Abstract
Burn injury mediated hypermetabolic syndrome leads to increased mortality among severe burn victims, due to liver failure and muscle wasting. Metabolic changes may persist up to 2 years following the injury. Thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms of the pathology is crucially important to develop appropriate therapeutic approaches. We present detailed metabolomic and lipidomic analyses of the liver and muscle tissues in a rat model with a 30% body surface area burn injury located at the dorsal skin. Three hundred and thirty-eight of 1587 detected metabolites and lipids in the liver and 119 of 1504 in the muscle tissue exhibited statistically significant alterations. We observed excessive accumulation of triacylglycerols, decreased levels of S-adenosylmethionine, increased levels of glutamine and xenobiotics in the liver tissue. Additionally, the levels of gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites are generally decreased in the liver. On the other hand, burn injury muscle tissue exhibits increased levels of acyl-carnitines, alpha-hydroxyisovalerate, ophthalmate, alpha-hydroxybutyrate, and decreased levels of reduced glutathione. The results of this preliminary study provide compelling observations that liver and muscle tissues undergo distinctly different changes during hypermetabolism, possibly reflecting liver-muscle crosstalk. The liver and muscle tissues might be exacerbating each other's metabolic pathologies, via excessive utilization of certain metabolites produced by each other.

Effect of chitinase-3-like protein 1 on glucose metabolism: In vitro skeletal muscle and human genetic association study. FASEB J 2020; 34:13445-13460. [PMID: 32816366 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202000925r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
We investigated the effect of chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) on glucose metabolism and its underlying mechanisms in skeletal muscle cells, and evaluated whether the observed effects are relevant in humans. CHI3L1 was associated with increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscles in an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent manner, and with increased intracellular calcium levels via PAR2. The improvement in glucose metabolism observed in an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test on male C57BL/6J mice supported this association. Inhibition of the CaMKK was associated with suppression of CHI3L1-mediated glucose uptake. Additionally, CHI3L1 was found to influence glucose uptake through the PI3K/AKT pathway. Results suggested that CHI3L1 stimulated the phosphorylation of AS160 and p38 MAPK downstream of AMPK and AKT, and the resultant GLUT4 translocation. In primary myoblast cells, stimulation of AMPK and AKT was observed in response to CHI3L1, underscoring the biological relevance of CHI3L1. CHI3L1 levels were elevated in cells under conditions that mimic exercise in vitro and in exercised mice in vivo, indicating that CHI3L1 is secreted during muscle contraction. Finally, similar associations between CHI3L1 and metabolic parameters were observed in humans alongside genotype associations between CHI3L1 and diabetes at the population level. CHI3L1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes.

J Pharm Pharmacol 2020; 72:1667-1693.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The myoblast cell line, C2C12, has been utilised extensively in vitro as an examination model in understanding metabolic disease progression. Although it is indispensable in both preclinical and pharmaceutical research, a comprehensive review of its use in the investigation of insulin resistance progression and pharmaceutical development is not available. KEY FINDINGS C2C12 is a well-documented model, which can facilitate our understanding in glucose metabolism, insulin signalling mechanism, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species and glucose transporters at cellular and molecular levels. With the aid of the C2C12 model, recent studies revealed that insulin resistance has close relationship with various metabolic diseases in terms of disease progression, pathogenesis and therapeutic management. A holistic, safe and effective disease management is highly of interest. Therefore, significant efforts have been paid to explore novel drug compounds and natural herbs that can elicit therapeutic effects in the targeted sites at both cellular (e.g. mitochondria, glucose transporter) and molecular level (e.g. genes, signalling pathway). SUMMARY The use of C2C12 myoblast cell line is meaningful in pharmaceutical and biomedical research due to their expression of GLUT-4 and other features that are representative to human skeletal muscle cells. With the use of the C2C12 cell model, the impact of drug delivery systems (nanoparticles and quantum dots) on skeletal muscle, as well as the relationship between exercise, pancreatic β-cells and endothelial cells, was discovered.

Abstract
Blood glucose clearance relies on insulin-stimulated exocytosis of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) from sites of sequestration in muscle and fat. This work demonstrates that, in humans, CHC22 clathrin controls GLUT4 traffic from the ER-to-Golgi intermediate compartment to sites of sequestration during GLUT4 pathway biogenesis. Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) is sequestered inside muscle and fat and then released by vesicle traffic to the cell surface in response to postprandial insulin for blood glucose clearance. Here, we map the biogenesis of this GLUT4 traffic pathway in humans, which involves clathrin isoform CHC22. We observe that GLUT4 transits through the early secretory pathway more slowly than the constitutively secreted GLUT1 transporter and localize CHC22 to the ER-to-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). CHC22 functions in transport from the ERGIC, as demonstrated by an essential role in forming the replication vacuole of Legionella pneumophila bacteria, which requires ERGIC-derived membrane. CHC22 complexes with ERGIC tether p115, GLUT4, and sortilin, and downregulation of either p115 or CHC22, but not GM130 or sortilin, abrogates insulin-responsive GLUT4 release. This indicates that CHC22 traffic initiates human GLUT4 sequestration from the ERGIC and defines a role for CHC22 in addition to retrograde sorting of GLUT4 after endocytic recapture, enhancing pathways for GLUT4 sequestration in humans relative to mice, which lack CHC22.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is produced by various types of cells under physical or pathological conditions. As a multifunctional partner in health and disease, current evidence reveals that IL-33 also participates in several metabolic processes. IL-33 has been proven to contribute to regulating the activity of ST2+ group 2 innate lymphoid cells and regulatory T cells in adipose, which leads to the shift of insulin sensitivity and glucose clearance in glucose metabolism, thermogenesis, and adipocyte beiging in adipose metabolism. In this review, we briefly summarize the biological characteristics of Il-33 and discuss its regulatory function in glucose and adipose metabolism. By clarifying the underlying mechanism of IL-33, we highlight the crosstalk between immune response and metabolic processes mediated by IL-33.

