Loss of renal olfactory receptor 1393 leads to improved glucose homeostasis in a type 1 diabetic mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Renal olfactory receptor 1393 (Olfr1393) is an understudied sensory receptor that contributes to glucose handling in the proximal tubule. Our previous studies have indicated that this receptor may serve as a regulator of the sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) and contributes to the development of glucose intolerance and hyperfiltration in the setting of diet-induced obesity. We hypothesized that Olfr1393 may have a similar function in Type 1 Diabetes. Using Olfr1393 wildtype (WT) and knockout (KO) mice along with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce pancreatic β-cell depletion, we tracked the development and progression of diabetes over 12 weeks. Here we report that diabetic male Olfr1393 KO mice have a significant improvement in hyperglycemia and glucose tolerance, despite remaining susceptible to STZ. We also confirm that Olfr1393 localizes to the renal proximal tubule, and have uncovered additional expression within the glomerulus. Collectively, these data indicate that loss of renal Olfr1393 affords protection from STZ-induced type 1 diabetes and may be a general regulator of glucose handling in both health and disease.

FX5 as a non-steroidal GR antagonist improved glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetic mice via GR/HNF4α/miR-122-5p pathway.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by glucose metabolic disorders, and gluconeogenesis inhibiting is a promisingly therapeutic strategy for T2DM. Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is tightly implicated in the regulation of gluconeogenesis, although the underlying mechanism remains obscure. Here, we discovered that small molecule, 5-chloro-N-[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiophene-2-sulfonamide (FX5) as a new non-steroidal GR antagonist efficiently ameliorated glucose homeostasis in db/db and HFD/STZ-induced T2DM mice. The mechanism underlying the suppression of FX5 against gluconeogenesis was highly investigated. FX5 suppressed gluconeogenetic genes G6Pase and PEPCK in mouse primary hepatocytes and liver tissues of T2DM mice. Results of mammalian one-hybrid and transactivation as well as nuclear translocation assays totally evaluated the antagonistic features of FX5 against GR. Moreover, siRNA and overexpression related assays verified that FX5 alleviated gluconeogenesis either directly by antagonizing GR or indirectly through GR/HNF4α/miR122-5p signaling pathway. Our work has presented a new mode for GR antagonist in the regulation of gluconeogenesis, which is expected to highlight the potential of FX5 in the treatment of T2DM.

Improved β-cell function leads to improved glucose tolerance in a transgenic mouse expressing lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes.

Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes the triglyceride core of lipoproteins and also functions as a bridge, allowing for lipoprotein and cholesterol uptake. Transgenic mice expressing LPL in adipose tissue under the control of the adiponectin promoter (AdipoQ-LPL) have improved glucose metabolism when challenged with a high fat diet. Here, we studied the transcriptional response of the adipose tissue of these mice to acute high fat diet exposure. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) provided mechanistic insight into the improved metabolic phenotype of AdipoQ-LPL mice. First, the cholesterol homeostasis pathway, which is controlled by the SREBP2 transcription factor, is repressed in gonadal adipose tissue AdipoQ-LPL mice. Furthermore, we identified SND1 as a link between SREBP2 and CCL19, an inflammatory chemokine that is reduced in AdipoQ-LPL mice. Second, GSEA identified a signature for pancreatic β-cells in adipose tissue of AdipoQ-LPL mice, an unexpected finding. We explored whether β-cell function is improved in AdipoQ-LPL mice and found that the first phase of insulin secretion is increased in mice challenged with high fat diet. In summary, we identify two different mechanisms for the improved metabolic phenotype of AdipoQ-LPL mice. One involves improved adipose tissue function and the other involves adipose tissue-pancreatic β-cell crosstalk.

Plasma metabolomic profiles reflective of glucose homeostasis in non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic obese African-American women.

Project description:Insulin resistance progressing to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is marked by a broad perturbation of macronutrient intermediary metabolism. Understanding the biochemical networks that underlie metabolic homeostasis and how they associate with insulin action will help unravel diabetes etiology and should foster discovery of new biomarkers of disease risk and severity. We examined differences in plasma concentrations of >350 metabolites in fasted obese T2DM vs. obese non-diabetic African-American women, and utilized principal components analysis to identify 158 metabolite components that strongly correlated with fasting HbA1c over a broad range of the latter (r?=?-0.631; p<0.0001). In addition to many unidentified small molecules, specific metabolites that were increased significantly in T2DM subjects included certain amino acids and their derivatives (i.e., leucine, 2-ketoisocaproate, valine, cystine, histidine), 2-hydroxybutanoate, long-chain fatty acids, and carbohydrate derivatives. Leucine and valine concentrations rose with increasing HbA1c, and significantly correlated with plasma acetylcarnitine concentrations. It is hypothesized that this reflects a close link between abnormalities in glucose homeostasis, amino acid catabolism, and efficiency of fuel combustion in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It is speculated that a mechanism for potential TCA cycle inefficiency concurrent with insulin resistance is "anaplerotic stress" emanating from reduced amino acid-derived carbon flux to TCA cycle intermediates, which if coupled to perturbation in cataplerosis would lead to net reduction in TCA cycle capacity relative to fuel delivery.

