Amylin deposition activates HIF1? and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) signaling in failing hearts of non-human primates.

ABSTRACT: Hyperamylinemia induces amylin aggregation and toxicity in the pancreas and contributes to the development of type-2 diabetes (T2D). Cardiac amylin deposition in patients with obesity and T2D was found to accelerate heart dysfunction. Non-human primates (NHPs) have similar genetic, metabolic, and cardiovascular processes as humans. However, the underlying mechanisms of cardiac amylin in NHPs, particularly related to the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)1? and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) signaling pathways, are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that in NHPs, amylin deposition in heart failure (HF) contributes to cardiac dysfunction via activation of HIF1? and PFKFB3 signaling. This was confirmed in two in vitro cardiomyocyte models. Furthermore, alterations of intracellular Ca²⁺, reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial function, and lactate levels were observed in amylin-treated cells. Our study demonstrates a pathological role for amylin in the activation of HIF1? and PFKFB3 signaling in NHPs with HF, establishing amylin as a promising target for heart disease patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Microglia, the resident macrophages of central nervous system, have been initially categorized into two opposite phenotypes: classical activation related to pro-inflammatory responses and alternative activation corresponding with anti-inflammatory reactions and tissue remodeling. The correlation between metabolic pattern and microglial activation has been identified. However, little is known about the mechanism of metabolism-mediated microglia polarization and pro-inflammatory effect. METHODS:Metabolic alteration was analyzed in different phenotypes of microglia in vitro. LPS-induced neuroinflammation and sickness behavior mouse model was used to investigate the effect of lactate on classical microglial activation in vivo. RESULTS:Glycolysis-related regulators, monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), MCT4, and pro-glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), were specifically increased in LPS-stimulated primary microglia and microglia cell line BV2. Knockdown of MCT1 suppressed glycolysis rate and decreased LPS-induced expression of iNOS, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and phosphorylation of STAT1 in BV2 cells. Importantly, MCT1 promoted PFKFB3 expression via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (Hif-1α), and overexpression of PFKFB3 restored the classical activation of BV2 cells suppressed by MCT1 silence. All above strongly suggested that MCT1/PFKFB3 might accelerate LPS-induced classical polarization of microglia probably by promoting glycolysis. Interestingly, additional administration of moderate lactate, which may block the transport function of MCT1, decreased LPS-induced classical activation and expression of PFKFB3 in BV2 cells. Intracerebroventricular injection of lactate ameliorated LPS-induced sickness behavior and classical polarization of microglia in mice. CONCLUSIONS:Our results demonstrate the key role of MCT1 in microglial classical activation and neuroinflammation in pathological conditions. In addition, lactate administration may be a potential therapy to suppress neuroinflammation by altering microglial polarization.

Project description:BackgroundIn fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency, management aims to prevent hypoglycaemia and lactic acidosis by avoiding prolonged fasting, particularly during febrile illness. Although the need for an emergency regimen to avoid metabolic decompensation is well established at times of illness, there is uncertainty about the need for other dietary management strategies such as sucrose or fructose restriction. We assessed international differences in the dietary management of FBPase deficiency.MethodsA cross-sectional questionnaire (13 questions) was emailed to all members of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) and a wide database of inherited metabolic disorder dietitians.ResultsThirty-six centres reported the dietary prescriptions of 126 patients with FBPase deficiency. Patients' age at questionnaire completion was: 1-10y, 46% (n = 58), 11-16y, 21% (n = 27), and >16y, 33% (n = 41). Diagnostic age was: <1y, 36% (n = 46); 1-10y, 59% (n = 74); 11-16y, 3% (n = 4); and >16y, 2% (n = 2). Seventy-five per cent of centres advocated dietary restrictions. This included restriction of: high sucrose foods only (n = 7 centres, 19%); fruit and sugary foods (n = 4, 11%); fruit, vegetables and sugary foods (n = 13, 36%). Twenty-five per cent of centres (n = 9), advised no dietary restrictions when patients were well. A higher percentage of patients aged >16y rather than ≤16y were prescribed dietary restrictions: patients aged 1-10y, 67% (n = 39/58), 11-16y, 63% (n = 17/27) and >16y, 85% (n = 35/41). Patients classified as having a normal fasting tolerance increased with age from 30% in 1-10y, to 36% in 11-16y, and 58% in >16y, but it was unclear if fasting tolerance was biochemically proven. Twenty centres (56%) routinely prescribed uncooked cornstarch (UCCS) to limit overnight fasting in 47 patients regardless of their actual fasting tolerance (37%). All centres advocated an emergency regimen mainly based on glucose polymer for illness management.ConclusionsAlthough all patients were prescribed an emergency regimen for illness, use of sucrose and fructose restricted diets with UCCS supplementation varied widely. Restrictions did not relax with age. International guidelines are necessary to help direct future dietary management of FBPase deficiency.