Abstract
AIMS Scutellarein (Sc), a natural compound and an active ingredient of Erigeronbrevis-capus (Vant.), shows anti-obesity, anti-inflammation and lipid-lowering properties in our previous study. However, no previous in vivo and vitro has been conducted to assess the effects of Sc in insulin resistance (IR). This study investigated the effects of Sc on IR and oxidative stress and explored the underlying mechanisms of action in vivo and vitro. MATERIAL AND METHOD A well-established mouse model of IR, induced by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, was applied in this study. The effects of Sc were evaluated on obesity, glycometabolism disorder and oxidative stress. The anti-IR effect was assessed using blood glucose, serum insulin, HOMA index, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (IPGTT), intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests (IPITT), and glucose-regulating enzyme activity. The insulin signaling pathways and AMPKα expressions were tested by Western blot. The primary culture of hepatocytes was prepared and used for confirming the above signaling pathways. RESULTS Obesity, IR and oxidative stress developed in HFD mice. Administration of Sc at a dose of 50mg/kg for 16 weeks effectively attenuated these changes. Further studies revealed the antagonistic effect of Sc on IR was a result of the activation of the insulin signaling pathway and AMPKα. The primary hepatocyte test, stimulated by high glucose, further confirmed that SC exerts anti-IR through the above signaling pathway and key protein. CONCLUSION These results suggested that Sc possesses not only an important novel anti-IR effect but also an anti-oxidative stress effect. These favorable effects were causally associated with weight loss and the improved glycometabolism. The underlying mechanisms might associated with the activation of the insulin signaling pathway and AMPKα. Our study promotes the understanding of the pharmacological actions of Sc, and plays a role for Sc in the effective treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Adaptive regulation of epithelial transporters to nutrient intake is essential to decrease energy costs of their synthesis and maintenance, however such regulation is understudied. Previously we demonstrated that the transport function of the basolateral amino acid uniporter LAT4 (Slc43a2) is increased by dephosphorylation of serine 274 (S274) and nearly abolished by dephosphorylation of serine 297 (S297) when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Phosphorylation changes in the jejunum of food-entrained mice suggested an increase in LAT4 transport function during food expectation. Thus, we investigated further how phosphorylation, expression and localization of mouse intestinal LAT4 respond to food-entrained diurnal rhythm and dietary protein content. In mice entrained with 18% protein diet, LAT4 mRNA was not submitted to diurnal regulation, unlike mRNAs of luminal symporters and antiporters. Only in duodenum, LAT4 protein expression increased during food intake. Concurrently, S274 phosphorylation was decreased in all three small intestinal segments, whereas S297 phosphorylation was increased only in jejunum. Interestingly, during food intake, S274 phosphorylation was nearly absent in ileum and accompanied by strong phosphorylation of mTORC1 target S6. Entraining mice with 8% protein diet provoked a shift in jejunal LAT4 localization from the cell surface to intracellular stores and increased S274 phosphorylation in both jejunum and ileum during food anticipation, suggesting decreased transport function. In contrast, 40% dietary protein content led to increased LAT4 expression in jejunum and its internalization in ileum. Ex vivo treatments of isolated intestinal villi fraction demonstrated that S274 phosphorylation was stimulated by protein kinase A. Rapamycin-sensitive insulin treatment and amino acids increased S297 phosphorylation, suggesting that the response to food intake might be regulated via the insulin-mTORC1 pathway. Ghrelin, an oscillating orexigenic hormone, did not affect phosphorylation of intestinal LAT4. Overall, we show that phosphorylation, expression and localization of intestinal mouse LAT4 responds to diurnal and dietary stimuli in location-specific manner.

Abstract
Pregnancy hypertensive disorders such as Preeclampsia (PE) are strongly correlated with insulin resistance, a condition in which the metabolic handling of D-glucose is deficient. In addition, the impact of preeclampsia is enhanced by other insulin-resistant disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity. For this reason, there is a clear association between maternal insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity and the development of PE. However, whether PE is a consequence or the cause of these disorders is still unclear. Insulin therapy is usually recommended to pregnant women with diabetes mellitus when dietary and lifestyle measures have failed. The advantage of insulin therapy for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) patients with hypertension is still controversial; surprisingly, there are no studies in which insulin therapy has been used in patients with hypertension in pregnancy without or with an established GDM. This review is focused on the use of insulin therapy in hypertensive disorders in the pregnancy and its effect on offspring and mother later in life. PubMed and relevant medical databases have been screened for literature covering research in the field especially in the last 5-10 years.

Abstract
Regulation of endothelial nutrient transport is poorly understood. Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF‐B) signaling in endothelial cells promotes uptake and transcytosis of fatty acids from the bloodstream to the underlying tissue, advancing pathological lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity in diabetic complications. Here, we demonstrate that VEGF‐B limits endothelial glucose transport independent of fatty acid uptake. Specifically, VEGF‐B signaling impairs recycling of low‐density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) to the plasma membrane, leading to reduced cholesterol uptake and membrane cholesterol loading. Reduced cholesterol levels in the membrane leads to a decrease in glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)‐dependent endothelial glucose uptake. Inhibiting VEGF‐B in vivo reconstitutes membrane cholesterol levels and restores glucose uptake, which is of particular relevance for conditions involving insulin resistance and diabetic complications. In summary, our study reveals a mechanism whereby VEGF‐B regulates endothelial nutrient uptake and highlights the impact of membrane cholesterol for regulation of endothelial glucose transport.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) acts as a novel factor in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in animal models by regulating energy expenditure. People with obesity have a lower content of FGF19 and lose muscle mass easily. However, as the main energy metabolism organelles, the involvement of mitochondria in the protective effect of FGF19 is still unknown. In this study, the protective effects of FGF19 on palmitate-induced damages in differentiated mouse myoblast cells (C2C12) were studied, including myotube morphology, mitochondrial function and the regulation of pathways and genes. Excessive palmitate resulted in myotube atrophy and activation of the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway in C2C12 cells. Palmitate also inhibited glucose uptake and induced insulin resistance. FGF19 addition during the differentiation of C2C12 cells, returned the palmitate-induced mitochondrial respiration and apoptosis to the control levels and improved the insulin sensitivity. The palmitate-induced upregulation of genes involved in β-oxidation (PPARβ/δ, PPARγ, UCP-1, MCAD) and the downregulation of genes related to myotube atrophy (PPARα, PGC-1α and PGC-1β) were also alleviated by FGF19. In summary, FGF19 prevented excessive palmitate-induced dysfunction of C2C12 cells by protecting mitochondrial overload and apoptosis and maintaining normal insulin signaling.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE San-Huang-Tang (ST), a classic prescription, has been clinically used to cure diabetes and diabetes-associated metabolic disorders. Established studies have reported that ST can alleviate inflammation, obesity, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. AIM OF THE STUDY To the best of our knowledge, here, we reported for the first time the underlying mechanistic therapeutic efficacy of the ST against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in high-fat induced obese and galr1-deficient diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The obese and galr1-deficient mice were treated with ST at a dose of 10 g/kg every day for three weeks. Then food intake, body weight and insulin resistance indexes were measured. Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and plasma biochemical analyses were applied. RESULTS ST reduced food intake, body weight, blood glucose level and insulin resistance, improved glucose tolerance in obese and galr1-deficient mice. Mechanistically, we confirmed that ST protected against NAFLD through activation of PGC-1α and its downstream signaling pathways as shown by the attenuated hepatic adipogenesis and lipid accumulation, increased hepatic fatty acid oxidation, regulated plasma lipid parameters, and increased energy expenditure and metabolic function in fat and muscle. CONCLUSIONS Reduction in food intake produced by ST may contribute to the observed metabolic effects. Our findings strongly suggest that ST might be a potential novel therapeutic drug against obesity/diabetes-induced NAFLD and other metabolic disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Our published literature indicated that chromium citrate could regulate the glycemic index in alloxaninduced diabetic mice. The present study investigated the mechanism of chromium citrate in insulin resistance (IR) buffalo rat liver (BRL) cells. MATERIALS And METHODS: Chromium citrate was synthesized in our laboratory. BRL cells were purchased from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Bank. The glucose transport and IR affected by chromium citrate in BRL cells were examined. The Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) and glucose assay experiments were measured by microplate ELISA reader. The protein kinase B (Akt), glucose transporter-4 (Glut4), and phosphor-AMP-activated protein kinase β1 levels were tested by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of glucose transport proteins (Akt2, Glut4, and AMPactivated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2)) and insulin sensitivity proteins (insulin receptor substrate1 (IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)) was measured by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The results indicated that the glucose absorption level of chromium citrate groups was higher than model group significantly. It demonstrated that chromium citrate could significantly improve glucose absorption in IR BRL cells. The Akt, Glut4, and phosphor-AMPKβ1 levels in chromium citrate groups (at doses of 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 μg Cr/mL) were markedly improved when compared with the other experiment groups, and chromium citrate could more effectively increase the Akt level than chromium trichloride. In addition, the mRNA expression of Akt2, Glut4, and AMPKα2 in chromium citrate groups was significantly improved when contrasted with model group. CONCLUSION: The consequences illustrated that chromium citrate can affect the IR BRL cells' ameliorating glucose transport and IR.

