Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious and major renal complications of diabetes. Previously, Six-transmembrane Protein of Prostate 2 (STAMP2) was reported to contribute to nutritional stress. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether overexpression of STAMP2 attenuates diabetic renal injuries in DN rats. We induced the DN rat model by high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin and evaluated the metabolite and urine albumin/creatinine. Recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors were injected for overexpression of STAMP2. Pathophysiologic and ultrastructure features of DN by histochemical stain and transmission electron microscope, autophagy-related proteins and signaling pathway by western blotting were assessed. We found the expression of STAMP2 was decreased and autophagy was blunted in DN rat kidneys. Overexpressing STAMP2 significantly ameliorated metabolic disturbance, insulin resistance, and specifically restoring diabetic renal injury. Furthermore, overexpressing STAMP2 improved the autophagy deficiency in DN rats, as revealed by changes in the expressions of Beclin1, p62, and LC3. Furthermore, STAMP2 overexpressing promoted autophagy by inhibiting the mTOR and activating the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway. Our results suggested that STAMP2 overexpression attenuated renal injuries via upregulating autophagy in DN rats. STAMP2 overexpressing promoted autophagy may been involved with inhibition of the mTOR/ULK1 and activation of the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway.

Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of death in sepsis patients. The Six-transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) is a key regulator of inflammation, while its role in septic ALI remains unclear.
Material And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to cecal ligation puncture (CLP) to induce experimental sepsis whereas lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.

Background: Previous studies have reported that six transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) attenuates metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance in diabetes mellitus. However, the role of STAMP2 in the diabetic heart is still unclear.
Methods: A diabetic rat cardiomyopathy model was established via intraperitoneal STZ injection.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been associated with neurotoxicity, hepatoxicity, oncogenicity, and endocrine-disrupting effects. Although the recent studies have demonstrated that PCB exposure leads to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the underlying mechanism has remained unsolved. In this study, we examined the hepatic effects of a PCB mixture, Aroclor 1260, whose composition mimics human bioaccumulation patterns, and PCB 126 in C57BL/6 mice.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether overexpression of STAMP2 improves insulin resistance by regulating angiogenesis in adipose tissues. The characteristics of diabetic mice were measured by serial metabolite and pathology tests. Samples were obtained from epididymal, subcutaneous and brown adipose tissues.
