The study found that LAT1 is the primary transporter of BCAA in skeletal muscle, and JPH203 (JPH) is its inhibitor. The results showed that treatment with 1μM JPH increased mitochondrial metabolism and content, and reduced extracellular leucine and valine. However, treatment with 2μM JPH suppressed insulin signaling and increased extracellular accumulation of isoleucine without affecting BCAA metabolic genes.
Population data have shown an association between higher circulating branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and the severity of insulin resistance in people with diabetes. While several studies have assessed BCAA metabolism as a potential target for regulation, less attention has been paid to the role of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), the primary transporter of BCAA in skeletal muscle. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of JPH203 (JPH), a LAT1 inhibitor, on myotube metabolism in both insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant myotubes. C2C12 myotubes were treated with or without 1 & mu;M or 2 & mu;M JPH for 24 h with or without insulin resistance. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to assess protein content and gene expression, respectively. Mitochondrial and glycolytic metabolism were measured via Seahorse Assay, and fluorescent staining was used to measure mitochondrial content. BCAA media content was quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. JPH at 1 & mu;M (but not 2 & mu;M) increased mitochondrial metabolism and content without inducing changes in mRNA expression of transcripts associated with mitochondrial biogenesis or mitochondrial dynamics. Along with increased mitochondrial function, 1 & mu;M treatment also reduced extracellular leucine and valine. JPH at 2 & mu;M reduced pAkt signaling and increased extracellular accumulation of isoleucine without inducing changes in BCAA metabolic genes. Collectively, JPH may increase mitochondrial function independent of the mitochondrial biogenic transcription pathway; however, high doses may reduce insulin signaling.