Abstract
Aging induces gradual accumulation of damages in cells and tissues, which leads to physiological dysfunctions. Aging-associated muscle dysfunction is commonly seen in aged population and severely affects their physical activity and life quality, against which aerobic training has been shown to exert antagonizing or alleviating effects. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in various physiological processes, yet their involvement in aging-associated muscle dysfunction is not well understood. In this study, we performed comprehensive analysis of circRNAs profiles in quadriceps muscles in sedentary young and aging mice, as well as aging mice with aerobic exercise using RNA sequencing. Our results identified circRNAs altered by factors of aging and aerobic exercise. Their host genes were then predicted and analyzed by gene ontology enrichment analysis. Importantly, we found that circBBS9 featured decreased levels in aging compared to young mice and elevated expression in exercise versus sedentary aging mice. Besides, we performed GO and KEGG analysis on circBBS9 target genes, as well as established the circBBS9-miRNA-mRNAs interaction network. Our results indicate that circBBS9 may play active roles in muscle aging by mediating the benefits of aerobic training intervention, thus may serve as a novel therapeutic target combating aging-associated muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
Insulin-regulated trafficking of the facilitative glucose transporter GLUT4 has been studied in many cell types. The translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular membranes to the cell surface is often described as a highly specialised form of membrane traffic restricted to certain cell types such as fat and muscle, which are the major storage depots for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Here, we discuss evidence that favours the argument that rather than being restricted to specialised cell types, the machinery through which insulin regulates GLUT4 traffic is present in all cell types. This is an important point as it provides confidence in the use of experimentally tractable model systems to interrogate the trafficking itinerary of GLUT4.

Beta-sitosterol attenuates insulin resistance in adipose tissue via IRS-1/Akt mediated insulin signaling in high fat diet and sucrose induced type-2 diabetic rats. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 873:173004.

Abstract
In our previous study, we have shown that β-sitosterol (SIT) enhances glycemic control by increasing the activation of insulin receptor (IR) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) proteins in adipose tissue. However, the possible role of SIT on the regulation of post-receptor insulin signal transduction is not known. Hence, the study was aimed to assess the effects of SIT on IRS-1/Akt mediated insulin signaling molecules in high-fat diet and sucrose induced type-2 diabetic rats. An oral effective dose of SIT (20 mg/kg b.wt) was given for 30 days to high fat-fed type-2 diabetic rats to find out whether SIT regulates IRS-1/Akt pathway of insulin signaling. The results showed that SIT attenuated the insulin receptor substrate-1 serine phosphorylation (p-IRS-1Ser636) (P = 0.0003). However, it up-regulated the mRNA expression of IR (P = 0.0036) and post-receptor insulin signaling molecules such as IRS-1 (P < 0.0001), β-arrestin-2 (P < 0.0058), Akt (P = 0.0008), AS160 (P = 0.0030) and GLUT4 (P < 0.0001) with a concomitant increase in the levels of IRS-1(P < 0.0001), p-IRS1-1Tyr632 (P = 0.0014), Akt (P < 0.0001), p-AktSer473/Thr308 (P = 0.0006; P < 0.0001), AS160 and p-AS160Thr642 (P < 0.0001) compared with type-2 diabetic rats. In Silico analysis was also performed and it showed that SIT possesses the greater binding affinity with β-arrestin-2, c-Src, and IRS-1 as well as Akt proteins and proved to attenuate insulin resistance as this study coincides with in vivo findings. Our present study clearly shows that SIT attenuates high fat diet-induced detrimental changes in adipose tissue. Therefore, it is concluded from the present findings that, SIT could be used as potential therapeutic phytomedicine for the management of type-2 diabetes.

