  abstract  = {Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disease regulated by an interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. To understand the genetic contribution in the development of diabetes, mice varying in their disease susceptibility were crossed with the obese and diabetes-prone New Zealand obese (NZO) mouse. Subsequent whole-genome sequence scans revealed one major quantitative trait loci (QTL),Nidd/DBAon chromosome 4, linked to elevated blood glucose and reduced plasma insulin and low levels of pancreatic insulin. Phenotypical characterization of congenic mice carrying 13.6 Mbp of the critical fragment of DBA mice displayed severe hyperglycemia and impaired glucose clearance at week 10, decreased glucose response in week 13, and loss of beta-cells and pancreatic insulin in week 16. To identify the responsible gene variant(s), further congenic mice were generated and phenotyped, which resulted in a fragment of 3.3 Mbp that was sufficient to induce hyperglycemia. By combining transcriptome analysis and haplotype mapping, the number of putative responsible variant(s) was narrowed from initial 284 to 18 genes, including gene models and non-coding RNAs. Consideration of haplotype blocks reduced the number of candidate genes to four (Kti12,Osbpl9,Ttc39a, andCalr4) as potential T2D candidates as they display a differential expression in pancreatic islets and/or sequence variation. In conclusion, the integration of comparative analysis of multiple inbred populations such as haplotype mapping, transcriptomics, and sequence data substantially improved the mapping resolution of the diabetes QTLNidd/DBA. Future studies are necessary to understand the exact role of the different candidates in beta-cell function and their contribution in maintaining glycemic control.},

  abstract  = {Background: The objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between first trimester maternal serum levels of the TTR-RBP4-ROH complex components and the later insurgence of an altered glucose metabolism during pregnancy. Methods: Retrospective case control study including 96 patients between the 12th and 14th week of gestation, 32 that developed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), respectively, 21 non-insulin-treated (dGDM) and 11 insulin-treated (iGDM), 20 large for gestational age fetuses (LGA) without GDM and 44 patients with normal outcome as control. Serum concentrations of RBP4 and TTR were assessed by ELISA; serum concentration of ROH by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (rpHPLC). The molecular heterogeneity of TTR and RBP4 was analyzed after immunoprecipitation by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Results: iGDM patients were characterized by reduced TTR, RBP4 and ROH compared to controls (respectively, iGDM vs. controls, mean +/- SD: TTR 3.96 +/- 0.89 mu mol/L vs. 4.68 +/- 1.21 mu mol/L, RBP4 1.13 +/- 0.25 mu mol/L vs. 1.33 +/- 0.38 mu mol/L and ROH 1.33 +/- 0.17 mu mol/L vs. 1.62 +/- 0.29 mu mol/L, p < 0.05). TTR containing Gly10 in place of Cys10 was lower in the iGDM group (p < 0.05) compared to controls. In the final logistic regression model ROH significantly predicted the diagnosis of iGDM (OR 0.93, 95\% CI 0.87-0.98, p < 0.05). Conclusions: First trimester maternal serum ROH, RBP4 and TTR represent potential biomarkers associated with the development of iGDM.},

  abstract  = {The ever-increasing fat content in Western diet, combined with decreased levels of physical activity, greatly enhance the incidence of metabolic-related diseases. Cancer cachexia (CC) and Metabolic syndrome (MetS) are both multifactorial highly complex metabolism related syndromes, whose etiology is not fully understood, as the mechanisms underlying their development are not completely unveiled. Nevertheless, despite being considered "opposite sides", MetS and CC share several common issues such as insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation. In these scenarios, tissue macrophages act as key players, due to their capacity to produce and release inflammatory mediators. One of the main features of MetS is hyperinsulinemia, which is generally associated with an attempt of the β-cell to compensate for diminished insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance). There is growing evidence that hyperinsulinemia per se may contribute to the development of insulin resistance, through the establishment of low grade inflammation in insulin responsive tissues, especially in the liver (as insulin is secreted by the pancreas into the portal circulation). The