Hydrogen Sulfide Regulates Irisin and Glucose Metabolism in Myotubes and Muscle of HFD-Fed Diabetic Mice
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 (H<sub>2</sub>S) and is involved in gluc...

Summary: | 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 (H<sub>2</sub>S) and is involved in glucose homeostasis. We examined the hypothesis that H<sub>2</sub>S 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, H<sub>2</sub>S, 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 H<sub>2</sub>S producing enzymes or CSE siRNA significantly decreased levels of H<sub>2</sub>S and FNDC5 along with PGC-1α; similar H<sub>2</sub>S-deficient conditions also resulted in decreased GLUT4 and glucose uptake. The levels of H<sub>2</sub>S, PGC-1α, and FNDC5 and glucose uptake were significantly upregulated after treatment with <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">l</span>-cysteine or an H<sub>2</sub>S donor. Myoblast differentiation showed upregulation of PGC-1α and FNDC5, which was consistent with the increased expression of CSE/H<sub>2</sub>S. These findings suggest that the upregulation of H<sub>2</sub>S levels can have beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis via activation of the PGC-1α/FNDC5/irisin signaling pathway. |