Abstract
The facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses an actin-based motility process to spread within human tissues. Filamentous actin from the human cell forms a tail behind bacteria, propelling microbes through the cytoplasm. Motile bacteria remodel the host plasma membrane into protrusions that are internalized by neighboring cells. A critical unresolved question is whether generation of protrusions by Listeria involves stimulation of host processes apart from actin polymerization. Here we demonstrate that efficient protrusion formation in polarized epithelial cells involves bacterial subversion of host exocytosis. Confocal microscopy imaging indicated that exocytosis is up-regulated in protrusions of Listeria in a manner that depends on the host exocyst complex. Depletion of components of the exocyst complex by RNA interference inhibited the formation of Listeria protrusions and subsequent cell-to-cell spread of bacteria. Additional genetic studies indicated important roles for the exocyst regulators Rab8 and Rab11 in bacterial protrusion formation and spread. The secreted Listeria virulence factor InlC associated with the exocyst component Exo70 and mediated the recruitment of Exo70 to bacterial protrusions. Depletion of exocyst proteins reduced the length of Listeria protrusions, suggesting that the exocyst complex promotes protrusion elongation. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Listeria exploits host exocytosis to stimulate intercellular spread of bacteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucose and lipid metabolism disorders are a major risk factor for type II diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Evidence has indicated that the interplay between the liver and adipose tissue is crucial in maintaining energy homeostasis. Recently, the interaction between two distant endocrine organs mainly focuses on the regulation of hormones and receptors. However, as a novel carrier in the inter-tissue communication, exosomes plays a role in liver-fat crosstalk, but its effects on glucose and lipid metabolisms are still unclear. In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of hepatic exosome-derived miR-130a-3p in the regulation of glucose/lipid metabolism in adipose tissues. MEASURE In vivo, we constructed generalized miR-130a-3p knockout (130KO) and overexpressed (130OE) mice. Wild type (WT), 130KO and 130OE mice (n = 10) were assigned to a randomized controlled trial and were fed diets with either 10% (standard diet, SD) or 60% (high-fat diet, HFD) of total calories from fat (lard). Next, hepatic exosomes were extracted from WT-SD, 130KO-SD and 130OE-SD mice (WT-EXO, KO-EXO, OE-EXO), and 130KO mice were injected with 100 mg hepatic exosomes of different sources via tail-vein (once every 48 h) for 28 days, fed with HFD. In vitro, 3T3-L1 cells were treated with miR-130a-3p mimics, inhibitor and hepatic exosomes. Growth performance and glucose and lipid metabolic profiles were examined. RESULTS After feeding with HFD, the weights of 130KO mice were markedly higher than WT mice. Over-expression of miR-130a-3p in 130OE mice and intravenous injection of 130OE-EXO in 130KO mice contributed to a positive correlation with the recovery of insulin resistance. In addition, miR-130a-3p mimics and 130OE-EXO treatment of 3T3-L1 cells exhibited decreasing generations of lipid droplets and increasing glucose uptake. Conversely, inhibition of miR-130a-3p in vitro and in vivo resulted in opposite phenotype changes. Furthermore, PHLPP2 was identified as a direct target of miR-130a-3p, and the hepatic exosome-derived miR-130a-3p could improve glucose intolerance via suppressing PHLPP2 to activate AKT-AS160-GLUT4 signaling pathway in adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that hepatic exosome-derived miR-130a regulated energy metabolism in adipose tissues, and elucidated a new molecular mechanism that hepatic exosome-derived miR-130a-3p is a crucial participant in organismic energy homeostasis through mediating crosstalk between the liver and adipose tissues.

Validation of mouse phosphoprotein enriched in astrocyte 15 (mPEA15) expressing transgenic pig as a potential model in diabetes translational research. 3 Biotech 2020; 10:34. [PMID: 31988828 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-019-2021-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the characteristics of mPEA15 expressing transgenic pig (TG pig) as a potential model for diabetes. Expression analysis confirmed the ubiquitous expression of mPEA15 in TG pigs at F4. Oral glucose tolerance test results showed that restoration of normal glucose levels was significantly delayed in the TG pigs when compared with that in the wild-type pigs (WT pigs). Primary skeletal muscle cells isolated from TG pigs demonstrated reduced glucose uptake and reduced GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in response to insulin treatment. Combined, these results suggest that mPEA15 expressing pigs has a glucose intolerance and insulin resistance which are known to mediate the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, mPEA15 transgenic pigs would serve as a promising model for diabetes translational research.

Abstract
Myokines are molecules produced and secreted by skeletal muscle to act in an auto-, para- and endocrine manner to alter physiological function of target tissues. The growing number of effects of myokines on metabolism of distant tissues provides a compelling case for crosstalk between skeletal muscle and other tissues and organs to regulate metabolic homoeostasis. In this review, we summarize and discuss the current knowledge regarding the impact on metabolism of several canonical and recently identified myokines. We focus specifically on myostatin, β-aminoisobutyric acid, interleukin-15, meteorin-like and myonectin, and discuss how these myokines are induced and regulated as well as their overall function. We also review how these myokines may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers that reflect whole-body metabolism and how they may be attractive therapeutic targets for treating muscle and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the capability to take up glucose from the circulation. Despite the important role of BAT in the control of glucose homeostasis, the metabolic fate and function of glucose in BAT remain elusive as there is clear dissociation between glucose uptake and BAT thermogenesis. Interestingly, intracellular glycolysis and lactate production appear to be required for glucose uptake by BAT. Here, we specifically examine whether activation of lactate receptors in BAT plays a key role in regulating glucose homeostasis in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). When C57BL/6J mice are given HFD for 5 weeks at 28°C, male, but not female, mice gain body weight and develop hyperglycemia. Importantly, high-fat feeding upregulates expression of the lactate receptor hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1) in female C57BL/6J mice, whereas male C57BL/6J mice show reduced HCAR1 expression in BAT. Treatment with the HCAR1 agonist lowers systemic glucose levels in male DIO mice. This reduction is associated with increased glucose uptake in BAT. Therefore, our results suggest that HCAR1 in BAT may contribute to the development of hyperglycemia in male C57BL/6J DIO mice.

Abstract
Defective translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the cell surface is a key feature of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism of GLUT4 translocation is of primary importance. The mammalian Bag6/Bat3 gene has been suggested to be linked with potential obesity- and diabetes-associated loci, while its function in the control of glucose incorporation into the cytoplasm has not been investigated. In this study, we established a series of cell lines that stably expressed GLUT4 with three tandem repeats of the antigenic peptide inserted into its 1st extracellular loop. With these cell lines, we found that the depletion of endogenous BAG6 downregulated the cell surface expression of GLUT4, concomitant with the reduced incorporation of a glucose analog into the cells. Defective intracellular translocation of GLUT4 in BAG6-depleted cells is similar to the case observed for the depletion of Rab8a, an essential regulator of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. In addition, we observed that the assembly of syntaxin 6 into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane was slightly disturbed under BAG6 depletion. Given that Rab8a and syntaxin 6 are critical for GLUT4 translocation, we suggest that BAG6 may play multiple roles in the trafficking of glucose transporters to the cell surface. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper. Summary: BAG6 is critical for the insulin-stimulated translocation of GLUT4 from its peri-nuclear storage compartments to the cell surface.

