Mutation in the distal NPxY motif of LRP1 alleviates dietary cholesterol-induced dyslipidemia and tissue inflammation.

ABSTRACT: The impairment of LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) in numerous cell types is associated with obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease. Here, we compared the metabolic phenotype of C57BL/6J wild-type and LRP1 knock-in mice carrying an inactivating mutation in the distal NPxY motif after feeding a low-fat diet or high-fat (HF) diet with cholesterol supplementation (HFHC) or HF diet without cholesterol supplementation. In response to HF feeding, both groups developed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, increased adiposity, and adipose tissue inflammation and liver steatosis. However, LRP1 NPxY mutation prevents HFHC diet-induced hypercholesterolemia, reduces adipose tissue and brain inflammation, and limits liver progression to steatohepatitis. Nevertheless, this mutation does not protect against HFHC diet-induced insulin resistance. The selective metabolic improvement observed in HFHC diet-fed LRP1 NPxY mutant mice is due to an apparent increase of hepatic LDL receptor levels, leading to an elevated rate of plasma lipoprotein clearance and lower hepatic cholesterol levels. The unique metabolic phenotypes displayed by LRP1 NPxY mutant mice indicate an LRP1-cholesterol axis in modulating tissue inflammation. The LRP1 NPxY mutant mouse phenotype differs from phenotypes observed in mice with tissue-specific LRP1 inactivation, thus highlighting the importance of an integrative approach to evaluate how global LRP1 dysfunction contributes to metabolic disease development.

Project description:ObjectiveBacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide)-mediated sepsis involves dysregulated systemic inflammation, which injures the lung and other organs, often fatally. Vascular endothelial cells act as both targets and mediators of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses. Dysfunction of endothelium results in increases of proinflammatory cytokine production and permeability leakage. BMPER (bone morphogenetic protein-binding endothelial regulator), an extracellular modulator of bone morphogenetic protein signaling, has been identified as a vital component in chronic endothelial inflammatory responses and atherosclerosis. However, it is unclear whether BMPER also regulates inflammatory response in an acute setting such as sepsis. To address this question, we investigated the role of BMPER during lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.Approach and resultsMice missing 1 allele of BMPER (BMPER+/- mice used in the place of BMPER-/- mice that die at birth) were used for lipopolysaccharide challenge. Lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation and injury was reduced in BMPER+/- mice as shown by several measures, including survival rate, infiltration of inflammatory cells, edema, and production of proinflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, we have demonstrated that BMPER is required and sufficient for the activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells c1. This BMPER-induced nuclear factor of activated T cells activation is coordinated by multiple signaling pathways, including bone morphogenetic protein-independent low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1-extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation, calcineurin signaling, and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1β-mediated nuclear factor 45 nuclear export in response to BMPER treatment.ConclusionsWe conclude that BMPER plays a pivotal role in pulmonary inflammatory response, which provides new therapeutic options against sepsis shock. The new signaling pathway initiated by BMPER/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 axis broadens our understanding about BMPER's role in vascular homeostasis.
