    Postmortem Brains from Subjects with Diabetes Mellitus Display Reduced GLUT4 Expression and Soma Area in Hippocampal Neurons: Potential Involvement of Inflammation
    (2023) YONAMINE, Caio Yogi; PASSARELLI, Marisa; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos Augusto; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; MARIE, Suely Kazue Nagahashi; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia; BRITTO, Luiz Roberto; MACHADO, Ubiratan Fabres
    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor for dementia, which is a common neurodegenerative disorder. DM is known to activate inflammation, oxidative stress, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) generation, all capable of inducing neuronal dysfunctions, thus participating in the neurodegeneration progress. In that process, disturbed neuronal glucose supply plays a key role, which in hippocampal neurons is controlled by the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). We investigated the expression of GLUT4, nuclear factor NF-kappa B subunit p65 [NFKB (p65)], carboxymethyllysine and synapsin1 (immunohistochemistry), and soma area in human postmortem hippocampal samples from control, obese, and obese+DM subjects (41 subjects). Moreover, in human SH-SY5Y neurons, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and glycated albumin (GA) effects were investigated in GLUT4, synapsin-1 (SYN1), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), synaptophysin (SYP) proteins, and respective genes; NFKB binding activity in the SLC2A4 promoter; effects of increased histone acetylation grade by histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibition. Hippocampal neurons (CA4 area) of obese+DM subjects displayed reduced GLUT4 expression and neuronal soma area, associated with increased expression of NFKB (p65). Challenges with TNF and GA decreased the SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression in SH-SY5Y neurons. TNF decreased SYN1, TH, and SYP mRNAs and respective proteins, and increased NFKB binding activity in the SLC2A4 promoter. Inhibition of HDAC3 increased the SLC2A4 expression and the total neuronal content of CRE-binding proteins (CREB/ICER), and also counterbalanced the repressor effect of TNF upon these parameters. This study revealed reduced postmortem human hippocampal GLUT4 content and neuronal soma area accompanied by increased proinflammatory activity in the brains of DM subjects. In isolated human neurons, inflammatory activation by TNF reduced not only the SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression but also the expression of some genes related to neuronal function (SYN1, TH, SYP). These effects may be related to epigenetic regulations (H3Kac and H4Kac status) since they can be counterbalanced by inhibiting HDAC3. These results uncover the improvement in GLUT4 expression and/or the inhibition of HDAC3 as promising therapeutic targets to fight DM-related neurodegeneration.

    Urinary Sediment Transcriptomic and Longitudinal Data to Investigate Renal Function Decline in Type 1 Diabetes
    (2020) MONTEIRO, Maria Beatriz; PELAES, Tatiana S.; SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele P.; THIEME, Karina; LERARIO, Antonio M.; OBA-SHINJO, Sueli M.; MACHADO, Ubiratan F.; PASSARELLI, Marisa; MARIE, Suely K. N.; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    Introduction: Using a discovery/validation approach we investigated associations between a panel of genes selected from a transcriptomic study and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline across time in a cohort of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. Experimental: Urinary sediment transcriptomic was performed to select highly modulated genes in T1D patients with rapid eGFR decline (decliners) vs. patients with stable eGFR (non-decliners). The selected genes were validated in samples from a T1D cohort (n = 54, mean diabetes duration of 21 years, 61% women) followed longitudinally for a median of 12 years in a Diabetes Outpatient Clinic. Results: In the discovery phase, the transcriptomic study revealed 158 genes significantly different between decliners and non-decliners. Ten genes increasingly up or down-regulated according to renal function worsening were selected for validation by qRT-PCR; the genes CYP4F22, and PMP22 were confirmed as differentially expressed comparing decliners vs. non-decliners after adjustment for potential confounders. CYP4F22, LYPD3, PMP22, MAP1LC3C, HS3ST2, GPNMB, CDH6, and PKD2L1 significantly modified the slope of eGFR in T1D patients across time. Conclusions: Eight genes identified as differentially expressed in the urinary sediment of T1D patients presenting different eGFR decline rates significantly increased the accuracy of predicted renal function across time in the studied cohort. These genes may be a promising way of unveiling novel mechanisms associated with diabetic kidney disease progression.

