Jhu JY, Fang YW, Huang CY, Liou HH, Chen MT and Tsai MH
Developing a more effective treatment for the global impact of diabetic kidney disease is crucial. This study examined the renoprotective effects of combining glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) compared to SGLT2is alone in type 2 diabetes (DM).
FOSL2 activates TGF-β1-mediated GLUT1/mTOR signaling to promote diabetic kidney disease
He X, Xia M, Ying G, He Q, Chen Z, Liu L, Zhang Q and Cai J
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of kidney failure. FOS-like antigen 2 (FOSL2) has been revealed to be increased in kidney biopsies of patients with lupus nephritis, while its association with DKD remains unsolved. This study aimed to characterize the role of FOSL2 in DKD and its mechanism.

Is glucose-induced hypersecretion of glicentin after the revision surgery using Roux-en-Y gastric bypass related to improved glycemic control due to insulin hypersecretion in a type 2 diabetes patient without diabetes remission after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy?
Yamamoto Y, Sekine O, Ito-Kobayashi J, Nishida A, Togawa T, Ozamoto Y, Oe Y, Hagiwara A, Kobayashi M, Kitamura T, Iwanishi M, Shimatsu A and Kashiwagi A
We report case details of a morbidly obese patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who became a failure of diabetes remission after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). He had a marked improvement of hyperglycemia after the revision surgery using Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), where passage failure of a solid food intake at the gastric angle portion disappeared after the revision surgery. Interestingly, he showed improvements of insulin and a marked glicentin secretions with minor changes in glucagon related peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) secretions in the oral glucose tolerance test OGTT after the RYGB surgery compared with post-LSG. Although a marked increase in glucose-induced glicentin secretion after RYGB surgery with increased insulin secretion, further studies are needed to confirm if the increased glicentin secretion after RYGB surgery is linked to stimulation of insulin secretion.

Toward a cure for diabetes: iPSC and ESC-derived islet cell transplantation trials
Fujikura J, Anazawa T, Toyoda T, Ito R, Kimura Y and Yabe D
Advancements in regenerative medicine, particularly through the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), are garnering substantial attention as potential solutions to the limited availability of donors, leading to prolonged waiting periods for people with type 1 diabetes who require transplantation of pancreatic islets from deceased donors. The promising outcomes from recent clinical trials suggest that transplantation of iPSC- or ESC-derived islet cells could pave the way for more effective and broadly accessible treatment options. This progress holds potential not only for individuals with type 1 diabetes but may also extend to type 2 diabetes treatment in the future.

Hepatokine leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 as a biomarker of insulin resistance, liver enzymes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in the general population
Suzuki K, Tsujiguchi H, Hara A, Takeshita Y, Goto H, Nakano Y, Yamamoto R, Takayama H, Tajima A, Yamashita T, Honda M, Nakamura H and Takamura T
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is an obesity-associated hepatokine that causes skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Since LECT2 is up-regulated by the inactivation of the energy sensor AMPK in the liver, we hypothesized that LECT2 has potential as a biomarker for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Therefore, we investigated whether circulating LECT2 levels are associated with insulin sensitivity, liver enzymes, and MASLD.
Gender-specific genetic influence of rs1111875 on diabetes risk: Insights from the Taiwan biobank study
Chiang CW, Chou YH, Huang CN, Lu WY and Liaw YP
This study investigates the gender-specific genetic influence of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1111875 on diabetes risk within the Taiwanese population using data from the Taiwan Biobank. Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D), is influenced by genetic factors, and the rs1111875 SNP near the hematopoietically expressed homeobox (HHEX) gene has been linked to T2D susceptibility.

Mansoori A, Nosrati M, Dorchin M, Mohammadyari F, Derakhshan-Nezhad E, Ferns G, Esmaily H and Ghayour-Mobarhan M
Gold standard methods of type 2 diabetes mellitus are expensive and therefore not practical for large scale studies in low-income countries. We have investigated the total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and glucose (CHG) index for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus index which is derived from fasting state. In this study we aimed to compare the accuracy of with CHG index and triglycerides (TG) and glucose levels (TyG) as surrogates of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
