We used db/db mice and high fat diet-streptozotocin induced diabetic mice to investigate the underlying mechanisms of fenofibrate’s beneficial effects on heart function. Fenofibrate reduced fibrosis, and lipid accumulation, and suppressed inflammatory and immunological responses in the heart via TNF signaling. In addition, we investigated the beneficial effects of fenofibrate on HF hospitalization. The Korean National Health Insurance database was used to identify 427,154 fenofibrate users and 427,154 non-users for comparison. During the 4.22-year follow-up, fenofibrate use significantly reduced the risk of HF hospitalization (hazard ratio, 0.907; 95% CI 0.824–0.998). The findings suggest that fenofibrate may be a useful therapeutic agent for obesity- and diabetes-related cardiomyopathy.","PeriodicalId":9374,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Diabetology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to identify promising drug targets for NISCM. We utilized cis-pQTLs from the deCODE study, which includes data from 35,559 Icelanders, and SNPs from the FinnGen study, which includes data from 1,754 NISCM cases and 340,815 controls of Finnish ancestry. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to estimate the causal relationship between circulating plasma protein levels and NISCM risk. Proteins with significant associations underwent false discovery rate (FDR) correction, followed by Bayesian colocalization analysis. The expression of top two proteins, LILRA5 and NELL1, was further analyzed using various NISCM datasets. Descriptions from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) validated protein expression. The impact of environmental exposures on LILRA5 was assessed using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), and molecular docking identified the potential small molecule interactions. MR analysis identified 255 circulating plasma proteins associated with NISCM, with 16 remaining significant after FDR correction. Bayesian colocalization analysis identified LILRA5 and NELL1 as significant, with PP.H4 > 0.8. LILRA5 has a protective effect (OR = 0.758, 95% CI, 0.670–0.857) while NELL1 displays the risk effect (OR = 1.290, 95% CI, 1.199–1.387) in NISCM. Decreased LILRA5 expression was found in NISCM such as diabetic, hypertrophic, dilated, and inflammatory cardiomyopathy, while NELL1 expression increased in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. HPA data indicated high LILRA5 expression in neutrophils, macrophages and endothelial cells within normal heart and limited NELL1 expression. Immune infiltration analysis revealed decreased neutrophil in diabetic cardiomyopathy. CTD analysis identified several small molecules that affect LILRA5 mRNA expression. Among these, Estradiol, Estradiol-3-benzoate, Gadodiamide, Topotecan, and Testosterone were found to stably bind to the LILRA5 protein at the conserved VAL-15 or THR-133 residues in the Ig-like C2 domain. Based on European Ancestry Cohort, this study reveals that LILRA5 and NELL1 are potential therapeutic targets for NISCM, with LILRA5 showing particularly promising prospects in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is believed to play a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health through its multifaceted atheroprotective effects and its capacity to enhance glycemic control. The impact of dietary interventions and intermittent fasting (IF) on HDL functionality remains uncertain. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of dietary interventions and IF as a strategy to safely improve glycemic control and reduce body weight on functional parameters of HDL in individuals with T2DM. Before the 12-week intervention, all participants (n = 41) of the INTERFAST-2 study were standardized to a uniform basal insulin regimen and randomized to an IF or non-IF group. Additionally, all participants were advised to adhere to dietary recommendations that promoted healthy eating patterns. The IF group (n = 19) followed an alternate-day fasting routine, reducing their calorie intake by 75% on fasting days. The participants’ glucose levels were continuously monitored. Other parameters were measured following the intervention: Lipoprotein composition and subclass distribution were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. HDL cholesterol efflux capacity, paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity, lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity, and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) activity were assessed using cell-based assays and commercially available kits. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) levels were determined by ELISA. Following the 12-week intervention, the IF regimen significantly elevated serum apoM levels (p = 0.0144), whereas no increase was observed in the non-IF group (p = 0.9801). ApoM levels correlated with weight loss and fasting glucose levels in the IF group. Both groups exhibited a robust enhancement in HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0006) after 12 weeks. Notably, only the non-IF group exhibited significantly elevated activity of PON1 (p = 0.0455) and LCAT (p = 0.0117) following the 12-week intervention. In contrast, the changes observed in the IF group did not reach statistical significance. A balanced diet combined with meticulous insulin management improves multiple metrics of HDL function. While additional IF increases apoM levels, it does not further enhance other aspects of HDL functionality. The study was registered at the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS) on 3 September 2019 under the number DRKS00018070.

