Copyright American Diabetes Association, Inc., 2009 Mitochondrial proteomes in diabetes Objective: To elucidate the molecular basis for mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Research Design and Methods: Mitochondrial matrix and membrane fractions were generated from liver, brain, heart, and kidney of wildtype and type 1 diabetic Akita mice. Comparative proteomics was performed using label-free proteome expression analysis. Mitochondrial state 3 respirations and ATP synthesis were measured, and mitochondrial morphology was evaluated by electron microscopy. Expression of genes that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, substrate utilization and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) were determined. Results: In diabetic mice, fatty acid oxidation (FAO) proteins were less abundant in liver mitochondria, whereas in mitochondria from all other tissues FAO protein content was induced. Kidney mitochondria showed coordinate induction of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes, whereas TCA cycle proteins were repressed in cardiac mitochondria. Levels of OXPHOS subunits were coordinately increased in liver mitochondria, whereas mitochondria of other tissues were unaffected. Mitochondrial respiration, ATP synthesis, and morphology were unaffected in liver and kidney mitochondria. In contrast, state 3 respirations, ATP synthesis, and mitochondrial cristae density were decreased in cardiac mitochondria and were accompanied by coordinate repression of OXPHOS and PGC-1α transcripts. Conclusions: Type 1 diabetes causes tissue-specific remodeling of the mitochondrial proteome. Preservation of mitochondrial function in kidney, brain and liver, versus mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart, supports a central role for mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy. 2 Mitochondrial proteomes in diabetes ype 1 diabetes reduces lifespan subunits in myocardium of streptozotocin- in affected humans, mainly induced diabetic rats. However, many T because of complications such mitochondrial proteins remained undetected as cardiovascular disease and diabetic in these studies due to the methodological nephropathy (1; 2). Substrate utilization is limitations of gel-based comparative altered in several diabetic tissues. For proteomics. Recently, Johnson et al. used a example, myocardial fatty acid oxidation semi-quantitative LC-MS approach to (FAO) and hepatic gluconeogenesis are investigate whole cell protein expression increased (3; 4). Changes in metabolite or changes in liver and heart tissue of type 1 hormone concentrations, such as reduced diabetic BB-DP rats. They reported 365 insulin and increased glucagon levels, may significantly regulated hepatic proteins in alter energy metabolism in diabetes. diabetic animals, a subset of which were Moreover, activation of signaling cascades, mitochondrial proteins. While the data set was such as the PGC-1α signaling pathway, may used to generate hypotheses about diabetes- in turn modulate gene expression of induced changes in liver metabolism, OXPHOS proteins and enzymes of energy metabolic flux rates were not determined and substrate metabolism (4-7). Several groups patterns of protein expression were not have investigated mitochondrial function in compared between tissues (16). To our type 1 diabetic tissues, reporting knowledge, no studies have systematically mitochondrial oxidative stress and investigated differences in the mitochondrial impairment of mitochondrial respiration and proteome across tissues in type 1 diabetes and OXPHOS complex activities in various related these to changes in mitochondrial tissues (3; 5; 8-11). However, the molecular function. basis for the impairment in diabetes remains The hypothesis for this study is that incompletely understood. mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to Gene expression profiling studies in diabetic complications, and that diabetes liver and kidney tissue of type 1 diabetic induces tissue-independent proteomic changes rodents reveal significant associations in mitochondria, thereby compromising between diabetes and changes in gene mitochondrial function. Thus we examined expression (12; 13). Microarray analyses of tissues in wild type (WT) and type 1 diabetic cardiac tissue from streptozotocin-induced Akita mice (Akita), which are known targets diabetic rats found 13% of 1,614 regulated of diabetes complications, namely cardiac, genes encoding for mitochondrial proteins. Of renal, and brain tissue. Liver mitochondria note, expression of genes encoding FAO were also examined to determine if changes in proteins were increased (14). Shen et al. mitochondrial function and proteins were identified 20 significantly regulated uniform across multiple tissues. Akita mice myocardial proteins in type 1 diabetic OVE26 are a genetic model of type 1 diabetes that mice using 2-dimensional (2D) gel circumvents potential extra-pancreatic toxic electrophoresis, 12 of which were identified effects of streptozotocin and still develop as mitochondrial proteins (11). Turko et al. many typical diabetic complications (17; 18). identified 30 regulated mitochondrial proteins To increase protein coverage beyond gel- when assessing cardiac mitochondrial based approaches, we fractionated proteins alone (15). They also observed mitochondria into matrix and membrane increased mitochondrial FAO proteins and fractions and analyzed the protein reduced content of a few OXPHOS protein composition directly using protein expression 3 Mitochondrial proteomes in diabetes analysis (PE) with liquid chromatography, triphosphate (ATP), and 2.5U/ml protease tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
