Detection of Independent Associations of Plasma Lipidomic Parameters with Insulin Sensitivity Indices Using Data Mining Methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Glucolipotoxicity is a major pathophysiological mechanism in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). We aimed to detect subtle changes in the circulating lipid profile by shotgun lipidomics analyses and to associate them with four different insulin sensitivity indices.

Methods

The cross-sectional study comprised 90 men with a broad range of insulin sensitivity including normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n = 33), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, n = 32) and newly detected T2D (n = 25). Prior to oral glucose challenge plasma was obtained and quantitatively analyzed for 198 lipid molecular species from 13 different lipid classes including triacylglycerls (TAGs), phosphatidylcholine plasmalogen/ether (PC O-s), sphingomyelins (SMs), and lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs). To identify a lipidomic signature of individual insulin sensitivity we applied three data mining approaches, namely least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Random Forests (RF) for the following insulin sensitivity indices: homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), glucose insulin sensitivity index (GSI), insulin sensitivity index (ISI), and disposition index (DI). The LASSO procedure offers a high prediction accuracy and and an easier interpretability than SVR and RF.

Results

After LASSO selection, the plasma lipidome explained 3% (DI) to maximal 53% (HOMA-IR) variability of the sensitivity indexes. Among the lipid species with the highest positive LASSO regression coefficient were TAG 54:2 (HOMA-IR), PC O- 32:0 (GSI), and SM 40:3:1 (ISI). The highest negative regression coefficient was obtained for LPC 22:5 (HOMA-IR), TAG 51:1 (GSI), and TAG 58:6 (ISI).

Conclusion

Although a substantial part of lipid molecular species showed a significant correlation with insulin sensitivity indices we were able to identify a limited number of lipid metabolites of particular importance based on the LASSO approach. These few selected lipids with the closest connection to sensitivity indices may help to further improve disease risk prediction and disease and therapy monitoring.

Project description:ContextA central/visceral fat distribution and excess free fatty acid (FFA) availability are associated with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. However, these two characteristics often coexist, making it difficult to detect the independent contributions of each. Whether FFA suppression is more closely linked to metabolic abnormalities is not clear.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to examine the relationship between FFA suppression, body fat distribution, and fitness as contributors toward insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia.DesignWe measured systemic palmitate turnover using an iv infusion of [9,10-(3)H]palmitate; upper body sc adipose tissue (UBSQ) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and a single-slice abdominal computed tomography scan; fitness with a graded exercise treadmill test; and insulin sensitivity with both the iv glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) (SI(IVGTT)) and mixed meal tolerance test (SI(Meal)).SettingThe study was conducted at a General Clinical Research Center.ParticipantsBaseline data were obtained from 140 elderly adults (age, 60-88 yr; 83 males) and 60 young adults (age, 18-31 yr; 31 males) who participated in a previously published trial assessing the effects of 2-yr supplementation of dehydroepiandrosterone or testosterone on body composition, glucose metabolism, and bone density.InterventionsThere were no interventions.Main outcome measuresWe measured fasting plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations, SI(IVGTT), and SI(Meal).ResultsUsing multivariate regression analysis, the strongest combined predictors of TG concentrations were VAT, postmeal nadir FFA concentrations, sex, and age. The best predictors of SI(IVGTT) were IVGTT nadir palmitate concentration, VAT, UBSQ fat, fitness, and age, whereas the best predictors of SI(Meal) were meal nadir palmitate concentration, UBSQ fat, fitness, and sex.ConclusionsFFA suppression is associated with both fasting TG concentrations and insulin sensitivity, independent of measures of adiposity.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Insulin resistance can be evaluated non-invasively by insulin sensitivity indices (ISI) such as the Mcauley index (MCAi), which is a function of the fasting insulin and triglycerides. Currently, the association between ISIs and ECG findings and all-cause and CV mortality is still not established in a large scale and heterogeneous population.MethodIn a prospective study of the Israel cohort on Glucose Intolerance, Obesity and Hypertension (GOH) second phase (1979-1982) 1830 men and women were followed until December-2016 for CV-mortality and December-2019 for all-cause mortality. ECGs were recorded and OGTTs performed during baseline. ISIs were categorized into quartiles and evaluated against ECG findings and all-cause and CV-mortality.ResultsMean age at baseline was 52.0 ± 8.1 years, and 75 (15.2%) and 47 (25.3%) participants in the upper quartiles (Q2-4) and the lower quartile (Q1) of the MCAi, presented with Ischemic changes on ECG respectively (p = 0.02). Multivariable analysis showed higher odds for ECG ischemic changes, for individuals in Q1-MCAi (adjusted-OR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.02-2.8), compared with Q2-4-MCAi, which attenuated when excluding individuals with diabetes (adjusted-OR = 1.6, 95% CI 0.9-2.7, p = 0.09). Median follow up for all-cause and for cardiovascular mortality was 31 years and 37 years, respectively. Cox proportional-hazards regression showed an increased risk for all-cause mortality for individuals in Q1-MCAi (HR = 1.2, 95% CI 1.02-1.3) as well as an increased risk for CV-mortality (HR = 1.4, 95%CI 1.1-1.8) compared with Q2-4-MCAi. Individuals in Q4-Ln Homeostatic model assessment- Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and Q1- Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) also presented with increased risk for all-cause-mortality (HR = 1.2, 95%CI 1.04-1.4; and HR = 1.2, 95% CI 1.04-1.4, respectively). Other ISIs did not show significant associations with CV-mortality.ConclusionHigher insulin-resistance, according to the MCAi, associated with ECG-changes, and with greater risk for all-cause and CV-mortality over a 40-year follow-up. The MCAi may be considered as an early predictive and prognostic biomarker for CV-morbidity and mortality in adults.

