P38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signals the Immunoresolving Actions of Resolvin D1 in Inflamed Human Visceral Adipose Tissue

ABSTRACT: Activation of the innate immune system leading to a persistent state of low-grade of tissue inflammation greatly influences the risk of developing metabolic complications associated with obesity. In this study, we characterized the inflammatory state in adipose tissue from obese patients and explored the potential of the specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) resolvin D1 (RvD1) to actively terminate inflammation and promote its resolution. By means of high-troughput transcritomic analysis we identified a cytokine-related molecular signature in obese omental adipose tissue, characterized by a remarkable overexpression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1Î² and IL-10 associated with a concomitant increase in macrophage infiltration, which gradually increased in a body mass index-dependent manner. RNA profiling was conducted in 4 patients with morbid obesity and 4 control subjects using the Affymetrix Human Genome U219 expression array plate containing more than 36,000 transcripts and variants (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA).

IL-37 protects against obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance

Project description:Cytokines of the IL-1 family are important modulators of obesity-induced inflammation and the development of systemic insulin resistance. Here, we report that IL-37, a newly-described antiinflammatory member of the IL-1 family, affects obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. IL-37 transgenic mice (IL-37tg) did not develop an obese phenotype in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Unlike WT mice, IL-37tg mice exhibited reduced numbers of adipose tissue macrophages and preserved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity after 16 weeks of HFD. A short-term HFD intervention revealed that the IL-37-mediated improvement in glucose tolerance is independent of bodyweight. IL-37tg mice manifested a beneficial metabolic profile with higher circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin. In vitro treatment of differentiating adipocytes with recombinant IL-37 reduced adipogenesis. The beneficial effects of recombinant IL-37 involved activation of AMPK signaling. In humans, steady-state IL-37 adipose tissue mRNA levels were positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, lower adipose tissue levels of leptin and a lower inflammatory status of the adipose tissue. These findings reveal IL-37 as an important anti-inflammatory modulator during obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in both mice and humans and suggest that IL-37 is a potential target for the treatment of obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Gene arrays were performed on epidydimal white adipose tissue samples from wild type and human IL37-overexpressing transgenic mice fed a high fat diet for 16 weeks.

Normal breast tissue of obese women is enriched for macrophage markers and macrophage-associated gene expression

Project description:Activation of inflammatory pathways is one plausible mechanism underlying the association between obesity and increased breast cancer risk. However, macrophage infiltration and local biomarkers of inflammation in breast adipose tissue have seldom been studied in association with obesity. Gene expression profiles of normal breast tissue from reduction mammoplasty patients were evaluated by whole genome microarrays to identify patterns associated with obesity status (normal-weight, body mass index (BMI) <25; overweight, BMI 25-29.9; obese, BMI > or equal to 30). The presence of macrophage-enriched inflammatory loci with immunopositivity for CD68 protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). After adjusting for confounding by age, 760 genes were differentially expressed (203 up and 557 down; FDR = 0.026) between normal-weight and obese women. Gene ontology analysis suggested significant enrichment for pathways involving IL-6, IL-8, CCR5 signaling in macrophages and RXRalpha and PPARalpha activation, consistent with a pro-inflammatory state and suggestive of macrophage infiltration. Gene set enrichment analysis also demonstrated that the genomic signatures of monocytes and macrophages were over-represented in the obese group with FDR of 0.08 and 0.13, respectively. Increased macrophage infiltration was confirmed by IHC, which showed that the breast adipose tissue of obese women had higher average macrophage counts (mean = 8.96 vs. 3.56 in normal-weight women) and inflammatory foci counts (mean = 4.91 vs. 2.67 in normal-weight women). Obesity is associated with local inflammation and macrophage infiltration in normal human breast adipose tissues. Given the role of macrophages in carcinogenesis, these findings have important implications for breast cancer etiology and progression. 72 normal breast tissue samples from patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty. Reference design.

