Abstract

19

Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is reported to increase the risk of cognitive

20

impairment and dementia. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Whilst the

21

brain homeostasis of metals and lipids are pivotal to maintaining energy metabolism and redox

22

homeostasis for healthy brain function, no studies to date report hippocampal metal and biochemical

23

changes in NIDDM. Therefore, we here utilized direct spectroscopic imaging to reveal the elemental

24

distribution within the hippocampal subregions of an established murine model of NIDDM, db/db mice.

25

In 26-week old insulin resistant db/db mice, X-ray fluorescent microscopy revealed that Cu content

26

within the dentate gyrus and CA3 was significantly greater compared to the age-matched non-diabetic

27

control mice. In addition, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis indicated significant

28

elevation in the lactate abundance within corpus callosum (CC), dentate gyrus (DG), CA1, and CA3

29

regions of diabetic db/db mice compared to the control, indicating altered energy metabolism. FTIR

30

analysis also showed significant reduction of lipid methylene, and ester within CC of db/db mice.

31

Furthermore, immunomicroscopy analyses demonstrated trending increase in glial fibrillary acidic

32

protein expression and peri-vascular extravasation of IgG, indicating astrogliosis and blood-brain barrier

33

dysfunction, respectively. These data suggest that astrogliosis-induced alterations in the supply of Cu,

34

lipids and energy substrates may potentially be involved in the mechanisms of NIDDM-associated

35

cognitive decline.

Introduction

40

Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is an established risk factor for cognitive impairment

41

and dementia including Alzheimer’s disease (2, 3). Cross-sectional studies reported that subjects with

42

NIDDM have significantly lowered cognitive performance compared to age-matched healthy control

43

subjects (4). In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses of subjects with well-controlled

44

NIDDM revealed marked reduction in cerebral white matter (5). Murine models of diabetic insulin

45

resistance also demonstrated substantial neurodegeneration and cognitive decline (3). However, the

46

mechanisms by which NIDDM induces neuronal atrophy and cognitive dysfunction have not been fully

47

elucidated.

48

Emerging evidence suggest that biochemical and elemental dyshomeostasis in the brain may facilitate

49

oxidative stress through Fe and Cu redox cycling and neuroinflammation, which triggers or exacerbates

50

neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. There is increasing interest in the field of neuroscience to

51

research the roles of metal ions, which may influence neuronal function (6). Zn and Cu are reported to

52

be involved in neuro-signalling (6-9), whilst a direct neuron-signalling role for Fe has not been proposed.

53

The ions of Fe, Cu and Zn are demonstrated to influence and modulate neuronal function through other

54

pathways, including free-radical driven redox changes (Fe and Cu), RNA binding, and modulation of

55

neurotransmitter synthesis via acting is key enzyme co-factors (10). An accumulation of Fe and Cu ions

56

in the brain is reported to catalyze free radical production via Fenton chemistry, mediating lipid

57

oxidation and protein aggregation (10, 11). Indeed, altered abundance of redox-associated metals

58

including Cu and Fe are commonly reported in the brains of neurodegenerative disorders such as

59

Alzheimer’s disease (12). Furthermore, altered mitochondrial energy metabolism and lipid homeostasis,

60

which is intrinsically linked to homeostasis of the ions of Fe, Cu, and Zn, is also demonstrated in the

brains of Alzheimer’s disease (13). However, to date, no studies have investigated the elemental and

62

metabolic homeostasis in the brains of NIDDM.

63

The association between elemental homeostasis and biochemical markers of lipid homeostasis or

64

metabolism is difficult to study with standard biochemical assays or histochemical analyses. We have

65

previously applied a multimodal spectroscopic imaging approach to reveal association between

66

biochemical and elemental alterations in the hippocampus of an accelerated ageing murine model,

67

which build on previous work to characterise the baseline elemental composition of the rodent

68

hippocampus (1, 14). Others have used a similar strategy to study the link of metal homeostasis or ionic

69

disturbance with protein aggregation (15-19). Therefore, in order to identify potential mechanisms of

70

cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in NIDDM, here we utilized the similar multimodal

71

spectroscopic imaging techniques with synchrotron X-ray fluorescent microscopy (XFM) and Fourier

72

transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for the first time to analyse biochemical and elemental

73

distribution within the hippocampal subregions at meso-/micro-spatial resolution in one of the most

74

widely utilized pre-clinical NIDDM model.

Results and Discussion

77

The mean plasma concentration of glucose in db/db mice at 26 weeks of age was 26.652.06 mmol/L,

78

which was significantly higher than the age-matched non-diabetic control mice (Table 1). Furthermore,

79

plasma levels of insulin in db/db mice was over 10-fold higher than the control mice. Similarly, HOMA-

80

IR index was significantly greater in db/db mice compared to the control, confirming that the db/db

81

mice were severely diabetic.
