Goliath induces inflammation in obese mice by linking fatty acid β-oxidation to glycolysis

ABSTRACT: Obesity is associated with metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation. However, the obesity-associated metabolic contribution to inflammatory induction remains elusive. Here we show that, compared to lean mice, CD4+ T cells from obese mice exhibit elevated basal levels of fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), which promote T cell glycolysis and thus hyperactivation, leading to enhanced induction of inflammation. Mechanistically, the FAO rate-limiting enzyme carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a) stabilizes the mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase Goliath, which mediates deubiquitination of calcineurin and thus enhances activation of NF-AT signaling, thereby promoting glycolysis and hyperactivation of CD4+ T cells in obesity. We also report the specific GOLIATH inhibitor DC-Gonib32, which blocks this FAO-glycolysis metabolic axis in CD4+ T cells of obese mice and reduces induction of inflammation. Overall, these findings establish a role of a Goliath-bridged FAO-glycolysis axis in mediating CD4+ T cell hyperactivation and thus inflammation in obese mice.

Astragaloside IV alleviates heart failure via activating PPARα to switch glycolysis to fatty acid β-oxidation.

Project description:In heart failure (HF), energy metabolism pathway in cardiac muscle changes from fatty acid β-oxidation to glycolysis. However, the exact mechanism is unknown. Sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+α ATPase (SERCA) expression is downregulated and mitochondrial function is reduced in HF, perhaps partly due to a substantially reduced energy supply for excitation-contraction coupling resulting from a lower fatty acid β-oxidation rate. We investigated whether Astragaloside IV can activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) to stimulate fatty acid β-oxidation and increase cardiac energy production, improving mitochondrial function and the efficiency of SERCA in HF. In pressure overload-induced HF mice and isolated hypertrophic myocardial cells, fatty acid β-oxidation and heart function were substantially strengthened following Astragaloside IV treatment, as demonstrated by the increased expression of PPARα and SERCA2a. In vitro, Astragaloside IV regulated energy metabolism by increasing ATP production and enhancing mitochondrial function, attributable to increased oxygen consumption and slightly increased mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. In HF, Astragaloside IV switched glycolysis to fatty acid β-oxidation, as confirmed by reduced anaerobic glycolysis and an increased oxygen consumption ratio. These results suggest that Astragaloside IV can stimulate fatty acid β-oxidation and improve mitochondrial function, which may present a novel cardioprotective treatment that inhibits the progress of HF.

Metabolic reprogramming from glycolysis to fatty acid uptake and beta-oxidation in platinum-resistant cancer cells.

Project description:Increased glycolysis is considered as a hallmark of cancer. Yet, cancer cell metabolic reprograming during therapeutic resistance development is under-studied. Here, through high-throughput stimulated Raman scattering imaging and single cell analysis, we find that cisplatin-resistant cells exhibit increased fatty acids (FA) uptake, accompanied by decreased glucose uptake and lipogenesis, indicating reprogramming from glucose to FA dependent anabolic and energy metabolism. A metabolic index incorporating glucose derived anabolism and FA uptake correlates linearly to the level of cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) cell lines and primary cells. The increased FA uptake facilitates cancer cell survival under cisplatin-induced oxidative stress by enhancing beta-oxidation. Consequently, blocking beta-oxidation by a small molecule inhibitor combined with cisplatin or carboplatin synergistically suppresses OC proliferation in vitro and growth of patient-derived xenografts in vivo. Collectively, these findings support a rapid detection method of cisplatin-resistance at single cell level and a strategy for treating cisplatin-resistant tumors.

Inflammation and mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation link obesity to early tumor promotion.

Project description:Obesity is associated with increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer, and it is suggested that insulin resistance provides the missing link. Here we demonstrate that under the context of genetic susceptibility, a high fat diet (HFD) predisposes mice with oncogenic K-ras activation to accelerated pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm (PanIN) development. Tumor promotion is closely associated with increased inflammation and abrogation of TNFR1 signaling significantly blocks this process underlining a central role for TNFalpha in obesity-mediated enhancement of PanIN lesions. Interestingly, however, despite increased TNFalpha levels, mice remain insulin sensitive. We show that, while aggravating tumor promotion, a HFD exerts dramatic changes in energy metabolism through enhancement of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, metabolic rates, and expression of genes involved in mitochondrial fatty acid (FA) beta-oxidation that collectively contribute to improved glucose tolerance in these mice. While on one hand these findings provide significant evidence that obesity is linked to tumor promotion in the pancreas, on the other it suggests alterations in inflammatory responses and bioenergetic pathways as the potential underlying cause.

Glycolysis and Fatty Acid Oxidation Inhibition Improves Survival in Glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive adult glioma with a median survival of 14 months. While standard treatments (safe maximal resection, radiation, and temozolomide chemotherapy) have increased the median survival in favorable O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)-methylated GBM (~21 months), a large proportion of patients experience a highly debilitating and rapidly fatal disease. This study examined GBM cellular energetic pathways and blockade using repurposed drugs: the glycolytic inhibitor, namely dicholoroacetate (DCA), and the partial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) inhibitor, namely ranolazine (Rano). Gene expression data show that GBM subtypes have similar glucose and FAO pathways, and GBM tumors have significant upregulation of enzymes in both pathways, compared to normal brain tissue (p < 0.01). DCA and the DCA/Rano combination showed reduced colony-forming activity of GBM and increased oxidative stress, DNA damage, autophagy, and apoptosis in vitro. In the orthotopic Gl261 and CT2A syngeneic murine models of GBM, DCA, Rano, and DCA/Rano increased median survival and induced focal tumor necrosis and hemorrhage. In conclusion, dual targeting of glycolytic and FAO metabolic pathways provides a viable treatment that warrants further investigation concurrently or as an adjuvant to standard chemoradiation for GBM.

