Project description:This study aimed at investigating the impact of chronic ingestion of sebacic acid (SA), a 10 carbons medium-chain dicarboxylic acid, on glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice). Three groups of 15 mice were fed for 6 weeks either a chow diet (Ctrl), or a chow diet supplemented with 1.5% or 15% (SA1.5% and SA15% resp.) energy from SA. Fasting glycemia was measured once a week and HbA1c before and after supplementation. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at the end of the supplementation. Gene expression was determined by transcriptomic analysis on the liver of the Ctrl and SA15% groups. Results-After 42 days of supplementation, fasting glycemia and HbA1c were ~70% and ~25% lower in the SA15% group compared to other groups showing a beneficial effect of SA on hyperglycemia. During OGTT, blood glucose area under the curve (AUC) was reduced after SA15% compared to other groups. This effect was associated with a tendency for an improved insulin response. In the liver, Pck1 and FBP mRNA were statistically decreased in the SA15% compared to Ctrl suggesting a reduced hepatic glucose output induced by SA. Conclusions-Dietary supplementation of SA largely improves glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. This beneficial effect may be due (1) to a reduced hepatic glucose output resulting from transcriptional down regulation of key gluconeogenesis genes and (2) to an improved glucose induced-insulin secretion.

Project description:One of the causes of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is elevated hepatic glucose production. AKT-FOXO1 pathway is primarily involved in the hormonal upregulation of this process, and pharmacological or genetic inhibition of this pathway prevents diabetes in animal models. Here we report that DYRK1B regulates FoxO1 function through phosphorylation to regulate hepatic glucose metabolism. DYRK1B expression is induced by fasting and in diabetic mice. DYRK1B promoted hepatic gluconeogenesis and glucose intolerance in in vivo and in vitro model systems. Liver-specific DYRK1B conditional knockout mice were protected from diet-induced hyperglycemia. Mechanistically, DYRK1B interacted with and phosphorylated FoxO1, primarily at T467S468, which is required for its nuclear localization. DYRK1B inhibited AKT mediated FoxO1 phosphorylation at T24 and S256 and enhanced its nuclear retention. DYRK1B mediated phosphorylation of FoxO1 enhanced the expression of gluconeogenic genes and promoted gluconeogenesis. Treatment with DYRK1B pharmacological inhibitor AZ191 significantly lowered blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. We conclude that DYRK1B is a regulator of glucose metabolism, and its pharmacological inhibition could serve as therapeutic target for treating diabetes.

Project description:Excessive glucose production in the liver is a key factor in the hyperglycemia observed in diabetes mellitus type 2. It is generally agreed to result from an increase in hepatic gluconeogenesis. Considerable attention has been devoted to the transcriptional regulation of key gluconeogenic enzymes, but much less is known about the regulation of amino-acid catabolism, which generates gluconeogenic substrates. Here, we highlight a novel role of LKB1 in this regulation. We show that mice with a hepatocyte-specific deletion of Lkb1 have higher levels of hepatic amino acid catabolism, driving gluconeogenesis. This effect was observed during both fasting and the postprandial period, identifying Lkb1 as a critical suppressor of postprandial hepatic gluconeogenesis. Hepatic Lkb1 deletion was associated with major changes in whole-body metabolism, leading to a lower lean body mass and, in the longer term, sarcopenia and cachexia, as a consequence of the diversion of amino acids to liver metabolism at the expense of muscle. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we identified the aminotransferases and specifically, Agxt as effectors of the suppressor function of Lkb1 in amino acid-driven gluconeogenesis. The present dataset is from the phosphoproteomic analysis of fasting mice in a study where a global quantitative analysis ( PXD013478 ) is also described in the same publication.

