Coronary and aortic endothelial function affected by feedback between adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor ? in type 2 diabetic mice.

ABSTRACT: To verify that adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? reciprocally regulate their expression, thereby synergistically affecting both coronary and aortic endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice.We examined endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilation/vasorelaxation of coronary arterioles and aortas in control mice, diabetic mice (Lepr(db)), and Lepr(db) treated with adiponectin or neutralizing antibody to TNF-? (anti-TNF-?). Endothelium-dependent vasodilation to acetylcholine in both coronary arterioles and aortas was blunted in Lepr(db) compared with control mice. Endothelium-independent vasodilation to sodium nitroprusside was comparable. Adiponectin and anti-TNF-? improved acetylcholine-induced vasodilation of coronary arterioles and aortas in Lepr(db) without affecting dilator response to sodium nitroprusside. Adiponectin protein expression was significantly reduced, and TNF-? protein expression was significantly greater, in coronary arterioles and aortas of Lepr(db) compared with control mice. Immunofluorescence staining results indicate that adiponectin was colocalized with endothelial cells. Anti-TNF-? treatment upregulated adiponectin protein expression in Lepr(db) coronary arterioles and aortas. Adiponectin administration reduced TNF-? protein expression in Lepr(db). Although adiponectin receptor 1 protein expression in coronary arterioles and aortas was similar between control and diabetic mice, adiponectin receptor 2 protein expression was significantly reduced in Lepr(db). Both adiponectin and anti-TNF-? inhibited I?B? phosphorylation and nuclear factor ?B protein expression in Lepr(db), suggesting that adiponectin and TNF-? signaling may converge on nuclear factor ?B to reciprocally regulate their expression.A reciprocal suppression occurs between adiponectin and TNF-? that fundamentally affects the regulation of coronary and aortic endothelial function in type 2 diabetic mice.

Project description:Obesity is often associated with insulin resistance, low-grade systemic inflammation, and reduced plasma adiponectin. Inflammation is also increased in adipose tissue, but it is not clear whether the reductions of adiponectin levels are related to dysregulation of insulin activity and/or increased proinflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated the interactions of insulin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the regulation of adiponectin production using in vivo and in vitro approaches. Plasma adiponectin and parameters of insulin resistance and inflammation were assessed in a cohort of lean and obese insulin-resistant subjects. In addition, the effect of insulin was examined in vivo using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, and in adipose tissue (AT) cultures. Compared with lean subjects, the levels of total adiponectin, and especially the high-molecular-weight (HMW) isomer, were abnormally low in obese insulin-resistant subjects. The hyperinsulinemic clamp data confirmed the insulin-resistant state in the obese patients and showed that insulin infusion significantly increased the plasma adiponectin in lean but not obese subjects (P < 0.01). Similarly, insulin increased total adiponectin release from AT explants of lean and not obese subjects. Moreover, expression and secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 increased significantly in AT of obese subjects and were negatively associated with expression and secretion of adiponectin. In 3T3-L1 and human adipocyte cultures, insulin strongly enhanced adiponectin expression (2-fold) and secretion (3-fold). TNF-α, and not IL-6, strongly opposed the stimulatory effects of insulin. Intriguingly, the inhibitory effect of TNF-α was especially directed toward the HMW isomer of adiponectin. In conclusion, these studies show that insulin upregulates adiponectin expression and release, and that TNF-α opposes the stimulatory effects of insulin. A combination of insulin resistance and increased TNF-α production could explain the decline of adiponectin levels and alterations of isomer composition in plasma of obese insulin-resistant subjects.

Project description:BackgroundTumor necrosis factor (TNF) is pathologically elevated in human abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Non-selective TNF inhibition-based therapeutics are approved for human use but have been linked to several side effects. Compounds that target the proinflammatory soluble form of TNF (solTNF) but preserve the immunomodulatory capabilities of the transmembrane form of TNF (tmTNF) may prevent these side effects. We hypothesize that inhibition of solTNF signaling prevents AAA expansion.MethodsThe effect of the selective solTNF inhibitor, XPro1595, and the non-selective TNF inhibitor, Etanercept (ETN) was examined in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) induced AAA mice, and findings with XPro1595 was confirmed in angiotensin II (ANGII) induced AAA in hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein E (Apoe) -/- mice.ResultsXPro1595 treatment significantly reduced AAA expansion in both models, and a similar trend (p = 0.06) was observed in PPE-induced AAA in ETN-treated mice. In the PPE aneurysm wall, XPro1595 improved elastin integrity scores. In aneurysms, mean TNFR1 levels reduced non-significantly (p = 0.07) by 50% after TNF inhibition, but the histological location in murine AAAs was unaffected and similar to that in human AAAs. Semi-quantification of infiltrating leucocytes, macrophages, T-cells, and neutrophils in the aneurysm wall were unaffected by TNF inhibition. XPro1595 increased systemic TNF levels, while ETN increased systemic IL-10 levels. In ANGII-induced AAA mice, XPro1595 increased systemic TNF and IL-5 levels. In early AAA development, proteomic analyses revealed that XPro1595 significantly upregulated ontology terms including "platelet aggregation" and "coagulation" related to the fibrinogen complex, from which several proteins were among the top regulated proteins. Downregulated ontology terms were associated with metabolic processes.ConclusionIn conclusion, selective inhibition of solTNF signaling reduced aneurysm expansion in mice, supporting its potential as an attractive treatment option for AAA patients.

