Abstract

Background: 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type-2 (11beta-HSD2) is an unidirectional enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and corticosterone (B) into their corresponding inactive forms, cortisone, and 11-dehydrocorticosterone (DH-B). We have provided evidence that 11beta-HSD2 is expressed as messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in human adrenocortical cells, where its activity is inhibited in vitro by the main glucocorticoid agonists, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and angiotensin-II. It seemed worthwhile, therefore, to study the gene expression and activity of 11beta-HSD2 in cortisol-secreting adrenocortical adenomas.Methods: Three adrenal adenomas that produced Cushing syndrome were recruited. Three normal adrenal glands were obtained from patients who underwent unilateral nephrectomy with ipsilateral adrenalectomy for renal cancer. 11beta-HSD2 gene expression was studied by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in adenoma and normal adrenocortical tissue. Cortisol, B, cortisone, and DH-B production by adenoma and adrenal slices in vitro was assayed by quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the activity of 11beta-HSD2 was evaluated by measuring the conversion of [3H]-cortisol to [3H]-cortisone.Results: RT-PCR allowed the detection of the 11beta-HSD2 mRNA in the three adrenal adenomas and normal adrenal cortices examined. Under basal conditions, adenoma slices secreted higher amounts of cortisol and B, but markedly lower amounts of cortisone and DH-B than adrenal slices. ACTH raised cortisol and B production from both specimens, and it lowered cortisone and DH-B yield. The level basal conversion of [3H]-cortisol to [3H]-cortisone was notably less in adenomas than in adrenals, and ACTH decreased it in both tissues.Conclusions: Collectively, our findings indicate that cortisol-secreting adrenal adenomas express the 11beta-HSD2 gene, but the activity of the enzyme is suppressed in adenomas when compared with the normal adrenal cortex. We advance the hypothesis that the elevated local concentration of steroid hormones that occur in adenomas down-regulates 11beta-HSD2 activity, thereby contributing to their abnormal steroidogenic function.

69. Biphasic fluid oscillator with coaxial injection and upstream mass and momentum transfer

Author

Heuberger, M., Gottardo, L., Dressler, M., Hufenus, R., Heuberger, M., Gottardo, L., Dressler, M., and Hufenus, R.

Abstract

We present model experiments with biphasic flow and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for concentric co-flow scenarios. A lower viscosity fluid is injected into an outer phase of reduced thickness. Static design modifications of the injection geometry are then studied to allow for self-adjusting upstream transfer of mass and momentum. Such static arrangement gives rise to a simple biphasic fluid oscillator that can produce individual droplets at high rates and high aspect ratios. Frequency analysis and CFD simulations are invoked to shed light on the physics of this dynamically forced jet breakup and to identify relevant control parameters. In addition, we illustrate how a terminal baffle plate at the nozzle can produce a split-up into multiple dripping or jetting threads depending on its relative rotational symmetry with the upstream mass transfer. The here-presented distinctive injection geometry bears potential for simple ways of controlled jet breakup in microfluidics devices, which currently primarily rely on Rayleigh-Taylor breakup or the costly introduction of intricate actuators or compliant elements. Most notably, this oscillatory injector has potential for application in biphasic melt-flow spinnerets to realize advanced fiber core structures during melt-spinning.

70. Development of PET Fibers for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Molecules.

Author

Fortunato, G., Tenniche, A., Gottardo, L., Reifler, F. A., Michalow, K., and Hufenus, R.

Abstract

The article presents a study on the development of polyester (PET) fibers for photocatalytic degradation of organic molecules. It mentions the potential of Titania nanoparticles in ameliorating both ultraviolet (UV) resistance and antistatic properties as well as contribute self-cleaning through photocatalysis which can degrade the molecules to carbon dioxide and water. It also explores the incorporation of the said nanoparticles into the fibers through melt extrusion processes and electrospinning.

Abstract

Background Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to stressors, associated to poor health outcomes. The aim of this study was to design and introduce a Frailty Index (FI; according to the age-related accumulation of deficit model) in a large cohort of hospitalized older persons, in order to benefit from its capacity to comprehensively weight the risk profile of the individual. Methods Patients aged 65 and older enrolled in the REPOSI register from 2010 to 2016 were considered in the present analyses. Variables recorded at the hospital admission (including socio-demographic, physical, cognitive, functional and clinical factors) were used to compute the FI. The prognostic impact of the FI on in-hospital and 12-month mortality was assessed. Results Among the 4488 patients of the REPOSI register, 3847 were considered eligible for a 34-item FI computation. The median FI in the sample was 0.27 (interquartile range 0.21–0.37). The FI was significantly predictive of both in-hospital (OR 1.61, 95%CI 1.38–1.87) and overall (HR 1.46, 95%CI 1.32–1.62) mortality, also after adjustment for age and sex. Conclusions The FI confirms its strong predictive value for negative outcomes. Its implementation in cohort studies (including those conducted in the hospital setting) may provide useful information for better weighting the complexity of the older person and accordingly design personalized interventions.

