Ziyadeh FN. Mediators of diabetic renal disease: the case for TGF-β as the major mediator. J Am Soc Nephrol 15, Suppl 1: S55–S57, 2004. doi: 10.1097/01.ASN.0000093460.24823.5B. In eukaryotic cells, histone acetylation is one of the most common posttranslational modifications of histones and serves as a key modulator for chromatin remodeling and gene transcription ( 9, 20, 32). Histone acetylation is dynamically regulated by the antagonistic actions of histone acetyl-transferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). As an important regulatory code for gene transcription, histone acetylation status provides a mechanism to couple extracellular signals, such as extracellular glucose with the genome ( 5). In mammalian cells, a link between glucose metabolism and histone acetylation is acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), which is the required substrate for histone acetylation. ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate from citrate at the expense of ATP ( 4), and acetyl-CoA can be used for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, as well as for protein acetylation. In fact, ACL has been shown to promote acetylation of histones, but not nonhistone proteins in a number of cell types ( 37). Citrate generated in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle can cross the mitochondrial and nuclear membranes, providing the substrate for ACL to produce acetyl-CoA in cytosolic and nuclear compartments.

It has also been reported that GAS5 can regulate the inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in some diseases. For instance, Wang et al Citation16 indicated that GAS5 interference weakened the apoptosis and inflammatory injury in the mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Chen et al Citation17 found that silencing of GAS5 promoted cell viability, cell cycle and oxidative stress in malignant melanoma (MM) cells. In addition, GAS5 interference increased inflammation and reduced pyroptosis, thereby promoting the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and reducing apoptosis. Citation13 Therefore, the expression of GAS5 was various in different diseases, and changing the expression of GAS5 could alleviate or deteriorate the progression of diseases. The present study indicated that GAS5 overexpression could alleviate the inflammation, oxidative stress and pyroptosis of HG-induced HK-2 cells. et al.

Switching from HG to GD

Another experiment was that hRECs were cultured in EBM-2 medium with 5 mM glucose (NG) or 25 mM glucose (HG) at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 after inoculation. After the cells adhered to the wall, the different concentrations of celastrol or dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG, 1 mmol/L) were added to the HG-induced cells which were incubated for 24 h. DMOG was regarded as a HIF1α agonist [ 33]. et al. Microarray analysis reveals long non-coding RNA SOX2OT as a novel candidate regulator in diabetic nephropathy.

Here, the γ-H2AX foci readouts obtained by flow cytometry were confirmed by the γ-H2AX foci readouts collected by the fluorescence microscopy method as described before [ 6]. Determination of living cell numbers After indicated treatment, total RNA in cells at logarithmic growth was extracted with Trizol reagent. After the purity and concentration of RNA were detected, the RNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA using the PrimeScript™ RT Master Mix (Takara). qPCR was subsequently performed according to the instructions of the One Step TB Green ® PrimeScript™ RT-PCR Kit (Takara). The following primer sequences were used for the qPCR: HIF-1α forward, 5'-TGAAGTGTACCCTACCCTAACTAGCCG-3' and reverse, 5'-AATCAGCACCAAGCAGGTCATAG-3'; VEGF forward, 5'-GTCACTATG CAGATCATGCGGA-3' and reverse, 5'-GTCACTATGCAGATCATGCGGA-3'; GAPDH forward, 5'-AAGAGGGATGCTGCCCTTAC-3' and reverse, 5'-TACGGCCAAATCCGTTCACA-3'. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF was analyzed by 2 −∆∆Ct method normalized to endogenous control of GAPDH [ 34]. Western blot analysis Next, we compared the ability of cells to repair radiation-indued DSBs upon CTPI2 or octyl-D-2-HG treatment by quantifying radiation-induced γ-H2AX foci using flow cytometry [ 28]. Again, treatment with CTPI2 or octyl-D-2-HG in combination with irradiation with a single dose of 5 Gy led to an increase in the number of γ-H2AX compared to irradiation alone. However, in line with the data obtained by the alkaline Comet assay (Fig. 3b), the effects of octyl-D-2-HG treatment on the number of γH2AX foci determined 6 h after irradiation with a single dose of 5 Gy, which was lower compared to CTPI2-treatment (Figs. 3d, S2m). Nevertheless, CTPI2- and octyl-D-2-HG-treatment maintained irradiation-induced DNA damage state at a higher level, supporting an inhibitory effect of both treatments on DNA repair.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone metabolic disease, in which low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue contribute to the fragility of bones and increase the risk of fracture ( 1, 2). Estrogen withdrawal and androgen deficiency are considered to be the two major causes of disease occurrence ( 3). Aging and changes in lifestyle factors have been discovered to be responsible for the increasingly high prevalence of OP ( 4). Since it constitutes a major challenge to the health and welfare of elderly individuals, OP has received considerable research attention in developed countries ( 5). However, little is known regarding the pathogenesis of OP, rendering treatment challenging. As osteoblast differentiation is indispensable for bone regeneration, clarifying the mechanism of osteoblast differentiation is critical to the formulation of therapeutic strategies for OP ( 6). Increasing evidence has suggested that diabetes may affect bone formation, bone remodeling and wound healing ( 7, 8). High glucose (HG) levels are one of the possible causes for OP and fracture in diabetes mellitus ( 9). Experiments in vivo and in vitro have shown that extracellular HG contributed to bone loss and deleterious effects on osteoblast proliferation and function ( 10, 11).Hyperglycemia is a major pathogenic factor to induce glomerulosclerosis in diabetes. The mechanism whereby hyperglycemia causes tissue injury remains incompletely understood. For cells (such as mesangial cells) that are unable to downregulate their glucose transporters in the setting of extracellular hyperglycemia, glucose influx is expected to increase intracellular glucose concentration. It is long held that such intracellular hyperglycemia induces overproduction of superoxide by the mitochondrial electron-transport chain, which, through inhibition of GAPDH, diverts glycolysis to the polyol and hexosamine pathways and promotes the activation of PKC and formation of advanced glycosylation end products ( 3). These mechanisms are believed to ultimately lead to upregulation of profibrotic factors (such as TGF-β) and increased oxidative stress that drive diabetic nephropathy ( 29).

NAD +, NADP +, NADH, and NADPH levels, as well as NAD+/NADH and NADP +/NADPH ratios were examined using the NAD/NADH-Glo™ or NADP/NADPH-Glo™ Assays kit (Promega, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, 10.000 cells were plated in a 96 well plate 24 h before treatment. Cells were lysed followed by measuring NAD(P) + or NAD(P)H luminescence signal separately by using BioTek Synergy H1 plate reader (Biotek, USA). The ratio of NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH were calculated based on the instruction of the kits. Assessment of mitochondrial function (Seahorse technology) Schmittgen TD, Livak KJ.