    Leukotriene Pathway Activation Associates with Poor Glycemic Control and with Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetes
    (2020) SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele P.; FILGUEIRAS, Luciano R.; MONTEIRO, Maria Beatriz; ADMONI, Sharon N.; V, Ricardo Perez; CAVALEIRO, Ana M.; MACHADO, Cleide G.; MACHADO, Ubiratan F.; PASSARELLI, Marisa; JANCAR, Sonia; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    Background and Aims. Since hyperglycemia promotes inflammation by different pathways and inflammation participates in the development of chronic diabetes complications, we investigated the association between the leukotriene (LT) pathway and microvascular diabetes complications. Methods and Results. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was employed to quantify the expression of ALOX5 (encodes 5-lipoxygenase), LTB4R (encodes one of the LTB4 receptors), and MYD88 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 164 type 1 diabetes (T1D) individuals presenting or not diabetes kidney disease, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN); 26 nondiabetic subjects were included as controls. LTB4 plasmatic concentrations were also evaluated. The expression of LTB4R was significantly higher in T1D individuals than in controls. T1D individuals with microvascular complications presented lower MYD88 mRNA expression when compared to those without microvascular complications. Higher LTB4 concentrations were found in individuals with CAN versus without CAN. The observation of two distinct subgroups of T1D individuals in the correlation analyses motivated us to evaluate the characteristics of each one of these groups separately. The group presenting higher expression of ALOX5 and of LTB4R also presented higher values of HbA(1)C, of fructosamine, and of plasmatic LTB4. Conclusion. In the diabetes setting, the LT pathway is not only activated by hyperglycemia but is also modulated by the status of the autonomic nervous system.

    Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) expression in the urinary sediment correlates with clinical markers of kidney disease in patients with type 1 diabetes
    (2016) MONTEIRO, Maria Beatriz; THIEME, Karina; SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele Pereira; QUEIROZ, Marcia Silva; WORONIK, Viktoria; PASSARELLI, Marisa; MACHADO, Ubiratan Fabres; GIANNELLA-NETO, Daniel; OLIVEIRA-SOUZA, Maria; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    Purpose. After observing variation in the expression of the housekeeping gene B2M in cells of the urinary sediment during a study of candidate genes potentially involved in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), we hypothesized that B2M mRNA expression in the urinary sediment could reflect the presence of DKD. Methods. qPCR was used to quantify B2M mRNA expression in cells of the urinary sediment of 51 type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients (61% women, 33.5 [27.0-39.7] years old, with diabetes duration of 21.0 [15.0-28.0] years and HbA1c of 8.2% [7.3-8.9]; median [interquartile interval]) sorted according to the diabetic nephropathy (DN) stages; 8 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patients and 10 healthy controls. B2M mRNA expression was also evaluated in human embryonic kidney epithelium-like (HEK-293) cells exposed to 25 mM glucose and to albumin in order to mimic, respectively, a diabetic and a proteinuric milieu. Results. No differences were found in B2M mRNA expression among healthy controls, FSGS and T1D patients. Nonetheless B2M mRNA expression was higher in the group composed by T1D patients with incipient or overt DN combined with FSGS patients versus T1D patients without DN combined with healthy controls (P = 0.0007). B2M mRNA expression was higher in T1D patients with incipient or overt DN versus without DN (P = 0.03). B2M mRNA expression positively correlated with albuminuria in the overall T1D population (r = 0.43; P = 0.01) and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate in male T1D patients (r = - 0.57; P = 0.01). Increased B2M expression was observed in HEK-293 cells exposed to 25 mM glucose and to albumin. Conclusions. B2M mRNA expression in cells of the urinary sediment is higher in T1D patients with DKD and in patients with FSGS in comparison to healthy subjects, maybe reflecting a tubulointerstitial injury promoted by albumin. Given the proinflammatory nature of B2M, we suggest that this protein contributes to diabetic (and possibly, to non-diabetic) tubulopathy.

