Sweet Killing in Obesity and Diabetes: The Metabolic Role of the BH3-only Protein BIM

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder affecting more than 400 million individuals and their families worldwide. The major forms of diabetes (types 1 and 2) are characterized by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and, in some cases, loss of β-cell mass causing hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency. The BCL-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only protein BIM has a wide role in apoptosis induction in cells. In this review, we describe the apoptotic mechanisms mediated by BIM activation in β cells in obesity and both forms of diabetes. We focus on molecular pathways triggered by inflammation, saturated fats, and high levels of glucose. Besides its role in cell death, BIM has been implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and cellular metabolism in hepatocytes. BIM is both a key mediator of pancreatic β-cell death and hepatic insulin resistance and is thus a potential therapeutic target for novel anti-diabetogenic drugs. We consider the implications and challenges of targeting BIM in the treatment of the disease.     

CXC chemokine CXCL12 tissue expression and circulating levels in peptic ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori infection

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is among the most prevalent human infections. CXCL12 is a well-known CXC chemokine involved in inflammation and play major roles in angiogenesis. There is currently very limited data on the role of CXCL12 in peptic ulcer disease. Hence, we aimed to explore whether CXCL12 is involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer induced by H. pylori. In this study, we enrolled 102 H. pylori-infected patients, including 51 with active ulcer (GA) and 51 with healing ulcer (GH). We also recruited 50 healthy subjects as control, which did not show any sign or symptoms of chronic inflammatory diseases, infection, or immune-related disorders. Endoscopy was performed to determine the stage of the disease. ELISA was used for detection of H. pylori infection and CXCL12 measurement. We also employed western blotting to detect CXCL12 in ulcerative lesions of H. pylori. Demographic data were also collected by questionnaire. Our results demonstrated that CXCL12 serum levels in GA group (151.8 ± 18.31 pg/mL) were significantly higher than those in GH (36.89 ± 6.78 pg/mL) and control groups (33.77 ± 9.12 pg/mL) (P < 0.0001). However, we did not observe a significant difference between GH and control groups. Moreover, overexpression of CXCL12 in gastric lesions of patients in GA group was confirmed by Western blot analysis. According to the result of the present study, it could be concluded that CXCL12 is involved in the pathogenesis and healing of H. pylori-induced peptic ulcer. CXCL12 serum levels may also be used to distinguish between GA and GH phases of the disease.

Immunoreactivities for epidermal growth factor (EGF) and for EGF receptors in rats with gastric ulcers

Summary The present study was aimed at assessing whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptors are present in the gastric mucosa during the healing of gastric ulcers. Immunohistochemical, immunochemical and functional studies were performed in rats after induction of ulcers in the oxyntic mucosa. Controls, which included non-operated and sham-operated animals, displayed only rare cells in the bottom of the oxyntic glands showing EGF-like immunoreactivity. Within one day after ulcer induction, a markedly increased number of chief cells in undamaged mucosa showed intense staining. Concomitantly, there was an increased immunoreactivity for EGF receptors in the mucous neck cells. Maximal immunostaining for both compounds was observed at 3 days after ulcer induction; augmented staining was still demonstrable after 3 weeks. RIA revealed significantly increased EGF concentration in the oxyntic mucosa three days after ulcer induction, and at this stage stimulated gastric acid secretion, measured in a parallel group of chronic fistula rats, indicated significant inhibition. The transient increases in EGF-like and EGF receptor immunoreactivities may stimulate gland cell proliferation. The local release of EGF-like substances may also serve to reduce gastric acidity and thereby promote ulcer healing.     

The Peptidergic Brain-Gut Axis: Influence on Gastric Ulcer Formation

The existence of a relationship between the brain and the formation of gastric ulcers has been suspected since the last century. The advancement of stereotaxic procedures and the use of electrical lesion or stimulation have allowed localization within the limbic system, hypothalamus and brain stem, of discrete nuclei that influence the formation of gastric ulceration in experimental animals. Recently, further progress in the understanding of how the brain may influence gastric pathogenesis has been made by the demonstration that specific peptides act in the central nervous system to induce or prevent the formation of gastric ulcers and to markedly alter gastric secretory and motor function. Peptides established to have a centrally mediated protective effect are bombesin, calcitonin, corticotropin-releasing factor, neurotensin and opioid peptides. Growing evidence suggests a possible role for endogenous thyroptropin-releasing hormone in mediating cold-restraint stress induced gastric lesions. Circadian variations of the content and release of these peptides have been demonstrated in specific brain structures. To what extent such rhythms of peptide secretion are potentially linked to the circadian changes in the susceptibility to ulcer formation is worth investigating.     

Chronobiologic Factors in Experimental Stress Ulcer

The available literature on chronobiologic factors in experimental stress ulcer is extremely small and thematically limited. It focuses almost exclusively on circadian rhythms and, within that, on rhythms related to light-dark cycles, activity and body temperature. Among these, only differences in ulcer induction related to circadian activity patterns have been adequately demonstrated. Other circadian patterns and other temporal phase relationships might be profitably explored, including those related to postnatal development. It is also likely that the important relationships between biorhythms and stress ulcer are not limited to ulcer induction. Future studies should address chronobiologic factors in predisposition, severity of illness, the probability of recovery and response to various therapeutic interventions.
