基因技术在治疗2型糖尿病中的应用*

2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM)是一类由于胰岛β细胞损伤和机体对胰岛素耐受引发的慢性代谢性疾病,其快速增长的患病率和并发症所带来的高病死率已成为人类面临的医学难题。目前,T2DM主要是以降糖药物及胰岛素增敏剂等药物进行治疗,但是这类药物会产生严重的副作用,而且不能长期良好控制血糖和防止各种慢性并发症。因此,基因治疗是未来医疗发展的主要方向。基因治疗不仅可以靶向调控血糖水平进而提高降糖的效果,而且能够减少糖代谢异常引起的并发症,保护组织器官免受损伤。在认识传统药物治疗糖尿病的基础上,综述了基因技术在治疗T2DM中的应用,讨论了基因技术治疗T2DM的意义及存在的问题。基因技术的应用不仅有利于T2DM的预防和个体化治疗,同时也为糖尿病并发症提供了新的治疗途径。

天然产物对2型糖尿病的降血糖作用机制分析

2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM)是一种以持续性高血糖、胰岛素绝对缺乏或相对缺乏为特征的常见慢性代谢性疾病,其发病机制尚不完全明确。传统的降糖药物虽有一定的治疗效果,但T2DM患者长期服用会对机体产生一定的不良反应。近年来发现,天然产物不仅来源广泛,且具有降血糖、改善胰岛素抵抗等特点,作用温和并无毒无害,具有一定的抗T2DM特性。现对T2DM的主要发病机制及具有不同降血糖作用的天然产物进行分类综述,阐述天然产物在T2DM的防治及其潜在作用机制方面的研究进展,以期为T2DM的治疗提供新思路,为新型相关降糖药物的研发提供参考。     

FGF1:一种治疗糖尿病的新型潜在药物

糖尿病是一种常见的内分泌代谢性疾病,它及其并发症的治疗是现代医学仍未解决的难题。常见的药物治疗有诸多不良反应,譬如胰岛素的长期使用会产生胰岛素耐受性。近年研究发现,酸性成纤维细胞因子（Fibroblast growth factor 1,FGF1或aFGF）及其衍生物能够使2型糖尿病小鼠的血糖快速恢复至正常水平,并且具有胰岛素增敏效果,规避了胰岛素治疗产生耐受性的问题。因此,人们对FGF1及其衍生物在开发新型T2DM疗法方面给予诸多期待。该综述系统介绍了FGF1的结构与功能、降糖功效的机制及新发现,对FGF1的2种注射方式和FGF家族在降糖作用方面进行了比较,并对FGF1在治疗糖尿病方面的研究进程进行展望,旨在为调节血糖、解决胰岛素耐受性问题提供一种新的思路和方法。     

肠道菌群及其代谢产物与T2DM发病机制及干预措施*

2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)是一种因胰岛素分泌不足或胰岛素抵抗而引起的慢性代谢疾病,T2DM患病人数的快速增长使治疗和预防T2DM成为世界上亟待解决的医学问题。随着微生物组学技术的进步,肠道菌群及其代谢产物与T2DM的研究亦逐渐深入,肠道菌群可能成为治疗和预防T2DM的靶点。肠道菌群及其代谢产物作用于T2DM的潜在机制,主要是参与体内炎症反应、增加肠道短链脂肪酸产量、调节肠道胆汁酸的代谢、调节支链氨基酸的代谢等。目前,治疗T2DM的药物可能会产生一些副作用,而基于肠道菌群干预T2DM的措施相对安全无害。例如,可通过严格控制的特定结构饮食长期摄入或增加益生菌的长期摄取控制血糖,或通过口服可影响肠道菌群生态结构的降糖药物(二甲双胍、阿卡波糖)有效地调控血糖水平。综述基于肠道菌群及其代谢产物诱发T2DM的潜在机制,研讨基于肠道菌群干预T2DM的措施,从肠道菌群的新视角探索治疗T2DM的新方法,为彻底治疗T2DM提供一种新可能。

