Previously, we found that α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) stimulates muscle hypertrophy and fat loss through 2-oxoglutarate receptor 1 (OXGR1). Here, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of AKG on glucose homeostasis in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model, which are independent of OXGR1. We also showed that AKG effectively decreased blood glucose and hepatic gluconeogenesis in DIO mice. By using transcriptomic and liver-specific deletion mouse model, we further demonstrated that liver is required for the inhibitory effects of AKG on hepatic gluconeogenesis. Mechanistically, we supported that extracellular AKG binds with a purinergic receptor, P2RX4, to initiate the solute carrier family 25 member 11 (SLC25A11)-dependent nucleus translocation of intracellular AKG and subsequently induces demethylation of lysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27) in the promoter region to decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis. Collectively, these findings reveal an unexpected mechanism for control of hepatic gluconeogenesis using circulating AKG as a signal molecule.
先前,我们发现 α-酮戊二酸(AKG)通过 2-氧戊二酸受体 1(OXGR1)刺激肌肉肥大和脂肪减少。在这里,我们证明了 AKG 在饮食诱导肥胖(DIO)小鼠模型中对葡萄糖稳态的有益作用,这与 OXGR1 无关。我们还表明,AKG 可有效降低 DIO 小鼠的血糖和肝糖异生。通过使用转录组学和肝脏特异性缺失小鼠模型,我们进一步证明了肝脏是 AKG 抑制肝糖异生作用所必需的。从机制上讲,我们支持细胞外 AKG 与嘌呤能受体 P2RX4 结合,启动细胞内 AKG 的溶质载体家族 25 成员 11(SLC25A11)依赖性核易位,并随后诱导组蛋白 3(H3K27)上赖氨酸 27 的去甲基化在启动子区域减少肝糖异生。总之,这些发现揭示了一种使用循环 AKG 作为信号分子控制肝糖异生的意外机制。