Abstract
The cardiovascular disease (CVD) frequently developed during metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased levels of aggregation-prone small LDL particles. Aggregated LDL (aggLDL) internalization is mediated by low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) promoting intracellular cholesteryl ester (CE) accumulation. Additionally, LRP1 plays a key function in the regulation of insulin receptor (IR) and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) activities. Nevertheless, the link between LRP1, CE accumulation, and insulin response has not been previously studied in cardiomyocytes. We aimed to identify mechanisms through which aggLDL, by its interaction with LRP1, produce CE accumulation and affects the insulin-induced intracellular signaling and GLUT4 trafficking in HL-1 cells. We demonstrated that LRP1 mediates the endocytosis of aggLDL and promotes CE accumulation in these cells. Moreover, aggLDL reduced the molecular association between IR and LRP1 and impaired insulin-induced intracellular signaling activation. Finally, aggLDL affected GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane and the 2-NBDG uptake in insulin-stimulated cells. We conclude that LRP1 is a key regulator of the insulin response, which can be altered by CE accumulation through LRP1-mediated aggLDL endocytosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current strategies for prevention and treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are not fully effective and frequently accompanied by many negative effects. Therefore, novel ways to prevent insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are urgently needed. The roots of Scutellaria radix are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicines for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, dysentery, and other respiratory disorders. Baicalin and baicalein are the major and active ingredient extracts from Scutellaria baicalensis. METHODS A comprehensive and systematic review of literature on baicalin and baicalein was carried out. RESULTS Emerging evidence indicated that baicalin and baicalein possessed hepatoprotective, anti-oxidative, anti-dyslipidemic, anti-lipogenic, anti-obese, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects, being effective for treating obesity, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver, and dyslipidemia. Besides, baicalin and baicalein are almost non-toxic to epithelial, peripheral, and myeloid cells. CONCLUSION The purpose of this study is to focus on the therapeutic applications and accompanying molecular mechanisms of baicalin and baicalein against hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver, and trying to establish a novel anti-obese and anti-diabetic strategy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Ameliorates Insulin Sensitivity by Increasing GLUT4 Expression in Skeletal Muscle and Stimulating UCP1 in Brown Adipose Tissue in T2DM Mice. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2020; 11:32.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a treatment modality useful for diseases. Hypoxia could stimulate the induction of insulin resistance. Therefore, we sought to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen would ameliorate insulin sensitivity by promoting glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) expression in muscle and by stimulating UCP1 in brown adipose tissue (BAT) in a streptozocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mouse model. Male C57BL/6J mice were treated three times with low-dose of streptozocin (60 mg/kg, i.p.) and were fed with high-fat diets (HFD) to establish the T2DM model. HBO was administered daily as 100% oxygen at 2.0 atmosphere absolute (ATA) for 1 h for a week. We found that HBO significantly reduced blood glucose levels and attenuated insulin resistance in T2DM mice. HBO modulated food intake by influencing the activity of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-positive neurons in the arcuate nucleus (Arc). HBO treatment increased GLUT4 amount and level of phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in muscles of T2DM mice whereas this treatment stimulated the phosphorylation of AMPK in muscles of both T2DM and HFD mice. The morphological staining of BAT and the increased expression of uncoupling of protein 1 (UCP1) demonstrated the promotion of metabolism after HBO treatment. These findings suggest that HBO ameliorates insulin sensitivity of T2DM mice by stimulating the Akt signaling pathway and by promoting GLUT4 expression in muscle, and by increasing UCP1 expression in BAT.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex illness requiring long-term therapy. Cyclocarya paliurus, a recently confirmed new food resource, shows significant hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in type II diabetes. Triterpenoid saponins are considered as the effective medicinal components of C. paliurus and are useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, little is known regarding their specific mechanism of actions. In this study, we used active ingredient screening and target prediction techniques to determine the components of C. paliurus responsible for its anti-diabetic effects as well as their targets. In addition, we used bioinformatics technology and molecular docking analysis to determine the mechanisms underlying their anti-diabetic effects. A total of 39 triterpenes were identified through a literature search and 1 triterpene compound by experiments. In all, 33 potential target proteins associated with 36 pathways were predicted to be related to diabetes. Finally, 7 compounds, 15 target proteins, and 15 signaling pathways were found to play important roles in the therapeutic effects of C. paliurus against diabetes. These results provide a theoretical framework for the use of C. paliurus against diabetes. Moreover, molecular docking verification showed that more than 90% of the active ingredients had binding activity when tested against key target proteins, and a literature search showed that the active ingredients identified had anti-diabetic effects, indicating that the results were highly reliable. Active ingredient screening and target prediction techniques were used to determine the components of Cyclocarya paliurus responsible for its anti-diabetic effects as well as their targets. ![]()

Abstract
As a chronic metabolic disease, diabetes mellitus (DM) is broadly characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. Novel epidemiological studies demonstrate that some diabetic patients have an increased risk of developing dementia compared with healthy individuals. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia and leads to major progressive deficits in memory and cognitive function. Multiple studies have identified an increased risk for AD in some diabetic populations, but it is still unclear which diabetic patients will develop dementia and which biological characteristics can predict cognitive decline. Although few mechanistic metabolic studies have shown clear pathophysiological links between DM and AD, there are several plausible ways this may occur. Since AD has many characteristics in common with impaired insulin signaling pathways, AD can be regarded as a metabolic disease. We conclude from the published literature that the body's diabetic status under certain circumstances such as metabolic abnormalities can increase the incidence of AD by affecting glucose transport to the brain and reducing glucose metabolism. Furthermore, due to its plentiful lipid content and high energy requirement, the brain's metabolism places great demands on mitochondria. Thus, the brain may be more susceptible to oxidative damage than the rest of the body. Emerging evidence suggests that both oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are related to amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology. Protein changes in the unfolded protein response or endoplasmic reticulum stress can regulate Aβ production and are closely associated with tau protein pathology. Altogether, metabolic disorders including glucose/lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein changes caused by DM are associated with an impaired insulin signal pathway. These metabolic factors could increase the prevalence of AD in diabetic patients via the promotion of Aβ pathology.

