A total of 138 middle and aged cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) (above 10 years) were classified into three groups based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) values, specifically low FPG, normal FPG, and high FPG group. Total cholesterol (TCHO), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected in blood by automatic biochemical analyzer. The mRNA expressions of 37 diabetes-associated genes were analyzed with Real-time PCR in monocytes isolated from monkey peripheral blood. No significant correlation between the four serum lipid indictors HDL-C, LDL-C, TCHO, TG and FPG (P>0.05) were found. However, the expressions of ACE, ACLY, PRKCB1, SLC2A4, SNAP23, VAPA, IGF2BP2, and IFNG were significantly enhanced when FPG increased (P<0.05).

Objectives: To explore the effect and the probable mechanisms of JLD in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) - associated cognitive impairment (TDACI).

Methods: The effect of JLD in combating TDACI was assessed in T2DM model mice by conducting Morris water maze (MWM) behaviour testing. Active components and their putative targets, as well as TDACI-related targets, were collected from public databases.

Aims: Diabetes associated cognitive decline (DACD) is a common CNS-related consequence of diabetes. The primary clinical manifestation of DACD includes learning and memory impairment. Unfortunately, there is no cure to delay the cognitive symptoms of diabetes.

Objectives: To provide a basis for further research on the molecular mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes-associated mild cognitive impairment (DCI) using two bioinformatics methods to screen key genes involved in the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: RNA sequencing data of MCI and normal cognition groups, as well as expression profile and sample information data of clinical characteristic data of GSE63060, which contains 160 MCI samples and 104 normal samples, were downloaded from the GEO database. Hub genes were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

Introduction: Fetal development is dependent on placenta and affected by multiple factors including maternal diabetes. Here we aimed to identify maternal diabetes-associated changes in placentas and analyzed placental gene expression to understand its modulation by maternal diabetes and birth mode.

Methods: Placental RNAseq transcriptome analyses were performed on maternally-derived decidua and fetal-derived villous tissue from pregnancies of mothers with type 1 diabetes (n = 14), gestational diabetes (n = 6) and without diabetes (n = 14).

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the role of microRNA (miR)-210 in endothelial cells and its potential therapeutic effects on diabetes-related endothelial dysfunction.* -
  • Using various mouse models and human endothelial cells, researchers discovered that lower levels of miR-210 in diabetic conditions impair endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR), but restoring its levels helps improve vascular function.* -
  • The findings suggest miR-210 could be a new target for treatment in type 2 diabetes by mitigating oxidative stress and enhancing nitric oxide production in endothelial cells.*
