While exercise is vital for T2DM management and significantly affects cellular ageing markers, its effect on β-cell senescence remains unexplored. Here, we show that short-term endurance exercise training (treadmill running, 1 h per day for 10 days) in two male and female mouse models of insulin resistance decreases β-cell senescence. In vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that this effect is mediated, at least in part, by training-induced increases in serum glucagon, leading to activation of 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling in β-cells. AMPK activation resulted in the nuclear translocation of NRF2 and decreased expression of senescence markers and effectors. Remarkably, human islets from male and female donors with T2DM treated with serum collected after a 10-week endurance exercise training programme showed a significant decrease in the levels of senescence markers. These findings indicate that exercise training decreases senescence in pancreatic islets, offering promising therapeutic implications for T2DM. Exercise training decreases pancreatic islet senescence through glucagon and AMPK signalling in mouse and human islets, which could have implications for T2DM therapeutics.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 10","pages":"1976-1990"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142313708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In healthy people, a fall in plasma glucose stimulates glucagon release and thereby increases counter-regulatory hepatic glucose production. This response is absent in many patients with type-1 diabetes (T1D)<sup>2</sup>, which predisposes to severe hypoglycaemia that may be fatal and accounts for up to 10% of the mortality in patients with T1D<sup>3</sup>. In rats with chemically induced or autoimmune diabetes, counter-regulatory glucagon secretion can be restored by SSTR antagonists<sup>4,5,6,7</sup> but both the underlying cellular mechanism and whether it can be extended to humans remain unestablished. Here, we show that glucagon secretion is not stimulated by low glucose in isolated human islets from donors with T1D, a defect recapitulated in non-obese diabetic mice with T1D. This occurs because of hypersecretion of somatostatin, leading to aberrant paracrine inhibition of glucagon secretion. Normally, K<sub>ATP</sub> channel-dependent hyperpolarization of β-cells at low glucose extends into the δ-cells through gap junctions, culminating in suppression of action potential firing and inhibition of somatostatin secretion. This ‘electric brake’ is lost following autoimmune destruction of the β-cells, resulting in impaired counter-regulation. This scenario accounts for the clinical observation that residual β-cell function correlates with reduced hypoglycaemia risk<sup>8</sup>.</p>","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142276825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In energy-demanding tissues like the brain, HK1 is the dominant isoform, primarily localized on mitochondria, and is crucial for efficient glycolysis–oxidative phosphorylation coupling and optimal energy generation. This study unveils a unique mechanism regulating HK1 activity, glycolysis and the dynamics of mitochondrial coupling, mediated by the metabolic sensor enzyme O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT catalyses reversible O-GlcNAcylation, a post-translational modification influenced by glucose flux. Elevated OGT activity induces dynamic O-GlcNAcylation of the regulatory domain of HK1, subsequently promoting the assembly of the glycolytic metabolon on the outer mitochondrial membrane. This modification enhances the mitochondrial association with HK1, orchestrating glycolytic and mitochondrial ATP production. Mutation in HK1’s O-GlcNAcylation site reduces ATP generation in multiple cell types, specifically affecting metabolic efficiency in neurons. This study reveals a previously unappreciated pathway that links neuronal metabolism and mitochondrial function through OGT and the formation of the glycolytic metabolon, providing potential strategies for tackling metabolic and neurological disorders. Wang et al. show how glucose sensing via O-GlcNAcylation drives the assembly of a glycolytic metabolon on the mitochondrial surface to couple metabolic efficiency with neuronal activity.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 9","pages":"1712-1735"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142166288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We included male and female participants who were regular exercisers with overweight or obesity who exercised for >2 years, and cross-sectionally compared them with well-matched non-exercisers with overweight or obesity. Here we show aSAT from exercisers has a higher capillary density, lower Col6a abundance and fewer macrophages compared with non-exercisers. This is accompanied by a greater abundance of angiogenic, ribosomal, mitochondrial and lipogenic proteins. The abundance of phosphoproteins involved in protein translation, lipogenesis and direct regulation of transcripts is also greater in aSAT collected from exercisers. Exploratory ex vivo experiments demonstrate greater angiogenic capacity and higher lipid-storage capacity in samples cultured from aSAT collected from exercisers versus non-exercisers. Regular exercise may play a role in remodelling aSAT structure and proteomic profile in ways that may contribute to preserved cardiometabolic health.
