The inflammasome is a central player in the induction of obesity and insulin resistance

ABSTRACT: Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Chronic overfeeding leads to macrophage infiltration in the adipose tissue, resulting in pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Both microbial and endogenous danger signals trigger assembly of the intracellular innate immune sensor Nlrp3 [NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3] resulting in caspase-1 activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18. Here, we showed that mice deficient in Nlrp3, ASC [apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD; a.k.a PYCARD (PYD and CARD domain containing)] and caspase-1 were resistant to the development of high fat diet-induced obesity, which correlated with protection from obesity-induced insulin resistance. Detailed metabolic and molecular phenotyping demonstrated that the inflammasome controls energy expenditure and adipogenic gene expression during chronic overfeeding. These findings reveal a critical function of the inflammasome in obesity and insulin resistance and suggest inhibition of the inflammasome as a potential therapeutic strategy. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Wild-type (WT), ASC-null and Casp1-null mice were subjected to high fat diet feeding for 16 weeks. After the diet intervention period, the animals were killed and epididymal white adipose tissue was removed. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.

The ATP-P2X7 signaling axis is dispensable for obesity-associated inflammasome activation in adipose tissue

Project description:Inflammasome activation in adipose tissue has been implicated in obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, when and how inflammasome is activated in adipose tissue remains speculative. Here we test the hypothesis that extracellular ATP, a potent stimulus of inflammasome in macrophages via purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 7 (P2X7), may play a role in inflammasome activation in adipose tissue in obesity. Our data show that inflammasome is activated in adipose tissue upon 8-week feeding of 60% HFD, coinciding with the onset of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia as well as the induction of P2X7 in adipose tissue. Unexpectedly, P2X7-deficient animals on HFD exhibit no changes in metabolic phenotypes, nor in inflammatory responses or inflammasome activation when compared to the wildtype controls. Similar observations have been obtained in hematopoietic cell-specific P2X7-deficient animals generated by bone marrow transplantation. Thus, we conclude that inflammasome activation in adipose tissue in obesity coincides with the onset of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, but unexpectedly, is not mediated by the ATP-P2X7 signaling axis. The nature of the inflammasome-activating danger signal(s) in adipose tissue in obesity remains to be characterized. Wild type and P2X7 knockout mice were fed a low fat diet (chow) or high fat diet for 12 weeks. After the diet intervention period, the animals were killed and epididymal white adipose tissue was removed. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Lung gene expression analysis of WT, Nlrp3-, Asc-deficient mice in Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 and ATCC6303 infection

Project description:Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae is the most frequently isolated causative pathogen community-acquired pneumonia, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. We investigated the role of the inflammasome sensor NLRP3 and the inflammasome adapter ASC during S. pneumoniae pneumonia. Detailed analysis of the early inflammatory response in the lung by whole genome transcriptional profiling, we identified several mediators that were differentially expressed between Nlrp3-/- and Asc-/ - mice. WT, Nlrp3- and Asc-deficient mice were intranasally inocculated with Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 and ATCC6303 both at high and low dose. Lung homogenates were harvested and gene expression profiling was performed.

miRNA profiling by array of human paired adipose tissue (subcutaneous and omentum) before and after gastric-bypass and weight loss

Project description:Objective: Adipose tissue plays a key role in obesity related metabolic dysfunction. MicroRNA (miRNA) are gene regulatory molecules involved in inter-cellular and inter-organ communication. We hypothesised that miRNA levels in adipose tissue would change after gastric bypass surgery and that this would provide insights into their role in obesity-induced metabolic dysregulation. Methods: miRNA-profiling (Affymetrix_Gene-Chip_miRNA2.0_Arrays) of omental and subcutaneous adipose (n=15 females) before, and after, gastric bypass surgery. Results: One omental, and thirteen subcutaneous adipose miRNAs were significantly, differentially expressed after gastric bypass, including down-regulation of miR-223-3p and its antisense relative, miR-223-5p, in both adipose tissues. mRNA levels of miR-223-3p targets NLRP3 and GLUT4 were increased and decreased respectively following gastric bypass in both adipose tissues. Significantly more NLRP3 protein was observed in omental adipose after gastric bypass (P=0.02). Significant hypomethlyation of NLRP3 and hypermethylation of miR-223 was observed in both adipose tissues after gastric bypass. In subcutaneous adipose significant correlations were observed between both miR-223-3p and miR-223-5p and glucose, and between NLRP3 mRNA and protein levels and blood lipids. Conclusions: This is the first report detailing genome-wide miRNA-profiling of omental adipose before and after gastric bypass, and further highlights a link between miR-223-3p and the NLRP3 inflammasome in obesity.

