The current study explored potential function and underlying mechanisms of ELA in DKD. Our findings revealed that the ELA levels were decreased in the kidneys of DKD mice. ELA administration mitigated renal damage and downregulated the expression of fibronectin (FN), collagen Ⅳ (Col-Ⅳ), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the <i>db/db</i> mice and high glucose cultured HK-2 cells. Furthermore, the autophagy markers, the Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio, were significantly impaired in DKD, but the ELA treatment reversed these alterations. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effects of ELA on the secretion of fibrosis-associated proteins in high glucose conditions were blocked by pretreatment with 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor). It is likely that ELA protected against renal damage in the <i>db/db</i> mice and high glucose-induced HK-2 cell injury through the activation of renal tubular autophagy. In conclusion, ELA may effectively protect against DKD by activating high glucose-inhibited renal tubular autophagy.","PeriodicalId":100807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanjing Medical University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135894245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To entrain the master clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus to a precise 24-h rhythm, environmental zeitgebers are used by the circadian system. This is done primarily by signals from the retina via the retinohypothalamic tract, but other cues like exercise, feeding, temperature, anxiety, and social events have also been shown to be non-photic zeitgebers. The recently identified myokine irisin is proposed to serve as an entraining non-photic signal of exercise. Irisin is a product of cleavage and modification from its precursor membrane fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) in response to exercise. Apart from well-known peripheral effects, such as the “browning\" of white adipocytes, irisin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and display the effects on the brain. Experimental data suggest that FNDC5/irisin mediates the positive effects of physical activity on brain functions. In several brain areas, irisin induces the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In the master clock, a significant role in gating photic stimuli in the retinohypothalamic synapse for BDNF is suggested. However, the brain receptor for irisin is unknown yet. In the current review, the interactions of physical activity and the irisin/BDNF axis with the circadian system are reconceptualized.","PeriodicalId":100807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanjing Medical University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135838786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voltage-gated ion channels in β-cells, including Na<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, and Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels, aid in the release of insulin. Epithelial sodium channel alpha subunit (α-ENaC), a voltage-independent sodium ion channel, is also expressed in human pancreatic endocrine cells. However, there has not been much study done on ENaC's function in β-cells. In the current work, we found that human pancreatic glandule and pancreatic islet β-cells expressed α-ENaC. In the pancreas of <i>db/db</i> mice, high-fat diet-induced obesity, and in mouse islet β-cells (Min6 cells) treated with palmitate, α-ENaC expression was increased. When α-ENaC was overexpressed in Min6 cells, insulin content and glucose-induced insulin secretion were markedly reduced. On the other hand, palmitate injured islet β-cells, suppressed insulin synthesis and secretion, and increased α-ENaC expression in Min6 cells. However, α-ENaC knockout (<i>Scnn1a</i><sup>-/-</sup>) in Min6 cells attenuated β-cells disorder induced by palmitate. Furthermore, we revealed that α-ENaC regulated the ubiquitylation and degradation of Sirtuin 2 in β-cells. α-ENaC also modulated β-cell function related to inositol-requiring enzyme 1alpha/X-box-binding protein-1 (IRE1α/XBP1) and protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase/C/EBP homologous protein (PERK/CHOP) endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways. These results suggest that α-ENaC plays a novel role in insulin synthesis and secretion in β-cells. Upregulation of α-ENaC promotes islet β-cell dysfunction. As a result, α-ENaC is a key regulator involved in islet β-cell damage and a potential therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes mellitus.","PeriodicalId":100807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanjing Medical University","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
