Project description:Cognitive dysfunction has been accepted as a possible complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but few studies revealed the potential roles of Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cognitive dysfunction in T2D. The purpose of the current research is to demonstrate the specific expression patterns of lncRNA-mRNA in the hippocampi of T2D db/db mice exhibiting cognitive impairment. In this study, the results from behavioral tests showed that T2D db/db mice displayed short-term and spatial working memory deficits compared to db/m mice. Furthermore, western blot analysis demonstrated that compared with db/m mice, p-GSK3β (ser9) protein levels were markedly elevated in T2D db/db mice (P<0.01). In addition, though not statistically significant, the ratio of p-Tau (Ser396) to Tau 46, α-Synuclein expression and p-GSK3α (ser21) expression were also relatively higher in T2D db/db mice than in db/m mice. The microarray profiling revealed that 75 lncRNAs and 26 mRNAs were obviously dysregulated in T2D db/db mice (>2.0 fold change, P<0.05). GO analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed mRNAs participated in immune response, extracellular membrane-bounded organelle and extracellular region. KEGG analysis revealed that the differentially expressed mRNAs were mainly involved in one carbon pool by folate, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, autophagy, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and B cell receptor signaling pathway. An lncRNA‑mRNA coexpression network containing 71 lncRNAs and 26 mRNAs was built to investigate the interaction between lncRNA and mRNA. Collectively, these results revealed the differential hippocampal expression profiles of lncRNAs in T2D mice with cognitive dysfunction, and the findings from this study provide new clues for exploring the potential roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction in T2D.

Project description:Obesity-linked type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major health problem of global epidemic proportions. The onset of T2D is marked by an eventual failure in pancreatic β-cell function and mass that is no longer able to compensate for the inherent insulin resistance and increased metabolic load intrinsic to obesity. However, β-cells have an inbuilt adaptive flexibility enabling them to effectively adjust insulin production rates relative to the metabolic demand. In a commonly used model of obesity-linked T2D, the db/db mouse, we have recently shown that so-called β-cell dysfunction is symptomatic of a marked increase in insulin production attempting to compensate for increased metabolic load. Pancreatic β-cells from these animals have markedly reduced intracellular insulin stores, yet high rates of (pro)insulin secretion (illustrated by severe chronic hyperinsulinemia), together with a substantial increase in proinsulin biosynthesis highlighted by expanded rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. However, when the metabolic overload and/or hyperglycemia is normalized, β-cells from db/db mice quickly restore their insulin stores and normalize secretory function. This demonstrates the β-cell’s adaptive flexibility and indicates that therapeutic approaches applied to encourage β-cell rest are capable of restoring endogenous β-cell function. However, mechanisms that regulate β-cell adaptive flexibility are essentially unknown. To gain deeper mechanistic insight into the molecular events underlying β-cell adaptive flexibility in db/db β-cells, we conducted a combined proteomic and post-translational modification specific proteomic (PTMomics) approach on islets from db/db mice and wild-type controls (WT) with or without prior exposure to normal glucose levels. We identified differential modifications of proteins involved in cell redox homeostasis, protein refolding, protein K48-linked deubiquitination, mRNA/protein export along the microtubules, focal adhesion, ERK1/2 signaling, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone signaling, as well as phosphorylation-regulated sialyltransferase activity, associated with β-cell adaptive flexibility. These proteins are all related to proinsulin biosynthesis and processing, maturation of insulin secretory granules, and vesicular trafficking—core pathways involved in the adaptation of insulin production to meet metabolic demand. Collectively, this study outlines a novel and comprehensive global proteome and PTMome signaling map that highlights important molecular mechanisms related to the adaptive flexibility of β-cell function, providing improved insight into disease pathogenesis of T2D.