Abstract
Decades of research in skeletal muscle physiology have provided multiscale insights into the structural and functional complexity of this important anatomical tissue, designed to accomplish the task of generating contraction, force and movement. Skeletal muscle can be viewed as a biomechanical device with various interacting components including the autonomic nerves for impulse transmission, vasculature for efficient oxygenation, and embedded regulatory and metabolic machinery for maintaining cellular homeostasis. The "omics" revolution has propelled a new era in muscle research, allowing us to discern minute details of molecular cross-talk required for effective coordination between the myriad interacting components for efficient muscle function. The objective of this review is to provide a systems-level, comprehensive mapping the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle structure and function, in health and disease. We begin this review with a focus on molecular mechanisms underlying muscle tissue development (myogenesis), with an emphasis on satellite cells and muscle regeneration. We next review the molecular structure and mechanisms underlying the many structural components of the muscle: neuromuscular junction, sarcomere, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix, and vasculature surrounding muscle. We highlight aberrant molecular mechanisms and their possible clinical or pathophysiological relevance. We particularly emphasize the impact of environmental stressors (inflammation and oxidative stress) in contributing to muscle pathophysiology including atrophy, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. This article is categorized under: Physiology > Mammalian Physiology in Health and Disease Developmental Biology > Developmental Processes in Health and Disease Models of Systems Properties and Processes > Cellular Models.

Abstract
In insulin resistance, alterations occur in the signalling pathways that modulate glucose uptake into cells, especially skeletal muscle cells, resulting in impaired glucose homeostasis. Glucose uptake into cells is controlled by a number of pathways, some of which are insulin-dependent. During exercise glucose uptake can occur independently of insulin regulation, and hence research into the effects of exercise on insulin resistance must be clearly defined to reflect whether glucose uptake has been enhanced as a result of the utilisation of these insulin-independent pathways, or whether exercise directly affects insulin resistance in cells. Research into the benefits of exercise for insulin resistance is also problematic in the need to clarify whether it is the exercise itself, or the visceral fat/weight loss that has resulted from the exercise, that has led to improved insulin sensitivity. The research presents a promising picture for the benefits of exercise in insulin resistance.

J Biol Chem 2019; 294:19988-19996.

Abstract
Insulin promotes glucose uptake by triggering the translocation of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane through exocytosis. GLUT4 exocytosis is a vesicle fusion event involving fusion of GLUT4-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. For GLUT4 vesicle fusion to occur, GLUT4 vesicles must first be tethered to the plasma membrane. A key tethering factor in exocytosis is a heterooctameric protein complex called the exocyst. The role of the exocyst in GLUT4 exocytosis, however, remains incompletely understood. Here we first systematically analyzed data from a genome-scale CRISPR screen in HeLa cells that targeted virtually all known genes in the human genome, including 12 exocyst genes. The screen recovered only a subset of the exocyst genes, including exocyst complex component 7 (Exoc7/Exo70). Other exocyst genes, however, were not isolated in the screen, likely because of functional redundancy. Our findings suggest that selection of an appropriate exocyst gene is critical for genetic studies of exocyst functions. Next we developed an inducible adipocyte genome editing system that enabled Exoc7 gene deletion in adipocytes without interfering with adipocyte differentiation. We observed that insulin-stimulated GLUT4 exocytosis was markedly inhibited in Exoc7 KO adipocytes. Insulin signaling, however, remained intact in these KO cells. These results indicate that the exocyst plays a critical role in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 exocytosis in adipocytes. We propose that the strategy outlined in this work could be instrumental in genetically dissecting other membrane-trafficking pathways in adipocytes.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase and an important regulator of energy metabolism. The decreased activity of AMPK induced by low-grade chronic inflammation has been implicated in several diseases, including type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. However, the activation of AMPK by natural and synthetic products can ameliorate these diseases through the inhibition of inflammation. For example, aged garlic extract (AGE) has been shown to enhance the phosphorylation of Thr172 of the α-subunit of AMPK in several tissues of disease model animals. In addition, AGE has been reported to suppress the progression of atherosclerotic plaque formation in an animal model of atherosclerosis. Moreover, AGE has been found to decrease the level of plasma glycated albumin and to improve hyperglycemia in an animal model of type 2 diabetes. These inhibitory effects of AGE are induced by the suppression of the inflammatory response. In the present review, we discuss the mechanisms through which AGE activates AMPK, as well as the mechanisms through which the activation of AMPK by AGE modulates the inflammatory response in disease models.

