סיכום

Irisin, a novel myokine, is secreted by the muscle following proteolytic cleavage of fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5) and is considered a novel regulator of glucose homeostasis. Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) produces hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and is involved in glucose homeostasis. We examined the hypothesis that H₂S deficiency leads to decreased FNDC5 and irisin secretion, and thereby alters glucose metabolism. High-fat diet-fed mice exhibited elevated blood glucose and significantly reduced levels of CSE, H₂S, and PGC-1α, with decreased FNDC5/irisin levels and increased oxidative stress in the muscle compared with those of normal diet-fed mice (control). High glucose or palmitate decreases CSE/PGC-1α/FNDC5 levels and glucose uptake in myotubes. Inhibitors (propargylglycine and aminooxyacetate) of H₂S producing enzymes or CSE siRNA significantly decreased levels of H₂S and FNDC5 along with PGC-1α; similar H₂S-deficient conditions also resulted in decreased GLUT4 and glucose uptake. The levels of H₂S, PGC-1α, and FNDC5 and glucose uptake were significantly upregulated after treatment with <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-cysteine or an H₂S donor. Myoblast differentiation showed upregulation of PGC-1α and FNDC5, which was consistent with the increased expression of CSE/H₂S. These findings suggest that the upregulation of H₂S levels can have beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis via activation of the PGC-1α/FNDC5/irisin signaling pathway.
