    Insulin Signalling in Human Adipocytes and its Interplay with beta-Adrenergic Control of Lipolysis2018Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    The prevalence of obesity has over the last 40 years nearly tripled and obesity is one of the major risk factors of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes was formerly called adultonset diabetes but today, probably due to the rise in childhood obesity, it is also seen in children and adolescents. Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when the body no longer can control the glucose levels in the blood. This is due to an insulin resistant state in the insulin responding tissues, liver, adipose and muscle and insufficient production of insulin in the pancreas. However, in spite of extensive research the mechanisms behind insulin resistance is still not known.

    The adipose tissue is believed to play a major role in the development of whole body insulin resistance. Adipocytes are the most important sites for storage of the high energy containing triacylglycerols. Insulin stimulation causes the adipocyte to increase the uptake of glucose and to reduce lipolysis: the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol and release of glycerol and fatty acids. The insulin signalling network is complex with numerous proteins involved. These signaling proteins not only transmit the insulin signal but also create negative and positive feedbackloops and induce cross talk between different parts of the network and with the signalling of other hormones. One important positive feedback in insulin signalling is the mTORC1 mediated feedback to phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine 307. In paper I we found that in human adipocytes this feedback is not likely catalysed by the assumed kinase S6K1. However we find an immunoprecipitate of mTOR to contain a ser307 phosphorylating kinase.

    Scaffolding proteins serve as docking sites for several proteins to promote protein-protein interactions that facilitate signal transduction. In paper II we demonstrate the existence of the scaffolding protein IQGAP1 in human adipocytes and that the expression of IQGAP1 is downregulated in type 2 diabetes. We reveal that IQGAP1 co-localises with caveolae, invaginations of the plasma membrane where the insulin receptor is situated, and that this interaction is increased upon insulin stimulation.

    In paper III we focus on the control of lipolysis, and sought to understand the interplay between insulin and beta-adrenergic stimulation. We demonstrated that the re-esterification of fatty acids is downregulated in type 2 diabetes causing an increased release of fatty acids from the cells. We showed that beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol induced a negative feedback via PKA/Epac1 -> PI3K -> PKB -> PDE3B that reduced the cAMP levels and thereby also reduced lipolysis. We also showed that insulin, in addition to its well-known anti-lipolytic effect, at high concentrations had a positive effect on lipolysis. In conclusion we reveal an intricate control of the stimulation as well as the inhibition of lipolysis induced by both isoproterenol and insulin.

    Abstract [en]

    The insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) is phosphorylated on serine 307 (human sequence, corresponding to murine serine 302) in response to insulin as part of a feedback loop that controls IRS1 phosphorylation on tyrosine residues by the insulin receptor. This in turn directly affects downstream signaling and is in human adipocytes implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The phosphorylation is inhibited by rapamycin, a specific inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in complex with raptor (mTORC1). The mTORC1-downstream p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1), which is activated by insulin, can phosphorylate IRS1 at serine 307 in vitro and is considered the physiological protein kinase. Because the IRS1 serine 307-kinase catalyzes a critical step in the control of insulin signaling and constitutes a potential target for treatment of insulin resistance, it is important to know whether S6K1 is the physiological serine 307-kinase or not. We report that, by several criteria, S6K1 does not phosphorylate IRS1 at serine 307 in response to insulin in intact human primary adipocytes: (i) The time-courses for phosphorylation of S6K1 and its phosphorylation of S6 are not compatible with the phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine 307; (ii) A dominant-negative construct of S6K1 inhibits the phosphorylation of S6, without effect on the phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine 307; (iii) The specific inhibitor of S6K1 PF-4708671 inhibits the phosphorylation of S6, without effect on phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine 307. mTOR-immunoprecipitates from insulin-stimulated adipocytes contains an unidentified protein kinase specific for phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine 307, but it is not mTOR or S6K1.

    Abstract [en]

    The ubiquitously expressed IQ motif-containing GTPase activating protein-1 (IQGAP1) is a scaffolding protein implicated in an array of cellular functions, in particular by binding to cytoskeletal elements and signaling proteins. A role of IQGAP1 in adipocytes has not been reported. We therefore investigated the cellular IQGAP1 interactome in primary human adipocytes. Immunoprecipitation and quantitative mass spectrometry identified caveolae and caveolae-associated proteins as the major IQGAP1 interactors alongside cytoskeletal proteins. We confirmed co-localization of IQGAP1 with the defining caveolar marker protein caveolin-1 by confocal microscopy and proximity ligation assay. Most interestingly, insulin enhanced the number of IQGAP1 interactions with caveolin-1 by five-fold. Moreover, we found a significantly reduced abundance of IQGAP1 in adipocytes from patients with type 2 diabetes compared with cells from nondiabetic control subjects. Both the abundance of IQGAP1 protein and mRNA were reduced, indicating a transcriptional defect in diabetes. Our findings suggest a novel role of IQGAP1 in insulin-regulated interaction between caveolae and cytoskeletal elements of the adipocyte, and that this is quelled in the diabetic state.