Abstract
Glucose uptake by mammalian cells is a key mechanism to maintain cell and tissue homeostasis and relies mostly on plasma membrane-localized glucose transporter proteins (GLUTs). Two main cellular mechanisms regulate GLUT proteins in the cell: first, expression of GLUT genes is under dynamic transcriptional control and is used by cancer cells to increase glucose availability. Second, GLUT proteins are regulated by membrane traffic from storage vesicles to the plasma membrane (PM). This latter process is triggered by signaling mechanisms and well-studied in the case of insulin-responsive cells, which activate protein kinase AKT to phosphorylate TBC1D4, a RAB-GTPase activating protein involved in membrane traffic regulation. Previously, we identified protein kinase WNK1 as another kinase able to phosphorylate TBC1D4 and regulate the surface expression of the constitutive glucose transporter GLUT1. Here we describe that downregulation of WNK1 through RNA interference in HEK293 cells led to a 2-fold decrease in PM GLUT1 expression, concomitant with a 60% decrease in glucose uptake. By mass spectrometry, we identified serine (S) 704 in TBC1D4 as a WNK1-regulated phosphorylation site, and also S565 in the paralogue TBC1D1. Transfection of the respective phosphomimetic or unphosphorylatable TBC1D mutants into cells revealed that both affected the cell surface abundance of GLUT1. The results reinforce a regulatory role for WNK1 in cell metabolism and have potential impact for the understanding of cancer cell metabolism and therapeutic options in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Dysregulation of vesicle trafficking in muscle is one of the factors responsible for the pathogenesis of insulin resistance (IR). Ferulic acid (FER) and resveratrol (RSV) are known to have hypoglycemic property. In this study, differentiated L6 myotubes were induced with palmitate as a model of IR. Chemical ablation of muscle vesicles was used to investigate how FER and RSV influence glucose utilization. Results showed that both FER and RSV elicit glucose uptake and promote glycogen synthesis in insulin-resistant muscle cells. Mechanistic studies further showed that FER markedly enhances the transferrin receptor-containing endosomal compartment activities via phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/atypical protein kinase C-dependent pathway, while RSV facilitates glucose transporter storage vesicles (GSV) trafficking via an exercise-like effect of conventional protein kinase C/5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) modulation. Therefore, these two phenolic compounds promoted glucose transport through two separate routes, and they had an additive effect on the increase of glucose uptake in insulin-resistant muscle cells. These findings provide a basis for the understanding of the antidiabetic potential of RSV and FER combination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major health problem that has become a global epidemic. Overweight and obesity are commonly associated with the development of several pathologies, such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, sleep apnea and several types of cancer, which can lead to further morbidity and mortality. An increased abdominal adiposity renders overweight and obese individuals more prone to metabolic and cardiovascular problems. OBJECTIVE This Review aims to describe the dietary strategies to deal with excess adiposity given the medical, social and economic consequences of obesity. METHODS One hundred and eighty-five papers were included in the present Review. RESULTS Excess adiposity leads to several changes in the biology, morphology and function of the adipose tissue, such as adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia, adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis and an impaired secretion of adipokines, contributing to the onset of obesity- related comorbidities. The first approach for obesity management and prevention is the implementation of a diet combined with physical activity. The present review summarizes the compelling evidence showing body composition changes, impact on cardiometabolism and potential adverse effects of very-low calorie, low- and high-carbohydrate, high-protein or low-fat diets. The use of macronutrients during the preprandial and postprandial state has been also reviewed to better understand the metabolic changes induced by different dietary interventions. CONCLUSION Dietary changes should be individualised, tailored to food preferences and allow for flexible approaches to reducing calorie intake in order to increase the motivation and compliance of overweight and obese patients.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle handles ~80-90% of the insulin-induced glucose uptake. In skeletal muscle, insulin binding to its cell surface receptor triggers redistribution of intracellular glucose transporter GLUT4 protein to the cell surface, enabling facilitated glucose uptake. In adipocytes, the eight-protein exocyst complex is an indispensable constituent in insulin-induced glucose uptake, as it is responsible for the targeted trafficking and plasma membrane-delivery of GLUT4. However, the role of the exocyst in skeletal muscle glucose uptake has never been investigated. Here we demonstrate that the exocyst is a necessary factor in insulin-induced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells as well. The exocyst complex colocalizes with GLUT4 storage vesicles in L6-GLUT4myc myoblasts at a basal state and associates with these vesicles during their translocation to the plasma membrane after insulin signaling. Moreover, we show that the exocyst inhibitor endosidin-2 and a heterozygous knockout of Exoc5 in skeletal myoblast cells both lead to impaired GLUT4 trafficking to the plasma membrane and hinder glucose uptake in response to an insulin stimulus. Our research is the first to establish that the exocyst complex regulates insulin-induced GLUT4 exocytosis and glucose metabolism in muscle cells. A deeper knowledge of the role of the exocyst complex in skeletal muscle tissue may help our understanding of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Newly hatched chicks must transition from lipid-rich yolk to carbohydrate-rich feed as their primary nutrient source, and posthatch delays in access to feed can have long-term negative consequences on growth and metabolism. In this study, impacts of delayed access to feed at hatch on expression of genes related to nutrient uptake and utilization in two metabolically important tissues, liver and muscle, were determined in broiler (meat-type) chickens. Hatched chicks were given access to feed within 3 h (fed) or delayed access to feed for 48 h (delayed fed), and liver and breast muscle were collected from males at hatch and 4 h, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, and 8 days posthatch for analysis of gene expression. Differential expression of carbohydrate response element-binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ in muscle and liver was observed, with results indicating a transitional delay from lipid to carbohydrate metabolism when hatched chicks were not given immediate access to feed. Extended upregulation of insulin receptor mRNA was observed in both tissues in delayed fed birds, suggesting increased sensitivity to circulating levels of the hormone. Developmental delays in expression patterns of cationic amino acid transporters 1 and 2 in both tissues and large neutral amino acid transporter 1 in muscle were also apparent when immediate feed access was prevented. These data suggest that delayed transition to carbohydrate use and altered nutrient transport and utilization within liver and breast muscle are key factors negatively affecting growth and metabolism following delayed feed access in broiler chickens.

Abstract
Context: Fuzhu Jiangtang Granules (FJG) are a traditional Chinese used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, the antidiabetic mechanism of FJG is not clear. Objective: This study evaluates and determines the antidiabetic mechanism of FJG using a Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat model. Materials and methods: ZDF (fa/fa) rats were divided into four groups (n = 6): diabetes mellitus (DM), metformin (Met, 0.134 g/kg b.w./day), FJG (0.64 g/kg b.w./day), and combination (Com, 0.134 g/kg b.w./day of Met and 0.64 g/kg b.w./day of FJG). Six ZDF (fa/+) rats served as a normal control. After 6 weeks, biochemical parameters gene and protein expression were detected. Results: The FBG, bodyweight, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), free fatty acid (FFA), insulin levels, and HOMA-IR were lower in the FJG than in the DM group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). In an oral glucose tolerance test, the AUC in the FJG group was significantly lower (p < 0.01). The levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase were higher in the FJG than in the DM group (p < 0.01); the malondialdehyde content and TNF-α were significantly decreased in the FJG group (p < 0.01). FJG increased the mRNA expression of IR and GLUT4 significantly (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). The protein levels of IR, p-IRS1 tyr989, m-PI3Kp85, p-Akt and GLUT4 were increased in the FJG (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), but the protein levels of p-IRS1 ser1101/612/307 were significantly decreased in the JG group (p < 0.01). Discussion and conclusions: The antidiabetic mechanism of FJG may be related to regulation of the insulin-signaling pathway in skeletal muscle. These aspects require further research.

