Type-2 diabetes, characterized by aberrant insulin secretion or increased hepatic glucose synthesis, accounts for approximately 90% of diabetes issues. This study explores current molecular and cellular advances related to T2D pathogenesis. Recent research on T2D about intracellular signaling cascades, inflammation, autophagy, genetics, and epigenetic changes is explained discretely. The present review discusses the available antidiabetic therapeutic strategies currently commercialized as well as their limitations that need to be acknowledged. Specifically, the review discusses how nanotechnology-based approaches nullify conventional antidiabetic therapeutics' inadequacy and heterogeneous nanoparticulate systems have been explored in diabetes research, and they're also listed in a tabular format. Furthermore, the research offers many strategic hypotheses as a potential application of nanotechnology in the future to improve the management of type-2 diabetes by developing a targeted nanodelivery system. In particular, attempts have been made to develop new treatment approaches based on nanotechnology that take advantage of autophagy and inflammasome target sites that have been previously identified. An explanation of how a smart targeted nano delivery system can inhibit the Wnt signaling pathway (inhibiting Gsk-3β), inhibit the inflammasome (inhibiting NLRP3), and activate autophagy target points (protecting the Atg3/Atg7 complex from oxidative stress) is provided through graphical description, which may mitigate the severity of type-2 diabetes.
2型糖尿病以胰岛素分泌异常或肝葡萄糖合成增加为特征,约占糖尿病问题的90%。本研究探讨了与2型糖尿病发病机制相关的当前分子和细胞进展。分别解释了最近关于2型糖尿病在细胞内信号级联、炎症、自噬、遗传学和表观遗传变化方面的研究。本综述讨论了目前已商业化的抗糖尿病治疗策略及其需要认识到的局限性。具体而言,该综述讨论了基于纳米技术的方法如何消除传统抗糖尿病治疗方法的不足,以及在糖尿病研究中探索的异质纳米颗粒系统,并以表格形式列出。此外,该研究提出了许多战略假设,作为纳米技术在未来通过开发靶向纳米递送系统改善2型糖尿病管理的潜在应用。特别是,已经尝试基于纳米技术开发新的治疗方法,利用先前确定的自噬和炎性小体靶点。通过图形描述说明了智能靶向纳米递送系统如何抑制Wnt信号通路(抑制Gsk-3β)、抑制炎性小体(抑制NLRP3)和激活自噬靶点(保护Atg3/Atg7复合物免受氧化应激),这可能减轻2型糖尿病的严重程度。
