Diagnosis is based on characteristic clinical manifestations, along with laboratory investigation and magnetic resonance imaging to exclude other potential causes, such as tumours, multiple sclerosis, or vascular compression.

Ferroptosis has recently been emphasized as a main contributor to the development of DCM. Hence, the current study aimed to assess the effects of morin, a well-known phytochemical, on the DCM. In this regard, DCM in Wistar rats was induced by streptozotocin (STZ). After treatment of animals with a dose of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg of morin orally for 60 days, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), p53, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in gene and protein levels in cardiac tissue were measured. Moreover, determination of redox status (GSH, SOD, CAT, and MDA) and inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-) in the cardiac tissue was performed and the levels of glucolipid profile, iron profile, and cardiac markers (troponin T and CK-MB) were assessed. The findings demonstrated that the administration of morin restored glucolipid and iron profiles, improved hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy, and suppressed inflammatory responses (p-value<0.001). Moreover, morin at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day was able to increase the levels of SLC7A11, SIRT1, GSH, SOD, CAT, and GPX4 while decreasing the cardiac levels of p53 and MDA (p-value<0.05). In conclusion, the findings suggest morin could alleviate DCM probably through modulation of ferroptosis via the SIRT1/p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway activation and suppression of oxidative stress and inflammation.</p>","PeriodicalId":94001,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and clinical endocrinology & diabetes : official journal, German Society of Endocrinology [and] German Diabetes Association","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618006","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}

Mice underwent diabetes induction by streptozotocin, while human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to 5.5, 10, 20 or 40 mM glucose. HUVECs were transfected with negative or Metrnl or si-nc or si-Metrnl plasmids via Lipofectamine 2000. The expression of Metrnl was down-regulated in both patients and the murine model of DFU. Elevated glucose levels diminished Metrnl through enhanced Metrnl ubiquitination. The suppression of Metrnl exacerbated foot ulcer in the mouse model of DFU. Metrnl alleviated oxidative stress and ferroptosis in the DFU model by inhibiting mitochondrial damage. Metrnl induced liver kinase B1 (LKB1)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling in the DFU model. LKB1 attenuated the effects of Metrnl on oxidative stress and ferroptosis in the DFU model.
