    Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major contributor to mortality in diabetic patients, characterized by a multifaceted pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. While lactate, a byproduct of glycolysis, is known to be significantly elevated in type 2 diabetes, its specific role in DCM remains uncertain. This study reveals an abnormal upregulation of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) on the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes in type 2 diabetes, leading to excessive lactate efflux from these cells. The disruption in lactate transport homeostasis perturbs the intracellular lactate-pyruvate balance in cardiomyocytes, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses that exacerbate myocardial damage. Additionally, our findings suggest increased lactate efflux augments histone H4K12 lactylation in macrophages, facilitating inflammatory infiltration within the microenvironment. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that inhibiting MCT4 effectively alleviates myocardial oxidative stress and pathological damage, reduces inflammatory macrophage infiltration, and enhances cardiac function in type 2 diabetic mice. Furthermore, a clinical prediction model has been established, demonstrating a notable association between peripheral blood lactate levels and diastolic dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This underscores the potential of lactate as a prognostic biomarker for DCM. Ultimately, our findings highlight the pivotal involvement of MCT4 in the dysregulation of cardiac energy metabolism and macrophage-mediated inflammation in type 2 diabetes. These insights offer novel perspectives on the pathogenesis of DCM and pave the way for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies against this debilitating condition.

    Abstract Targeting the stemness of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a potential therapeutic approach for treating TNBC. Tetrandrine, a natural plant alkaloid, has several anticancer effects. Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tetrandrine in cancer stemness and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in TNBC, and to explore the underlying mechanisms. The effects of tetrandrine on cell growth, cell viability, cell stemness capacity, cell migration, and cell invasion, as well as the molecules involved in these processes, were investigated in a cell culture system.

    Abstract Purpose: To establish nomograms integrating serum lactate levels and traditional risk factors for predicting diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
    Patients and methods: A total of 570 T2DM patients and 100 healthy subjects were enrolled. T2DM patients were categorized into normal and high lactate groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify independent predictors for DKD. Then, nomograms for predicting DKD were established, and the model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
    Results: T2DM patients exhibited higher lactate levels compared to those in healthy subjects. Glucose, platelet, uric acid, creatinine, and hypertension were independent factors for DKD in T2DM patients with normal lactate levels, while diabetes duration, creatinine, total cholesterol, and hypertension were indicators in high lactate levels group (
    Conclusion: The serum lactate level-based nomogram models, combined with traditional risk factors, offer an effective tool for predicting DKD probability in T2DM patients. This approach holds promise for early risk assessment and tailored intervention strategies.

    Abstract JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202419110-00027/figure1/v/2024-03-08T184507Z/r/image-tiff Amyloid-beta-induced neuronal cell death contributes to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. Citri Reticulatae Semen has diverse beneficial effects on neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, however, the effect of Citri Reticulatae Semen on Alzheimer's disease remains unelucidated. In the current study, the anti-apoptotic and autophagic roles of Citri Reticulatae Semen extract on amyloid-beta-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells were first investigated. Citri Reticulatae Semen extract protected PC12 cells from amyloid-beta-induced apoptosis by attenuating the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio via activation of autophagy. In addition, Citri Reticulatae Semen extract was confirmed to bind amyloid-beta as revealed by biolayer interferometry in vitro, and suppress amyloid-beta-induced pathology such as paralysis, in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans in vivo model. Moreover, genetically defective Caenorhabditis elegans further confirmed that the neuroprotective effect of Citri Reticulatae Semen extract was autophagy-dependent. Most importantly, Citri Reticulatae Semen extract was confirmed to improve cognitive impairment, neuronal injury and amyloid-beta burden in 3×Tg Alzheimer's disease mice. As revealed by both in vitro and in vivo models, these results suggest that Citri Reticulatae Semen extract is a potential natural therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease via its neuroprotective autophagic effects.
