Treadmill training effect on the myokines content in skeletal muscles of mice with a metabolic disorder model

The effect of treadmill training loads on the content of cytokines in mice skeletal muscles with metabolic disorders induced by a 16 week high fat diet (HFD) was studied. The study included accounting the age and biorhythmological aspects. In the experiment, mice were used at the age of 4 and 32 weeks, by the end of the experiment—respectively 20 and 48 weeks. HFD feeding lasted 16 weeks. Treadmill training were carried out for last 4 weeks six times a week, the duration 60 min and the speed from 15 to 18 m/min. Three modes of loading were applied. The first subgroup was subjected to stress in the morning hours (light phase); the second subgroup was subjected to stress in the evening hours (dark phase); the third subgroup was subjected to loads in the shift mode (the first- and third-weeks treadmill training was used in the morning hours, the second and fourth treadmill training was used in the evening hours). In 20-weekold animals, the exercise effect does not depend on the training regime, however, in 48-week-old animals, the decrease in body weight in mice with the shift training regime was more profound. HFD affected muscle myokine levels. The content of all myokines, except for LIF, decreased, while the concentration of CLCX1 decreased only in young animals in response to HFD. The treadmill training caused multidirectional changes in the concentration of myokines in muscle tissue. The IL-6 content changed most profoundly. These changes were observed in all groups of animals. The changes depended to the greatest extent on the training time scheme. The effect of physical activity on the content of IL-15 in the skeletal muscle tissue was observed mostly in 48-week-old mice. In 20-week-old animals, physical activity led to an increase in the concentration of LIF in muscle tissue when applied under the training during the dark phase or shift training scheme. In the HFD group, this effect was significantly more pronounced. The content of CXCL1 did not change with the use of treadmill training in almost all groups of animals. Physical activity, introduced considering circadian rhythms, is a promising way of influencing metabolic processes both at the cellular and systemic levels, which is important for the search for new ways of correcting metabolic disorders

Association of IL-17A levels with immuneinflammatory profile and structural MRI data in patients with schizophrenia

IL-17A is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in pathogenesis of some neuroinflammatory diseases of the brain. However, its role in schizophrenia is poorly understood. Currently, noninvasive neuroimaging techniques are widely used to assess abnormalities in brain morphology and interactions of neuronal networks in schizophrenia. The aim of this work was to study associations between IL-17A level and brain morphometric parameters in schizophrenia, in order to clarify immune factors of pathogenesis and search for biomarkers of unfavorable disease course. 45 patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy volunteers were included into the study. The levels of cytokines (IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17A) and inflammatory markers were determined by ELISA or multiplex analysis. MRI scans were performed with a Siemens Magnetom Verio 3T MRI scanner. We used Kruskal–Wallis test to assess significant differences in immunological parameters followed by Mann–Whitney paired comparison; Student test to assess the significance of differences in morphometric parameters of the brain; Fisher exact test to assess the differences in discrete variables, with the differences considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. IL-17A levels were found to be increased in schizophrenia. Its elevated content was associated with increased levels of C-reactive protein, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and the presence of morphometric changes of frontal and temporal cortex in the patients. So far, the relationships between IL-17A levels, immunoinflammatory parameters and structural brain changes have not been studied in schizophrenia. In the present work, we found an association of elevated IL-17A levels with decreased cortical thickness in several brain regions, systemic inflammation and activation of Th2-link of adaptive immunity in the patients with schizophrenia. According to the literature, a number of brain areas, where cortical thickness was associated with IL-17A levels may be relevant to pathogenesis of the disease and, in particular, to the development of negative symptoms, including impoverishment of interests, speech, and emotions. The results are important for understanding the role of immune disorders in pathogenesis of schizophrenia, including structural changes of the brain, and suggest that IL-17A may be a biomarker of these disorders. Confirmation of associations between structural neuroimaging findings, laboratory markers of inflammation and immune disorders may provide the basis for new multidisciplinary approaches to the diagnosis and prognosis of schizophrenia

