    Abstract Proposed mechanisms by which disruption of endogenous dsRNA editing in β-cells leads to type 1 diabetes-like phenotypes in βAdarKO mice. Disruption of endogenous dsRNA editing in β-cells initiates IFN responses, thereby inducing pancreatic islet inflammation and β-cell dysfunction. Hyperglycemia induced by β-cell dysfunction further promotes islet inflammation, likely via increased dsRNA resulting from increased β-cell workload, thereby producing a vicious cycle. The mechanism by which impairment of dsRNA editing is integrated with autoimmune-mediated pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes remains to be clarified.

    Abstract Pathologically, type 2 diabetes mellitus develops on the basis of insufficient insulin action. Insulin action insufficiency results from impaired insulin secretion and/or insulin resistance, i.e., the failure of insulin to exert sufficient effects. Impairment of insulin secretion is attributable to an insufficient pancreatic β cell mass and/or pancreatic β cell dysfunction, features collectively referred to as β cell failure. As β cell failure plays a critical role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes, strategies aimed at reversing β cell failure or preserving β cells before failure becomes evident are urgently needed. However, difficulties in conducting experiments on pancreatic β cells in vivo, especially in humans, are a major challenge impeding the development of such eagerly-awaited therapeutic options. In a recent Journal of Clinical Investigation article, Son et al. described their efforts to identify an alteration in regulatory protein activity in human β cells, which is elicited in the state of type 2 diabetes, and explored therapeutic options for preventing β cell failure.

    Abstract In insulin-resistant states such as obesity, pancreatic β-cells proliferate to prevent blood glucose elevations. Failure of this β-cells proliferative response leads to the development of diabetes. On the other hand, when organs are damaged, cells proliferate to repair the organs. Therefore, these proliferations are compensatory mechanisms aimed at maintaining whole-body homeostasis. We previously discovered vagal signal-mediated systems regulating adaptive proliferation of β-cells and hepatocytes. Neuron-mediated liver-β-cell inter-organ crosstalk is involved in promotion of β-cell proliferation during obesity, and in this system, vagal signals directly stimulate β-cell proliferation. Meanwhile, in the liver, the multi-step mechanisms whereby vagal nerve signals activate hepatic resident macrophages are involved in hepatocyte proliferation after severe injury. Diabetes mellitus develops on the pathological basis of insufficient insulin action. Insulin action insufficiency is attributable to insulin resistance, i.e., the failure of insulin to exert sufficient effects, and/or to impairment of insulin secretion. Impairment of insulin secretion is attributable not only to the β-cell dysfunction but also to functional β-cell mass reduction. In this regard, there are already therapeutic options to increase insulin secretion from residual β-cells, such as sulfonyl urea and incretin-related drugs. In contrast, there are as yet no applicable therapeutic strategies to increase functional β-cell mass in vivo. Therefore, we have conducted the basic investigations to tackle this issue based on the discovery of neuron-mediated liver-β-cell inter-organ crosstalk. This review introduces vagal signal-mediated regulatory systems of adaptive cell proliferation in vivo and efforts to develop cell-increasing therapies based on vagal nerve-mediated cell proliferation.

    Abstract The prevalence of type 2 diabetes increases with aging, and the type 2 diabetes developing in the elderly is often accompanied by a gradual impairment of β-cell function and reduced β-cell mass along with aging. However, the contribution of β-cell senescence to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes remains uncertain. In a recent Cell Metabolism article, Aguayo-Mazzucato et al. described their efforts to identify the signatures of senescent β-cells, and explored the role(s) of senescent β-cells in type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract In insulin-resistant states such as obesity, pancreatic β-cells proliferate to prevent blood glucose elevations. However, the mechanism(s) by which obesity induces compensatory β-cell responses is not fully understood. Recently, several studies have shown that signals from the liver, such as neuronal signals or humoral factors, regulate β-cell proliferation during obesity development. We previously reported a liver-brain-pancreas neuronal relay, consisting of afferent splanchnic nerves, the central nervous system and efferent vagal nerves, to promote this compensatory β-cell proliferation. Furthermore, we recently clarified the molecular mechanisms by which efferent vagal signals induce β-cell proliferation in this inter-organ neuronal network system. Herein, these liver-β-cell inter-organ networks are reviewed, focusing mainly on the neuronal network. The significance of the neuronal network system in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis is also discussed with reference to the relevant literature.

    Abstract Autonomic nerves, including sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, innervate organs and modulate those function, thereby regulating systemic metabolism. Autonomic nerve bundles contain both afferent and efferent nerve fibers, and both fibers play important roles in regulating systemic metabolism for maintenance of homeostasis at the whole-body level. Furthermore, recently-obtained evidence unraveled the metabolic regulatory systems through autonomic nerve-mediated inter-organ networks. In these systems, afferent innervations of autonomic nerves transmit metabolic information from peripheral organs to the central nervous system (CNS), and the CNS regulates organ functions based on the transmitted metabolic information through efferent innervations of autonomic nerves. In this review, autonomic nerve-mediated inter-organ networks that are involved in systemic metabolism are introduced, especially focusing on the liver-brain-pancreatic β-cell inter-organ network.

    Abstract Autonomic nerves, sympathetic and parasympathetic, innervate organs and modulate their functions. It has become evident that afferent and efferent signals of the autonomic nervous system play important roles in regulating systemic metabolism, thereby maintaining homeostasis at the whole-body level. Vagal afferent nerves receive signals, such as nutrients and hormones, from the peripheral organs/tissues including the gastrointestinal tract and adipose tissue then transmit these signals to the hypothalamus, thereby regulating feeding behavior. In addition to roles in controlling appetite, areas in the hypothalamus serve as regulatory centers of both sympathetic and parasympathetic efferent fibers. These efferent innervations regulate the functions of peripheral organs/tissues, such as pancreatic islets, adipose tissues and the liver, which play roles in metabolic regulation. Furthermore, recent evidence has unraveled the metabolic regulatory systems governed by autonomic nerve circuits. In these systems, afferent nerves transmit metabolic information from peripheral organs to the central nervous system (CNS) and the CNS thereby regulates the organ functions through the efferent fibers of autonomic nerves. Thus, the autonomic nervous system regulates the homeostasis of systemic metabolism, and both afferent and efferent fibers play critical roles in its regulation. In addition, several lines of evidence demonstrate the roles of the autonomic nervous system in regulating and dysregulating the immune system. This review introduces variety of neuron-mediated inter-organ cross-talk systems and organizes the current knowledge of autonomic control/coordination of systemic metabolism, focusing especially on a liver-brain-pancreatic β-cell autonomic nerve circuit, as well as highlighting the potential importance of connections with the neuronal and immune systems.

    Abstract Introduction: Insulin resistance syndrome and lipoatrophic diabetes are characterized by severe insulin resistance and are often refractory to treatment. Trials assessing the efficacy of antidiabetes drugs for these rare conditions have been limited, however. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which lower glycemia independently of insulin action, have shown efficacy for type 2 diabetes with insulin resistance. We here investigated the efficacy and safety of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin for treatment of insulin resistance syndrome and lipoatrophic diabetes.
    Methods: The trial was conducted at five academic centers in Japan and included seven patients with insulin resistance syndrome and one patient with lipoatrophic diabetes. Participants received 10 mg of empagliflozin daily. If the hemoglobin A
    Results: By the end of the 24-week treatment period, the mean HbA
    Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that empagliflozin shows a certain level of efficacy and safety for treatment of insulin resistance syndrome and lipoatrophic diabetes.
