Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. It is also known to be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism and is responsible for activating the Phosphoinotide-3-Kinase (PI3K)/Protein Kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway.

Glycophagy is the autophagy degradation of glycogen. However, the regulatory mechanisms for glycophagy and glucose metabolism remain unexplored. Herein, we demonstrated that high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) and high glucose (HG) incubation induced glycogen accumulation, protein kinase B (AKT)1 expression and AKT1-dependent phosphorylation of forkhead transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) at Ser238 in the liver tissues and hepatocytes.

In the normal heart, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) maintain extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, whereas in pathological conditions, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), CFs converse into cardiac myofibroblasts (CMFs) and this CFs phenoconversion increase the synthesis and secretion of ECM proteins, promoting cardiac fibrosis and heart dysfunction. High glucose (HG) conditions increase TGF-β1 expression and FoxO1 activity, whereas FoxO1 is crucial to CFs phenoconversion induced by TGF-β1. In addition, FoxO1 increases CTGF expression, whereas CTGF plays an active role in the fibrotic process induced by hyperglycemia.

Oxidative stress constitutes a major cause for increased risk of congenital malformations associated to severe hyperglycaemia during pregnancy. Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor ALX3 cause congenital craniofacial and neural tube defects. Since oxidative stress and lack of ALX3 favour excessive embryonic apoptosis, we investigated whether ALX3-deficiency further increases the risk of embryonic damage during gestational hyperglycaemia in mice.

The failure of pancreatic islet β-cells is a major contributor to the etiology of type 2 diabetes. β-Cell dysfunction and declining β-cell mass are two mechanisms that contribute to this failure, although it is unclear whether they are molecularly linked. Here, we show that the cell cycle regulator, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), couples primary β-cell dysfunction to the progressive deterioration of β-cell mass in diabetes.
