Project description:Low protein (LP) during gestation leads to low birth weight and poor fetal growth, with altered islet development and glucose intolerance in adulthood. Additionally, LP offspring fail to regenerate their β-cells following depletion with streptozotocin (STZ), in contrast to control-fed offspring that are capable of β-cell regeneration. Our objective was to identify genes and signalling pathways that may be critically altered in LP offspring rendering them susceptible to develop long term glucose intolerance and decreased β-cell plasticity. Pregnant Balb/C mice were place on a control (20% protein) or isocaloric low protein (8%) diet for the period of gestation, and then all dams were switch to the control diet at birth. Female offspring were injected with streptozotocin (35 mg/kg body weight; sodium citrate buffer 0.1 mol/L, pH 4.5) or vehicle (sham). Total RNA was extracted from pancreas of 30 day old female offspring (n=3) and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips.

Project description:Increasing evidence indicates that parental diet affects the metabolism and health of offspring. It is reported that paternal low-protein diet (pLPD) induces glucose intolerance and the expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis in mouse offspring liver. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of a pLPD on gene expression in offspring white adipose tissue (WAT), another important tissue for the regulation of metabolism. RNA-seq analysis indicated that pLPD up- and down-regulated 54 and 274 genes, respectively, in offspring WAT,. The mRNA expression of many genes involved in lipogenesis was down-regulated by pLPD feeding, which may contribute to glucose intolerance. The expression of carbohydrate response element-binding protein β (ChREBP-β), an important lipogenic transcription factor, was also significantly lower in the WAT of pLPD offspring, which may have mediated the down-regulation of the lipogenic genes. By contrast, the LPD did not affect the expression of lipogenic genes in the WAT of the male progenitor, but increased the expression of lipid oxidation genes, suggesting that a LPD reduces WAT mass by activating lipid oxidation, and that LPD may reduce WAT mass using differing mechanisms in parents and offspring. These findings add to our understanding of how paternal diet can regulate metabolism in their offspring.

Project description:The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing, and it is contributing to the susceptibility to diabetes and its related epidemic in offspring. Although the impacts of paternal T2D on metabolism of offspring have been well established, the exact molecular and mechanistic basis that mediates these impacts remains largely unclear. Here we show that paternal T2D increases the susceptibility to diabetes in offspring through the gametic epigenetic alterations. Paternal T2D led to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in offspring. Relative to controls, offspring of T2D fathers exhibited altered gene expression patterns in the pancreatic islets, with downregulation of several genes involved in glucose metabolism and insulin signaling pathway. Epigenomic profiling of offspring pancreatic islets revealed numerous changes in cytosine methylation depending on paternal T2D, including reproducible changes in methylation over several insulin signaling genes. Paternal T2D altered overall methylome patterns in sperm, with a large portion of differentially methylated genes overlapped with that of pancreatic islets in offspring. Our study revealed, for the first time, that T2D can be inherited transgenerationally through the mammalian germline by an epigenetic manner. For all comparisons shown, male F0 founders were weaned from mothers at 3 weeks of age, and sibling males were put into cages with high-fat diet (33% energy as fat) or control diet until 12 weeks of age, at which point mice fed with HFD were injected intraperitoneally with a low dose of STZ and kept on the same diet for 4 weeks. Fasting blood glucose was examined each week post-STZ for 4 weeks, and only glucose level at 7~11 mM was considered as type 2 diabetes. Females were always raised on standard diet. At 16 weeks, male F0 founders were mated with females. After 1 or 2 days, males were removed, and pregnant females were left alone until their litters were 3 weeks of age. Note that we always used virgin females to avoid confounding effects brought about by the females. At 3 weeks of age a portion of the offspring were sacrificed and islets were generated, each from an independent father.Samples from six control and six paternal type 2 diabetes offspring were chosen for microarray analysis.

