Oil-Gan, also known as emblica, is the fruit of the genus Phyllanthus emblica L. The fruits of these trees are high in nutrients and have excellent effects on health care and development values. There are many methods for the management of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, there is a lack of effective drugs for treating DN from throughout the disease course. The primary aim of this study was to examine the protective effects (including urine analyses, the measurement of inflammatory cytokine levels, and histological examination) and mechanisms of action of an ethyl acetate extract of P. emblica (EPE) on db/db mice, an animal model of diabetic nephropathy, as well as a secondary aim of examining the expression levels of protein kinase Cα (PKCα) in the kidney and its downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibrosis gene transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) by Western blot analyses. Eight db/m C57BLKS/J mice were used as the control group. Forty db/db mice were randomly divided into five groups. Treatments included vehicle, EPE1, EPE2, EPE3 (at doses of 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg EPE), or the comparative drug aminoguanidine for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks of treatment, blood samples were collected for analyses of blood glucose, insulin, and HbA1c levels, and pancreatic and kidney tissues were dissected for histological analyses. The present study indicated that the administration of EPE to db/db mice effectively controlled hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia by markedly lowering blood glucose, insulin, and glycosylated HbA1c levels. Administration of EPE to db/db mice decreased the levels of BUN and creatinine both in blood and urine and reduced urinary albumin excretion and the albumin creatine ratio (UACR) in urine. Moreover, EPE treatment decreased the blood levels of inflammatory cytokines, including kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and NLR family pyrin domain containing (NLRP3). Our findings showed that EPE not only had antihyperglycemic effects but also improved renal function in db/db mice. Histological examination of the kidney by immunohistochemistry indicated that EPE can improve kidney function by ameliorating glomerular morphological damage following glomerular injury; alleviating proteinuria by upregulating the expression of nephrin, a biomarker of early glomerular damage; and inhibiting glomerular expansion and tubular fibrosis. Moreover, the administration of EPE to db/db mice increased the expression levels of p- PKCα/t-PKCα but decreased the expression levels of VEGF and renal fibrosis biomarkers (TGF-β1, collagen IV, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, and Smad4), as shown by Western blot analyses. These results implied that EPE as a supplement has a protective effect against renal dysfunction through the amelioration of insulin resistance as well as the suppression of nephritis and fibrosis in a DN model.

In 2022, the new WHO Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors, Fifth Edition (beta version) (WHO 5th) was published. The importance of understanding the molecular genetics of thyroid tumors as revealed by large-scale genomic analyses such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Consequently, the WHO 5th was fundamentally revised, resulting in a systematic classification based on tumor cell-of-origin and clinical risk. This paper outlines following critical points of the WHO 5th. 1. Genetic mutations in follicular cell-derived neoplasms (FDN) highlight the role of mutations in the MAP kinase pathway, including RET, RAS, and BRAF, as drivers of carcinogenesis. Differentiated thyroid cancers such as follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) have specific genetic alterations that correlate with morphological classifications: RAS-like tumors (RLTs) and BRAF p.V600E-like tumors (BLTs), respectively. 2. The Framework for benign lesions have revised. The WHO 5th introduces new categories such as "developmental abnormalities" and "thyroid follicular nodular disease" in benign FDN. 3. Low-Risk Tumors include NIFTP, TT-UMP, and HTT. 4. PTC histological variants are reclassified as "subtypes" in the WHO 5th. 5. The concept of high-grade carcinomas is introduced, encompassing poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC), differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma (DHGTC), and high-grade medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). 6. Squamous cell carcinoma is included in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) in the WHO 5th due to shared genetic and prognostic features. 7. Hürthle cell adenoma/carcinoma is renamed oncocytic thyroid adenoma/carcinoma. 8. Other miscellaneous tumors are classified into salivary gland-type carcinomas of the thyroid, thyroid tumours of uncertain histogenesis, thymic tumours within the thyroid, and embryonal thyroid neoplasms. The WHO 5th thus emphasizes the importance of classifying tumors based on genetic abnormalities together with histomorphology, aiding in accurate pathological diagnosis and treatment selection, including molecular-targeted therapies.

