Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence indicates a pivotal role for fetuin B, one of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors, in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. This study investigated whether serum fetuin B levels are associated with the presence of coronary artery disease. METHODS Serum fetuin B levels were assessed in 87 patients with coronary artery disease (41 with acute coronary syndromes and 46 with stable angina pectoris) and 87 healthy controls using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The association of serum fetuin B levels with cardiac risk factors was analyzed. RESULTS Serum fetuin B levels were significantly higher in patients with coronary artery disease than those in healthy controls (90.7 ± 32.1 vs. 110.0 ± 32.7 μg/ml, P < 0.001), extremely elevated in group with acute coronary syndromes (115.0 ± 35.2 μg/ml). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum fetuin B levels were positively associated with the levels of total cholesterol (r = 0.276, P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = 0.363, P < 0.001), and fasting blood glucose (r = 0.159, P < 0.05). In addition, multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that fetuin B was independently associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (OR, 1.019; 95% CI, 1.009 to 1.029; P < 0.001) and acute coronary syndromes (OR, 1.017; 95% CI, 1.006 to 1.028; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our data revealed that high fetuin B levels are associated with the presence of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes, and that fetuin B may serve as a potential biomarker for coronary artery disease.

Abstract
We review here the status of human type 2 diabetes studies from a genetic, epidemiological, and clinical (intervention) perspective. Most studies limit analyses to one or a few omic technologies providing data of components of physiological processes. Since all chronic diseases are multifactorial and arise from complex interactions between genetic makeup and environment, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a collection of sub-phenotypes resulting in high fasting glucose. The underlying gene–environment interactions that produce these classes of T2DM are imperfectly characterized. Based on assessments of the complexity of T2DM, we propose a systems biology approach to advance the understanding of origin, onset, development, prevention, and treatment of this complex disease. This systems-based strategy is based on new study design principles and the integrated application of omics technologies: we pursue longitudinal studies in which each subject is analyzed at both homeostasis and after (healthy and safe) challenges. Each enrolled subject functions thereby as their own case and control and this design avoids assigning the subjects a priori to case and control groups based on limited phenotyping. Analyses at different time points along this longitudinal investigation are performed with a comprehensive set of omics platforms. These data sets are generated in a biological context, rather than biochemical compound class-driven manner, which we term “systems omics.”

Abstract
Usnic acid, a lichen metabolite, is used as a dietary supplement for weight loss. However, clinical studies have shown that usnic acid causes hepatotoxicity. The present study aims to investigate the mechanism of usnic acid hepatotoxicity in vivo. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the expression profiles of differentially regulated and expressed proteins in rat liver after usnic acid administration. The results reveal the differential expression of 10 proteins in usnic-acid-treated rats compared to the normal controls. These proteins are associated with oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and several other molecular pathways. The endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria may be the primary targets of usnic-acid-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
The pancreatic islets of Langerhans play a critical role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin and several other important peptide hormones. Impaired insulin secretion due to islet dysfunction is linked to the pathogenesis underlying both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Over the past 5 years, emerging proteomic technologies have been applied to dissect the signaling pathways that regulate islet functions and gain an understanding of the mechanisms of islet dysfunction relevant to diabetes. Herein, we briefly review some of the recent quantitative proteomic studies involving pancreatic islets geared towards gaining a better understanding of islet biology relevant to metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic studies are mostly interested in gene expression in the pancreas, the site of insulin secretion that regulates blood glucose levels. However, a single gene approach has been ruled out for many years in discovering new genes or the molecular networks involved in the induction process of diabetes. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which cyclo (His-Pro) (CHP) affects amelioration of diabetes mellitus, we performed gene expression profiling in the pancreatic tissues of two diabetic animal models, streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats (T1DM) and genetically-diabetic (C57BL/6J ob/ob) mice (T2DM). To understand the healing process of these diabetic rodents, we examined the effects of CHP on various gene expression in pancreatic tissues of both animal models. Our microarray analysis revealed that a total of 1,175 genes were down-regulated and 629 genes were up-regulated in response to STZ treatment, and the altered expression levels of numerous genes were restored to normal state upon CHP treatment. In particular, 476 genes showed significantly altered gene expression upon CHP treatment. In a functional classification, 7,198 genes were counted as differentially expressed in pancreatic tissues of STZ- and CHP-treated rats compared with control, whereas 1,534 genes were restored to normal states by CHP treatment. Microarray data demonstrated for the first time that overexpression of the genes encoding IL-1 receptor, lipid metabolic enzymes (e.g. Mte1, Ptdss1, and Sult2a1), myo-inositol oxygenase, glucagon, and somatostatin as well as down-regulation of olfactory receptor 984 and mitochondrial ribosomal protein, which are highly linked to T1DM etiology. In genetically-diabetic mice, 4,384 genes were altered in gene expression by more than 2-fold compared to the control mice, when counted differentially expressed. In genetically-diabetic mice, 4,384 genes altered in expression by higher than 2-fold were counted as differentially expressed genes in pancreatic tissues of CHP-treated mice. On the other hand, 2,140 genes were up-regulated and 2,244 genes were down-regulated by CHP treatment. The results of the microarray analysis revealed that up-regulation of IL-2, IL12a, and leptin receptor and down-regulation of PIK3 played important physiological roles in the onset of T2DM. In conclusion, we hypothesize that CHP accelerates alterations of gene expression in ameliorating diabetes and antagonizes those that induces the disease.

