Background: Dietary intake and metabolism variations are associated with molecular changes and more particularly in the transcriptome. O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification added and removed respectively by OGT and OGA. The UDP-GlcNAc, the substrate of OGT, is produced by UAP1 and UAP1L1. O-GlcNAcylation is qualified as a metabolic sensor and is involved in the modulation of gene expression. We wanted to unveil if O-GlcNAcylation is linking metabolic transition to transcriptomic changes and to highlight modifications of O-GlcNAcylation during the postnatal cardiac development.
Methods: Hearts were harvested from rats at birth (D0), before (D12) and after suckling to weaning transition with normal (D28) or delayed weaning diet from D12 to D28 (D28F). O-GlcNAcylation levels and proteins expression were evaluated by Western blot. Cardiac transcriptomes were evaluated via 3'SRP analysis.
Results: Cardiac O-GlcNAcylation levels and nucleocytoplasmic OGT (ncOGT) were decreased at D28 while full length OGA (OGA) was increased. O-GlcNAcylation levels did not changed with delayed weaning diet while ncOGT and OGA were respectively increased and decreased. was the only O-GlcNAcylation-related gene identified as differentially expressed throughout postnatal development.
Conclusion: Macronutrients switch promotes changes in the transcriptome landscape that are independent from O-GlcNAcylation levels. UAP1 and UAP1L1 are not the main regulator element of O-GlcNAcylation throughout postnatal development.

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo metabolic pathway transitions, including aerobic glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and amino acid metabolism, which are important for their function. Metabolic dysfunction in VSMCs can lead to age-related vascular diseases. -GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-dependent posttranslational modification linked specifically to glucose metabolism, plays an important role in this context.

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT)-catalyzed O-linked N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is closely associated with diabetes progression. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of OGT in regulating endothelial dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Expressions of OGT, O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), and HEK27me3 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and GDM-derived HUVECs (GDM-HUVECs) were assessed by western blot.

Article Synopsis
- O-GlcNAcylation is a modification that adds a sugar molecule, N-acetylglucosamine, to specific amino acids, influencing signaling pathways important for pyroptosis, a form of cell death.
- Enhancing O-GlcNAcylation of the protein GSDMD is suggested as a key strategy for improving blood flow issues in sepsis, while GSDME's role in macrophage pyroptosis is linked to high glucose levels in periodontitis.
- The review discusses O-GlcNAcylation's impact on the NLRP3 inflammasome and other regulators, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases like sepsis and osteoarthritis by managing inflammation.
