Project description:Metformin is among the most prescribed anti-diabetic drugs, but the primary molecular mechanism by which metformin lowers blood glucose levels is unknown. Previous studies have proposed numerous mechanisms by which acute metformin lowers blood glucose, including the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I of the electron transport chain (ETC). Here, we used transgenic mice that globally express the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein NDI1 to determine whether the glucose lowering effect of acute oral administration of metformin requires inhibition of mitochondrial complex I of the ETC in vivo. NDI1 is a yeast NADH dehydrogenase enzyme that complements the loss of mammalian mitochondrial complex I electron transport function and is insensitive to pharmacologic mitochondrial complex I inhibitors including metformin. We demonstrate that NDI1 expression attenuates metformin’s ability to lower blood glucose levels under standard chow and high-fat diet conditions. Our results indicate that acute oral administration of metformin targets mitochondrial complex I to lower blood glucose.

Project description:Background & Aims: Absorption, metabolism, and secretion of lipids occurs in the small intestinal epithelium. Caco-2 and organoids have been used to study these processes but are limited in physiological relevance or preclude simultaneous apical and basal access. Here, we develop a dynamic and flexible planar absorptive enterocyte (AE) monolayer system, investigate how fatty acid oxidation (FAO) regulates FA mobilization mechanisms and probe a role for metformin in FA mobilization. Methods: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) was performed on primary human jejunum. Transcriptomic signatures and trajectory analysis defined in vivo AE maturational signatures, which informed culture methods to differentiate ISCs and mimic in vivo AEs. The system was scaled for high-throughput drug screening and FAO was pharmacologically modulated. BODIPY (B)-labelled fatty acids (FAs) were used to easily and sensitively evaluate FA handling via fluorescence, and thin layer chromatography (TLC). Results: scRNAseq shows increasing expression of lipid-handling genes as AEs mature. In vitro, ISCs differentiate into AEs that mimic the in vivo maturational program, exhibit strong barrier function and express FA-handling genes. FA synthase inhibitor, C75, increased apical to basolateral mobilization of B-C16. Short-chain FA (B-C5) was unaffected and diffused freely through AEs. FAO inhibitor, etomoxir, decreased apical to basolateral mobilization of medium and long chain FAs (B-C12, B-C16) whereas anti-diabetic drug, metformin, augmented this mobilization. Conclusions: Primary human ISCs in culture undergo programmed maturation in vitro to generate a sensitive culture system of absorptive epithelium to investigate FA-handling. Modulating FAO impacts mobilization of FAs across absorptive epithelium and FAO enhanced by metformin increases basolateral mobilization pointing to an intestine-specific role.

Project description:Metformin is the front-line treatment for type 2 diabetes worldwide. It acts via effects on glucose and lipid metabolism in metabolic tissues, leading to enhanced insulin sensitivity. Despite significant effort, the molecular basis for metformin response remains poorly understood, with a limited number of specific biochemical pathways studied to date. To broaden our understanding of hepatic metformin response, we combine phospho-protein enrichment in tissue from genetically engineered mice with a quantitative proteomics platform to enable the discovery and quantification of basophilic kinase substrates in-vivo. We define proteins that binding to 14-3-3 are acutely regulated by metformin treatment and/or loss of the serine/threonine kinase, LKB1. Inducible binding of 250 proteins following metformin treatment is observed, 44% LKB1-dependent. Beyond AMPK, metformin activates Protein Kinase D and MAPKAPK2 in an LKB1-independent manner, revealing additional kinases that may mediate aspects of metformin response. Deeper analysis uncovered substrates of AMPK in endocytosis and calcium homeostasis.

Project description:Metformin, a commonly used drug prescribed to treat type-2 diabetes, has been found to extend health span and delay cancer incidence and progression. Here, we report that starting chronic treatment with low dose of metformin (0.1% w/w in diet) at one year of age extends health and lifespan in male mice, while a higher dose (1% w/w) was toxic. Treatment with low dose metformin mimicked some of the benefits of calorie restriction, such as improved physical performance, increased insulin sensitivity, and reduced LDL and cholesterol levels. At a molecular level, metformin increased AMP-activated protein kinase activity without attenuation of the mitochondrial electron transport chain activities. Metformin treatment resulted in lower chronic inflammation and increased antioxidant protection, suggesting that the ability of metformin to improve health of laboratory animals may stem from these factors. Our results support that metformin supplementation could be beneficial in extending health and lifespan in humans.

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.

Project description:Inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress play important roles in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Metformin is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because it effectively suppresses gluconeogenesis in the liver, however, its “pleiotropic“ effects remain controversial. In the current study, we tested the effects of metformin on inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress in an animal model of inflammation and metabolic syndrome, the spontaneously hypertensive rat transgenically expressing human C-reactive protein (SHR-CRP). In the SHR-CRP transgenic strain, we found that metformin treatment decreased circulating levels of inflammatory response marker IL6 while levels of human CRP remained unchanged and metformin also significantly reduced oxidative stress (levels of conjugated dienes and TBARS) in the liver while no significant effects were observed in SHR control rats. In addition, in the presence of high human CRP, metformin reduced methylglyoxal levels in left ventricles but not in kidneys. Finally, metformin treatment reduced adipose tissue lipolysis. Possible molecular mechanisms of metformin action studied by gene expression profiling in the liver revealed deregulated genes from inflammatory, insulin signaling, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and gluconeogenesis pathways. It can be concluded that in the presence of high levels of human CRP metformin protects against inflammation, oxidative and dicarbonyl stress in the heart and ameliorates insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.