低血糖与2型糖尿病

糖尿病（DM）是一种慢性终身性疾病,目前已成为严重威胁人类健康的世界性公共卫生问题,2型糖尿病患者也逐渐增加。流行病学调查显示,目前全球大约有近2亿糖尿病患者,其中2型糖尿病占90%～95%。2型糖尿病发病机理是胰岛素分泌的相对或绝对不足伴有或不伴有胰岛素抵抗,持续的高血糖可严重抑制胰岛功能。严格的血糖控制能够延缓糖尿病慢性并发症的发生和发展,延长了患者的预期寿命。但是随着血糖控制达标,发生低血糖的危险性增加了,低血糖不仅严重阻碍了良好血糖控制,而且严重低血糖还是2型糖尿病致死、致残的重要原因。本文探讨2型糖尿病患者治疗中低血糖发生的原因、诱发因素以及可能的解决方案。

Efficacy of different antidiabetic drugs based on metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus: A network meta-analysis involving eight eligible randomized-controlled trials

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases globally and it is increasing in prevalence. It is one of the most expensive diseases with respect to total health care costs per patient as a result of its chronic nature and its severe complications. To provide a more effective treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), this study aims to compare different efficacies of six kinds of hypoglycemic drugs based on metformin, including glimepiride, pioglitazone, exenatide, glibenclamide, rosiglitazone, and vildagliptin, in T2DM by a network meta-analysis that were verified by randomized-controlled trials (RCTs). Eight eligible RCT in consistency with the aforementioned six hypoglycemic drugs for T2DM were included. The results of network meta-analysis demonstrated that the exenatide + metformin and vildagliptin + metformin regimens presented with better efficacy. Patients with T2DM with unsatisfactory blood glucose control based on diet control, proper exercise, and metformin treatment were included. The original regimen and dose of medication were unchanged, followed by the addition of glimepiride, pioglitazone, exenatide, glibenclamide, rosiglitazone, and vildagliptin. The results of RCTs showed that all these six kinds of drugs reduced the HbA1c level. Compared with other regimens, exenatide + metformin reduced fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), total cholesterol (TC), and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) levels, but increased the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level; vildagliptin + metformin decreased FPI and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels; glibenclamide + metformin decreased the FPG level, but promoted HDL; and glimepiride + metformin decreased the TC level and rosiglitazone + metformin reduced the LDL level. Our findings indicated that exenatide + metformin and vildagliptin + metformin have better efficacy in T2DM since they can improve insulin sensitivity.     

Borapetoside C from Tinospora crispa improves insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice

Diabetes mellitus (DM) often leads to disability from vascular complications and neurological complications. Tinospora crispa has been widely used in Asia and Africa as a remedy for diabetes and other diseases. In this study, we investigated the hypoglycemic actions of borapetoside C isolated from T. crispa, and the mechanisms underlying its actions. Acute treatment with borapetoside C (5mg/kg, i.p.) attenuated the elevated plasma glucose induced by oral glucose in normal and type 2 DM (T2DM) mice. Compared to the effect of injected insulin (0.5 IU/kg), borapetoside C caused a more prominent increase of glycogen content in skeletal muscle of T2DM mice, but a less increase in type 1 DM (T1DM) mice. Combined treatment of a low dose borapetoside C (0.1mg/kg, i.p.) plus insulin enhanced insulin-induced lowering of the plasma glucose level and insulin-induced increase of muscle glycogen content. Continuous treatment with 5mg/kg borapetoside C (twice daily) for 7 days increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) and protein kinase B (Akt) as well as the expression of glucose transporter-2 (GLUT2) in T1DM mice. Combined treatment of a low dose borapetoside C (0.1mg/kg, twice daily) plus insulin for 7 days enhanced insulin-induced IR and Akt phosphorylation and GLUT2 expression in the liver of T1DM mice. This study proved that borapetoside C can increase glucose utilization, delayed the development of insulin resistance and enhanced insulin sensitivity. The activation of IR-Akt-GLUT2 expression and the enhancement of insulin sensitivity may contribute to the hypoglycemic action of borapetoside C in diabetic mice.     

