Cooperative actions of Tbc1d1 and AS160/Tbc1d4 in GLUT4-trafficking activities.

ABSTRACT: AS160 and Tbc1d1 are key Rab GTPase-activating proteins (RabGAPs) that mediate release of static GLUT4 in response to insulin or exercise-mimetic stimuli, respectively, but their cooperative regulation and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. By employing GLUT4 nanometry with cell-based reconstitution models, we herein analyzed the functional cooperative activities of the RabGAPs. When both RabGAPs are present, Tbc1d1 functionally dominates AS160, and stimuli-inducible GLUT4 release relies on Tbc1d1-evoking proximal stimuli, such as AICAR and intracellular Ca2+ Detailed functional assessments with varying expression ratios revealed that AS160 modulates sensitivity to external stimuli in Tbc1d1-mediated GLUT4 release. For example, Tbc1d1-governed GLUT4 release triggered by Ca2+ plus insulin occurred more efficiently than that in cells with little or no AS160. Series of mutational analyses revealed that these synergizing actions rely on the phosphotyrosine-binding 1 (PTB1) and calmodulin-binding domains of Tbc1d1 as well as key phosphorylation sites of both AS160 (Thr642) and Tbc1d1 (Ser237 and Thr596). Thus, the emerging cooperative governance relying on the multiple regulatory nodes of both Tbc1d1 and AS160, functioning together, plays a key role in properly deciphering biochemical signals into a physical GLUT4 release process in response to insulin, exercise, and the two in combination.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and associated with poor outcome after myocardial infarction (MI). In T2DM, cardiac metabolic flexibility, i.e. the switch between carbohydrates and lipids as energy source, is disturbed. The RabGTPase-activating protein TBC1D4 represents a crucial regulator of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle by controlling glucose transporter GLUT4 translocation. A human loss-of-function mutation in TBC1D4 is associated with impaired glycemic control and elevated T2DM risk. The study's aim was to investigate TBC1D4 function in cardiac substrate metabolism and adaptation to MI.MethodsCardiac glucose metabolism of male Tbc1d4-deficient (D4KO) and wild type (WT) mice was characterized using in vivo [18F]-FDG PET imaging after glucose injection and ex vivo basal/insulin-stimulated [3H]-2-deoxyglucose uptake in left ventricular (LV) papillary muscle. Mice were subjected to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Heart structure and function were analyzed until 3 weeks post-MI using echocardiography, morphometric and ultrastructural analysis of heart sections, complemented by whole heart transcriptome and protein measurements.ResultsTbc1d4-knockout abolished insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in ex vivo LV papillary muscle and in vivo cardiac glucose uptake after glucose injection, accompanied by a marked reduction of GLUT4. Basal cardiac glucose uptake and GLUT1 abundance were not changed compared to WT controls. D4KO mice showed mild impairments in glycemia but normal cardiac function. However, after I/R D4KO mice showed progressively increased LV endsystolic volume and substantially increased infarction area compared to WT controls. Cardiac transcriptome analysis revealed upregulation of the unfolded protein response via ATF4/eIF2α in D4KO mice at baseline. Transmission electron microscopy revealed largely increased extracellular matrix (ECM) area, in line with decreased cardiac expression of matrix metalloproteinases of D4KO mice.ConclusionsTBC1D4 is essential for insulin-stimulated cardiac glucose uptake and metabolic flexibility. Tbc1d4-deficiency results in elevated cardiac endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress response, increased deposition of ECM and aggravated cardiac damage following MI. Hence, impaired TBC1D4 signaling contributes to poor outcome after MI.
