Loss of NAMPT and SIRT2 but not SIRT1 attenuate GLO1 expression and activity in human skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT: Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is the primary enzyme for detoxification of the reactive dicarbonyl methylglyoxal (MG). Loss of GLO1 promotes accumulation of MG resulting in a recapitulation of diabetic phenotypes. We previously demonstrated attenuated GLO1 protein in skeletal muscle from individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, whether GLO1 attenuation occurs prior to T2D and the mechanisms regulating GLO1 abundance in skeletal muscle are unknown. GLO1 expression and activity were determined in skeletal muscle tissue biopsies from 15 lean healthy individuals (LH, BMI: 22.4 ± 0.7) and 5 individuals with obesity (OB, BMI: 32.4 ± 1.3). GLO1 protein was attenuated by 26 ± 0.3 % in OB compared to LH skeletal muscle (p = 0.019). Similar reductions for GLO1 activity were observed (p = 0.102). NRF2 a
