Title in Portuguese
Peptídeos intracelulares na obesidade e resistência à insulina
Keywords in Portuguese
Espectrometria de massas
Insulina (resistência)
Obesidade
Peptídeos
Tecido adiposo
Abstract in Portuguese
A hipótese de que peptídeos gerados como produtos de proteólise intracelular poderiam modular cascatas de sinalização, foi originalmente proposto pelo nosso grupo. Um estudo realizado por Heimann et al. (2005) mostrou que camundongos geneticamente modificados e submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica, apresentavam uma diferença no conteúdo intracelular de peptídeos e uma melhora da resistência à insulina. Neste trabalho, investigamos o conteúdo peptídico intracelular do tecido adiposo de animais que desenvolveram obesidade e resistência à insulina, após serem submetidos à dieta cafeteria. Duas sequências peptídicas apresentaram 100% de aumento no tecido adiposo de animais submetidos à dieta cafeteria, em relação aos controles, tendo sido analisadas por ensaios de cinética enzimática, captação de glicose, western blot e cromatografia de afinidade. Os resultados obtidos corroboram os dados de Heimann et al. (2005) de que peptídeos intracelulares podem estar envolvidos na resistência à insulina, modulando o transporte de glicose no tecido adiposo.

Abstract in English
The hypothesis that peptides generated as degradation products of intracellular proteolyses could modulate signaling pathways, was originally proposed by our group. A study by Heimann et al. (2005) showed that mice genetically modified and fed with high-fat diet, showed a difference in intracellular content of peptides and an improvement of insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the intracellular peptide content from adipose tissue of animals that developed obesity and insulin resistance after being treated with the Western diet. Two peptide sequences showed 100% increase in adipose tissue of animals submitted to the Western diet compared to controls, and were analyzed by enzymatic assays, glucose uptake, western blot and affinity chromatography. Altogether, these results corroborate previous suggestions that intracellular peptides may be involved in insulin resistance, modulating glucose transport in adipose tissue.
