Sodium Butyrate-Modulated Mitochondrial Function in High-Insulin Induced HepG2 Cell Dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: The liver plays a pivotal role in maintaining euglycemia. Biogenesis and function of mitochondria within hepatocytes are often the first to be damaged in a diabetic population, and restoring its function is recently believed to be a promising strategy on inhibiting the progression of diabetes. Previously, we demonstrated that the gut microbiota metabolite butyrate could reduce hyperglycemia and modulate the metabolism of glycogen in both db/db mice and HepG2 cells. To further explore the mechanism of butyrate in controlling energy metabolism, we investigated its influence and underlying mechanism on the biogenesis and function of mitochondria within high insulin-induced hepatocytes in this study. We found that butyrate significantly modulated the expression of 54 genes participating in mitochondrial energy metabolism by a PCR array kit, both the content of mitochondrial DNA and production of ATP were enhanced, expressions of histone deacetylases 3 and 4 were inhibited, beta-oxidation of fatty acids was increased, and oxidative stress damage was ameliorated at the same time. A mechanism study showed that expression of GPR43 and its downstream protein beta-arrestin2 was increased on butyrate administration and that activation of Akt was inhibited, while the AMPK-PGC-1alpha signaling pathway and expression of p-GSK3 were enhanced. In conclusion, we found in the present study that butyrate could significantly promote biogenesis and function of mitochondria under high insulin circumstances, and the GPR43-?-arrestin2-AMPK-PGC1-alpha signaling pathway contributed to these effects. Our present findings will bring new insight on the pivotal role of metabolites from microbiota on maintaining euglycemia in diabetic population.

Project description:BackgroundFatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS), a fatty liver disease in laying hens, poses a grave threat to the layer industry, stemming from its ability to trigger an alarming plummet in egg production and usher in acute mortality among laying hens. Increasing evidence suggests that the onset and progression of fatty liver was closely related to mitochondria dysfunction. Sodium butyrate was demonstrated to modulate hepatic lipid metabolism, alleviate oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro and mice models. Nevertheless, there is limited existing research on coated sodium butyrate (CSB) to prevent FLHS in laying hens, and whether and how CSB exerts the anti-FLHS effect still needs to be explored. In this experiment, the FLHS model was induced by administering a high-energy low-protein (HELP) diet in laying hens. The objective was to investigate the effects of CSB on alleviating FLHS with a focus on the role of CSB in modulating mitochondrial function.MethodsA total of 288 healthy 28-week-old Huafeng laying hens were arbitrarily allocated into 4 groups with 6 replicates each, namely, the CON group (normal diet), HELP group (HELP diet), CH500 group (500 mg/kg CSB added to HELP diet) and CH750 group (750 mg/kg CSB added to HELP diet). The duration of the trial encompassed a period of 10 weeks.ResultsThe result revealed that CSB ameliorated the HELP-induced FLHS by improving hepatic steatosis and pathological damage, reducing the gene levels of fatty acid synthesis, and promoting the mRNA levels of key enzymes of fatty acid catabolism. CSB reduced oxidative stress induced by the HELP diet, upregulated the activity of GSH-Px and SOD, and decreased the content of MDA and ROS. CSB also mitigated the HELP diet-induced inflammatory response by blocking TNF-α, IL-1β, and F4/80. In addition, dietary CSB supplementation attenuated HELP-induced activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), mitochondrial damage, and decline of ATPase activity. HELP diet decreased the autophagosome formation, and downregulated LC3B but upregulated p62 protein expression, which CSB administration reversed. CSB reduced HELP-induced apoptosis, as indicated by decreases in the Bax/Bcl-2, Caspase-9, Caspase-3, and Cyt C expression levels.ConclusionsDietary CSB could ameliorate HELP diet-induced hepatic dysfunction via modulating mitochondrial dynamics, autophagy, and apoptosis in laying hens. Consequently, CSB, as a feed additive, exhibited the capacity to prevent FLHS by modulating autophagy and lipid metabolism.

Project description:Obesity is often associated with reduced plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and cardiac dysfunction. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of IGF-1 on high-fat diet-induced oxidative, myocardial, geometric, and mitochondrial responses. FVB and cardiomyocyte-specific IGF-1 overexpression transgenic mice were fed a low- (10%) or high-fat (45%) diet to induce obesity. High-fat diet feeding led to glucose intolerance, elevated plasma levels of leptin, interleukin 6, insulin, and triglyceride, as well as reduced circulating IGF-1 levels. Echocardiography revealed reduced fractional shortening, increased end-systolic and end-diastolic diameter, increased wall thickness, and cardiac hypertrophy in high-fat-fed FVB mice. High-fat diet promoted reactive oxygen species generation, apoptosis, protein and mitochondrial damage, reduced ATP content, cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area, contractile and intracellular Ca(2+) dysregulation (including depressed peak shortening and maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening), prolonged duration of relengthening, and dampened intracellular Ca(2+) rise and clearance. Western blot analysis revealed disrupted phosphorylation of insulin receptor and postreceptor signaling molecules insulin receptor substrate 1 (tyrosine/serine phosphorylation), Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3?, forkhead transcriptional factors, and mammalian target of rapamycin, as well as downregulated expression of mitochondrial proteins peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? coactivator 1? and uncoupling protein 2. Intriguingly, IGF-1 mitigated high-fat-diet feeding-induced alterations in reactive oxygen species, protein and mitochondrial damage, ATP content, apoptosis, myocardial contraction, intracellular Ca(2+) handling, and insulin signaling but not whole body glucose intolerance and cardiac hypertrophy. Exogenous IGF-1 treatment also alleviated high-fat diet-induced cardiac dysfunction. Our data revealed that IGF-1 alleviates high-fat diet-induced cardiac dysfunction despite persistent cardiac remodeling, possibly because of preserved cell survival, mitochondrial function, and insulin signaling.