Abstract

Background and aim: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the degree of glycaemic control and the frequency of diabetic complications in Italian people with diabetes who were treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Methods and results: Questionnaires investigating the organisation of diabetes care centres, individuals’ clinical and metabolic features and pump technology and its management were sent to adult and paediatric diabetes centres that use CSII for treatment in Italy. Information on standard clinical variables, demographic data and acute and chronic diabetic complications was derived from local clinical management systems. The sample consisted of 6623 people with diabetes, which was obtained from 93 centres. Of them, 98.8% had type 1 diabetes mellitus, 57.2% were female, 64% used a conventional insulin pump and 36% used a sensor-augmented insulin pump. The median glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level was 60 mmol/mol (7.6%). The HbA1c target (i.e. 18 years) was achieved in 43.4% of paediatric and 23% of adult participants. Factors such as advanced pump functions, higher rate of sensor use, pregnancy in the year before the study and longer duration of diabetes were associated with lower HbA1c levels. The most common chronic complications occurring in diabetes were retinopathy, microalbuminuria and hypertension. In the year before the study, 5% of participants reported ≥1 episode of severe hypoglycaemic (SH) episodes (SH) and 2.6% reported ≥1 episode of ketoacidosis. Conclusions: Advanced personal skills and use of sensor-based pump are associated with better metabolic control outcomes in Italian people with diabetes who were treated with CSII. The reduction in SH episodes confirms the positive effect of CSII on hypoglycaemia. Clinical trial registration number: NCT 02620917 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract

Background: Among rate-control or rhythm-control strategies, there is conflicting evidence as to which is the best management approach for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients. Design: We performed an ancillary analysis from the ‘Registro Politerapie SIMI’ study, enrolling elderly inpatients from internal medicine and geriatric wards. Methods: We considered patients enrolled from 2008 to 2014 with an AF diagnosis at admission, treated with a rate-control-only or rhythm-control-only strategy. Results: Among 1114 patients, 241 (21.6%) were managed with observation only and 122 (11%) were managed with both the rate- and rhythm-control approaches. Of the remaining 751 patients, 626 (83.4%) were managed with a rate-control-only strategy and 125 (16.6%) were managed with a rhythm-control-only strategy. Rate-control-managed patients were older (p=0.002), had a higher Short Blessed Test (SBT; p=0.022) and a lower Barthel Index (p=0.047). Polypharmacy (p=0.001), heart failure (p=0.005) and diabetes (p=0.016) were more prevalent among these patients. Median CHA2DS2-VASc score was higher among rate-control-managed patients (p=0.001). SBT [odds ratio (OR) 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94–1.00, p=0.037], diabetes (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26–0.87, p=0.016) and polypharmacy (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.34–0.99, p=0.045) were negatively associated with a rhythm-control strategy. At follow-up, no difference was found between rate- and rhythm-control strategies for cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause deaths (6.1 vs. 5.6%, p=0.89; and 15.9 vs. 14.1%, p=0.70, respectively). Conclusion: A rate-control strategy is the most widely used among elderly AF patients with multiple comorbidities and polypharmacy. No differences were evident in CV death and all-cause death at follow-up.

Background: Because frailty is a complex phenomenon associated with poor outcomes, the identification of patient profiles with different care needs might be of greater practical help than to look for a unifying definition. This study aimed at identifying aging phenotypes and their related outcomes in order to recognize frailty in hospitalized older patients. Methods: Patients aged 65 or older enrolled in internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the REPOSI registry. Relationships among variables associated to sociodemographic, physical, cognitive, functional, and medical status were explored using a multiple correspondence analysis. The hierarchical cluster analysis was then performed to identify possible patient profiles. Multivariable logistic regression was used to verify the association between clusters and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and 3-month postdischarge mortality and rehospitalization). Results: 2,841 patients were included in the statistical analyses. Four clusters were identified: the healthiest (I), those with multimorbidity (II), the functionally independent women with osteoporosis and arthritis (III), and the functionally dependent oldest old patients with cognitive impairment (IV). There was a significantly higher in-hospital mortality in Cluster II (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-4.46) and Cluster IV (OR = 5.15, 95% CI = 2.58-10.26) and a higher 3-month mortality in Cluster II (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.13-2.44) and Cluster IV (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.15-3.00) than in Cluster I.