Project description:Early life nutritional imbalances are risk factors for metabolic dysfunctions in adulthood, but the effects of perinatal exposure to high versus low protein diets are poorly understood. We exposed C57BL/6 offspring to a high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) or low protein/high carbohydrate (LP/HC) diet during gestation and lactation, and measured metabolic phenotypes between birth and ten months of age in male offspring. Perinatal HP/LC and LP/HC exposures resulted in a decreased ability to clear glucose in the offspring, with reduced baseline insulin and glucose levels in the LP/HC group and a reduced insulin response post-glucose challenge in the HP/LC group. The LP/HC diet group also showed reduced weight at birth and at weaning age, whereas the HP/LC offspring showed an increased weight at weaning and increased adiposity after 5 months of age. Gene expression profiling of hypothalamic and liver tissues indicated alterations of diverse molecular pathways by both diets. Specifically, hypothalamic transcriptome and pathway analyses indicate perturbations of MAPK and hedgehog signaling, processes associated with neural restructuring and transmission, and phosphate metabolism by perinatal protein imbalances. Liver transcriptome data revealed changes in purine and phosphate metabolism, hedgehog signaling, and circadian rhythm pathways. Our results support that maternal protein imbalances perturb molecular pathways in central and peripheral metabolic tissues and predispose offspring to metabolic dysfunctions.

Project description:Bezafibrate (BEZ), a pan activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), is generally used to treat hyperlipidemia. Clinical trials on patients suffering from type 2 diabetes indicated that BEZ also has beneficial effects on glucose metabolism, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Much less is known about the function of BEZ in type 1 diabetes. Here, we show that BEZ treatment markedly improves hyperglycemia, glucose and insulin tolerance in streptozotocin (STZ)-treated mice, an insulin-deficient mouse model of type 1 diabetes presenting with very high blood glucose levels. Furthermore, BEZ-treated mice also exhibited improved metabolic flexibility as well as an enhanced mitochondrial mass and function in the liver. Our data demonstrate a beneficial effect of BEZ treatment on STZ mice reducing diabetes and suggest that BEZ ameliorates impaired glucose metabolism possibly via augmented hepatic mitochondrial performance, improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on liver tissue derived from streptozotocin-treated mice treated with bezafibrate in addition.

Project description:Maternal hyperandrogenism is closely related to metabolic disorders, yet its transgenerational effects on male descendants remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that hyperandrogenism in women predisposes their sons to islet β-cell dysfunction. Male offspring mice with prenatal androgen exposure exhibited hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance due to compromised insulin secretion. Notably, these metabolic disturbances were transmitted across three generations, and exacerbated by aging and a high-fat diet. Altered DNA methylations in F1 sperm and F2 islet contribute to suppressed β-cell functional genes. We identified shared differentially methylated signatures in F1 sperm, type 2 diabetes patients, and sons with maternal hyperandrogenism. Furthermore, caloric restriction and metformin treatments in F1 males corrected hyperglycemic defects and prevented their transmission to offspring. Our findings highlight the transgenerational inheritance of hyperglycemia and β-cell dysfunction in male offspring from maternal hyperandrogenism via DNA methylation changes, providing methylation biomarkers and therapeutic strategies to safeguard future generations’ metabolic health.

Project description:Taurine ameliorates changes occurring in newborn skeletal muscle as a result of gestational protein restriction in C57BL/6 mice, but taurine supplementation effects may be exaggerated in C57BL/6 mice due to their inherent excessive taurinuria. We examined if maternal taurine supplementation could ameliorate changes in gene expression levels, properties of mitochondria, myogenesis, and nutrient transport and sensing, in male newborn skeletal muscle caused by a maternal low protein (LP) diet in Wistar rats. LP diet resulted in an 11% non-significant decrease in birth weight, which was not rescued by taurine supplementation (LP-Tau). LP-Tau offspring had signifi-cantly lower birth weight compared to controls. Gene expression profiling revealed 895 significantly changed genes, mainly an LP-induced down-regulation of genes involved in protein translation. Taurine fully or partially rescued 32% of these changes, but with no distinct pattern as to which genes were rescued. Skeletal muscle taurine content in LP-Tau offspring was increased, but no changes in mRNA levels of the taurine synthesis pathway were observed. Taurine transporter mRNA levels, but not protein levels, were increased by LP diet. Nutrient sensing pathways were largely unaffected in LP or LP-Tau groups, although taurine supplementation caused an unexpected decrease in total Akt and AMPK protein levels. PAT4 amino acid transporter mRNA was increased by LP, and normalized by taurine supplementation. In conclusion, gestational protein restriction in rats decreased genes involved in protein translation in newborn skeletal muscle and led to changes in nutrient transporters. Taurine partly rescued these changes, hence underscoring the im-portance of taurine in development. We used microarrays to detail changes in global programme of gene expression in newborn offspring skeletal muscle brains from rats subjected to either a control diet, a low protein diet or a low protein diet + taurine supplementation