MFGE8 is a major exosome (EV) protein known to mediate inflammation and atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in animal studies. However, its role in the pathophysiology of human T2DM, obesity, and cardiovascular disease has been controversial and less explored. Earlier, we reported a rare Asian Indian population-specific missense variant (rs371227978; Arg148His) in the MFGE8 associated with increased circulating Mfge8 and T2DM. Here, we have further investigated the role of Mfge8 with T2DM risk in additional Asian Indians (n=4917) and Europeans and other multiethnic cohorts from UK Biobank (UKBB) (n= 455,808) and the US (n=1150). We also evaluated the exposure of Mfge8-enriched human EVs (with and without mutation) in zebrafish (ZF) for their impact on the cardiometabolic organ system. Most individual carriers of Arg148His variant not only had high circulating Mfge8 but also showed a positive significant correlation with glucose (r= 0.42; p = 4.9x10-04), while the non-carriers showed a negative correlation of Mfge8 with glucose (r = -0.38; p = 0.001) in Asian Indians. However, the same variant was monomorphic in Europeans and other ethnic groups of UKBB and US cohorts. Even in the absence of Arg148His variant, serum Mfge8 correlated significantly with blood glucose both in Caucasians (r = 0.56; p = 8.4x10-10) and individuals from other ethnicities (African Americans, Hispanics, and others) (r = 0.31; p = 5.8x10-4). Since Mfge8 is an EV marker, the exposure of Mfge8-enriched human EVs to ZF larvae rapidly developed fatty liver disease and heart hypertrophy and exhibited redundant growth with poor muscular architecture with and without the high-fat diet (HFD), while the control group fishes developed fatty liver disease and heart hypertrophy only after the HFD feeding. With strong evidence from animal studies supporting the role of Mfge8 in obesity, insulin resistance, and the development of atherosclerosis in T2DM, the current research suggests that circulating Mfge8 may be a potential marker for preventing or reducing the risk of T2DM and cardiovascular disease.

Humans are often exposed to various environmental contaminants, among which phthalates are prevalent due to their extensive use as plasticizers in various consumer goods. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used phthalate, is recognized as an endocrine disruptor chemical (EDC). DEHP is reported to affect various organs. Few studies have addressed the effects of phthalates on bone. However, the effects of DEHP on the bone forming cells (osteoblasts) are obscure. The present study was peformed to determine the cytotoxic effects of DEHP on human osteoblasts in vitro and to delineate the mechansims. In this study, we exposed the human osteo-blastic cell line MG-63 to various concentrations of DEHP (1, 25, 50 and 100 µM) for 24, 48 and 72 h. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. Total RNA and protein were collected after 48 h treatment with 1 and 100 µM DEHP and determined for the mRNA and/or protein expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), sex steroid receptors (androgen and estrogen receptors), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). The mRNA expression was stud-ied by real-time RT-PCR analysis and the protein expression was determined by western blot analysis. Statistical analyses were done by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Students–Newman–Keuls (SNK) test. The exposure of MG-63 cells to DEHP caused a signifi-cant decrease in osteoblast viability in all the treatment groups and at all the time points stud-ied. Interestingly, DEHP exposure decreased the mRNA expression of ALP, a bone formation marker. DEHP had differential effects on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) mRNA and protein ex-pression. However, DEHP treatment downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of ERβ, and androgen receptor (AR). Surprisingly, DEHP downregulated the RANKL mRNA expression. DEHP decreased the protein expression of RUNX2, the key transcription factor and master regu-lator of bone formation. Furthermore, DEHP increased the PPARα protein expression in the os-teoblasts. Importantly, DEHP increased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules and thus oxidative stress in osteoblasts, as observed by increased hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical levels and lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, it decreased the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant levels namely catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase activity and reduced glutathione. Our study demonstrated that in vitro exposure to DEHP reduces the osteo-blast viability possibly through alterations in the oxidant-antioxidant system and modulation of the key genes involved in bone formation, highlighting the cytotoxic effects of DEHP on bone forming cells.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you for suggesting to submit the manuscript with the title “Insulin resistance develops due to an imbalance in the synthesis of cyclic AMP and the natural cyclic AMP antagonist prostaglandylinositol cyclic phosphate (cyclic PIP)” to the Editorial Board of the MDPI journal Stresses, and I ask for consideration to publish it in the journal Stresses. It was previously submitted to the MDPI journal Int. J. Mol. Sci. (IJMS-195 6513), but it was found that 1) it would not fit within the scope of this special edition and 2) it would primarily deal with cyclic PIP and would have not enough literature citation on the topic insulin resistance. The present version of the manuscript is improved, but the content is the same. The goal of this review is not to write again a summary on nearly all reports on insulin resistance as this was done by Dr. Petersen and Dr. Shulman, whose review has 961 literature citations. The present manuscript compiles what is known on cyclic PIP in relation to insulin resistance and the reason of writing this manuscript was that the discovered facts on cyclic PIP synthesis allow to suggest how insulin resistance most likely starts. Hitherto, reports on insulin resistance did not come close to this question. I am convinced that the manuscript makes an essential contribution to the question what causes the development of insulin resistance, and I have to say that stress overload is one of the reasons. Unfortunately, I have to mention a topic, about which I do not like to talk. Years ago, research groups postulated with rigor that the mediator of insulin action would be a peptide and then they suggested various, extracellularly synthesized glycans as mediators. They caused confusions and a high degree of disbelief in the matter of mediators of insulin action. In my review on cyclic PIP in IUBMB Life from 2020, I wrote in the introduction that cyclic PIP should not be confused with these mediators. But I cannot write this in the introduction of every report. I am keeping fingers crossed so that the editor in charge will find fair and openminded reviewers. Last not least I confirm that neither the manuscript nor any part of its content is currently under consideration or published in another journal. Kind regards, Henrich Wasner, PhD, BioReg Biopharm, TiLab; University of Illinois at Chicago; 2242 West Harrison St., Ste. 201, Chicago, Il 60612; USA

