Potential role of increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) transcription in impaired adipogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: We measured gene expression of paracrine regulators involved in adipocyte differentiation within the stromovascular fraction of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from obese individuals with (n=30) and without (n=18) type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite similar adiposity by design, subjects with T2DM had larger adipocytes (0.92+/-0.28 vs. 0.75+/-0.17 microl, p<0.05) than controls. Gene expression of the adipogenic marker aP2 was lower (0.35+/-0.16 vs. 0.58+/-0.27 arbitrary units, p<0.05) whereas the expression of matricellular peptidase, MMP2 was higher (1.65+/-0.17 vs. 1.27+/-0.21, p=0.02) in T2DM vs. controls. The gene expression levels between the aP2 and MMP2 were inversely correlated (r=-0.32, p=0.03). We conclude that early steps of adipogenesis may be impaired in T2DM independently of obesity due, in part, to an upregulation of the MMP2 transcription.

Project description:SB-3CT, (4-phenoxyphenylsulfonyl)methylthiirane, is a potent, mechanism-based inhibitor of the gelatinase sub-class of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of zinc proteases. The gelatinase MMPs are unusual in that there are several examples where both enantiomers of a racemic inhibitor have comparable inhibitory abilities. SB-3CT is one such example. Here, the inhibition mechanism of the MMP2 gelatinase by the (S)-SB-3CT enantiomer and its oxirane analogue is examined computationally, and compared to the mechanism of (R)-SB-3CT. Inhibition of MMP2 by (R)-SB-3CT was shown previously to involve enzyme-catalyzed C-H deprotonation adjacent to the sulfone, with concomitant opening by ?-elimination of the sulfur of the three-membered thiirane ring. Similarly to the R enantiomer, (S)-SB-3CT was docked into the active site of MMP2, followed by molecular dynamics simulation to prepare the complex for combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. QM/MM calculations with B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) for the QM part (46 atoms) and the AMBER force field for the MM part were used to compare the reaction of (S)-SB-3CT and its oxirane analogue in the active site of MMP2 (9208 atoms). These calculations show that the barrier for the proton abstraction coupled ring opening reaction of (S)-SB-3CT in the MMP2 active site is 4.4 kcal/mol lower than its oxirane analogue, and the ring opening reaction energy of (S)-SB-3CT is only 1.6 kcal/mol less exothermic than its oxirane analogue. Calculations also show that the protonation of the ring-opened products by water is thermodynamically much more favorable for the alkoxide obtained from the oxirane, than for the thiolate obtained from the thiirane. In contrast to (R)-SB-3CT and the R-oxirane analogue, the double bonds of the ring-opened products of (S)-SB-3CT and its S-oxirane analogue have the cis-configuration. Vibrational frequency and intrinsic reaction path calculations on a reduced size QM/MM model (2747 atoms) provide additional insight into the mechanism. These calculations yield 5.9 and 6.7 for the deuterium kinetic isotope effect for C-H bond cleavage in the transition state for the R and S enantiomers of SB-3CT, in good agreement with the experimental results.
