Abstract
Background
Acarbose, as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, is widely used clinically to treat type II diabetes. In its industrial production, Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 is used as the production strain. Lack of research on its regulatory mechanisms and unexplored gene targets are major obstacles to rational strain design. Here, transcriptome sequencing was applied to uncover more gene targets and rational genetic engineering was performed to increase acarbose production.
Results
In this study, with the help of transcriptome information, a TetR family regulator (TetR1) was identified and confirmed to have a positive effect on the synthesis of acarbose by promoting the expression of acbB and acbD. Some genes with low expression levels in the acarbose biosynthesis gene cluster were overexpressed and this resulted in a significant increase in acarbose yield. In addition, the regulation of metabolic pathways was performed to retain more glucose-1-phosphate for acarbose synthesis by weakening the glycogen synthesis pathway and strengthening the glycogen degradation pathway. Eventually, with a combination of multiple strategies and fed-batch fermentation, the yield of acarbose in the engineered strain increased 58% compared to the parent strain, reaching 8.04 g/L, which is the highest fermentation titer reported.
Conclusions
In our research, acarbose production had been effectively and steadily improved through genetic engineering based on transcriptome analysis and fed-batch culture strategy.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:659700.

Abstract
Acarbose is an effective anti-diabetic drug to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a chronic degenerative metabolic disease caused by insulin resistance. The beneficial effects of acarbose on blood sugar control in T2DM patients have been confirmed by many studies. However, the effect of acarbose on patient kidney has yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we report in detail the gene expression cascade shift, pathway and module enrichment, and interrelation network in acarbose-treated Rattus norvegicus kidneys based on the in-depth analysis of the GSE59913 microarray dataset. The significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the kidneys of acarbose-treated rats were initially screened out by comparative analysis. The enriched pathways for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were further identified. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis for DEGs was achieved through the STRING database mining. Pathway interrelation and hub genes for enriched pathways were further examined to uncover key biological effects of acarbose. Results revealed 44 significantly up-regulated genes and 86 significantly down-regulated genes (130 significant differential genes in total) in acarbose-treated rat kidneys. Lipid metabolism pathways were considerably improved by acarbose, and the physical conditions in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients were improved possibly through the increase of the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) by lecithin-cholesterol acyl-transferase (LCAT). These findings suggested that acarbose may serve as an ideal drug for CKD patients, since it not only protects the kidney, but also may relieve the complications caused by CKD.

J Proteomics 2021; 239:104193. [PMID: 33757877 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2021.104193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Comparative proteomes of Actinoplanes utahensis ZJB-03852 grown on various saccharides (glucose, maltotriose, maltose, glucose + maltose) were analyzed using 2D-DIGE and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. Acarbose was detected in all groups except in the glucose only culture. The abundance of acarbose synthesis proteins AcbV, AcbK, AcbL and AcbN was highest in the medium containing mixed glucose and maltose. The accumulation of Zwf and Xpk1 in acarbose-producing media indicated that the cyclitol moiety of acarbose was derived from pentose phosphate pathway. The elevation of GlnA supported that glutamine was a good nitrogen source of the nitrogen-atom in acarbose synthesis. SIGNIFICANCE: Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, also known as Type II diabetes, constitutes >90% of the diabetes mellitus worldwide. Acarbose is clinically utilized to treat Type II diabetes, but the fermentation process of acarbose-producing Actinoplanes is usually accompanied with structural analogues of acarbose. In this study, we compared the proteomics of Actinoplanes utahensis ZJB-03852 grown on various saccharides by 2D-DIGE and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. Our findings highlighted the importance of key proteins in the formation of acarbose and its analogues when A. utahensis was cultivated in various saccharides. These results revealed fundamental data to elucidate the complexity of formation of acarbose analogues.
