R
MAKE THE INITIAL RNA
PROCESS TO mRNA
THIS PAPER LOOKED PRIMARILY AT THE SYNTHESIS OF RNAFROM SEVERAL GENES: PDK4 WAS VERY IMPORTANT
But what controls that? Regulatory proteins (called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS) have to bind to the promoter, to start production of the RNA transcript.
![Page 4: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY DO WE NEED TO ACTIVATE PDK-4?
YOUR FASTING BLOOD SUGAR IS TYPICALLY
ABOUT 80-100 mg/100 ml (when you wake up).
If your blood sugar is 80 (or higher) after 6 hours of
sleep, and no food intake, where it that coming from?
The brain and kidneys use about 10 grams/hour.
There is about 20 grams in blood and extracellular
fluid, that would be used up over 2 hours.
WHERE DID THAT GLUCOSE COME FROM?
![Page 5: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
IN THE MORNING, AFTER AN OVERNIGHT FAST,
METABOLIC ADAPTATIONS ARE NEEDED TO
MAINTAIN A NORMAL LEVEL OF BLOOD GLUCOSE
Since you (or your ancestors!) needed to be alert and
start foraging for food, good levels of blood sugar
were really important in the morning.
HOW DO WE CHANGE OUR METABOLISM, TO
KEEP BLOOD SUGAR AT A NORMAL LEVEL?

Block PDH!
If we can stop pyruvate fromentering the TCA cycle,it can be shunted towardgluconeogenesis instead.
Other amino acids feed theTCA at different points: buttheir carbon skeletons canalso be used for theproduction of glucose.
During the fasted state, weneed to generate about80 grams of glucose.

Most of these steps arereversible. An importantDIFFERENT step is theconversion of pyruvate backto phosphoenolpyruvate.

PDK-4 IS A MAJOR ENZYME THATINACTIVATES THE PDH COMPLEX.This prevents Acetyl-CoA from beingused for ATP. Metabolite flow cannow be reversed toward glucose.

WHERE DOES OUR MORNING GLUCOSE COME FROM?
Some of the glucose comes from stored glycogen.
In the morning, there is also a CORTISOL BURST, which causes muscle to release 30 grams of amino acids.
In the muscle, various rearrangements occur.Much of the amino acid from muscle is convertedto ALANINE for export.
CH3
+H3N-C-COO-
The alanine, with other amino acids, travels to the liver.
![Page 16: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alanine in the liver is deaminated to pyruvate.
What can now be done with pyruvate?
![Page 17: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HOW CAN CHANGES IN THESE PATHWAYS
BE STUDIED IN HUMAN VOLUNTEERS?
![Page 18: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The changes in gene expression that we reviewtoday can happen after a standard overnight fast..
If you don’t eat between 10 PM and 6 AM, thesechanges are very likely to occur.
The chief issue that needs to be addressed is theneed to maintain blood glucose in the morning.For alertness (you don’t want to become a mealfor a roving predator!) you want to keep your bloodglucose around 80-90 in the morning.
That helps your brain function, since the brain normallygets all its energy from glucose.
![Page 19: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nine healthy male subjects ranging in age from 22 to 28 years, with an average height of 185 cm (range 175–192) and a mean weight of 81 kgm (range 65–110) participated in the study. The subjects were habitually physically active and maintained their normal activity pattern between the two trials.
The subjects were given both oral and written information about the experimental procedures before they gave their informed consent. The study was approved by the Copenhagen and Frederiksberg Ethics Committee (Denmark) and the Human Investigations Committee (Yale University).
Experimental design. The subjects completed two trials (separated by 2–3 weeks), each consisting of 20 h of fasting followed by intake of a standardized refeeding meal, which in one trial was a carbohydrate-rich meal (CHO trial) and in the other a low-carbohydrate/high-fat meal (FAT trial).
![Page 20: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Muscle biopsies were obtained from the middle portion of the vastus lateralis muscle using the percutaneous needle biopsy technique with suction:
- 3 h after a light standardized meal (control)
- after 20 h of fasting
- 1 h after finishing the refeeding meal.
FOR STUDIES OF METABOLISM IN HUMANS,
BLOOD SAMPLES AND MUSCLE BIOPSIES
ARE THE USUAL LIMITS.

We need to consider just which genes they examined. These genes play a role in the catabolism of fat for energy, since they produce the following proteins: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) allows the cell to oxidize circulating triglycerides, thereby obtaining free fatty acids for energy. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1) helps move fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are degraded for energy during beta-oxidation. Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) catalyzes a step in the beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) suppresses pyruvate dehydrogenase, and blocks the routing of glucose into the citric acid cycle: this conserves glucose for other tasks.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) acts to convert triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids, which are then transported into the cell.

The promoter for human PDK-4 contains a binding site for the Glucocorticoid Response Element (GRE), a transcription factor activated by cortisol.
Since cortisol is activated in the AM, after an overnight fast, cortisol plays a part in activation of PDK-4 expression. Other details of PDK-4 activation will be discussed.

FASTING LED TO A SUSTAINED TRANSCRIPTION OF THE GENES IN MUSCLE FOR:
PDK4
Lipoprotein lipase
This is consistent with the switchto burning fatty acids forenergy in muscle
The CONTINUED increase afterrefeeding is not yet explained!

THE AUTHORS EXAMINED GENE EXPRESSION ATTWO LEVELS:
-primary transcript (the RNA that was read directly off the DNA)
-the mRNA (the complete RNA after processing, when it was prepared to be read into protein)
-later this semester, we have further discussionof how the RNA was measured
![Page 32: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THE INCREASE IN MUSCLE PDK-4 AND LPL WAS MUCH GREATER FOR TWO SUBJECTS,#7 and #9.
These two probably did abetter job of switching overto oxidizing fat in musclefor energy, after a fast.
HOW COULD WE LOOK ATTHAT AMONG OURSELVES,WITHOUT TAKING AMUSCLE BIOPSY?

LEVELS OF mRNA SHOWED SAME DIRECTION AS CHANGES IN PRIMARY TRANSCRIPT, BUT EFFECTS WERE LESS DRAMATIC
![Page 35: Changes in Gene Expression During the Fasted State Effect of Short-Term Fasting and Refeeding on Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolic Genes in Human.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e845503460f94b866b2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Pilegaard study adds to our knowledge of how fasting changes the physiology of energy metabolismin skeletal muscle, including changes in gene expression in muscle.
Carbohydrate intake blunts these effects, and actually moves the dynamic toward MAKING fat instead of BURNING fat. We will discuss that inpart 2 of today’s lecture.