hypothesis of the present study was that insulin may itself provoke an inflammatory response culminating in diminished hepatic insulin sensitivity. To address this premise, firstly, human cell line U937 differentiated macrophages were exposed to insulin, LPS and PGE2. In these cells, insulin significantly augmented the gene expression of the pro-inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-8, CCL2, Oncostatin M (OSM) and microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase (mPGES1), and of the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-10. Moreover, the synergism between insulin and LPS enhanced the induction provoked by LPS in IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, CCL2 and TNF-α gene. When combined with PGE2, insulin enhanced the induction provoked by PGE2 in IL-1β, mPGES1 and COX2, and attenuated the inhibition induced by PGE2 in CCL2 and TNF-α gene expression contributing to an enhanced inflammatory response by both mechanisms. Supernatants of insulin-treated U937 macrophages reduced the insulin-dependent induction of glucokinase in hepatocytes by 50\%. Cytokines contained in the supernatant of insulin-treated U937 macrophages also activated hepatocytes ERK1/2, resulting in inhibitory serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrate. Additionally, the transcription factor STAT3 was activated by phosphorylation resulting in the induction of SOCS3, which is capable of interrupting the insulin receptor signal chain. MicroRNAs, non-coding RNAs linked to protein expression regulation, nowadays recognized as active players in the generation of several inflammatory disorders such as cancer and type II diabetes are also of interest. Considering that in cancer cachexia, patients are highly affected by insulin resistance and inflammation, control, non-cachectic and cachectic cancer patients were selected and the respective circulating levels of pro-inflammatory mediators and microRNA-21-5p, a posttranscriptional regulator of STAT3 expression, assessed and correlated. Cachectic patients circulating cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 levels were significantly higher than those of non-cachectic and controls, and the expression of microRNA-21-5p was significantly lower. Additionally, microRNA-21-5p reduced expression correlated negatively with IL-6 plasma levels. These results indicate that hyperinsulinemia per se might contribute to the low grade inflammation prevailing in MetS patients and thereby promote the development of insulin resistance particularly in the liver. Diminished MicroRNA-21-5p expression may enhance inflammation and STAT3 expression in cachectic patients, contributing to the development of insulin resistance.},

  title     = {Einfluss von Prostaglandin E2 auf die Entstehung von Insulinresistenz und die Regulation der Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort bei der Di{\"a}t-induzierten nicht-alkoholischen Fettlebererkrankung},
  pages     = {171},

  abstract  = {Weltweit sind fast 40 \% der Bev{\"o}lkerung {\"u}bergewichtig und die Pr{\"a}valenz von Adipositas, Insulinresistenz und den resultierenden Folgeerkrankungen wie dem Metabolischen Syndrom und Typ-2-Diabetes steigt rapide an. Als h{\"a}ufigste Ursachen werden di{\"a}tetisches Fehlverhalten und mangelnde Bewegung angesehen. Die nicht-alkoholische Fettlebererkrankung (NAFLD), deren Hauptcharakteristikum die exzessive Akkumulation von Lipiden in der Leber ist, korreliert mit dem Body Mass Index (BMI). NAFLD wird als hepatische Manifestation des Metabolischen Syndroms angesehen und ist inzwischen die h{\"a}ufigste Ursache f{\"u}r Leberfunktionsst{\"o}rungen. Die Erkrankung umfasst sowohl die benigne hepatische Steatose (Fettleber) als auch die progressive Form der nicht-alkoholischen Steatohepatitis (NASH), bei der die Steatose von Entz{\"u}ndung und Fibrose begleitet ist. Die Ausbildung einer NASH erh{\"o}ht das Risiko, ein hepatozellul{\"a}res Karzinom (HCC) zu entwickeln und kann zu irreversibler Leberzirrhose und terminalem Organversagen f{\"u}hren. Nahrungsbestandteile wie Cholesterol und Fett-reiche Di{\"a}ten werden als m{\"o}gliche Faktoren diskutiert, die den {\"U}bergang einer einfachen Fettleber zur schweren Verlaufsform der Steatohepatitis / NASH beg{\"u}nstigen. Eine Ausdehnung des Fettgewebes wird von Insulinresistenz und einer niedrig-gradigen chronischen Entz{\"u}ndung des Fettgewebes begleitet. Neben Endotoxinen aus dem Darm gelangen Entz{\"u}ndungsmediatoren aus dem Fettgewebe zur Leber. Als Folge werden residente Makrophagen der Leber, die Kupfferzellen, aktiviert, die