Article Abstract

Glucose homeostasis is of critical importance for the survival of organisms. It is under hormonal control and often coordinated by the action of kinases and phosphatases. We have previously shown that CK2 regulates insulin production and secretion in pancreatic β-cells. In order to shed more light on the CK2-regulated network of glucose homeostasis, in the present study, a qRT-PCR array was carried out with 84 diabetes-associated genes. After inhibition of CK2, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) showed a significant lower gene expression. Moreover, FBP1 activity was down-regulated. Being a central enzyme of gluconeogenesis, the secretion of glucose was decreased as well. Thus, FBP1 is a new factor in the CK2-regulated network implicated in carbohydrate metabolism control.

Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and debilitating psychiatric illness that produces significant disability. Clinical data suggest that the pathophysiology of depression is due, in part, to a dysregulation of inflammation and glutamate levels in the brain. The systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice.

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. While cryptotanshinone (CTS) shows therapeutic promise, its clinical application is hindered by poor pharmacokinetic properties. This study investigated DST-3, a novel derivative of CTS for enhanced neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke with improved drug-like properties.

Background: The gut-liver axis, pivotal in managing glucose balance and insulin responsiveness, is central to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Research has highlighted the regulatory effects of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), but it remains unclear how ALA modulates gut microbiota and liver inflammation in T2DM.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically investigate ALA's influence on liver inflammation, intestinal barrier integrity, gut microbial composition, and metabolic homeostasis in T2DM, with a focus on the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Background And Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance first identified during pregnancy that does not meet the criteria for overt diabetes. Its pathophysiology shares key features with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), including insulin resistance and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in T2D.