Project description:The ability to predict prediabetes, which affects ∼90 million adults in the US and ∼400 million adults worldwide, would be valuable to public health. Acylcarnitines, fatty acid metabolites, have been associated with type 2 diabetes risk in cross-sectional studies of mostly Caucasian subjects, but prospective studies on their link to prediabetes in diverse populations are lacking. Here, we determined the association of plasma acylcarnitines with incident prediabetes in African Americans and European Americans enrolled in a prospective study. We analyzed 45 acylcarnitines in baseline plasma samples from 70 adults (35 African-American, 35 European-American) with incident prediabetes (progressors) and 70 matched controls (non-progressors) during 5.5-year (mean 2.6 years) follow-up in the Pathobiology of Prediabetes in a Biracial Cohort (POP-ABC) study. Incident prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose/impaired glucose tolerance) was confirmed with OGTT. We measured acylcarnitines using tandem mass spectrometry, insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, and insulin secretion using intravenous glucose tolerance test. The results showed that progressors and non-progressors during POP-ABC study follow-up were concordant for 36 acylcarnitines and discordant for nine others. In logistic regression models, beta-hydroxy butyryl carnitine (C4-OH), 3-hydroxy-isovaleryl carnitine/malonyl carnitine (C5-OH/C3-DC), and octenoyl carnitine (C8:1) were the only significant predictors of incident prediabetes. The combined cut-off plasma levels of <0.03 micromol/L for C4-OH, <0.03 micromol/L for C5-OH/C3-DC, and >0.25 micromol/L for C8:1 acylcarnitines predicted incident prediabetes with 81.9% sensitivity and 65.2% specificity. Thus, circulating levels of one medium-chain and two short-chain acylcarnitines may be sensitive biomarkers for the risk of incident prediabetes among initially normoglycemic individuals with parental history of type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Inhibition of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) has shown efficacy in reducing body weight and improving metabolic parameters, with the effects correlating with target engagement in the brain. Recently, the peripheral effects of inhibiting the CB1 receptor has been appreciated through studies in diet-induced obese and liver-specific CB1 KO mice. In this report, we systematically investigated gene expression changes in peripheral tissues of DIO mice treated with the CB1 inverse agonist AM251. CB1 receptor inhibition led to down-regulation of genes within the de novo fatty acid and cholesterol synthetic pathways, including SREBP-1 and -2, and their downstream targets in both liver and adipose tissue. In addition, genes involved in fatty acid Beta-oxidation were up-regulated with AM251 treatment, probably through the activation of PPARalpha. In adipose tissue, CB1 receptor inhibition led to the down-regulation of genes in the TNFalpha signal transduction pathway and possibly to the activation of PPARgamma, both of which would result in improved insulin sensitivity. CB1-/- mice were obtained from A. Zimmer (University of Bonn) (Zimmer et al., 1999) and back-crossed onto C57BL/6J genetic background for ten generations by A. Zimmer before homozygous CB1-/- mice were re-derived at Taconic Farms (German Town, NY) onto the C57BL/6N genetic background. Male CB1-/- mice and control littermates (n=5-7 in each group) at 2 months of age were fed with regular chow (Teklad 7012, 13 % kcal from fat, 3.41 kcal/g, Harlan Laboratories, Indianapolis, IN, USA) or high fat diet (S3282, 59.4% kcal from fat; 24.5% kcal from carbohydrate; 16.2% kcal from protein; 5.29 kcal/g, Bio-Serv, Frenchtown, NJ, USA) for 14 weeks, and were individually caged 1 week before drug treatment. Vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose) or AM251 (10 mg/kg, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) were dosed by oral gavage at 5:00 PM daily for 2 days. Body weight was measured at 5:00 PM on day 1 and 2, and at 10:00 AM on day 3 before tissue collection. Food was measured at 5:00 PM on day 1 and at 10:00 AM on day 3 before tissue collection. Food intake is calculated as the difference in food weight at the start minus at the end of the study. Mice were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation at 10:00 AM following the second dose.