Abstract

Background Because frailty is a complex phenomenon associated with poor outcomes, the identification of patient profiles with different care needs might be of greater practical help than to look for a unifying definition. This study aimed at identifying aging phenotypes and their related outcomes in order to recognize frailty in hospitalized older patients. Methods Patients aged 65 or older enrolled in internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the REPOSI registry. Relationships among variables associated to sociodemographic, physical, cognitive, functional, and medical status were explored using a multiple correspondence analysis. The hierarchical cluster analysis was then performed to identify possible patient profiles. Multivariable logistic regression was used to verify the association between clusters and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and 3-month postdischarge mortality and rehospitalization). Results 2,841 patients were included in the statistical analyses. Four clusters were identified: the healthiest (I); those with multimorbidity (II); the functionally independent women with osteoporosis and arthritis (III); and the functionally dependent oldest old patients with cognitive impairment (IV). There was a significantly higher in-hospital mortality in Cluster II (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-4.46) and Cluster IV (OR = 5.15, 95% CI = 2.58-10.26) and a higher 3-month mortality in Cluster II (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.13-2.44) and Cluster IV (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.15-3.00) than in Cluster I. Conclusions Using alternative analytical techniques among hospitalized older patients, we could distinguish different frailty phenotypes, differently associated with adverse events. The identification of different patient profiles can help defining the best care strategy according to specific patient needs.

Abstract

Purpose: To assess the pattern of in-hospital changes in drug use in older patients from 2010 to 2016. Methods: People aged 65years or more acutely hospitalized in those internal medicine and geriatric wards that did continuously participate to the REgistro POliterapie Società Italiana di Medicina Interna register from 2010 to 2016 were selected. Drugs use were categorized as 0 to 1 drug (very low drug use), 2 to 4 drugs (low drug use), 5 to 9 drugs (polypharmacy), and 10 or more drugs (excessive polypharmacy). To assess whether or not prevalence of patients in relation to drug use distribution changed overtime, adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) was estimated with log-binomial regression models. Results: Among 2120 patients recruited in 27 wards continuously participating to data collection, 1882 were discharged alive and included in this analysis. The proportion of patients with very low drug use (0-1 drug) at hospital discharge increased overtime, from 2.7% in 2010 to 9.2% in 2016. Results from a log-logistic adjusted model confirmed the increasing PR of these very low drug users overtime (particularly in 2014 vs 2012, PR 1.83 95% CI 1.14-2.95). Moreover, from 2010 to 2016, there was an increasing number of patients who, on polypharmacy at hospital admission, abandoned it at hospital discharge, switching to the very low drug use group. Conclusion: This study shows that in internal medicine and geriatric wards continuously participating to the REgistro POliterapie Società Italiana di Medicina Interna register, the proportion of patients with a very low drug use at hospital discharge increased overtime, thus reducing the therapeutic burden in this at risk population.

Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a substantial risk of thromboembolism and mortality, significantly reduced by oral anticoagulation. Adherence to guidelines may lower the risks for both all cause and cardiovascular (CV) deaths. Methods: Our objective was to evaluate if antithrombotic prophylaxis according to the 2012 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines is associated to a lower rate of adverse outcomes. Data were obtained from REPOSI; a prospective observational study enrolling inpatients aged ≥65years. Patients enrolled in 2012 and 2014 discharged with an AF diagnosis were analysed. Results: Among 2535 patients, 558 (22.0%) were discharged with a diagnosis of AF. Based on ESC guidelines, 40.9% of patients were on guideline-adherent thromboprophylaxis, 6.8% were overtreated, and 52.3% were undertreated. Logistic analysis showed that increasing age (p=0.01), heart failure (p=0.04), coronary artery disease (p=0.013), peripheral arterial disease (p=0.03) and concomitant cancer (p=0.003) were associated with non-adherence to guidelines. Specifically, undertreatment was significantly associated with increasing age (p=0.001) and cancer (p&nbsp

Abstract

Background Evidence accumulated that some glucose‐lowering medications protect against cardiovascular events ( CVEs ) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established cardiovascular disease. The present study evaluated if and how glucose‐lowering medication prescription pattern changes in T2DM after a CVE. Methods and Results DATAFILE (Diabetes Therapy After a Cardiovascular Event) was a retrospective multicenter study conducted at 12 diabetes mellitus specialist outpatient clinics in Italy. We identified T2DM patients with an incident CVE for whom a follow‐up visit was available after the event. We selected control T2DM patients without an incident CVE , who were matched with cases for age, sex, known diabetes mellitus duration, baseline hemoglobin A 1c , kidney function, and follow‐up time. We extracted clinical variables and compared prescribed therapies at baseline and follow‐up. We included 563 patients with and 497 matched patients without an incident CVE . As expected, patients with a subsequent CVE had a higher baseline prevalence of ischemic heart disease. After a median of 9.5 months, in patients with versus those without a CVE , there was a significant increase in the prescription of beta‐blockers, loop diuretics, dual antiplatelet therapy, and, among glucose‐lowering medications, a significant decrease in metformin. Hemoglobin A 1c marginally declined only in the control group, whereas low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased only in patients with CVE . Conclusions This study highlights that occurrence of a CVE in T2DM patients did not prime the prescription of glucose‐lowering medications provided with cardiovascular protective effects, even though glucose control remained poor. These data emphasize the need to optimize the therapeutic regimen of T2DM patients with established cardiovascular disease, according to updated guidelines.