eine Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort initiieren und weitere pro-inflammatorische Mediatoren freisetzen, zu denen Chemokine, Cytokine und Prostanoide wie Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) geh{\"o}ren. In dieser Arbeit soll aufgekl{\"a}rt werden, welchen Beitrag PGE2 an der Ausbildung von Insulinresistenz, hepatischer Steatose und Entz{\"u}ndung im Rahmen von Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH im komplexen Zusammenspiel mit der Regulation der Cytokin-Produktion und anderen Co-Faktoren wie Hyperinsulin{\"a}mie und Hyperlipid{\"a}mie hat. In murinen und humanen Makrophagen-Populationen wurde untersucht, welche Faktoren die Bildung von PGE2 f{\"o}rdern und wie PGE2 die Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort aktivierter Makrophagen reguliert. In prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte sowie in isolierten humanen Hepatozyten und Zelllinien wurde der Einfluss von PGE2 allein und in Kombination mit Cytokinen, deren Bildung durch PGE2 beeinflusst werden kann, auf die Insulin-abh{\"a}ngige Regulation des Glucose- und Lipid-stoffwechsels untersucht. Um den Einfluss von PGE2 im komplexen Zusammenspiel der Zelltypen in der Leber und im Gesamtorganismus zu erfassen, wurden M{\"a}use, in denen die PGE2-Synthese durch die Deletion der mikrosomalen PGE-Synthase 1 (mPGES1) vermindert war, mit einer NASH-induzierenden Di{\"a}t gef{\"u}ttert. In Lebern von Patienten mit NASH oder in M{\"a}usen mit Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH war die Expression der PGE2-synthetisierenden Enzyme Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) und mPGES1 sowie die Bildung von PGE2 im Vergleich zu gesunden Kontrollen gesteigert und korrelierte mit dem Schweregrad der Lebererkrankung. In prim{\"a}ren Makrophagen aus den Spezies Mensch, Maus und Ratte sowie in humanen Makrophagen-Zelllinien war die Bildung pro-inflammatorischer Mediatoren wie Chemokinen, Cytokinen und Prostaglandinen wie PGE2 verst{\"a}rkt, wenn die Zellen mit Endotoxinen wie Lipopolysaccharid (LPS), Fetts{\"a}uren wie Palmitins{\"a}ure, Cholesterol und Cholesterol-Kristallen oder Insulin, das als Folge der kompensatorischen Hyperinsulin{\"a}mie bei Insulinresistenz verst{\"a}rkt freigesetzt wird, inkubiert wurden. Insulin steigerte dabei synergistisch mit LPS oder Palmitins{\"a}ure die Synthese von PGE2 sowie der anderen Entz{\"u}ndungsmediatoren wie Interleukin (IL) 8 und IL-1β. PGE2 reguliert die Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort: Neben der Induktion der eigenen Synthese-Enzyme verst{\"a}rkte PGE2 die Expression der Immunzell-rekrutierenden Chemokine IL-8 und (C-C-Motiv)-Ligand 2 (CCL2) sowie die der pro-inflammatorischen Cytokine IL-1β und IL-6 in Makrophagen und kann so zur Verst{\"a}rkung der Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion beitragen. Außerdem f{\"o}rderte PGE2 die Bildung von Oncostatin M (OSM) und OSM induzierte in einer positiven R{\"u}ckkopplungsschleife die Expression der PGE2-synthetisierenden Enzyme. Andererseits hemmte PGE2 die basale und LPS-vermittelte Bildung des potenten pro-inflammatorischen Cytokins Tumornekrosefaktor α (TNFα) und kann so die Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion abschw{\"a}chen. In prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte und humanen Hepatozyten beeintr{\"a}chtigte PGE2 direkt die Insulin-abh{\"a}ngige Aktivierung der Insulinrezeptor-Signalkette zur Steigerung der Glucose-Verwertung, in dem es durch Signalketten, die den verschiedenen PGE2-Rezeptoren nachgeschaltet sind, Kinasen wie ERK1/2 und IKKβ aktivierte und eine inhibierende Serin-Phosphorylierung der Insulinrezeptorsubstrate bewirkte. PGE2 verst{\"a}rkte außerdem die IL-6- oder OSM-vermittelte Insulinresistenz und Steatose in prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte. Die Wirkung von PGE2 im Gesamtorganismus sollte in M{\"a}usen mit Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH untersucht werden. Die F{\"u}tterung einer Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit Schmalz als Fettquelle, das vor allem ges{\"a}ttigte Fetts{\"a}uren enth{\"a}lt, verursachte Fettleibigkeit, Insulinresistenz und eine hepatische Steatose in Wildtyp-M{\"a}usen. In Tieren, die eine Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit Soja{\"o}l als Fettquelle, das vor allem (ω-6)-mehrfach-unges{\"a}ttigte Fetts{\"a}uren (PUFAs) enth{\"a}lt, oder eine Niedrigfett-Di{\"a}t mit Cholesterol erhielten, war lediglich eine hepatische Steatose nachweisbar, jedoch keine verst{\"a}rkte Gewichtszunahme