Linc-ADAIN, A Human Adipose LincRNA Regulates Adipogenesis by Modulating KLF5 and IL-8 mRNA stability

Project description:Adipose tissue remodeling and dysfunction, characterized by increased inflammation and insulin resistance, play a central role in obesity-related development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are important regulators of cellular functions. Here we describe the functions of linc-ADAIN (ADipose Anti-INflammatory), an adipose lincRNA that is downregulated in white adipose tissue of obese humans. We demonstrate that linc-ADAIN knockdown (KD) increases KLF5 and IL-8 mRNA stability and translation, by interacting with IGF2BP2. Upregulation of KLF5 and IL-8, via linc-ADAIN KD, led to an enhanced adipogenic program and adipose tissue inflammation, mirroring the obese state, in vitro and in vivo, KD of linc-ADAIN in human ASC hTERT adipocytes implanted into mice, increased adipocyte size and macrophage infiltration compared to implanted control adipocytes, mimicking hallmark features of obesity-induced adipose tissue remodeling. Linc-ADAIN is an anti-inflammatory lincRNA that limits adipose tissue expansion and lipid storage.

Microarray analysis of CD9high and CD9low progenitors isolated from omental adipose tissue of morbid obese individuals

Project description:Obesity-induced white adipose tissue (WAT) fibrosis is believed to accelerate WAT dysfunction. Two progenitor populations could be distinguished in omental white adipose tissue (oWAT) of morbidly obese individuals based on CD9 expression. In addition, the frequency of CD9high progenitors in oWAT correlates with oWAT fibrosis level, insulin-resistance severity and type 2 diabetes. To further gain insight into the functional differences between the CD9high and CD9low progenitor subsets, we performed transcriptomic profiling of FACS-sorted progenitor populations isolated from oWAT of obese individuals. As CD9low progenitors were markedly decreased in glucose-intolerant or diabetic individuals, we investigated seven women with morbid obesity but without diabetes or glucose intolerance, according to the ADA definition.

The Ubiquitin Ligase Siah2 Regulates Obesity-induced Adipose Tissue Inflammation

Project description:Chronic, low-grade adipose tissue inflammation associated with adipocyte hypertrophy is an important link in the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance. Although ubiquitin ligases are essential regulators of inflammatory processes, the role of these enzymes in metabolically driven adipose tissue inflammation is relatively unexplored. In this study, we found that the ubiquitin ligase Siah2 is a central factor in obesity-related adipose tissue inflammation. When challenged with chronic excess energy intake, Siah2-null mice become obese with enlarged adipocytes, but do not develop obesity-induced insulin resistance. Proinflammatory gene expression is substantially reduced in the Siah2-null epididymal adipose tissue of the obese Siah2KO mice.

Transcriptome profiling of omental adipose tissues in human obesity by RNA-Seq

Project description:Purpose: To profile the transcriptomes of omental adipose tissues from obese and lean humans. Methods: Omental adipose tissues from obese and lean patients were subjected to RNA-Seq. Results: Differential expression analysis identified 206 dysregulated genes (p-value < 0.05 by moderated t-test and fold change M-bM-^IM-% 2 in obesity) that are known to be involved in a multitude of functions, including response to stress, inflammatory response and leukocyte adhesion. Differential splicing analysis uncovered the possible role of TLR4 RNA splicing in obesity. Our findings suggest that, as a person experiences weight gain/obesity, the adipose splicing pattern of TLR4 transcripts changes in favor of activation of TLR4 signaling, which in turn may contribute to the progression of obesity-related inflammation and complications. Conclusion: This study provides a look into the transcriptome of disease-state adipose tissue in obesity, and demonstrates the potential importance of aberrant RNA splicing and expression in obesity-associated immune dysregulation. Study design is of cross-sectional nature. Seven samples (three obese and four lean) were analyzed.

microRNA expression analysis of circulating monocytes in obese patients

Project description:Low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of obesity and obesity-associated disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. One possible link between obesity and inflammation is the enhanced activation of circulating monocytes making them more prone to infiltration into the adipose and vascular tissues of obese persons. microRNAs are a class of small endogenous non-coding RNAs, which function as important regulators of inflammation by modulating gene expression. Therefore, microRNA analysis of circulating monocytes from control and obese patients will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of obesity and associated disorders and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. The cohort comprised 6 lean age-matched controls (BMI: 20±0.8 kg/m2, mean±SEM) and 9 obese individuals without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease (BMI: 46±1.5 kg/m2, P<0.001 compared with lean controls). CD14+ monocytes were collected, total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA expression analysis. Samples consisted of CD14+ monocytes from 6 lean controls and 9 morbidly obese patients.
