Most consistently, the levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids are increased, and the levels of <span>l</span>-serine and glycine are decreased<span>¹</span>. Aberrant nonessential amino acid metabolism is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Elevated levels of plasma BCAAs have been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes since the 1960s<span>²</span>. A cluster of obesity-associated changes in the specific amino acid, acylcarnitine, and organic acid metabolites in obese compared with lean subjects was also associated with insulin resistance. Although it is also speculated that disturbances in aminoacidemia play a role in the development of diabetic complications, their pathogenesis has not been sufficiently elucidated in detail.</p><p>Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most frequent complication among diabetic patients. Its symptoms are pain, hyperalgesia, hypoalgesia, and paralysis, which can decrease the quality of life of patients. In diabetic peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerve fibers are affected from the prediabetic stage. Because diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a retrograde-type neuropathy, small nerve fibers located in the epidermis or cornea are first degraded. Small nerve fibers consist of myelinated Aδ fibers and unmyelinated C fibers. Small fiber neuropathy is a disorder of these nerve fibers, manifesting as spontaneous pain or loss of pain sensation with reduction of their density. As diabetic peripheral neuropathy progresses, large myelinated fibers are also decreased with segmental demyelination and microvascular changes, such as thickening of the vascular wall and stenosis of intraneuronal vessels. Without proper treatment, these patients develop paralysis or ulcer formation on the foot. To date, diabetic peripheral neuropathy is thought to be caused by aberrant glucose metabolism in neuronal cells, Schwann cells and endothelial cells in the peripheral nervous system. Abnormal glycemic metabolism elicits nerve dysfunction with activation of the polyol pathway, protein kinase C, advanced glycation end products and its receptor, the receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) pathway, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Clinically, in addition to hyperglycemia, metabolic syndrome, including dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension, is well known to be a contributor to the pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In addition to glucose and fatty acid metabolism, recent metabolomics studies have revealed the involvement of another metabolite, glucosamine, in the pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Ferrostatin-1 treatment or SNHG1 knockdown inhibited ferroptosis in high glucose (HG)-treated HK-2 cells and in db/db mice. Subsequently, miR-16-5p was confirmed to be a target for SNHG1, and directly targeted to ACSL4. Overexpression of ACSL4 greatly reversed the protective roles of SNHG1 knockdown in HG-induced ferroptosis of HK-2 cells.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>SNHG1 knockdown inhibited ferroptosis <i>via</i> the miR-16-5p/ACSL4 axis to alleviate diabetic nephropathy, which provided some new insights for the novel treatment of diabetic nephropathy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":190,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes Investigation","volume":"14 9","pages":"1056-1069"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jdi.14036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6232695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
