Glucosamine Mediated Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway Activation Utilizes ATF4 to Promote “Exercise-Like” Angiogenesis and Perfusion Recovery in Peripheral Arterial Disease

ABSTRACT: Background: Endothelial cells (ECs) use glycolysis to produce energy. In pre-clinical models of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the further activation of EC glycolysis was ineffective and/or deleterious in promoting hypoxia-dependent angiogenesis while pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) activation was effective. Hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), PPP, and glycolysis are closely linked. Glucosamine directly activates HBP.Methods:Hind-limb ischemia (HLI)ineNOS-/-and Balb/c mice was used. Glucosamine (600 ug/g/day) was injected intraperitoneally. Blood flow recovery was assessed using laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI), angiogenesis was studied by CD31immunostaining.In-vitro: human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) and mouse microvascular EC with glucosamine, L-glucose or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165a), were tested underhypoxiaand serum starvation (HSS). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), tube formation, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) and FITC dextran permeability were assessed. Glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation were assessed by seahorse assay. Gene expression was assessed using RNA sequencing, real-time qPCR, and western blot. Human muscle biopsies from patients with PAD were assessed for EC O-GlcNAcylation before and after supervised exercise vs. standard medical care. Results: Day-3 post-HLI,glucosamine vs. control-treated eNOS-/-had less necrosis.Beginning Day-7 post-HLI, glucosamine vs. control-treated Balb/chad higherblood flowthat persisted to Day-21whereischemic musclesshowed greaterCD31 staining/muscle fiber. In-vitro,glucosamine vs. L-glucoseshowedimproved EC survival and tube formation. RNA-sequencing of glucosamine vs. L-glucose showed increased amino acid metabolism. That resulted in increased oxidative phosphorylation and serine biosynthesis pathway (SBP) without an increase in glycolysis or PPP genes. This was associated with better barrier function and less ROS compared to activating glycolysis by VEGF165a. These effects were mediated by activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4); a driver of exercise-induced angiogenesis. Finally, in muscle biopsies from humans with PAD,EC/O-GlcNAcylation was increased by 12 weeks of supervised exercise vs. standard medical care. Conclusion: In-cells, mice, and humans activation of HBP by glucosamine in PAD inducesan “exercise-like” angiogenesis and offers a promising novel therapeutic pathway to treat this challenging disorder.

Project description:Purpose: To clarify cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying impaired post-ischemic adaptive vascular responses and to evaluate reconstituted HDL (rHDL)-ApoA-I nanotherapy to rescue the defect in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) mouse model of hindlimb ischemia (HLI). Methods: Mice with beta-cell specific over-expression of insulin-like growth factor-2 in atherosclerotic background (IGF-II/ LDLR-/-ApoB100/100) with T2DM features were used in the study with C57BL/6J mice fed with a regular chow-diet (R36, Lactamin) serving as controls. Mice aged between 16 to 20 weeks were used in the study . Mice were anaesthetized with 1.5-2% isoflurane/air mixture during the surgical procedure. Hair was removed from the operation site and cleaned with sterile water. Single incision was made just above medial thigh and superficial femoral artery was separated from femoral vein and nerve. HLI was induced by unilateral ligation of femoral artery distal to the origin of the profunda femoral artery. The skin was closed with interrupted silk sutures. Mice were were administered with reconstituted ApoA-I nanoparticles with phosphatidyl serine core (rHDL) intravenously starting 2 days post-HLI with doses every 2 days until scarification with Saline injections serving as controls. Adductors muscle aortic endothelial cells (AECs) and Ischemic muscle Macrophages and Endothelial Cells (ECs) were isolated using a combination of magnetic assisted cell sorting and flow Cytometry using Macrophage (F4/80) and EC (CD-31) specific markers. Total RNA isolated from FACS sorted cells were used for RNA seq library preparation. Results: Cell-specific gene expression, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry revealed a persistent Macrophage and Endothelial cell inflammation and a reduced anti-inflammatory M2-macrophage activation associated with impaired collateral remodelling and sprouting angiogenesis in T2DM mice. Furthermore, reconstituted HDL (rHDL)- ApoA-I was found to rescue impaired collateral remodelling and angiogenesis in T2DM mice through modulating EC and macrophage phenotypes. Conclusions: Our results suggest that an impaired collateral remodelling and sprouting angiogenesis in T2DM mice after HLI is associated with a persistent EC and macrophage inflammation and a reduced activation of anti-inflammatory M2-macrophage. Skewing the macrophage phenotype towards the pro-arteriogenic and pro-angiogenic anti-inflammatory M2-macrophages using reconstituted HDL (rHDL)-ApoA-I nanotherapy may serve as a potential therapeutic modality for T2DM PAD.