Abstract

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in tertiary care centers using the clinical records of patients enrolled in internal medicine departments.Patients and methods: We used the clinical records of 1380 elderly patients to identify patients with a history of HF and CKD using admission ICD codes and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas. Magnitude and strength of such associations were investigated by univariable and multivariable analysis.Results: Of the 1380 patients enrolled, 27.9% had HF (age 80 ± 7, BMI 27 ± 6 kg/m2) and 17.4% CKD (age 81 ± 7, BMI 26.8 ± 6 kg/m2). Both groups were significantly older (P

Abstract

Two series of co-polymers with the general formula [B(C 2 H 4 SiCH 3 (NH) x (NCH 3 ) y ) 3 ] n , i.e., composed of C 2 H 4 SiCH 3 (NH) x and C 2 H 4 SiCH 3 (NCH 3 ) y (C 2 H 4 = CHCH 3 , CH 2 CH 2 ) building blocks in a well defined x : y ratio, have been synthesized by hydroboration of dichloromethylvinylsilane with borane dimethyl sulfide followed by successive reactions with lithium amide and methylamine according to controlled ratios. The role of the chemistry behind their syntheses has been studied in detail by solid-state NMR, FT-IR and elemental analyses. Then, the intimate relationship between the chemistry and the melt-spinnability of these polymers was discussed. By keeping x = 0.50 and increasing y above 0.50, i.e., obtaining methylamine excess, the co-polymers contained more ending groups and especially more tetracoordinated boron, thus allowing tuning very precisely the chemical structure of the preceramic polymer in order to meet the requirements for melt-spinning. The curing treatment under ammonia at 200 °C efficiently rendered the green fibers infusible before their subsequent pyrolysis under nitrogen at 1000 °C to generate Si-B-C-N ceramic fibers. Interestingly, it could be possible to produce also low diameter hollow fibers with relatively high mechanical properties for a further exploration as membrane materials.

Abstract

The interleukin 6 signal transducer (IL6ST, also known as gp130) is a ubiquitously expressed intermediate of the interleukin-6 signaling pathway. We investigated whether genetic variability at the IL6ST locus is involved in the modulation of metabolic traits and the etiology of the metabolic syndrome (MS). Four haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms were typed in two populations of non-diabetic subjects, one from Northern Italy (Padua (PD), n = 630), the other from Southern Italy (San Giovanni Rotondo (SGR), n = 553). In the PD population, a nominally significant association was observed between fasting glucose and rs715180 (P = 0.02), rs3729960 (P = 0.02), and rs10940495 (P = 0.05), between homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA(IR)) and rs715180 (P = 0.04), and between triglycerides and rs3729960 (P = 0.03). In the SGR population, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were associated with rs715180 (P = 0.01), systolic blood pressure and waist circumference with rs3729960 (P = 0.005 and 0.02, respectively). The frequency of rs715180 minor allele carriers progressively decreased from individuals with no MS components to those with three or more components (P for trend = 0.006 in the two populations combined). Compared to major allele homozygotes, minor allele carriers had 40% lower odds of having at least one MS component (Odds ratio = 0.6, 95% confidence interval 0.4-0.8, P = 0.005). These findings point to IL6ST variants as possible determinants of impaired glucose metabolism and other abnormalities of MS.

Abstract

Objective: Cellular and animal studies suggest that leptin has proinflammatory and prothrombotic effects that could link increased adipose mass directly to atherogenesis. To investigate this hypothesis, we examined the effect of genetic variability at the leptin receptor (LEPR) locus on the plasma levels of fibrinogen and CRP--two markers of inflammation and susceptibility to atherosclerosis., Methods and Results: Linkage disequilibrium analysis of 71 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the LEPR locus revealed four haplotype blocks that could be tagged by 11 SNPs. In 630 healthy Caucasian individuals, variability in block #4 was significantly associated with plasma fibrinogen (p=0.005), accounting for 3% of its variance (r2=0.030). The same block was also associated with CRP levels (p=0.049, r2=0.022). The effect was strongest for two of the SNPs in this block. At rs3790432, fibrinogen was 10% higher in minor allele homozygotes than in major allele homozygotes and intermediate in heterozygotes (p=0.015). At rs1805096, it was 5% higher (p=0.007) and CRP 32% higher (p=0.011) in major allele homozygotes than in minor allele carriers. This pattern of association was also evident in the haplotype analysis., Conclusions: Association of leptin receptor variability with inflammatory traits supports the hypothesis that leptin may play a role in atherogenesis.

