Project description:Cachexia, a complex catabolic state, frequently accompanies pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. We previously showed in a murine PDAC model that leucine supplementation improves muscle protein synthesis, but unfortunately also enhances PDAC cell growth, through activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Utilizing the same murine PDAC model, herein we test the hypothesis that the leucine metabolite β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) enhances muscle protein synthesis but (unlike leucine) suppresses PDAC cell growth. Male C57BL/6 mice received either control diet (n=60) or a diet-induced obesity (DIO) regimen (n=60) for 10 weeks, then were subcutaneously injected (right flank) with Panc02 PDAC cells and further randomized to continue their diets ± HMB supplementation and ± gemcitabine chemotherapy. We determined that: a) DIO, relative to control diet, significantly increased Panc02 tumor growth (nearly 4-fold) and impaired chemotherapeutic response to gemcitabine; b) HMB significantly increased muscle fiber size and muscle mTOR activity in both DIO- and control-fed mice; c) HMB decreased tumor growth and partially rescued gemcitabine responsiveness in DIO-fed mice, but had no antitumor effect in control mice; d) gene expression profiling and additional qPCR, immunohistochemistry and in vitro studies indicate DIO promotes an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that is normalized by treatment with HMB. These preclinical findings suggest that HMB has muscle-sparing and anti-tumor activities against PDAC in the context of obesity.

Project description:The progression towards type 2 diabetes depends on the success of the allostatic response of the pancreatic beta cells to synthesise and secrete enough insulin to compensate for insulin resistance. The endocrine pancreas is a plastic tissue able to expand or regress in response to the requirements imposed by physio and pathological states such as pregnancy, obesity or ageing. The mechanisms, mediating beta cell mass expansion in these scenarios are not well defined. We have recently showed that beta cell mass failed to expand in ob/ob mice with genetic ablation of PPARγ2, a mouse model known as the POKO mouse. This phenotype contrasted with the appropriate expansion of the beta cell mass observed in their obese littermate ob/ob mice. Here we investigate PPAR gamma dependent transcriptional responses occurring during early stages of the adaptation of beta cells to insulin resistance. As it could be expected we have identified genes known to regulate proliferation and survival signals of the beta cells. Moreover we have also identified new pathways induced in ob/ob islets that fail to do so in POKO islets. Our data suggest that the expansion of beta cell mass observed in ob/ob islets is associated with activation of immune response and is missing in POKO islets. Other PPARγ dependent differentially regulated pathways include cholesterol biosynthesis, apoptosis through TGF-β signaling and decreased oxidative phosphorylation. In this study, we used gene expression arrays to investigate differences between four experimental classes by pairs

Project description:Pancreatic β-cells have the key homeostatic function of releasing insulin to keep blood glucose in the normal range. It is not fully understood how β-cell mass is determined. Ablation of a nuclear receptor, chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor II (COUP-TFII), in mouse pancreatic β-cells results in glucose intolerance and 50% fewer β-cells during the postnatal period. By testing islets isolated from these mice and cultured β-cells with loss and gain of COUP-TFII function, we found that COUP-TFII induces β-catenin thus upregulating target genes like cyclin D1. Beta-cell expansion triggered by glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is known to be mediated by β-catenin controlling cyclin D1. We show that in the absence of COUP-TFII, exendin-4, an agonist of the GLP-1 receptor, does not fully induce cyclin D1 expression, while overexpression of β-catenin induces cyclin D1. A marked decrease in cyclin D1 expression is detected in islets isolated from transgenic mice lacking both GLP-1 receptor and gastric inhibitory peptide receptor. COUP-TFII is therefore required for GLP-1 activation of the β-catenin-dependent pathway in pancreatic β-cells to increase β-cell number. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which COUP-TFII controls β-cell mass, we determined the RNA profile of COUP-TFII knockdown β-cells using Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays. Computational analysis identified clusters of genes shared by different gene regulatory Networks that are up or down regulated namely genes involved in Wnt/β-catenin signaling, insulin signaling and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism. We determined the RNA profile of COUP-TFII knockdown β-cells (832/13 INS-1 cells transfected with COUP-TFII specific siRNA) with respect to control cells (832/13 INS-1 cells transfected with scrambled siRNA) using Affymetrix expression analysis technical manual 701025Rev.5 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, California, USA). Briefly, 1 mg of total cellular mRNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA (SuperScript Choice System Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) using oligo-dT primers and a T7 RNA polymerase promoter site. The cDNA was in vitro transcribed and biotin-labeled for microarray analysis using the Affymetrix IVT labeling kit. The concentration of labelled cRNA was measured using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer. Labeled cRNA was fragmented in a fragmentation buffer for 35 min at 94°C. The quality of labeled and fragmented cRNA was analyzed using the Agilent bioanalyzer 2100 (Van Lommel et al, 2006). Fragmented cRNA was hybridized to the rat 230 2.0 array (Affymetrix) during 16h at 45°C. Arrays were washed and stained in a fluidics station (Affymetrix) and scanned using the Affymetrix 3000 GeneScanner.

Project description:Increased expression of SIRT1 extends the lifespan of lower organisms and delays the onset of age-related diseases in mammals. Here, we show that SRT2104, a synthetic small molecule activator of SIRT1, extends both mean and maximal lifespan of mice fed a standard diet. This is accompanied by improvements in health, including enhanced motor coordination, performance, bone mineral density and insulin sensitivity associated with higher mitochondrial content and decreased inflammation. Short-term SRT2104 treatment preserves bone and muscle mass in an experimental model of atrophy. These results demonstrate it is possible to design a small molecule that can slow aging and delay multiple age-related diseases in mammals, supporting the therapeutic potential of SIRT1 activators in humans. Key words: Sirtuins, lifespan, healthspan, osteoporosis, muscle wasting, inflammation
