IRF3 promotes adipose inflammation and insulin resistance and represses browning.

ABSTRACT: The chronic inflammatory state that accompanies obesity is a major contributor to insulin resistance and other dysfunctional adaptations in adipose tissue. Cellular and secreted factors promote the inflammatory milieu of obesity, but the transcriptional pathways that drive these processes are not well described. Although the canonical inflammatory transcription factor NF-?B is considered to be the major driver of adipocyte inflammation, members of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family may also play a role in this process. Here, we determined that IRF3 expression is upregulated in the adipocytes of obese mice and humans. Signaling through TLR3 and TLR4, which lie upstream of IRF3, induced insulin resistance in murine adipocytes, while IRF3 knockdown prevented insulin resistance. Furthermore, improved insulin sensitivity in IRF3-deficient mice was associated with reductions in intra-adipose and systemic inflammation in the high fat-fed state, enhanced browning of subcutaneous fat, and increased adipose expression of GLUT4. Taken together, the data indicate that IRF3 is a major transcriptional regulator of adipose inflammation and is involved in maintaining systemic glucose and energy homeostasis.

Project description:Obesity-induced inflammation causes metabolic dysfunction, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that the innate immune transcription factor interferon regulatory factor (IRF3) adversely affects glucose homeostasis through induction of the endogenous FAHFA hydrolase androgen induced gene 1 (AIG1) in adipocytes. Adipocyte-specific knockout of IRF3 protects mice against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, whereas overexpression of IRF3 or AIG1 in adipocytes promotes insulin resistance on a high-fat diet. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of AIG1 reversed obesity-induced insulin resistance and restored glucose homeostasis in the setting of adipocyte IRF3 overexpression. We, therefore, identify the adipocyte IRF3/AIG1 axis as a crucial link between obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance and suggest an approach for limiting the metabolic dysfunction accompanying obesity. ## File Key ### MS-ABPP The following raw files were acquired on an Eclipse instrument in triplicate with two concentrations of inhibitor in both brain and kidney. These variables are encoded in the file names. Associated analysis pipeline files from CIMAGE are provided for each raw file (same file name, with a .raw_output_rt_10_sn_2.5.to_excel extension). - brain_conc1.0_rep1.raw - brain_conc1.0_rep2.raw - brain_conc1.0_rep3.raw - brain_conc10.0_rep1.raw - brain_conc10.0_rep2.raw - brain_conc10.0_rep3.raw - kidney_conc1.0_rep1.raw - kidney_conc1.0_rep2.raw - kidney_conc1.0_rep3.raw - kidney_conc10.0_rep1.raw - kidney_conc10.0_rep2.raw - kidney_conc10.0_rep3.raw ### TMT Dose Response The following raw files were acquired on an Eclipse instrument instrument in both brain and white adipose tissues: - brain_dose_response.raw - wat_dose_response.raw The TMT channels were organized as follows: - DMSO channels: 1, 3, 5 - ABD-110 @ 0.001 μM: 7, 9, 11 - ABD-110 @ 0.01 μM: 2, 4, 6 - ABD-110 @ 0.1 μM: 13, 15, 17 - ABD-110 @ 1 μM: 8, 10, 12 - ABD-110 @ 10 μM: 14, 16, 18 Associated analysis pipeline files after IDFilter run are provided for each file (same file name, with a _filtered_matches suffix and an .idXML extension). ### PRM AIG1 In Vivo Target Engagement The A prefix before the replicate number refers to treatment with ABD-110, whereas the V prefix refers to vehicle treatment. Diet and tissue type are also encoded in the filename. The following files were acquired on a Lumos instrument, with 5 replicates for each condition (as noted in square brackets).
