Omics-based label-free metabolic flux inference reveals dysregulation of glucose metabolism in liver associated with obesity

Glucose homeostasis is maintained by modulation of metabolic flux. Enzymes and metabolites regulate the involved metabolic pathways. Dysregulation of glucose homeostasis is a pathological event in obesity. Analyzing metabolic pathways and the mechanisms contributing to obesity-associated dysregulation in vivo is challenging. Here, we introduce OMELET: Omics-Based Metabolic Flux Estimation without Labeling for Extended Trans-omic Analysis. OMELET uses metabolomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic data to identify changes in metabolic flux, and to quantify contributions of metabolites, enzymes, and transcripts to the changes in metabolic flux. By evaluating the livers of fasting ob/ob mice, we found that increased metabolic flux through gluconeogenesis resulted primarily from increased transcripts, whereas that through the pyruvate cycle resulted from both increased transcripts and changes in substrates of metabolic enzymes. With OMELET, we identified mechanisms underlying the obesity-associated dysregulation of metabolic flux in liver. HighlightsO_LIWe created OMELET to infer metabolic flux and its regulation from multi-omic data. C_LIO_LIGluconeogenic and pyruvate cycle fluxes increased in fasting ob/ob mice. C_LIO_LITranscripts increases mediated the increase in gluconeogenic fluxes in ob/ob mice. C_LIO_LIIncreases in transcripts and substrates enhanced pyruvate cycle flux in ob/ob mice. C_LI

Trans-omic analysis reveals fed and fasting insulin signal across phosphoproteome, transcriptome, and metabolome

The concentration and temporal pattern of insulin selectively regulate multiple cellular functions. To understand how insulin dynamics are interpreted by cells, we constructed a trans-omic network of insulin action in FAO hepatoma cells from three networks--a phosphorylation-dependent cellular functions regulatory network using phosphoproteomic data, a transcriptional regulatory network using phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic data, and a metabolism regulatory network using phosphoproteomic and metabolomic data. With the trans-omic regulatory network, we identified selective regulatory networks that mediate differential responses to insulin. Akt and Erk, hub molecules of insulin signaling, encode information of a wide dynamic range of dose and time of insulin. Down-regulated genes and metabolites in glycolysis had high sensitivity to insulin (fasting insulin signal); up-regulated genes and dicarboxylic acids in the TCA cycle had low sensitivity (fed insulin signal). This integrated analysis enables molecular insight into how cells interpret physiologically fed and fasting insulin signals.\n\nHighlightsO_LIWe constructed a trans-omic network of insulin action using multi-omic data.\nC_LIO_LIThe trans-omic network integrates phosphorylation, transcription, and metabolism.\nC_LIO_LIWe classified signaling, transcriptome, and metabolome by sensitivity to insulin.\nC_LIO_LIWe identified fed and fasting insulin signal flow across the trans-omic network.\nC_LI
