Project description:During pregnancy, the energy requirements of the fetus impose changes in maternal metabolism. Increasing insulin resistance in the mother maintains nutrient flow to the growing fetus, while prolactin and placental lactogen counterbalance this resistance and prevent maternal hyperglycemia by driving expansion of the maternal population of insulin-producing beta-cells. However, the exact mechanisms by which the lactogenic hormones drive beta-cell expansion remain uncertain. Here we show that serotonin acts downstream of lactogen signaling to drive beta-cell proliferation. Serotonin synthetic enzyme Tph1 and serotonin production increased sharply in beta-cells during pregnancy or after treatment with lactogens in vitro. Inhibition of serotonin synthesis by dietary tryptophan restriction or Tph inhibition blocked beta-cell expansion and induced glucose intolerance in pregnant mice without affecting insulin sensitivity. Expression of the Gq-linked serotonin receptor Htr2b in maternal islets increased during pregnancy and normalized just prior to parturition, while expression of the Gi-linked receptor Htr1d increased at the end of pregnancy and postpartum. Blocking Htr2b signaling in pregnant mice also blocked beta-cell expansion and caused glucose intolerance. These studies reveal an integrated signaling pathway linking beta-cell mass to anticipated insulin need during pregnancy. Modulators of this pathway, including medications and diet, may affect the risk of gestational diabetes.

Project description:In the present study, we explored whether skeletal muscle cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) contributes to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders using skeletal muscle Cth knockout (CthΔskm) mice. Metabolomics coupled with transcriptome showed that CthΔskm mice displayed impaired energy metabolism and some signaling pathways linked to insulin resistance (IR) in skeletal muscle although the mice had normal insulin sensitivity. HFD led to reduced CTH expression and impaired energy metabolism in skeletal muscle in Cth-floxed mice (Cthf/f) mice. CTH deficiency and HFD had some common pathways enriched in the aspects of amino acid metabolism, carbon metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism. CthΔskm+HFD mice exhibited increased body weight gain, fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, and IR, and reduced glucose transporter 4 and CD36 expression in skeletal muscle compared to Cthf/f+HFD mice. Impaired mitochondria and irregular arrangement in myofilament occurred in CthΔskm+HFD mice. Omics analysis showed differential pathways enriched between CthΔskm mice and Cthf/f mice upon HFD. More severity in impaired energy metabolism, reduced AMPK signaling, and increased oxidative stress and ferroptosis occurred in CthΔskm+HFD mice compared to Cthf/f+HFD mice. Our data indicate that skeletal muscle CTH expression dysregulation contributes to metabolism disorders upon HFD.

Project description:Serotonin is important material in our body. 5-HT is synthesized by TPH1 starting with tryptophan and this compound exists on colorectal cancer. And serotonin combines with various receptors to conduct the metabolic pathway in colorectal cancer. Each receptor relates with various metabolism, such as lipid metabolism, growth, immunity, etc. In this way, medicine which inhibits these receptors can expect for therapy of colorectal cancer. Especially HTR 2B has correlation with growth factor and using the inhibitor of HTR2B, SB204741, can have effect on metabolic pathway in colorectal cancer. So, we set the hypothesis that HTR2B antagonist can have negative effect on growth of colorectal cancer.

Project description:The accumulation of intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) is recognized as an important determinant of insulin resistance, and is increased by a high-fat diet (HFD). However, the effects of HFD on IMCL and insulin sensitivity are highly variable. We used microarrays to detail to identify the genes in skeletal muscle that are related to inter-individual variation of the effects with HFD on the accumulation of intramyocellular lipid and insulin sensitivity. In order to identify the gene expression profile related with inter-individual variation of the effects with high fat diet on the accumulation of intramyocellular lipid and insulin sensitivity, we classified subjects who showed a large increase in intramyocellular lipid and a large decrease in glucose infusion rate by high fat diet as the high-responder (HR), and the subjects who showed a small increase in intramyocellular lipid and a small decrease in glucose infusion rate were classified as the low-responder (LR). In 5 subjects in each group, skeletal muscle sample selected at before (pre) and after (post) 3days high fat diet for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Individuals with hepatic steatosis often display several metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance and muscle atrophy. Previously, we found that hepatic steatosis results in an altered hepatokine secretion profile, thereby inducing skeletal muscle insulin resistance via inter-organ crosstalk. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the altered secretion profile in the state of hepatic steatosis also induces skeletal muscle atrophy via effects on muscle protein turnover. To investigate this, eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a chow (4.5% fat) or a high-fat diet (HFD; 45% fat) for 12 weeks to induce hepatic steatosis, after which the livers were excised and cut into ~200 µm slices. Slices were cultured to collect secretion products (conditioned medium; CM). Differentiated L6-GLUT4myc myotubes were incubated with chow or HFD CM to measure glucose uptake. Differentiated C2C12 myotubes were incubated with chow or HFD CM to measure protein synthesis and breakdown, and gene expression via RNA sequencing. Furthermore, proteomics analysis was performed in chow and HFD CM. It was found that HFD CM caused insulin resistance in L6-GLUT4myc myotubes compared with chow CM, as indicated by a blunted insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake. Furthermore, protein breakdown was increased in C2C12 cells incubated with HFD CM, while there was no effect on protein synthesis. RNA profiling of C2C12 cells indicated that 197 genes were differentially expressed after incubation with HFD CM, compared with chow CM, and pathway analysis showed that pathways related to anatomical structure and function were enriched. Proteomic analysis of the CM showed that 32 proteins were differentially expressed in HFD CM compared with chow CM. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that these proteins had important functions with respect to insulin-like Growth Factor transport and uptake, and affect post-translational processes, including protein folding, protein secretion and protein phosphorylation. In conclusion, the results of this study support the hypothesis that secretion products from the liver contribute to the development of muscle atrophy in individuals with hepatic steatosis.

