Abstract
TGR5, a G protein–coupled bile acid receptor, is expressed in various tissues and regulates several physiological processes. In the skeletal muscle, TGR5 activation is known to induce muscle hypertrophy; however, the effects on glucose and lipid metabolism are not well understood, despite the fact that the skeletal muscle plays a major role in energy metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that skeletal muscle–specific TGR5 transgenic (Tg) mice exhibit increased glucose utilization, without altering the expression of major genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism. Metabolite profiling analysis by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry showed that glycolytic flux was activated in the skeletal muscle of Tg mice, leading to an increase in glucose utilization. Upon long-term, high-fat diet challenge, blood glucose clearance was improved in Tg mice without an accompanying increase in insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and a reduction of body weight. Moreover, Tg mice showed improved age-associated glucose intolerance. These results strongly suggest that TGR5 ameliorated glucose metabolism disorder that is caused by diet-induced obesity and aging by enhancing the glucose metabolic capacity of the skeletal muscle. Our study demonstrates that TGR5 activation in the skeletal muscle is effective in improving glucose metabolism and may be beneficial in developing a novel strategy for the prevention or treatment of hyperglycemia.

Bile acids, the primary component of bile, are released from the gallbladder after meals to promote the absorption of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. Almost 95% of bile acids are reabsorbed in the ileum and transported back to the liver through the portal blood and recycled. Therefore, the concentration of blood bile acids temporarily reaches high levels in the postprandial state (1Schalm S.W. LaRusso N.F. Hofmann A.F. Hoffman N.E. van Berge-Henegouwen G.P. Korman M.G.

Assessment by specific radioimmunoassays for conjugates of cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid.Gut. 1978; 19: 1006-1014Crossref PubMed Scopus (63) Google Scholar). Interestingly, blood bile acids have been reported to function as metabolic regulators by activating several bile acid receptors. TGR5 (also known as G protein–coupled bile acid receptor 1) is a G protein–coupled receptor that exists in the plasma membrane and recognizes bile acid as its ligand (2Maruyama T. Miyamoto Y. Nakamura T. Tamai Y. Okada H. Sugiyama E. Itadani H. Tanaka K. Identification of membrane-type receptor for bile acids (M-BAR).Biochem. Biophys. Res.

Ligand-bound TGR5 interacts with Gαs subunit and then activates the cAMP signaling pathway. TGR5 is expressed in various tissues, such as brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT), and intestinal L cells. In BAT and WAT, TGR5 promotes energy expenditure, causing the amelioration of obesity (4Watanabe M. Houten S.M. Mataki C. Christoffolete M.A. Kim B.W. Sato H. Messaddeq N. Harney J.W. Ezaki O.

Commun. 2005; 329: 386-390Crossref PubMed Scopus (567) Google Scholar). TGR5 is also expressed in the skeletal muscle, and its expression is increased by exercise (9Sasaki T. Kuboyama A. Mita M. Murata S. Shimizu M. Inoue J. Mori K. Sato R. The exercise-inducible bile acid receptor Tgr5 improves skeletal muscle function in mice.J. Biol. Chem. 2018; 293: 10322-10332Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google Scholar). We have previously demonstrated that TGR5 activation induces muscle cell differentiation in cultured muscle cells and muscle hypertrophy in mice (9Sasaki T. Kuboyama A. Mita M. Murata S. Shimizu M.

Because skeletal muscle–specific TGR5 overexpression increases muscle strength, TGR5 may be a feasible target for maintaining muscle function. In fact, several compounds possessing TGR5 agonistic activity, such as citrus limonoid nomilin and obacunone, have antiobesity, antidiabetic, and muscle hypertrophy effects (10Ono E. Inoue J. Hashidume T. Shimizu M. Sato R. Anti-obesity and anti-hyperglycemic effects of the dietary citrus limonoid nomilin in mice fed a high-fat diet.Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2011; 410: 677-681Crossref PubMed Scopus (73) Google Scholar, 11Sasaki T. Mita M. Ikari N. Kuboyama A. Hashimoto S. Kaneko T. Ishiguro M. Shimizu M. Inoue J. Sato R.

Commun. 2015; 463: 846-852Crossref PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar). As the skeletal muscle is not only central to the locomotor system but also the largest glucose-metabolizing organ, a higher muscle mass is associated with better glycemic control (13Srikanthan P. Karlamangla A.S. Relative muscle mass is inversely associated with insulin resistance and prediabetes. Findings from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2011; 96: 2898-2903Crossref PubMed Scopus (478) Google Scholar). However, a lower skeletal muscle mass is significantly associated with type 2 diabetes (14Han T.S. Al-Gindan Y.Y. Govan L. Hankey C.R. Lean M.E.J. Associations of BMI, waist circumference, body fat, and skeletal muscle with type 2 diabetes in adults.Acta Diabetol. 2019; 56: 947-954Crossref PubMed Scopus (33) Google Scholar), suggesting that increasing the skeletal muscle mass is effective in improving diabetes. Therefore, it could be expected that TGR5 activation in the skeletal muscle improves glucose metabolism by inducing muscle hypertrophy, although this has not been verified till date. In this study, we evaluated the effects of muscle TGR5 on energy metabolism using skeletal muscle–specific hTGR5 Tg mice. Interestingly, skeletal muscle–specific overexpression of TGR5 induced an increase in the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) along with the activation of glycolytic flux in the skeletal muscle. As anticipated from these results and the fact that TGR5 induces muscle hypertrophy, Tg mice exhibited better glucose clearance under long-term high-fat diet challenge, was of in muscle insulin We also that Tg mice showed in glucose intolerance. study that muscle TGR5 activation to improving glucose by increasing muscle mass and glucose and may be beneficial in developing a novel strategy for the prevention or treatment of hyperglycemia caused by obesity and the of muscle TGR5 on energy we muscle and the expression of several genes related to glucose and lipid metabolism and Tg mice.