To get deeper insights into the interplay between childhood obesity and IR, we leveraged a comprehensive experimental design based on a combination of observational data, in vivo challenge tests (i.e., oral glucose tolerance test), and ex vivo assays (i.e., incubation of erythrocytes with insulin) using a population comprising children with obesity and IR, children with obesity without IR, and healthy controls, from whom plasma and erythrocyte samples were collected for subsequent metabolomics analysis. Children with concomitant IR showed exacerbated metabolic disturbances in the crosstalk between endogenous, microbial, and environmental determinants, including failures in energy homeostasis, amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress, synthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids, membrane lipid composition, as well as differences in exposome-related metabolites associated with diet, exposure to endocrine disruptors, and gut microbiota. Furthermore, challenge tests and ex vivo assays revealed a deleterious impact of IR on individuals’ metabolic flexibility, as reflected in blunted capacity to regulate homeostasis in response to hyperinsulinemia, at both systemic and erythroid levels. Thus, we have demonstrated for the first time that metabolite alterations in erythrocytes represent reliable and sensitive biomarkers to disentangle the metabolic complexity of IR and childhood obesity.

Our study is a single-centre, prospective, and echocardiography-based study. Consecutive HFmrEF patients, defined as HF patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 40 and 49%, between January 2016 to December 2021 were included. Echocardiography was re-examined at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up to assess the LVRR dynamically. Body mass index (BMI), fat mass, fat-free mass, percent body fat (PBF), CUN-BAE index, and lean mass index (LMI) were adopted as anthropometric parameters in our study to assess body composition. The primary outcome was LVRR, defined as: (1) a reduction higher than 10% in LV end-diastolic diameter index (LVEDDI), or a LVEDDI < 33 mm/m2, (2) an absolute increase of LVEF higher than 10 points compared with baseline echocardiogram, or a follow-up LVEF ≥50%. The secondary outcome was a composite of re-hospitalization for HF or cardiovascular death. A total of 240 HFmrEF patients were enrolled in our formal analysis. After 1-year follow-up based on echocardiography, 113 (47.1%) patients developed LVRR. Patients with LVRR had higher fat mass (21.7 kg vs. 19.3 kg, P = 0.034) and PBF (28.7% vs. 26.6%, P = 0.047) compared with those without. The negative correlation between anthropometric parameters and baseline LVEDDI was significant (all P < 0.05). HFmrEF patients with higher BMI, fat mass, PBF, CUN-BAE index, and LMI had more pronounced and persistent increase of LVEF and decline in LV mass index (LVMI). Univariable Cox regression analysis revealed that higher BMI (HR 1.042, 95% CI 1.002–1.083, P = 0.037) and fat mass (HR 1.019, 95% CI 1.002–1.036, P = 0.026) were each significantly associated with higher cumulative incidence of LVRR for HFmrEF patients, while this relationship vanished in the adjusted model. Mediation analysis indicated that the association between BMI and fat mass with LVRR was fully mediated by baseline LV dilation. Furthermore, higher fat mass (aHR 0.957, 95% CI 0.917–0.999, P = 0.049) and PBF (aHR 0.963, 95% CI 0.924–0.976, P = 0.043) was independently associated with lower risk of adverse clinical events. Body composition played an important role in the LVRR and clinical outcomes for HFmrEF. For HFmrEF patients, BMI and fat mass was positively associated with the cumulative incidence of LVRR, while higher fat mass and PBF predicted lower risk of adverse clinical events but not LMI.

Subgroup analyses were performed according to potential modifiers. Overall, 5208 AMI patients, consisting of 375 developing CS were finally included. The TyG index exhibited an apparently higher level in AMI populations developing CS than in those who did not experienced CS [9.2 (8.8–9.7) vs. 9.0 (8.5–9.5)], with a moderate discrimination ability to recognize AMICS from the general AMI (AUC: 0.604). Logistic analyses showed that the TyG index was significantly correlated with in-hospital and ICU mortality. RCS analysis demonstrated a linear link between elevated TyG and increased risks regarding in-hospital and ICU mortality in the AMICS population. An increased mortality risk remains evident in PSM-, OW- and IPTW-adjusted populations with higher TyG index who have undergone CS. Correlation analyses demonstrated an apparent link between TyG index and APS score. Subgroup analyses presented a stable link between elevated TyG and mortality particularly in older age, females, those who are overweight or hypertensive, as well as those without diabetes. Elevated TyG index was related to the incidence of CS following AMI and higher mortality risks in the population with AMICS. Our findings pointed a previously undisclosed role of TyG index in regard to AMICS that still requires further validation.","PeriodicalId":9374,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Diabetology","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