Abstract

Visfatin (also known as pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor, or PBEF) is a pro-inflammatory adipokine expressed predominantly in visceral fat. We investigated whether polymorphisms at the visfatin/PBEF locus influence the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Linkage disequilibrium analysis of 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms spanning the entire gene (34.7 kb) plus 20.5 kb of the upstream region and 25.5 kb of the downstream region revealed a single haplotype block that could be tagged by seven single nucleotide polymorphisms. These seven tags were typed in a group of T2D patients (n = 814) and a group of non-diabetic controls (n = 320) of white origin. A significant association was observed at -948C>A, with minor allele frequencies of 0.157 in T2D cases and 0.119 in non-diabetic controls (p = 0.021). In a non-diabetic population (n = 630), the same -948 allele that conferred increased risk of T2D was significantly associated with higher plasma levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (p = 0.0022 and 0.0038, respectively). However, no significant associations were observed with BMI, waist circumference, serum glucose levels, or fasting insulin levels. Our findings suggest that the visfatin/PBEF gene may play a role in determining T2D susceptibility, possibly by modulating chronic, low-grade inflammatory responses.

Abstract

CD36 is a class B scavenger receptor recognizing a variety of ligands including long-chain fatty acids and modified LDL. We investigated whether genetic variability at this locus is a determinant of free fatty acid (FFA) plasma levels and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Caucasians. Typing of 21 polymorphic markers, evenly spanning the CD36 gene, revealed two linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks that could be tagged by five polymorphisms (-33137A>G, -31118G>A, 25444G>A, 27645del>ins and 30294G>C). In 585 non-diabetic individuals of Caucasian origin, the 30294G>C polymorphism was significantly associated with FFA levels (P = 0.02)--an effect that was especially visible among men (P = 0.009). A similar association was observed in this gender at -33137 (P = 0.008) and -31118 (P = 0.028). When the five tag polymorphisms were considered together, men carrying the AGGIG haplotype had 31% higher FFA (P = 0.0002) and 20% higher triglycerides (P = 0.025) than non-carriers. The same haplotype was associated with increased risk of CAD in 197 type 2 diabetic individuals from the US (OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.2-4.2). A similar tendency was observed in a group of 321 type 2 diabetic individuals from Italy (OR = 1.4, 0.9-2.3), resulting in an overall relative risk of 1.6 (1.1-2.3, P = 0.015) in the two populations considered together. By targeted resequencing, we identified a common variant in the CD36 promoter that is in strong LD with the AGGIG haplotype and could be partly responsible for these findings. In conclusion, this comprehensive study of CD36 variability indicates that the common polymorphisms at this locus modulate lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk in Caucasians.

Abstract

The interaction of local anesthetics (LA) with biological and phospholipid bilayers was investigated regarding the contribution of their structure and physicochemical properties to membrane partition and to erythrocyte solubilization. We measured the partition into phospholipid vesicles-at pH 5.0 and 10.5-and the biphasic hemolytic effect on rat erythrocytes of: benzocaine, chloroprocaine, procaine, tetracaine, bupivacaine, mepivacaine, lidocaine, prilocaine, and dibucaine. At pH 7.4, the binding of uncharged and charged LA to the membranes was considered, since it results in an ionization constant (pK(app)) different from that observed for the anesthetic in the aqueous phase (pK(w)). Even though it occurred at a pH at which there is a predominance of the charged species, hemolysis was greatly influenced by the uncharged species, revealing that the disrupting effect of LA on these membranes is mainly a consequence of hydrophobic interactions. The correlation between the hemolytic activity and the LA potency shows that hemolytic experiments could be used for the prediction of activity in the development of new LA molecules.

Abstract

Evidence indicates that some regulatory peptides (endothelins, cholecystokinin and VIP) are involved in the control of thymus growth, and we have investigated whether galanin may be included in this group of peptides. In fact, galanin, a 29-amino acid peptide acting through three subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors (GalR1, GalR2 and GalR3), seems to play a role in the control of the immune system. Reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allowed the detection of galanin, GalR1 and GalR3 mRNAs in the thymus cortex of immature (20-day-old) rats, while GalR2 expression was very weak or absent. Immature rats were given three subcutaneous injections (28, 16 and 4 h before sacrifice) of 2 nmol/100 g galanin and or the galanin-receptor antagonist (galanin-A) [D-Thr(6),D-Trp(8,9),15-ol]-galanin(1-15), and 0.1 mg/100 g vincristine 3 h before sacrifice. Thymuses were processed for light microscopy and the percentage of metaphase-arrested cells (mitotic index) was evaluated. Galanin-A increased the thymus mitotic index, while galanin was ineffective, thereby suggesting that endogenous galanin exerts a maximal tonic inhibitory effect on the proliferative activity of thymocytes in immature rats. Immature rat thymocytes were cultured in vitro for 12 h in the presence of 10(-6) M galanin and/or galanin-A. Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide were added to the cultures, and the percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells was determined under fluorescence microscope. Galanin increased apoptotic index, and the effect was prevented by galanin-A. Neither galanin nor galanin-A altered necrotic index. Collectively, our findings indicate that galanin, probably acting through GalR1 and GalR3, exerts antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects on immature rat thymocytes, which makes it likely that this peptide plays a role in the autocrine/paracrine functional regulation of immune system in the rat.