Project description:The popularity of high fat foods in modern society has been associated with epidemic of various metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance, the pathology of which involves complex interactions between multiple tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT). To uncover the mechanism by which excessive fat impairs insulin sensitivity, we conducted a multi- tissue study by using TMT-based quantitative proteomics. 3-week-old ICR mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 19 weeks to induce insulin resistance. Liver, skeletal muscle and epididymal fat were collected for proteomics screening. Additionally, PRM was used for validating adipose differential proteins. By comparing tissue-specific protein profiles of HFD mice, multi-tissue regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and corresponding underlying mechanisms was systematically investigated and characterized.

Project description:Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a prominent early feature in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In attempt to overcome this defect, we generated mice overexpressing insulin receptors (IR) specifically in skeletal muscle (IRMOE). On normal chow, IRMOE mice have similar body weight as controls, but an increase in lean mass and glycolytic muscle fibers and reduced fat mass. IRMOE mice also show higher basal phosphorylation of IR, IRS-1 and Akt in muscle and improved glucose tolerance compared to controls. When challenged with high fat diet (HFD), IRMOE mice are protected from diet-induced obesity. This is associated with reduced inflammation in fat and liver, improved glucose tolerance and improved systemic insulin sensitivity. Surprisingly, however, in both chow and HFD-fed mice, insulin stimulated Akt phosphorylation is significantly reduced in muscle of IRMOE mice, indicating post-receptor insulin resistance. RNA sequencing reveals downregulation of several post-receptor signaling proteins that contribute to this resistance. Thus, enhancing early insulin signaling in muscle by overexpression of the insulin receptor protects mice from diet-induced obesity and its effects on glucose metabolism. However, chronic overstimulation of this pathway leads to post-receptor desensitization, indicating the critical balance between normal signaling and hyperstimulation of the insulin signaling pathway.

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction of skeletal muscle is often prevalent at an early stage in the development of several non-communicable diseases. Here, we investigated the effect of a myokine, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), on glucose tolerance in human and mouse skeletal muscles. SPARC knockout mice showed marked decreases in parameters for whole-body glucose metabolism, along with reduced phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt in skeletal muscle tissues compared with wild-type mice. Furthermore, mice injected with SPARC showed improved glucose tolerance concomitant with AMPK activation. Exogenous SPARC treatment accelerated glucose uptake in muscle tissues isolated from wild-type mice but not from AMPKγ3 knockout mice. In muscle cells, SPARC increased glucose uptake concomitant with AMPK activation, mediated by a calcium-dependent signal. Chronic treatment of SPARC restored metabolic functions in diet-induced obese mice. These findings suggest that SPARC improves glucose metabolism via AMPK activation in skeletal muscle, providing mechanistic insights on exercise-induced metabolic benefits and physical inactivity-induced glucose intolerance.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a major contributor to whole-body glucose homeostasis and is an important endocrine organ. To date, few studies have undertaken the large-scale identification of skeletal muscle-derived secreted proteins (myokines), particularly in response to stimuli that activate pathways governing energy metabolism in health and disease. Whereas the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and insulin-signaling pathways have received notable attention for their ability to independently regulate skeletal muscle substrate metabolism, little work has examined their ability to re-pattern the secretome. The present study coupled the use of high-resolution MS-based proteomics and bioinformatics analysis of conditioned media derived from 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR – an AMPK activator)- and insulin-treated differentiated C2C12 myotubes. We quantified 858 secreted proteins, including cytokines and growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor-21 (Fgf21). We identified 377 and 118 proteins that were significantly altered by Insulin and AICAR treatment, respectively. Notably, the family of insulin growth factor binding-proteins (Igfbp) was differentially regulated by each treatment. Insulin- but not AICAR-induced conditioned media increased the mitochondrial respiratory capacity of myotubes, potentially via secreted factors. These findings may serve as an important resource to elucidate secondary metabolic effects of insulin and AICAR stimulation in skeletal muscle.