Project description:RATIONALE:Anti-inflammatory and vascular protective actions of adiponectin are well recognized. However, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. OBJECTIVE:The current study attempted to identify the adiponectin receptor subtype responsible for adiponectin's vascular protective action and investigate the role of ceramidase activation in adiponectin anti-inflammatory signaling. METHODS AND RESULTS:Adiponectin significantly reduced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)?-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression and attenuated TNF?-induced oxidative/nitrative stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. These anti-inflammatory actions were virtually abolished by adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1-), but not AdipoR2-, knockdown (KD). Treatment with adiponectin significantly increased neutral ceramidase (nCDase) activity (3.7-fold; P<0.01). AdipoR1-KD markedly reduced globular adiponectin-induced nCDase activation, whereas AdipoR2-KD only slightly reduced. More importantly, small interfering RNA-mediated nCDase-KD markedly blocked the effect of adiponectin on TNF?-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression. AMP-activated protein kinase-KD failed to block adiponectin-induced nCDase activation and modestly inhibited adiponectin anti-inflammatory effect. In contrast, in caveolin-1 KD (Cav1-KD) cells, >87% of adiponectin-induced nCDase activation was lost. Whereas adiponectin treatment failed to inhibit TNF?-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression, treatment with sphingosine-1-phosphate or SEW (sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist) remained effective in Cav1-KD cells. AdipoR1 and Cav1 colocalized and coprecipitated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Adiponectin treatment did not affect this interaction. There is weak basal Cav1/nCDase interaction, which significantly increased after adiponectin treatment. Knockout of AdipoR1 or Cav1 abolished the inhibitory effect of adiponectin on leukocyte rolling and adhesion in vivo. CONCLUSIONS:These results demonstrate for the first time that adiponectin inhibits TNF?-induced inflammatory response via Cav1-mediated ceramidase recruitment and activation in an AdipoR1-dependent fashion.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is elevated in human abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Non-selective TNF inhibition has been linked to several severe side effects. Compounds that target the proinflammatory soluble TNF (solTNF) while preserving the immunomodulatory capabilities of transmembrane TNF (tmTNF) may prevent such side effects. We hypothesize that inhibition of solTNF signaling by XPro1595 is just as effective as non-selective TNF inhibition by etanercept (ETN) in preventing AAA expansion. The effect of XPro1595 and ETN was examined in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) induced AAA mice and findings of XPro1595 was confirmed in Angiotensin II (AngII) induced AAA in hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein E (Apoe) -/- mice. XPro1595 treatment significantly reduced AAA expansion in both models, while a similar trend (p=0.06) was observed in ETN-treated mice using the PPE model. In the PPE aneurysm wall, elastin integrity scores were significantly improved in the XPro1595 group. In the aneurysms, mean TNFR1wasreduced no-significantly (p=0.07) by 50% non-significant after TNF inhibition, but the cellular location in murine AAAs were unaffected and like the localization in human AAAs. Systemic TNF levels were elevated in XPro1595-treated mice, while systemic IL-10 levels were significantly increased after ETN-treatment, while in AngII induced AAA mice systemic TNF and IL5 levels were elevated after XPro1595 treatment. In early AAA development, proteomic analyses revealed that components of the fibrinogen complex were elevated while prostaglandin E2 synthase was down regulated by Xpro1595 (unadjusted p-values). David’s ontology analyses revealed that several pathways including cell matrix adhesion, extracellular space, fibrinogen complex, blood microparticles and glycoproteins were elevated by XPro1595 treatment. In conclusion, selective inhibition of solTNF reduces aneurysm expansion. This supports targeting solTNF as an attractive treatment option for AAA patients.