    Proteomics of high-density lipoprotein subfractions and subclinical atherosclerosis in type 1 diabetes mellitus: a case-control study
    (2023) TOYOSHIMA, Marcos Tadashi K.; SANTANA, Monique F. M.; SILVA, Amanda R. M.; MELLO, Gabriela B. B.; SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele P. P.; GOES, Marisa F. S.; BOSCO, Adriana A. A.; CARAMELLI, Bruno; RONSEIN, Graziella E. E.; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia; PASSARELLI, Marisa
    BackgroundSubclinical atherosclerosis is frequently observed in type 1 diabetes (T1D) although the mechanisms and markers involved in the evolution to established cardiovascular disease are not well known. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol in T1D is normal or even high, and changes in its functionality and proteomics are considered. Our aim was to evaluate the proteomics of HDL subfractions in T1D and control subjects and its association with clinical variables, subclinical atherosclerosis markers and HDL functionality.MethodsA total of 50 individuals with T1D and 30 matched controls were included. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and ten-year cardiovascular risk (ASCVDR) were determined. Proteomics (parallel reaction monitoring) was determined in isolated HDL2 and HDL3 that were also utilized to measure cholesterol efflux from macrophages.ResultsAmong 45 quantified proteins, 13 in HDL2 and 33 in HDL3 were differentially expressed in T1D and control subjects. Six proteins related to lipid metabolism, one to inflammatory acute phase, one to complement system and one to antioxidant response were more abundant in HDL2, while 14 lipid metabolism, three acute-phase, three antioxidants and one transport in HDL3 of T1D subjects. Three proteins (lipid metabolism, transport, and unknown function) were more abundant in HDL2; and ten (lipid metabolism, transport, protease inhibition), more abundant in HDL3 of controls. Individuals with T1D had higher PWV and ten-year ASCVDR, and lower FMD, Cholesterol efflux from macrophages was similar between T1D and controls. Proteins in HDL2 and HDL3, especially related to lipid metabolism, correlated with PWV, CAN, cholesterol efflux, HDLc, hypertension, glycemic control, ten-year ASCVDR, and statins use.ConclusionHDL proteomics can be predictive of subclinical atherosclerosis in type 1 diabetes. Proteins that are not involved in reverse cholesterol transport may be associated with the protective role of HDL.

    The Prolonged Activation of the p65 Subunit of the NF-Kappa-B Nuclear Factor Sustains the Persistent Effect of Advanced Glycation End Products on Inflammatory Sensitization in Macrophages
    (2024) ASSIS, Sayonara Ivana Santos de; AMENDOLA, Leonardo Szalo; OKAMOTO, Maristela Mitiko; FERREIRA, Guilherme da Silva; IBORRA, Rodrigo Tallada; SANTOS, Danielle Ribeiro; SANTANA, Monique de Fatima Mello; SANTANA, Kelly Gomes; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia; BARBEIRO, Denise Frediani; SORIANO, Francisco Garcia; MACHADO, Ubiratan Fabres; PASSARELLI, Marisa
    Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) prime macrophages for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. We investigated the persistence of cellular AGE-sensitization to LPS, considering the nuclear content of p50 and p65 nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB) subunits and the expression of inflammatory genes. Macrophages treated with control (C) or AGE-albumin were rested for varying intervals in medium alone before being incubated with LPS. Comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA or Student t-test (n = 6). AGE-albumin primed macrophages for increased responsiveness to LPS, resulting in elevated levels of TNF, IL-6, and IL-1beta (1.5%, 9.4%, and 5.6%, respectively), compared to C-albumin. TNF, IL-6, and IL-1 beta secretion persisted for up to 24 h even after the removal of AGE-albumin (area under the curve greater by 1.6, 16, and 5.2 times, respectively). The expressions of Il6 and RelA were higher 8 h after albumin removal, and Il6 and Abca1 were higher 24 h after albumin removal. The nuclear content of p50 remained similar, but p65 showed a sustained increase (2.9 times) for up to 24 h in AGE-albumin-treated cells. The prolonged activation of the p65 subunit of NFKB contributes to the persistent effect of AGEs on macrophage inflammatory priming, which could be targeted for therapies to prevent complications based on the AGE-RAGE-NFKB axis.

    Serum albumin modified by carbamoylation impairs macrophage cholesterol efflux in diabetic kidney disease
    (2021) LIRA, Aecio Lopes de Araujo; SANTANA, Monique de Fatima Mello; PINTO, Raphael de Souza; MINANNI, Carlos Andre; IBORRA, Rodrigo Tallada; LIMA, Adriana Machado Saldiba de; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia; PASSARELLI, Marisa; QUEIROZ, Marcia Silva
    Background and aims: Abnormalities in lipid metabolism, accumulation of uremic toxins and advanced glycation end products may contribute to worsening atherosclerosis. This study characterized the glycation and carbamoylation profile of serum albumin isolated from individuals with diabetic kidney disease and its influence on cholesterol efflux. Material and methods: 49 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and different eGFR evaluated glycation and carbamoylation profile by measurement of carboxymethyl lysine (CML) and carbamoylated proteins (CBL) in plasma by ELISA, homocitrulline (HCit) in plasma by colorimetry. In the isolated albumins, we quantified CBL (ELISA) and total AGE and pentosidine by fluorescence. Macrophages were treated with albumin isolated, and 14C-Cholesterol efflux mediated by HDL2 or HDL3 was measured. Kruskal-Wallis test, Jonckheere-Terpstra test and Brunner's posttest were used for comparisons among groups. Results: Determination of CML, HCit, CBL in plasma, as total AGE and pentosidine in albumins, did not differ between groups; however, CBL in the isolated albumins was higher in the more advanced stages of CKD (p = 0.0414). There was reduction in the 14C-cholesterol efflux after treatment for 18 h with albumin isolated from patients with eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2 compared with control group mediated by HDL2 (p = 0.0288) and HDL3 (p < 0.0001), as well as when compared with eGFR >= 60 mL/min/1.73m2 per HDL2 (p = 0.0001) and HDL3 (p < 0.0001). Treatment for 48 h showed that eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73m2 had a lower percentage of 14Ccholesterol efflux mediated by HDL2 compared to control and other CKD groups (p = 0.0274). Conclusions: Albumins isolated from individuals with T2DM and eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2 suffer greater carbamoylation, and they impair the cholesterol efflux mediated by HDL2 and HDL3. In turn, this could promote lipids accumulation in macrophages and disorders in reverse cholesterol transport.