Abstract
It is well recognized that diet-induced dysfunctions in skeletal muscle are closely related with many metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. In the present study, we identified global changes in gender-dependent gene expressions in the soleus muscle of lean and obese rats fed a high fat diet (HFD), using DNA microarray analysis. Prior to microarray analysis, the body weight gains were found to be higher in male HFD rats than the female HFD rats. To better understand the detailed phenotypic differences in response to HFD feeding, we identified differential gene expression in soleus muscle between the genders. To this end, we extracted and summarized the genes that were up- or down-regulated more than 1.5-fold between the genders in the microarray data. As expected, a greater number of genes encoding myofibrillar proteins and glycolytic proteins were expressed higher in males than females when exposed to HFD, reflecting greater muscular activity and higher capacity for utilizing glucose as an energy fuel. However, a series of genes involved in oxidative metabolism and cellular defenses were more up-regulated in females than males. These results allowed us to conclude that compared to males, females have greater fat clearing capacity in skeletal muscle through the activation of genes encoding enzymes for fat oxidation. In conclusion, our microarray data provide a better understanding of the molecular events underlying gender dimorphism in soleus muscle, and will provide valuable information in improving gender awareness in the health care system.

Abstract
Rodents respond to a chronic high-fat diet (HFD) in two ways: some readily become obese (obesity prone, OP) and others do not (obesity resistant, OR). Although several hypotheses have been proposed, the mechanisms underlying the inter-individual susceptibility to diet-induced obesity remain to be fully defined. In the present study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight MS was carried out for identification of differentially expressed liver proteins in OP and OR rats fed a HFD, in an attempt to discover marker proteins involved in susceptibility and/or resistance to obesity in rat liver. The 2-DE analysis demonstrated that forty spots from 380 visualised spots were differentially regulated between the groups. Among these forty spots, twelve were differentially expressed proteins between OP and OR rats, reaching statistical significance. Of these, five proteins have already been linked to obesity; however, seven proteins involved in obesity susceptibility or resistance were identified for the first time in the present study. In order to validate the proteomic results and gain insight into the metabolic changes between the OP and OR groups, we further confirmed the expression pattern of some proteins of interest by Western blot analysis. Combined results of proteomic analysis with Western blot analysis revealed that reduced lipogenesis and increased fat oxidation were achieved in the livers of OR rats. In conclusion, the present proteomic study is an important advance over the previous steps required for identification of OP and OR rats, and should prove valuable in the search for the pathogenesis of obesity in humans.

Abstract
Different responses to a high fat diet (HFD) can occur even within a group of animals with the same genetic background, such as obesity-prone (OP) or obesity-resistant (OR) phenotypes, on the same feeding. To explain these phenotypes, we performed an analysis of gene expression differences in brown (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) of OP and OR rats. Microarray analysis of transcripts revealed that 91 and 53 genes showed significant differences in expression between the BAT and WAT gene, respectively. Surprisingly, a majority of these genes were significantly down-regulated in adipose tissues in response to HFD feeding. K-means clustering of the expression levels of these genes identified 4 distinct groupings of genes with significant expression levels. Only a limited number of genes were significantly regulated in adipose tissues in response to HFD feeding, whereas expression levels of a large number of genes differed significantly between OP and OR rat. Our observations support that distinct discrepancies exist in gene-expression regulations in adipose tissues, and that alteration likely resulted from significant differences in genes encoding metabolic enzymes. To the best of our knowledge, this study provided the first direct comparison of gene-expression changes between OP and OR rats.

