Autophagy Ablation in Adipocytes Induces Insulin Resistance and Reveals Roles for Lipid Peroxide and Nrf2 Signaling in Adipose-Liver Crosstalk.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy is a homeostatic cellular process involved in the degradation of long-lived or damaged cellular components. The role of autophagy in adipogenesis is well recognized, but its role in mature adipocyte function is largely unknown. We show that the autophagy proteins Atg3 and Atg16L1 are required for proper mitochondrial function in mature adipocytes. In contrast to previous studies, we found that post-developmental ablation of autophagy causes peripheral insulin resistance independently of diet or adiposity. Finally, lack of adipocyte autophagy reveals cross talk between fat and liver, mediated by lipid peroxide-induced Nrf2 signaling. Our data reveal a role for autophagy in preventing lipid peroxide formation and its transfer in insulin-sensitive peripheral tissues.

Project description:Background and purposeIL-1β produced by macrophages via the NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, mediates the inflammatory crosstalk between macrophages and adipocytes. In our previous study, (16S,20S,24R)-12β-acetoxy-16,23-epoxy-24,25-dihydroxy-3β-(β-D-xylopyranosyloxy)-9,19-cyclolanost-22(23)-ene (AEDC), a cycloartane triterpenoid isolated from Actaea vaginata (Ranunculaceae), was found to possess anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-treated RAW264.7 macrophages. This study was designed to investigate whether AEDC modulates macrophage-adipocyte crosstalk to alleviate adipose tissue inflammation.Experimental approachThe anti-inflammatory effect of AEDC was evaluated on LPS plus ATP-induced THP-1 macrophages and C57BL/6J mice. The expression of autophagy-related and NLRP3 inflammasome complex proteins was analysed by western blots, immunofluorescence staining and co-immunoprecipitation. The pro-inflammatory cytokines levels were determined by ELISA kits. The adipose tissue inflammation was evaluated by histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining.Key resultsAEDC (5 and 10 μM) activated autophagy, which in turn suppressed the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion in THP-1 macrophages. AEDC increased the expression of SIRT3 deacetylase and enhanced its deacetylating activity to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and activate AMP-activated protein kinase, which together induced autophagy. Moreover, AEDC (10 μM) attenuated macrophage conditioned medium-induced inflammatory responses in adipocytes and blocked THP-1 macrophages migration towards 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In inflammation mice, AEDC (5 and 20 mg·kg-1 ) treatment reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum and epididymal adipose tissue and reduced macrophage infiltration to alleviate adipose tissue inflammation.Conclusion and implicationsAEDC attenuated the inflammatory crosstalk between macrophages and adipocytes through SIRT3-autophagy-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition, which might used for the treatment of adipose tissue inflammation-related metabolic disorders.
