ACE2 is expressed in mouse adipocytes and regulated by a high-fat diet.

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue expresses components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE2), a new component of the RAS, catabolizes the vasoconstrictor peptide ANG II to form the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7 [ANG-(1-7)]. We examined whether adipocytes express ACE2 and its regulation by manipulation of the RAS and by high-fat (HF) feeding. ACE2 mRNA expression increased (threefold) during differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and was not regulated by manipulation of the RAS. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed low- (LF) or high-fat (HF) diets for 1 wk or 4 mo. At 1 wk of HF feeding, adipose expression of angiotensinogen (twofold) and ACE2 (threefold) increased, but systemic angiotensin peptide concentrations and blood pressure were not altered. At 4 mo of HF feeding, adipose mRNA expression of angiotensinogen (twofold) and ACE2 (threefold) continued to be elevated, and liver angiotensinogen expression increased (twofold). However, adipose tissue from HF mice did not exhibit elevated ACE2 protein or activity. Increased expression of ADAM17, a protease responsible for ACE2 shedding, coincided with reductions in ACE2 activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and an ADAM17 inhibitor decreased media ACE2 activity. Moreover, ADAM17 mRNA expression was increased in adipose tissue from 4-mo HF-fed mice, and plasma ACE2 activity increased. However, HF mice exhibited marked increases in plasma angiotensin peptide concentrations (LF: 2,141 +/- 253; HF: 6,829 +/- 1,075 pg/ml) and elevated blood pressure. These results demonstrate that adipocytes express ACE2 that is dysregulated in HF-fed mice with elevated blood pressure compared with LF controls.

Adrenergic stimulation of adiponectin secretion in visceral mouse adipocytes is blunted in high-fat diet induced obesity.

Project description:The hormone adiponectin is secreted by white adipocytes and has been put forward as a key mediator of obesity-linked insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. Although adiponectin was discovered two decades ago, the knowledge about the molecular and cellular regulation of its secretion is incomplete. Here we have investigated the adrenergic regulation of adiponectin secretion in primary visceral (gonadal) adipocytes isolated from lean or obese/diabetic mice. We show that visceral adipocyte adiponectin release is triggered by cAMP/catecholamines via signalling pathways involving adrenergic beta-3-receptors (?3ARs) and Exchange Protein directly Activated by cAMP, isoform 1 (Epac1). The adrenergically stimulated adiponectin secretion is blunted in visceral adipocytes isolated from obese and diabetic mice and our results suggest the existence of a secretory defect. We have previously shown that adiponectin secretion in subcutaneous adipocytes is abolished in the obese/diabetic state due to reduced abundance of ?3ARs and Epac1. However, here we show that protein levels of ?3ARs and Epac1 are maintained in visceral adipocytes from obese/diabetic mice proposing that other molecular defects underlie the blunted adiponectin release. Gene expression analysis indicate diabesity-associated disturbances of the signalling downstream of Epac1 and/or the exocytotic process itself. Our study proposes that visceral adipocytes partake in the regulated secretion of adiponectin and may thus influence circulating levels of the hormone, in health and in metabolic disease.

High-fat diet-induced glucose dysregulation is independent of changes in islet ACE2 in mice.

Project description:While restoration of ACE2 activity in the pancreas leads to improvement of glycemia in experimental models of Type 2 diabetes, global deficiency in ACE2 disrupts ?-cell function and impairs glucose tolerance in mice, demonstrating the physiological role of ACE2 in glucose homeostasis. Although the contribution of pancreatic ACE2 to glucose regulation has been demonstrated in genetic models of diabetes and in models with overexpression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), it is unclear whether islet ACE2 is involved in glycemic control in common models of human Type 2 diabetes. To determine whether diet-induced diabetes deregulates glucose homeostasis via reduction of ACE2 in the pancreatic islets, wild-type (WT) and ACE2 knockout (KO) male mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 wk. ACE2 KO mice were more susceptible than WT mice to HFD-mediated glycemic dysregulation. Islet ACE2 activity and expression of various genes, including ANG II type 1a receptor (mAT1aR) were then assessed. Surprisingly, we observed no change in islet ACE2 activity and expression despite local RAS overactivity, indicated by an upregulation of mAT1aR expression. Despite a predominant expression in islet ?-cells, further investigation highlighted a minor role for ACE2 on glucagon expression. Further, pancreatic ACE2 gene therapy improved glycemia in HFD-fed WT mice, leading to enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, reduced pancreatic ANG II levels, fibrosis, and ADAM17 activity. Altogether, our study demonstrates that HFD feeding increases RAS activity and mediates glycemic dysregulation likely through loss of ACE2 present outside the islets but independently of changes in islet ACE2.

