The current state of the art of quantitative phosphoproteomics and its applications to diabetes research

Protein phosphorylation is a fundamental regulatory mechanism in many cellular processes and aberrant perturbation of phosphorylation has been implicated in various human diseases. Kinases and their cognate inhibitors have been considered as hotspots for drug development. Therefore, the emerging tools, which enable a system-wide quantitative profiling of phosphoproteome, would offer a powerful impetus in unveiling novel signaling pathways, drug targets and/or biomarkers for diseases of interest. This review highlights recent advances in phosphoproteomics, the current state of the art of the technologies and the challenges and future perspectives of this research area. Finally, some exemplary applications of phosphoproteomics in diabetes research are underscored.

High glucose concentration induces endothelial cell proliferation by regulating cyclin‐D2‐related miR‐98

Cyclin D2 is involved in the pathology of vascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the role of cyclin‐D2‐regulated miRNAs in endothelial cell proliferation of T2DM. Results showed that higher glucose concentration (4.5 g/l) significantly promoted the proliferation of rat aortic endothelial cells (RAOECs), and significantly increased the expression of cyclin D2 and phosphorylation of retinoblastoma 1 (p‐RB1) in RAOECs compared with those under low glucose concentration. The cyclin D2‐3′ untranslated region is targeted by miR‐98, as demonstrated by miRNA analysis software. Western blot also confirmed that cyclin D2 and p‐RB1 expression was regulated by miR‐98. The results indicated that miR‐98 treatment can induce RAOEC apoptosis. The suppression of RAOEC growth by miR‐98 might be related to regulation of Bcl‐2, Bax and Caspase 9 expression. Furthermore, the expression levels of miR‐98 decreased in 4.5 g/l glucose‐treated cells compared with those treated by low glucose concentration. Similarly, the expression of miR‐98 significantly decreased in aortas of established streptozotocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic rat model compared with that in control rats; but cyclin D2 and p‐RB1 levels remarkably increased in aortas of STZ‐induced diabetic rats compared with those in healthy control rats. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that high glucose concentration induces cyclin D2 up‐regulation and miR‐98 down‐regulation in the RAOECs. By regulating cyclin D2, miR‐98 can inhibit human endothelial cell growth, thereby providing novel therapeutic targets for vascular complication of T2DM.     

Determination of metabolic equivalents during low- and high-intensity resistance exercise in healthy young subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes

The purpose of this study was to quantify the metabolic equivalents (METs) of resistance exercise in obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and healthy young subjects and to evaluate whether there were differences between sessions executed at low- versus high-intensity resistance exercise. Twenty obese patients with T2DM (62.9±6.1 years) and 22 young subjects (22.6±1.9 years) performed two training sessions: one at vigorous intensity (80% of 1-repetition maximum (1RM)) and one at moderate intensity (60% of 1RM). Both groups carried out three strength exercises with a 2-day recovery between sessions. Oxygen consumption was continuously measured 15 min before, during and after each training session. Obese T2DM patients showed lower METs values compared with young healthy participants at the baseline phase (F= 2043.86; P<0.01), during training (F=1140.59; P<0.01) and in the post-exercise phase (F=1012.71; P<0.01). No effects were detected in the group x intensity analysis of covariance. In this study, at both light-moderate and vigorous resistance exercise intensities, the METs value that best represented both sessions was 3 METs for the obese elderly T2DM patients and 5 METs for young subjects.

N-Indolylglycosides bearing modifications at the glucose C6-position as sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors

Suppression of glucose reabsorption through the inhibition of sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) is a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect of C6-substitution on inhibition of SGLT2 by N-indolylglucosides, a small library of 6-triazole, 6-amide, 6-urea, and 6-thiourea N-indolylglycosides were synthesized and tested. A detailed structure–activity relationship (SAR) study culminated in the identification of 6-amide derivatives 6a and 6o as potent SGLT2 inhibitors, which were further tested for inhibitory activity against SGLT1. The data obtained indicated that 6a and 6o are mildly to moderately selective for SGLT2 over SGLT1. Both compounds were also evaluated in a urinary glucose excretion test and pharmacokinetic study; 6a was found capable of inducing urinary glucose excretion in normal SD rats.     

Inflammations mediators and circulating levels of matrix metalloproteinases: Biomarkers of diabetes in Tunisians metabolic syndrome patients

AimsThis study investigates the relationships between matrix metalloproteinases, inflammations mediators and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Tunisians metabolic syndrome (Mets) patients.MethodsThe study has included 239 MetS patients and 247 controls. Mets was defined according to the NCEP–ATPIII report. Mets patients were also divided into two categories: 29 MetS non-diabetics and 210 MetS diabetics. Dysglycemia markers, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and White Blood Cells (WBC) counts were determined in patients and controls.ResultsIn our study, the level of inflammatory markers WBC, TNF-α and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-8 and MMP-9) were significantly higher in diabetic patients with MetS, as compared with non-diabetic MetS patients. Inflammation mediators and MMP-9 were significantly associated with many clinical characteristics of MetS. The use of ROC “Receiver Operating Characteristic” analysis revealed the impact of TNF alpha on diabetes patients with MetS. In fact TNF alpha was found as a sensitive parameter in these patients with a sensitivity of 85%.ConclusionInflammation, matrix metalloproteinases and dysglycemia markers are not expressed in isolation but rather concurrently and are continuously interacting with each other, in MetS and diabetics patients. These markers fit with an early stage of cardiovascular disease (CVD); and measuring them could improve the risk evaluation, an early diagnosis, and the prognosis of CVD.
