摘要 目的：探讨老年2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者血清脂肪因子血管生成素样蛋白4（ANGPTL4）、促代谢因子（Betatrophin）、腹腔脂肪型丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂（Vaspin）水平与血糖、血脂、下肢血管病变（LVD）的关系。方法：选取我院2018年8月～2019年8月收治的老年T2DM患者108例,根据患者是否合并LVD,分成LVD组（n=38）和无LVD组（n=70）,比较两组临床资料、血清ANGPTL4、Betatrophin、Vaspin水平、血糖指标[空腹血糖（FPG）、餐后2 h血糖（2hPG）、糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）]、血脂指标[总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）]。经Pearson线性相关分析患者血清ANGPTL4、Betatrophin、Vaspin水平与血糖、血脂指标相关性。经Logistic多因素回归模型分析患者LVD发生的影响因素。结果：LVD组舒张压、收缩压均高于无LVD组（P＜0.05）。LVD组血清Betatrophin水平及TC、TG、LDL-C、FPG、2hPG、HbA1c高于无LVD组,血清ANGPTL4、Vaspin水平及HDL-C低于无LVD组（P＜0.05）。Pearson线性相关分析显示,血清ANGPTL4、Vaspin与TC、TG、LDL-C、FPG、2hPG、HbA1c呈负相关,与HDL-C呈正相关（P＜0.05）。血清Betatrophin与TC、TG、LDL-C、FPG、2hPG、HbA1c呈正相关,与HDL-C呈负相关（P＜0.05）。Logistic多因素回归模型分析结果显示,血清ANGPTL4、Betatrophin、Vaspin以及舒张压、TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C、FPG、2hPG、HbA1c是患者LVD发生的影响因素（P＜0.05）。结论：老年T2DM合并LVD患者的血清ANGPTL4、Vaspin水平明显下降,而血清Betatrophin水平升高,且三者与血糖、血脂指标均存在相关性,并且是患者发生LVD的影响因素,临床可考虑通过检测血清ANGPTL4、Betatrophin、Vaspin水平,辅助评估LVD的发生风险。     

Vaspin gene expression in human adipose tissue: association with obesity and type 2 diabetes

Recently, vaspin was identified as an adipokine with insulin-sensitizing effects, which is predominantly secreted from visceral adipose tissue in a rat model of type 2 diabetes. In this study, we examined whether vaspin mRNA expression is a marker of visceral obesity and correlates with anthropometric and metabolic parameters in paired samples of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue from 196 subjects with a wide range of obesity, body fat distribution, insulin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance. Vaspin mRNA expression was only detectable in 23% of the visceral and in 15% of the subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue samples. Vaspin mRNA expression was not detectable in lean subjects (BMI<25) and was more frequently detected in patients with type 2 diabetes. No significant correlations were found between visceral vaspin gene expression and visceral fat area or SC vaspin expression. However, visceral vaspin expression significantly correlates with BMI, % body fat, and 2 h OGTT plasma glucose. Subcutaneous vaspin mRNA expression is significantly correlated with WHR, fasting plasma insulin concentration, and glucose infusion rate during steady state of an euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed % body fat as strongest predictor of visceral vaspin and insulin sensitivity as strongest determinant of SC vaspin mRNA expression. In conclusion, our data indicate that induction of human vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue is regulated in a fat depot-specific manner and could be associated with parameters of obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose metabolism.     

Elevated circulating vaspin levels were decreased by rosiglitazone therapy in T2DM patients with poor glycemic control on metformin alone

Vaspin has been regarded as a novel adipokine with potential insulin sensitizing properties. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of rosiglitazone therapy on plasma vaspin in type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM) inadequately controlled on metformin alone. A total of 105 subjects, including 37 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), 37 subjects with impaired glucose regulating (IGR), and 31 T2DM patients with poor glycemic control on metformin alone were enrolled in this study. Fasting plasma vaspin levels were higher in T2DM patients with poor glycemic control than that in IGR and NGT groups (1.19 ± 0.74 vs. 0.46 ± 0.26 and 0.54 ± 0.28 μg/L, P < 0.05). There was no difference between IGR and NGT groups. In T2DM patients, fasting plasma vaspin concentrations were significantly decreased after rosiglizatone therapy for 12 weeks (1.19 ± 0.74 vs. 0.91 ± 0.54 μg/L, P < 0.05), accompanied with significant amelioration of insulin sensitivity and glucose control. Plasma vaspin levels were positively associated with the fasting insulin and the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR). In conclusion, plasma vaspin level is higher in T2DM patients with poor glycemic control. And rosiglitazone therapy decreased plasma vaspin levels through glucose and insulin sensitivity regulation.     

Characterization of a putative cis-regulatory element that controls transcriptional activity of the pig uroplakin II gene promoter

Vaspin, an adipocytokine recently identified in a rat model of type 2 diabetes, has been suggested to have an insulin-sensitizing effect. However, the exact mechanism underlying this action has not been fully elucidated. Furthermore, the specific function of vaspin is largely unknown, especially in vascular cells. We examined whether vaspin affects the insulin-signaling pathway in cultured endothelial cells and is capable of preventing free fatty acid (FFA)-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells through its insulin sensitizing effect, specifically, through its stimulatory effect on PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathways. Vaspin significantly increased Akt phosphorylation and prevented the impairment of Akt phosphorylation by linoleic acid (LA) in insulin-stimulated endothelial cells, which effects were abolished by pretreatment with the PI3-kinase inhibitor, Wortmannin. Moreover, pretreatment with vaspin prevented LA-induced apoptosis in insulin-stimulated endothelial cells; this anti-apoptotic effect of vaspin was also eliminated by pretreatment with Wortmannin. The present study indicates that vaspin protects vascular endothelial cells from FFA-induced apoptosis through upregulation of the PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway. Our study is the first to demonstrate that vascular cells can be targets of vaspin. Our results further suggest that vaspin could have beneficial effects on the atherosclerosis.