Project description:Objective Notch signaling is re-activated in β cells from obese mice, and is causal to β cell dysfunction. Notch activity is determined in part by expression of transmembrane ligand availability in a neighboring cell. We hypothesized that β cell expression of Jagged1 determines the maladaptive Notch response and resultant β cell dysfunction in obese mice. Methods We assessed expression of Notch pathway components in diet-induced obese (DIO) or leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice, and performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in islets from patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). We generated and performed glucose tolerance testing in inducible, β cell-specific Jagged1 gain-of- and loss-of-function mice. We also tested effects of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies to Jagged1 in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays in isolated islets. Results Jag1 was the only Notch ligand that tracked with increased Notch activity in DIO and db/db mice. Consistently, JAG1 tracked with Notch activity in metabolically inflexible β cells enriched in patients with T2D. Neutralizing antibodies to block Jagged1 in islets isolated from DIO and db/db mice potentiated GSIS ex vivo. To demonstrate if β cell Jagged1 is sufficient to cause glucose tolerance in vivo, we generated inducible β cell-specific Jag1 transgenic mice (β-Jag1TG), which showed impaired glucose intolerance due to reduced GSIS. However, β cell-specific Jagged1 loss-of-function (β-Jag1KO) did not protect against HFD-induced insulin secretory defects or glucose intolerance. Conclusions Jagged1 is increased in islets from obese mice and in patients with T2D, and neutralizing Jagged1 antibodies lead to improved GSIS, suggesting that inhibition of Jagged1-Notch signaling may have therapeutic benefit. However, genetic loss-of-function experiments suggest that β cells are not a likely source of the Jagged1 signal.

Project description:Insulin resistance represents a hallmark during the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism 1,2,3. MicroRNA (miR)-dependent posttranscriptional gene silencing has recently been recognized to control gene expression in disease development and progression including that of insulin-resistant T2D. MiRs, whose deregulation alters hepatic insulin sensitivity include miR-143, miR-181 and miR-103/107. Here we report that expression of miR-802 is increased in liver of two obese mouse models and of obese human subjects. Inducible transgenic overexpression of miR-802 in mice causes impaired glucose tolerance and attenuates insulin sensitivity, while reduction of miR-802 expression improves glucose tolerance and insulin action. We identify Hnf1b as a target of miR-802-dependent silencing and shRNA-mediated reduction of Hnf1b in liver causes glucose intolerance, impairs insulin signaling and promotes hepatic gluconeogenesis. In turn, hepatic overexpression of Hnf1b improves insulin sensitivity in db/db mice. Thus, the present study defines a critical role for deregulated expression of miR-802 in the development of obesity-associated impairment of glucose metabolism via targeting Hnf1b and assigns Hnf1b an unexpected role in the control of hepatic insulin sensitivity.

Project description:Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) in skeletal muscle (SK) and fat protects against metabolic damage by stimulating insulin sensitivity. Here we report that mice with selective deletion of endothelial Sirt1 (E-Sirt1-KO) paradoxically exhibit heightened whole-body insulin sensitivity. Akt phosphorylation, glucose uptake, and glycolysis are boosted in SK and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of E-Sirt1-KO mice. E-Sirt1-KO mice have higher energy expenditure and are partially protected from high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Enhanced insulin sensitivity and peripheral tissue Akt phosphorylation in E-Sirt1-KO mice is transferrable to wild-type mice via the systemic circulation after surgical parabiosis. Silencing of Sirt1 in endothelial cells upregulates transcription of the F-actin-binding protein thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4), whose secretion activates Akt in skeletal myotubes. Sirt1 downregulation stimulates endothelial Tβ4 transcription through inhibition of autophagy and upregulation of nuclear factor-kappa B signaling. Thus, unlike Sirt1 in skeletal muscle and fat, endothelial Sirt1 curtails whole-body insulin sensitivity by inhibiting expression of secreted Tβ4.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become an epidemic in our modern lifestyle, likely due to calorie-rich diets overwhelming our adaptive metabolic pathways. One such pathway is mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, and the NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1. Here we show that NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis is severely compromised in metabolic organs by high-fat diet (HFD). Strikingly, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a product of the NAMPT reaction and a key NAD+ intermediate, ameliorates glucose intolerance by restoring NAD+ levels in HFD-induced T2D mice. NMN also enhances hepatic insulin sensitivity and restores gene expression related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and circadian rhythm, partly through SIRT1 activation. Furthermore, NAD+ and NAMPT levels show significant decreases in multiple organs during aging, and NMN improves glucose intolerance and lipid profiles in age-induced T2D mice. These findings provide critical insights into a novel intervention against diet- and age-induced T2D. 4 regular chow fed mice (RC1-4) vs 4 high-fat diet fed (HFD) (HFD1a-4a) mice were analyzed on one chip (Chip-A). 4 HFD mice (HFD1b-4b) vs 4 HFD-NMN treated mice (NMN1-4) were examined on the other chip (Chip-B).