im Vergleich zu Geschwistertieren, die eine Standard-Di{\"a}t bekamen. Im Gegensatz dazu verursachte die F{\"u}tterung einer Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit PUFA-reichem Soja{\"o}l als Fettquelle in Kombination mit Cholesterol sowohl Fettleibigkeit und Insulinresistenz als auch hepatische Steatose mit Hepatozyten-Hypertrophie, lobul{\"a}rer Entz{\"u}ndung und beginnender Fibrose in Wildtyp-M{\"a}usen. Diese Tiere spiegelten alle klinischen und histologischen Parameter der humanen NASH im Metabolischen Syndrom wider. Nur die Kombination von hohen Mengen unges{\"a}ttigter Fetts{\"a}uren aus Soja{\"o}l und Cholesterol in der Nahrung f{\"u}hrte zu einer exzessiven Akkumulation des Cholesterols und der Bildung von Cholesterol-Kristallen in den Hepatozyten, die zur Sch{\"a}digung der Mitochondrien, schwerem oxidativem Stress und schließlich zum Absterben der Zellen f{\"u}hrten. Als Konsequenz phagozytieren Kupfferzellen die Zelltr{\"u}mmer der Cholesterol-{\"u}berladenen Hepatozyten, werden dadurch aktiviert, setzen Chemokine, Cytokine und PGE2 frei, die die Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion verst{\"a}rken und die Infiltration von weiteren Immunzellen initiieren k{\"o}nnen und verursachen so eine Progression zur Steatohepatitis (NASH). Die Deletion der mikrosomalen PGE-Synthase 1 (mPGES1), dem induzierbaren Enzym der PGE2-Synthese aus Cyclooxygenase-abh{\"a}ngigen Vorstufen, reduzierte die Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngige Bildung von PGE2 in der Leber. Die F{\"u}tterung der NASH-induzierenden Di{\"a}t verursachte in Wildtyp- und mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen eine {\"a}hnliche Fettleibigkeit und Zunahme der Fettmasse sowie die Ausbildung von hepatischer Steatose mit Entz{\"u}ndung und Fibrose (NASH) im histologischen Bild. In mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen waren jedoch Parameter f{\"u}r die Infiltration von Entz{\"u}ndungszellen und die Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngige Sch{\"a}digung der Leber im Vergleich zu Wildtyp-Tieren erh{\"o}ht, was sich auch in einer st{\"a}rkeren Di{\"a}t-induzierten systemischen Insulinresistenz widerspiegelte. Die Bildung des pro-inflammatorischen und pro-apoptotischen Cytokins TNFα war in mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen durch die Aufhebung der negativen R{\"u}ckkopplungshemmung verst{\"a}rkt, was einen gesteigerten Di{\"a}t-induzierten Zelluntergang gestresster Lipid-{\"u}berladener Hepatozyten und eine nach-geschaltete Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort zur Folge hatte. Zusammenfassend wurde unter den gew{\"a}hlten Versuchsbedingungen in vivo eine anti-inflammatorische Rolle von PGE2 verifiziert, da das Prostanoid vor allem indirekt durch die Hemmung der TNFα-vermittelten Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion die Sch{\"a}digung der Leber, die Verst{\"a}rkung der Entz{\"u}ndung und die Ausbildung von Insulinresistenz im Rahmen der Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngigen Fettlebererkrankung abschw{\"a}chte.},

  abstract  = {Physical activity is an important contributor to muscle adaptation and metabolic health. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is established as cellular and nutritional stress-induced cytokine but its physiological role in response to active lifestyle or acute exercise is unknown. Here, we investigated the metabolic phenotype and circulating GDF15 levels in lean and obese male C57BI/6J mice with long-term voluntary wheel running (VWR) intervention. Additionally, treadmill running capacity and exercise-induced muscle gene expression was examined in GDF15-ablated mice. Active lifestyle mimic via VWR improved treadmill running performance and, in obese mice, also metabolic phenotype. The post-exercise induction of skeletal muscle transcriptional stress markers was reduced by VWR. Skeletal muscle GDF15 gene expression was very low and only transiently increased post-exercise in sedentary but not in active mice. Plasma GDF15 levels were only marginally affected by chronic or acute exercise. In obese mice, VWR reduced GDF15 gene expression in different tissues but did not reverse elevated plasma GDF15. Genetic ablation of GDF15 had no effect on exercise performance but augmented the post exercise expression of transcriptional exercise stress markers (Atf3, Atf6, and Xbp1s) in skeletal muscle. We conclude that skeletal muscle does not contribute to circulating GDF15 in mice, but muscle GDF15 might play a protective role in the exercise stress response.},
