Integrative proteomics and metabolomics approach to elucidate metabolic dysfunction induced by silica nanoparticles in hepatocytes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 434:128820. [PMID: 35427968 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are derived from manufactured materials and the natural environment, and they cause detrimental effects on human health via various exposure routes. The liver is proven to be a key target organ for SiNP toxicity; however, the mechanisms causing toxicity remain largely uncertain. Here, we investigated the effects of SiNPs on the metabolic spectrum in hepatocytes via integrative analyses of proteomics and metabolomics. First, a proteomic analysis was used to screen for critical proteins (including RPL3, HSP90AA1, SOD, PGK1, GOT1, and PNP), indicating that abnormal protein synthesis, protein misfolding, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction may contribute to SiNP-induced hepatotoxicity. Next, metabolomic data demonstrated that SiNPs caused metabolic dysfunction by altering vital metabolites (including glucose, alanine, GSH, CTP, and ATP). Finally, a systematic bioinformatic analysis of protein-metabolite interactions showed that SiNPs disturbed glucose metabolism (glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways, amino acid metabolism (alanine, aspartate, and glutamate), and ribonucleotide metabolism (purine and pyrimidine). These metabolic dysfunctions could exacerbate oxidative stress and lead to liver injury. Moreover, SOD, TKT, PGM1, GOT1, PNP, and NME2 may be key proteins for SiNP-induced hepatotoxicity. This study revealed the metabolic mechanisms underlying SiNP-induced hepatotoxicity and illustrated that integrative omics analyses can be a powerful approach for toxicity evaluations and risk assessments of nanoparticles.

Apolipoprotein A-II, a Player in Multiple Processes and Diseases. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10071578. [PMID: 35884883 PMCID: PMC9313276 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10071578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) is the second most abundant apolipoprotein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, playing an important role in lipid metabolism. Human and murine apoA-II proteins have dissimilar properties, partially because human apoA-II is dimeric whereas the murine homolog is a monomer, suggesting that the role of apoA-II may be quite different in humans and mice. As a component of HDL, apoA-II influences lipid metabolism, being directly or indirectly involved in vascular diseases. Clinical and epidemiological studies resulted in conflicting findings regarding the proatherogenic or atheroprotective role of apoA-II. Human apoA-II deficiency has little influence on lipoprotein levels with no obvious clinical consequences, while murine apoA-II deficiency causes HDL deficit in mice. In humans, an increased plasma apoA-II concentration causes hypertriglyceridemia and lowers HDL levels. This dyslipidemia leads to glucose intolerance, and the ensuing high blood glucose enhances apoA-II transcription, generating a vicious circle that may cause type 2 diabetes (T2D). ApoA-II is also used as a biomarker in various diseases, such as pancreatic cancer. Herein, we provide a review of the most recent findings regarding the roles of apoA-II and its functions in various physiological processes and disease states, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, amyloidosis, hepatitis, insulin resistance, obesity, and T2D.

Abstract
We aim to explore effects of Ketotifen on metabolic profiles, inflammation and oxidative stress. Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC) and experimental groups, and experimental group rats were fed with high-sugar and fat diet for 6 weeks. Then, experimental group rats were divided into diabetes group (DM) and ketotifen treatment group (KT). KT group was given ketotifen via Intragastric for 8 weeks with the dosage of 0.09 mg/kg/d. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was measured using glucose oxidase-phenol amino phenazone method. Fasting insulin (FINS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were quantified by spectrophotometer method. Before Ketotifen administration, compared with NC group, DM and KT groups showed significantly high levels of body weight, FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL, IL-6, TNF-α and MDA, and lower levels of HDL and SOD (All p <0.05). After 4 weeks of Ketotifen administration, levels of body weight, FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL, IL-6, TNF-α in KT group decreased significantly, and levels of HDL and SOD elevated significantly (All p <0.05). After 8 weeks of Ketotifen administration, levels of body weight, FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL, IL-6, TNF-α and MDA in KT group decreased more obviously, and levels of HDL and SOD elevated significantly further (All p <0.05). Ketotifen improved metabolic profiles, and ameliorated status of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
In mouse senile amyloidosis, apolipoprotein (Apo) A-II is deposited extracellularly in many organs in the form of amyloid fibrils (AApoAII). Reduction of caloric intake, known as caloric restriction (CR), slows the progress of senescence and age-related disorders in mice. In this study, we intravenously injected 1 μg of isolated AApoAII fibrils into R1.P1-Apoa2c mice to induce experimental amyloidosis and investigated the effects of CR for the next 16 weeks. In the CR group, AApoAII amyloid deposits in the liver, tongue, small intestine and skin were significantly reduced compared to those of the ad libitum feeding group. CR treatment led to obvious reduction in body weight, improvement in glucose metabolism and reduction in the plasma concentration of ApoA-II. Our molecular biological analyses of the liver suggested that CR treatment might improve the symptoms of inflammation, the unfolded protein response induced by amyloid deposits and oxidative stress. Furthermore, we suggest that CR treatment might improve mitochondrial functions via the sirtuin 1-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (SIRT1-PGC-1α) pathway. We suggest that CR is a promising approach for treating the onset and/or progression of amyloidosis, especially for systemic amyloidosis such as senile AApoAII amyloidosis. Our analysis of CR treatment for amyloidosis should provide useful information for determining the cause of amyloidosis and developing effective preventive treatments.

