Serine phosphorylations on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) by diverse kinases aoccur widely during obesity-, stress-, and inflammation-induced conditions in models of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we define a region within the human IRS-1, which is directly C-terminal to the PTB domain encompassing numerous serine phosphorylation sites including Ser307 (mouse Ser302) and Ser312 (mouse 307) creating a phosphorylation insulin resistance (PIR) domain. We demonstrate that the IRS-1 PTB-PIR with its unphosphorylated serine residues interacts with the insulin receptor (IR) but loses the IR-binding when they are phosphorylated...

Recently, studies have reported a correlation that individuals with diabetes show an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mulberry leaves, serving as both a traditional medicinal herb and a food source, exhibit significant hypoglycemic and antioxidative properties. The flavonoid compounds in mulberry leaf offer therapeutic effects for relieving diabetic symptoms and providing neuroprotection. However, the mechanisms of this effect have not been fully elucidated. This investigation aimed to investigate the combined effects of specific mulberry leaf flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin, rhamnocitrin, tetramethoxyluteolin, and norartocarpetin) on both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and AD...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is marked by persistent hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, imposing substantial health burdens and elevating the risk of systemic complications and cardiovascular diseases. While the pathogenesis of diabetes remains elusive, a cyclical relationship between insulin resistance and inflammation is acknowledged, wherein inflammation exacerbates insulin resistance, perpetuating a deleterious cycle. Consequently, anti-inflammatory interventions offer a therapeutic avenue for T2DM management...

Protein tyrosine phosphatases PTPN2 and PTPN1 (also known as PTP1B) have been implicated in a number of intracellular signaling pathways of immune cells. The inhibition of PTPN2 and PTPN1 has emerged as an attractive approach to sensitize T cell anti-tumor immunity. Two small molecule inhibitors have been entered the clinic. Here we report the design and development of compound 4, a novel small molecule PTPN2/N1 inhibitor demonstrating nanomolar inhibitory potency, good in vivo oral bioavailability, and robust in vivo antitumor efficacy...

BACKGROUND: Endothelial activation promotes the release of procoagulant extracellular vesicles and inflammatory mediators from specialized storage granules. Endothelial membrane exocytosis is controlled by phosphorylation. We hypothesized that the absence of PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) in endothelial cells promotes venous thromboinflammation by triggering endothelial membrane fusion and exocytosis. METHODS: Mice with inducible endothelial deletion of PTP1B (End...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a non-transmembrane phosphatase, has a major role in a variety of signalling pathways, including direct negative regulation of classic insulin and leptin signalling pathways, and is implicated in the pathogenesis of several cardiometabolic diseases and cancers. As such, PTP1B has been a therapeutic target for over two decades, with PTP1B inhibitors identified either from natural sources or developed throughout the years. Some of these inhibitors have reached phase I and/or II clinical trials in humans for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and/or metastatic breast cancer...

Protein loop dynamics have recently been recognized as central to enzymatic activity, specificity and stability. However, the factors controlling loop opening and closing kinetics have remained elusive. Here, we combine molecular dynamics simulations with string-method determination of complex reaction coordinates to elucidate the molecular mechanism and rate-limiting step for WPD-loop dynamics in the PTP1B enzyme. While protein conformational dynamics is often represented as diffusive motion hindered by solvent viscosity and internal friction, we demonstrate that loop opening and closing is activated...

Diabetes is a significant global health concern that increases the vulnerability to various chronic illnesses. In view of this issue, the current research aimed to examine the effects of administering an extract derived from the tubers of Cyperus rotundus L (CrE) on obesity, type 1 diabetes, and liver-kidney toxicity. Through the utilization of HPLC-DAD analysis, it was discovered that the extract contained several components, including quercetin (47.8%), luteolin glucoside (17%), luteolin (7.56%), apigenin-7-glucoside (6...

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a growing global problem that causes various complications such as diabetes, cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, and hepatobiliary disease. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has been reported to exhibit multiple pharmaceutical effects. This study aimed to explore the effects of ALA on obesity-induced adipose tissue accumulation, cognitive impairment, inflammation, and colonic mucosal barrier integrity. METHODS: Mice were fed with high-fat diet (HFD) and were treated with ALA (60 or 100 mg/kg)...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is one of the target enzymes whose disruption leads to obesity and diabetes. A series of PTP1B inhibitors were isolated from the leaves of Artocarpus elasticus , used in traditional medicines for diabetes. The isolated inhibitors ( 1-13 ), including two new compounds ( 1 and 2 ), consisted of dihydroflavonols and flavones. The structural requirements for the PTP1B inhibitory mode and potency were revealed in both skeletons. The two highest PTP1B inhibitory properties were dihydroflavonol 1 and flavone 6 analogs with IC50 values of 0...

BACKGROUND: The protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays a crucial role in the development of insulin resistance. Aerobic training (AT) and vitamin D (Vit D) supplementation have been shown to individually improve glucose tolerance and diabetes-related factors. However, the impact of their combined effect on PTP1B gene expression and serum irisin in the visceral adipose tissue remains unknown. This study aims to investigate whether 8 weeks of combined AT with Vit D supplementation can improve the expression of PTP1B in adipose tissue and serum irisin in obese rats with type 2 diabetes (T2D)...

BACKGROUND: Anthocyanins are a group of natural products widely found in plants. They have been found to alleviate the disorders of glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: HepG2 and L02 cells were incubated with 0.2 mM PA and 30 mM glucose for 24 h to induce IR, and cells treated with 5 mM glucose were used as the control.

The role of non-receptor type Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTPases) in controlling pathways related to diabetes and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is significant. The insulin signal transduction pathway is regulated by the steady-state phosphorylation of tyrosyl residues of the insulin receptor and post-receptor substrates. PTPase has been shown to have a physiological role in the regulation of reversible tyrosine phosphorylation. There are several non-receptor type PTPases. PTPase containing the SH-2 domain (SHP-2) and the non-receptor type PTPase (PTP1B; encoded by the PTPN1 gene) are involved in negative regulation of the insulin signaling pathway, thereby indicating that the pathway can be made more efficient by the reduction in the activity of specific PTPases...

Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of infection and are critical for pathogen clearance. Therapeutic use of primary neutrophils has been limited as they have a short lifespan and are not amenable to genetic manipulation. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide a robust source of neutrophils for infusion and are genetically tractable. However, current work has indicated that dampened intracellular signaling limits iPSC-derived neutrophil (iNeutrophil) cellular activation and antimicrobial response...
