Extracellular glucose and dysfunctional insulin receptor signaling independently upregulate arterial smooth muscle TMEM16A expression. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2024; 326:C1237-C1247. [PMID: 38581667 PMCID: PMC11193522 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00555.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Diabetes alters the function of ion channels responsible for regulating arterial smooth muscle membrane potential, resulting in vasoconstriction. Our prior research demonstrated an elevation of TMEM16A in diabetic arteries. Here, we explored the mechanisms involved in Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) gene expression. Our data indicate that a Snail-mediated repressor complex regulates arterial TMEM16A gene transcription. Snail expression was reduced in diabetic arteries while TMEM16A expression was upregulated. The TMEM16A promoter contained three canonical E-box sites. Electrophoretic mobility and super shift assays revealed that the -154 nt E-box was the binding site of the Snail repressor complex and binding of the repressor complex decreased in diabetic arteries. High glucose induced a biphasic contractile response in pressurized nondiabetic mouse hindlimb arteries incubated ex vivo. Hindlimb arteries incubated in high glucose also showed decreased phospho-protein kinase D1 and TMEM16A expression. In hindlimb arteries from nondiabetic mice, administration of a bolus dose of glucose activated protein kinase D1 signaling to induce Snail degradation. In both in vivo and ex vivo conditions, Snail expression exhibited an inverse relationship with the expression of protein kinase D1 and TMEM16A. In diabetic mouse arteries, phospho-protein kinase D1 increased while Akt2 and pGSK3β levels declined. These results indicate that in nondiabetic mice, high glucose triggers a transient deactivation of the Snail repressor complex to increase arterial TMEM16A expression independently of insulin signaling. Conversely, insulin resistance activates GSK3β signaling and enhances arterial TMEM16A channel expression. These data have uncovered the Snail-mediated regulation of arterial TMEM16A expression and its dysfunction during diabetes.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The calcium-activated chloride channel, TMEM16A, is upregulated in the diabetic vasculature to cause increased vasoconstriction. In this paper, we have uncovered that the TMEM16A gene expression is controlled by a Snail-mediated repressor complex that uncouples with both insulin-dependent and -independent pathways to allow for upregulated arterial protein expression thereby causing vasoconstriction. The paper highlights the effect of short- and long-term glucose-induced dysfunction of an ion channel expression as a causative factor in diabetic vascular disease.

Abstract
Members of the Protein kinase D (PKD) kinase family each play important cell-specific roles in the regulation of normal pancreas functions. In pancreatic diseases PKD1 is the most widely characterized isoform with roles in pancreatitis and in induction of pancreatic cancer and its progression. PKD1 expression and activation increases in pancreatic acinar cells through macrophage secreted factors, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) signaling, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), driving the formation of precancerous lesions. In precancerous lesions PKD1 regulates cell survival, growth, senescence, and generation of doublecortin like kinase 1 (DCLK1)-positive cancer stem cells (CSCs). Within tumors, regulation by PKD1 includes chemoresistance, apoptosis, proliferation, CSC features, and the Warburg effect. Thus, PKD1 plays a critical role throughout pancreatic disease initiation and progression.

Exploring the role of purinergic receptor P2RY1 in type 2 diabetes risk and pathophysiology: Insights from human functional genomics. Mol Metab 2024; 79:101867. [PMID: 38159881 PMCID: PMC10792753 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2023.101867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human functional genomics has proven powerful in discovering drug targets for common metabolic disorders. Through this approach, we investigated the involvement of the purinergic receptor P2RY1 in type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS P2RY1 was sequenced in 9,266 participants including 4,177 patients with T2D. In vitro analyses were then performed to assess the functional effect of each variant. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was performed in pancreatic islets from 103 pancreatectomized individuals. The effect of P2RY1 on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was finally assessed in human pancreatic beta cells (EndoCβH5), and RNA sequencing was performed on these cells. RESULTS Sequencing P2YR1 in 9,266 participants revealed 22 rare variants, seven of which were loss-of-function according to our in vitro analyses. Carriers, except one, exhibited impaired glucose control. Our eQTL analysis of human islets identified P2RY1 variants, in a beta-cell enhancer, linked to increased P2RY1 expression and reduced T2D risk, contrasting with variants located in a silent region associated with decreased P2RY1 expression and increased T2D risk. Additionally, a P2RY1-specific agonist increased insulin secretion upon glucose stimulation, while the antagonist led to decreased insulin secretion. RNA-seq highlighted TXNIP as one of the main transcriptomic markers of insulin secretion triggered by P2RY1 agonist. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that P2RY1 inherited or acquired dysfunction increases T2D risk and that P2RY1 activation stimulates insulin secretion. Selective P2RY1 agonists, impermeable to the blood-brain barrier, could serve as potential insulin secretagogues.

