Effect of Mut heterozygosity in skeletal muscle gene expression


ABSTRACT: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) have emerged as predictors of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, their potential role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and T2D remains unclear. By integrating data from skeletal muscle gene expression and metabolomic analyses, we demonstrate evidence for perturbation in BCAA metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle from insulin-resistant humans. Experimental modulation of BCAA flux in cultured cells alters fatty acid oxidation in parallel. Furthermore, heterozygosity for the BCAA metabolic enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT) alters muscle lipid metabolism in vivo, resulting in increased muscle triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and increased body weight after high-fat feeding. Together, our results demonstrate that impaired muscle BCAA catabolism may contribute to the development of insulin resistance by reducing fatty acid oxidation and increasing TAG accumulation.
