Estrogen: an emerging regulator of insulin action and mitochondrial function.

ABSTRACT: Clinical trials and animal studies have revealed that loss of circulating estrogen induces rapid changes in whole body metabolism, fat distribution, and insulin action. The metabolic effects of estrogen are mediated primarily by its receptor, estrogen receptor-?; however, the detailed understanding of its mechanisms is incomplete. Recent investigations suggest that estrogen receptor-? elicits the metabolic effects of estrogen by genomic, nongenomic, and mitochondrial mechanisms that regulate insulin signaling, substrate oxidation, and energetics. This paper reviews clinical and experimental studies on the mechanisms of estrogen and the current state of knowledge regarding physiological and pathobiological influences of estrogen on metabolism.

Clinical trials and animal studies have revealed that loss of circulating estrogen induces rapid changes in whole body metabolism, fat distribution, and insulin action. The metabolic effects of estrogen are mediated primarily by its receptor, estrogen receptor-α; however, the detailed understanding of its mechanisms is incomplete. Recent investigations suggest that estrogen receptor-α elicits the metabolic effects of estrogen by genomic, nongenomic, and mitochondrial mechanisms that regulate ins ...[more]

Skeletal muscle action of estrogen receptor ? is critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial function and metabolic homeostasis in females.

Project description:Impaired estrogen receptor ? (ER?) action promotes obesity and metabolic dysfunction in humans and mice; however, the mechanisms underlying these phenotypes remain unknown. Considering that skeletal muscle is a primary tissue responsible for glucose disposal and oxidative metabolism, we established that reduced ER? expression in muscle is associated with glucose intolerance and adiposity in women and female mice. To test this relationship, we generated muscle-specific ER? knockout (MERKO) mice. Impaired glucose homeostasis and increased adiposity were paralleled by diminished muscle oxidative metabolism and bioactive lipid accumulation in MERKO mice. Aberrant mitochondrial morphology, overproduction of reactive oxygen species, and impairment in basal and stress-induced mitochondrial fission dynamics, driven by imbalanced protein kinase A-regulator of calcineurin 1-calcineurin signaling through dynamin-related protein 1, tracked with reduced oxidative metabolism in MERKO muscle. Although muscle mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abundance was similar between the genotypes, ER? deficiency diminished mtDNA turnover by a balanced reduction in mtDNA replication and degradation. Our findings indicate the retention of dysfunctional mitochondria in MERKO muscle and implicate ER? in the preservation of mitochondrial health and insulin sensitivity as a defense against metabolic disease in women.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has divergent, cell type-dependent effects on insulin action.

Project description:The contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction to insulin resistance is a contentious issue in metabolic research. Recent evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction as contributing to multiple forms of insulin resistance. However, some models of mitochondrial dysfunction fail to induce insulin resistance, suggesting greater complexity describes mitochondrial regulation of insulin action. We report that mitochondrial dysfunction is not necessary for cellular models of insulin resistance. However, impairment of mitochondrial function is sufficient for insulin resistance in a cell type-dependent manner, with impaired mitochondrial function inducing insulin resistance in adipocytes, but having no effect, or insulin sensitising effects in hepatocytes. The mechanism of mitochondrial impairment was important in determining the impact on insulin action, but was independent of mitochondrial ROS production. These data can account for opposing findings on this issue and highlight the complexity of mitochondrial regulation of cell type-specific insulin action, which is not described by current reductionist paradigms.

Genetic regulator of mitochondrial metabolism and insulin resistance [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Mitochondrial energy metabolism and function are key processes underlying the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and predisposition to type 2 diabetes. This is because mitochondria produce most of the energy required by the cell. Impaired energy production, use of energy stores and mitochondrial dysfunction are major features in metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, it remains uncertain how mitochondrial dysfunction can cause, contribute to, or result in insulin resistance and metabolic diseases. Furthermore there is growing evidence from genetic and genome wide-association studies that genetic variation in mtDNA contributes to these common metabolic diseases (Wallace, 2005), however there has been essentially no in vivo functional validation for these findings. Therefore we generated a mouse model homozygous for a polymorphism in the Mrpp3 gene identified in the French Canadian population responsible for 22% of mitochondrial epitranscriptome variation, with likely consequences on metabolism. We investigated the in vivo effects of the polymorphism on mitochondrial function and metabolism in mice fed normal and high fat diet. We identify that the polymorphism reduces the efficiency of mitochondrial RNA processing and this is most pronounced in the pancreas that results in insulin resistance. The MRPP3 protein containing the Asn434Ser polymorphism associates specifically with the calcium antiporter LETM1 preventing effective release of calcium from mitochondria and consequently impairs insulin release from the pancreatic islet cells of these mice. Reduction in insulin secretion and enlarged pancreatic islet size results in lower circulating levels of insulin that causes insulin resistance and liver steatosis. Our findings reveal for the first time the link between mitochondrial gene regulation and insulin resistance via calcium signaling.

miRNAs and estrogen action.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, noncoding RNAs that generally base-pair within the 3' untranslated region of target mRNAs causing translational inhibition and/or mRNA degradation. Estradiol (E(2)) and other estrogen receptor (ER) ligands suppress or stimulate miRNA expression in human breast cancer cells, endometrial cells, rat mammary gland, and mouse uterus, and post-translationally regulate protein expression. Aberrant miRNA expression is implicated in estrogen-related breast and endometrial cancers, and several miRNAs downregulate ER?. The role of estrogen-regulated miRNA expression, the target genes of these miRNAs, and the role of miRNAs in health and disease is a 'hot' area of research that will yield new insight into molecular mechanisms of estrogen action.

Hepatic mTORC1 Opposes Impaired Insulin Action to Control Mitochondrial Metabolism in Obesity.

Project description:Dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism during hepatic insulin resistance may contribute to pathophysiologies ranging from elevated glucose production to hepatocellular oxidative stress and inflammation. Given that obesity impairs insulin action but paradoxically activates mTORC1, we tested whether insulin action and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) contribute to altered in vivo hepatic mitochondrial metabolism. Loss of hepatic insulin action for 2 weeks caused increased gluconeogenesis, mitochondrial anaplerosis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle oxidation, and ketogenesis. However, activation of mTORC1, induced by the loss of hepatic Tsc1, suppressed these fluxes. Only glycogen synthesis was impaired by both loss of insulin receptor and mTORC1 activation. Mice with a double knockout of the insulin receptor and Tsc1 had larger livers, hyperglycemia, severely impaired glycogen storage, and suppressed ketogenesis, as compared to those with loss of the liver insulin receptor alone. Thus, activation of hepatic mTORC1 opposes the catabolic effects of impaired insulin action under some nutritional states.

?-Catenin Is a Positive Regulator of Estrogen Receptor-? Function in Breast Cancer Cells.

Project description:Estrogen receptor-alpha (ER?) is a key factor in the development of breast cancer in humans. The expression and activity of ER? is regulated by a multitude of intracellular and extracellular signals. Here we show a cross-talk between ?-catenin and ER? in human breast cancer cells. Knockdown of ?-catenin by RNAi resulted in significant reduction of ER? mRNA and/or protein levels in MCF-7, T-47D, and BT-474 breast cancer cells and in significant reduction of estradiol-induced expression of the ER? target genes pS2 and GREB1. In addition ?-catenin silencing resulted in significant decrease of growth of MCF-7 cells both in the absence and presence of estradiol. ?-catenin and ER? could not be co-immunoprecipitated by ER? antibodies from lysates of E2-treated or untreated cells suggesting lack of direct physical interaction. It is concluded that ?-catenin is a positive regulator of ER? mRNA and protein expression.
