Akkermansia muciniphila secretes a glucagon-like peptide-1-inducing protein that improves glucose homeostasis and ameliorates metabolic disease

ABSTRACT: The gut microbiome is a key factor regulating energy-metabolism, glucose tolerance and the immune system. Akkermansia muciniphila has been identified as being beneficial gut bacterium for metabolic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the molecular mechanisms involved in host interactions have yet to be known. Here, we described the effects of A. muciniphila on thermogenesis and GLP-1 secretion through the specific secretory protein produced by A. muciniphila and its mode of action. A. muciniphila significantly elevated thermogenesis with induction of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and systemic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. Using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrophotometry (MS)/MS analysis, we discovered that a novel 84-kDa protein, P9 is secreted by A. muciniphila and this protein improves obesity and glucose tolerance by inducing GLP-1 secretion and BAT thermogenesis. P9 induces GLP-1 secretion with direct interaction with the specific host protein, intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2), via IL-6 dependent pathway. This novel host-microbe interaction between P9 and ICAM-2 may become a therapeutic target for metabolic diseases.

Project description:Activated brown adipose tissue contributes to control of energy and glucose homeostasis in rodents and humans. Defining cell-autonomous processes underlying BAT differentiation and activation may thus reveal novel therapeutic targets for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus intervention. Here we show that ageing- and obesity-associated demises in BAT function coincide with down-regulation of mature microRNAs in BAT in the presence of reduced expression of the critical microRNA processing enzyme Dicer1. To mimic this partial down-regulation of microRNA processing in obesity and ageing, we inactivated one allele of Dicer1 selectively in BAT of mice. BAT- restricted heterozygosity of Dicer1 caused glucose intolerance in lean mice and aggravated diet-induced-obesity (DIO)-evoked deterioration of glucose homeostasis. Using combinatorial analyses of altered microRNA-expression in BAT during in vitro preadipocyte commitment and mouse models of progeria, longevity and DIO, we identified 23 microRNAs dysregulated among these conditions. Of these, we identified miR-328 as a novel regulator of BAT differentiation. miR-328 over-expression promotes BAT-differentiation and impairs muscle progenitor commitment, while reducing miR-328 expression blocks BAT specification. We validated the ß-Secretase Bace1 as a target of miR-328, which is consequently over-expressed in BAT of obese and premature ageing mice. Reducing Bace1 expression enhances brown adipocyte, while impairing myogenic differentiation in vitro. In vivo small-molecule Bace1 inhibition in obese mice delayed DIO-induced weight gain, ameliorated obesity-associated deterioration of glucose metabolism and improved insulin sensitivity. Collectively, these experiments reveal reduced Dicer1-miR-328-Bace1 axis in presence of generalized impairment of microRNA processing in ageing and obesity as a novel determinant of ageing- and obesity-associated decline in BAT function. This may define in vivo Bace1-inhibition as an innovative therapeutic approach to not only target age-related neurodegenerative diseases but at the same time improving age-related impairment of BAT-function and metabolism. C57BL/6 mice ( 4 weeks of age) were treated with a calory-rich, high-sugar high-fat diet (HFD) for a course of 4 weeks. Then groups were stratified and one group continued to receive HFD (BAT13-15) or HFD supplemented with an experimental small-molecule Bace 1 inhibitor (BAT17, 33, 35).
