Heat Shock-Related Protein Responses and Inflammatory Protein Changes Are Associated with Mild Prolonged Hypoglycemia.

ABSTRACT: Mild hypoglycemia is common in clinical practice. Severe hypoglycemia results in heat shock protein and associate co-chaperone changes. Whether mild prolonged hypoglycemia elicits a similar response with inflammatory and oxidative-stress responses compared with a severe hypoglycemic event is unclear; therefore, this pilot exploratory study was undertaken. We performed a case-control induced hypoglycemia clamp study, maintaining blood glucose at 2.8 mmol/L (50 mg/dL) for 1 h in 17 subjects (T2D (n = 10); controls (n = 7)). Blood sampling was performed at baseline, hypoglycemia, and 24 h; slow off-rate modified aptamer (SOMA)-scan plasma protein analysis of HSP-related proteins, inflammatory stress markers, and oxidative stress markers was performed. In total, 16 HSPs were analyzed. At baseline, TLR4:MD-2 complex was elevated (p = 0.01), whilst HSPA8 was lower (p < 0.05) in T2D. At hypoglycemia, UBE2N, STIP1, and UBE2L3 increased (all p < 0.05), whilst TLR4:MD-2 and HSPA8 decreased (p < 0.05) in T2D versus baseline. In follow-up after hypoglycemia, HSPs normalized to baseline by 24 h, except UBE2L3 (p < 0.05), which was decreased in controls versus baseline. Correlation of altered inflammatory markers with HSPs revealed the following: at baseline, TLR4:MD-2 correlated with CXCL10 (p < 0.01) and SIGLEC1 (p < 0.05) in controls; HSPA8 negatively correlated with IL5 (p < 0.05) in T2D. A negative correlation between urinary isoprostane 8-iso PGF2α, a marker of oxidative stress, and HSPA1A was seen at 24 h in T2D only (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the HSP changes seen for mild prolonged hypoglycemia were similar to those previously reported for a severe event. However, mild prolonged hypoglycemia appeared to elicit an increased inflammatory response that was associated with heat shock and related proteins.

Project description:Heat shock proteins contribute to diabetes-induced complications and are affected by glycemic control. Our hypothesis was that hypoglycemia-induced heat shock and related protein changes would be amplified in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This prospective, case-control study enrolled 23 T2D patients and 23 control subjects who underwent hyperinsulinemic-induced hypoglycemia (≤ 2.0 mmol/L (36 mg/dl)) with blood sampling at baseline, at hypoglycemia and after a 24-h post-hypoglycemia follow-up period. Proteomic analysis of heat shock-related and pro-inflammatory proteins was performed. At baseline, MAPKAPK5 (p = 0.02) and UBE2G2 (p = 0.003) were elevated and STUB1 decreased (p = 0.007) in T2D. At hypoglycemia: PPP3CA (p < 0.03) was increased and EPHA2 (p = 0.01) reduced in T2D; by contrast, three proteins were reduced in controls [HSPA1A (p = 0.007), HSPB1 (p < 0.02), SMAD3 (p = 0.005)] while only MAPKAPK5 was elevated (p = 0.02). In the post-hypoglycemia follow-up period, most proteins normalized to baseline by 24-h; however, STIP1 (p = 0.003), UBE2N (p = 0.004) and UBE2L3 (p < 0.04) were decreased in controls at 24-h. No protein differed from baseline at 24-h in T2D. Pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 increased at 4-h post-hypoglycemia in controls and T2D (p < 0.05 and p < 0.003, respectively) and correlated with HSPA1A; anti-inflammatory IL-10 decreased 2-h post-hypoglycemia in T2D only. Other pro-inflammatory proteins, IL-1α, IFN-γ and TNF-α, were unchanged. Heat shock and related proteins differed at baseline between T2D and controls, with an exaggerated response of heat shock and related proteins to hypoglycemia that returned to baseline, though with changes at 24-h in controls alone. An increase in pro-inflammatory IL-6, with a decrease in anti-inflammatory IL-10, suggests that the HSP system is overactivated due to underlying inflammation in T2D.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03102801.

Project description:The olfactory bulb is one of the most vulnerable brain regions in age-related proteinopathies. Proteinopathic stress is mitigated by the heat shock protein (Hsp) family of chaperones. Here, we describe age-related decreases in Hsc70 in the olfactory bulb of the female rat and higher levels of Hsp70 and Hsp25 in middle and old age than at 2-4 months. To model proteotoxic and oxidative stress in the olfactory bulb, primary olfactory bulb cultures were treated with the proteasome inhibitors lactacystin and MG132 or the pro-oxidant paraquat. Toxin-induced increases were observed in Hsp70, Hsp25, and Hsp32. To determine the functional consequences of the increase in Hsp70, we attenuated Hsp70 activity with two mechanistically distinct inhibitors. The Hsp70 inhibitors greatly potentiated the toxicity of sublethal lactacystin or MG132 but not of paraquat. Although ubiquitinated protein levels were unchanged with aging in vivo or with sublethal MG132 in vitro, there was a large, synergistic increase in ubiquitinated proteins when proteasome and Hsp70 functions were simultaneously inhibited. Our study suggests that olfactory bulb cells rely heavily on Hsp70 chaperones to maintain homeostasis during mild proteotoxic, but not oxidative insults, and that Hsp70 prevents the accrual of ubiquitinated proteins in these cells. The olfactory bulb is affected in the early phases of many age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we described the impact of aging on multiple heat shock proteins (Hsps), such as Hsp70, in the female rat olfactory bulb in vivo. Using multiple proteasome and Hsp70 inhibitors (see schematic), we found that proteotoxicity elicited a compensatory increase in Hsp70 in primary olfactory bulb cells in vitro. Hsp70 then reduced the proteotoxic buildup of ubiquitinated proteins and robustly protected against cell death according to three independent viability assays. Thus, olfactory bulb neurons can mount impressive natural adaptations to proteotoxic injury, perhaps explaining why neurodegenerative disorders are so delayed in onset and so slow to progress.
