Protein Phosphatase 1 Regulatory Subunit 3B Genotype at rs4240624 Has a Major Effect on Gallbladder Bile Composition.

ABSTRACT: The protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3B (PPP1R3B) gene is a target of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which is a major regulator of bile acid metabolism. Both PPP1R3B and FXR have been suggested to take part in glycogen metabolism, which may explain the association of PPP1R3B gene variants with altered hepatic computed tomography attenuation. We analyzed the effect of PPP1R3B rs4240624 variant on bile acid composition in individuals with obesity. The study cohort consisted of 242 individuals from the Kuopio Obesity Surgery Study (73 men, 169 women, age 47.6 ± 9.0 years, body mass index 43.2 ± 5.4 kg/m²) with PPP1R3B genotype and liver RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data available. Fasting plasma and gallbladder bile samples were collected from 50 individuals. Bile acids in plasma did not differ based on the PPP1R3B rs4240624 genotype. However, the concentration of total bile acids (109 ± 55 vs. 35 ± 19 mM; P = 1.0 × 10^-5) and all individual bile acids (also 7?-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one [C4]) measured from bile were significantly lower in those with the AG genotype compared to those with the AA genotype. In addition, total cholesterol (P = 0.011) and phospholipid (P = 0.001) levels were lower in individuals with the AG genotype, but cholesterol saturation index did not differ, indicating that the decrease in cholesterol and phospholipid levels was secondary to the change in bile acids. Liver RNA-seq data demonstrated that expression of PPP1R3B, tankyrase (TNKS), Homo sapiens chromosome 8 clone RP11-10A14.5 (AC022784.1 [LOC157273]), Homo sapiens chromosome 8 clone RP11-375N15.1 (AC021242.1), and Homo sapiens chromosome 8, clone RP11-10A14 (AC022784.6) associated with the PPP1R3B genotype. In addition, genes enriched in transmembrane transport and phospholipid binding pathways were associated with the genotype. Conclusion: The rs4240624 variant in PPP1R3B has a major effect on the composition of gallbladder bile. Other transcripts in the same loci may be important mediators of the variant effect.

Project description:Background & aimsAs the composition of the bile acid (BA) pool has a major impact on liver pathophysiology, we studied its regulation by the BA receptor Takeda G protein coupled receptor (TGR5), which promotes hepatoprotection against BA overload.MethodsWild-type, total and hepatocyte-specific TGR5-knockout, and TGR5-overexpressing mice were used in: partial (66%) and 89% extended hepatectomies (EHs) upon normal, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)- or cholestyramine (CT)-enriched diet, bile duct ligation (BDL), cholic acid (CA)-enriched diet, and TGR5 agonist (RO) treatments. We thereby studied the impact of TGR5 on: BA composition, liver injury, regeneration and survival. We also performed analyses on the gut microbiota (GM) and gallbladder (GB). Liver BA composition was analysed in patients undergoing major hepatectomy.ResultsThe TGR5-KO hyperhydrophobic BA composition was not directly related to altered BA synthesis, nor to TGR5-KO GM dysbiosis, as supported by hepatocyte-specific KO mice and co-housing experiments, respectively. The TGR5-dependent control of GB dilatation was crucial for BA composition, as determined by experiments including RO treatment and/or cholecystectomy. The poor TGR5-KO post-EH survival rate, related to exacerbated peribiliary necrosis and BA overload, was improved by shifting BAs toward a less toxic composition (CT treatment). After either BDL or a CA-enriched diet with or without cholecystectomy, we found that GB dilatation had strong TGR5-dependent hepatoprotective properties. In patients, a more hydrophobic liver BA composition was correlated with an unfavourable outcome after hepatectomy.ConclusionsBA composition is crucial for hepatoprotection in mice and humans. We indicate TGR5 as a key regulator of BA profile and thereby as a potential hepatoprotective target under BA overload conditions.Lay summaryThrough multiple in vivo experimental approaches in mice, together with a patient study, this work brings some new light on the relationships between biliary homeostasis, gallbladder function, and liver protection. We showed that hepatic bile acid composition is crucial for optimal liver repair, not only in mice, but also in human patients undergoing major hepatectomy.