Diphyllin Improves High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice Through Brown and Beige Adipocytes.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipose tissue dissipate metabolic energy and mediate nonshivering thermogenesis, thereby boosting energy expenditure. Increasing the browning of BAT and beige adipose tissue is expected to be a promising strategy for combatting obesity. Through phenotype screening of C3H10-T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells, diphyllin was identified as a promising molecule in promoting brown adipocyte differentiation. In vitro studies revealed that diphyllin promoted C3H10-T1/2 cell and primary brown/beige preadipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis, which resulted increased energy consumption. We synthesized the compound and evaluated its effect on metabolism in vivo. Chronic experiments revealed that mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with 100 mg/kg diphyllin had ameliorated oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and decreased body weight and fat content ratio. Adaptive thermogenesis in HFD-fed mice under cold stimulation and whole-body energy expenditure were augmented after chronic diphyllin treatment. Diphyllin may be involved in regulating the development of brown and beige adipocytes by inhibiting V-ATPase and reducing intracellular autophagy. This study provides new clues for the discovery of anti-obesity molecules from natural products.

RNA-seq Analysis of GPCRs expressed in mouse inguinal white adipocytes (iWAT), epididymal white adipocytes (eWAT) and brown adipose tissues (BAT) after high fat diet treatment.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to identify GPCRs that are endogenously expressed by high fat diet fed mouse adipose tissue, we subjected RNA prepared from isolated mouse adipocytes (iWAT and eWAT) and BAT tissue to RNA-seq analysis. Methods: Total RNA extracted from mature adipocytes (iWAT and eWAT) and BAT tissue of C57BL/6 mice maintained on high fat diet for 12 weeks were used to construct high throughput sequencing libraries. RNAs with RIN >8 (assessed by the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system) were used to prepare transcriptome libraries using the NEBNext Ultra RNA library prep kit (New England Biolabs). High throughput RNA-sequencing was performed using a Illumina HiSeq 2500 at the NIDDK Genomic Core Facility (NIH, Bethesda, MD). Raw reads were mapped to the mouse (mm9) genome. Results: Our study demonstrated that mouse adipocytes/BAT tissue from HFD-fed mice express several GPCRs.

Transcriptomic Analysis of High Fat Diet Fed Mouse Brain Cortex.

Project description:High fat diet can lead to metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes known to be chronic inflammatory diseases with high prevalence worldwide. Recent studies have reported cognitive dysfunction in obese patients is caused by a high fat diet. Accordingly, such dysfunction is called "type 3 diabetes" or "diabetic dementia." Although dysregulation of protein-coding genes has been extensively studied, profiling of non-coding RNAs including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) has not been reported yet. Therefore, the objective of this study was to obtain profiles of diverse RNAs and determine their patterns of alteration in high fat fed brain cortex compared to normal brain cortex. To investigate regulatory roles of both coding and non-coding RNAs in high fat diet brain, we performed RNA sequencing of ribosomal RNA-depleted RNAs and identified genome-wide lncRNAs and circRNAs expression and co-expression patterns of mRNAs in high fat diet mouse brain cortex. Our results showed expression levels of mRNAs related to neurogenesis, synapse, and calcium signaling were highly changed in high fat diet fed cortex. In addition, numerous differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs were identified. Our study provides valuable expression profiles and potential function of both coding and non-coding RNAs in high fat diet fed brain cortex.

High-Fat Diet Impairs Tactile Discrimination Memory in the Mouse.