PPARα-Deficient ob/ob Obese Mice Become More Obese and Manifest Severe Hepatic Steatosis Due to Decreased Fatty Acid Oxidation.

Project description:Obesity poses an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome and closely associated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including liver cancer. Satiety hormone leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice, considered paradigmatic of nutritional obesity, develop hepatic steatosis but are less prone to developing liver tumors. Sustained activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in ob/ob mouse liver increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which contributes to attenuation of obesity but enhances liver cancer risk. To further evaluate the role of PPARα-regulated hepatic FAO and energy burning in the progression of fatty liver disease, we generated PPARα-deficient ob/ob (PPARα(Δ)ob/ob) mice. These mice become strikingly more obese compared to ob/ob littermates, with increased white and brown adipose tissue content and severe hepatic steatosis. Hepatic steatosis becomes more severe in fasted PPARα(Δ)ob/ob mice as they fail to up-regulate FAO systems. PPARα(Δ)ob/ob mice also do not respond to peroxisome proliferative and mitogenic effects of PPARα agonist Wy-14,643. Although PPARα(Δ)ob/ob mice are severely obese, there was no significant increase in liver tumor incidence, even when maintained on a diet containing Wy-14,643. We conclude that sustained PPARα activation-related increase in FAO in fatty livers of obese ob/ob mice increases liver cancer risk, whereas deletion of PPARα in ob/ob mice aggravates obesity and hepatic steatosis. However, it does not lead to liver tumor development because of reduction in FAO and energy burning.

Fenofibrate simultaneously induces hepatic fatty acid oxidation, synthesis, and elongation in mice.

Project description:A growing body of evidence indicates that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) not merely serves as a transcriptional regulator of fatty acid catabolism but also exerts a much broader role in hepatic lipid metabolism. We determined adaptations in hepatic lipid metabolism and related aspects of carbohydrate metabolism upon treatment of C57Bl/6 mice with the PPARalpha agonist fenofibrate. Stable isotope procedures were applied to assess hepatic fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid elongation, and carbohydrate metabolism. Fenofibrate treatment strongly induced hepatic de novo lipogenesis and chain elongation (+/-300, 150, and 600% for C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1 synthesis, respectively) in parallel with an increased expression of lipogenic genes. The lipogenic induction in fenofibrate-treated mice was found to depend on sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) but not carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP). Fenofibrate treatment resulted in a reduced contribution of glycolysis to acetyl-CoA production, whereas the cycling of glucose 6-phosphate through the pentose phosphate pathway presumably was enhanced. Altogether, our data indicate that beta-oxidation and lipogenesis are induced simultaneously upon fenofibrate treatment. These observations may reflect a physiological mechanism by which PPARalpha and SREBP-1c collectively ensure proper handling of fatty acids to protect the liver against cytotoxic damage.

Acetyl-CoA derived from hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation aggravates inflammation by enhancing p65 acetylation.

Project description:Acetylation coordinates many biological processes to ensure cells respond appropriately to nutrients. However, how acetylation regulates lipid surplus-induced inflammation remains poorly understood. Here, we found that a high-fat diet (HFD) enhanced mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation, which enhanced acetyl-CoA levels in the liver of the large yellow croaker. The HFD activated ACLY to govern the "citrate transport" to transfer acetyl-CoA from the mitochondria to the nucleus. Elevated acetyl-CoA activated CBP to increase p65 acetylation and then aggravated inflammation. SIRT1 was deactivated with a decline in NAD+/NADH, which further aggravated inflammation. Therefore, acetylation-dependent regulation of transcription factor activity is an adaptation to proinflammatory stimuli under nutrient stress, which was also confirmed in AML12 hepatocytes. In vitro octanoate stimulation further verified that acetyl-CoA derived from fatty acid β-oxidation mediated acetylation homeostasis in the nucleus. The broad therapeutic prospects of intermediate metabolites and acetyltransferases/deacetylases might provide critical insights for the treatment of metabolic diseases in vertebrates.

Fatty Acid Metabolites Combine with Reduced β Oxidation to Activate Th17 Inflammation in Human Type 2 Diabetes.

Project description:Mechanisms that regulate metabolites and downstream energy generation are key determinants of T cell cytokine production, but the processes underlying the Th17 profile that predicts the metabolic status of people with obesity are untested. Th17 function requires fatty acid uptake, and our new data show that blockade of CPT1A inhibits Th17-associated cytokine production by cells from people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A low CACT:CPT1A ratio in immune cells from T2D subjects indicates altered mitochondrial function and coincides with the preference of these cells to generate ATP through glycolysis rather than fatty acid oxidation. However, glycolysis was not critical for Th17 cytokines. Instead, β oxidation blockade or CACT knockdown in T cells from lean subjects to mimic characteristics of T2D causes cells to utilize 16C-fatty acylcarnitine to support Th17 cytokines. These data show long-chain acylcarnitine combines with compromised β oxidation to promote disease-predictive inflammation in human T2D.