Abstract
Avian glucose transporters (GLUT) responsible for insulin-responsive glucose uptake into adipocytes remain poorly characterized. We aimed to identify the insulin-responsive GLUT using primary culture of chicken adipocytes. Acute stimulation with 1 μM insulin for 20 min increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake, AKT protein phosphorylation, and GLUT1 protein levels on the plasma membrane of the chicken adipocytes, whereas pretreatment with 10 μM triciribine, an AKT inhibitor, canceled these effects. Furthermore, the insulin stimulation did not affect GLUT12 protein levels on the plasma membrane of the chicken adipocytes. Our results suggest that GLUT1 is an insulin-responsive GLUT in chicken adipocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity, Type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as stress-related disorders are rising public health threats and major burdens for modern society. Chronic stress and depression are highly associated with symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, but the molecular link is still not fully understood. Furthermore, therapies tackling these biological disorders are still lacking. The identification of shared molecular targets underlying both pathophysiologies may lead to the development of new treatments. The FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP51) has recently been identified as a promising therapeutic target for stress-related psychiatric disorders and obesity-related metabolic outcomes. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW The aim of this review is to summarize current evidence of in vitro, preclinical, and human studies on the stress responsive protein FKBP51, focusing on its newly discovered role in metabolism. Also, we highlight the therapeutic potential of FKBP51 as a new treatment target for symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS We conclude the review by emphasizing missing knowledge gaps that remain and future research opportunities needed to implement FKBP51 as a drug target for stress-related obesity or T2D.

Neuregulin-1 triggers GLUT4 translocation and enhances glucose uptake independently of insulin receptor substrate and ErbB3 in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2019; 1867:118562. [PMID: 31669265 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2019.118562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2019] [Revised: 09/15/2019] [Accepted: 10/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
During stress conditions such as pressure overload and acute ischemia, the myocardial endothelium releases neuregulin-1β (NRG-1), which acts as a cardioprotective factor and supports recovery of the heart. Recently, we demonstrated that recombinant human (rh)NRG-1 enhances glucose uptake in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes via the ErbB2/ErbB4 heterodimer and PI3Kα. The present study aimed to further elucidate the mechanism whereby rhNRG-1 activates glucose uptake in comparison to the well-established insulin and to extend the findings to adult models. Combinations of rhNRG-1 with increasing doses of insulin did not yield any additive effect on glucose uptake measured as 3H-deoxy-d-glucose incorporation, indicating that the mechanisms of the two stimuli are similar. In c-Myc-GLUT4-mCherry-transfected neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, rhNRG-1 increased sarcolemmal GLUT4 by 16-fold, similar to insulin. In contrast to insulin, rhNRG-1 did not phosphorylate IRS-1 at Tyr612, indicating that IRS-1 is not implicated in the signal transmission. Treatment of neonatal rats with rhNRG-1 induced a signaling response comparable with that observed in vitro, including increased ErbB4-pTyr1284, Akt-pThr308 and Erk1/2-pThr202/Tyr204. In contrast, in adult cardiomyocytes rhNRG-1 only increased the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 without having any significant effect on Akt and AS160 phosphorylation and glucose uptake, suggesting that rhNRG-1 function in neonatal cardiomyocytes differs from that in adult cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, our results show that similar to insulin, rhNRG-1 can induce glucose uptake by activating the PI3Kα-Akt-AS160 pathway and GLUT4 translocation. Unlike insulin, the rhNRG-1-induced effect is not mediated by IRS proteins and is observed in neonatal, but not in adult rat cardiomyocytes.

Effects of Nutrient Intake Timing on Post-Exercise Glycogen Accumulation and its Related Signaling Pathways in Mouse Skeletal Muscle. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11112555.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of nutrient intake timing on glycogen accumulation and its related signals in skeletal muscle after an exercise that did not induce large glycogen depletion. Male ICR mice ran on a treadmill at 25 m/min for 60 min under a fed condition. Mice were orally administered a solution containing 1.2 mg/g carbohydrate and 0.4 mg/g protein or water either immediately (early nutrient, EN) or 180 min (late nutrient, LN) after the exercise. Tissues were harvested at 30 min after the oral administration. No significant difference in blood glucose or plasma insulin concentrations was found between the EN and LN groups. The plantaris muscle glycogen concentration was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the EN group—but not in the LN group—compared to the respective time-matched control group. Akt Ser473 phosphorylation was significantly higher in the EN group than in the time-matched control group (p < 0.01), while LN had no effect. Positive main effects of time were found for the phosphorylations in Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) Thr642 (p < 0.05), 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) Thr172 (p < 0.01), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase Ser79 (p < 0.01); however, no effect of nutrient intake was found for these. We showed that delayed nutrient intake could not increase muscle glycogen after endurance exercise which did not induce large glycogen depletion. The results also suggest that post-exercise muscle glycogen accumulation after nutrient intake might be partly influenced by Akt activation. Meanwhile, increased AS160 and AMPK activation by post-exercise fasting might not lead to glycogen accumulation.

Abstract
:
Insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes mellitus resulting in chronic hyperglycemia is a major health
problem in the modern world. Many drugs have been tested to control hyperglycemia which is believed to be the
main factor behind many of the diabetes-related late-term complications. Wogonin is a famous herbal medicine
which has been shown to be effective in controlling diabetes and its complications. In our previous work, we
showed that wogonin is beneficial in many ways in controlling diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this review, we
mainly explained wogonin anti-hyperglycemic property through AKT/GLUT4 pathway. Here we briefly discussed
that wogonin increases Glut4 trafficking to plasma membrane which allows increased entry of glucose and
thus alleviates hyperglycemia.
Conclusion:
Wogonin can be used as an anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycemic drug and works via AKT/GLUT4
pathway.

During Adipocyte Remodeling, Lipid Droplet Configurations Regulate Insulin Sensitivity through F-Actin and G-Actin Reorganization. Mol Cell Biol 2019; 39:MCB.00210-19.

Abstract
Adipocytes have unique morphological traits in insulin sensitivity control. However, how the appearance of adipocytes can determine insulin sensitivity has not been understood. Here, we demonstrate that actin cytoskeleton reorganization upon lipid droplet (LD) configurations in adipocytes plays important roles in insulin-dependent glucose uptake by regulating GLUT4 trafficking. Compared to white adipocytes, brown/beige adipocytes with multilocular LDs exhibited well-developed filamentous actin (F-actin) structure and potentiated GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in the presence of insulin. In contrast, LD enlargement and unilocularization in adipocytes downregulated cortical F-actin formation, eventually leading to decreased F-actin-to-globular actin (G-actin) ratio and suppression of insulin-dependent GLUT4 trafficking. Pharmacological inhibition of actin polymerization accompanied with impaired F/G-actin dynamics reduced glucose uptake in adipose tissue and conferred systemic insulin resistance in mice. Thus, our study reveals that adipocyte remodeling with different LD configurations could be an important factor to determine insulin sensitivity by modulating F/G-actin dynamics.
