The adipose tissue extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates adipocyte cellular metabolism and is altered in obesity and type 2 diabetes, but mechanisms underlying ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk are poorly defined. Advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation is increased in diabetes. AGE alter tissue function via direct effects on ECM and by binding scavenger receptors on multiple cell types and signaling through Rho GTPases. Our goal was to determine the role and underlying mechanisms of AGE in regulating human ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk. Visceral adipocytes from diabetic and non-diabetic humans with obesity were studied in 2D and 3D-ECM culture systems. AGE is increased in adipose tissue from diabetic compared to non-diabetic subjects. Glycated collagen 1 and AGE-modified ECM regulate adipocyte glucose uptake and expression of AGE scavenger receptors and Rho signaling mediators, including the DIAPH1 gene, which encodes the human Diaphanous 1 protein (hDia1). Notably, inhibition of hDia1, but not scavenger receptors RAGE or CD36, attenuated AGE-ECM inhibition of adipocyte glucose uptake. These data demonstrate that AGE-modification of ECM contributes to adipocyte insulin resistance in human diabetes, and implicate hDia1 as a potential mediator of AGE-ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk.

Purpose: The aggressive nature of a tumor is presumably its inherent one, but different environmental cues can manipulate it in many ways. In this context, the influence of metabolic stresses on tumor behavior needs to be analyzed to understand their far-reaching implications on tumor aggression and dormancy. This work investigates different facets of the tumor, such as tumorigenic capacity, tumor phenotype, and migration, under multiple metabolic stress conditions.

The "gut-liver axis" is critical for the control of hepatic lipid homeostasis, where the intestine affects the liver through multiple pathways, such as nutrient uptake, gastrointestinal hormone release, and gut microbiota homeostasis. Whether intestine-originated exosomes mediate the gut's influence on liver steatosis remains unknown. Here, we aimed to determine whether intestinal epithelium-derived exosomes (intExos) contribute to the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

Macrophages are widely distributed in various metabolic tissues/organs and play an essential role in the immune regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Macrophages have two major functions: adaptive defenses against invading pathogens by triggering inflammatory cytokine release and eliminating damaged/dead cells via phagocytosis to constrain inflammation. The pro-inflammatory role of macrophages in insulin resistance and related metabolic diseases is well established, but much less is known about the phagocytotic function of macrophages in metabolism.

Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins, which function partly through MYC proto-oncogene (MYC), are critical epigenetic readers and emerging therapeutic targets in cancer. Whether and how BET inhibition simultaneously induces metabolic remodeling in cancer cells remains unclear. Here we find that even transient BET inhibition by JQ-1 and other pan-BET inhibitors (pan-BETis) blunts liver cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth.

Skeletal muscle plays a vital role in the regulation of systemic metabolism, partly through its secretion of endocrine factors which are collectively known as myokines. Altered myokine levels are associated with metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). The significance of interorgan crosstalk, particularly through myokines, has emerged as a fundamental aspect of nutrient and energy homeostasis.
