Abstract:
Metabolic surgery could improve or even reverse type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is one of the most effective metabolic surgeries for T2DM. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the SADI-S-induced T2DM improvement are not fully understood.Here,T2DM rats received SADI-S and were sacrificed after 8 weeks; the controls received sham surgery; Liver tissues were collected for transcriptomics and proteomics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and proteins (DEPs). Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) was performed to validate the accuracy of the proteomics results.SADI-S significantly improved glucose metabolism in T2DM rats.A total of 120 genes/proteins(e.g., phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1) and pyruvate kinase (Pklr)) exhibited consistent expression trends at both mRNA and protein levels. Among the upregulated genes/proteins involved in glucose metabolic pathways, enrichment was observed in pathways such as the pyruvate metabolic pathway, insulin signaling pathway, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis biological processes, glucagon signaling pathway, and AMPK signaling pathway. Downregulated genes/proteins were enriched in the pyruvate metabolic pathway. The above-mentioned signaling pathways are implicated in glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential mechanism for SADI-S-mediated alleviation of T2DM. The PRM validation results indicated that all selected proteins showed consistent trends between PRM and proteomics data. This consistency suggests the reliability of the proteomics results.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Biguanides and Glitazones
Glucagon-like Receptor Agonists
GLP-1, when administered in high doses intravenously, triggers insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and restores normal insulin secretion. However, its rapid inactivation by...
