Salivary Transcriptomic Biomarkers for Insulin Resistance

ABSTRACT: We have performed gene expression microarray analysis to profile transcriptomic signatures between insulin resistance high risk subjects and insulin resistance low risk subjects Participants enrolled in this study were recruited in the overnight fasted state, then the collection and processing of glucose (fasting, 30, 60 and 120 minutes) and insulin from blood samples, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) , assessment of medical history, socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, blood pressure and anthropometric and body composition measurements were conducted. During baseline visit, participants were asked to refrain from eating, drinking and oral hygiene procedures for at least 1-hour prior to saliva collection.5 ml of unstimulated whole saliva samples were consistently collected, stabilized and preserved, the sample supernatants were reserved at -80°C prior to assay. Based on the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), using the formula [HOMA-IR= (fasting glucose*fasting insulin)/405], participants were divided into 2 groups: IR high risk group (HOMA-IR value ?2.5) and IR low risk group (HOMA-IR value <2.5). Total RNA was extracted from saliva and subjected to gene expression microarray analysis using Affymetrix human genome 2.0 plus array

Project description:The obese, insulin resistant state is characterized by impairments in lipid metabolism. Dietary polyphenols might improve these deteriorations. We have previously shown that 3-days supplementation of combined Epigallocatechin-gallate and Resveratrol (E+R) increased energy expenditure, which was accompanied by improved metabolic flexibility after a high-fat mixed-meal (HFMM) in men. The present study aimed to investigate whether these short-term effects translate into longer-term improvement of insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism. In this randomized, double-blind study, 42 overweight subjects (21 male, 38Â±2 yrs, BMI 29.7Â±0.5 kg/m2, HOMA-IR 2.1Â±0.2) received either E+R (300 and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA) for 12 weeks (3 months). Before (t0) and after (t3) intervention, tissue-specific insulin sensitivity was assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with stable isotope infusion. Fasting and postprandial (HFMM) lipid metabolism was assessed using indirect calorimetry and blood sampling. Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle lipolysis was measured using microdialysis in men and skeletal muscle biopsies were collected to assess mitochondrial function and gene expression alterations via microarray analysis. E+R supplementation increased fasting (P=0.06) and postprandial (P=0.03) fat oxidation but did not alter energy expenditure compared to PLA. This was accompanied by an E+R-induced increase in oxidative capacity in permeabilized muscle fibers (p<0.05). Moreover, E+R supplementation attenuated the increase in plasma triacylglycerol concentration that was observed in the PLA group (AUC, p<0.05), and tended to decrease visceral fat mass (P=0.09). Finally, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal and suppression of endogenous glucose production were not affected by E+R supplementation. 12 weeks E+R supplementation increased whole-body fat oxidation and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, but this did not translate into increased tissue-specific insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese subjects. To identify pathways that may underlie the E+R-induced improvement of skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity, we performed microarray analysis on skeletal muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis muscle), collected before and after 12-weeks E+R or PLA treatment. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) indicated that the most upregulated pathways after E+R supplementation were related to the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport chain, while pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism were upregulated in the PLA group. In this randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel intervention trial, subjects received either a combination of E+R supplements (INTV, 282 mg/d and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA, partly hydrolyzed microcrystalline cellulose-filled capsules) for a period of 12 weeks (3 months) to assess effects of E+R supplementation on tissue-specific insulin sensitivity (primary outcomes) and fasting and postprandial substrate metabolism (secondary outcomes). Skeletal muscle (m. vastus lateralis) biopsies were taken under local anesthesia during fasting conditions before (t0) and after the 12-weeks (t3) intervention period. Extraxted RNA was hybridized on HTA 2.0 Affymetrix arrays and microarray analysis was performed on paired sample sets for 27 subjects (p, PLA n = 14; E+R n = 13).

Project description:Background: Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, potential sex divergence and the underlying mechanisms remain understudied. iAs is not metabolized uniformly across species, which is a limitation of typical exposure studies in rodent models. The development of a new “humanized” mouse model overcomes this limitation. In this study, we leverage this model to study sex differences in the context of iAs exposure. Objectives: The aim of this study iwas to determine if males and females exhibit different liver and adipose molecular profiles and metabolic phenotypes in the context of iAs exposure. Methods: Our study was performed on wild-type (WT) 129S6/SvEvTac and humanized arsenic +3 methyl transferase (human AS3MT) 129S6/SvEvTac mice treated with 400 ppb of iAs via drinking water ad libitum. After 1 month, mice were sacrificed and the liver and epididymales gonadal adipose depot were harvested for iAs quantification as well as sequencing-based microRNA and gene expression analysis. Serum blood was collected for fasting blood glucose, fasting plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR. Results: We detected sex divergence in liver and adipose markers of diabetes (e.g., insulin signaling pathways, fasting blood glucose, fasting plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR) only in humanized (not WT) male mice. In humanized female mice, numerous genes that promote insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in both the liver and adipose are elevated compared to humanized male mice. We also identified Klf11 as a putative master regulator of the sex divergence in gene expression in humanized mice. Discussion: Our study underscoreds the importance of future studies leveraging the humanized mouse model to study iAs-associated metabolic disease. The findings also suggest suggested that humanized females are protected from metabolic dysfunction relative to humanized males in the context of iAs exposure. Future investigations should focus on the detailed mechanisms that underlie the sex divergence, including the potential role of miR-34a and/or Klf11.
