Metabolic Signatures

AbstractWe aimed to identify serum metabolites related to abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The study recruited 50 women diagnosed with GDM during mid-late pregnancy and 50 non-GDM matchees in a Singapore birth cohort. At the 5-year post-partum follow-up, we applied an untargeted approach to investigate the profiles of serum metabolites among all participants. We first employed OPLS-DA and logistic regression to discriminate women with and without follow-up AGM, and then applied area under the curve (AUC) to assess the incremental indicative value of metabolic signatures on AGM. We identified 23 candidate metabolites that were associated with postpartum AGM among all participants. We then narrowed down to five metabolites [p-cresol sulfate, linoleic acid, glycocholic acid, lysoPC(16:1) and lysoPC(20:3)] specifically associating with both GDM and postpartum AGM. The combined metabolites in addition to traditional risks showed a higher indicative value in AUC (0.92–0.94 vs. 0.74 of traditional risks and 0.77 of baseline diagnostic biomarkers) and R2 (0.67–0.70 vs. 0.25 of traditional risks and 0.32 of baseline diagnostic biomarkers) in terms of AGM indication, compared with the traditional risks model and traditional risks and diagnostic biomarkers combined model. These metabolic signatures significantly increased the AUC value of AGM indication in addition to traditional risks, and might shed light on the pathophysiology underlying the transition from GDM to AGM.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to the condition which shows abnormal glucose metabolism that occurs during pregnancy, while normal glucose metabolism before pregnancy. In the present study, a novel analytical procedure was used to explore the key molecule of gestational diabetes mellitus. First, the weighted pathway model was carried out subsequently to eliminate the gene-overlapping effects among pathways. Second, we assessed the enriched pathways by a combination of Fisher’s t-test and the Mann–Whitney U test. We carried out the functional principal component analysis by estimating F values of genes to identify the hub genes in the enriched pathways. Results showed that a total of 4 differential pathways were enriched. The key pathway was considered as the insulin secretion pathway. F values of each gene in the key pathway were calculated. Three hub molecules were identified as hub differentially methylated genes, namely, CAMK2B, ADCYAP1, and KCNN2. In addition, by further comparing the gene expression data in a validation cohort, one key molecule was obtained, ADCYAP1. Therefore, ADCYAP1 may serve as a potential target for the treatment of GDM.

Abstract Background It is unknown whether early postpartum abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is related to their mid-trimester lipid profile. The aim of this study was to characterize the mid-trimester lipid profile of women who experienced GDM and developed into different pathophysiologic subtypes of early postpartum AGM. Methods A retrospective cohort study of 498 women with history of GDM was conducted. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and plasma lipid measurements were performed at 24–28 weeks of gestation and 6–12 weeks of postpartum. Insulin secretion and sensitivity were estimated using early postpartum OGTT-based indices. Results Women in the mid-trimester dyslipidemia group had higher postpartum 30-min and 2-h plasma glucose, higher postpartum 2-h plasma insulin, higher postpartum triglyceride (TG), higher postpartum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) concentrations, lower postpartum 30-min insulinogenic index (IGI30), lower postpartum insulin sensitivity index (ISI), and lower postpartum disposition index than those in the normal lipid group (all P < 0.05). Abnormal mid-trimester TG and LDL-c concentrations were associated with postpartum AGM (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.786, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.142–2.425; and adjusted OR = 1.621, 95 % CI = 1.323–2.051, respectively; both P < 0.05). AGM women with low IGI30 and low ISI had higher mid-trimester total cholesterol and LDL-c concentrations, and AGM women with low ISI had higher mid-trimester TG concentrations than women with NGT or other subtypes of AGM (all P < 0.05). Conclusions GDM women with abnormal mid-trimester TG and LDL-c were predisposed to early postpartum AGM. Postpartum AGM women who experienced GDM had heterogeneous mid-trimester lipid profile when classified according to their pathophysiologic subtype.

Abstract Objective To identify circulating metabolites present at ~28 weeks’ gestation associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and development of a disorder of glucose metabolism 10-14 years later. Methods Conventional clinical and targeted metabolomics analyses were performed on fasting and 1-hr serum samples following a 75g glucose load at ∼28 weeks’ gestation from 2,290 women who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study. Postpartum metabolic traits included fasting and 2-hr plasma glucose following a 75g glucose load, insulin resistance estimated by homeostasis model assessment, and disorders of glucose metabolism (prediabetes and type 2 diabetes) during the HAPO Follow-Up Study. Results Per-metabolite analyses identified numerous metabolites, ranging from amino acids and carbohydrates to fatty acids and lipids, before and 1-hr after a glucose load that were associated with GDM as well as development of a disorder of glucose metabolism and metabolic traits 10-14 years postpartum. A core group of fasting and 1-hr metabolites mediated, in part, the relationship between GDM and postpartum disorders of glucose metabolism, with the fasting and 1-hr metabolites accounting for 15.7% (7.1%-30.8%) and 35.4% (14.3%-101.0%) of the total effect size, respectively. For prediction of a postpartum disorder of glucose metabolism, addition of circulating fasting or 1-hr metabolites at ~28 weeks’ gestation showed little improvement in prediction performance compared to clinical factors alone. Conclusions The results demonstrate association of multiple metabolites with GDM and postpartum metabolic traits and begin to define the underlying pathophysiology of the transition from GDM to a postpartum disorder of glucose metabolism.

Background Although the WW-domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX)/Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) pathway is a well-known regulator of cellular glucose and energy metabolism in pathophysiological processes, its role in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), remains elusive. We undertook this study to determine the effect of WWOX/HIF1A signaling on the expression of glucose metabolism genes in GDM patients. Methods Leukocytes were obtained from 135 pregnant women with (n = 98) or without (n = 37) GDM and, in turn, 3 months (n = 8) and 1 year (n = 12) postpartum. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed to determine gene expression profiles of the WWOX/HIF1A-related genes, including those involved in glucose transport (SLC2A1, SLC2A4), glycolytic pathway (HK2, PKM2, PFK, LDHA), Wnt pathway (DVL2, CTNNB1), and inflammatory response (NFKB1). Results GDM patients displayed a significant downregulation of WWOX with simultaneous upregulation of HIF1A which resulted in approximately six times reduction in WWOX/HIF1A ratio. As a consequence, HIF1A induced genes (SLC2A1, HK2, PFK, PKM) were found to be overexpressed in GDM compared to normal pregnancy and negative correlate with WWOX/HIF1A ratio. The postpartum WWOX expression was higher than during GDM, but its level was comparable to that observed in normal pregnancy. Conclusions The obtained results suggest a significant contribution of the WWOX gene to glucose metabolism in patients with gestational diabetes. Decreased WWOX expression in GDM compared to normal pregnancy, and in particular reduction of WWOX/HIF1A ratio, indicate that WWOX modulates HIF1α activity in normal tissues as described in the tumor. The effect of HIF1α excessive activation is to increase the expression of genes encoding proteins directly involved in the glycolysis which may lead to pathological changes in glucose metabolism observed in gestational diabetes.
