Systemic changes during diabetes such as high glucose, dyslipidemia, hormonal changes and low grade inflammation, are believed to induce structural and functional changes in the cardiomyocyte associated with the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. One of the hallmarks of the diabetic heart is increased oxidative stress. NADPH-oxidases (NOXs) are important ROS-producing enzymes in the cardiomyocyte mediating both adaptive and maladaptive changes in the heart. NOXs have been suggested as a therapeutic target for several diabetic complications, but their role in diabetic cardiomyopathy is far from elucidated. In this review we aim to provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the understanding of how NOXs influences cardiac adaptive and maladaptive processes in a "diabetic milieu". This article is part of a Special issue entitled Cardiac adaptations to obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, edited by Professors Jan F.C. Glatz, Jason R.B. Dyck and Christine Des Rosiers.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifaceted disorder with a pandemic spread and a remarkable burden of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DBCM) has been increasingly recognized as the development of cardiac dysfunction, which is accompanied by heart failure (HF) symptoms in the absence of obvious reasons like ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or valvulopathies. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed, including metabolic disorders (e.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy causes end-stage heart failure, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Long-term treatment targeting metabolism is an emerging field in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Semaglutide, an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor, is clinically approved for the treatment of T2DM and provides cardiac benefits in patients.

People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at a higher risk for myocardial infarction (MI) than age-matched healthy individuals. Here, we studied cell-based cardiac regeneration post MI in T2D rats modeling the co-morbid conditions in patients with MI. We recapitulated the T2D hallmarks and clinical aspects of diabetic cardiomyopathy using high-fat diet and streptozotocin in athymic rats, which were then subjected to MI and intramyocardial implantation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) with or without rat adipose-derived microvessels (MVs).

Acid sphingomyelinase downregulation alleviates diabetic myocardial fibrosis in mice.

Increased activity of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) has been linked to diabetes and organ fibrosis. Nevertheless, the precise influence of ASMase on diabetic myocardial fibrosis and the corresponding molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we aim to elucidate whether ASMase contributes to diabetic myocardial fibrosis through the phosphorylation mediated by MAPK, thereby culminating in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).
