Summary
Introduction • Diabetic Neuropathy is a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes.
• People with diabetes can, over time, develop nerve damage throughout the body.

Epidemiology
05/02/2023Diabetic neuropathy4
According to the latest 2014 data from the World Health Organization (WHO),
Globally an estimated 422 million adults are living with diabetes
Expected to rise to 592 million by 2035
Neuropathy affects up to 50% of people with diabetes
Etiology
05/02/2023Diabetic neuropathy5
Hyperglycemia
Polyol pathway
Hexosamine pathway
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC)
Advanced glycation end - product
Increased oxidative stress
Endoplasmic reticulum stress
Mitochondrial dysfunction

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetes Neuropathy
AMPK Signaling
05/02/2023Diabetic neuropathy7
Impaired AMPK signaling under hyperglycemic conditions is cause mitochondrial dysfunction
Reduced Thr172 phosphorylation of AMPK resulted in decreased
mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagosome formation in diabetic
Activation of AMPK enhances SIRT1
It is further enhances the PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis
AMPK decreases the Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB)-directed neuro inflammation

Glucose uptake is insulin-independent in neurons via GLUT 3 glucose transporters
During hyperglycemia, glucose overloads in the neuronal cells
This excess metabolic load increases the oxidative phosphorylation of glucose via
Glycolysis and Krebs cycle which increases the production of reducing equivalents; NAD+/
NADPH ratio
Increased reducing equivalents enhances the excess leakage of electrons across the ETC
That transfers to oxygen molecule to generate superoxides so called ROS.
Further , ROS damages proteins, lipids and nucleic acids
Mitochondrial dysfunction

Mitochondria is a semi autonomous cell organelle
Which synthesize 13 important proteins which composes for ETC components.
Damage to mitochondrial DNA aggravates into abnormal ETC
That alters the mitochondrial potential gradient and decrease ATP production
Further the bio-energetic sensor ; AMPK sensitize towards depleted ATP
And compensate the decreased ATP by generating new mitochondria and removing
damaged cell organelles
Via regulating proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy respectively

Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetes neuropathy is associated with
1. Abnormal autophagic reflex
2. Inadequate mitochondrial biogenesis
Autophagy :
Definition :
Autophagy is a cellular catabolic process meant for recycling of damaged cellular components through lysosomal digestion
• Autophagy is a neuroprotective measure
• Reduce the accumulation of damaged cellular components and protein Aggregates in
neurological disorders

• Reduced formation of autophagosomes under hyperglycaemic conditions
• Due to the reduced expression of LC3B-II and Beclin1.
• Beclin1 with class III PI3K enzyme is helps to formation of phagophore
• And recruitment of other autophagy related proteins
• Such as LC3B-II to the phagophore which leads to formation of autophagosomes
• Autophagy is initiated by the formation of a phagophore around cellular cargo
• The process is called nucleation

•The phagophore may be derived from Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum
•It is formed by the association of Atg 13 and Atg 17 with the help of Atg1
•This step is controlled by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase making the
autophagy susceptible for nutrient availability and stress signals
•The mTOR causes phosphorylation of Atg13, prevents its association with Atg1
•It leads to the Abnormal autophagic reflex and mitochondrial dysfunction
•Thus, autophagy plays a vital role in removal of damaged mitochondrial subunits (mitophagy)
and give a new scope for mitochondrial biogenesis

Mitochondrial Biogenesis :
Definition:-
The process by which cells increase their individual mitochondrial mass and copy number
• Advanced research have been shown decreased mitochondrial biogenesis in Experimental DPN
• Majorly mitochondrial biogenesis was shown regulated via AMPK-SIRT 1- PGC 1 α axis
• Two weeks Treatment with A769662; a selective AMPK activator to STZ induced diabetic animals
• Shown increased mitochondrial biogenesis via enhancing AMPK-SIRT 1- PGC 1 α axis

• PGC 1 α is a transcription co activator of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR-γ )
• Which translocalizes into nucleus and binds with respective DNA transcription element
• And regulates the expressions of nuclear respiratory factor (NRF-1) and Tfam
• NRF-1 and Tfam are transcription factors that encodes for mitochondrial subunits
• Together by adopting all important proteins from nucleus into mitochondria and mitochondrial
encoded proteins contributes for formation of new mitochondria- (mitochondrial biogenesis)

Summary
05/02/2023Diabetic neuropathy16
Impaired AMPK signaling under hyper glycemic conditions is known to cause
Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic sensory neurons.
AMPK activation facilitated the clearance of damaged mitochondria and also enhances the
biogenesis of healthy mitochondria.
By Normalizing the mitochondrial superoxide production, we can reduce the mitochondrial
dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy.
Increased Thr-172 phosphorylation of AMPK results in stimulated PGC-1α-directed
mitochondrial biogenesis