Abstract
The clinical course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) starts in childhood. Evidence of the beneficial impact of early nephron-protective strategies and lifestyle modifications on ADPKD prognosis is accumulating. Recent studies have described the association of overweight and obesity with rapid disease progression in adults with ADPKD. Moreover, defective glucose metabolism and metabolic reprogramming have been reported in distinct ADPKD models highlighting these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in ADPKD. Several "metabolic" approaches are currently under evaluation in adults, including ketogenic diet, food restriction, and metformin therapy. No data are available on the impact of these approaches in childhood thus far. Yet, according to World Health Organization (WHO), we are currently facing a childhood obesity crisis with an increased prevalence of overweight/obesity in the pediatric population associated with a cardio-metabolic risk profile. The present review summarizes the knowledge about the role of glucose metabolism in the pathophysiology of ADPKD and underscores the possible harm of overweight and obesity in ADPKD especially in terms of long-term cardiovascular outcomes and renal prognosis.

[PMID: 34800086 PMCID: PMC9017615 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.13714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim/Introduction Obesity is considered an important risk factor for many metabolic disorders, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus, and microRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate the role of miR‐4431 in the obesity‐associated pathobiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods Subjects were divided into normal control (n = 36), obese (n = 36), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 12) groups, and serum miR‐4431 levels were analyzed. Adenovirus‐vectored miR‐4431 mimic or sponge was intraperitoneally injected into the normal diet group and the high‐fat diet group (HFD) mice to investigate glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and lipid levels. The downstream target genes of miR‐4431 were predicted using bioinformatics, and they were verified in vitro. Results Serum miR‐4431 levels were significantly high in obese and type 2 diabetes mellitus individuals, and positively correlated with the body mass index and fasting plasma glucose levels. In HFD mice, miR‐4431 levels in the serum, white adipose tissue, and liver were significantly increased. Moreover, miR‐4431 impaired glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism in mice. Bioinformatic prediction suggested that TRIP10 and PRKD1 could be the downstream target genes of miR‐4431. The HFD mice showed a remarkable reduction in the mRNA levels of TRIP10 and PRKD1 in the liver, which were countered by blocking miR‐4431. In HepG2 and L02 cells, miR‐4431 could downregulate TRIP10 and PRKD1 while blocking glucose uptake. The luciferase reporter assay showed that miR‐4431 could bind TRIP10 and PRKD1 3′‐UTR. Conclusion miR‐4431 targets TRIP10/PRKD1 and impairs glucose metabolism.

Involvement of P2Y signaling in the restoration of glucose-induced insulin exocytosis in pancreatic β cells exposed to glucotoxicity. J Cell Physiol 2021; 237:881-896.

Abstract
Purinergic P2Y receptors, by binding adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are known for enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in pancreatic β cells. However, the impact of these receptors in the actin dynamics and insulin granule exocytosis in these cells is not established, neither in normal nor in glucotoxic environment. In this study, we investigate the involvement of P2Y receptors on the behavior of insulin granules and the subcortical actin network dynamics in INS-1 832/13 β cells exposed to normal or glucotoxic environment and their role in GSIS. Our results show that the activation of P2Y purinergic receptors by ATP or its agonist increase the insulin granules exocytosis and the reorganization of the subcortical actin network and participate in the potentiation of GSIS. In addition, their activation in INS-1832/13 β-cells, with impaired insulin secretion following exposure to elevated glucose levels, restores GSIS competence through the distal steps of insulin exocytosis. These results are confirmed ex vivo by perifusion experiments on islets from type 2 diabetic (T2D) Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. Indeed, the P2Y receptor agonist restores the altered GSIS, which is normally lost in this T2D animal model. Moreover, we observed an improvement of the glucose tolerance, following the acute intraperitoneal injection of the P2Y agonist concomitantly with glucose, in diabetic GK rats. All these data provide new insights into the unprecedented therapeutic role of P2Y purinergic receptors in the pathophysiology of T2D.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with ectopic accumulation of lipids, which is implicated in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. As the global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the underlying cellular mechanisms of this disease. Protein kinase D (PKD) is an intracellular signalling kinase with well characterized roles in intracellular vesicle transport and secretion, cancer cell proliferation and cardiac hypertrophy. However, emerging evidence also highlights PKD as a novel nutrient sensor. PKD activation is mediated by the accumulation of the lipid intermediate diacylglycerol, and PKD activity in the liver, heart and adipose tissue increases upon feeding. In obesity, PKD signalling is linked to reduced insulin signalling and dysfunction in adipose tissue, liver and heart, whilst in the pancreas, PKD is essential for the compensatory increase in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from β-cells during obesity. Collectively, these studies reveal aspects of PKD signalling that are involved in the tissue-specific responses to obesity. This review summarizes the emerging evidence suggesting that PKD plays an important role in regulating the adaptive response to the obese environment.

