Impaired Detoxification of Trans, Trans-2,4-Decadienal, an Oxidation Product from Omega-6 Fatty Acids, Alters Insulin Signaling, Gluconeogenesis and Promotes Microvascular Disease.

ABSTRACT: Omega-6 fatty acids are the primary polyunsaturated fatty acids in most Western diets, while their role in diabetes remains controversial. Exposure of omega-6 fatty acids to an oxidative environment results in the generation of a highly reactive carbonyl species known as trans, trans-2,4-decadienal (tt-DDE). The timely and efficient detoxification of this metabolite, which has actions comparable to other reactive carbonyl species, such as 4-hydroxynonenal, acrolein, acetaldehyde, and methylglyoxal, is essential for disease prevention. However, the detoxification mechanism for tt-DDE remains elusive. In this study, the enzyme Aldh9a1b is identified as having a key role in the detoxification of tt-DDE. Loss of Aldh9a1b increased tt-DDE levels and resulted in an abnormal retinal vasculature and glucose intolerance in aldh9a1b^-/- zebrafish. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that tt-DDE and aldh9a1b deficiency in larval and adult zebrafish induced insulin resistance and impaired glucose homeostasis. Moreover, alterations in hyaloid vasculature is induced by aldh9a1b knockout or by tt-DDE treatment can be rescued by the insulin receptor sensitizers metformin and rosiglitazone. Collectively, these results demonstrated that tt-DDE is the substrate of Aldh9a1b which causes microvascular damage and impaired glucose metabolism through insulin resistance.

Project description:BackgroundHemozoin is considered a waste byproduct of heme detoxification following hemoglobin digestion; consequently, the biological functions of hemozoin in hemozoin-producing organisms have often been overlooked. However, recent findings indicate that Schistosoma hemozoin facilitates the transfer of iron from erythrocytes to eggs through its formation and degradation, thereby increasing interest in the role of malarial hemozoin.MethodsUsing transmission electron microscopy, we compared the formation of Schistosoma hemozoin and malaria hemozoin. Through transcriptome analysis of different stages of P. falciparum 3D7WT and P. falciparum 3D7C580Y,- where the latter serves as a control with reduced hemozoin production, -we analyzed expression patterns of genes related to DNA synthesis, iron, and heme utilization. Using light microscopy, we observed hemozoin aggregation following artemether treatment, and macrophage morphology after ingesting hemozoin in vivo and in vitro.ResultsSimilar to Schistosoma hemozoin, malaria hemozoin consists of heme aggregation and a lipid matrix, likely involved in lipid processing and the utilization of heme and iron. Transcriptome analysis reveals that during the trophozoite stage, the expression levels of these genes in P. falciparum 3D7WT and P. falciparum 3D7C580Y are higher than those during the schizont stage. Correspondingly, less hemozoin was detected at the trophozoite stage, while more was observed during the schizont stage. These results suggest that when more heme and iron are utilized, less heme is available for hemozoin formation. Conversely, when less heme and iron are utilized, they can accumulate for hemozoin formation during the schizont stage, likely benefiting lipid remodeling. Disruption of heme utilization and hemozoin aggregation may lead to parasite death. In addition, the hemozoin released by schizonts can impair macrophage functions, potentially protecting merozoites from phagocytosis. Furthermore, it may be carried by gametocytes into the next host, fulfilling their requirements for iron and heme during their development in mosquitoes.ConclusionsHemozoin is not a waste byproduct of heme detoxification but instead plays a crucial role in the parasite's life cycle.
