Mis-adaptations may lead to seasonal patterns in several psychiatric disorders, but we know little regarding the underlying mechanisms. Our previous work identified two variants in the human circadian clock gene PERIOD3 (PER3), that is, P415A and H417R, which are associated with winter depression, but whether and how these variants lead to the disorder remain to be characterized. Here we find that male mice carrying human P415A and H417R display winter depression-like behaviours that are caused by the actions of P415A and H417R in the adrenal gland. Systemic corticosterone level is downregulated in adaptation to shortening of day length, while P415A and H417R eliminate this downregulation by increasing corticosterone synthesis. Enhanced glucocorticoid signalling represses the transcription of Tph2, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin synthesis, leading to increased depression-like behaviours. Taken together, our findings unveil a mechanism according to which human variants contribute to seasonal mood traits. The authors show how genetic variants of the human circadian clock gene PER3 are related to winter depression. In mice, under shorter light exposure, such variants enhance glucocorticoid signalling, inhibiting serotonin production and leading to depression-like behaviours.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 12","pages":"2267-2280"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597982","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}

Here we show that capillaries in the diabetic mouse brain in both sexes are prone to stalling, with blocks consisting primarily of erythrocytes in branches off ascending venules. Screening for circulating inflammatory cytokines revealed persistently high levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in diabetic mice. Contrary to expectation, stimulating IL-10 signalling increased capillary obstruction, whereas inhibiting IL-10 receptors with neutralizing antibodies or endothelial specific knockdown in diabetic mice reversed these impairments. Chronic treatment of diabetic mice with IL-10 receptor neutralizing antibodies improved cerebral blood flow, increased capillary flux and diameter, downregulated haemostasis and cell adhesion-related gene expression, and reversed cognitive deficits. These data suggest that IL-10 signalling has an unexpected pathogenic role in cerebral microcirculatory defects and cognitive impairment associated with type 1 diabetes. Interleukin-10 promotes the formation of microcirculatory defects in the brain associated with cognitive impairment in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 11","pages":"2082-2099"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01159-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we show the metabolic consequences of this variant in four female and four male homozygous carriers and matched controls. An extended glucose tolerance test reveals prolonged hyperglycaemia followed by reactive hypoglycaemia in the carriers. Whole-body glucose disposal is impaired during euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp conditions and associates with severe insulin resistance in skeletal muscle only. Notably, a marked reduction in muscle glucose transporter GLUT4 and associated proteins is observed. While metabolic regulation during exercise remains normal, the insulin-sensitizing effect of a single exercise bout is compromised. Thus, loss of the muscle-specific isoform of TBC1D4 causes severe skeletal muscle insulin resistance without baseline hyperinsulinaemia. However, physical activity can ameliorate this condition. These observations offer avenues for personalized interventions and targeted preventive strategies. In Greenlandic Inuit, a TBC1D4 loss-of-function mutation increases type 2 diabetes risk by tenfold. Carriers show severe muscle insulin resistance, impaired glucose disposal and reduced muscle GLUT4, yet exercise mitigates these defects, offering potential for personalized lifestyle interventions.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 12","pages":"2254-2266"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01153-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the mechanisms and biological consequences of aerobic HIF1α activation by intrinsic factors, particularly in normal (primary) cells, remain elusive. Here we show that HIF1α signalling is activated in several human primary vascular cells in normoxia and in vascular smooth muscle cells of normal human lungs. Mechanistically, aerobic HIF1α activation is mediated by paracrine secretion of three branched-chain α-ketoacids (BCKAs), which suppress PHD2 activity via direct inhibition and via LDHA-mediated generation of L-2-hydroxyglutarate. BCKA-mediated HIF1α signalling activation stimulated glycolytic activity and governed a phenotypic switch of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, which correlated with BCKA metabolic dysregulation and pathophenotypic changes in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients and male rat models. We thus identify BCKAs as previously unrecognized signalling metabolites that aerobically activate HIF1α and that the BCKA–HIF1α pathway modulates vascular smooth muscle cell function, an effect that may be relevant to pulmonary vascular pathobiology. Branched-chain α-ketoacids are shown to aerobically activate HIF1α signalling, which induces a phenotypic switch in vascular smooth muscle cells that is potentially relevant in the context of pulmonary artery hypertension.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 11","pages":"2138-2156"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142536716","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 Huntington’s disease (HD), hyperdopaminergia—probably triggered by the dysfunction of the most affected neurons, indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs)—is believed to induce hyperkinesia, an early stage HD symptom. However, how this change arises and contributes to HD pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that genetic disruption of iSPNs function by Ntrk2/Trkb deletion in mice results in increased striatal dopamine and midbrain dopaminergic neurons, preceding hyperkinetic dysfunction. Transcriptomic analysis of iSPNs at the pre-symptomatic stage showed de-regulation of metabolic pathways, including upregulation of Gsto2, encoding glutathione S-transferase omega-2 (GSTO2). Selectively reducing Gsto2 in iSPNs in vivo effectively prevented dopaminergic dysfunction and halted the onset and progression of hyperkinetic symptoms. This study uncovers a functional link between altered iSPN BDNF-TrkB signalling, glutathione–ascorbate metabolism and hyperdopaminergic state, underscoring the vital role of GSTO2 in maintaining dopamine balance.
