Study TitleMetabolomic analysis on samples from rats expressing human amylin (cardiac tissue).
Study SummaryHuman amylin proteotoxicity impairs protein biosynthesis, and alters major cellular signaling pathways in the heart, brain and liver of humanized diabetic rat model in vivo. The 37 amino acid hormone Amylin is co­secreted with insulin from ß cells in the pancreas. In pre­diabetic and obese humans, chronic amylin hypersecretion parallels the course of disease and is involved in the pathophysiology of beta cell destruction in the pancreas. Recent studies in rats with transgenic expression of beta cell amylin (HIP), we have discovered that human amylin is prone to misfolding and has proteotoxic effects in vivo, resulting in the induction of cell death paralleling the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disease. These misfolded proteotoxic amylin proteins are found to migrate to both the brain and heart to induce both neurologic deficits and cardiac dysfunction. In the present study, we use non­targeted GC­MS metabolomics analysis to investigate the metabolic consequences of amyloidogenic and cytotoxic amylin oligomers and diabetes in HIP heart, brain, liver, and plasma compared to wild type controls at 1 year of age. We identified that HIP hearts had 45 significantly altered metabolites by t­test (p<0.05) compared to wildtype control hearts (0.1­34.3 fold different,N=8/group). Similarly, we identified 30 metabolites significantly different in the HIP brain by t­test (p<0.05) compared to wildtype control brains (0.2­25.2 fold different (N=~10/group). HIP livers had 58 metabolites significantly altered by t­test (p<0.05) compared to wildtype livers (0.01­99.4 fold different,N=~10/group. Pathway enrichment analysis identified a systemic alteration in protein biosynthesis in the heart and brain of HIP rats compared to wild type controls. Alterations in phenylalanine metabolism and aminoacyl­tRNA biosynthesis were specifically affected in heart and plasma. Tyrosine metabolism is affected across organs, including decreased tyrosine (heart), phenylalanine (heart, liver, brain), and increased fumarate (heart, liver, brain). Increased urea and urea cycle were identified in heart and liver. As protein degradation is a major up­regulator of the urea cycle in human rat diabetic models, these findings suggest a broader connection between amylin, diabetes, protein catabolism, and effects on the urea cycle, which may contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality in diabetics at a multi­system level beyond the effects on glucose metabolism.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO000361
Collection Summary:Cardiac tissue was harvested amd then flash frozen in a liquid nitrogen cooled biopress
Sample Type:Muscle

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR000381
Treatment Summary:Fraction of cardiac tissue weighed (25–50 mg wet weight), then the finely cut up tissue quickly added to fresh pre-made buffer (50 % acetyl-nitrile, 50 % water, 0.3% formic acid) at a standard concentration of 25 mg/475 mcl buffer then fully homogenized on ice for 10–25 s and placed on dry ice/stored at - 80C

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP000374
Sampleprep Summary:The samples were crash deprotonized by methanol precipitation and spiked with D27-deuterated myristic acid (D27-C14:0) as an internal standard for retention-time locking and dried. The trimethylsilyl-D27-C14:0 standard retention time (RT) was set at 16.727 min. Reactive carbonyls were stabilized at 50C with methoxyamine hydrochloride in dry pyridine. Metabolites were made volatile with TMS groups using N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide or MSTFA with catalytic trimethylchlorosilane at 50C.

Chromatography:

Chromatography ID:CH000400
Chromatography Summary:GC/MS methods follow previous studies using a 6890 N GC connected to a 5975 Inert single quadrupole MS (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) (Bonikos et al. 1975; Fiehn 2008; Kind et al. 2009). The two wall-coated, open-tubular GC columns connected in series are both from J&W/Agilent (part 122–5512), DB5-MS, 15 meters in length, 0.25 mm in diameter, with an 0.25-l m luminal film. Positive ions generated with conventional electron-ionization at 70 eV are scanned broadly from 600 to 50 m/z in the detector throughout the 45 min cycle time.
