Differential Proteomic Expression of Equine Cardiac and Lamellar Tissue During Insulin-Induced Laminitis.
Abstract: Endocrinopathic laminitis is pathologically similar to the multi-organ dysfunction and peripheral neuropathy found in human patients with metabolic syndrome. Similarly, endocrinopathic laminitis has been shown to partially result from vascular dysfunction. However, despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of this disease is not well elucidated and laminitis remains without an effective treatment. Here, we sought to identify novel proteins and pathways underlying the development of equine endocrinopathic laminitis. Healthy Standardbred horses ( = 4/group) were either given an electrolyte infusion, or a 48-h euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Cardiac and lamellar tissues were analyzed by mass spectrometry (FDR = 0.05). All hyperinsulinemic horses developed laminitis despite being previously healthy. We identified 514 and 709 unique proteins in the cardiac and lamellar proteomes, respectively. In the lamellar tissue, we identified 14 proteins for which their abundance was significantly increased and 13 proteins which were significantly decreased in the hyperinsulinemic group as compared to controls. These results were confirmed via real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR. A STRING analysis of protein-protein interactions revealed that these increased proteins were primarily involved in coagulation and complement cascades, platelet activity, and ribosomal function, while decreased proteins were involved in focal adhesions, spliceosomes, and cell-cell matrices. Novel significant differentially expressed proteins associated with hyperinsulinemia-induced laminitis include talin-1, vinculin, cadherin-13, fibrinogen, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and heat shock protein 90. In contrast, no proteins were found to be significantly differentially expressed in the heart of hyperinsulinemic horses compared to controls. Together, these data indicate that while hyperinsulinemia induced, in part, microvascular damage, complement activation, and ribosomal dysfunction in the lamellae, a similar effect was not seen in the heart. In brief, this proteomic investigation of a unique equine model of hyperinsulinemia identified novel proteins and signaling pathways, which may lead to the discovery of molecular biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for endocrinopathic laminitis.

The researchers conducted a thorough investigation of novel proteins and pathways that may be involved in the development of equine endocrinopathic laminitis, a disease similar to human metabolic syndrome lacking effective treatment. In this study, the researchers subjected Standardbred horses to hyperinsulinemia, triggering laminitis, isolated cardiac and lamellar tissues, and then carried out proteomic analysis.
Research Methodology
- The researchers used healthy Standardbred horses, dividing them into two groups. One group was given an electrolyte infusion, while the other group was subjected to a 48-hour euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp – a procedure intended to induce hyperinsulinemia and subsequently, laminitis.
- Upon developing laminitis, cardiac and lamellar tissues were extracted from the horses and were analyzed with mass spectrometry – a technique allowing them to identify and quantify proteins in these tissues.
Results of the Study
- Indeed, all horses that were made hyperinsulinemic developed laminitis. The researchers identified a total of 514 unique proteins in the cardiac proteomes and 709 in the lamellar proteomes.
- Specially in the lamellar tissue, they found significant changes in the levels of 27 proteins – 14 increased and 13 decreased – associated with the hyperinsulinemic state.
- Through a STRING analysis, a method to understand protein-protein interactions, it was found that increased proteins were mainly linked to coagulation and complement cascades, platelet activity, and ribosomal function. On the other hand, the decreased proteins were involved in spliceosomes, focal adhesions, and cell-cell matrices.
- The new significant proteins associated with hyperinsulinemia-induced laminitis were identified, which include talin-1, vinculin, cadherin-13, fibrinogen, alpha-2-macroglobulin, and heat shock protein 90.
- Interestingly, no significant protein expression difference was noted in the heart tissues of the hyperinsulinemic horses compared to the control group.
Conclusion and Implications
- The research underscored the pathological impact of hyperinsulinemia on horse lamellae, leading to microvascular damage, complement activation, and ribosomal dysfunction, while a similar effect was not observed in the heart.
- These newly identified proteins and signaling pathways in the lamellar tissue under hyperinsulinemia could potentially be employed as molecular biomarkers for early detection or as therapeutic targets for the treatment of endocrinopathic laminitis.
