Wildtype and NRP1 knockout macrophages

ABSTRACT: Obesity gives rise to metabolic complications by mechanisms that are poorly understood. While chronic inflammatory signaling in adipose tissue is typically associated with metabolic deficiencies linked to excessive weight gain, we identified a subset of NRP1-expressing myeloid cells that accumulate in adipose tissue and protect against obesity and metabolic syndrome. Ablation of NRP1 in macrophages compromised lipid uptake in these cells, which reduced substrates for fatty acid β-oxidation and shifted energy metabolism of these macrophages towards a more inflammatory glycolytic metabolism. Conditional deletion of NRP1 in LysM Cre-expressing cells lead to inadequate adipose vascularization, accelerated weight gain and reduced insulin sensitivity even independent of weight gain. Transfer of NRP1+ hematopoietic cells improved glucose homeostasis, resulting in the reversal of a prediabetic phenotype. Our findings suggest a pivotal role for adipose tissue resident NRP1+-expressing macrophages in driving healthy weight gain and maintaining glucose tolerance.

The effects of moderate weight gain in adipose tissue gene expression in metabolically-normal (MNO) and metabolically-abnormal (MAO) subjects

Project description:Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and increased intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content, which are key risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, a subset of obese people does not develop these metabolic complications. We tested the hypothesis that MNO, but not MAO, people are protected from the adverse metabolic effects of weight gain. To this end, global transcriptional profile in adipose tissue before and after weight gain was evaluated by microarray analyses. We collected subcutaneous adipose tissue samples from MNO (n=11) and MAO (n=7) subjects before and after moderate (~6%) weight gain (total 36 samples). We evaluated the effects of weight gain on adipose tissue gene expression in both MNO and MNO subjects.We used the GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Multiomics reveals persistence of obesity-associated immune cell phenotypes in adipose tissue during weight loss and subsequent weight regain

Project description:Most individuals do not maintain weight loss, and weight regain increases cardio-metabolic risk beyond that of obesity. Adipose inflammation directly contributes to insulin resistance; however, immune-related changes that occur with weight loss and weight regain are not well understood. Single cell RNA-sequencing was completed with CITE-sequencing and biological replicates to profile changes in murine immune subpopulations following obesity, weight loss, and weight cycling. Weight loss normalized glucose tolerance, however, type 2 immune cells did not repopulate adipose following weight loss. Many inflammatory populations persisted with weight loss and increased further following weight regain. Obesity drove T cell exhaustion and broad increases in antigen presentation, lipid handing, and inflammation that persisted with weight loss and weight cycling. This work provides critical groundwork for understanding the immunological causes of weight cycling-accelerated metabolic disease.

Transgenic expression of BEN, a member of TFII-I family, in various murine adipose tissues

Project description:The white adipose organ is composed of both subcutaneous and several intra-abdominal depots. Excess abdominal adiposity is a major risk factor for metabolic disease in rodents and humans, while expansion of subcutaneous fat does not carry the same risks. Brown adipose produces heat as a defense against hypothermia and obesity, and the appearance of brown-like adipocytes within white adipose tissue depots is associated with improved metabolic phenotypes. Thus, understanding the differences in cell biology and function of these different adipose cell types and depots may be critical to the development of new therapies for metabolic disease. Here, we found that BEN, a determination factor of brown fat function. BEN transgenic mice displayed increased energy expenditure, limited weight gain, and improved glucose tolerance in response to a high-fat diet. These results demonstrate that BEN is a cell-autonomous determinant of a brown fat function and thermogenesis.

Metabolically Healthy Obesity is not a Myth: A Case Report

Project description:People with obesity who do not have the metabolic syndrome or components of the metabolic syndrome have been characterized as having metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). However, the existence of MHO has been questioned because people with MHO are at greater risk of developing diabetes and fatal cardiovascular disease than people who are lean and healthy. A 25 year-old woman with rigorously defined MHO (based on normal oral glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity (assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure), plasma triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol, intrahepatic triglyceride content and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) was evaluated at baseline (BMI=37.7 kg/m2) and 5 years later, after gaining 30.8 kg (32%) in weight (BMI=49.6 kg/m2). The increase in weight was comprised of an 8.8 kg (20%) increase in FFM, 22.0 kg (42%) increase in total body fat, 8.1 kg (37%) increase in leg fat mass, 57% increase in subcutaneous abdominal fat and a 78% in intra-abdominal fat. Weight gain did not have adverse effects on fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance, beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, plasma triglyceride, intrahepatic triglyceride content and CIMT. Adipose tissue expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix formation did not change. Adipose tissue expression of several inflammation-related genes increased by more than 30%, but was not associated with a corresponding increase in plasma cytokine concentrations, with the exception of an increase in plasma IL-6. The present case study demonstrates that some people with obesity are resistant to the adverse cardiometabolic effects of excess adiposity and marked weight gain.

LncRNA U90926 is dispensable for the development of obesity-associated phenotypes in vivo

Project description:Obesity is a global health problem, which is characterized by the excessive fat accumulation or adiposity in the body and associated with other chronic metabolic disorders. Excess energy induces adipogenesis and lipid accumulation inside the existing adipocytes during obesity, which involves transcriptional changes and regulation. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in regulation of adipogenesis and adipose tissue function. Mouse lncRNA U90926 was previously identified as a repressor of in vitro adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Based on this, we hypothesized that U90926 may repress weight gain and adiposity in vivo. To test the hypothesis, we leveraged U90926-deficient (U9-KO) mice, which we recently generated, with a generalized high-throughput phenotyping pipeline and focused follow-up phenotyping experiments. Compared with WT, U9-KO mice showed no major differences across a wide range of behavioral, neurological, and other physiological parameters. In mice fed a standard diet, we have found no differences in obesity-related phenotypes such as weight gain, fat mass accumulation, and plasma concentration of glucose, insulin, triglycerides, and free fatty acids in U9-KO mice in comparison with WT. U90926 deficiency did not have a major effect on perigonadal white adipose tissue morphology and gene expression profile. Furthermore, in mice fed a high fat diet, we found increased expression of U90926, yet no effect of U90926 deficiency on weight gain, fat mass, adipogenesis marker expression, and immune cell infiltration into the adipose tissue. Taken together, these data suggest that the lncRNA U90926 lacks an essential role in obesity-related phenotypes as well as adipocyte biology in vivo.

A Macrophage-Collagen Fragment Axis Mediates Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Remodeling

Project description:Efficient collagen degradation is essential for adaptive subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) expansion that protects against ectopic lipid deposition during weight gain. Here, we aimed to further define the mechanism for this collagenolytic process. We show that loss of collagen type-1 (CT1) and increased CT1-fragment levels in expanding SAT are associated with proliferation of resident M2-like macrophages that display increased CD206-mediated engagement in collagen endocytosis compared to chow-fed controls. Blockage of CD206 during acute diet-induced weight gain leads to SAT CT1-fragment accumulation associated with elevated inflammation and fibrosis markers. Moreover, the collagen endocytosis engagement of SAT macrophages is dramatically reduced in obesity along with elevated levels of short collagen fragments. Finally, we show that such fragments provoke M2-macrophage proliferation and fibroinflammatory changes in vitro. Thus, our data delineate the importance of a macrophage-collagen axis in physiological SAT expansion. Further understanding of this process can define novel targets in obesity-related disorders.
