Pancreatic Cancer-Associated Diabetes is Clinically Distinguishable From Conventional Diabetes.
Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is diabetes secondary to other pancreatic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic resection, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Clinically, it may easily be confused with conventional type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A delay in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment leads to a worse outcome. Therefore, early recognition of PDA-associated T3cDM and distinction from conventional T2DM represents an opportunity improve survival in patients with PDA.Bo Hyung Yoon, Su Mae Ang, Andre Alabd, Kevin Furlong, Charles J Yeo, Harish Lavu, Jordan M Winter

Agomelatine effects on fat-enriched diet induced neuroinflammation and depression-like behavior in rats.
Growing evidence suggests that a high fat diet (HFD) induces oxidative stress on the central nervous system (CNS), which predisposes to mood disorders and neuroinflammation. In this study we postulated that in addition to improving mood, antidepressant therapy would reverse inflammatory changes in the brain of rats exposed to a HFD. To test our hypothesis, we measured the effect of the antidepressant agomelatine (AGO) on anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors, as well as on CNS markers of inflammation in rats rendered obese. Agomelatine is an agonist of the melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 and an antagonist of the serotonin receptors 5HT2B and 5HT2C. A subset of rats was also treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to determine how additional neuroinflammation alters behavior and affects the response to the antidepressant. Specifically, rats were subjected to a 14-week HFD, during which time behavior was evaluated twice, first at the 10th week prior to LPS and/or agomelatine, and then at the 14th week after a bi-weekly exposure to LPS (250 μg/kg) and daily treatment with agomelatine (40 mg/kg). Immediately after the second behavioral testing we measured the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), markers of oxidative stress thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TABRS), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), the growth factor BDNF, as well as the apoptosis marker caspase-3. Our results show that a HFD induced an anxiety-like behavior in the open field test (OFT) at the 10th week, followed by a depressive-like behavior in the forced swim test (FST) at the 14th week. In the prefrontal and hippocampal cortices of rats exposed to a HFD we noted an overproduction of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and TABRS, together with an increase in caspase-3 activity. We also observed a decrease in BDNF, as well as reduced CAT and GPx activity in the same brain areas. Treatment with agomelatine reversed the signs of anxiety and depression, and decreased the cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β), TABRS, as well as caspase-3 activity. Agomelatine also restored BDNF levels and the activity of antioxidant enzymes CAT and GPx. Our findings suggest that the anxiolytic/antidepressant effect of agomelatine in obese rats could result from a reversal of the inflammatory and oxidative stress brought about by their diet.Redouane Rebai, Luc Jasmin, Abdennacer Boudah

Individual differences in the neuroendocrine response of male rats to emotional stressors are not trait-like and strongly depend on the intensity of the stressors.
Biological response to stressors is critical to understand stress-related pathologies and vulnerability to psychiatric diseases. It is assumed that we can identify trait-like characteristics in biological responsiveness by testing subjects in a particular stressful situation, but there is scarce information on this issue. We then studied, in a normal outbred population of adult male rats (n = 32), the response of well-characterized stress markers (ACTH, corticosterone and prolactin) to different types of stressors: two novel environments (open-field, OF1 and OF2), an elevated platform (EP), forced swim (SWIM) and immobilization (IMO). Based on both plasma ACTH and prolactin levels, the OF1 was the lowest intensity situation, followed by the OF2 and the EP, then SWIM and finally IMO. When correlations between the individual responses to the different stressors were studied, the magnitude of the correlations was most dependent on the similarities in intensity rather than on other characteristics of stressors, with good correlations between similar intensity stressors and no correlations at all were found between stressors markedly differing in intensity. In two additional confirmatory experiments (n = 37 and n = 20) with HPA hormones, we observed good correlation between the response to restraint and IMO, which were close in intensity, and no correlation between OF1 and SWIM. The present results suggest that individual neuroendocrine response to a particular stressor does not predict the response to another stressor greatly differing in intensity, thus precluding characterization of low or high responsive individuals to any stressor in a normal population. The present data have important implications for human studies.Roser Nadal, Marina Gabriel-Salazar, María Sanchís-Ollé, Humberto Gagliano, Xavier Belda, Antonio Armario

A heterozygous MYH7 (c. 2156G > A) mutant human induced pluripotent stem cell line (ZZUNEUi020-A) generated from a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous myocardial disease often caused by sarcomeric gene mutations. MYH7 is one of the most common genes associated with HCM. In this study, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line ZZUNEUi020-A from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a female HCM patient with the p. R719Q (c. 2156G > A) mutation in MYH7. This cell line expressed pluripotency markers, showed normal female karyotype and could differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro.Xiaowei Li, Wanrong Fu, Guangli Guo, Mengduan Liu, Wenting Du, Jing Zhao, Yangyang Liu, Lu Wang, Jianzeng Dong, Xiaoyan Zhao

