Abstract:
Insulin signaling through insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) is important for insulin control of target cells. We have previously demonstrated a rapid and simultaneous overshoot behavior in the phosphorylation dynamics of IR and IRS1 in human adipocytes. Herein, we demonstrate that in murine adipocytes a similar overshoot behavior is not simultaneous for IR and IRS1. The peak of IRS1 phosphorylation, which is a direct consequence of the phosphorylation and the activation of IR, occurs earlier than the peak of IR phosphorylation. We used a conclusive modeling framework to unravel the mechanisms behind this counter-intuitive order of phosphorylation. Through a number of rejections, we demonstrate that two fundamentally different mechanisms may create the reversed order of peaks: (i) two pools of phosphorylated IR, where a large pool of internalized IR peaks late, but phosphorylation of IRS1 is governed by a small plasma membrane-localized pool of IR with an early peak, or (ii) inhibition of the IR-catalyzed phosphorylation of IRS1 by negative feedback. Although (i) may explain the reversed order, this two-pool hypothesis alone requires extensive internalization of IR, which is not supported by experimental data. However, with the additional assumption of limiting concentrations of IRS1, (i) can explain all data. Also, (ii) can explain all available data. Our findings illustrate how modeling can potentiate reasoning, to help draw nontrivial conclusions regarding competing mechanisms in signaling networks. Our work also reveals new differences between human and murine insulin signaling.

Project description:Obesity and its co-morbidities including type 2 diabetes are increasing at epidemic rates in the U.S. and worldwide. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a potential therapeutic to combat obesity and type 2 diabetes. Increasing BAT mass by transplantation improves metabolic health in rodents, but its clinical translation remains a challenge. Here, we investigated if transplantation of 2-4 million differentiated brown pre-adipocytes from mouse BAT stromal fraction (SVF) or human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) could improve metabolic health. Transplantation of differentiated brown pre-adipocytes, termed ‘committed pre-adipocytes’ from BAT SVF from mice or derived from hPSCs improves glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in recipient mice under conditions of diet-induced obesity, and this improvement is mediated through the collaborative actions of the liver transcriptome, tissue AKT signaling and FGF21. These data demonstrate that transplantation of a small number of brown adipocytes has significant long-term translational and therapeutic potential to improve glucose metabolism.

Project description:Insulin resistance increases patient’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and a host of other comorbidities including cardiovascular disease and cancer. At the molecular level, insulin exerts its function through the insulin receptor (IR), a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. Data from human genetic studies have shown that Grb14 functions as a negative modulator of IR activity, and germline Grb14-knockout (KO) mice have improved insulin signaling in liver and muscle tissues. Here, we show that Grb14 knockdown in the liver and the heart with an AAV-shRNA (Grb14-shRNA) improves glucose homeostasis in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. A previous report has shown that germline deletion of Grb14 in mice results in cardiac hypertrophy and decreased systolic function, effects that could severely limit the therapeutic potential of targeting Grb14. In this report, we demonstrate that there are no significant changes in hemodynamic function as measured by echocardiography in DIO Grb14 and DIO sham mice for a period of four months. While additional studies are needed to further establish efficacy and to de-risk potential negative cardiac effects in pre-clinical heart failure models, our data support inhibiting Grb14 to treat diabetes and related conditions.

Project description:Insulin binds the insulin receptor (IR), which in turn has showed to form nanoclusters at the cell membrane. Trying to exploit the nanoscale spatial organization of IR, we developed rod-like insulin-DNA-origami nanostructures carrying different numbers of insulin molecules. These structures (referred to as NanoRods, or NR) were then utilized to investigate receptor activity to spatial distribution of insulin molecules. One part of this investigation was to study the transcriptional response of brown adipocytes treated with NR bound to one insulin (NR-1) and NR bound to seven insulin (NR-7), and compare to untreated controls. Furthermore, free insulin was also used to ensure that similar pathways were activated when using NR-bound insulin.