Project description:The immune system may respond to engineered nanomaterials (ENM) through inflammatory reactions. The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to a wide range of ENM, and its activation is associated with various inflammatory diseases. The objective of the study was to compare the effects of gold ENM of different shapes on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and related signalling pathways. Differentiated THP-1 cells (wildtype, ASC- or NLRP3-deficient), were exposed to PEGylated gold nanorods, nanostars, and nanospheres. Exposed cells were subjected to gene expression analysis. Nanorods, but not nanostars or nanospheres, showed NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ASC- or NLRP3-deficient cells did not show this effect. Gold nanorod-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation was accompanied by downregulated sterol/cholesterol biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and purinergic receptor signalling. In conclusion, the shape and surface chemistry of gold nanoparticles determine NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Canonical Nlrp3 inflammasome activation links systemic age-related inflammation with functional decline

Project description:This experiment was performed to analyze the contribution of NLRP3 inflammasome activation to age-related changes in hippocampal RNA. The hypothesis was that decreased inflammasome activation would reduce hippocampal inflammation. Results indicate that inflammasome knockout animals are protected from age-related changes in hippocampal gene expression Gene expression profiles of young (1 month) and old (21-23 month) wild type, CIAS -/- and ASC -/- mouse hippocampal tissue were compared. Total mRNA was extracted using Trizol.

Leptin Signalling in the Ovary of Diet-Induced Obese Mice Regulates Activation of Nod-Like Receptor Protein 3 Inflammasome

Project description:Obesity leads to ovarian dysfunction and the establishment of local leptin resistance. The aim of our study was to characterise levels of Nod-Like Receptor Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation during obesity progression in the mouse ovaries and liver and test the putative role of leptin on its regulation. C57BL/6J mice were treated with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for oestrous cycle synchronisation and ovaries collection. In diet-induced obesity (DIO) model, mice were fed chow diet (CD) or high fat diet (HFD) for 4 or 16 weeks (wk), whereas in hyperleptinemic model (LEPT), mice were injected with leptin for 16 days (16L) or saline (16C) and in the genetic obese leptin-deficient ob/ob (+/? and -/-) animals were fed CD for 4wk. Either ovaries and liver were collected, as well as cumulus cells (CCs) after superovulation from DIO and LEPT. In DIO protocol, protein expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components was increased in 4wk HFD, but decreased in 16wk HFD. Moreover LEPT and ob/ob models revealed NLRP3 and IL-1 upregulation in 16L and downregulation in ob/ob. Transcriptome analysis of CC showed common genes between LEPT and 4wk HFD modulating NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover analysis in the liver showed upregulation of NLRP3 protein only after 16wk HFD, but also the downregulation of NLRP3 protein in ob/ob-/-. We showed the link between leptin signalling and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the ovary throughout obesity progression in mice, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underpinning ovarian failure in maternal obesity.

Comparison of gene expression profiles in naïve WT and Asc-null bone marrow derived dendritic cells

Project description:The adaptor protein ASC contributes to innate immunity through the assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammasome complexes. We demonstrate that ASC plays an inflammasome-independent cell-intrinsic role in adaptive immune cells. Asc-/- mice displayed defective antigen presentation by dendritic cells and lymphocyte migration due to impaired Rac-mediated actin polymerization. Genome-wide analysis showed that ASC, but not Nlrp3 or caspase-1, controls mRNA stability and expression of DOCK2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that mediates Rac-dependent signaling in immune cells. DOCK2-deficient dendritic cells showed similar defective antigen uptake as Asc-/- cells. Ectopic expression of DOCK2 in ASC-deficient cells restored Rac-mediated actin polymerization, antigen uptake and chemotaxis. Thus, ASC shapes adaptive immunity independently of inflammasomes by modulating DOCK2-dependent Rac activation and F-actin polymerization in dendritic cells and lymphocytes. Three replicates of naïve WT and three replicates of Asc-/- bone marrow derived dendritic cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix HT MG-430 PM plate array.

Gene expression profile in the lung of mice during pneumococcal pneumonia: WT vs NLRP3 inflammasome component-deficient mice

Project description:Inflammasomes are multiprotein platforms of caspase-1 activation. The NLRP3 inflammasome is composed of NLRP3, ASC, and procaspase-1. This inflammasome is activated by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including pneumococci, and protects from a variety of microbial pathogens. In the present study, we examined the role of NLRP3 inflammasome components in gene expression in the lung during pneumococcal pneumina.