Estimating the familial risk of psychiatric illnesses: A review of family history scores.
A history of psychiatric illnesses in family members of those diagnosed to have an illness has been of significant interest both in research and in clinical practice. Almost all of the major psychiatric illnesses have a familial component to them, perhaps influenced by genetics and a shared environment or their combination. Systematic attempts have been made to quantify these familial risks, as obtained from family history (FH) of psychiatric illnesses. The methods range from a simple dichotomous or count scores to those quantifying as weighted risks such as the Family history density (FHD) measures. This article reviews the available literature on such FH methods and discusses their advantages and limitations. Validation studies have shown that FHD measures may be preferred over dichotomous measures as indicators of familial risk. However, the FHD method has certain limitations, like mostly relying on categorical diagnosis and ignoring other familial risk factors. By critically analysing various existing density measures based on 'ideal characteristics', we suggest a modified version of FHD that would benefit psychiatric research.Furkhan Ali, Vanteemar S Sreeraj, Ravi Kumar Nadella, Bharath Holla, Jayant Mahadevan, Dhruva Ithal, Srinivas Balachander, Biju Viswanath, Ganesan Venkatasubramanian, John P John, Y C Janardhan Reddy, Sanjeev Jain

Essential roles of insulin and IGF-1 receptors during embryonic lineage development.
The insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors are important for the growth and development of embryonic tissues. To directly define their roles in the maintenance of pluripotency and differentiation of stem cells, we knocked out both the receptors in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). iPSCs lacking both the insulin and IGF-1 receptors (double knock-out, DKO) exhibited preserved pluripotency potential despite decreased expression of the transcription factors, Lin28a and Tbx3, compared to control iPSCs. While embryoid body and teratoma assays revealed an intact ability of DKO iPSCs to form all three germ layers, the latter were composed of primitive neuroectodermal tumor-like cells in the DKO group. RNAseq analyses of control versus DKO iPSCs revealed differential regulation of pluripotency, developmental, E2F1 and apoptosis pathways. Signaling analyses pointed to downregulation of the AKT/mTOR pathway and an upregulation of the Stat3 pathway in DKO iPSCs in the basal state and following stimulation with insulin/IGF-1. Directed differentiation towards the three lineages was dysregulated in DKO iPSCs with significant downregulation of key markers (Cebpα, Fas, Pparγ, Fsp27) in adipocytes and transcription factors (Ngn3, Isl1, Pax6 and Neurod1) in pancreatic endocrine progenitors. Furthermore, differentiated pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells from DKO iPSCs showed increased apoptosis. We conclude that the insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptors are indispensable for normal lineage development and perturbations in the function and signaling of these receptors leads to upregulation of alternative compensatory pathways to maintain pluripotency.Erin R Okawa, Manoj K Gupta, Sevim Kahraman, Praneeth Goli, Masaji Sakaguchi, Jiang Hu, Kaiti Duan, Brittany Slipp, Jochen K Lennerz, Rohit N Kulkarni

Multi-sample mass spectrometry-based approach for discovering injury markers in chronic kidney disease.
Urinary proteomics studies have primarily focused on identifying markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Here, we aimed to determine urinary markers of CKD renal parenchymal injury through proteomics analysis in animal kidney tissues and cells and in the urine of patients with CKD. Label-free quantitative proteomics analysis based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was performed on urine samples obtained from 6 normal controls and 9, 11, and 10 patients with CKD stages 1, 3, and 5, respectively, and on kidney tissue samples from a rat CKD model by 5/6 nephrectomy. Tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomics analysis was performed for primary cultured glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) before and after inducing 24-h hypoxia injury. Upon hierarchical clustering, out of 858 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the urine of CKD patients, the levels of 416 decreased and 403 increased sequentially according to the disease stage, respectively. Among 2965 DEPs across 5/6 nephrectomized and sham-operated rat kidney tissues, 86 DEPs showed same expression patterns in the urine and kidney tissue. After cross-validation with two external animal proteome datasets, 38 DEPs were organized; only 10 DEPs, including serotransferrin, gelsolin, poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1, neuroblast differentiation-associated protein AHNAK, microtubule-associated protein 4, galectin-1, protein S, thymosin beta-4, myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, and vimentin were finalized by screening human GECs and PTECs data. Among these ten potential candidates for universal CKD marker, validation analyses for protein S and galectin-1 were conducted. Galectin-1 was observed to have a significant inverse correlation with renal function as well as higher expression in glomerulus with chronic injury than protein S. This constitutes the first multi-sample proteomics study for identifying key renal-expressed proteins associated with CKD progression. The discovered proteins represent potential markers of chronic renal cell and tissue damage and candidate contributors to CKD pathophysiology.Ji Eun Kim, Dohyun Han, Jin Seon Jeong, Jong Joo Moon, Hyun Kyung Moon, Sunhwa Lee, Yong Chul Kim, Kyung Don Yoo, Jae Wook Lee, Dong Ki Kim, Young Joo Kwon, Yon Su Kim, Seung Hee Yang
