Variation in the Glucose Transporter gene SLC2A2 is associated with glycaemic response to metformin

ABSTRACT: Metformin is the first-line antidiabetic drug with over 100 million users worldwide, yet its mechanism of action remains unclear1. Here the Metformin Genetics (MetGen) Consortium reports a three-stage genome wide association study (GWAS), consisting of 13,123 participants of different ancestries. The C-allele of rs8192675 in the intron of SLC2A2, which encodes the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT2, was associated with a 0.17% (p=6.6x10-14) greater metformin induced HbA1c reduction in 10,577 participants of European ancestry. rs8192675 is the top cis-eQTL for SLC2A2 in 1,226 human liver samples, suggesting a key role for hepatic GLUT2 in regulation of metformin action. In obese individuals C-allele homozygotes at rs8192675 had a 0.33% (3.6mmol/mol) greater absolute HbA1c reduction than T-allele homozygotes.This is about half the effect seen with the addition of a DPP-4 inhibitor, and equates to a dose difference of 550mg of metformin, suggesting rs8192675 as a potential biomarker for stratified medicine.

Quantitative Proteome Analysis Reveals Increased Content of Basement Membrane Proteins in Arteries from Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Lower Levels among Metformin Users

Project description:We analyzed non-atherosclerotic repair arteries gathered at coronary by-pass operations from 30 patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as from 30 age- and gender-matched non-diabetic individuals. Quantitative proteome analysis was done by iTRAQ-labelling and LC-MS/MS analysis on individual arterial samples. The amounts of the basement membrane (BM) components, alpha-1- and alpha-2- type IV collagen, gamma-1- and beta-2-laminin were significantly increased in patients with diabetes. Moreover, the expressions of basement membrane components and other vascular proteins were significantly lower among metformin users, as compared to non-users. Patients treated with or without metformin had similar levels of HbA1c, cholesterol and blood pressure. In addition, quantitative histomorphometry showed increased area fractions of collagen-stainable material in tunica intima and media among patients with diabetes.

RNAseq of C. elegans cultured on metformin sensitive and resistant E. coli strains with and without 50mM metformin treatment.

Project description:Metformin is the therapy of choice for treating type 2 diabetes and is currently repurposed for a wide range of diseases including aging. Recent evidence implicates the gut microbiota as a site of metformin action. Combining two tractable genetic models, the bacterium E. coli and the nematode C. elegans, we performed C. elegans RNAseq to investigate the role of the metformin sensitive OP50 and metformin resistant OP50-MR E. coli microbiota in the drug effects on the host. Our data suggest an evolutionarily conserved bacterial mediation of metformin effects on host lipid metabolism and lifespan.

Expression data of LoVo cells treated by 10mM metformin for eigher 8 or 24h

Project description:Metformin is effective for prevention or treatment of various tumors. There are a lot of studies on the underlying mechanisms of metformin as respect to its anti-tumor action. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the anti-tumor effects of metformin on LoVo cells. Human derived LoVo cells were treated with metformin (10mM) for 8 and 24h, and the control and treated cells were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.The samples were grouped as Met8h, Met24h, Con8h, and Con24h, respectively.

Genetic characerization of early renal changes in diabetes

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) appears heritable, suggesting genetic factors influence disease susceptibility. In our study, genes were mapped mediating early renal hypertrophic in response to diabetes. A survey of murine strains (N=15) was conducted to identify variation in kidney hypertrophy following diabetes induction. Mice with greater FVB/N and less C57BL/6 renal hypertrophy were crossed and diabetic F2 generation mice (n=534) were characterised. To confirm loci responsible for the renal hypertrophic response, diabetic congenic mice were generated by backcrossing FVB/N mice that conferred greater or C57BL/6 conferring lower risk into the reciprocal strain mice. Kidney weights of (FVB/N x C57BL/6) F2 diabetic mice were broadly distributed. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis revealed that diabetic mice with kidney weights in the upper quartile shared alleles on chromosomes 6 and 12, with the FVB/N allele on chromosome 6 conferring greater susceptibility. On chromosome 12, C57BL/6 homozygotes were more significantly represented (LOD=3.8) conferring less susceptibility. The diabetic B6.Drc1/2f congenic strain developed kidney damage, while the reciprocal congenic, with FVB.Drc1/2b strain were protected. Microarray analysis identified differentially expressed genes between diabetic C57BL/6 and FVB/N mice. QTL mapping for early renal responses to diabetes identified two loci syntenic with regions identified for human diabetic kidney disease. Providing a new resource to study DKD.

RNA-seq of metformin treatment in liver in WT, Raptor Ser-Ala mutant, Tsc2-null, Raptor mutant;Tsc2-null, and Ampk-null

Project description:Despite being the frontline therapy for Type 2 diabetes, the mechanisms of action of the biguanide drug metformin are still being discovered. In particular, the detailed molecular interplays between the AMPK and the mTORC1 pathway in the hepatic benefits of metformin are still ill-defined. Metformin-dependent activation of AMPK classically inhibits mTORC1 via TSC/RHEB. But several lines of evidence suggest additional mechanisms at play in metformin inhibition of mTORC1. Here we investigated the role of direct AMPK-mediated serine phosphorylation of RAPTOR in a new RaptorAA mouse model, in which AMPK phospho-serine sites Ser722 and Ser792 of RAPTOR were mutated to alanine. Metformin treatment of intact murine liver requires AMPK regulation of both RAPTOR and TSC2 to fully inhibit mTORC1, and this regulation is critical for the transcriptional response to metformin. Transcriptionally, AMPK and mTORC1 were both important for regulation of anabolic metabolism and inflammatory programs triggered by metformin treatment. The hepatic transcriptional response in mice on high fat diet treated with metformin was largely ablated by AMPK-deficiency under the conditions examined, indicating the essential role of this kinase and its targets in metformin action in vivo.

The impact of vaping on adolescent lung function and nasal epithelial gene expression [RNA-seq]

Project description:Electronic cigarette use (vaping) among adolescents is a pressing public health issue. We aimed to investigate the impact of vape use on lung function and nasal epithelial gene expression in adolescents. We hypothesized that vaping results in abnormal lung function and differential expression of inflammatory genes in the nasal epithelium of adolescent vape users in comparison to non-vape users. We assessed airflow obstruction with impulse oscillometry (IOS) and collected nasal epithelial brush samples for genome-wide gene expression and targeted DNA methylation analyses in middle and high school students in Colorado. Written informed consent was obtained from participants and Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. Vape users [mean age (standard deviation): 14.8 (1.4) years] reported vaping within the past 6 months while non-vape users [14.8 (1.4)] years did not report any vape use in the past 6 months. Mean airway resistance identified by the IOS R5 measure revealed that vape users (n=13) had higher values than non-vape users (n=37) [p=0.026]. Of 16,860 nasal epithelial genes tested, 7,136 were significantly differentially expressed between vape and non-vape users (false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05), after covariate adjustment. Enrichment analyses identified overexpression of inflammatory response genes and underexpression of ciliogenesis genes in vape users compared to non-vape users. DNA methylation analysis revealed that REXO1 (FDR=0.01) and CERK (FDR=0.06) were differentially methylated among vape users compared to non-vape users. Vaping during adolescence may increase airway resistance and dysresgulation of nasal epithelial genes, including genes involved in airway inflammation and ciliary function.
