GPSM1 impairs metabolic homeostasis by controlling a pro-inflammatory pathway in macrophages.

ABSTRACT: G-protein-signaling modulator 1 (GPSM1) exhibits strong genetic association with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Body Mass Index in population studies. However, how GPSM1 carries out such control and in which types of cells are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that myeloid GPSM1 promotes metabolic inflammation to accelerate T2D and obesity development. Mice with myeloid-specific GPSM1 ablation are protected against high fat diet-induced insulin resistance, glucose dysregulation, and liver steatosis via repression of adipose tissue pro-inflammatory states. Mechanistically, GPSM1 deficiency mainly promotes TNFAIP3 transcription via the Gα_i3/cAMP/PKA/CREB axis, thus inhibiting TLR4-induced NF-κB signaling in macrophages. In addition, we identify a small-molecule compound, AN-465/42243987, which suppresses the pro-inflammatory phenotype by inhibiting GPSM1 function, which could make it a candidate for metabolic therapy. Furthermore, GPSM1 expression is upregulated in visceral fat of individuals with obesity and is correlated with clinical metabolic traits. Overall, our findings identify macrophage GPSM1 as a link between metabolic inflammation and systemic homeostasis.

Project description:BackgroundAcute rejection (AR) in kidney transplantation is an established risk factor that reduces the survival rate of allografts. Despite standard immunosuppression, molecules with regulatory control in the immune pathway of AR can be used as important targets for therapeutic operations to prevent rejection.MethodsWe downloaded the microarray data of 15 AR patients and 37 non-acute rejection (NAR) patients from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Gene network was constructed, and genes were classified into different modules using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Cytoscape were applied for the hub genes in the most related module to AR. Different cell types were explored by xCell online database and single-cell RNA sequencing. We also validated the SLAMF8 and TLR4 levels in Raw264.7 and human kidney tissues of TCMR.ResultsA total of 1,561 differentially expressed genes were filtered. WGCNA was constructed, and genes were classified into 12 modules. Among them, the green module was most closely associated with AR. These genes were significantly enriched in 20 pathway terms, such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling pathway, and other important regulatory processes. Intersection with GS > 0.4, MM > 0.9, the top 10 MCC values and DEGs in the green module, and six hub genes (DOCK2, NCKAP1L, IL2RG, SLAMF8, CD180, and PTPRE) were identified. Their expression levels were all confirmed to be significantly elevated in AR patients in GEO, Nephroseq, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Single-cell RNA sequencing showed that AR patient had a higher percentage of native T, CD1C+_B DC, NKT, NK, and monocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Xcell enrichment scores of 20 cell types were significantly different (p<0.01), mostly immune cells, such as B cells, CD4+ Tem, CD8+ T cells, CD8+ Tcm, macrophages, M1, and monocytes. GSEA suggests that highly expressed six hub genes are correlated with allograft rejection, interferon γ response, interferon α response, and inflammatory response. In addition, SLAMF8 is highly expressed in human kidney tissues of TCMR and in M1 phenotype macrophages of Raw264.7 cell line WGCNA accompanied by high expression of TLR4.ConclusionThis study demonstrates six hub genes and functionally enriched pathways related to AR. SLAMF8 is involved in the M1 macrophages via TLR4, which contributed to AR process.