非酒精性脂肪性肝病的药物治疗进展

非酒精性脂肪性肝病已日渐成为目前慢性肝病的主要病因,其与肥胖、2型糖尿病和代谢综合征等疾病密切相关,疾病谱主要包括非酒精性单纯性脂肪肝、非酒精性脂肪性肝炎和肝硬化。早期诊断和及时治疗可望减轻NAFLD患者肝炎的严重程度并延缓肝纤维化的进展,减少并发症的出现。目前认为其发病与胰岛素抵抗、氧化应激及脂质过氧化和肠道菌群失调等因素有关。通过饮食调整和适当运动而减轻体重被认为是最基础的治疗措施,但单纯依靠减肥治疗脂肪性肝病(FLD)的效果并不理想,药物在脂肪性肝炎防治中的作用同样不可忽视。目前没有根治这一疾病的特效药物,单纯针对某一发病机制的药物亦难以治愈NAFLD这种复杂的疾病,本文主要从改善胰岛素抵抗、降脂、保肝抗炎及改善肠道菌群等四方面介绍一下本病的药物治疗进展。提倡改变生活方式的非药物治疗与药物干预治疗紧密结合,以取得最理想的治疗效果。

Adenoviral vector-mediated glucagon-like peptide 1 gene therapy improves glucose homeostasis in Zucker diabetic fatty rats

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut-derived incretin hormone that plays an important role in glucose homeostasis. Its functions include glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, suppression of glucagon secretion, deceleration of gastric emptying, and reduction in appetite and food intake. Despite the numerous antidiabetic properties of GLP-1, its therapeutic potential is limited by its short biological half-life due to rapid enzymatic degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV. The present study aimed to demonstrate the therapeutic effects of constitutively expressed GLP-1 in an overt type 2 diabetic animal model using an adenoviral vector system. METHODS: A novel plasmid (pAAV-ILGLP-1) and recombinant adenoviral vector (Ad-ILGLP-1) were constructed with the cytomegalovirus promoter and insulin leader sequence followed by GLP-1(7-37) cDNA. RESULTS: The results of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed significantly elevated levels of GLP-1(7-37) secreted by human embryonic kidney cells transfected with the construct containing the leader sequence. A single intravenous administration of Ad-ILGLP-1 into 12-week-old Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, which have overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), achieved near normoglycemia for 3 weeks and improved utilization of blood glucose in glucose tolerance tests. Circulating plasma levels of GLP-1 increased in GLP-1-treated ZDF rats, but diminished 21 days after treatment. When compared with controls, Ad-ILGLP-1-treated ZDF rats had a lower homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance score indicating amelioration in insulin resistance. Immunohistochemical staining showed that cells expressing GLP-1 were found in the livers of GLP-1-treated ZDF rats. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that GLP-1 gene therapy can improve glucose homeostasis in fully developed diabetic animal models and may be a promising treatment modality for T2DM in humans.     

Development and characterization of a novel rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus: the UC Davis type 2 diabetes mellitus UCD-T2DM rat

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is increasing, creating a need for T2DM animal models for the study of disease pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment. The purpose of this project was to develop a rat model of T2DM that more closely models the pathophysiology of T2DM in humans. The model was created by crossing obese Sprague-Dawley rats with insulin resistance resulting from polygenic adult-onset obesity with Zucker diabetic fatty-lean rats that have a defect in pancreatic beta-cell function but normal leptin signaling. We have characterized the model with respect to diabetes incidence; age of onset; longitudinal measurements of glucose, insulin, and lipids; and glucose tolerance. Longitudinal fasting glucose and insulin data demonstrated progressive hyperglycemia (with fasting and fed glucose concentrations >250 and >450 mg/dl, respectively) after onset along with hyperinsulinemia resulting from insulin resistance at onset followed by a progressive decline in circulating insulin concentrations, indicative of beta-cell decompensation. The incidence of diabetes in male and female rats was 92 and 43%, respectively, with an average age of onset of 6 mo in males and 9.5 mo in females. Results from intravenous glucose tolerance tests, pancreas immunohistochemistry, and islet insulin content further support a role for beta-cell dysfunction in the pathophysiology of T2DM in this model. Diabetic animals also exhibit glycosuria, polyuria, and hyperphagia. Thus diabetes in the UC Davis-T2DM rat is more similar to clinical T2DM in humans than in other existing rat models and provides a useful model for future studies of the pathophysiology, treatment, and prevention of T2DM.