Abstract
Background 265T>C SNP in the APOA-II gene promoter may be associated with obesity risk and insulin resistance (IR). This study aims to analyze the association between the APOA2 − 265T>C SNP and risk for obesity and IR in adolescents. Material and methods The study was conducted on 500 adolescents. They were 240 obese and 260 non-obese individuals, aged 16–21 years old. Their mean age was 18.25 ± 2.54 years. Variables examined body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), body fat percentage (BF%), and abdominal visceral fat layer. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was used as a biomarker for IR. BF% was assessed by body composition analyzer and abdominal visceral fat thickness was determined by ultrasonography. The APOA2 − 265T>C polymorphism genotype was analyzed by PCR amplification of a 273-bp fragment. Results Genotype frequencies were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of the mutant C allele was significantly higher in obese cases than non-obese cases. After multivariate adjustment, waist, BF%, visceral adipose layer and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in homozygous allele CC carriers than TT + TC carriers. Homozygous individuals for the CC allele had statistically higher values of energy intake, total fat (g/day) and saturated fat (SATFAT) than carriers of the T allele. Conclusions Homozygous individuals for the C allele had higher obesity risk than carriers of the T allele and had elevated levels of visceral adipose tissue. Moreover, the present study shows that the CC polymorphism is associated with the development of IR [OR 1.89 (1.35–2.91), P = .012] and remains significant after adjusting for gender, age and body mass index.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study is designed to identify proteomic biomarkers that predict the subsequent development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS Maternal blood was obtained prospectively from healthy pregnant women in the early second trimester (16-20 weeks). Twelve women subsequently diagnosed with GDM at 24 to 28 weeks were selected as cases; an equal number of normoglycemic women as controls. Proteomic analysis of the previously stored plasma was performed by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (SELDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. RESULTS Three peaks (9122 Da, 9412 Da, and 9701 Da) that were increased in cases were characterized as isoforms of apolipoprotein CIII. Another discriminatory peak (17 105 Da) that was decreased in cases was matched to apolipoprotein AII. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confirmed that women who subsequently developed GDM had significantly higher levels of apolipoprotein CIII than controls did. Levels of apolipoprotein AII failed to reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that there already exist biomarkers in the maternal circulation at 16 to 20 weeks in women who subsequently develop GDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The APOA2 gene has been associated with obesity and insulin resistance (IR) in animal and human studies with controversial results. We have reported an APOA2-saturated fat interaction determining body mass index (BMI) and obesity in American populations. This work aims to extend our findings to European and Asian populations. METHODS Cross-sectional study in 4602 subjects from two independent populations: a high-cardiovascular risk Mediterranean population (n = 907 men and women; aged 67 ± 6 years) and a multiethnic Asian population (n = 2506 Chinese, n = 605 Malays and n = 494 Asian Indians; aged 39 ± 12 years) participating in a Singapore National Health Survey. Anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, lifestyle and dietary variables were determined. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance was used in Asians. We analyzed gene-diet interactions between the APOA2 -265T>C polymorphism and saturated fat intake (<or ≥ 22 g per day) on anthropometric measures and IR. RESULTS Frequency of CC (homozygous for the minor allele) subjects differed among populations (1-15%). We confirmed a recessive effect of the APOA2 polymorphism and replicated the APOA2-saturated fat interaction on body weight. In Mediterranean individuals, the CC genotype was associated with a 6.8% greater BMI in those consuming a high (P = 0.018), but not a low (P = 0.316) saturated fat diet. Likewise, the CC genotype was significantly associated with higher obesity prevalence in Chinese and Asian Indians only, with a high-saturated fat intake (P = 0.036). We also found a significant APOA2-saturated fat interaction in determining IR in Chinese and Asian Indians (P = 0.026). CONCLUSION The influence of the APOA2 -265T>C polymorphism on body-weight-related measures was modulated by saturated fat in Mediterranean and Asian populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated prospectively the predictive value of serum apolipoprotein (apo) A-II, the second major apolipoprotein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), for cardiometabolic risk in Turkish adults showing abnormalities in other proteins that normally confer protection. METHODS Determinants of apoA-II and its associations with coronary heart disease (CHD), metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes were investigated at 4 years follow-up in 193 elderly men and women. RESULTS ApoA-II concentrations at baseline, in addition to being significantly related to HDL-cholesterol, were directly associated with complement C3 in multivariate linear regression analyses comprising nine variables. Following adjustment for gender, age and HDL-cholesterol (>30/>33 g/L, in men and women, respectively), low serum apoA-II concentrations predicted incident MetS [relative risk (RR) 3.5 (95% CI 1.4; 8.6)] and type 2 diabetes [RR 4.5 (95% CI 1.3; 15.6)] in both genders at an increment of 1 SD. Increased apoA-II values were not associated with prevalent or incident CHD, and tended to be marginally atheroprotective only in males. CONCLUSIONS Serum apoA-II concentrations confer risk for MetS and diabetes and exhibit evidence of anti-inflammatory properties among Turks. These findings support the effects seen for several other HDL protein constituents. This finding may explain the increased cardiometabolic risk among Turks.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia which characterizes diabetes, leads to several abnormalities in the cellular pathways. We examined the toxicity of glucose in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells when incubated with 50mM glucose for 72h showed altered morphology i.e. presence of detached and shrunken rounded cells. Glucose treated HepG2 cells also exhibited a significant decrease in viability. Caspase-3 activity and Annexin V staining were significantly increased in glucose treated HepG2 cells, suggesting an apoptotic mode of cell death. Glucose induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells was a consequence of increased oxidative stress as evidenced by the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine adduct formation. The intracellular antioxidant glutathione was found to be increased in HepG2 cells treated with glucose, possibly to aid the cells to overcome the persistent oxidative stress elicited by glucose in HepG2 cells. N-Acetyl cysteine, a precursor of glutathione and an antioxidant was effective in reversing the morphological changes, increasing the viability, decreasing the ROS level and 4-hydroxynonenal and 3-nitrotyrosine adduct formation, thus validating the role of oxidative stress as a major mechanism for glucose induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that glucose induces apoptosis in liver cells through increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Background APOA2 is a positional and biological candidate gene for type 2 diabetes at the chromosome 1q21-q24 susceptibility locus. The aim of this study was to examine if HapMap phase II tag SNPs in APOA2 are associated with type 2 diabetes and quantitative traits in French Caucasian subjects. Methods We genotyped the three HapMap phase II tagging SNPs (rs6413453, rs5085 and rs5082) required to capture the common variation spanning the APOA2 locus in our type 2 diabetes case-control cohort comprising 3,093 French Caucasian subjects. The association between these variants and quantitative traits was also examined in the normoglycaemic adults of the control cohort. In addition, meta-analysis of publicly available whole genome association data was performed. Results None of the APOA2 tag SNPs were associated with type 2 diabetes in the French Caucasian case-control cohort (rs6413453, P = 0.619; rs5085, P = 0.245; rs5082, P = 0.591). However, rs5082 was marginally associated with total cholesterol levels (P = 0.026) and waist-to-hip ratio (P = 0.029). The meta-analysis of data from 12,387 subjects confirmed our finding that common variation at the APOA2 locus is not associated with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion The available data does not support a role for common variants in APOA2 on type 2 diabetes susceptibility or related quantitative traits in Northern Europeans.

