MTORC1 to AMPK Switching Underlies β-Cell Metabolic Plasticity During Maturation and Diabetes

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic beta cells (β-cells) differentiate during fetal life, but only postnatally acquire the capacity for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The molecular mechanisms driving this maturation of β-cell function remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that the control of cellular signaling in β-cells fundamentally switches from the nutrient sensor target of rapamycin (mTORC1) to the energy sensor 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and that this is critical for functional maturation. Moreover, AMPK is activated by the dietary transition taking place during weaning, and this in turn inhibits mTORC1 activity to drive the adult β-cell phenotype. While forcing constitutive mTORC1 signaling in adult β-cells relegates them to a functionally immature phenotype with characteristic transcriptional and metabolic profiles, engineering the switch from mTORC1 to AMPK signaling is sufficient to promote β-cell mitochondrial biogenesis, a shift to oxidative metabolism, and functional maturation. We also show that type 2 diabetes, a condition marked by both mitochondrial degeneration and dysregulated GSIS, is associated with a remarkable reversion of the normal AMPK-dependent adult β-cell signature to a more neonatal one characterized by mTORC1 activation. Manipulating the way in which cellular nutrient signaling pathways regulate β-cell metabolism may thus offer new targets to improve β-cell function in diabetes.

single-cell mRNA sequencing of human embryonic pancreas

Project description:A drastic transition at birth, from constant maternal nutrient supply in utero to intermittent postnatal feeding, requires changes in the metabolic system. Despite their central role in metabolic homeostasis, little is known about how pancreatic beta cells adjust to the new nutritional program. Our experiments show that after birth beta cells shift from amino acid- to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that correlates with the nutritional environment of the animal. This metabolic adaptation is mediated by a transition in nutrient sensitivity of the mTORC1 pathway , which leads toresults in intermittent mTORC1 signaling activity. Disrupting nutrient sensitivity of mTORC1 in mature beta cells affects insulin secretion and reverts them to an immature functional state. Finally, manipulating nutrient sensitivity of mTORC1 in stem cell-derived beta cells in vitro strongly enhances their glucose-responsive insulin secretion. These results reveal a mechanism by which nutrient sensing regulates beta cell function, thereby enabling a metabolic adaptation for the newborn.

mTORC1/AMPK responses define a core gene set for developmental cell fate switching

Project description:The kinases mTORC1 and AMPK are at the nexus of nutrient responses and control of cellular growth. However, responses to nutrient loss are complex and affect multiple transcriptional pathways. We are interested in the mTORC1-directed regulation of transcription networks that specifically regulate developmental decisions. Dictyostelium grow logarithmically as single cells in nutrient-rich media, but, upon nutrient withdrawal, growth ceases and cells enter a program for multi-cellular development. Within 30 minutes of starvation, >4,000 genes show significant (p<0.05) changes in gene expression patterns. However, we hypothesize that not all these gene changes are required for development and that many expression changes reflect stress response to a media shift supplementary to nutrient loss, apart from developmental effects. We, thus, sought ways to promote development in the absence of nutrient loss, to better focus on developmentally essential gene sets. Since kinases mTORC1 and AMPK function as nutrient and energy sensors, we first examined their relative activities in Dictyostelium during phases of rapid growth and starvation-induced development. We found that these kinases exhibited reciprocal patterns of activation under various conditions. With this knowledge, we identified rich media conditions that permitted rapid cell growth, but a growth/development switch upon the directed and reciprocal inactivation/activation of mTORC1/AMPK. Examination of gene expression under conditions of development in nutrient-rich media indicated that changes in expression of most starvation-regulated genes were not required for development. Our data suggest that the up-regulation of ~300 genes defines essential early signaling pathways for developmental induction, integrating cAMP/PKA circuitries and including many unclassified genes.

Hepatic nutrient and hormone signaling to mTORC1 instructs the postnatal metabolic zonation of the liver

Project description:The metabolic functions of the liver are organized spatially in a phenomenon known as zonation. This spatial organization of metabolic functions is linked to the differential exposure of central and portal hepatocytes to either systemic circulation or nutrient-rich blood afferent from the gastrointestinal tract, respectively. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is the central hub of a critical signaling pathway that links cellular metabolism to fluctuations in the levels of nutrients and insulin. To understand how these two signaling cues are integrated in the liver, we have generated mice with constitutive nutrient and insulin signaling to mTORC1 in hepatocytes (RragaGTP/fl; Tsc1fl/fl; Albumin-CreTg mice). Simultaneous activation of nutrient and hormone signaling to mTORC1 results in impaired establishment of the metabolic zonal identity of hepatocytes, a maturation process that takes place within the first weeks after birth. Mechanistically, a decrease in levels of the morphogenic pathway Wnt/β-catenin in hepatocytes and reduced expression of the Wnt2 ligand by liver endothelial cells after birth underlie this impaired wave of hepatocyte maturation. Lack of postnatal establishment of metabolic zonation of the liver is recapitulated in a model of constant supply of nutrients by total parenteral nutrition to neonatal pigs. Collectively, our work shows the critical role of hepatocyte sensing of fluctuations in nutrients and hormones after birth for triggering the latent metabolic zonation program.

An evolutionary mechanism to assimilate new nutrient sensors into the mTORC1 pathway

Project description:Animals sense and respond to nutrient availability in their environments, a task coordinated in part by the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. mTORC1 regulates growth in response to nutrients and, in mammals, senses specific amino acids through specialized sensors that bind the GATOR1/2 signaling hub. Given that animals can occupy diverse niches, we hypothesized that the pathway might evolve distinct sensors in different metazoan phyla. Whether such customization occurs—and how the mTORC1 pathway might capture new inputs—is unknown. Here, we identify the Drosophila melanogaster protein Unmet expectations (CG11596) as a species-restricted methionine sensor that directly binds the fly GATOR2 complex in a fashion antagonized by S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). We find that in Dipterans GATOR2 rapidly evolved the capacity to bind Unmet and to thereby repurpose a previously independent methyltransferase as a SAM sensor. Thus, the modular architecture of the mTORC1 pathway allows it to co-opt preexisting enzymes to expand its nutrient sensing capabilities, revealing a mechanism for conferring evolvability on an otherwise conserved system.

mTORC1 feedback to AKT modulates MiT/TFE-driven lysosomal biogenesis and EGFR degradation

Project description:MiT/TFE transcriptional activity controls lysosomal biogenesis and is negatively regulated by the nutrient sensor mTORC1. Some tumors bypass this regulatory circuit via genetic alterations that drive MiT/TFE expression and activity; however, the mechanisms by which cells with intact or constitutive mTORC1 signaling maintain lysosomal catabolism remain to be elucidated. Using the murine epidermis as a model system, we find that epidermal Tsc1 deletion results in a wavy hair phenotype due to increased EGFR degradation. Unexpectedly, constitutive mTORC1 activation increases lysosomal content via up-regulated expression and activity of MiT/TFEs, while genetic or prolonged pharmacologic mTORC1 inactivation has the reverse effect. This paradoxical up-regulation of lysosomal biogenesis by mTORC1 is mediated by feedback inhibition of AKT, and a resulting suppression of AKT-induced MiT/TFE proteasomal degradation. These data suggest that oncogenic feedback loops work to restrain or maintain cellular lysosomal content during chronically inhibited or constitutively active mTORC1 signaling respectively, and reveal a mechanism by which mTORC1 regulates upstream receptor tyrosine kinase signaling.
