Progressive Disease

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease that is characterized by the appearance of insulin resistance. The term insulin resistance is very wide and could affect different proteins involved in insulin signaling, as well as other mechanisms. In this review, we have analyzed the main molecular mechanisms that could be involved in the connection between type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration, in general, and more specifically with the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease. We have studied, in more detail, the different processes involved, such as inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Metabolic Characteristics

Insulin resistance and loss of β-cell mass cause Type 2 diabetes (T2D). The objective of this study was to generate a nongenetic mouse model of T2D. Ninety-six 6-month-old C57BL/6N males were assigned to 1 of 12 groups including (1) low-fat diet (LFD; low-fat control; LFC), (2) LFD with 1 i.p. 40 mg/kg BW streptozotocin (STZ) injection, (3), (4), (5), (6) LFD with 2, 3, 4, or 5 STZ injections on consecutive days, respectively, (7) high-fat diet (HFD), (8) HFD with 1 STZ injection, (9), (10), (11), (12) HFD with 2, 3, 4, or 5 STZ injections on consecutive days, respectively. After 4 weeks, serum insulin levels were reduced in HFD mice administered at least 2 STZ injections as compared with HFC. Glucose tolerance was impaired in mice that consumed HFD and received 2, 3, or 4 injections of STZ. Insulin sensitivity in HFD mice was lower than that of LFD mice, regardless of STZ treatment. Islet mass was not affected by diet but was reduced by 50% in mice that received 3 STZ injections. The combination of HFD and three 40 mg/kg STZ injections induced a model with metabolic characteristics of T2D, including peripheral insulin resistance and reduced β-cell mass.

Abstract Although elevated circulating amino acids are associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D), how amino acids act on cell insulin signaling and glucose uptake remains unclear. Herein, we report that phenylalanine modifies insulin receptor beta (IRβ) and inactivates insulin signaling and glucose uptake. Mice fed phenylalanine-rich chow or overexpressing human phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (hFARS) developed insulin resistance and symptoms of T2D. Mechanistically, FARS phenylalanylated lysine 1057/1079 of IRβ (F-K1057/1079) inactivated IRβ and prevented insulin from generating insulin signaling to promote glucose uptake by cells. SIRT1 reversed F-K1057/1079 and counteracted the insulin-inactivating effects of hFARS and phenylalanine. F-K1057/1079 and SIRT1 levels of white cells of T2D patients’ blood samples were positively and negatively correlated with T2D onset, respectively. Blocking F-K1057/1079 with phenylalaninol sensitized insulin signaling and relieved T2D symptoms in hFARS-transgenic and db/db mice. We revealed mechanisms of how phenylalanylation inactivates insulin signaling that may be employed to control T2D.

Impaired Insulin

Impaired insulin signaling has been thought of as important step in both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulate functions and interaction of insulin with insulin receptors substrates (IRSs) and activate insulin signaling downstream pathways via autophosphorylation on several tyrosine (TYR) residues on IRSs. Two important insulin receptor substrates 1 and 2 are widely expressed in human, and alternative phosphorylation on their serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) residues has been known to block the Tyr phosphorylation of IRSs, thus inhibiting insulin signaling and promoting insulin resistance. Like phosphorylation, O-glycosylation modification is important PTM and inhibits phosphorylation on same or neighboring Ser/Thr residues, often called Yin Yang sites. Both IRS-1 and IRS-2 have been shown to be O-glycosylated; however exact sites are not determined yet. In this study, by using neuronal network based prediction methods, we found more than 50 Ser/Thr residues that have potential to be O-glycosylated and may act as possible sites as well. Moreover, alternative phosphorylation and O-glycosylation on IRS-1 Ser-312, 984, 1037, and 1101 may act as possible therapeutic targets to minimize the risk of AD and T2DM.

Abstract Background The underlying molecular mechanism of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistance is that abnormalities occur in the complex insulin signaling pathway. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the development of diseases by regulating gene expression and become promising novel biomarkers for diseases. This study screened and validated the insulin signaling pathway-related circulating circRNAs, which are associated with T2D. Methods Based on circRNA microarray, candidate circRNAs involved in the insulin PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were selected and validated by RT-qPCR. The association between circRNAs and T2D and their clinical significance were further assessed by logistic regression model, correlation analysis and ROC curve in a large cohort. The miRNA targets of validated circRNAs was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results A total of 370 upregulated circRNAs and 180 downregulated circRNAs were differentially expressed between new T2D cases and controls. hsa_circ_0063425, hsa_circ_0056891 and hsa_circ_0104123 were selected as candidate circRNAs for validation. Low expressed circ_0063425 and hsa_circ_0056891 were independent predictors of T2D, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and insulin resistance. The two-circRNA panel had a high diagnostic accuracy for discriminating T2D and IFG from healthy controls. miR-19a-3p and miR-1-3p were identified as the miRNA targets of hsa_circ_0063425 and hsa_circ_0056891, respectively. Significantly positive correlations were found between the expression levels of AKT and hsa_circ_0063425, PI3K and hsa_circ_0056891, in the total sample and subgroups stratified by glucose levels. Conclusion hsa_circ_0063425 and hsa_circ_0056891 are valuable circulating biomarkers for early detection of T2D, which may be involved in regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling. Key messages Insulin signaling pathway-related circulating circRNAs was identification as novel biomarkers of type 2 diabetes. Keywords circRNA; type 2 diabetes; insulin signaling; biomarker.
