histone deacetylase diabetes

Obesity, with complications such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and even cancer, is rampant worldwide. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been extensively studied as key players in the epigenetic regulation of cellular metabolism. However, the function of HDAC11 has long been focused on the immune and nervous systems and cancer development, and its potential role in obesity has been poorly studied. We found that the expression of HDAC11 was highly upregulated in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of obese mice and was closely related to the progression of obesity...

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) modulate β cell function in preclinical models of diabetes; however, the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects have not been determined. In this study, we investigated the impact of the HDI sodium butyrate (NaB) on β cell function and calcium (Ca 2+ ) signaling using ex vivo and in vitro models of diabetes. Our results show that NaB significantly improved glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets from human organ donors with type 2 diabetes and in cytokine-treated INS-1 β cells...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is an umbrella term for a range of diseases ranging from hepatic fat accumulation and steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in the absence of excessive alcohol consumption and other definite liver damage factors. The incidence of NAFLD has increased significantly in recent years and will continue to grow in the coming decades. NAFLD has become a huge health problem and economic burden. SIRT1 is a member of Sirtuins, a group of highly conserved histone deacetylases regulated by NAD+, and plays a vital role in regulating cholesterol and lipid metabolism, improving oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance through deacetylating some downstream transcription factors and thus improving NAFLD...

Sirtuins, also called silent information regulator 2, are enzymes that rely on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to function as histone deacetylases. Further investigation is warranted to explore the advantageous impacts of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a constituent of the sirtuin group, on lipid metabolism, in addition to its well-researched involvement in extending lifespan. The regulation of gene expression has been extensively linked to SIRT1. Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) is a substrate of SIRT1 that has attracted significant interest due to its role in multiple cellular processes including cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, and metabolic functions...

Carbohydrate metabolism disorders (CMDs), such as diabetes, galactosemia, and mannosidosis, cause ciliopathy-like multiorgan defects. However, the mechanistic link of cilia to CMD complications is still poorly understood. Herein, we describe a significant cilium disassembly upon treatment of cells with pathologically relevant aldoses rather than the corresponding sugar alcohols. Moreover, environmental aldehydes are able to trigger cilium disassembly by the steric hindrance effect of their formyl groups. Mechanistic studies reveal that aldehydes stimulate extracellular calcium influx across the plasma membrane, which subsequently activates the calmodulin-Aurora A-histone deacetylase 6 pathway to deacetylate axonemal microtubules and triggers cilium disassembly...

Metformin (Met) is the first-line therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus but, in last few years, it has also been evaluated as anti-cancer agent. Several pathways, such as AMPK or PI3K/Akt/mTOR, are likely to be involved in the anti-cancer Met activity. In addition, hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) and H2 S donors have been described as anti-cancer agents affecting cell-cycle and inducing apoptosis. Among H2 S donors, isothiocyanates are endowed with a further anti-cancer mechanism: the inhibition of the histone deacetylase enzymes...

Butyrate, a gut microbial metabolite, has beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and has become an attractive drug candidate for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recently, we showed that butyrate protects pancreatic beta cells against cytokine-induced dysfunction. In this study, we explored the underlying mechanisms of butyrate action. Pancreatic mouse islets were exposed to a non-cytotoxic concentration of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) for ten days to mimic low-grade inflammation in T2D. Similar to the effect of butyrate, an isoform-selective histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor normalized IL-1β-reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and insulin content...

The important role of m6A RNA modification on β cell function has been established, yet how it regulates pancreas development and endocrine differentiation remains unknown. Here, we generated transgenic mice lacking RNA methyltransferase-like 3 (Mettl3) specifically in Pdx1+ pancreatic progenitor cells and found the mutant mice developed hyperglycemia and hypo-insulinemia at 2 weeks of age, with atrophic pancreas, reduced islet mass and abnormal increase in duct formation. At E15.5, Mettl3 deletion caused a significant loss of Ngn3+ endocrine progenitor cells, which was accompanied by increased Sox9+ duct precursor cells...

CARD9, a scaffolding protein, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. We recently reported novel roles for CARD9 in islet β-cell dysregulation under duress of gluco (HG)- and glucolipotoxic (GLT) stress. CARD9 expression was also increased in β-cells following exposure to HG and GLT stress. The current study is aimed at understanding the putative roles of histone deacetylation in HG- and GLT-induced expression of CARD9. Using two structurally distinct inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACs), namely trichostatin (TSA) and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), we provide the first evidence to suggest that the increased expression of CARD9 seen under duress of HG and GLT stress is under the regulatory control of histone deacetylation...

