Adaptations to excess choline in insulin resistant and Pcyt2 deficient skeletal muscle.
Biochemistry and Cell Biology 2017 April
It was hypothesized that choline supplementation in insulin resistant (IR) CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase deficient (Pcyt2+/- ) mice would ameliorate muscle function by remodeling glucose and fatty acid (FA) metabolism. Pcyt2+/- mice either received no treatment or were allowed access to 2 mg/mL choline in drinking water for 4 weeks. Skeletal muscle was harvested from choline treated and untreated mice. Lipid analysis and metabolic gene expression and signaling pathways were compared between untreated Pcyt2+/- mice, treated Pcyt2+/- mice, and Pcyt2+/+ mice. The major positive effect of choline supplementation on IR muscle was the reduction of glucose utilization for FA and triglyceride (TAG) synthesis and increased muscle glucose storage as glycogen. Choline reduced the expression of genes for FA and TAG formation (Scd1, Fas, Srebp1c, Dgat1/2), upregulated the genes for FA oxidation (Cpt1, Pparα, Pgc1α), and had minor effects on phospholipid and lipolysis genes. Pcyt2+/- muscle had reduced insulin signaling (IRS1), autophagy (LC3), and choline transport (CTL1) proteins that were restored by choline treatment. Additionally, choline activated AMPK and Akt while inhibiting mTORC1 phosphorylation. These data established that choline supplementation could restore muscle glucose metabolism by reducing lipogenesis and improving mitochondrial and intracellular signaling for protein and energy metabolism in insulin resistant Pcyt2 deficient mice.