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of liver damage and has a strong genetic component. The rs4841132 G>A variant, modulating the expression of protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3B (PPP1R3B), which is involved in glycogen synthesis, has been reported to reduce the risk of NAFLD but at the same time may favor liver disease by facilitating glycogen accumulation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of rs4841132 on development of histologic steatosis and fibrosis in 1,388 European individuals in a liver biopsy cohort, on NAFLD hepatocellular carcinoma in a cross-sectional Italian cohort (n = 132 cases), and on liver disease at the population level in the United Kingdom Biobank cohort. We investigated the underlying mechanism by examining the impact of the variant on gene expression profiles. In the liver biopsy cohort, the rs4841132 minor A allele was associated with protection against steatosis (odds ratio [OR], 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42-0.95; P = 0.03) and clinically significant fibrosis (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14-0.87; P = 0.02) and with reduced circulating cholesterol (P = 0.02). This translated into protection against hepatocellular carcinoma development (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.07-0.70; P = 0.01). At the population level, the rs4841132 variation was not associated with nonalcoholic or nonviral diseases of the liver but was associated with lower cholesterol (P = 1.7 × 10-8). In individuals with obesity, the A allele protecting against steatosis was associated with increased PPP1R3B messenger RNA expression and activation of lipid oxidation and with down-regulation of pathways related to lipid metabolism, inflammation, and cell cycle. Conclusion: The rs4841132 A allele is associated with protection against hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in individuals at high risk of NAFLD but not in the general population and against dyslipidemia. The mechanism may be related to modulation of PPP1R3B expression and hepatic lipid metabolism. (Hepatology Communications 2018;2:666-675).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Abnormal calcium (Ca2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Increased phosphorylation of 2 proteins essential for normal SR-Ca2+ cycling, the type-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and phospholamban (PLN), enhances the susceptibility to AF, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) limits steady-state phosphorylation of both RyR2 and PLN. Proteomic analysis uncovered a novel PP1-regulatory subunit (PPP1R3A [PP1 regulatory subunit type 3A]) in the RyR2 macromolecular channel complex that has been previously shown to mediate PP1 targeting to PLN. We tested the hypothesis that reduced PPP1R3A levels contribute to AF pathogenesis by reducing PP1 binding to both RyR2 and PLN. METHODS:Immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and complexome profiling were performed from the atrial tissue of patients with AF and from cardiac lysates of wild-type and Pln-knockout mice. Ppp1r3a-knockout mice were generated by CRISPR-mediated deletion of exons 2 to 3. Ppp1r3a-knockout mice and wild-type littermates were subjected to in vivo programmed electrical stimulation to determine AF susceptibility. Isolated atrial cardiomyocytes were used for Stimulated Emission Depletion superresolution microscopy and confocal Ca2+ imaging. RESULTS:Proteomics identified the PP1-regulatory subunit PPP1R3A as a novel RyR2-binding partner, and coimmunoprecipitation confirmed PPP1R3A binding to RyR2 and PLN. Complexome profiling and Stimulated Emission Depletion imaging revealed that PLN is present in the PPP1R3A-RyR2 interaction, suggesting the existence of a previously unknown SR nanodomain composed of both RyR2 and PLN/sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase-2a macromolecular complexes. This novel RyR2/PLN/sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase-2a complex was also identified in human atria. Genetic ablation of Ppp1r3a in mice impaired binding of PP1 to both RyR2 and PLN. Reduced PP1 targeting was associated with increased phosphorylation of RyR2 and PLN, aberrant SR-Ca2+ release in atrial cardiomyocytes, and enhanced susceptibility to pacing-induced AF. Finally, PPP1R3A was progressively downregulated in the atria of patients with paroxysmal and persistent (chronic) AF. CONCLUSIONS:PPP1R3A is a novel PP1-regulatory subunit within the RyR2 channel complex. Reduced PPP1R3A levels impair PP1 targeting and increase phosphorylation of both RyR2 and PLN. PPP1R3A deficiency promotes abnormal SR-Ca2+ release and increases AF susceptibility in mice. Given that PPP1R3A is downregulated in patients with AF, this regulatory subunit may represent a new target for AF therapeutic strategies.