Abstract

Background: 11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase types 1 and 2 (11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2) are two isoenzymes that convert inactive glucocorticoids (e.g., cortisone) to their active forms (e.g., cortisol) and vice versa. Abundant evidence indicates that 11betaHSD2 is expressed as mRNA and protein in both adrenal cortex and adrenal tumors. In contrast, 11betaHSD1 has been investigated to a much lesser degree. We therefore studied and compared the expression and activity of the two isoenzymes in the human adrenal cortex (HAC) and cortisol-secreting adenomas (CSAs)., Methods: Six HAC and six CSA specimens were studied. 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 gene expression was studied by conventional and semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 activity was assayed by measuring the capacity of both microsomal fraction and tissue fragments to convert [3H]cortisone to [3H]cortisol and vice versa. Steroid hormones were separated and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, and cortisol concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay., Results: Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzymatic assay demonstrated higher 11betaHSD1 expression and activity and lower 11betaHSD2 expression and activity in CSAs than in HACs. CSA slices secreted larger amounts of cortisol than did HAC specimens, and the cholesterol side-chain-cleaving enzyme inhibitor aminoglutethimide, by blocking the early step of steroid synthesis, reduced cortisol secretion by approximately 70%. Aminoglutethimide decreased [3H]cortisol production from [3H]cortisone and increased [3H]cortisone production from [3H]cortisol in both tissues, thereby annulling differences in 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 activity between HACs and CSAs., Conclusion: Collectively, our findings indicate that 1) both 11betaHSD isoenzymes are expressed as mRNA and proteins in the HAC and CSA, with 11betaHSD1 upregulated and 1betaHSD2 downregulated in CSAs; and 2) 11betaHSD1 and 11betaHSD2 activity is positively and negatively correlated with the intracellular concentration of steroid hormones. Hence, 11betaHSD isoenzymes could act as amplifiers of the secretagogue effect of agonists and could contribute to the elevated hormonal secretion of CSAs.

Abstract

Moderate alcohol (ETOH) intake has been associated with a significant reduction in risk for infarction among general populations. In this study, we assessed the effects of low-dose ETOH (40 g over 3-h period as vodka) on the interaction between glucose (G), insulin, and lactate (L) during the insulin-modified frequently sampled i.v. glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) (0.3 U/kg body weight between 20-25 min) in eight normal volunteers. In the control (C) study, water was administered. An insulin-independent two-compartment model was used to describe G and L kinetics. Insulin sensitivity (S(I)) was significantly higher in the ETOH study than in the C study (2.49 +/- 0.52 vs. 0.92 +/- 0.20 10(-4) min(-1)microU(-1)ml, C vs. ETOH; P = 0.0391). No significant differences were observed in G effectiveness (0.029 +/- 0.004 vs. 0.033 +/- 0.004 min(-1)). Blood L levels were higher during FSIGT when ETOH was administered [area under the curve (AUC), 201 plus minus 16 vs. 123 +/- 23 mmol/liter in 240 min; P = 0.0001]. The dynamic analysis of blood L concentrations showed that ETOH also significantly decreased L clearance (0.0016 +/- 0.0011 vs. 0.0029 +/- 0.0002 min(-1); P = 0.0156), whereas no difference was observed for the fractional conversion of the rate of G disappearance to L (0.0033 +/- 0.0012 vs. 0.0031 +/- 0.0005 min(-1)). ETOH decreased baseline plasma FFA concentration; AUC of FFA was markedly reduced with ETOH (65 +/- 14 vs. 109 plus minus 17 mmol/liter in 240 min; P = 0.0063) and inversely correlated with S(I) (r = 0.693; P = 0.0029). The amount of C-peptide in 240 min as well as the amounts before and after insulin administration were not different between the two tests. We concluded that G and L kinetics derived from FSIGT shows that moderate ETOH intake: 1) improves insulin action; 2) decreases L clearance; and 3) does not affect beta cell function. Because ETOH at moderate doses has a marked antilipolytic action, it might improve insulin action by improving substrate competition. The present findings suggest that moderate alcohol consumption in the diet should not be discouraged.