    Optimization of total RNA isolation from human urinary sediment
    (2016) MONTEIRO, Maria Beatriz; SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele Pereira; THIEME, Karina; PASSARELLI, Marisa; MACHADO, Ubiratan Fabres; LIN, Chin Jia; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    Extracting RNA from human urinary sediment is notoriously challenging because of cell paucity and hostile environment and column-based commercial kits using silica technology are commonly used. Nonetheless, in our experience, this methodology yields low amounts of total RNA and has low rates of success. We replaced the column-based commercial kit by a protocol using guanidine isothiocyanate-phenol-chloroform buffer (Trizol reagent) followed by addition of glycogen as a carrier and precipitation with isopropanol plus sodium acetate. This methodology was more affordable and efficient for urinary sediment total RNA isolation than silica technology, resulting in higher concentrations of total RNA of better quality.

    Hormetic modulation of hepatic insulin sensitivity by advanced glycation end products
    (2017) FABRE, Nelly T.; THIEME, Karina; SILVA, Karolline S.; CATANOZI, Sergio; CAVALEIRO, Ana Mercedes; PINTO JR., Danilo A. C.; OKAMOTO, Maristela M.; MORAIS, Mychel Raony P. T.; FALQUETTO, Barbara; ZORN, Telma M.; MACHADO, Ubiratan E.; PASSARELLI, Marisa; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    Because of the paucity of information regarding metabolic effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on liver, we evaluated effects of AGEs chronic administration in (1) insulin sensitivity; (2) hepatic expression of genes involved in AGEs, glucose and fat metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammation and; (3) hepatic morphology and glycogen content. Rats received intraperitoneally albumin modified (AIbAGE) or not by advanced glycation for 12 weeks. AIbAGE induced whole-body insulin resistance concomitantly with increased hepatic insulin sensitivity, evidenced by activation of AKT, inactivation of GSK3, increased hepatic glycogen content, and decreased expression of gluconeogenesis genes. Additionally there was reduction in hepatic fat content, in expression of lipogenic, pro-inflamatory and pro oxidative genes and increase in reactive oxygen species and in nuclear expression of NRF2, a transcription factor essential to cytoprotective response. Although considered toxic, AGEs become protective when administered chronically, stimulating AKT signaling, which is involved in cellular defense and insulin sensitivity.

    Distal Symmetric and Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathies in Brazilian Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Followed in a Primary Health Care Unit: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (2020) MATOS, Mozania Reis de; SANTOS-BEZERRA, Daniele Pereira; CAVALCANTE, Cristiane das Gracas Dias; CARVALHO, Jacira Xavier de; LEITE, Juliana; NEVES, Jose Antonio Januario; ADMONI, Sharon Nina; PASSARELLI, Marisa; PARISI, Maria Candida; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia
    The paucity of epidemiological data regarding diabetes complications in Brazil motivated us to evaluate the prevalence rates of distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) and of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) followed in a primary care unit. A total of 551 individuals (59.3% women, 65 years old; diabetes duration of 10 years; HbA1c of 7.2%, medians) were included in this cross-sectional study. DSP was diagnosed by sum of the Neuropathy Symptoms Score (NSS) and Modified Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) and by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament. CAN was diagnosed by cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests combined with spectral analysis of heart rate variability. The prevalence rates of DSP were 6.3% and 14.3%, as evaluated by the sum of NSS and NDS and by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, respectively. Those with DSP diagnosed by monofilament presented longer diabetes duration, worse glycemic control and a higher stature. The prevalence rates of incipient and definitive CAN were 12.5% and 10%, respectively. Individuals with definitive CAN presented a higher frequency of hypercholesterolemia and of arterial hypertension. The higher prevalence rate of DSP with the use of the monofilament suggests that it may be a more appropriate tool to diagnose DSP in the primary care setting in Brazil.
