Insulin-induced gene 2 protects against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury via metabolic remodeling.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is the primary reason for complications following hepatectomy and liver transplantation (LT). Insulin-induced gene 2 (Insig2) is one of several proteins that anchor the reticulum in the cytoplasm and is essential for metabolism and inflammatory responses. However, its function in IR injury remains ambiguous.

Methods

Insig2 global knock-out (KO) mice and mice with adeno-associated-virus8 (AAV8)-delivered Insig2 hepatocyte-specific overexpression were subjected to a 70% hepatic IR model. Liver injury was assessed by monitoring hepatic histology, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. Hypoxia/reoxygenation stimulation (H/R) of primary hepatocytes and hypoxia model induced by cobalt chloride (CoCl2) were used for in vitro experiments. Multi-omics analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics was used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying Insig2.

Results

Hepatic Insig2 expression was significantly reduced in clinical samples undergoing LT and the mouse IR model. Our findings showed that Insig2 depletion significantly aggravated IR-induced hepatic inflammation, cell death and injury, whereas Insig2 overexpression caused the opposite phenotypes. The results of in vitro H/R experiments were consistent with those in vivo. Mechanistically, multi-omics analysis revealed that Insig2 is associated with increased antioxidant pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) activity. The inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD), a rate-limiting enzyme of PPP, rescued the protective effect of Insig2 overexpression, exacerbating liver injury. Finally, our findings indicated that mouse IR injury could be attenuated by developing a nanoparticle delivery system that enables liver-targeted delivery of substrate of PPP (glucose 6-phosphate).

Conclusions

Insig2 has a protective function in liver IR by upregulating the PPP activity and remodeling glucose metabolism. The supplementary glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) salt may serve as a viable therapeutic target for alleviating hepatic IR.
