To determine the percentages of (CD19+CD24+CD38+, CD19+CD24+CD27+, CD19+IL-10+)-Breg cells, IL-17 single and IL-17+/IFN-γ double producers T cells and IFN-γ+T cells, in normal-glycemic individuals, prediabetes and T2DM patients, and to analyze the association of Breg cells with metabolic parameters of T2DM.

percentages of Breg cells, IL-17+and IL-17+IFN-γ+T cells, IFN-γ+T cells and IL-10 were determined by flow cytometry. IL-6 levels were evaluated by ELISA assay.

increased IL-6 levels, IL-17+and IL-17+IFN-γ+T cells and a diminution of IL-10 levels and CD19+IL-10+cells in T2DM patients were observed. We found that CD19+CD24+CD27+cells and CD19+CD24+CD38+cells were increased in T2DM patients. The percentages of CD19+CD24+CD38+cells were associated with HOMA-B, TyG index, HDL and cholesterol values. In normal-glycemic individuals, CD19+CD24+CD27+cells were inversely associated to triglycerides and TyG index. In prediabetes patients, CD19+CD24+CD38+cells were inversely related with cholesterol and LDL. Finally, CD19+CD24+CD38+cells were inversely related with HDL values in T2DM patients.

Our results suggest that increased percentages of IL-17 single and IL-17/IFN-γ double producers T cells in T2DM patients may be a consequence of the initial CD19+IL-10+cells reduction. Furthermore, dyslipidemia could play an important role in percentages and activity of B regulatory cells.

The disposal of a glucose bolus was studied to identify glucose metabolism in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) during their regular hemodialysis (HD) treatment.

Plasma glucose, insulin, and c-peptide concentrations were measured during a 60min observation phase following a rapid glucose infusion (0.5g/kg dry weight). Glucose disposition and elimination rates were determined from kinetic analysis, and insulinogenic index was calculated. Insulin resistance (R

) was determined by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA).

35 HD patients (14 with T2DM) distinguished by a higher age (median 70 vs. 55 y, p<0.01) in T2DM patients were studied. Glucose kinetic data showed only small differences between patients with or without T2DM, but as R

measured in all patients increased, a larger fraction of glucose was removed by the extracorporeal system (r=0.430, p=0.01). One hour after glucose bolus injection the glucose level was not different from that before HD also in patients with T2DM (p=0.115).

The larger glucose amount recovered in dialysate in patients with increasing R

indicates that impaired glucose disposal could be measured during HD using a non-invasive dialysis quantification approach without blood sampling. Glucose infusion during HD is safe also in patients with T2DM.

Although it has been observed that remote memories are less prone to destabilizing, they can become fragile and lead to behavioural decline. We explored the behavioural outcomes of male and female rats in response to the reactivation of a previously acquired allocentric spatial reference memory, under conditions in which animals have shown a retrieval decay. In addition, we assessed their brain metabolic activity through cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) histochemistry. Our results show that a spatial memory amnesia-like behaviour with a time interval of 45 days can be recovered after re-exposure to the environmental configuration with the reinforced contingencies. Moreover, we observed that, following reactivation, male rats reveal a decrease in metabolic activity in septal nuclei and thalamic structures, whereas female rats add a metabolic reduction in the hippocampus, amygdala, mPFC, and retrosplenial, parietal and rhinal cortices, suggesting that they efficiently employ these brain areas when reactivation a memory that has suffered a decay with time. Finally, although male and female rats perform the behavioural task equally, we found sex differences at the brain metabolism level, revealing the differential contribution of brain limbic system energy demands by sex, even when their performance is similar. In conclusion, our work provides behavioural and brain data about remote spatial retrieval and memory reactivation processes.Because hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channels modulate the excitability of cortical and hippocampal principal neurons, these channels play a key role in the hyperexcitability that occurs during the development of epilepsy after a brain insult, or epileptogenesis. In epileptic rats generated by pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus, HCN channel activity is downregulated by two main mechanisms a hyperpolarizing shift in gating and a decrease in amplitude of the current mediated by HCN channels, Ih. Because these mechanisms are modulated by various phosphorylation signaling pathways, we hypothesized that phosphorylation changes occur at individual HCN channel amino acid residues (phosphosites) during epileptogenesis. We collected CA1 hippocampal tissue from male Sprague Dawley rats made epileptic by pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus, and age-matched naïve controls. We also included resected human brain tissue containing epileptogenic zones (EZs) where seizures arise for comparison to our chronically epileptic rats. After enrichment for HCN1 and HCN2 isoforms by immunoprecipitation and trypsin in-gel digestion, the samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry. We identified numerous phosphosites from HCN1 and HCN2 channels, representing a novel survey of phosphorylation sites within HCN channels. We found high levels of HCN channel phosphosite homology between humans and rats. We also identified a novel HCN1 channel phosphosite S791, which underwent significantly increased phosphorylation during the chronic epilepsy stage. Heterologous expression of a phosphomimetic mutant, S791D, replicated a hyperpolarizing shift in Ih gating seen in neurons from chronically epileptic rats. These results show that HCN1 channel phosphorylation is altered in epilepsy and may be of pathogenic importance.
