Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of microRNAS in islets of mice exposed to low-protein diet during gestation

ABSTRACT: Maternal low-protein diet increases the susceptibility of offspring to type 2 diabetes. An insult to the pancreas during development can have long-term consequences on ?-cell mass and function. Because nutrients and growth factors signaling converge on mTOR, we hypothesized that mTOR plays a central role in ?-cell programming during fetal development. In this study, we revealed that newborns of dams exposed to low-protein diet (LP0.5) throughout pregnancy exhibited decreased insulin levels, ?-cell fraction, and mTOR signaling. Adult LP0.5 offspring demonstrated enhanced insulin sensitivity but remained glucose intolerant due to an insulin secretory defect and not reduced ?-cell mass. The insulin secretory defect was distal to Ca2+ influx, at the level of proinsulin biosynthesis and insulin content. LP0.5 islets exhibited reduced mTOR protein and increased expression of specific microRNAs. The reductions in mTOR protein and insulin secretion in LP0.5 islets were restored to normal by blockade of microRNAs 199a-3p and 342. Finally, transient activation of mTORC1 signaling in ?-cells during the last week of pregnancy rescued the neonatal ?-cell fraction defect and metabolic abnormalities in LP0.5 mice. These findings identify a major role of microRNAs and mTOR in ?-cell programing by maternal low-protein diet. To investigate which microRNAs are altered in islets isolated from 2-3 months old male offspring of dams fed low-protein diet (LP0.5) or control diet throughout pregnancy Pancreatic islets were isolated from 2-3 months old male offspring of dams fed low-protein diet (LP0.5) or control diet throughout pregnancy. Islets were isolated by collagenase digestion. The pancreas was perfused via the common duct with 1 mg/ml collagenase XI (Sigma-Aldrich) in HBSS (Life Technologies). Pancreatic digestion was carried out at 37 °C for 15 min, after which cold HBSS with 2.5% FBS (Life Technologies) was added. The suspension was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30s, washed 3 times with HBSS with 2.5% FBS, resuspended in RPMI complete media (RPMI 1640 with 5 mM Glucose, 10% FBS,100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin) and poured onto a 70 µm cell strainer (BD Falcon, BD Biosciences). Islets were rinsed and handpicked. Islets were allowed to recover overnight in RPMI complete media before RNA isolation using MirVana Kit (Life Technologies).

Project description:Maternal obesity can program metabolic syndrome in offspring but the mechanisms are not well characterized. Moreover, the consequences of maternal overnutrition in the absence of frank obesity remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of maternal consumption of a high fat-sucrose diet on the skeletal muscle metabolic and transcriptional profiles of adult offspring. Female Sprague Dawley rats were fed either a diet rich in saturated fat and sucrose (HFD, 23.5% fat, 20% sucrose wt/wt) or a standard chow diet (NFD, 7% fat, 10% sucrose w/w) for the 3 weeks prior to mating and throughout pregnancy and lactation. Although maternal weights were not different between groups at conception or weaning, HFD dams were ~22% heavier than chow fed dams from mid-pregnancy until 4 days post-partum. Adult male offspring of HFD dams were not heavier than controls but demonstrated features of insulin resistance including elevated plasma insulin concentration (+40%, P<0.05). Next Generation mRNA Sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes in the soleus muscle of offspring, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to detect coordinated changes that are characteristic of a biological function. GSEA identified 15 pathways enriched for up-regulated genes, including cytokine signaling (P<0.005), starch and sucrose metabolism (P<0.017), and inflammatory response (P<0.024). A further 8 pathways were significantly enriched for down-regulated genes including oxidative phosphorylation (P<0.004) and electron transport (P<0.022). Western blots confirmed a ~60% reduction in the phosphorylation of the insulin signaling protein Akt (P<0.05) and ~70% reduction in mitochondrial complexes II (P<0.05) and V expression (P<0.05). On a normal diet, offspring of HFD dams developed an insulin resistant phenotype, with transcriptional evidence of muscle cytokine activation, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. These data indicate that maternal overnutrition, even in the absence of pre-pregnancy obesity can promote metabolic dysregulation and predispose offspring to type 2 diabetes. Messenger RNA profile of skeletal muscle of male offspring from female Sprague Dawley rats fed either a diet rich in saturated fat and sucrose (HFD, 23.5% fat, 20% sucrose wt/wt) or a standard chow diet (NFD, 7% fat, 10% sucrose w/w) for the 3 weeks prior to mating and throughout pregnancy and lactation. There were 5 HFD samples compared to 6 NFD control samples.

Project description:Objective: Procyanidins are polyphenolic bioactive compounds that exert beneficial effects against obesity and its related diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the supplementation with low doses of a grape seed procyanidin extract (GSPE) to dams during pre and postnatal periods has biological effects on their offspring at youth. Design: The metabolic imprinting effect of GSPE was evaluated in 30 days-old male offspring of four groups of rats that were fed either a standard diet (STD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) and supplemented with either GSPE at 25 mg per kg of body weight/day or vehicle during pregnancy and lactation. Results: A significant increase in the adiposity index and in the weight of all the white adipose tissue depots studied (retroperitoneal â??RWAT-, mesenteric â??MWAT-, epididymal â??EWAT- and inguinal â??IWAT-) was observed in offspring of dams fed with a HFD and treated with GSPE (HFT group), compared to the offspring of dams fed with the same diet and that do not received procyanidins (HF group). HFT animals also showed a higher number of cells in the EWAT, a sharply decrease of the circulating levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) as well as a moderate, but significant, decrease of plasma glycerol levels. The transcriptomic analysis performed in the EWAT showed 238 genes differentially expressed between HF and HFT animals, covering an entire range of processes related with the immune function and the inflammatory response (the metabolic pathway mainly reflected in the EWAT), adipose tissue remodeling and function, lipid and glucose homeostasis and metabolism of methyl groups. Conclusion: GSPE treatment to dams fed a HFD during pregnancy and lactation increases adiposity, decreases the circulating levels of MCP-1 and modulates the expression of key genes involved in the adipose tissue metabolism of their offspring. The microarray study was performed with the EWAT RNA samples of rats from the HF and the HFT groups (n=8 animals each).