Abstract

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a basic 38-amino acid peptide, which acts through three main G protein-coupled VIP/PACAP receptor subtypes, called PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2. We have investigated the expression and function of PACAP and its receptors in the rat adrenal gland. Reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and radioimmune assay (RIA) allowed the detection of PACAP expression as mRNA and protein exclusively in adrenal medulla (AM). RT-PCR and quantitative autoradiography, using [(125)I]PACAP and selective VIP/PACAP receptor ligands, demonstrated the expression of PAC1 only in AM, and VPAC1 and VPAC2 in both AM and zona glomerulosa (ZG), PACAP receptor expression being absent in zona fasciculata/reticularis (ZF/R). PACAP38 concentration-dependently increased aldosterone secretion from dispersed ZG cells and catecholamine secretion from AM tissue, the maximal effective concentration being 10(-7) M. ZF/R cells did not display any secretory response to PACAP38. Aldosterone response of ZG cells to 10(-7) M PACAP38 was unaffected by the PAC1-antagonist (A) PACAP(6-38), and significantly decreased by the VPAC1-A [Ac-His(1),D-Phe(2),Lys(15),Arg(16)]VIP(3-7) GRF(8-27)-NH(2). Catecholamine response of AM tissue to PACAP38 was reduced, but not abolished, by both PAC1-A and VPAC1-A. The VPAC2 agonist (ago) Ro25-1553 elicited sizeable secretory responses from both ZG cells and AM tissue. PACAP38 (10(-7) M) evoked a marked rise in cyclic-AMP (cAMP) and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) production by ZG cells and AM tissue. cAMP response of ZG cells was lowered by VPAC1-A, and that of AM tissue by both PAC1-A and VPAC1-A. IP3 response of ZG cells and AM tissue was unaffected by PAC1-A and decreased by VPAC1-A. VPAC2-ago did not affect cAMP release, but raised IP3 production by both ZG cells and AM tissue. Aldosterone response of ZG cells and catecholamine response of AM tissue to PACAP38 (10(-7) M) were reduced by the adenylate cyclase (AC) and phospholipase-C (PLC) inhibitors (I) SQ-22536 and U-73122, as well as by the protein kinase (PK)A-I H-89 and PKC-I calphostin-C. Conversely, the secretory responses of both ZG and AM preparations to VPAC2-ago were annulled by PLC-I, lowered by PKC-I, and unaffected by either AC-I or PKA-I. Collectively, our findings allow us to conclude that in the rat adrenals: i) PACAP biosynthesis exclusively occurs in the AM; ii) ZG cells are provided with functional VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, whose activation by PACAP evokes a moderate aldosterone response; iii) AM cells possess all the subtypes of VIP/PACAP receptors, whose activation by PACAP elicits a marked catecholamine response; and iv) PAC1 receptors are coupled to the AC-dependent cascade, VPAC1 receptors to both the AC- and PLC-dependent cascades, and VPAC2 receptors exclusively to the PLC-dependent cascade.

Abstract

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a hypotensive peptide, that derives from the proteolytic cleavage of pro(p)ADM and acts through two subtypes of receptors, called L1-receptor (L1-R) and calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR). CRLR may function as a calcitonin gene-related peptide or a selective ADM receptor depending on the expression of the subtype 1 or the subtypes 2 and 3 of a family of proteins, named receptor-activity modifying proteins (RAMPs). Reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allowed the detection of pADM mRNA in dispersed cells of eight Conn's adenomas (aldosteronomas). These cells also expressed peptidyl-glycine alpha-amidating monooxigenase, the enzyme converting immature ADM to the mature form, and contained sizeable amounts of ADM-immunoreactivity as measured by radioimmunoassay. RT-PCR also demonstrated the presence in aldosteronoma cells of the specific mRNAs of L1-R, CRLR and RAMPs 1-3. ADM (10(-8) M) inhibited angiotensin-II (10(-9) M)-simulated aldosterone secretion from cultured aldosteronoma cells, without affecting basal production. ADM (10(-8) M) also enhanced basal proliferation rate of cultured cells, as estimated by the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine immunocytochemical technique. Both effects of ADM were annulled by the ADM-receptor selective antagonist ADM22-52 (10(-7) M). In conclusion, our study provides evidence that aldosteronoma cells express both ADM and ADM22-52-sensitive receptors. These findings, coupled with the demonstration that ADM exerts an aldosterone antisecretagogue action and a proliferogenic effect on cultured aldosteronoma cells, make it likely that endogenous ADM system plays a potentially important role in the paracrine or autocrine functional control of Conn's adenomas.

Abstract

Cholecystokinin is a regulatory peptide, that acts through two subtypes of receptors, 1 and 2. RT-PCR demonstrated the expression of both cholecystokinin receptors 1 and 2 genes in the zona glomerulosa, but not the zona fasciculata-reticularis, of rat adrenals. Autoradiography demonstrated the presence of abundant [(125)I]cholecystokinin-binding sites in the zona glomerulosa, but not the zona fasciculata-reticularis, which were displaced by both cholecystokinin receptor 1- and 2-selective antagonists (cholecystokinin 1-A and 2-A). Cholecystokinin increased basal aldosterone secretion from dispersed zona glomerulosa cells without affecting corticosterone secretion from zona fasciculata-reticularis cells. The aldosterone response to cholecystokinin was blunted by cholecystokinin 1-A and 2-A, which when added together abolished it. ACTH-stimulated aldosterone production was not affected by cholecystokinin; in contrast, cholecystokinin potentiated aldosterone response to both angiotensin II and K(+). Cholecystokinin enhanced cAMP, but not IP(3), release by dispersed zona glomerulosa cells. The aldosterone response to cholecystokinin was abolished by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536 and the PKA inhibitor H-89, but not by either the PLC inhibitor U-73122 or the PKC inhibitor calphostin C. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that cholecystokinin, acting through cholecystokinin receptors 1 and 2 coupled with the adenylate cyclase/PKA cascade, exerts a sizeable secretagogue action on rat zona glomerulosa cells.