Abstract
Insulin secretion by β-cells is largely controlled by circulating nutrients, hormones, and neurotransmitters. However, recent years have witnessed the multiplication of studies investigating whether local regulation also takes place within pancreatic islets, in which β-cells cohabit with several other cell types. The cell composition and architectural organization of human islets differ from those of rodent islets and are particularly favorable to cellular interactions. An impressive number of hormonal (glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1, somatostatin, etc.) and nonhormonal products (ATP, acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid, dopamine, etc.) are released by islet cells and have been implicated in a local control of insulin secretion. This review analyzes reports directly testing paracrine and autocrine control of insulin secretion in isolated human islets. Many of these studies were designed on background information collected in rodent islets. However, the perspective of the review is not to highlight species similarities or specificities but to contrast established and speculative mechanisms in human islets. It will be shown that the current evidence is convincing only for a minority of candidates for a paracrine function whereas arguments supporting a physiological role of others do not stand up to scrutiny. Several pending questions await further investigation.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disease resulting from insulin resistance and progressively reduced insulin secretion, which leads to impaired glucose utilization, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia and progressive pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide and nowadays T2D already became a global epidemic. The well-known interindividual variability of T2D drug actions such as biguanides, sulfonylureas/meglitinides, DPP-4 inhibitors/GLP1R agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors may be caused, among other things, by genetic factors. Pharmacogenetic findings may aid in identifying new drug targets and obtaining in-depth knowledge of the causes of disease and its physiological processes, thereby, providing an opportunity to elaborate an algorithm for tailor or precision treatment. The aim of this article is to summarize recent progress and discoveries for T2D pharmacogenetics and to discuss the factors which limit the furthering accumulation of genetic variability knowledge in patient response to therapy that will allow improvement the personalized treatment of T2D.

Abstract
The activation of purinergic receptors by nucleotides and/or nucleosides plays an important role in the control of vascular function, including modulation of vascular smooth muscle excitability, and vascular reactivity. Accordingly, purinergic receptor actions, acting as either ion channels (P2X) or G protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs) (P1, P2Y), target diverse downstream effectors, and substrates to regulate vascular smooth muscle function and vascular reactivity. Both vasorelaxant and vasoconstrictive effects have been shown to be mediated by different purinergic receptors in a vascular bed- and species-specific manner. Purinergic signaling has been shown to play a key role in altering vascular smooth muscle excitability and vascular reactivity following acute and short-term elevations in extracellular glucose (e.g., hyperglycemia). Moreover, there is evidence that vascular smooth muscle excitability and vascular reactivity is severely impaired during diabetes and that this is mediated, at least in part, by activation of purinergic receptors. Thus, purinergic receptors present themselves as important candidates mediating vascular reactivity in hyperglycemia, with potentially important clinical and therapeutic potential. In this review, we provide a narrative summarizing our current understanding of the expression, function, and signaling of purinergic receptors specifically in vascular smooth muscle cells and discuss their role in vascular complications following hyperglycemia and diabetes.

Powell DR, Doree DD, DaCosta CM, Platt KA, Hansen GM, van Sligtenhorst I, Ding ZM, Revelli JP, Brommage R. Obesity of G2e3 Knockout Mice Suggests That Obesity-Associated Variants Near Human G2E3 Decrease G2E3 Activity. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2020; 13:2641-2652. [PMID: 32801815 PMCID: PMC7394505 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s259546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE In humans, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the adjacent protein kinase D1 (PRKD1) and G2/M-phase-specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (G2E3) genes on chromosome 14 are associated with obesity. To date, no published evidence links inactivation of either gene to changes in body fat. These two genes are also adjacent on mouse chromosome 12. Because obesity genes are highly conserved between humans and mice, we analyzed body fat in adult G2e3 and Prkd1 knockout (KO) mice to determine whether inactivating either gene leads to obesity in mice and, by inference, probably in humans. METHODS The G2e3 and Prkd1 KO lines were generated by gene trapping and by homologous recombination methodologies, respectively. Body fat was measured by DEXA in adult mice fed chow from weaning and by QMR in a separate cohort of mice fed high-fat diet (HFD) from weaning. Glucose homeostasis was evaluated with oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) performed on adult mice fed HFD from weaning. RESULTS Body fat was increased in multiple cohorts of G2e3 KO mice relative to their wild-type (WT) littermates. When data from all G2e3 KO (n=32) and WT (n=31) mice were compared, KO mice showed increases of 11% in body weight (P<0.01), 65% in body fat (P<0.001), 48% in % body fat (P<0.001), and an insignificant 3% decrease in lean body mass. G2e3 KO mice were also glucose intolerant during an OGTT (P<0.05). In contrast, Prkd1 KO and WT mice had comparable body fat levels and glucose tolerance. CONCLUSION Significant obesity and glucose intolerance were observed in G2e3, but not Prkd1, KO mice. The conservation of obesity genes between mice and humans strongly suggests that the obesity-associated SNPs located near the human G2E3 and PRKD1 genes are linked to variants that decrease the amount of functional human G2E3.
