE signaling.

Anesthetic Preconditioning (APC) protects the myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury. The cardioprotective effects of APC is diminished or even eliminated in individuals with diabetes mellitus and/or hyperglycemia. The development of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and their differentiation capability has provided us with an in vitro model to study the inefficiency of APC in these individuals.To investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in the attenuation of APC in both diabetic individuals and in hyperglycemia we utilized cardiomyocytes derived from Type 2 diabetic patient and healthy individual iPSCs, (T2DM-iPSCs and N-iPSCs, respectively). Contracting cardiomyocytes were dissociated and selected by the expression of green fluorescent protein under the transcriptional control of myosin light chain-2v. Cardiomyocytes were exposed to varying glucose concentrations (5, 11, and 25 mM). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was measured using a colorimetric cytotoxicity assay kit and read spectrophotometrically. Mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were measured with confocal microscopy. APC reduced oxidative stress-induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in cardiomyocytes derived from both N-iPSCs- and T2DM-iPSCs in 5 and 11 mM glucose concentrations, but not in 25 mM glucose. Baseline membrane potential was similar between non-diabetic- and Type 2 diabetic-derived cardiomyocytes; however 25 mM glucose hyperpolarized the mitochondrial membrane potential. T2DM-iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes had an increase in ROS baseline levels compared to N-iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Additionally, high glucose concentrations increased oxidative stress-induced ROS production compared to lower glucose conditions in both cell lines. Our preliminary data shows that high glucose generates excessive ROS and hyperpolarizes the mitochondrial membrane and may contribute to the inefficiency of diabetic and/or hyperglycemic individuals to be anesthetically preconditioned. By utilizing human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes we can begin to understand the inability of hyperglycemic and diabetic individuals to be anesthetically preconditioned.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic function of CD36 in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) sepsis complications (T2DSC) and its effect on β-cell differentiation. Methods First, Age - and sex-matched T2DM patients, T2DSC patients and healthy people (50 cases each) were included. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure CD36, FOXO1, PDX1, MAFA, insulin, SOX9, Neurog3 and NANOG expression in blood samples. Second, cultured human β-cell line EndoC-βH1 and the interference and overexpression of CD36. Cell clone, apoptosis, inflammatory cytokine, oxidative stress and β-cell differentiation related proteins were also analysed. Third, examined the role of CD36 in high glucose, LPS-induced β-cell. Results CD36 mRNA, and endocrine progenitor β-cell biomarkers SOX9, Neurog3 and NANOG were significantly increased in T2DM than control group, whereas the β-cell maturation biomarkers FOXO1, PDX1, MAFA and insulin were significantly decreased. Compared with the T2DM group, CD36 and FOXO1 were significantly increased in T2DSC, but PDX1, insulin, MAFA, SOX9, Neurog3 and NANOG were significantly decreased. The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed that CD36 was useful for distinguishing T2MD and T2DSC from the control group. Furthermore, CD36 overexpression increased β-cell apoptosis and the secretion of IL-1β, IL-8 TNF-α, malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species. CD36 induced cell defferentiation. Lastly, CD36 knockdown could inhibit the high glucose and LPS-induced cell apoptosis, inflammatory, oxidative stress and cell defferentiation. Conclusion Significant increase in CD36 can be used as a biomarker for T2MD and T2DSC. CD36 promotes T2MD or T2DSC development by inducing β-cell inflammatory and oxidative stress and defferentiation.

Introduction: Evidence has long existed regarding the relationship between oxidative stress and diabetes. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of atorvastatin on selected oxidative stress parameters in the form of reduced glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxidation byproduct malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, glutathione –S- transferase (GST) activity and catalase (CAT) activity) and its effect on lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in dyslipidaemic type 2 diabetic patients . Materials and Methods: Fifty nine dyslipidaemic type 2 diabetic patients were included in this study. Full history was taken and general examination of patients was performed. Patients studied were taking glibenclamide (an oral hypoglycaemic drug) during the study as a treatment for their disease. These patients were followed up for 60 days and divided randomly into 2 groups. Group I (n = 31): no drug was given and served as dyslipidaemic diabetic control. Group II (n = 28): received atorvastatin tablets 20 mg once daily at night. Of the 59 Fifty patients, 46 completed the study while 13 patients withdrew. This is due to non compliance of the patients. Blood samples were drawn from the patients at the beginning and after 60 days of follow up between 8:30 & 10:30 am after at least 12-14 hours fast. Fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, selected oxidative stress parameters (GSH, MDA levels, GST and CAT activities) were measured. Renal and hepatic functions were also assessed. Results: This study revealed that: atorvastatin treatment increased serum GSH; reduced MDA levels significantly while did not significantly affect CAT and GST activity. In atorvastatin treatment, TC, TG, LDL and VLDL decreased significantly while HDL increased significantly. Conclusion: There was insignificant correlations between atorvastatin induced changes in the oxidation markers and the observed changes of the lipid profile.
