Shrnutí:Hypoglycemia is a commonly neglected complication in elderly diabetic patients, which can lead to cardiovascular events. Endothelial cell dysfunction is the primary inducer of cardiovascular events, and it is associated with hypoglycemia‐triggered cytokine release and inflammatory programmed cell death. A comprehensive understanding of lineage‐specific variations in pathological vascular changes is essential to mitigate cardiovascular events and ensure therapeutic efficacy. Herein, unbiased clustering analyses and single‐nucleus RNA sequencing are performed on cells of the thoracic aorta in db/db and insulin‐induced hypoglycemic db/db mice. Comparative analyses show changes in lineage‐specific genes, subpopulation composition, intercellular communication, and molecular biology in hypoglycemic diabetic mice. The analyses also revealed the changes of different cells, particularly endothelial cell PANoptosis, macrophage inflammatory polarization, and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) fibrosis. Pseudo‐time sequencing, differential expression, and regulation network analyses revealed the association of potential hub genes Klf2, ETS2, Elavl1, C3, and Nr4a1 with the mentioned pathological processes. It is demonstrated that hypoglycemia induces VSMC fibrosis in vivo, whereas Angptl4 knockdown can attenuate VSMC fibrosis in vitro. These findings demonstrate the hypoglycemic macroangiopathy mechanism and provide important references for future disease intervention and treatment. This study investigates hypoglycemia‐induced diabetic macrovascular endothelial dysfunction. It reveals that hypoglycemia triggers ZBP1‐dependent PANoptosis of endothelial cells, proinflammatory polarization of macrophages, and fibrosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in diabetic mice. Key regulators are identified, with ANGPTL4 validated as a pro‐fibrotic activator. The findings elucidate cellular mechanisms and offer therapeutic insights for hypoglycemia‐related cardiovascular events.
