We hypothesized that IL-6-induced inflammation alters gene expression in the developing fetus. To test this, pregnant mice were administered IL-6 or saline during mid-gestation. Newborn mouse kidneys were analyzed using mRNA-seq, miRNA-seq and whole-genome bisulfite-seq (WGBS). A multi-omics approach was employed to quantify mRNA gene expression, miRNA expression and DNA methylation, using advanced bioinformatics and data integration techniques. Our analysis identified 19 key genes present in multiple omics datasets, regulated by epigenetics and miRNAs. We constructed a regulatory network for these genes, revealing disruptions in pathways such as Mannose type O-glycan biosynthesis, the cell cycle, apoptosis and FoxO signaling. Notably, the Atp7b gene was regulated by DNA methylation and miR-223 targeting, whereas the Man2a1 gene was controlled by DNA methylation affecting energy metabolism.

Indeed, inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP and IL-6 predict the development of T2D and its complications, suggesting that LGI already increases before T2D diagnosis and remains elevated even after treatment. Overnutrition, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, obesity, and aging are all recognized triggers of LGI, promoting insulin resistance and sustaining the pathogenesis of T2D. Once developed, and even before frank appearance, people with T2D undergo a pathological metabolic remodeling, with an alteration of multiple CVD risk factors, i.e., glycemia, lipids, blood pressure, and renal function. In turn, such variables foster a range of inflammatory pathways and mechanisms, e.g., immune cell stimulation, the accrual of senescent cells, long-lasting epigenetic changes, and trained immunity, which are held to chronically fuel LGI at the systemic and tissue levels. Targeting of CVD risk factors partially ameliorates LGI. However, some long-lasting inflammatory pathways are unaffected by common therapies, and LGI burden is still increased in many T2D patients, a phenomenon possibly underlying the residual inflammatory risk (i.e., having hs-CRP > 2 mg/dL despite optimal LDL cholesterol control). On the other hand, selected disease-modifying drugs, e.g., GLP-1RA, seem to also act on the pathogenesis of T2D, curbing the inflammatory trajectory of the disease and possibly preventing it if introduced early. In addition, selected trials demonstrated the potential of canonical anti-inflammatory therapies in reducing the rate of CVDs in patients with this condition or at high risk for it, many of whom had T2D. Since colchicine, an inhibitor of immune cell activation, is now approved for the prevention of CVDs, it might be worth exploring a possible therapeutic paradigm to identify subjects with T2D and an increased LGI burden to treat them with this drug. Upcoming studies will reveal whether disease-modifying drugs reverse early T2D by suppressing sources of LGI and whether colchicine has a broad benefit in people with this condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11476093/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistently, we demonstrate that NOTUM is highly expressed in human CRC and its expression positively correlates with the expression of FASN in tumor tissues. Utilizing overexpression and shRNA-mediated knockdown of FASN, we demonstrate that upregulation of FASN increases β-catenin transcriptional activity, NOTUM expression and secretion, and enhances stem-like properties of human CRC cells. Pharmacological inhibition of NOTUM decreases adenoma organoids growth and proliferation of cancer cells. In summary, upregulation of FASN enhances β-catenin signaling, increases NOTUM expression and stem-like properties of CRC cells, thus suggesting that targeting FASN upstream of the β-catenin/NOTUM axis may be an effective preventative therapeutic strategy for CRC.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11475157/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
