Hyperinsulinemia contributes to impaired-glucose-tolerance-induced renal injury via mir-7977/SIRT3 signaling.

ABSTRACT: Background:Increasing evidence indicates that impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is independently associated with chronic kidney disease, but the characteristics and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Methods:Here, the cross-sectional study was performed to study the characteristics of IGT-induced renal injury (IGT-RI). Furthermore, urine microRNA profile was evaluated and microRNAs involved in tubular injury were determined by in-vitro experiments. Results:It was found that 12.1% of IGT patients had microalbuminuria, which we termed "IGT-RI." Overall, 100% of patients with IGT-RI exhibited reabsorption dysfunction and 58.3% had structural damage in the renal tubules. Two-hour postprandial insulin, retinol-binding protein, and N-acetyl-?-glucosaminidase were significantly associated with microalbuminuria and they were independent risk factors for IGT-RI. The expression of mir-7977 was altered in IGT-RI patients and may be involved in cellular response to oxidative stress. In proximal tubule epithelial cells in vitro, a high level of insulin increased the expression of mir-7977 and decreased that of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), leading to oxidative stress. Overexpression of mir-7977 further decreased SIRT3 expression, whereas inhibition of mir-7977 had the opposite effect. Furthermore, mir-7977 can bind to the 3'-untranslated region of SIRT3 mRNA and inhibit its expression. Moreover, inhibition of SIRT3 reduced the expression of cubilin and the endocytosis of albumin. Conclusions:In conclusion, IGT-RI mainly manifests as tubular injury, especially reabsorption dysfunction. Compensatory hyperinsulinemia may be involved. A high level of insulin can activate mir-7977/SIRT3 signaling, resulting in tubular injury by inducing oxidative stress as well as reabsorption dysfunction by inhibiting the expression of cubilin, ultimately contributing to IGT-RI.

Project description:Insulin resistance promotes vascular endothelial dysfunction and subsequent development of cardiovascular disease. Previously we found that skeletal muscle arteriolar flow-induced dilation (FID) was reduced following a hyperinsulinemic clamp in healthy adults. Therefore, we hypothesized that hyperinsulinemia, a hallmark of insulin resistance, contributes to microvascular endothelial cell dysfunction via inducing oxidative stress that is mediated by NADPH oxidase (Nox) system. We examined the effect of insulin, at levels that are comparable with human hyperinsulinemia on 1) FID of isolated arterioles from human skeletal muscle tissue in the presence and absence of Nox inhibitors and 2) human adipose microvascular endothelial cell (HAMECs) expression of nitric oxide (NO), endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), and Nox-mediated oxidative stress. In six lean healthy participants (mean age 25.5±1.6 y, BMI 21.8±0.9), reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased while NO and arteriolar FID were reduced following 60min of ex vivo insulin incubation. These changes were reversed after co-incubation with the Nox isoform 2 (Nox2) inhibitor, VAS2870. In HAMECs, insulin-induced time-dependent increases in Nox2 expression and P47phox phosphorylation were echoed by elevations of superoxide production. In contrast, phosphorylation of eNOS and expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD2 and SOD3) isoforms showed a biphasic response with an increased expression at earlier time points followed by a steep reduction phase. Insulin induced eNOS uncoupling that was synchronized with a drop of NO and a surge of ROS production. These effects were reversed by Tempol (SOD mimetic), Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4; eNOS cofactor), and VAS2870. Finally, insulin induced nitrotyrosine formation which was reversed by inhibiting NO or superoxide generation. In conclusions, hyperinsulinemia may reduce FID via inducing Nox2-mediated superoxide production in microvascular endothelial cells which reduce the availability of NO and enhances peroxynitrite formation. Therefore, the Nox2 pathway should be considered as a target for the prevention of oxidative stress-associated endothelial dysfunction during hyperinsulinemia.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Around 308 million people worldwide are estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); 25% to 75% of these will develop diabetes within a decade of initial diagnosis. At diagnosis, half will have tissue-related damage and all have an increased risk for coronary heart disease. OBJECTIVES:The objective of this review was to assess the effects and safety of Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of people with impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose (IFG). SEARCH STRATEGY:We searched the following databases: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, AMED, a range of Chinese language databases, SIGLE and databases of ongoing trials. SELECTION CRITERIA:Randomised clinical trials comparing Chinese herbal medicines with placebo, no treatment, pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions in people with IGT or IFG were considered. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS:Two authors independently extracted data. Trials were assessed for risk of bias against key criteria: random sequence generation, allocation concealment, blinding of participants, outcome assessors and intervention providers, incomplete outcome data, selective outcome reporting and other sources of bias. MAIN RESULTS:This review examined 16 trials lasting four weeks to two years involving 1391 participants receiving 15 different Chinese herbal medicines in eight different comparisons. No trial reported on mortality, morbidity or costs. No serious adverse events like severe hypoglycaemia were observed. Meta-analysis of eight trials showed that those receiving Chinese herbal medicines combined with lifestyle modification were more than twice as likely to have their fasting plasma glucose levels return to normal levels (i.e. fasting plasma glucose <7.8 mmol/L and 2hr blood glucose <11.1 mmol/L) compared to lifestyle modification alone (RR 2.07; 95% confidence intervall (CI) 1.52 to 2.82). Those receiving Chinese herbs were less likely to progress to diabetes over the duration of the trial (RR 0.33; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.58). However, all trials had a considerable risk of bias and none of the specific herbal medicines comparison data was available from more than one study. Moreover, results could have been confounded by rates of natural reversion to normal glucose levels. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS:The positive evidence in favour of Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of IGT or IFG is constrained by the following factors: lack of trials that tested the same herbal medicine, lack of details on co-interventions, unclear methods of randomisation, poor reporting and other risks of bias.
