Mexican-American Coronary Artery Disease Study (MACAD)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The MACAD Study, funded by NHLBI, was designed to explore genetic contributions to coronary artery disease and glucose homeostasis traits among Hispanics using a family-based design. The baseline examination of the cohort included the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test from which the two key phenotypes were obtained: insulin sensitivity (M) and metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI). Genome-wide genotyping was obtained under separate funding by NIDDK as a part of the GUARDIAN (Genetics Underlying Diabetes in Hispanics) Consortium.

Project description:Here, we evaluated the appearance and abundance of Multinucleated varian endothelial cells after prolonged exposure (9 days) to high-glucose and high-insulin and characterized their morphology, as well as their mitochondrial mass and function. In addition, we performed a quantitative proteomic differential analysis among endothelial cells cultured under normal-glucose and high glucose+high-insulin.

Project description:<p>TThe IRAS Family Study was a family study designed to examine the genetic and epidemiologic basis of glucose homeostasis traits and abdominal adiposity. Briefly, self-reported Mexican pedigrees were recruited in San Antonio, TX and San Luis Valley, CO. Probands with large families were recruited from the initial non-family-based IRAS Study, which was modestly enriched for impaired glucose tolerance and T2D. GUARDIAN includes 1,024 individuals in 88 pedigrees from the IRAS Family Study. Insulin sensitivity was obtained by FSIGT.</p>

Project description:Genome-wide association studies in human type 2 diabetes (T2D) have renewed interest in the pancreatic islet as a major site of T2D risk. In this study, microarray data collected from mouse islets were used to identify genes that are regulated by cytokines at levels consistent with the chronic low-grade inflammation observed in T2D. The most cytokine-sensitive genes were then examined for association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with acute insulin response to glucose (AIRg) measured in the Genetics UndeRlying DIAbetes in HispaNics (GUARDIAN) study. In GUARDIAN, there was evidence of association of AIRg with SNPs in ARAP3 (5q31.3), F13A1 (6p25.3), KLHL6 (3q27.1), NID1 (1q42.3), PAMR1 (11p13), RIPK2 (8q21.3), and STEAP4 (7q21.12). These data support the mouse islet microarray data in detection of seven novel genes with potential importance to islet dysfunction in T2D. To further assess each gene, murine islets were exposed for 48-hrs to the following stressors representing models of beta-cell failure: 20nM rotenone (oxidative stress), 100nM thapsigargin (ER stress), 10pg/ml IL-1B + 20pg/ml IL-6 (cytokines/low-grade inflammation), 28mM glucose (hyperglycemia), or 50uM palmitate + 100uM oleate + 50uM linoleate (lipotoxicity). RT-PCR revealed that F13a1 was downregulated 3.3-fold by cytokines (P<0.05) and 2.6-fold by rotenone (P<0.05), Klhl6 was upregulated 4.3-fold by thapsigargin (P<0.01), Ripk2 was mildly (1.5-3-fold) but significantly upregulated by all stressors (P<0.05), and STEAP4 was profoundly cytokine-sensitive (167-fold upregulation, P<0.01). These findings reveal promising leads in elucidating islet dysfunction during the development of T2D.

Project description:Elevated plasma cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Individuals treated with cholesterol-lowering statins have increased T2D risk, while individuals with hypercholesterolemia have reduced T2D risk. We explored the relationship between lipid and glucose control by constructing network models from the STARNET study with sequencing data from seven cardiometabolic tissues obtained from CAD patients during coronary artery by-pass grafting surgery. By integrating gene expression, genotype, metabolomic and clinical data, we identified a Glucose and Lipid Determining (GLD) regulatory network showing inverse relationships with lipid and glucose traits. Master regulators of the GLD network also impacted lipid and glucose levels in inverse directions. Experimental knockdown of one of the GLD network master regulators, Lanosterol Synthase (LSS), in mouse confirmed the inverse relationships to glucose and lipid levels as predicted by our model and provided mechanistic insights.

Project description:Exercise training improves whole body glucose homeostasis through effects largely attributed to adaptations in skeletal muscle; however, training also affects other tissues including adipose tissue. To determine if exercise-induced adaptations to adipose tissue contribute to training-induced improvements in glucose homeostasis, subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) from trained or sedentary donor mice was transplanted into the visceral cavity of sedentary recipients. Remarkably, nine days post-transplantation, mice receiving trained scWAT had improved glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin sensitivity compared to mice transplanted with sedentary scWAT or sham-treated mice. Mice transplanted with trained scWAT had increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in tibialis anterior and soleus muscles and brown adipose tissue, suggesting that the transplanted scWAT exerted endocrine effects. Furthermore, the deleterious effects of high-fat feeding on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were completely reversed if high-fat fed recipient mice were transplanted with trained scWAT. In additional experiments, voluntary exercise training by wheel running for only 11 days resulted in profound changes in scWAT including increased expression of ∼1550 genes involved in numerous cellular functions, including metabolism. Exercise training causes adaptations to scWAT that elicit metabolic improvements in other tissues, demonstrating a previously unrecognized role for adipose tissue in the beneficial effects of exercise on systemic glucose homeostasis. Microarray analysis of scWAT obtained from a cohort of mice that were housed in wheel cages for 11 days compared to sedentary control mice.

Project description:The liver may regulate glucose homeostasis by modulating the sensitivity/resistance of peripheral tissues to insulin, by way of the production of secreted proteins, termed hepatokines. To identify hepatic secretory proteins involved in insulin resistance, we performed liver biopsies in humans with or without type 2 diabetes and conducted a comprehensive analysis of gene expression profiles. Samples for analysis were obtained from ten patients with type 2 diabetes and 7 subjects with normal glucose tolerance, who were admitted to Kanazawa University Hospital. Hepatic tissues were obtained with percutaneous needle liver biopsy, and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until use. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