Abstract

Orexins A and B are two hypothalamic peptides, that play a role in the central control of food intake. Orexins act via two subtypes of receptors: OX1R which is selective for orexin A, and OX2R which binds both orexins. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the expression of both OX1R and OX2R gene in the adrenal cortex of adult female rats. The prolonged systemic administration of orexins A and B (20 ng/kg x day, for 7 days) affected neither adrenal weight and the morphology of adrenocortical zones (as evaluated by morphometric techniques) nor ACTH plasma concentration in rats. In contrast, the treatment with both orexins increased plasma concentration of both aldosterone and corticosterone. Taken together, these findings indicate that orexins exert a marked direct chronic secretagogue action on adrenocortical cells, acting through both OX1R and OX2R.

Abstract

Background: 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type-2 (11beta-HSD2) is an unidirectional enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and corticosterone (B) into their corresponding inactive forms, cortisone, and 11-dehydrocorticosterone (DH-B). We have provided evidence that 11beta-HSD2 is expressed as messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in human adrenocortical cells, where its activity is inhibited in vitro by the main glucocorticoid agonists, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and angiotensin-II. It seemed worthwhile, therefore, to study the gene expression and activity of 11beta-HSD2 in cortisol-secreting adrenocortical adenomas., Methods: Three adrenal adenomas that produced Cushing syndrome were recruited. Three normal adrenal glands were obtained from patients who underwent unilateral nephrectomy with ipsilateral adrenalectomy for renal cancer. 11beta-HSD2 gene expression was studied by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in adenoma and normal adrenocortical tissue. Cortisol, B, cortisone, and DH-B production by adenoma and adrenal slices in vitro was assayed by quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the activity of 11beta-HSD2 was evaluated by measuring the conversion of [3H]-cortisol to [3H]-cortisone., Results: RT-PCR allowed the detection of the 11beta-HSD2 mRNA in the three adrenal adenomas and normal adrenal cortices examined. Under basal conditions, adenoma slices secreted higher amounts of cortisol and B, but markedly lower amounts of cortisone and DH-B than adrenal slices. ACTH raised cortisol and B production from both specimens, and it lowered cortisone and DH-B yield. The level basal conversion of [3H]-cortisol to [3H]-cortisone was notably less in adenomas than in adrenals, and ACTH decreased it in both tissues., Conclusions: Collectively, our findings indicate that cortisol-secreting adrenal adenomas express the 11beta-HSD2 gene, but the activity of the enzyme is suppressed in adenomas when compared with the normal adrenal cortex. We advance the hypothesis that the elevated local concentration of steroid hormones that occur in adenomas down-regulates 11beta-HSD2 activity, thereby contributing to their abnormal steroidogenic function.

Abstract

Tyrphostin-23 is commonly used as inhibitor of tyrosine kinase (TK). We found that tyrphostin-23 concentration-dependently increased basal steroid-hormone secretion from dispersed human and rat adrenocortical cells, the maximal effective concentration being 10(-5) M. Tyrphostin-23 (10(-5) M) enhanced 10(-9) M angiotensin-II- and endothelin-1-stimulated secretion of human and rat adrenocortical cells, but not the secretory response to 10(-9) M ACTH However, it increased the response to lower concentrations (10(-12) or 10(-11) M) of ACTH. The secretagogue effect of tyrphostin-23 on dispersed rat adrenocortical cells was abolished by either the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536 (10(-4) M) or the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89 (10(-5) M). Tyrphostin-23 (10(-5) M) raised basal cyclic-AMP release by dispersed rat adrenocortical cells, but in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, 10(-3) M) it was ineffective. Both tyrphostin-23 and IBMX increased cyclic-AMP release by rat adrenocortical cells in response to 10(-10) M ACTH, and their effects were not additive. Taken together, our findings suggest that tyrphostin-23, acting as an inhibitor of phosphodiesterases in adrenocortical cells, increases the intracellular concentration of cyclic-AMP available for PKA activation thereby stimulating steroid-hormone secretion. They also stress that caution must be used in interpreting the results of studies aimed at investigating the possible cross-talk between adenylate cyclase- and TK-dependent signaling cascades.