Project description:Background In the postabsorptive state, the portal-drained viscera are a major energy consumer, but a comprehensive overview of the adaptive fasting response in the liver is lacking. Hence, gene-expression profiling, pathway, network and gene-set enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry were carried out on mouse liver after 0, 12, 24, and 72 hours of fasting. Results Liver weight has fallen to 50% of control after three days of fasting, hepatocyte size was reduced with no apparent increase in apoptosis, while the basic liver structure and metabolic zonnation were preserved. Expression profiling and pathway analysis depicted four master processes, all with response peaking at 24 hours, and all but one decreasing towards 72h. Changes in gene expression were compatible with cellular energy deficiency, and metabolic adaptations were directed at enhanced glucose production, stimulation of lipid catabolism and ketone body synthesis, and strongly augmented ATP production. Consequently, the expression of genes involved in oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress response was increased. In addition, urea cycle genes were strongly upregulated during whole duration of fasting, in spite no obvious increase in amino-acid catabolism. Major physiological change upon continued fasting was restoration of glycogen reserves, but with reverse localization, demonstrating utilization of different glycogenic precursor compared to the fed controls. Conclusion The changes in liver gene expression indicate a rapid onset of generating glucose and ketone bodies during short, and a return to near normal situation in prolonged fasting. The reason apparently lies in glycogen repletion, due to late fasting glucose production by (gut and) kidney. Keywords: fasting response, time course

Project description:Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) is a post-transcriptional regulator of cellular iron metabolism. Irp1-/- mice are viable but develop polycythemia. We report that these animals also exhibit fasting hypoglycemia and are protected against high fat diet-induced hyperglycemia and liver steatosis. Mechanistically, proteomics analysis revealed mitochondrial dysfunction in Irp1-/-livers. Seahorse assays validated impaired respiratory capacity in primary hepatocytes but also differentiated myotubes from Irp1-/- mice, which caused a switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolytic metabolism for energy production. This was accompanied by increased insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by skeletal muscles. However, under conditions of metabolic stress or iron restriction, IRP1 deficiency prevented appropriate mitochondrial iron supply. Mitochondrial dysfunction and inefficient energy production caused metabolic rewiring and accumulation of metabolites in skeletal muscles of Irp1-/- mice, making them unavailable for gluconeogenesis in the liver. Thus, IRP1 emerges as an important metabolic regulator.

Project description:Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1B (DYRK1B), a member of the CMGC group of kinase, is associated with metabolic syndrome. However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that Dyrk1b expression is induced in liver by fasting and in diabetic mice. Using both in vivo and in vitro studies, we show that DYRK1B promotes hepatic gluconeogenesis and glucose intolerance. Liver-specific Dyrk1b conditional knockout mice were protected from diet-induced hyperglycemia. Mechanistically, DYRK1B interacts with and phosphorylates FOXO1, primarily at Thr467/Ser468, which is essential for its nuclear localization. Additionally, DYRK1B inhibits AKT mediated FOXO1 phosphorylation at Thr24 and Ser256, thereby enhancing its nuclear retention. DYRK1B mediated phosphorylation enhances the expression of gluconeogenic genes and promotes gluconeogenesis. Further, a pharmacological inhibitor of DYRK1B significantly reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. Collectively, these findings offer new insights into DYRK1B’s role in the glucose metabolism and identify it as a new therapeutic target for treating diabetes.

Project description:The liver stores glycogen and releases blood glucose and is therefore essential for glucose metabolism. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in adipose and pancreatic tissues are involved in glucose homeostasis, but the metabolic contribution of liver ILC2s remains unclear. Herein, we show that interleukin (IL)-33 treatment induced IL-13 production in liver ILC2s, which consequently reduced blood glucose levels. IL-13 also directly suppressed gluconeogenesis in primary hepatocytes. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and cell-cell interaction analysis in liver ILC2s and hepatocytes demonstrated that IL-33 administration suppressed gluconeogenesis in a specific Hnf4a/G6pchigh-hepatocyte cluster involving expression of Stat3, which significantly interacted with liver ILC2s via IL-13/IL-13 receptor signaling. To address the regulatory mechanism underlying IL-13 production in liver ILC2s, we performed GATA3 transcriptional complex analysis, and GATA3-ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and scRNA-seq trajectory analyses, focusing on GATA3-interacting proteins that were functionally specific in ILC2s. AP-1 family members were found to suppress the induction of IL-13 in liver ILC2s. Thus, our study revealed a novel role for liver ILC2s in glucose homeostasis.