    A systems biology analysis of lipolysis and fatty acid release from adipocytes in vitro and from adipose tissue in vivo2021In: PLOS ONE, E-ISSN 1932-6203, Vol. 16, no 12, article id e0261681Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Lipolysis and the release of fatty acids to supply energy fuel to other organs, such as between meals, during exercise, and starvation, are fundamental functions of the adipose tissue. The intracellular lipolytic pathway in adipocytes is activated by adrenaline and noradrenaline, and inhibited by insulin. Circulating fatty acids are elevated in type 2 diabetic individuals. The mechanisms behind this elevation are not fully known, and to increase the knowledge a link between the systemic circulation and intracellular lipolysis is key. However, data on lipolysis and knowledge from in vitro systems have not been linked to corresponding in vivo data and knowledge in vivo. Here, we use mathematical modelling to provide such a link. We examine mechanisms of insulin action by combining in vivo and in vitro data into an integrated mathematical model that can explain all data. Furthermore, the model can describe independent data not used for training the model. We show the usefulness of the model by simulating new and more challenging experimental setups in silico, e.g. the extracellular concentration of fatty acids during an insulin clamp, and the difference in such simulations between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. Our work provides a new platform for model-based analysis of adipose tissue lipolysis, under both non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic conditions.

    A comprehensive mechanistic model of adipocyte signaling with layers of confidence2022Manuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Adipocyte cellular signaling, normally and in type 2 diabetes, is far from fully studied. We have earlier developed detailed dynamic mathematical models for some well-studied, and partially overlapping, signaling pathways in adipocytes. Still, these models only cover a fraction of the total cellular response. For a broader coverage of the response, large-scale phosphoproteomic data is key. There exists such data for the insulin response of adipocytes, as well as prior knowledge on possible protein-protein interactions associated with a confidence level. However, methods to combine detailed dynamic models with large-scale data, using information about the confidence of included interactions, are lacking. In our new method, we first establish a core model by connecting our partially overlapping models of adipocyte cellular signaling with focus on: 1) lipolysis and fatty acid release, 2) glucose uptake, and 3) the release of adiponectin. We use the phosphoproteome data and prior knowledge to identify phosphosites adjacent to the core model, and then try to add the adjacent phosphosites to the model. The additions of the adjacent phosphosites is tested in a parallel, pairwise approach with low computation time. We then iteratively collect the accepted additions into a layer, and use the newly added layer to find new adjacent phosphosites. We find that the first 15 layers (60 added phosphosites) with the highest confidence can correctly predict independent inhibitor-data (70-90 % correct), and that this ability decrease when we add layers of decreasing confidence. In total, 60 layers (3926 phosphosites) can be added to the model and still keep predictive ability. Finally, we use the comprehensive adipocyte model to simulate systems-wide alterations in adipocytes in type 2 diabetes. This new method provide a tool to create large models that keeps track of varying confidence.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.

    Fetal hepatic expression of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein is confined to colonizing hematopoietic cells2009In: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, ISSN 0006-291X, E-ISSN 1090-2104, Vol. 383, no 3, p. 336-339Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Leukotriene C-4 is a potent inflammatory mediator formed from arachidonic acid and glutathione. 5-Lipoxygenase (540), 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) and leukotriene C-4 synthase (LTC4S) participate in its biosynthesis. We report evidence from in situ hybridization experiments that FLAP mRNA is abundantly expressed in fetal mouse liver from e11.5 until delivery. In contrast very little or no FLAP mRNA was detected in adult liver. The fetal expression in liver was not uniform but occurred in patches. Cells from e15.5 livers were fractionated by fluorescence activated cell sorting into hepatocytes and other CD45(-) cells and CD45(+) hematopoietic cells. The latter were further separated into immature (Lin(-)) and mature (Lin(+)) cells and analyzed for FLAP mRNA content by quantitative RT-PCR. FLAP mRNA expression was confined to CD45(+) cells and the mature cells had approximately 4-fold higher FLAP mRNA levels compared to the immature cells.

    Expression of leukotriene biosynthesis proteins in fetal and adult hematopoietic cells and its functional effects on hematopoiesisManuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Leukotrienes (LT) are potent pro-inflammatory mediators formed from arachidonic acid (AA) in reactions catalyzed by 5-lipoxygenase and either leukotriene A4 hydrolase or leukotriene C4 synthase. 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) is also required. We have previously reported expression of FLAP in the hematopoietic compartment of the fetal liver raising questions regarding the role of leukotrienes in hematopoietic regulation. Here we report evidence from in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR experiments that the complete LT biosynthesis machinery is abundantly expressed in hematopoietic cells of the fetal mouse liver from e11.5 until birth. FACS sorting of hematopoietic cells from e15.5 liver and adult bone marrow into different subpopulations followed by quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that expression was confined mainly to myeloid cells but also detected in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Analysis of FLAP knockout mice showed that a lack of this gene abolished LT and reduced 5(S)- hydroxyeicosa-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraenoic acid (HETE) production. Furthermore,  decreased relative numbers of B-lymphocytes and increased numbers of T-lymphocytes were observed in peripheral blood and increased numbers of common lymphoid progenitor cells were observed in BM. Taken together these findings suggest that production of LTs can occur in cells of the fetal and adult hematopoietic compartments and that deficiency of the FLAP gene (and leukotrienes) may affect lymphocyte maturation.
