Obese dogs with and without obesity-related metabolic dysfunction - a proteomic approach.

ABSTRACT: Approximately 20 % of obese dogs have metabolic disturbances similar to those observed in human metabolic syndrome, a condition known as obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. This condition is associated with insulin resistance and decreased circulating adiponectin concentrations, but clinical consequences have not been reported. In order to define better the metabolic changes associated with obesity-related metabolic dysfunction (ORMD), we compared the plasma proteomes of obese dogs with and without ORMD. A proteomic analysis was conducted on plasma samples from 8 obese male dogs, 4 with ORMD and 4 without ORMD. The samples were first treated for the depletion of high-abundance proteins and subsequently analysed by using 2-DE DIGE methodology.Using mass spectrometry, 12 proteins were identified: albumin, apoliprotein A-I, C2, C3, C5, C4BPA, A2M, Uncharacterised protein (Fragment) OS?=?Canis familiaris, fibrinogen, IGJ, ITIH2, and glutathione peroxidase. In obese dogs with ORMD, the relative amounts of ten proteins (albumin, apoliprotein A-I, C2, C3, C5, C4BPA, A2M, Uncharacterised protein (Fragment) OS?=?Canis familiaris, fibrinogen, and ITIH2) were increased and two proteins (IGJ and glutathione peroxidase) were decreased, compared with obese dogs without ORMD. Specific assays were then used to confirm differences in serum albumin, apoliprotein A-I and glutathione peroxidase in a separate group of 20 overweight dogs, 8 with ORMD and 12 without ORMD.The current study provides evidence that, in obese dogs with ORMD, there are changes in expression of proteins involved in lipid metabolism, immune response, and antioxidant status. The clinical significance of these changes remains to be defined.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate physiological phenotypes of asthma in obesity.Research questionDo physiological responses during bronchoconstriction distinguish different groups of asthma in people with obesity, and also differentiate from responses simply related to obesity?Study design and methodsCross-sectional study of people with obesity (31 with asthma and 22 without lung disease). Participants underwent methacholine challenge testing with measurement of spirometry and respiratory system impedance by oscillometry.ResultsParticipants had class III obesity (BMI, 46.7 ± 6.6 kg/m2 in control subjects and 47.2 ± 8.2 kg/m2 in people with asthma). Most participants had significant changes in peripheral airway impedance in response to methacholine: in control subjects, resistance at 5 Hz measured by oscillometry increased by 45% ± 27% and area under the reactance curve (AX) by 268% ± 236% in response to 16 mg/mL methacholine; in people with asthma, resistance at 5 Hz measured by oscillometry increased by 52% ± 38% and AX by 361% ± 295% in response to provocation concentration producing a 20% fall in FEV1 dose of methacholine. These responses suggest that obesity predisposes to peripheral airway reactivity. Two distinct groups of asthma emerged based on respiratory system impedance: one with lower reactance (baseline AX, 11.8; interquartile range, 9.9-23.4 cm H2O/L) and more concordant bronchoconstriction in central and peripheral airways; the other with high reactance (baseline AX, 46.7; interquartile range, 23.2-53.7 cm H2O/L) and discordant bronchoconstriction responses in central and peripheral airways. The high reactance asthma group included only women, and reported significantly more gastroesophageal reflux disease, worse chest tightness, more wheeze, and more asthma exacerbations than the low reactance group.InterpretationPeripheral airway reactivity detected by oscillometry is common in obese control subjects and obese people with asthma. There is a subgroup of obese asthma characterized by significant peripheral airway dysfunction by oscillometry out of proportion to spirometric airway dysfunction. This peripheral dysfunction represents clinically significant respiratory disease not readily assessed by spirometry.
