Metabolic control by S6 kinases depends on dietary lipids.

ABSTRACT: Targeted deletion of S6 kinase (S6K) 1 in mice leads to higher energy expenditure and improved glucose metabolism. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling these effects remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we analyze the potential role of dietary lipids in regulating the mTORC1/S6K system. Analysis of S6K phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro showed that dietary lipids activate S6K, and this effect is not dependent upon amino acids. Comparison of male mice lacking S6K1 and 2 (S6K-dko) with wt controls showed that S6K-dko mice are protected against obesity and glucose intolerance induced by a high-fat diet. S6K-dko mice fed a high-fat diet had increased energy expenditure, improved glucose tolerance, lower fat mass gain, and changes in markers of lipid metabolism. Importantly, however, these metabolic phenotypes were dependent upon dietary lipids, with no such effects observed in S6K-dko mice fed a fat-free diet. These changes appear to be mediated via modulation of cellular metabolism in skeletal muscle, as shown by the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism. Taken together, our results suggest that the metabolic functions of S6K in vivo play a key role as a molecular interface connecting dietary lipids to the endogenous control of energy metabolism.

Project description:To determine how changes in lipids, liver enzymes, and inflammatory and glycemia markers intercorrelate during prolonged dietary intervention in obese participants with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D).We examined the dynamics and intercorrelations among changes in biomarkers during the 2-y Dietary Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial (DIRECT) in 322 participants (including 46 with T2D; 52 y of age, body mass index 31 kg/m(2)) throughout rapid weight loss (0-6 mo) and weight-maintenance/regain (7-24 mo) phases.The 2-y increase of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was greater in participants with T2D (+9.41 versus+6.57 mg/dL, P < 0.05), although they tended to have smaller waist circumferences (-2.1 versus -4.0 cm, P = 0.08). In models adjusted for age, sex, and weight loss, the 2-year decrease of triacylglycerols was associated with increases of low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. An increase of apolipoprotein A1 was associated with a decrease in high-sensitive C-reactive protein (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). Exclusively in participants with T2D, the 2-year decrease in triacylglycerols was further correlated with decreases in apolipoprotein B100 and liver enzymes, and a decrease in fasting glucose correlated with decreases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B100, and alanine aminotransferase (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). In the entire group, multivariate models adjusted for age, sex, intervention group, and 6-mo weight loss identified decreased high-sensitive C-reactive protein at 6 mo as an exclusive predictor of a greater decrease in triacylglycerols (? = 0.154, P = 0.008) and a greater increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (? = -0.452, P = 0.005) during the subsequent 18 mo.Long-term dietary intervention induces a flow of changes within biomarkers and the cross-talk is likely to be stronger in T2D. A decrease in systemic inflammation during the weight-loss phase may predict greater long-term improvement in lipids (www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT00160108).
