- Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is controlled by multiple mechanisms, including metabolic, electrophysiological, and second-messenger pathways. To identify insulinotropic small molecules, we performed in silico similarity screening using zatebradine, an HCN-channel ligand, as a structural query and functionally evaluated 26 hit compounds. Compound 2 showed the strongest insulinotropic activity and was used to synthesize the novel compound MDC134. MDC134 enhanced insulin secretion in MIN6-K8 cells and isolated mouse islets under stimulatory glucose conditions. MDC134 enhanced insulin secretion in isolated mouse islets and showed a tendency to increase insulin secretion in isolated non-diabetic human islets. Under high-glucose conditions, MDC134 increased intracellular Ca levels, and nifedipine abolished its insulinotropic effect, indicating the involvement of voltage-dependent L-type Ca channel-mediated Ca influx. MDC134 also increased cellular cAMP content, although less potently than GLP-1. MDC134 treatment did not clearly affect glucose tolerance in C57BL/6J or ob/ob mice but significantly suppressed glucose elevation in β-cell-specific Kcnj11 knockout mice. These findings identify MDC134 as a novel glucose-dependent insulinotropic small molecule that enhances β-cell insulin secretion through Ca influx and cAMP-associated amplification, and suggest that it may be useful for therapeutic strategies for diabetes characterized by impaired insulin secretion. - Source: PubMed

Murao NaoyaTakahashi HarumiYokoi NorihideOkano KentaroOduori Okechi SCarmean Christopher MOgawa WataruSugawara Kenji - Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is caused by pathogenic variants in the KATP channel of the pancreatic β-cell leading to altered insulin secretion. Bi-allelic loss-of-function variants lead to neonatal diabetes mellitus (DM) whereas heterozygous gain-of-function variants lead to congenital hyperinsulinism. Heterozygous loss-of-function variants, however, are suggested to cause a bimodal pattern with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in early life (with an often-mild presentation) and progressing to glucose intolerance in early adulthood. - Source: PubMed

Reunes MichielMatthys ImkeVan Damme Tim - : The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the hierarchical contribution of individual genetic polymorphisms to the variability of autonomic regulation parameters and respiratory function in athletes of different sport specializations using Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) analysis. : The study included athletes divided into two groups: hockey players ( = 48) and martial artists ( = 43). Heart rate variability (LF, HF) parameters and spirometric indices (FEV) were assessed. Genetic analysis included 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): IL6 rs1800795, VDR rs731236, KCNJ11 rs5219, ADRB2 rs1042713, ADRB2 rs1042714, TRHR rs16892496, MSTN rs1805086, UCP3 rs1800849. : In martial artists, the main predictors were genes responsible for adrenoreceptor sensitivity (ADRB2) and neuroimmune interactions (IL6). In hockey players, the most significant predictors were genes involved in muscle growth (MSTN), energy metabolism (UCP3), and neuroendocrine regulation (TRHR). These findings indicate that similar resting HRV parameters in athletes from different sports may be associated with different genetic polymorphisms, reflecting sport-specific physiological adaptations to training loads. : The results highlight the sport-specific nature of genetic determinants of autonomic regulation. In martial artists, genes related to the immuno-adrenergic axis (IL6, ADRB2) appear to play a dominant role, whereas in hockey players neuroendocrine, muscle-metabolic, and mitochondrial factors (TRHR, MSTN, UCP3) demonstrate greater influence. The observed interactions between genotypes and FEV emphasize the importance of transitioning from generalized approaches toward personalized monitoring strategies in sports science. - Source: PubMed
