ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Younger onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) was associated with higher risks of vascular complications and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To prospectively assess risk profiles for incident T2D stratified by age at onset. METHODS: A total of 471 269 participants free of T2D at baseline were included from the UK Biobank. Approximately 70 clinical, lipid, lipoprotein, inflammatory, and metabolic markers, and genetic risk scores (GRSs) were analyzed. Stratified Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for T2D with age of diagnosis divided into 4 groups (≤50.0, 50.1-60.0, 60.1-70.0, and >70.0 years). RESULTS: During 11 years of follow-up, 15 805 incident T2D were identified. Among clinical risk factors, obesity had the highest HR at any age, ranging from 13.16 (95% CI, 9.67-17.91) for 50.0 years and younger to 4.13 (3.78-4.51) for older than 70.0 years. Other risks associated with T2D onset at age 50.0 years and younger included dyslipidemia (3.50, 2.91-4.20), hypertension (3.21, 2.71-3.80), cardiovascular disease (2.87, 2.13-3.87), parental history of diabetes (2.42, 2.04-2.86), education lower than college (1.89, 1.57-2.27), physical inactivity (1.73, 1.43-2.10), smoking (1.38, 1.13-1.68), several lipoprotein particles, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes, fatty acids, amino acids, as well as GRS. Associations of most risk factors and biomarkers were markedly attenuated with increasing age at onset (P interaction <.05), and some were not significant for onset at age older than 70.0 years, such as smoking, systolic blood pressure, and apolipoprotein B. CONCLUSION: Most risk factors or biomarkers had stronger relative risks for T2D at younger ages, which emphasizes the necessity of promoting primary prevention among younger individuals. Moreover, obesity should be prioritized.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and mortality among patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and mortality among individuals with MAFLD/NAFLD. METHODS: The study included 4651 individuals with fatty liver disease (FLD; 3964 had MAFLD and 3968 had NAFLD) from NHANES III. Fatty liver disease was identified by ultrasonographic detection of hepatic steatosis. Mortality was ascertained by linkage to the National Death Index up to 31 December 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the HRs and 95% CIs, with adjustment of potential confounders. RESULTS: Of 4651 individuals with FLD, 3427 individuals (69.7%) had both MAFLD and NAFLD. During median follow-ups of 25.8 and 26.1 y, we identified 1809 and 1665 deaths among 3964 participants with MAFLD and 3968 participants with NAFLD, respectively. Compared with participants with serum 25(OH)D concentrations ≤30.0 nmol/L, the multivariable-adjusted HRs and 95% CIs of all-cause mortality were 0.62 (0.43, 0.89) for participants with MAFLD having serum 25(OH)D >75.0 nmol/L (P-trend = 0.001) and 0.63 (0.42, 0.95) for participants with NAFLD having serum 25(OH)D >75.0 nmol/L (P-trend = 0.002). A nonlinear inverse association was observed between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and all-cause mortality among participants with MAFLD (Poverall < 0.001; Pnonlinear = 0.003) or NAFLD (Poverall < 0.001; Pnonlinear = 0.009), with a threshold effect at ∼50.0 nmol/L. The inverse association was stronger among participants with MAFLD aged <60 y (P-interaction = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested a nonlinear inverse association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and all-cause mortality among patients with MAFLD/NAFLD, with a threshold effect at ∼50.0 nmol/L of serum 25(OH)D.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play vital roles in diabetic nephropathy (DN). The aim of this study was to explore the function of mechanism of lncRNA KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) in DN. METHODS: DN cell models were established using high glucose (HG) treatment in human glomerular mesangial cells (HGMC) and human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGEC). The expression levels of KCNQ1OT1, microRNA-93-5p (miR-93-5p), and Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. ROCK2 and apoptosis/fibrosis-related protein levels were examined by western blot. The predicted interaction between miR-93-5p and KCNQ1OT1 or ROCK2 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RESULTS: KCNQ1OT1 was upregulated in DN patients and DN cell models. KCNQ1OT1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and fibrosis and induced apoptosis in DN cell models. MiR-93-5p was a direct target of KCNQ1OT1, and miR-93-5p inhibition restored the KCNQ1OT1 knockdown-mediated effects on cell proliferation, fibrosis and apoptosis in DN cell models. In addition, ROCK2 was identified as a target of miR-93-5p, and miR-93-5p overexpression suppressed cell proliferation and fibrosis and accelerated apoptosis by targeting ROCK2 in DN cell models. Moreover, KCNQ1OT1 regulated ROCK2 expression by binding to miR-93-5p. CONCLUSION: KCNQ1OT1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and fibrosis and induced apoptosis in DN by regulating miR-93-5p/ROCK2 axis, providing potential value for the treatment of DN.

ABSTRACT

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a frequent diabetes complication, has complex pathogenesis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) circ_0000712 has been reported to be upregulated in kidney tissues and high glucose (HG)-inducted Mesangial cells (MCs). This study is designed to explore the role and mechanism of circ_0000712 in the HG-inducted MCs injury in DN. Circ_0000712, microRNA-879-5p (miR-879-5p), and SRY-Box Transcription Factor 6 (SOX6) levels were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry assay. Protein levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax), fibronectin (FN), collagen type I (Col. I), collagen type IV (Col. IV), and SOX6 were assessed by western blot assay. Levels of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity were detected by the corresponding kits. The binding relationship between miR-879-5p and circ_0000712 or SOX6 was predicted by starBase and Targetscan, and then verified by a dual-luciferase reporter and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Circ_0000712 and SOX6 were highly expressed, and miR-879-5p was decreased in db/db DN mice and HG-inducted SV40-MES13 cells. Furthermore, circ_0000712 deficiency repressed HG-caused apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in SV40-MES13 cells. Mechanically, circ_0000712 could regulate SOX6 expression by sponging miR-879-5p. Circ_0000712 knockdown could hinder HG-inducted SV40-MES13 cell injury through targeting the miR-879-5p/SOX6 axis, implying a possible circRNA-targeted therapy for DN.
