AbstractReduction of intestinal glucose absorption might result from either delayed carbohydrate digestion or blockage of glucose transporters. Previously, oxyresveratrol was shown to inhibit α-glucosidase, but its effect on glucose transporters has not been explored. The present study aimed to assess oxyresveratrol-induced inhibition of the facilitative glucose transporter 2 and the active sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1. An aqueous extract of Artocarpus lacucha, Puag Haad, which is oxyresveratrol-enriched, was also investigated. Glucose transport was measured by uptake into Caco-2 cells through either glucose transporter 2 or sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 according to the culture conditions. Oxyresveratrol (40 to 800 µM) dose-dependently reduced glucose transport, which appeared to inhibit both glucose transporter 2 and sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1. Puag Haad at similar concentrations also inhibited these transporters but with greater efficacy. Oxyresveratrol and Puag Haad could help reduce postprandial hyperglycemic peaks, which are considered to be most damaging in diabetics.

Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible growth arrest induced by various stresses such as oncogenic stimuli. This response is controlled by negative regulators of the cell cycle like the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Accumulating evidence has suggested a role of p53 activation in various age-associated conditions including atherosclerosis, heart failure and diabetes. Here we show that endothelial p53 activation plays a pathological role in the regulation of endothelial function and glucose metabolism under diabetic conditions. Endothelial expression of p53 was markedly up-regulated in a streptozotocin-induced diabetes model. Endothelial function such as acetylcholine-dependent vasodilatation was markedly impaired in this model. Although hyperglycemia was not altered, impairment of endothelial function was significantly improved in mice with endothelial cell-specific p53 deficiency. In same way, p53 was markedly activated in ischemic vessels, and endothelial p53 deficiency enhanced ischemia-induced angiogenesis. Mechanistically, endothelial p53 up-regulated the expression of PTEN that negatively regulated the Akt-eNOS pathway, and therefore disruption of p53 improved endothelial dysfunction. We also found that endothelial p53 was markedly activated, and the Akt-eNOS pathway was attenuated in a diet-induced obesity model. Disruption of endothelial p53 activation improved dietary inactivation of eNOS that up-regulated the expression of PGC-1α in skeletal muscle, thereby increasing mitochondrial biogenesis and oxygen consumption. Inhibition of endothelial p53 also improved dietary impairment of glucose transport into skeletal muscle by up-regulating endothelial expression of glucose transporter 1. Consequently, mice with endothelial cell-specific p53 deficiency fed a high-calorie diet showed improvement of insulin sensitivity and less fat accumulation compared with control littermates. These results indicate that endothelial p53 negatively regulates endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, ischemia-induced angiogenesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis by inhibiting the Akt-eNOS pathway and suggest that inhibition of endothelial p53 could be a novel therapeutic target in diabetic patients.

Objectives.Arecoline, the most potent and abundant alkaloid of betel nut, causes elevation of serum testosterone and androgen receptor expression in rat prostate, in addition to increase in serum insulin levels in rats, leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes-like conditions. This study investigated the role of arecoline on the reproductive status of experimentally induced type 1 diabetic rats.Methods.Changes in the cellular architecture were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Blood glucose, serum insulin, testosterone, FSH, and LH were assayed. Fructose content of the coagulating gland and sialic acid content of the seminal vesicles were also analyzed.Results.Arecoline treatment for 10 days at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight markedly facilitatedβ-cell regeneration and reversed testicular and sex accessory dysfunctions by increasing the levels of serum insulin and gonadotropins in type 1 diabetic rats. Critical genes related toβ-cell regeneration, such as pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (pdx-1) and glucose transporter 2 (GLUT-2), were found to be activated by arecoline at the protein level.Conclusion.It can thus be suggested that arecoline is effective in ameliorating the detrimental effects caused by insulin deficiency on gonadal and male sex accessories in rats with type 1 diabetes.

AbstractIn rapid proliferating cancer cells, there is a need for fast ATP and lactate production, therefore cancer cells turn off oxidative phosphorylation and turn on the so called "Warburg effect". This regulating the expression of genes involved in glycolysis. According to many studies, glucose transporter 1, which supplies glucose to the cell, is the most abundantly expressed transporter in cancer cells. Hexokinase 2, is one of four hexokinase isoenzymes, is also another highly expressed enzyme in cancer cells and it functions to enhance the glycolytic rate. The up-regulation of these two proteins has been established as an important factor in promoting development and metastasis in many types of cancer. Furthermore, other enzymes involved in glycolysis pathway such as phosphoglucose isomerase and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, exhibit additional functions in promoting tumor growth in a non-glycolytic way. This review demonstrates the pivotal role of GLUT1, HK2, PGI and GAPDH in cancer development. In particular, we look at how the multifunctional proteins, PGI and GAPDH, affect cancer cell survival. We also present various clinical cancer cases in terms of the overexpression of selected proteins, which may be considered as a therapeutic target.
