Project description:It is well established that obese animals and humans show deficiencies in skeletal muscle content and metabolism. However, the mechanisms under how skeletal muscle metabolism affects systemic energy homeostasis is not well-defined. Here, we compared the skeletal muscle transcriptome from obese and lean controls in different species. We found an immune-responsive transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) was conserved to be increased in obese subjects from the three species (humans, non-human primates and mice). Thus, we demonstrated that loss of IRF4 specifically in skeletal muscle of mice showed protection against the metabolic effects of high-fat diet, with unexpected increased plasma and muscle branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels. Conversely, overexpression of skeletal muscle IRF4 caused obesity and insulin resistance, with decreased BCAA contents. Mechanistically, IRF4 can transcriptionally regulate branched-chain aminotransferase isozyme (BCATm) expression, and that overexpression of BCATm can reverse the effects of IRF4 depletion regarding to metabolic phenotypes. Further, we demonstrated ablation of IRF4 in skeletal muscle increased mitochondrial activity and glycogen synthesis in a BCATm- dependent manner. These studies establish IRF4 as a novel driver of BCAA metabolism via BCATm in skeletal muscle and may interpret the BCAAs paradox in obesity.

Project description:Branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism is a central hub for energy production and regulation of numerous physiological processes. Controversially, both increased and decreased levels of BCAAs are associated with longevity. Using genetics and multi‐omics analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified adaptive regulation of the ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) in response to defective BCAA catabolic reactions after the initial transamination step. Worms with impaired BCAA metabolism show a slower turnover of a GFP‐based proteasome substrate, which is suppressed by loss‐of‐function of the first BCAA catabolic enzyme, the branched‐chain aminotransferase BCAT‐1. The exogenous supply of BCAA‐derived carboxylic acids, which are known to accumulate in the body fluid of patients with BCAA metabolic disorders, is sufficient to regulate the UPS. The link between BCAA intermediates and UPS function presented here sheds light on the unexplained role of BCAAs in the aging process and opens future possibilities for therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Postoperative insulin resistance refers to the phenomenon that the body’s glucose uptake stimulated by insulin is reduced due to stress effects such as trauma or the inhibitory effect of insulin on liver glucose output is weakened after surgery.
There is a clear link between postoperative insulin resistance and poor perioperative prognosis. Therefore, exploring interventions to reduce postoperative stress insulin resistance, stabilize postoperative blood glucose, and reduce postoperative complications are clinical problems that need to be solved urgently. In recent years, research on branched-chain amino acids and metabolic diseases has become a hot spot. Studies have found that in the rat model, preoperatively given a high branched-chain amino acid diet can inhibit postoperative insulin resistance and stabilize blood glucose levels. This research plan is to try to add branched-chain amino acids before surgery to observe the occurrence of postoperative insulin resistance in patients.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can self-renew indefinitely and have the potential to differentiate into all cell types in the adult organism. Although the developmental plasticity of ESCs is mainly controlled by transcription factors, the intrinsic regulation of this process remains elusive. Here, using whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase-1 (Bcat1) as highly expressed in mouse ESCs. Further, deletion of the Bcat1 gene was found to impair the pluripotency and self-renewal of mouse ESCs and made cells more inclined to differentiate toward epiblast stem cells. Conversely, overexpression of Bcat1 in mouse ESCs resulted in robust self-renewal and the repression of differentiation. Mechanistically, Bcat1 regulates the expression of RAS protein activator like 1 (Rasal1), leading to activation of Ras-Erk/MAPK signaling axis, which controls the expression of a set of core transcription factors that maintain pluripotency and self-renewal. In summary, we identified for the first time that Bcat1 is essential for mouse ESCs self-renewal and pluripotency and that this effect is mediated by the Ras pathway.

Project description:Impaired branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism has recently been implicated in the development of mechanical pain, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here we report that defective BCAA catabolism in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons sensitizes mice to mechanical pain by increasing lactate production and expression of the mechanotransduction channel Piezo2. In high-fat diet-fed obese mice, we observe downregulation of PP2Cm, a key regulator of the BCAA catabolic pathway, in DRG neurons. Mice with conditional knockout of PP2Cm in DRG neurons exhibit mechanical allodynia under normal or SNI-induced neuropathic injury conditions. Furthermore, the VAS scores in the plasma of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain are positively correlated with BCAA contents. Mechanistically, defective BCAA catabolism in DRG neurons promotes lactate production through glycolysis, which increases H3K18la modification and drives Piezo2 expression. Inhibition of lactate production or Piezo2 silencing attenuates the pain phenotype of knockout mice in response to mechanical stimuli. Therefore, our study demonstrates a causal role of defective BCAA catabolism in mechanical pain by enhancing metabolite-mediated epigenetic regulation.

Project description:This study aims to uncover the effects of cancer-derived branched-chain ketoacids on macrophage polarization and the underlying mechanism. We uncovered the global responses of branched-chain ketoacids-stimulated macrophages by proteomics analysis. Functional enrihment analysis indicated that these ketoacids significantly altered macrophage metabolism, apoptosis and phagocytosis.

Project description:Development, growth and adult survival are coordinated with available metabolic resources. The insulin/IGF and TOR signaling pathways relay nutritional status, thereby ascertaining that the organism responds appropriately to environmental conditions. MicroRNAs are short (21-23 nt) regulatory RNAs that confer specificity on the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to inhibit a given set of mRNA targets. We profiled changes in miRNA expression during adult life in Drosophila melanogaster and determined that miR-277 is down-regulated with age. This miRNA controls branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism and the activity of the TOR kinase, a central growth regulator. Metabolite analysis suggests that the mechanistic basis may be an accumulation of BCKAs, rather than BCAAs, thus avoiding potentially detrimental consequences of increased branched chain amino acid levels on e.g. translational fidelity. Constitutive miR-277 expression as well as transgenic inhibition with a miRNA sponge construct shortens lifespan. Furthermore, constitutive miR-277 expression is synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling. Thus, optimal metabolic adaptation requires tuning of cellular BCAA catabolism by miR-277 to be concordant with systemic growth signaling.
