Nucleotide Degradation

Prolyl hydroxylation is a post-translational modification that regulates protein stability, turnover, and activity. The proteins that catalyze prolyl hydroxylation belong to the 2-oxoglutarate- and iron-dependent oxygenase family of enzymes. A newly-described member of this family is 2-oxoglutarate- and iron-dependent oxygenase domain containing protein 1 (Ogfod1), which catalyzes prolyl hydroxylation of the ribosomal protein s23 (Rps23). To investigate the cardiovascular function of Ogfod1, we isolated hearts from 5 Ogfod1 -WT and 5 Ogfod1 -KO mice and used Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify proteomic changes. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) identified “Purine Nucleotides Degradation II (Aerobic)” ( P = 0.00017) to be one of the most significantly-enriched pathways. We then did metabolomics and found that Inosine 5’-monophosphate (IMP) was 3.5x higher in Ogfod1 -KO hearts ( P = 0.011), further supporting a role for Ogfod1 in regulating purine nucleotide metabolism. Recent evidence has shown that altering purine nucleotide degradation protects against diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance, so we tested this hypothesis in Ogfod1 -KO mice by feeding them high-fat diets. Ogfod1 ablation protects against high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Altering purine nucleotide degradation has also been shown to be protective against cardiac injury, so we tested the hypothesis that Ogfod1 loss protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by subjecting perfused hearts from 6 Ogfod1 -WT and 6 Ogfod1 -KO mice to ischemia and reperfusion and assessed tissue death. We found a 37% decrease in infarct size in Ogfod1 -KO hearts (56% in Ogfod1 -WT and 35% in Ogfod1 -KO, P = 0.0003). In a separate set of experiments, we treated Ogofd1 -KO mice with isoproterenol to induce hypertrophy, and Ogfod1 -KO hearts showed protection against hypertrophic remodeling. Interestingly, OGFOD1 transcripts were up-regulated in human heart failure, indicating a potential role for OGFOD1 in the human failing heart. Altogether, these data show that Ogfod1 deletion alters the myocardial proteome and myocardial metabolism and protects against obesity, insulin sensitivity, I/R injury, and hypertrophy.

The majority of patients with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome have hypertension, but the mechanisms of hypertension are poorly understood. In these patients, impaired sodium excretion is critical for the genesis of Na+-sensitive hypertension, and prior studies have proposed a role for the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in this syndrome. We characterized high fat-fed mice as a model in which to study the contribution of ENaC-mediated Na+ reabsorption in obesity and insulin resistance. High fat-fed mice demonstrated impaired Na+ excretion and elevated blood pressure, which was significantly higher on a high-Na+ diet compared with low fat-fed control mice. However, high fat-fed mice had no increase in ENaC activity as measured by Na+ transport across microperfused cortical collecting ducts, electrolyte excretion, or blood pressure. In addition, we found no difference in endogenous urinary aldosterone excretion between groups on a normal or high-Na+ diet. High fat-fed mice provide a model of metabolic syndrome, recapitulating obesity, insulin resistance, impaired natriuresis, and a Na+-sensitive elevation in blood pressure. Surprisingly, in contrast to previous studies, our data demonstrate that high fat feeding of mice impairs natriuresis and produces elevated blood pressure that is independent of ENaC activity and likely caused by increased Na+ reabsorption upstream of the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron.

Diet Induced Obesity

Isoliquiritigenin (ILG) is a flavonoid constituent of Glycyrrhizae plants. The current study investigated the effects of ILG on diet-induced obesity and metabolic diseases. C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal diet (AIN-76 purified diet), high-fat diet (40 kcal% fat), and high-fat diet +0.02% (w/w) ILG for 16 weeks. Supplementation of ILG resulted in decreased body fat mass and plasma cholesterol level. ILG ameliorated hepatic steatosis by suppressing the expression of hepatic lipogenesis genes and hepatic triglyceride and fatty acid contents, while enhancing β-oxidation in the liver. ILG improved insulin resistance by lowering plasma glucose and insulin levels. This was also demonstrated by the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). Additionally, ILG upregulated the expression of insulin signaling-related genes in the liver and muscle. Interestingly, ILG elevated energy expenditure by increasing the expression of thermogenesis genes, which is linked to stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis and uncoupled cellular respiration in brown adipose tissue. ILG also suppressed proinflammatory cytokine levels in the plasma. These results suggest that ILG supplemented at 0.02% in the diet can ameliorate body fat mass, plasma cholesterol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance; these effects were partly mediated by increasing energy expenditure in high-fat fed mice.

Abstract Circulating branched chain amino acid (BCAA) levels are elevated in obese humans and genetically obese rodents. However, the relationship of BCAAs to insulin resistance in diet-induced obese mice, a commonly used model to study glucose homeostasis, is still ill-defined. Here we examined how high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) or high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, with or without BCAA supplementation in water, alters the metabolome in serum/plasma and tissues in mice and whether raising circulating BCAA levels worsens insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Neither HFHS nor HFD-feeding raised circulating BCAA levels in insulin-resistant diet-induced obese mice. BCAA supplementation raised circulating BCAA and BCKA levels and C5-OH/C3-DC acylcarnitines (AC) in muscle from HFHS or HFD-fed mice, but did not worsen insulin resistance. A set of short and long-chain acyl CoAs were elevated by diet alone in muscle, liver and WAT, but not increased further by BCAA supplementation. HFD feeding reduced valine and leucine oxidation in WAT but not in muscle. BCAA supplementation markedly increased valine oxidation in muscle from HFD-fed mice while leucine oxidation was unaffected by diet or BCAA treatment. Here we establish an extensive metabolome database showing tissue-specific changes in mice on two different HFDs, with or without BCAA supplementation. We conclude that mildly elevating circulating BCAAs and a subset of ACs by BCAA supplementation does not worsen insulin resistance or glucose tolerance in mice. This work highlights major differences in the effects of BCAAs on glucose homeostasis in diet-induced obese mice versus data reported in obese rats and in humans.

The peel of the native Brazilian fruit jaboticaba is rich in anthocyanins, which are known for their anti-obesity effects in animal models. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of freeze-dried jaboticaba peel powder (FDJPP) on a number of metabolic parameters in a model of diet-induced obesity. Mice (n 8 per group) were initially fed on a high-fat diet (HFD, 35 % w/w) for 4 weeks and then switched to a HFD supplemented with FDJPP (1, 2 or 4 % w/w) for an additional 6 weeks. Energy intake, weight loss, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and lipid profile were determined, and the results were evaluated using ANOVA and Tukey's tests. The FDJPP exerted no protective effect on HFD-induced weight gain, hyperleptinaemia and glucose intolerance. However, the supplementation was effective to reduce insulin resistance, as evidenced in the insulin tolerance test, and subsequently confirmed by improved signal transduction through the insulin receptor/insulin receptor substrate-1/Akt/forkhead box protein pathway and by the attenuation of HFD-induced inflammation in the liver, verified by lower expressions of IL-1β and IL-6 and decreased phosphorylated IκB-α protein levels in all jaboticaba-treated mice. These results suggest that FDJPP may exert a protective role against obesity-associated insulin resistance.