The leptin-melanocortin pathway is pivotal in appetite and energy homeostasis. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in this pathway lead to severe early-onset monogenic obesity (MO). The MC4R gene plays a central role in leptin-melanocortin signaling, and variants predominantly heterozygous in this gene are the most common cause of MO. We identified two novel heterozygous variants c,253A>G p.Ser85Gly and c.802T>C p.Tyr268His in the MC4R gene in two unrelated patients with morbid obesity and evaluated the functional impact of these variants. A targeted gene panel consisting of 52 obesity-related genes was undertaken. Variants were analyzed and filtered to identify potential disease-causing and validated using Sanger sequencing. The impact of the variants on the MC4R gene using in silico prediction tools and molecular dynamics simulation was assessed. To further study the pathogenicity of the identified variants, GT1-7 cells were transfected with plasmid DNA encoding either wild-type or mutant MC4R variants. The effects of allelic variations in MC4R gene on cAMP synthesis, MC4R protein level, and activation of ERB and CREB signaling pathways in both stimulated and unstimulated ɑ-MSH paradigms were determined for their functional implications. In-silico analysis suggested that the variants destabilized the MC4R structure and affect the overall dynamics of the MC4R protein, possibly leading to intracellular receptor retention. In-vitro analysis of the functional impact of these variants showed a significant reduction in cell surface receptor expression and impaired extracellular ligand binding activity, leading to reduced cAMP production. In-vitro analysis assays and in silico analysis revealed the pathogenicity of the two novel MC4R variants identified. Our analysis shows that the variants do not affect total protein expression; however, they are predicted to affect the post-translational localization of MC4R protein to the cell surface and impair downstream signaling cascades. This finding might help our patients to benefit from the novel therapeutic advances for monogenic forms of obesity.

The stimulus-secretion coupling of glucose-induced release is generally attributed to the metabolism of the hexose in the β-cells in the glycolytic pathway and the citric acid cycle. Glucose metabolism generates an increased cytosolic concentration of ATP and of the ATP/ADP ratio that closes the ATP-dependent K+-channel at the plasma membrane by the interaction of ATP with the regulatory Kir6.2 channel subunit The resultant depolarization of the β-cells opens voltage-dependent Ca2+-channels at the plasma membrane that allow an increase of the cytosolic cation concentration that triggers the exocytosis of insulin secretory granules. The resultant secretory response evolves in time as a biphasic secretion with a first and transient peak of approximately 10 minutes duration followed by a sustained phase of secretion lasting as long as the stimulus. Whereas the first transient peak can be reproduced by a simple depolarization of β-cells with high extracellular KCl maintaining the KATP-channels open with diazoxide, the sustained phase is agreed to depend on the participation of some metabolic signal that remains to be determined Our group has been investigating for several years the participation of β-cell GABA metabolism, together with that of glucose (the β-cell “specific” nutrient secretagogue) and some other “metabolic” secretagogues (branched-chain alpha-ketoacids and a mixture of L-Leucine + L-glutamine, at supraphysiological concentrations) in their mechanism of stimulation of insulin secretion. All three types of stimuli promote the flux in the GABA shunt of rat islets by different metabolic pathways that end in the production of α-ketoglutarate. This citric acid cycle intermediary is preferentially derived to the GABA shunt instead of its continuous oxidation in the citric acid cycle. Islet content of GABA is significantly suppressed by all the stimuli and blocking the GABA shunt with gabaculine, or ϒ-vinyl-GABA (GABAT inhibitors), diminish the insulin secretory responses as well as total ATP and the ATP/ADP ratio. It is concluded that GABA metabolism is increased in parallel to glucose metabolism and is significantly contributing to the magnitude of the insulin secretory response. Its possible implication in β-cells degradation in type-2 (perhaps also in type 1) diabetes is suggested.