Project description:Trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA) causes dramatic reductions in white adipose tissue in mice but has had limited effectiveness in humans. Determination of the signaling pathways involved may lead to better regulation of adiposity. T10c12 CLA was found to activate AMP-activating protein kinase (AMPK), a central regulator of cell metabolism. Compound C, a potent inhibitor of AMPK, prevents many of the typical responses to treatments with t10c12 CLA including the integrated stress response (ISR), the inflammatory response, the reduction in key lipogenic transcription factors, and delipidation. Treatment of adipocytes or mice with t10c12 CLA in conjunction with AMPK activator metformin results in more delipidation than treatment with the individual chemicals. Additionally, the combination showed a reduced inflammatory response relative to a t10c12 CLA treatment alone. The combination of t10c12 CLA and metformin, widely used to treat insulin resistance and Type II diabetes, has potential as a treatment for reducing adiposity in humans. Keywords: control/treatment Mouse 3T3-L1 RNA for was isolated from control linoleic acid (LA) and treatment (CLA, CLA+metformin, metformin) samples for analysis on microarrays with three biological reps.

Project description:The biguanide drug metformin is a safe and widely prescribed drug for type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, hundreds of clinical trials were set to evaluate the potential role of metformin in the prevention and treatment of cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the metformin-induced cell signaling remains controversial. To interrogate cell signaling events and networks in CRC and explore the druggability of the metformin-rewired phosphorylation network, we performed a proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis on a panel of 12 molecularly heterogeneous CRC cell lines. Using in-depth data-independent analysis mass spectrometry (DIA-MS), we profiled a total of 10,142 proteins and 56,080 phosphosites (P-sites) in CRC cells treated with metformin for 30 minutes and 24 hours. Our results indicate that metformin tends to not trigger or inhibit significant immediate phosphorylation events. Instead, it primarily remodels cell signaling in the long-term. Strikingly, the phosphorylation response to metformin was highly heterogeneous in the CRC panel. We further performed a network analysis to systematically estimate kinase/phosphatase activities and reconstruct signaling cascades in each cell line. We created a “MetScore” which catalogs the most consistently perturbed P-sites among CRC cells for future studies. Finally, we leveraged the metformin P-site signature to identify pharmacodynamic interactions, revealing and confirming a number of candidate metformin-interacting drugs, including navitoclax, a BCL-2/BCL-xL inhibitor. Together, we provide a state-of-the-art phosphoproteomic resource to explore the metformin-induced cell signaling for potential cancer therapeutics.

Project description:Metformin reduces the incidence of cancer in diabetics or in animal models. At the cellular level, the effects of metformin include the inhibition of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, a reduction in ATP levels and the activation of the energy sensor AMP kinase. Metformin also prevents the production of reactive oxygen species in primary human cells expressing oncogenic ras and the DNA damage associated to the process. We used microarrays to characterize the gene expression changes induced by metformin in primary human fibroblasts expressing oncogenic ras.

Our results support that metformin supplementation could be beneficial in extending health and lifespan in humans. Groups of one-year old male B6C57/J mice were maintained on ad libitum AIN-93G SD diet, or a 40% caloric restriction of the AIN-93G SD diet, or an ad libitum AIN-93G diet supplemented with 0.1% w/w metformin for the rest of their lives. 5 mice from each of these 3 groups were selected and RNA was extracted from both muscle and liver tissue using 1.0mm glass beads in a Precellys 24 Tissue Homogenizer and Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kits for Fibrous Tissue according to manufacturer's specifications. Quality and quantity of the total RNA was checked with the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer using RNA 6000 Nano chips. RNA samples were labeled using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit. In short, 0.5g of total RNA was first converted into single-stranded cDNA with reverse transcriptase using an oligo-dT primer containing the T7 RNA polymerase promoter site and then copied to produce double-stranded cDNA molecules. The double stranded cDNA was cleaned and concentrated with the supplied columns and used in an overnight in-vitro transcription reaction where single-stranded RNA (cRNA) was generated and labeled by incorporation of biotin-16-UTP. Arrays were hybridized using a total of 0.75ug of biotin-labeled cRNA at 58 degrees C for 16 hours to Illumina's Sentrix MouseRef-8 v2 Expression BeadChips. Each BeadChip has ~24,000 well-annotated RefSeq transcripts with approximately 30-fold redundancy. The arrays were washed, blocked and the biotin labeled cRNA was detected by staining with streptavidin-Cy3. Arrays were scanned at a resolution of 0.8um using the Beadstation 500 X from Illumina and the data was extracted using the Illumina GenomeStudio software(v1.6.0). Any spots at or below the background were filtered out using an Illumina detection p value of 0.02 and above. The natural log of all remaining scores were used to find the avg and std of each array and the z-score normalization was calculated and presented below. Z-score = (raw value - avg)/std.
