Project description:Insulin integrates hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, directing nutrients to storage as glycogen and triglyceride. In type 2 diabetes, levels of the former are low and the latter are exaggerated, posing a pathophysiologic and therapeutic conundrum. A branching model1 of insulin signaling, with FoxO1 presiding over glucose production2-5 and Srebp–1c regulating lipogenesis,6-8 provides a potential explanation. Here we illustrate an alternative mechanism that integrates glucose production and lipogenesis under the unifying control of FoxO. Liver–specific ablation of three FoxOs (L–FoxO1,3,4) prevents the induction of glucose–6–phosphatase and the repression of glucokinase during fasting, thus increasing lipogenesis at the expense of glucose production. We document a similar pattern in the early phases of diet-induced insulin resistance, and propose that FoxOs are required to enable the liver to direct nutritionally derived carbons to glucose vs. lipid metabolism. Our data underscore the heterogeneity of hepatic insulin resistance during progression from the metabolic syndrome to overt diabetes, and the conceptual challenge of designing therapies that curtail glucose production without promoting hepatic lipid accumulation. We used microarrays to detail the change of gene expression in liver after knocking out FoxO1,3 and 4.

We used microarrays to detail the change of gene expression in liver after knocking out FoxO1,3 and 4. Liver tissue samples were collected from hepatocyte- specific triple FoxO(1,3, and 4) KO and their littermates control (WT) mice after fasting (22 h) or refeeding (4 h). Gene expression was analyzed by microarray. Mice were on a mixed background of C57BL/6J and 129.

Project description:Hepatic lipid accumulation is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated with hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hyperphagia. Hepatic synthesis of GABA, catalyzed by GABA-transaminase (GABA-T), is upregulated in obese mice. To assess the role of hepatic GABA production in obesity-induced metabolic and energy dysregulation, we treated mice with two pharmacologic GABA-T inhibitors and also knocked down hepatic GABA-T expression using an antisense oligonucleotide. Hepatic GABA-T inhibition and knockdown decreased basal hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, and improved glucose intolerance. GABA-T knockdown improved insulin sensitivity assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps in obese mice. Hepatic GABA-T knockdown also decreased food intake and induced weight loss without altering energy expenditure in obese mice. Data from obese humans support that hepatic GABA production and transport are associated with serum insulin, HOMA-IR, T2D, and BMI. These results support a key role for hepatocyte GABA production in the dysfunctional glucoregulation and feeding behavior associated with obesity.

Project description:Activation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) in the liver has been widely associated with hepatic insulin resistance. PKCε is proposed to inhibit insulin signalling through phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. We have tested this directly by breeding PKCε floxed mice with mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the cytomegalovirus, albumin or adiponectin promoters to generate global, liver- and adipose tissue-specific PKCε knockout (KO) mice. Global deletion of PKCε recapitulated the benefits for diet-induced glucose intolerance that we previously described using conventional PKCε KO mice. However, we did not detect PKCε-dependent alterations in hepatic insulin receptor phosphorylation. Furthermore, liver-specific KO mice were not protected against diet-induced glucose intolerance or insulin resistance determined by euglycemic clamp. In contrast, adipose tissue-specific KO mice exhibited improved glucose tolerance and mildly increased hepatic triglyceride storage, but no change in liver insulin sensitivity. Phosphoproteomic analysis of insulin signalling in PKCε KO adipocytes revealed no defect in the canonical INSR/AKT/mTOR pathways. However, PKCε KO resulted in changes in phosphorylation of several proteins associated with the endosome and cell junctions suggesting regulation in secretory pathways and a potential role of PKCε in endocrine function. Indeed, RNA-seq analysis revealed adipose-tissue PKCε-dependent changes in the hepatic expression of several genes linked to glucose homeostasis and hepatic lipid metabolism. The primary effect of PKCε on glucose homeostasis is therefore not exerted directly in the liver as currently assumed. However, PKCε in adipose tissue modulates glucose tolerance and is involved in crosstalk with the liver that affects gene expression and lipid accumulation.