Polymorphisms in glucose homeostasis genes are associated with cardiovascular and renal parameters in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) has become the major cause of end-stage kidney disease and is associated to an extremely high cardiovascular (CV) risk.MethodsWe screened 318 DN patients for 23 SNPs in four glucose transporters (SLC2A1, SLC2A2, SLC5A1 and SLC5A2) and in KCNJ11 and ABCC8, which participate in insulin secretion. Regression models were utilised to identify associations with renal parameters, atherosclerosis measurements and CV events. In addition, 506 individuals with normal renal function were also genotyped as a control group.ResultsIn the patient's cohort, common carotid intima media thickness values were higher in carriers of ABCC8 rs3758953 and rs2188966 vs. non-carriers [0.78(0.25) vs. 0.72(0.22) mm, p < 0.05 and 0.79(0.26) vs. 0.72(0.22) mm, p < 0.05], respectively. Furthermore, ABCC8 rs1799859 was linked to presence of plaque in these patients [1.89(1.03-3.46), p < 0.05]. Two variants, SLC2A2 rs8192675 and SLC5A2 rs9924771, were associated with better [OR = 0.49 (0.30-0.81), p < 0.01] and worse [OR = 1.92 (1.15-3.21), p < 0.05] CV event-free survival, respectively. With regard to renal variables, rs841848 and rs710218 in SLC2A1, as well as rs3813008 in SLC5A2, significantly altered estimated glomerular filtration rate values [carriers vs. non-carriers: 30.41(22.57) vs. 28.25(20.10), p < 0.05; 28.95(21.11) vs. 29.52(21.66), p < 0.05 and 32.03(18.06) vs. 28.14(23.06) ml/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.05]. In addition, ABCC8 rs3758947 was associated with higher albumin-to-creatinine ratios [193.5(1139.91) vs. 160(652.90) mg/g, p < 0.05]. The epistasis analysis of SNP-pairs interactions showed that ABCC8 rs3758947 interacted with several SNPs in SLC2A2 to significantly affect CV events (p < 0.01). No SNPs were associated with DN risk.ConclusionsPolymorphisms in genes determining glucose homeostasis may play a relevant role in renal parameters and CV-related outcomes of DN patients.

Loss of CTRP1 disrupts glucose and lipid homeostasis.

Project description:C1q/TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1) is a conserved plasma protein of the C1q family with notable metabolic and cardiovascular functions. We have previously shown that CTRP1 infusion lowers blood glucose and that transgenic mice with elevated circulating CTRP1 are protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Here, we used a genetic loss-of-function mouse model to address the requirement of CTRP1 for metabolic homeostasis. Despite similar body weight, food intake, and energy expenditure, Ctrp1 knockout (KO) mice fed a low-fat diet developed insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. Impaired glucose metabolism in Ctrp1 KO mice was associated with increased hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression and decreased skeletal muscle glucose transporter glucose transporter 4 levels and AMP-activated protein kinase activation. Loss of CTRP1 enhanced the clearance of orally administered lipids but did not affect intestinal lipid absorption, hepatic VLDL-triglyceride export, or lipoprotein lipase activity. In contrast to triglycerides, hepatic cholesterol levels were reduced in Ctrp1 KO mice, paralleling the reduced expression of cholesterol synthesis genes. Contrary to expectations, when challenged with a high-fat diet to induce obesity, Ctrp1 KO mice had increased physical activity and reduced body weight, adiposity, and expression of lipid synthesis and fibrotic genes in adipose tissue; these phenotypes were linked to elevated FGF-21 levels. Due in part to increased hepatic AMP-activated protein kinase activation and reduced expression of lipid synthesis genes, Ctrp1 KO mice fed a high-fat diet also had reduced liver and serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Taken together, these results provide genetic evidence to establish the significance of CTRP1 to systemic energy metabolism in different metabolic and dietary contexts.

A Renal Olfactory Receptor Aids in Kidney Glucose Handling.