Abstract
One of the major questions in the field of obesity is why some humans become obese (obesity prone, OP) and others resist the development of obesity (obesity resistant, OR) when exposed to a high-calorie diet, which has not been completely studied. Therefore, in the present study, in order to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying this propensity, we have performed a comparative analysis of protein expression profiles in white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of rats fed a high-fat diet by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS. Protein mapping of homogenates revealed significant alterations to a number of proteins; 60 and 70 proteins were differentially regulated in BAT and WAT, respectively. For careful interpretation of proteomic results, we categorized the identified proteins into two groups by analysis of both average spot density of pooled six rat adipose tissues and individual spot density of each adipose tissue of six rats as a function of body weight. One of the most striking findings of this study was that significant changes of Ehd1 and laminin receptor in BAT as well as antiquitin, DJ-1 protein, and paraoxonase 2 in WAT were found for the first time in obese rats. In addition, we confirmed the increased expression of some thermogenic enzymes and decreased lipogenic enzymes in adipose tissues of OR rats by immunoblot analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first proteomic study of profiling of protein modulation in OP and OR rats, thereby providing the first global evidence for different propensities to obesity between OP and OR rats.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of capsaicin on expression of skeletal muscle proteins in Sprague-Dawley rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) were investigated. Rats were fed a HFD with or without capsaicin treatment for 8 wk. After HFD feeding, capsaicin-treated rats weighed an average of 8% less than those of the HFD control group. Gastrocnemius muscle tissue from lean and obese rats with or without capsaicin treatment was arrayed using 2-DE for detection of HFD-associated markers. Proteomic analysis using 2-DE demonstrated that 36 spots from a total of approximately 600 matched spots showed significantly different expression; 27 spots were identified as gastrocnemius muscle proteins that had been altered in response to capsaicin feeding, and 6 spots could not be identified by mass fingerprinting. Expression of various muscle proteins was determined by immunoblot analysis for the determination of molecular mechanisms, whereby capsaicin caused inhibition of adipogenesis. Immunoblot analysis revealed increased uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) protein expression in HFD-fed rats, whereas contents were reduced with capsaicin treatment. Compared with the HFD control group, capsaicin treatment increased phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPIC) CP3 and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). To support this result, we also analyzed in vitro differential protein expression in L6 skeletal muscle cells. These data suggest that the AMPK-ACC-malonyl-CoA metabolic signaling pathway is one of the targets of capsaicin action. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proteomic study to report on analysis of diet-induced alterations of protein expression that are essential for energy expenditure in rat muscle.

Abstract
One of the major issues in the field of obesity is why some humans become obese and others resist development of obesity when exposed to high-calorie diets. Despite the same genetic background, namely obesity-prone (OP) and -resistant (OR) rats, differing responses have been demonstrated in a high fat diet-induced rodent model. The aim of the present study was to discover novel obesity-related biomarkers for susceptibility and/or resistance to obesity by proteomic analysis of OP and OR rat plasma. After feeding of high fat diet, OP rats gained approximately 25% more body weight than OR rats and were used for proteomic analysis using 2-DE combined with MALDI-TOF-MS. We categorized identified proteins into three groups by analysis of both average spot density in each group and individual spot density of six rats as a function of body weight. Consequently, category (1) included inter-α-inhibitor H4 heavy chain and fetuin B precursor, which can be used as novel plasma biomarkers for risk of obesity. Nine proteins of category (2) and (3) can also be plausible plasma markers in the study of obesity. This proteomic study is an important advancement over the previous steps needed for identification of OP and OR rats.

Abstract
The complementary disciplines of genomics and proteomics offer better insights into the molecular mechanisms of diseases. While genomics hunts for defining our static genetic substrate, proteomics explores the structure and function of proteins expressed by a cell or tissue type under specified conditions. In the past decade, proteomics has been revolutionized by the application of techniques such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE), mass spectrometry (MS), and protein arrays. These techniques have tremendous potential for biomarker development, target validation, diagnosis, prognosis, and optimization of treatment in medical care, especially in the field of islet and diabetes research. This chapter will highlight the contributions of proteomic technologies toward the dissection of complex network of signaling molecules regulating islet function, the identification of potential biomarkers, and the understanding of mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes.