Project description:Background: Lower-limb peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus. PAD is associated with poor limb and cardiovascular prognoses, along with a dramatic decrease in life expectancy. Despite major medical advances in the treatment of diabetes, a substantial therapeutic gap remains in the PAD population. Praliciguat is an orally available soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that has been reported both pre-clinically and in early-stage clinical trials to have favorable effects in metabolic and hemodynamic outcomes, suggesting that it may have a potential beneficial effect in PAD. Objective: We evaluated the effect of praliciguat on hind limb ischemia (HLI) recovery in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Methods: HLI was induced in leptin receptor-deficient (Leprdb/db) mice by ligation and excision of the left femoral artery. Praliciguat (10 mg/kg/day) was administered in the diet starting 3 days before surgery. Results: 28 days after surgery, ischemic foot perfusion and function parameters were better in praliciguat-treated mice than in vehicle controls. Improved ischemic foot perfusion was not associated with either improved traditional cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., weight, glycemia) or increased angiogenesis. However, treatment with praliciguat significantly increased arteriole diameter, decreased intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) expression, and prevented the accumulation of oxidative pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory muscle fibers. While investigating the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of praliciguat therapy, we found that praliciguat significantly downregulated Myh2 and Cxcl12 mRNA expression in cultured myoblasts and that conditioned medium form praliciguat-treated myoblast decreased ICAM-1 mRNA expression in endothelial cells. These results suggest that praliciguat therapy may decrease ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells by downregulating Cxcl12 in myocytes. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that praliciguat promotes blood flow recovery in the ischemic muscle of mice with type 2 diabetes, at least in part by increasing arteriole diameter and by downregulating ICAM-1 expression.

Project description:Oxygen fluctuation during tissue remodeling imposes a major metabolic challenge in human tumors. Stem-like tumor cells in glioblastomas are believed to possess extraordinary metabolic flexibility, enabling them to initiate growth even under non-permissive conditions. To identify adaptive response mechanism, we compared the effects of acute and chronic hypoxia versus oxygenation on stem-like glioblastoma (GS) cells. GS cell lines were established and propagated either under normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (1% O2) and subsequently exposed to acute normoxia or hypoxia, respectively. Gene expression profiling revealed that acute hypoxia predominantly induced metabolic pathways and cell cycle arrest, whereas chronic hypoxia activated neurodevelopmental processes. In particular, we found increased expression of glycolytic enzymes, especially of the preparatory phase of glycolysis, under acute hypoxia, whereas pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) enzymes were downregulated. The opposite was found for acute oxygenation of hypoxic GS cells. Findings were confirmed by qPCR and immunoblot analyses. Despite downregulation by hypoxia, expression of PPP enzymes is increased in GBMs compared to normal brain, whereas expression of hypoxia-inducible enzymes of the parallel preparatory phase of glycolysis is decreased. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong staining for PPP enzymes in the bulk of GBM tissue, especially in highly proliferative areas, but not in pseudopalisading (hypoxic) cells. Glycolytic enzymes displayed an inverse pattern. Mass spectrometric analysis using [1,2-13C2]-D-glucose showed reduced glucose flux through the PPP under hypoxia in favor of flux through glycolysis. Acute and chronic hypoxia increased cell migration but reduced proliferation, whereas normoxia had opposite effects. Our findings extend Warburg’s observations by showing that in most tumor cells the PPP, which supplies metabolites for biomass production, is favored over the parallel preparatory phase of glycolysis, but is suppressed under acute severe hypoxia, causing a switch to direct glycolysis to protect against hypoxic stress.
