Integrated transcriptomic analyses identify altered nerve triglycerides in mouse models of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT: We employed high-fat diet (HFD)-induced prediabetes and HFD/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetes mouse models that develop PN, which we compared to control mice maintained on standard diet (SD) and to HFD and HFD/STZ mice that were subject to SD dietary reversal (DR) half-way through the study. We performed gene expression profiling on sciatic nerves from SD, HFD, HFD-STZ, HFD-DR, and HFD-STZ-DR animal cohorts. Nerve transcriptomic profiles were integrated using complex correlation analyses, and biological meaning was inferred from known lipid-gene interactions in the literature

Project description:The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing globally, with long-term implications for human health and longevity. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in T2D patients, who display an elevated risk of an acute cardiovascular event and worse outcomes following such an insult. The underlying mechanisms that predispose the diabetic heart to this poor prognosis remain to be defined. This study developed a pre-clinical model (Rattus norvegicus) that complemented caloric excess from a high-fat diet (HFD) and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction from streptozotocin (STZ) to produce hyperglycaemia, peripheral insulin resistance, hyperlipidaemia and elevated fat mass to mimic the clinical features of T2D. Ex vivo cardiac function was assessed using Langendorff perfusion with systolic and diastolic contractile depression observed in T2D hearts. Cohorts representing untreated, individual HFD- or STZ-treatments and the combined HFD+STZ approach were used to generate ventricular samples (n=9 per cohort) for sequential and integrated analysis of the proteome, lipidome and metabolome by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This study found that in T2D hearts, HFD treatment primed the metabolome, while STZ treatment was the major driver for changes in the proteome. Both treatments equally impacted the lipidome. Our data suggest that increases in β-oxidation and early TCA cycle intermediates promoted rerouting via 2-oxaloacetate to glutamate, γ aminobutyric acid and glutathione. Furthermore, we suggest that the T2D heart activates networks to redistribute excess acetyl-CoA towards ketogenesis and incomplete β-oxidation through the formation of short-chain acylcarnitine species. Multi-omics provided a global and comprehensive molecular view of the diabetic heart, which distributes substrates and products from excess β-oxidation, reduces metabolic flexibility and impairs capacity to restore high energy reservoirs needed to respond to and prevent subsequent acute cardiovascular events.
