Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Reduces Hyperglycemia-Induced Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Production and Promotes Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: Results suggest that metformin normalizes hyperglycemia-induced mtROS production by induction of MnSOD and promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis through the activation of AMPK-PGC-1alpha pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive Oxygen Species from Mitochondria Induce Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Expression in Human Mesangial Cells: Potential Role in Diabetic Nephropathy

TL;DR: The results suggest that hyperglycemia increases mitochondrial ROS production, resulting in NF-kappaB activation, COx-2 mRNA induction, COX-2 protein production, and PGE2 synthesis, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase Suppresses Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation Through the Inhibition of Cell Cycle Progression

TL;DR: The data suggest for the first time that AMPK suppresses VSMC proliferation via cell cycle regulation by p53 upregulation and AMPK activation in VSMCs may be a therapoietic target for the prevention of vascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statins Activate Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Through Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Dependent Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Macrophages

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that statins inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor α or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA expression, and these effects by statins were abrogated by the PPARγ antagonist T0070907 or by small interfering RNA of PPARβ or PPARα.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxy-guanosine as a novel biomarker of macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Hyperglycemia independently increases 8-OHdG in patients with type 2 diabetes, and this biomarker is a useful biomarker of not only microvascular but also macrovascular complications in Patients withType 2 diabetes.