Project description:Research on the impact of diet and memory has garnered considerable attention while exploring the link between obesity and cognitive impairment. High-fat diet (HFD) rodent models recapitulate the obesity phenotype and subsequent cognitive impairments. While it is known that HFD is associated with sensory impairment, little attention has been given to the potential role these sensory deficits may play in recognition memory testing, one of the most commonly used cognitive tests. Because mice utilize their facial whiskers as their primary sensory apparatus, we modified a common recognition test, the novel object recognition task, by replacing objects with sandpaper grits at ground level, herein referred to as the novel tactile recognition task (NTR). First, we tested whisker-manipulated mice in this task to determine its reliance on intact whiskers. Then, we tested the HFD mouse in the NTR. Finally, to ensure that deficits in the NTR are due to cognitive impairment and not HFD-induced sensory deficiencies, we tested the whisker sensitivity of HFD mice via the corner test. Our results indicate that the NTR is a whisker dependent task, and that HFD mice exhibit tactile recognition memory impairment, not accompanied by whisker sensory deficits.

Adipose cell hypertrophy precedes the appearance of small adipocytes by 3 days in C57BL/6 mouse upon changing to a high fat diet.

Project description:Adipose tissue is the energy buffer in mammals. The cellularity of adipose tissue has a major role in determining the response of adipose tissue to insulin action. A reduction in the ability of adipose tissue to store ingested caloric excess can lead to dyslipidemia and lipotoxicity, impacting insulin action systemically. The dynamic response of adipose tissue to changes in diet is therefore a crucial aspect of metabolism, and has attracted attention in the context of the ongoing worldwide increase in overweight and obesity and resulting metabolic syndrome dysfunctions. We investigated in a mouse model if there is a specific delay between an increase in caloric intake and the recruitment of new adipocytes, and if there are other changes in adipose tissue dynamics concomitant with such a diet change. By developing a dynamic mathematical model, we found that there is a delay of 3 days between the start of a high fat diet and the recruitment of new adipocytes, and that the rate of fat mass increase modulates lipid turnover and adipose cell hypertrophy.

A high-carbohydrate diet induces greater inflammation than a high-fat diet in mouse skeletal muscle.

Project description:We previously reported that both the high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) and high-fat diet (HFD) given for two months promote lipid deposition and inflammation in the liver and brain of mice. The results obtained indicate a tissue-specific response to both diets. Herein, we compared the effects of HCD and HFD on fatty acid (FA) composition and inflammation in the gastrocnemius muscle. Male Swiss mice were fed with HCD or HFD for 1 or 2 months. Saturated FA (SFA), monounsaturated FA (MUFA), n-3 polyunsaturated FA (n-3 PUFA), and n-6 PUFA were quantified. The activities of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD-1), Δ-6 desaturase (D6D), elongase 6, and de novo lipogenesis (DNL) were estimated. As for indicators of the inflammatory tissue state, we measured myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and gene expression of F4/80, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, and IL-10. The HCD led to a lower deposition of SFA, MUFA, n-3 PUFA, and n-6 PUFA compared to HFD. However, the HCD increased arachidonic acid levels, SFA/n-3 PUFA ratio, DNL, SCD-1, D6D, and MPO activities, and expression of IL-6, contrasting with the general idea that increased lipid deposition is associated with more intense inflammation. The HCD was more potent to induce skeletal muscle inflammation than the HFD, regardless of the lower lipid accumulation.

Menin-regulated Pbk controls High fat diet-induced compensatory beta cell proliferation

Project description:Pancreatic beta cells undergo compensatory proliferation in the early phase of type 2 diabetes. While pathways such as FoxM1 are involved in regulating compensatory beta cell proliferation, given the lack of therapeutics effectively targeting beta-cell proliferation, other targetable pathways need to be identified. Herein, we show that Pbk, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is essential for high fat diet (HFD)-induced beta cell proliferation in vivo using a Pbk kinase deficiency knock-in mouse model. Mechanistically, JunD recruits menin and HDAC3 complex to the Pbk promoter to reduce histone H3 acetylation, leading to epigenetic repression of Pbk expression. Moreover, menin inhibitor (MI) disrupts the menin-JunD interaction and augments Pbk transcription. Importantly, MI administration increases beta cell proliferation, ameliorating hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in HFD-induced diabetic mice. Notably, Pbk is required for the MI-induced beta cell proliferation and improvement of IGT. Together, these results demonstrate the repressive role of the menin/JunD/Pbk axis in regulating HFD-induced compensatory beta cell proliferation and pharmacologically regulating this axis may serve as a novel strategy for type 2 diabetes therapy.
