To determine the changes of the glucose-induced renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in chronic renal disease, a standard oral glucose loading test (75g) was performed in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) (n = 12) and compared with control subjects (10). Glucose loading resulted in a significant decrease of serum aldosterone as well as increases of blood glucose and insulin similarly in both CGN and C. However, the suppression of aldosterone was statistically milder in CGN than in C (p < 0.05). In contrast, significant elevations of plasma renin activity were observed in CGN at 60 and 120 min, but not in C after glucose loading. Urinary sodium excretion after glucose ingestion was lower in CGN than in C. These data demonstrated that the glucose-induced renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in patients with chronic renal disease differed from that in healthy subjects.

Inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1β), primarily derived from hepatic macrophages in the liver, play a crucial role in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Meanwhile, intravenously injected exosomes are mainly distributed in the liver and predominantly taken up by hepatic macrophage. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of targeted inhibition of TNF and IL1β expression in hepatic macrophages via exosomes as a potential therapeutic strategy for NASH.

The hypoxia microenvironment post-myocardial infarction (MI) critically disturbs cellular metabolism and inflammation response, leading to scarce bioenergy supplying, prolonged inflammatory phase and high risk of cardiac fibrosis during cardiac restoration. Herein, an injectable hydrogel is prepared by Schiff base reaction between fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP)-grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (CF) and oxidized dextran (OD), followed by loading fucoidan-coated baicalin (BA)-encapsulated zein nanoparticles (BFZ NPs), in which immunoregulatory and metabolism improving functions are integrally included. The grafted FBP serves to enhance glycolysis and provide more bioenergy for cardiomyocytes survival under hypoxia microenvironment, and elevating cellular antioxidant capacity pentose phosphate pathway.

In this chapter, we present a detailed protocol for establishing a three-dimensional (3D) multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTSs) model to simulate the tumor microenvironment (ME) associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) for the study of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) cell aggressiveness, growth, and metastasis potential. The MASLD microenvironment (MASLD-ME) is recreated by embedding hepatic stellate cells in a collagen I matrix within a Boyden chamber system. The metabolic medium mimics MASLD conditions, enriched with high glucose, fructose, insulin, and fatty acids, to simulate metabolic stresses associated with the disease.

Craniofacial bone defect healing in periodontitis patients with diabetes background has long been difficult due to increased blood glucose levels which cause overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a low pH environment. These conditions negatively affect the function of macrophages, worsen inflammation and oxidative stress, and ultimately, hinder osteoblasts' bone repair potential. In this study, we for the first time found that ANXA1 expression in macrophages was reduced in a diabetic periodontitis environment, with the activation of the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway, and, eventually, increased macrophage pyroptosis.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) induced mitochondrial oxidative stress (OS) can lead to severe injury of dental pulp. The cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP) have been proven to have excellent antioxidative activity. However, whether CNP can relieve dental pulp damage caused by DM and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