Abstract
We studied the relationship of serum apolipoprotein A-II concentration with biochemical parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, type of hyperlipidemia, and insulin sensitivity in male patients with hyperlipidemia. High concentration of apolipoprotein A-II was associated with increased indices of atherogenic lipoproteins and high-density lipoprotein-mediated reverse cholesterol transport, combined hyperlipidemia, and decreased insulin sensitivity calculated with consideration for glucose and insulin levels in glucose tolerance test and body weight.

Abstract
Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia and low plasma HDL levels, which are principal features of the metabolic syndrome, are displayed by transgenic mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-II (hapoA-II). In these mice, hypertriglyceridemia results from the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities by hapoA-II carried on VLDL. This study aimed to determine whether the association of hapoA-II with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) is sufficient to impair their catabolism. To measure plasma TRL residence time, intestinal TRL production was induced by a radioactive oral lipid bolus. Radioactive and total triglyceride (TG) were rapidly cleared in control mice but accumulated in plasma of transgenic mice, in relation to hapoA-II concentration. Similar plasma TG accumulations were measured in transgenic mice with or without endogenous apoA-II expression. HapoA-II (synthesized in liver) was detected in chylomicrons (produced by intestine). The association of hapoA-II with TRL in plasma was further confirmed by the absence of hapoA-II in chylomicrons and VLDL of transgenic mice injected with Triton WR 1339, which prevents apolipoprotein exchanges. We show that the association of hapoA-II with TRL occurs in the circulation and induces postprandial hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
In the small intestine, the expression of the apolipoprotein (apo) C-III and A-IV genes is restricted to the enterocytes of the villi. We have previously shown that, in transgenic mice, specific expression of the human apo C-III requires a hormone-responsive element (HRE) located in the distal region of the human apoA-IV promoter. This HRE binds the hepatic nuclear factors (HNF)-4alpha and gamma. Here, intraduodenal injections in mice and infections of human enterocytic Caco-2/TC7 cells with an adenovirus expressing a dominant-negative form of HNF-4alpha repress the expression of the apoA-IV gene, demonstrating that HNF-4 controls the apoA-IV gene expression in enterocytes. We show that HNF-4alpha and gamma functionally interact with a second HRE present in the proximal region of the human apoA-IV promoter. New sets of transgenic mice expressing mutated forms of the promoter, combined with the human apo C-III enhancer, demonstrate that, whereas a single HRE is sufficient to reproduce the physiological cephalo-caudal gradient of apoA-IV gene expression, both HREs are required for expression that is restricted to villi. The combination of multiple HREs may specifically recruit regulatory complexes associating HNF-4 and either coactivators in villi or corepressors in crypts.
