Adipose tissue-specific modulation of galectin expression in lean and obese mice: evidence for regulatory function.

ABSTRACT: Galectins (Gal) exert many activities, including regulation of inflammation and adipogenesis. We evaluated modulation of Gal-1, -3, -9 and -12 in visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue in mice.We used two mouse models of obesity, high-fat diet induced obesity (DIO) and ob/ob mice. We also evaluated the response of Gal-1 KO mice to DIO.Both age and diet modulated expression of galectins, with DIO mice having higher serum Gal-1 and Gal-3 versus lean mice after 13-17 weeks of high-fat diet. In DIO mice there was a progressive increase in expression of Gal-1 and Gal-9 in SAT, whereas Gal-3 increased in both VAT and SAT. Expression of Gal-12 declined over time in VAT of DIO mice, similar to adiponectin. Obesity lead to increased production of Gal-1 in adipocytes, whereas the increased Gal-3 and Gal-9 of obesity mostly derived from the stromovascular fraction. Expression of Gal-12 was restricted to adipocytes. There was increased production of Gal-3 and Gal-9, but not Gal-1, in CD11c(-) and CD11c(+) macrophages from VAT of DIO versus lean mice. Expression of Gal-1, -3 and -12 in VAT and SAT of ob/ob mice followed a trend comparable to DIO mice. Rosiglitazone reduced serum Gal-1, but not Gal-3 and modulated expression of Gal-3 in VAT and Gal-9 and Gal-12 in SAT of DIO mice. High-fat feeding lead to increased adiposity in Gal-1 KO versus WT mice, with loss of correlation between leptin and adiposity and no alterations in glucose and insulin levels.Obesity leads to differential modulation of Gal-1, 3, 9 and 12 in VAT and SAT, with Gal-1 acting as a modulator of adiposity.

Project description:BackgroundObesity associates with low-grade inflammation and adipose tissue remodeling. Using sensitive high-throughput protein arrays we here investigated adipose tissue cytokine and angiogenesis-related protein profiles from obese and lean mice, and in particular, the influence of calorie restriction (CR).MethodsTissue samples from visceral fat were harvested from obese mice fed with a high-fat diet (60% of energy), lean controls receiving low-fat control diet as well as from obese and lean mice kept under CR (energy intake 70% of ad libitum intake) for 50 days. Protein profiles were analyzed using mouse cytokine and angiogenesis protein array kits.ResultsIn obese and lean mice, CR was associated with 11.3% and 15.6% reductions in body weight, as well as with 4.0% and 4.6% reductions in body fat percentage, respectively. Obesity induced adipose tissue cytokine expressions, the most highly upregulated cytokines being IL-1ra, IL-2, IL-16, MCP-1, MIG, RANTES, C5a, sICAM-1 and TIMP-1. CR increased sICAM-1 and TIMP-1 expression both in obese and lean mice. Overall, CR showed distinct effects on cytokine expressions; in obese mice CR largely decreased but in lean mice increased adipose tissue cytokine expressions. Obesity was also associated with increased expressions of angiogenesis-related proteins, in particular, angiogenin, endoglin, endostatin, endothelin-1, IGFBP-3, leptin, MMP-3, PAI-1, TIMP-4, CXCL16, platelet factor 4, DPPIV and coagulation factor III. CR increased endoglin, endostatin and platelet factor 4 expressions, and decreased IGFBP-3, NOV, MMP-9, CXCL16 and osteopontin expressions both in obese and lean mice. Interestingly, in obese mice, CR decreased leptin and TIMP-4 expressions, whereas in lean mice their expressions were increased. CR decreased MMP-3 and PAI-1 only in obese mice, whereas CR decreased FGF acidic, FGF basic and coagulation factor III, and increased angiogenin and DPPIV expression only in lean mice.ConclusionsCR exerts distinct effects on adipocyte cytokine and angiogenesis profiles in obese and lean mice. Our study also underscores the importance of angiogenesis-related proteins and cytokines in adipose tissue remodeling and development of obesity.