Thus, the present study defines a critical role for deregulated expression of miR-802 in the development of obesity-associated impairment of glucose metabolism via targeting Tcf2 and assigns Tcf2 an unexpected role in the control of hepatic insulin sensitivity. Adenoviruses (Ad5) encoding either GFP (Ad-Ctrl 1-3) or shTcf2 (Ad-shTcf2 1-4) were injected into the tail vein of C57BL/6 mice at 1x10E10 viral particles (VP) per gram bodyweight. Biotin-labeled cDNA was synthesized using GeneChip Whole Transcript Sense Labeling Assay (Affymetrix) according to vendorM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. After fragmentation, cDNAs were hybridized for 17h at 45M-BM-0C on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays. The Arrays were washed and stained in the GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 and scanned on a GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G (Affymetrix). Data intensities were log transformed and normalized with a quantile normalization method using Affymetrix Power Tools. Differentially expressed genes were identified according to statistical evidence indicated by Student's t-test and fold change statistics

Project description:Lifestyle intervention including exercise restores glucose homeostasis and pancreatic β-cell function in type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, exercise compliance is a challenge. Novel alternative or adjuvant approaches are necessary. During exercise, the contracting skeletal muscle acts as endocrine organ via the secretion and endocrine signaling of functional proteins. We postulated that contracting skeletal muscle secretes proteins that target pancreatic β-cells and regulate insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we used an in vitro cell-based skeletal muscle contraction system to uncover proteins released in the muscle secretome. Using an RNAseq screen, we identified growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) as a lead candidate. β-cells, human pancreatic islets, and C57BL/6J mice exposed to acute GDF15 treatment exhibited increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and the mechanism involved activation of the insulin release pathway. Chronic GDF15 treatment in db/db mice reduced insulin resistance and preserved pancreatic PDX-1 expression. Consistently, plasma GDF15 increased concurrently with C-peptide prior to the onset of chronic hyperglycemia in humans with pre-diabetes. In addition, in humans with T2D, exercise-induced GDF15 was associated with enhanced β-cell function. These findings support GDF15 as a potential therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and associated co-morbidities.

Project description:The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing, and it is contributing to the susceptibility to diabetes and its related epidemic in offspring. Although the impacts of paternal T2D on metabolism of offspring have been well established, the exact molecular and mechanistic basis that mediates these impacts remains largely unclear. Here we show that paternal T2D increases the susceptibility to diabetes in offspring through the gametic epigenetic alterations. Paternal T2D led to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in offspring. Relative to controls, offspring of T2D fathers exhibited altered gene expression patterns in the pancreatic islets, with downregulation of several genes involved in glucose metabolism and insulin signaling pathway. Epigenomic profiling of offspring pancreatic islets revealed numerous changes in cytosine methylation depending on paternal T2D, including reproducible changes in methylation over several insulin signaling genes. Paternal T2D altered overall methylome patterns in sperm, with a large portion of differentially methylated genes overlapped with that of pancreatic islets in offspring. Our study revealed, for the first time, that T2D can be inherited transgenerationally through the mammalian germline by an epigenetic manner. Examination of the effect of paternal T2D on the DNA methylation in the pancreatic islets of offspring and in the sperm of father.
