AMPK dysregulation promotes diabetes-related reduction of superoxide and mitochondrial function.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic microvascular complications have been considered to be mediated by a glucose-driven increase in mitochondrial superoxide anion production. Here, we report that superoxide production was reduced in the kidneys of a steptozotocin-induced mouse model of type 1 diabetes, as assessed by in vivo real-time transcutaneous fluorescence, confocal microscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. Reduction of mitochondrial biogenesis and phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) were observed in kidneys from diabetic mice. These observations were consistent with an overall reduction of mitochondrial glucose oxidation. Activity of AMPK, the major energy-sensing enzyme, was reduced in kidneys from both diabetic mice and humans. Mitochondrial biogenesis, PDH activity, and mitochondrial complex activity were rescued by treatment with the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-?-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR). AICAR treatment induced superoxide production and was linked with glomerular matrix and albuminuria reduction in the diabetic kidney. Furthermore, diabetic heterozygous superoxide dismutase 2 (Sod2(+/-)) mice had no evidence of increased renal disease, and Ampka2(-/-) mice had increased albuminuria that was not reduced with AICAR treatment. Reduction of mitochondrial superoxide production with rotenone was sufficient to reduce AMPK phosphorylation in mouse kidneys. Taken together, these results demonstrate that diabetic kidneys have reduced superoxide and mitochondrial biogenesis and activation of AMPK enhances superoxide production and mitochondrial function while reducing disease activity.

Project description:The diabetes medication canagliflozin (Cana) is a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor acting by increasing urinary glucose excretion and thus reducing hyperglycaemia. Cana treatment also reduces body weight. However, it remains unclear whether Cana could directly work on adipose tissue. In the present study, the pharmacological effects of Cana and the associated mechanism were investigated in adipocytes and mice. Stromal-vascular fractions (SVFs) were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue and differentiated into mature adipocytes. Our results show that Cana treatment directly increased cellular energy expenditure of adipocytes by inducing mitochondrial biogenesis independently of SGLT2 inhibition. Along with mitochondrial biogenesis, Cana also increased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation and thermogenesis. Mechanistically, Cana promoted mitochondrial biogenesis and function via an Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) - silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) - peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (Pgc-1α) signalling pathway. Consistently, in vivo study demonstrated that Cana increased AMPK phosphorylation and the expression of Sirt1 and Pgc-1α. The present study reveals a new therapeutic function for Cana in regulating energy homoeostasis.AbbreviationsUcp-1, uncoupling protein 1; cAMP, cyclic adenosine monophosphate; PKA, cAMP-dependent protein kinase A; SGLT, sodium glucose cotransporter; Cana, canagliflozin; T2DM: type 2 diabetes; Veh, vehicle; Pgc-1α, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α; SVFs, stromal-vascular fractions; FBS, bovine serum; Ad, adenovirus; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; COX2, cytochrome oxidase subunit 2; RT-PCR, real-time PCR; SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; Prdm16, PR domain zinc finger protein 16; Cidea, cell death inducing DFFA-like effector A; Pgc-1β, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1β; NRF1, nuclear respiratory factor 1; Tfam, mitochondrial transcription factor A; OXPHOS, oxidative phosphorylation; FAO, fatty acid oxidation; AMPK, Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; p-AMPK, phosphorylated AMPK; Sirt1, silent information regulator 1; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; WAT, white adipose tissue; Fabp4, fatty acid binding protein 4; Lpl, lipoprotein lipase; Slc5a2, solute carrier family 5 member 2; ERRα, oestrogen related receptor α; Uqcrc2, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 2; Uqcrfs1, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, Rieske iron-sulphur polypeptide 1; Cox4, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4; Pparα, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α; NAD+, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; Dio2, iodothyronine deiodinase 2; Tmem26, transmembrane protein 26; Hoxa9, homeobox A9; FCCP, carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone; Rot/AA, rotenone/antimycin A; OCR, oxygen consumption rate; Pparγ, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ; C/ebp, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein; LKB1, liver kinase B1; AUC, area under the cure; Vd, apparent volume of distribution.
