Insulin Signaling Pathway

Insulin resistance is defined as a complex pathological condition of abnormal cellular and metabolic response to insulin. Obesity and consumption of high-fat diet lead to ectopic accumulation of bioactive lipids in insulin-sensitive tissues. Intracellular lipid accumulation is regarded as one of the major factors in the induction of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). A significant number of studies have described the involvement of ceramides and other sphingolipids in the inhibition of insulin-signaling pathway in both skeletal muscles and the liver. Adverse effects of sphingolipid accumulation have recently been linked to the activation of protein kinase Cζ (PKCζ) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which, in turn, negatively affect phosphorylation of serine/threonine kinase Akt [also known as protein kinase B (PKB)], leading to decreased glucose uptake in skeletal muscles as well as increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver. Sphingolipids, in addition to their direct impact on the insulin signaling pathway, may be responsible for other negative aspects of diabetes, namely mitochondrial dysfunction and deficiency. Mitochondrial health, which is characterized by appropriate mitochondrial quantity, oxidative capacity, controlled oxidative stress, undisturbed respiratory chain function, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and mitochondrial proliferation through fission and fusion, is impaired in the skeletal muscles and liver of T2D subjects. Recent findings suggest that impaired mitochondrial function may play a key role in the development of insulin resistance. Mitochondria stay in contact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi membranes and mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM) that are the main places of sphingolipid synthesis. Moreover, mitochondria are capable of synthesizing ceramide though ceramide synthase (CerS) activity. Recently, ceramides have been demonstrated to negatively affect mitochondrial respiratory chain function and fission/fusion activity, which is also a hallmark of T2D. Despite a significant correlation between sphingolipids, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance and T2D, this subject has not received much attention compared to the direct effect of sphingolipids on the insulin signaling pathway. In this review, we focus on the current state of scientific knowledge regarding the involvement of sphingolipids in the induction of insulin resistance by inhibiting mitochondrial function.

Progressive Disease

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease that is characterized by the appearance of insulin resistance. The term insulin resistance is very wide and could affect different proteins involved in insulin signaling, as well as other mechanisms. In this review, we have analyzed the main molecular mechanisms that could be involved in the connection between type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration, in general, and more specifically with the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease. We have studied, in more detail, the different processes involved, such as inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Small Pilot Study

The epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important global health concern. Our earlier epidemiological investigation in Pakistan prompted us to conduct a molecular investigation to decipher the differential genetic pathways of this health condition in relation to non-diabetic controls. Our microarray studies of global gene expression were conducted on the Affymetrix platform using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array along with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to associate the affected genes with their canonical pathways. High-throughput qRT-PCR TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA) was performed to validate the selected differentially expressed genes of our interest, viz., ARNT, LEPR, MYC, RRAD, CYP2D6, TP53, APOC1, APOC2, CYP1B1, SLC2A13, and SLC33A1 using a small population validation sample (n = 15 cases and their corresponding matched controls). Overall, our small pilot study revealed a discrete gene expression profile in cases compared to controls. The disease pathways included: Insulin Receptor Signaling, Type II Diabetes Mellitus Signaling, Apoptosis Signaling, Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling, p53 Signaling, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Signaling, Parkinson’s Signaling, Molecular Mechanism of Cancer, and Cell Cycle G1/S Checkpoint Regulation, GABA Receptor Signaling, Neuroinflammation Signaling Pathway, Dopamine Receptor Signaling, Sirtuin Signaling Pathway, Oxidative Phosphorylation, LXR/RXR Activation, and Mitochondrial Dysfunction, strongly consistent with the evidence from epidemiological studies. These gene fingerprints could lead to the development of biomarkers for the identification of subgroups at high risk for future disease well ahead of time, before the actual disease becomes visible.
