Exacerbated oxidative stress in the fasting liver according to fuel partitioning

ABSTRACT: Complete starvation may prove lethal due to excessive loss of body proteins. However, it is still not completely understood whether responses to food deprivation are time-dependently induced or triggered in relation with the successive phases of protein sparing and wasting that characterize prolonged fasting. As the liver has a wide range of vital functions, we examined the hepatic regulatory mechanisms elicited during prolonged fasting. We showed that fasting-induced transcriptome/proteome changes occur in close relation with fuel partitioning, independently of ATP levels. Omics data suggesting a worsening of oxidative stress during the proteolytic stage of fasting, this was further validated using biochemical assays. Low levels of antioxidant factors were indeed paralleled by their decreased activity, which could be impaired by low NADPH levels. Oxidative damages on lipids and proteins were accordingly increased only during late fasting. At this stage, the gene/protein expression of several chaperones was also repressed. Together with the impairment of metabolic achievements, a vicious cycle involving protein misfolding and oxidative stress could jeopardize liver functions when the proteolytic stage of fasting is reached. Thus, monitoring of liver impairments should help to better manage or treat catabolic and/or oxidative stress conditions, such as ageing and degeneration.

Project description:Smith2013 - Regulation of Insulin Signalling by Oxidative Stress The model describes insulin signalling (in rodent adipocytes), which includes in addition to the core pathway, the transcriptional feedback through the Forkhead box type O (FOXO) transcription factor and interaction with oxidative stress. This model is described in the article: Computational modelling of the regulation of Insulin signalling by oxidative stress. Smith GR, Shanley DP. BMC Syst Biol. 2013 May 24;7:41. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Existing models of insulin signalling focus on short term dynamics, rather than the longer term dynamics necessary to understand many physiologically relevant behaviours. We have developed a model of insulin signalling in rodent adipocytes that includes both transcriptional feedback through the Forkhead box type O (FOXO) transcription factor, and interaction with oxidative stress, in addition to the core pathway. In the model Reactive Oxygen Species are both generated endogenously and can be applied externally. They regulate signalling though inhibition of phosphatases and induction of the activity of Stress Activated Protein Kinases, which themselves modulate feedbacks to insulin signalling and FOXO. RESULTS: Insulin and oxidative stress combined produce a lower degree of activation of insulin signalling than insulin alone. Fasting (nutrient withdrawal) and weak oxidative stress upregulate antioxidant defences while stronger oxidative stress leads to a short term activation of insulin signalling but if prolonged can have other effects including degradation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS1) and FOXO. At high insulin the protective effect of moderate oxidative stress may disappear. CONCLUSION: Our model is consistent with a wide range of experimental data, some of which is difficult to explain. Oxidative stress can have effects that are both up- and down-regulatory on insulin signalling. Our model therefore shows the complexity of the interaction between the two pathways and highlights the need for such integrated computational models to give insight into the dysregulation of insulin signalling along with more data at the individual level.A complete SBML model file can be downloaded from BIOMODELS (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels-main) with unique identifier MODEL1212210000.Other files and scripts are available as additional files with this journal article and can be downloaded from https://github.com/graham1034/Smith2012_insulin_signalling.