Associations of IL17A G-197A single nucleotide polymorphism with immunological parameters and structural changes of the brain in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that is caused by a complex palette of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. Some of the important components of its pathogenesis are systemic inflammation and the dysfunction of immunity, which lead to neuroinflammation, contributing to development of structural brain changes. Earlier we have shown that increase in interleukin-17A levels is associated with morphometric changes and immune dysregulation in schizophrenia. IL17A G-197A (rs2275913) genetic polymorphism is involved in determining interleukin-17A secretion. The goal of this work was to investigate the associations between rs2275913 polymorphism, immune disorders and structural neurovisualization findings in schizophrenia to provide new insights into the immunopathogenesis of this disease. 60 patients aged 18 to 42 years diagnosed with schizophrenia were enrolled. 85 healthy volunteers were included into the control group. Multiplex assay was used to determine cytokine and chemokine serum levels. Rs2275913 polymorphism was assessed by polymerase chain reaction with electrophoretic detection of amplification products. A number of relationships between rs2275913 polymorphism and the immune parameters in schizophrenia were revealed. Carriers of G allele showed significant increase in IFNY, a key cytokine of Th1-link of adaptive immunity, and IL-8, an inflammatory chemokine. Also, increased levels of CXCL16 were observed in patients carrying the G allele. CXCL16 activates secretion of other proinflammatory chemokines and is involved in activation of Th1 adaptive immunity. Associations of heterozygous GA genotype with reduced cortical thickness in a number of areas of the frontal cortex in schizophrenia were found. Changes in cortical thickness in some of these areas, including middle frontal gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex, can be relevant to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The results highlight the importance of immunogenetic factors in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and indicate that the rs2275913 polymorphism requires further studies as a potential biomarker of immune dysregulation and morphometric brain changes in schizophrenia

Long-term outcomes of combined coronary bypass surgery and carotid endarterectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes

At present, there are no studies on the analysis of the incidence of complications in patients with concomitant lesions of the coronary and internal carotid arteries (ICA) after combined operation of carotid endarterectomy (CE) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) against the background of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, there is no doubt that this condition can be a predictor of cardiovascular and wound complications during in-hospital and long-term postoperative periods.Aim. To study in-hospital and long-term outcomes of combined CABG+CE in patients with and without type 2 diabetes.Material and methods. This multicenter retrospective study for the period from January 2015 to December 2019 included 653 patients with concomitant atherosclerotic lesions of ICA and coronary arteries, who underwent combined CE+CABG. Depending on presence of type 2 diabetes, 2 groups were formed: group 1 (n=183) — patients with type 2 diabetes; group 2 (n=471) — patients without type 2 diabetes. The duration of postoperative follow-up was 37,8±14,9 months.Results. During hospitalization, significant differences in the incidence of death (group 1 =1,1%; group 2 =1,0%; p=0,97), myocardial infarction (MI) (group 1 =1,1%; group 2 =0,8%; p=0,76), bleeding events (group 1 =1,1%; group 2 =0,8%; p=0,76) were not detected. However, stroke (group 1 =3,8%; group 2 =0,4%; p=0,0008), sternal wound infection and mediastinitis (group 1 =3,3%; group 2 =0,2%; p=0,0006) were significantly more often developed in patients with type 2 diabetes.In the long-term follow-up period, death (group 1 =6,6%; group 2 =1,1%; p<0,0001), MI (group 1 =4,9%; group 2 =0,8%; p=0,0008), stroke (group 1 =7,7%; group 2 =1,5%; p<0,0001), ICA restenosis (group 1 =8,8%; group 2 =1,6%; p<0,0001), repeated emergency myocardial revascularization (group 1 =7,2%; group 2 =1,5%; p=0,0002), repeated emergency cerebral revascularization (group 1 =8,8%; group 2 =1,6%; p<0,0001) were significantly more often recorded in patients with type 2 diabetes.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and its comparison using the log rank test revealed that the death, MI, and stroke were also significantly more often observed in patients with type 2 diabetes (p=0,0007, p=0,003, p<0,0001, respectively).Conclusion. Patients with type 2 diabetes who are referred for combined CE+CABG are at an increased risk of stroke, sternal wound infection and mediastinitis in the in-hospital postoperative period, as well as all adverse cardiovascular events in the long-term follow-up period