Project description:Most studies on TCF7L2 SNP variants in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) focus on a role of the encoded transcription factor TCF4 in β-cells. Here, a mouse genetics approach shows that removal of TCF4 from β-cells does not affect their function, while manipulating TCF4 levels in the liver has major effects on metabolism. In Tcf7l2-/- mice, the immediate postnatal surge in liver metabolism does not occur. Consequently, pups die due to hypoglycemia. Combining chromatin immunoprecipitation with gene expression profiling, we identify a TCF4-controlled metabolic gene program that is acutely activated in the postnatal liver. In concordance, adult liver-specific Tcf7l2 knockout mice show reduced hepatic glucose production during fasting and display improved glucose homeostasis when maintained on high-fat diet. Furthermore, liver-specific TCF4 overexpression increases hepatic glucose production. These observations imply that TCF4 directly activates metabolic genes, and that inhibition of Wnt signaling may be beneficial in metabolic disease. RNA was extracted from liver tissues of the Tcf7l2 wildtype or knockout mice with treatments as indicated. Microarray analysis was performed to compare the expression profile changes between Tcf7l2 knockout and wildtype mice in response to treatment.

Project description:To assess the effect of sleep deprivation on glucose metabolism and elucidate the mechanism, we established the mouse model wth C57BL/6J that is useful for the intervention on sleep deprivation associated diabetes and evaluate the liver metabolism and gene expression. Single six hours sleep deprivation induced increased hepatic glucose production assessed by pyruvate tolerance test and the hepatic triglyceride content was significantly higher in the sleep deprivation group than freely sleeping control group. Liver metabolites such as ketone bodies were increased in sleep deprivation group. Some gene expressions which associated with lipogenesis were increased.

Project description:Inactivating mutations in the copper transporter Atp7b result in Wilson’s disease. The Atp7b-/- mouse develops hallmarks of Wilson’s disease. The activity of several nuclear receptors is decreased in Atp7b-/- mice, and nuclear receptors are critical for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Therefore, we anticipated that Atp7b-/- mice would exhibit altered progression of diet-induced obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance. Following 10 weeks on a chow or Western-type diet (40% kcal fat), parameters of glucose and lipid homeostasis were measured. Hepatic metabolites were measured by LC-MS and correlated with transcriptomic data. Atp7b-/- mice fed a chow diet had lower fat mass and were more glucose tolerant than wild type (WT) littermate controls although body weights did not differ between genotypes. On Western diet, Atp7b-/- mice exhibited reduced adiposity and hepatic steatosis compared with WT controls. Atp7b-/- mice fed either diet were more insulin sensitive than WT controls; however, fasted Atp7b-/- mice exhibited hypoglycemia after administration of insulin, due to an impaired glucose counter-regulatory response, as evidenced by reduced hepatic glucose production. Coupling gene expression with metabolomic analyses, we observed striking changes in hepatic metabolic profiles in Atp7b-/- mice. In addition, the active phosphorylated form of AMP kinase was significantly increased in Atp7b-/- mice relative with WT controls. Alterations in hepatic metabolic profiles and nuclear receptor signaling were associated with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, as well as impaired fasting glucose production in Atp7b-/- mice.

Project description:A greater understanding of the glucose homeostasis mediated by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) will facilitate the development of novel glucose-lowering treatments. Here we show that improved glucose metabolism in hypothyroid mice after treatment of T3, the active form of thyroid hormone (TH), is accompanied with increased GLP-1 production and insulin secretion. Treatment of a GLP-1 receptor antagonist is able to attenuate the observed T3 effect on insulin and glucose levels, suggesting that GLP-1 is critically involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by T3. By using a mouse model lacking hepatic TH receptor β (TRβ) and a liver-specific TRβ-selective agonist, we demonstrate that TRβ-mediated hepatic TH signalling is not only required for the regulation of GLP-1 production by T3 but also the insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of T3. Accordingly, administration of the liver-targeted TRβ-selective agonist is capable of increasing GLP-1 and insulin levels and alleviating hyperglycemia in diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, through suppressing CYP8B1 expression, T3 shapes the bile acid (BA) composition and increases the levels of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-antagonistic BAs, thereby potentiating the GLP-1 production and insulin secretion by repressing intestinal FXR signalling. Consistently, correlations between the T3 levels and either GLP-1 or FXR-antagonistic BA levels can be observed in euthyroid human subjects. Thus, our study reveals a previously undescribed role of hepatic TH signalling in glucose homeostasis through the regulation of GLP-1 production via BA-mediated FXR antagonism, which will underpin the development of novel therapeutics.