Project description:We developed a novel network inference approach, Biologically Anchored Knowledge Expansion (BAKE), to analyze large volume gene expression data obtained from a mouse model of insulin resistance progression. Both genetic aspects and dietary factors, specifically high caloric high-fat high-sugar diets, contribute to the progression of insulin resistance. To mimic genetic predisposition, we used a mouse model with double heterozygous deletion of early insulin signaling pathway intermediates, insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) genes. These mice were fed with high-fat (Western) or low-fat (Chow) diet for 8 and 16 weeks starting at 8 weeks of age. Gene expression data was collected from adipocytes isolated from these mice. Applying BAKE analysis to the adipocyte gene expression data, we demonstrate that we can accurately discover a novel regulatory gene in the insulin signaling pathway. The mouse model of double heterozygous deletion of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) was originally introduced as a polygenic model to study the development of type 2 diabetes. This mouse model, on an atherosclerosis-prone ApoE null background (IR+/- IRS1+/- ApoE-/-), also shows increased atherosclerotic lesions due to impaired insulin signaling. For our study we used female double heterozygous mice (IR+/- IRS1+/-, 'Dhet' mice or 'Dâ mice) on an ApoE null background (ApoE-/-, âEâ) fed with a Western (high-fat) diet for 8 (DW8, n=5) and 16 (DW16, n=9) weeks starting at 8 weeks of age or with a Chow (low-fat) diet (DC8, n=7; DC16, n=5). There were also ApoE null mice (ApoE-/-, 'Eâ) fed either Western diet for 8 (EW8, n=6) and 16 (EW16, n=8) weeks or Chow diet for 16 weeks (EC16, n=5) starting at 8 weeks of age.

Project description:Here we show that synthesis of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is an indispensable driver of thermogenic fat function. Cardiolipin biosynthesis is robustly induced in brown and beige adipose upon cold exposure. Mimicking this response by overexpressing cardiolipin synthase (Crls1) enhances energy consumption in mouse and human adipocytes. Crls1 deficiency diminishes mitochondrial uncoupling in brown and beige adipocytes and elicits a nuclear transcriptional response through ER stress-mediated retrograde communication. Cardiolipin depletion in brown and beige fat abolishes adipose thermogenesis and glucose uptake and renders animals strikingly insulin resistant. We further identify a rare human CRLS1 variant associated with insulin resistance and show that adipose CRLS1 levels positively correlate with insulin sensitivity. Thus, adipose cardiolipin is a powerful regulator of organismal energy homeostasis through thermogenic fat bioenergetics.

Project description:Development of insulin resistance is a key pathogenic component underlying metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance are poorly understood. Genome-wide association studies for T2DM and other metabolic traits have led to the identification of many candidate SNPs, but the majority of these SNPs are noncoding and determination of associated causal genes and/or specific tissue sites of action have been difficult. Adipocytes are critical regulators of mammalian metabolic homeostasis, with important effects on appetite, satiety, glucose and lipid homeostasis, energy expenditure, blood pressure, and immune function. Although insulin resistance (IR) in skeletal muscle, the major source of glucose disposal, is responsible for the bulk of the hyperglycemia observed in T2DM, muscle IR KO mice are generally healthy, IR also occurs in adipocytes, and inflammation within adipose tissue has been proposed as a primary mediator of IR, resulting in excess release of free fatty acids as well as alterations in adipokine release. Absence of adipose tissue, as observed in various lipodystrophies, or adipocyte-specific knockout of genes such as GLUT4 or insulin receptor, also alter systemic IR and T2DM risk. Transcriptional changes in adipocytes associated with metabolic disease. Despite the importance of adipocytes to metabolic disease, we have a poor understanding of how the adipocyte transcriptome changes in the disease state. Studies investigating transcriptional changes in whole adipose tissue have shown decreases in genes involved in adipogenesis, as well as alterations in inflammation, mitochondrial metabolism, lipid metabolism, detoxification, and insulin signaling. However, the vast majority of these studies use total adipose tissue samples, which does not allow for the exclusive evaluation of gene expression in mature adipocytes due to the substantial number of nonadipocyte cells (immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pre-adipocytes, and mesenchymal cells) that also reside in adipose tissue. This is particularly relevant when studying metabolic disorders related to obesity-associated insulin resistance because these conditions are characterized by an increased influx of inflammatory cells into the adipose tissue.

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify new genes controlling insulin sensitivity in adipocytes from obese women with either insulin-resistant (OIR) or -sensitive (OIS) adipocytes. 432 genes were differentially expressed between the OIR and OIS group (FDR <5%). These genes are enriched in pathways related to glucose and amino acid metabolism, cellular respiration, and insulin signaling. Two IR-associated genes, KLF15 and SLC25A10, were selected for functional evaluation.

Project description:The aim of this study is to define the molecular alterations occurring in human adipose tissue leading to its dysfunction. While obesity (defined by BMI>30) is strongly associated with insulin resistance and metabolic disorders, some individuals with obesity remain insulin sensitive. Therefore, in this study, we have considered a control group (lean, insuln sensitive: BMI<25, HOMA-IR<2), a group with overweight/obesity but without insulin resistance (BMI>25, HOMA-IR<2) and a group with overweight and insulin resistance (BMI>25, HOMA-IR>3) to dissect the transcriptional changes in viscreal adipose tissue due to increased fat mass, and those associated with metabolic disorder.
