    This study addressed the hypothesis that inhibiting the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)-mediated degradation of epoxy-fatty acids, notably epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, has an additional impact against cardiovascular damage in type 2 diabetes, beyond its previously demonstrated beneficial effect on glucose homeostasis. The cardiovascular and metabolic effects of the sEH inhibitor t- AUCB (10 mg/l in drinking water) were compared to those of the sulfonylurea glibenclamide (80 mg/l), both administered for 8 weeks in FVB mice subjected to a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat) for 16 weeks. Mice on control chow diet (10% fat) and non-treated HFD mice served as controls. Glibenclamide and t-AUCB similarly prevented the increased fasting glycemia in HFD mice but only t-AUCB improved glucose tolerance and decreased gluconeogenesis, without modifying weight gain. Moreover, t-AUCB reduced adipose tissue inflammation, plasma free fatty acids and LDL cholesterol, and prevented hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, only the sEH inhibitor improved endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine, assessed by myography in isolated coronary arteries. This improvement was related to a restoration of epoxyeicosatrienoic acid and nitric oxide pathways, as shown by the increased inhibitory effects of the NO-synthase and cytochrome P450 epoxygenase inhibitors, L-NA and MSPPOH, on these relaxations. Moreover, t-AUCB decreased cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and inflammation, and improved diastolic function, as demonstrated by the increased E/A ratio (echocardiography) and decreased slope of the enddiastolic pressure-volume relation (invasive hemodynamics). These results demonstrate that she inhibition improves coronary endothelial function and prevents cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction in obese type 2 diabetic miceLe diabète de type 2 est une pathologie chronique complexe associant une altération de sécrétion de l'insuline par le pancréas et une résistance à l'insuline au niveau des tissus périphériques, notamment au niveau du foie et du muscle squelettique. Son origine est multifactorielle, alliant des anomalies génétiques et environnementales, en particulier nutritionnelles. Un des mécanismes par lesquels les facteurs nutritionnels (comme les glucides et les lipides en excès) contribuent au développement du diabète et à son aggravation est la glucolipotoxicité. En effet, l'élévation de la glycémie et des lipides plasmatiques, ainsi que l'accumulation ectopique de lipides dans les tissus, participent au développement de l'insulinorésistance hépatique et musculaire et aux dysfonctions des cellules bêta, en partie via l'induction d'un stress métabolique, impliquant notamment le stress oxydant, le stress du réticulum endoplasmique (RE) et la perturbation de l'homéostasie calcique. Nous avons étudié les effets de la glucotoxicité et de la lipotoxicité dans les cellules bêta pancréatiques et les mécanismes impliqués. Nous nous sommes aussi intéressés à des traitements potentiellement protecteurs de la fonction bêta-pancréatique. Nous avons fait l'hypothèse que les effets bénéfiques de l'inhibition du système rénine-angiotensine sur l'incidence du diabète de type 2 chez l'homme étaient médiés par une action directe sur les cellules bêta. Nos résultats montrent que le glucose chronique à une dose élevée entraine une réduction de la sécrétion d'insuline des cellules bêta des îlots de Langerhans humains par une action conjointe sur le stress du RE, le stress oxydant et l'homéostasie calcique. L'inhibition du SRA a permis de restaurer cette fonction grâce notamment à une action inhibitrice sur la voie Phospholipase C-IP3-Calciu

    As shown in a large clinical prospective trial, inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals. We evaluated the beneficial effects of RAS inhibition on β-cell function under glucotoxic conditions. Human islets from 13 donors were cultured in 5.5 mM (controls) or 16.7 mM glucose [high glucose (HG)] for 4 d with or without losartan (5 μM), a selective AT1R blocker, and/or U73122 (2 μM), a selective PLC inhibitor, during the last 2 d. HG induced RAS activation with overexpression of AT1R (P<0.05) and angiotensinogen (P<0.001) mRNAs. HG increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers (P<0.001) such as GRP78, sXBP1, and ATF4 mRNAs and Grp78 protein levels (P<0.01). HG also decreased reticular calcium concentration (P<0.0001) and modified protein expressions of ER calcium pumps with reduction of SERCA2b (P<0.01) and increase of IP3R2 (P<0.05). Losartan prevented these deleterious effects and was associated with improved insulin secretion despite HG exposure. AT1R activation triggers the PLC-IP3-calcium pathway. Losartan prevented the increase of PLC β1 and γ1 protein levels induced by HG (P<0.05). U73122 reproduced all the protective effects of losartan. AT1R blockade protects human islets from the deleterious effects of glucose through inhibition of the PLC-IP3-calcium pathway

    International audienceThis study addressed the hypothesis that inhibiting the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)-mediated degradation of epoxy-fatty acids, notably epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, has an additional impact against cardiovascular damage in insulin resistance, beyond its previously demonstrated beneficial effect on glucose homeostasis. The cardiovascular and metabolic effects of the sEH inhibitor trans-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-cyclohexyloxy]-benzoic acid (t-AUCB; 10 mg/l in drinking water) were compared with those of the sulfonylurea glibenclamide (80 mg/l), both administered for 8 wk in FVB mice subjected to a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% fat) for 16 wk. Mice on control chow diet (10% fat) and nontreated HFD mice served as controls. Glibenclamide and t-AUCB similarly prevented the increased fasting glycemia in HFD mice, but only t-AUCB improved glucose tolerance and decreased gluconeogenesis, without modifying weight gain. Moreover, t-AUCB reduced adipose tissue inflammation, plasma free fatty acids, and LDL cholesterol and prevented hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, only the sEH inhibitor improved endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine, assessed by myography in isolated coronary arteries. This improvement was related to a restoration of epoxyeicosatrienoic acid and nitric oxide pathways, as shown by the increased inhibitory effects of the nitric oxide synthase and cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase inhibitors-NA and MSPPOH on these relaxations. Moreover, t-AUCB decreased cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammation and improved diastolic function, as demonstrated by the increased E/A ratio (echocardiography) and decreased slope of the end-diastolic pressure-volume relation (invasive hemodynamics).
