The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has rarely been explored. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network associated with T2DM was established to help deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanism of and therapeutic targets for T2DM.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets GSE114248, GSE51674 and GSE95849, respectively. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network associated with T2DM and its subnetwork were constructed. The hub genes were screened using a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.

Although the prevalence is rather low (about 1% in Europe), its clinical complications, as well as the disabling symptomatology, make it necessary multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches. Not recently several authors described the involvement of the well-known gut-skin axis in both pathogenesis and progression of dermatological diseases. In particular, a high frequency of intestinal disorders (such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease) has been reported in HS patients, leading to speculate the existence of a relationship between such gut and skin diseases. The keystone in this relationship seems to be an impairment of the physiological gut mucosal barrier structure, resulting in the so-called leaky gut. The leaky gut, thus, might be responsible for a dietary compound-caused activation of the local immune system, with consequent trigging of both local and systemic inflammation, resulting in exacerbation of skin symptoms in HS patients. The current literature suggests the use of a low fermentable, oligo-, di, mono-saccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet as a valid nutritional strategy in leaky gut.

While their involvement in cancer treatment is still being studied, recent research suggests they may have benefits in cancer therapy. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using search engines like Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed to explore the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists in tumor suppression and regression. Mostly in-vitro studies on GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promising effects in inhibiting cancer cell growth, inducing apoptosis, and modulating angiogenesis and have been reported to be beneficial in colon, prostate, gall bladder, ovarian, and endometrial carcinomas. However, concerns have been raised about potential tumorigeneses, as liraglutide has been reported to be associated with increased incidence of breast, thyroid, and pancreatic carcinomas. Whereas combination therapy of exendin-4 with gemcitabine may be beneficial in pancreatic cancer. GLP-1 receptor agonists may have significant potential in oncology, due to their various mechanisms of action and favorable safety profiles. Limited clinical application, lack of awareness, and the need for further research are current barriers.