Project description:Olfactory receptors (ORs) are G protein-coupled receptors which serve important sensory functions beyond their role as odorant detectors in the olfactory epithelium. Here we describe a novel role for one of these ORs, Olfr1393, as a regulator of renal glucose handling. Olfr1393 is specifically expressed in the kidney proximal tubule, which is the site of renal glucose reabsorption. Olfr1393 knockout mice exhibit urinary glucose wasting and improved glucose tolerance, despite euglycemia and normal insulin levels. Consistent with this phenotype, Olfr1393 knockout mice have a significant decrease in luminal expression of Sglt1, a key renal glucose transporter, uncovering a novel regulatory pathway involving Olfr1393 and Sglt1. In addition, by utilizing a large scale screen of over 1400 chemicals we reveal the ligand profile of Olfr1393 for the first time, offering new insight into potential pathways of physiological regulation for this novel signaling pathway.

Directed evolution of SIRT6 for improved deacylation and glucose homeostasis maintenance.

Project description:Mammalian SIRT6 is a well-studied histone deacetylase that was recently shown to exhibit high protein deacylation activity enabling the removal of long chain fatty acyl groups from proteins. SIRT6 was shown to play key roles in cellular homeostasis by regulating a variety of cellular processes including DNA repair and glucose metabolism. However, the link between SIRT6 enzymatic activities and its cellular functions is not clear. Here, we utilized a directed enzyme evolution approach to generate SIRT6 mutants with improved deacylation activity. We found that while two mutants show increased deacylation activity at high substrate concentration and improved glucose metabolism they exhibit no improvement and even abolished deacetylation activity on H3K9Ac and H3K56Ac in cells. Our results demonstrate the separation of function between SIRT6 catalytic activities and suggest that SIRT6 deacylation activity in cells is important for glucose metabolism and can be mediated by still unknown acylated cellular proteins.

Decreased Abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila Leads to the Impairment of Insulin Secretion and Glucose Homeostasis in Lean Type 2 Diabetes.

Project description:Although obesity occurs in most of the patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a fraction of patients with T2D are underweight or have normal weight. Several studies have linked the gut microbiome to obesity and T2D, but the role of gut microbiota in lean individuals with T2D having unique clinical characteristics remains unclear. A metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analysis is conducted in 182 lean and abdominally obese individuals with and without newly diagnosed T2D. The abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) significantly decreases in lean individuals with T2D than without T2D, but not in the comparison of obese individuals with and without T2D. Its abundance correlates inversely with serum 3β-chenodeoxycholic acid (βCDCA) levels and positively with insulin secretion and fibroblast growth factor 15/19 (FGF15/19) concentrations. The supplementation with A. muciniphila is sufficient to protect mice against high sucrose-induced impairment of glucose intolerance by decreasing βCDCA and increasing insulin secretion and FGF15/19. Furthermore, βCDCA inhibits insulin secretion and FGF15/19 expression. These findings suggest that decreased abundance of A. muciniphila is linked to the impairment of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis in lean T2D, paving the way for new therapeutic options for the prevention or treatment of diabetes.

Small molecule IVQ, as a prodrug of gluconeogenesis inhibitor QVO, efficiently ameliorates glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetic mice.

Project description:Gluconeogenesis is a major source of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), thus targeting gluconeogenesis to suppress glucose production is a promising strategy for anti-T2DM drug discovery. In our preliminary in vitro studies, we found that a small-molecule (E)-3-(2-(quinoline-4-yl)vinyl)-1H-indol-6-ol (QVO) inhibited the hepatic glucose production (HGP) in primary hepatocytes. We further revealed that QVO suppressed hepatic gluconeogenesis involving calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β- and liver kinase B1-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways as well as AMPK-independent mitochondrial function-related signaling pathway. To evaluate QVO's anti-T2DM activity in vivo, which was impeded by the complicated synthesis route of QVO with a low yield, we designed and synthesized 4-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)vinyl]quinoline (IVQ) as a prodrug with easier synthesis route and higher yield. IVQ did not inhibit the HGP in primary hepatocytes in vitro. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that IVQ was quickly converted to QVO in mice and rats following administration. In both db/db and ob/ob mice, oral administration of IVQ hydrochloride (IVQ-HCl) (23 and 46 mg/kg every day, for 5 weeks) ameliorated hyperglycemia, and suppressed hepatic gluconeogenesis and activated AMPK signaling pathway in the liver tissues. Furthermore, IVQ caused neither cardiovascular system dysfunction nor genotoxicity. The good druggability of IVQ has highlighted its potential in the treatment of T2DM and the prodrug design for anti-T2DM drug development.