Previous studies have found that β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the main component of ketone bodies, is of physiological importance as a backup energy source during starvation or induces diabetic ketoacidosis when insulin deficiency occurs. Ketogenic diets (KD) have been used as metabolic therapy for over a hundred years, it is well known that ketone bodies and BHB not only serve as ancillary fuel substituting for glucose but also induce anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective features via binding to several target proteins, including histone deacetylase (HDAC), or G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)...

INTRODUCTION: Current treatments for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are insufficiently effective for many individuals and do not treat nonpain signs and symptoms. The enzyme histone deacetylase type 6 (HDAC6) may play a role in the pathophysiology of painful DPN, and inhibition of HDAC6 has been proposed as a potential treatment. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of the novel HDAC6 inhibitor ricolinostat for the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy...

Diabetic painful neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most detrimental complications of diabetes. Alterations in neuroinflammatory mediators play significant roles in the development of DPN. Infiltration of the neutrophils and monocyte/macrophages contributes substantial role in the degenerative process of the distal sciatic nerve by forming neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) under diabetic condition. Citrullination of histones due to increase in protein arginine deiminase (PAD) enzyme activity under hyperglycemia may promote NET formation, which can further increase the cytokine production by activating macrophages and proliferation of neutrophils...

HDAC9 is a histone deacetylase enzyme belonging to the class IIa of HDACs which catalyses histone deacetylation. HDAC9 inhibit cell proliferation by repairing DNA, arresting the cell cycle, inducing apoptosis, and altering genetic expression. HDAC9 plays a significant part in human physiological system and are involved in various type of diseases like cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis and CVD, autoimmune response, inflammatory disease, osteoporosis and liver fibrosis. This review discusses the role of HDAC9 in different diseases and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of various hydroxamate and non-hydroxamate-based inhibitors...

This family is one of the essential factors for postponing aging and increasing the life span of organisms. Sirtuins play a role in regulating the function of various cellular processes such as cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation...

BACKGROUND: APN (adiponectin) and APPL1 (adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1) are potent vasculoprotective molecules, and their deficiency (eg, hypoadiponectinemia) contributes to diabetic vascular complications. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern their vasculoprotective genes as well as their alteration by diabetes remain unknown. METHODS: Diabetic medium-cultured rat aortic endothelial cells, mouse aortic endothelial cells from high-fat-diet animals, and diabetic human aortic endothelial cells were used for molecular/cellular investigations...

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial condition with metabolic-related complications, such as diabetic nephropathy and chronic renal disorder, which are the leading cause of renal transplant globally. Protective effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi) have been documented in metabolic-linked pathologies. Nonetheless, the current study investigated the restorative role of HDACi, butyrate in experimental PCOS-induced renal disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Female Wistar rats (8-week-old) were divided into groups; control, butyrate-treated, letrozole and letrozole + butyrate-treated groups...

Sirtuins belong to the class III histone deacetylases and possess nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase activity. They are involved in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways implicated in cardiovascular diseases. Autophagy is a crucial adaptive cellular response to stress stimuli. Mounting evidence suggests a strong correlation between Sirtuins and autophagy, potentially involving cross-regulation and crosstalk. Sirtuin-mediated autophagy plays a crucial regulatory role in some cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypertension, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and drug-induced myocardial damage...

Post-translational modifications of histone proteins control the expression of genes. Metabolites from central and one-carbon metabolism act as donor moieties to modify histones and regulate gene expression. Thus, histone modification and gene regulation are connected to the metabolite status of the cell. Histone modifiers, such as the SIN3 complex, regulate genes involved in proliferation and metabolism. The SIN3 complex contains a histone deacetylase and a histone demethylase, which regulate the chromatin landscape and gene expression...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist exenatide (exendin-4) has potential protective capabilities against diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) is upregulated during DKD progression by histone acetylation. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a deacetylase and is decreased in DKD, which indicates that it may regulate Txnip in this disease. Here, we used whole-body heterozygous Sirt1 knockout (Sirt1+/- ) and kidney-specific Sirt1 knockout (KSK) mice to investigate whether SIRT1 regulates Txnip via histone deacetylation in DKD and exenatide-alleviated DKD...

Sirtuins are a family of NAD+ III-dependent histone deacetylases that consists of seven family members, Sirt1-Sirt7, which regulate various signalling pathways and are involved in many critical biological processes of kidney diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as an essential part of the global healthcare system, has multi-component and multi-pathway therapeutic characteristics and plays a role in preventing and controlling various diseases. Through ongoing collaboration with modern medicine, TCM has recently achieved many remarkable advancements in theoretical investigation, mechanistic research, and clinical applications related to kidney diseases...
