    Abstract In this minireview, we will highlight work in the last 30 years that has clearly demonstrated that the O-GlcNAc modification is nutrient-responsive and plays multiple roles in metabolic regulation of signaling and gene expression. Further, we will examine recent studies that have investigated the impact of O-GlcNAc in a variety of glucose- and insulin-responsive tissues and the roles attributed to O-GlcNAc in the induction of insulin resistance and glucose toxicity, the hallmarks of type II diabetes mellitus. We will also summarize potential causal roles for the O-GlcNAc modification in complications associated with diabetes.

    Abstract O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a single sugar modification found on many different classes of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. Addition of this modification, by the enzyme O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT), is dynamic and inducible. One major class of proteins modified by O-GlcNAc is transcription factors. O-GlcNAc regulates transcription factor properties through a variety of different mechanisms including localization, stability and transcriptional activation. Maintenance of embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency requires tight regulation of several key transcription factors, many of which are modified by O-GlcNAc. Octamer-binding protein 4 (Oct4) is one of the key transcription factors required for pluripotency of ES cells and more recently, the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The action of Oct4 is modulated by the addition of several post-translational modifications, including O-GlcNAc. Previous studies in mice found a single site of O-GlcNAc addition responsible for transcriptional regulation. This study was designed to determine if this mechanism is conserved in humans. We mapped 10 novel sites of O-GlcNAc attachment on human Oct4, and confirmed a role for OGT in transcriptional activation of Oct4 at a site distinct from that found in mouse that allows distinction between different Oct4 target promoters. Additionally, we uncovered a potential new role for OGT that does not include its catalytic function. These results confirm that human Oct4 activity is being regulated by OGT by a mechanism that is distinct from mouse Oct4.

    Abstract O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a regulatory post-translational modification of intracellular proteins. The dynamic and inducible cycling of the modification is governed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) in response to UDP-GlcNAc levels in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). Due to its reliance on glucose flux and substrate availability, a major focus in the field has been on how O-GlcNAc contributes to metabolic disease. For years this post-translational modification has been known to modify thousands of proteins implicated in various disorders, but direct functional connections have until recently remained elusive. New research is beginning to reveal the specific mechanisms through which O-GlcNAc influences cell dynamics and disease pathology including clear examples of O-GlcNAc modification at a specific site on a given protein altering its biological functions. The following review intends to focus primarily on studies in the last half decade linking O-GlcNAc modification of proteins with chromatin-directed gene regulation, developmental processes, and several metabolically related disorders including Alzheimer's, heart disease and cancer. These studies illustrate the emerging importance of this post-translational modification in biological processes and multiple pathophysiologies.

    Abstract Background: Effective delivery of inhaled drugs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depends on patients' ability to correctly use an inhalation device. Nebulized delivery may be appropriate for COPD patients who cannot coordinate breath with inhalation or generate adequate inhalational force. Until recently, long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs), used for maintenance treatment of COPD, were available for delivery only via handheld inhalers. Lonhala™ Magnair™ (glycopyrrolate inhalation solution) is a LAMA delivered via the eFlow
    Methods: GOLDEN-5, a phase 3, randomized, open-label trial, evaluated the safety and efficacy of glycopyrrolate/eFlow CS 50 μg twice daily versus tiotropium 18 μg once daily (administered via HandiHaler™) in patients with moderate-to-very severe COPD. Only patients in the glycopyrrolate/eFlow CS group completed a study-specific device use questionnaire, evaluating patients' perceptions about ease of use, confidence in drug delivery, and overall device satisfaction at week 48 or end of study. Responses were summarized by counts and percentages.
    Results: Of 620 patients who received glycopyrrolate/eFlow CS, 454 completed the questionnaire (mean age [standard deviation, SD] 63.3 [8.5] years; mean BMI [SD] 28.45 [6.208] kg/m
    Conclusions: High levels of satisfaction, confidence, and ease of use were reported with the eFlow CS nebulizer in this study. These findings support the use of the eFlow CS for maintenance treatment of COPD with glycopyrrolate inhalation solution.
