DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of disorders that includes obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, non- alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance, all of which predispose to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological and clinical data indicate that increased sugar, and particularly fructose, ingestion is a major contributor to the development of the metabolic syndrome and progression to diabetes. The mechanisms by which fructose consumption causes metabolic dysfunction remain elusive. Carbohydrate Responsive-Element Binding Protein (ChREBP) is a master transcriptional regulator of glycolytic and lipogenic gene programs which is activated by products of carbohydrate metabolism. SNPs in the ChREBP locus identified in genome-wide association studies predict features of the metabolic syndrome in human populations. We recently discovered a novel, potent constitutively active isoform of ChREBP, ChREBP-beta. In vivo, ChREBP-beta expression is acutely and robustly increased by fructose ingestion, but only modestly by glucose ingestion. Mice with whole-body genetic deletion of ChREBP die within several days of high-fructose feeding. In this proposal, we will pursue an integrative physiological approach to determine the role of ChREBP in fructose-induced metabolic disturbances. We hypothesize that ChREBP, and particularly ChREBP-beta, is a key regulatory element that is required for the normal adaptive metabolic response to fructose ingestion and also contributes to the development of metabolic disease and diabetes when sugar is consumed in excess. Using a combination of genetic and dietary interventions in mouse models, we will evaluate the role of ChREBP in integrated fuel homeostasis by pursuing the following three aims. In Aim 1, using tissue-specific, loss-of-function mouse models, we will explore the physiologic and cellular mechanisms by which the absence of ChREBP impairs integrated fuel homeostasis and causes fructose intolerance. In Aim 2, using a ChREBP gain-of-function mouse model combined with diets of different carbohydrate content and composition, we will explore a novel concept that the effects of ChREBP activity on integrated fuel homeostasis and insulin sensitivity depend on the nutritional context. In Aim 3, we will develop a novel, ChREBP-beta isoform specific conditional loss-of-function mouse model to begin to determine the physiological significance of the distinct ChREBP isoforms in relation to integrated fuel metabolism and fructose induced metabolic disease. We anticipate that these studies will provide fundamental insight into mechanisms of fructose-induced metabolic disease and lay the groundwork for novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes.

描述（由申请人提供）：代谢综合征是一组疾病，包括肥胖、血脂异常、高血压、非酒精性脂肪肝疾病和胰岛素抵抗，所有这些疾病都易导致糖尿病和心血管疾病的发展。流行病学和临床数据表明，糖，特别是果糖的摄入量增加是代谢综合征发展和糖尿病进展的主要因素。果糖消耗导致代谢功能障碍的机制仍然难以捉摸。碳水化合物反应元件结合蛋白（Carbohydrate Responsive-Element Binding Protein，ChREBP）是糖酵解和脂肪生成基因程序的主要转录调节因子，其被碳水化合物代谢产物激活。全基因组关联研究中ChREBP位点的SNPs可预测人群中代谢综合征的特征我们最近发现了一种新的，有效的组成型活性异构体的ChREBP，ChREBP-beta。在体内，ChREBP-β的表达是急性和强劲增加果糖摄入，但只有适度的葡萄糖摄入。全身缺失ChREBP基因的小鼠在高果糖喂养的几天内死亡。在这个建议中，我们将追求一个综合的生理方法来确定的作用ChREBP果糖诱导的代谢紊乱。我们假设ChREBP，特别是ChREBP-beta，是果糖摄入正常适应性代谢反应所需的关键调节元件，并且当糖摄入过量时，也有助于代谢疾病和糖尿病的发展。在小鼠模型中使用遗传和饮食干预的组合，我们将通过追求以下三个目标来评估ChREBP在综合燃料稳态中的作用。在目标1中，使用组织特异性的功能丧失小鼠模型，我们将探索ChREBP的缺乏损害综合燃料稳态并导致果糖不耐受的生理和细胞机制。在目标2中，使用ChREBP功能获得性小鼠模型结合不同碳水化合物含量和组成的饮食，我们将探索一个新的概念，即ChREBP活性对综合燃料稳态和胰岛素敏感性的影响取决于营养环境。在目标3中，我们将开发一种新的ChREBP-β同种型特异性条件性功能丧失小鼠模型，以开始确定不同ChREBP同种型与综合燃料代谢和果糖诱导的代谢疾病相关的生理学意义。我们预计这些研究将为果糖诱导的代谢疾病的机制提供基本的见解，并为预防和治疗肥胖和糖尿病的新策略奠定基础。
