Hyaluronic Acid as a LYVE-1 Receptor Ligand in the Lymphatic System of Healthy Human Skin.

Immunohistochemical detection of the LYVE-1 marker in healthy human full-thickness skin (the epidermis and the dermis) was carried out. LYVE-1 expression was found in the endothelium of lymphatic capillaries located in the papillary dermis, in the endothelium of larger lymphatic vessels of the reticular dermis, and in fibroblasts, which indicates their joint participation in hyaluronan metabolism. LYVE-1 staining detected for the first time in cells of the stratum basale, the stratum spinosum, and the stratum granulosum of healthy human epidermis indicates their participation in hyaluronan metabolism and allows us to consider the spaces between epidermis cells as prelimphatics.

Semaglutide 6-months therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus restores adipose progenitors potential to develop metabolically active adipocytes.

Background: Nowadays type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to population mortality growth. Today glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are one of the most promising glucose-lowered drugs with anorexigenic and cardioprotective effects. The present study aims to determine the effects of GLP-1 RA semaglutide 6-month therapy on T2DM patient metabolic parameters and adipose progenitor cell health.

IL-4 activates the futile triacylglyceride cycle for glucose utilization in white adipocytes.

The development of cardiometabolic complications during obesity is strongly associated with chronic latent inflammation in hypertrophied adipose tissue (AT). IL-4 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, playing a protective role against insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and weight gain. The positive effects of IL-4 are associated not only with the activation of anti-inflammatory immune cells in AT, but also with the modulation of adipocyte metabolism.

Effect of Melatonin on the Content of CD3 and CD3 T Cells in the Thymus of Mice with Functional Pinealectomy.

Continuous lighting for 14 days (functional pinealectomy model) leads to a decrease in the relative number of CD3 and CD3 T lymphocytes and the CD3/CD3 ratio in the thymus of C57BL/6 mice. Intragastric administration of melatonin in physiological doses (1 mg/kg body weight, 14 days) against the background of functional pinealectomy restores the percentage of CD3 and CD3 thymocytes and CD3/CD3 ratio to the control values. Hence, prolonged continuous illumination inhibits the differentiation and maturation of young thymocytes into mature forms, while melatonin treatment helps to compensate the effects of functional pinealectomy triggering cell proliferation in the thymus from the earliest stages of proliferation and differentiation of T cells.

Visceral mesenchymal stem cells from type 2 diabetes donors activate triglycerides synthesis in healthy adipocytes via metabolites exchange and cytokines secretion.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Development of visceral instead of subcutaneous adipose tissue is pathogenic and increases the risk of metabolic abnormalities. We hypothesize that visceral adipocytes and stromal cells are able to deteriorate other fat depots metabolism via secretory mechanisms.
