Project description:Recent studies have identified intracellular metabolism as a fundamental determinant of macrophage function. In obesity, proinflammatory macrophages accumulate in adipose tissue and trigger chronic low-grade inflammation, that promotes the development of systemic insulin resistance, yet changes in their intracellular energy metabolism are currently unknown. We therefore set out to study metabolic signatures of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) in lean and obese conditions. F4/80-positive ATMs were isolated from obese vs lean mice. High-fat feeding of wild-type mice and myeloid-specific Hif1α-/- mice was used to examine the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in ATMs part of obese adipose tissue. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages were co-cultured with adipose tissue explants to examine adipose tissue-induced changes in macrophage phenotypes. Transcriptome analysis, real-time flux measurements, ELISA and several other approaches were used to determine the metabolic signatures and inflammatory status of macrophages. In addition, various metabolic routes were inhibited to determine their relevance for cytokine production. Transcriptome analysis and extracellular flux measurements of mouse ATMs revealed unique metabolic rewiring in obesity characterised by both increased glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Similar metabolic activation of CD14+ cells in obese individuals was associated with diabetes outcome. These changes were not observed in peritoneal macrophages from obese vs lean mice and did not resemble metabolic rewiring in M1-primed macrophages. Instead, metabolic activation of macrophages was dose-dependently induced by a set of adipose tissue-derived factors that could not be reduced to leptin or lactate. Using metabolic inhibitors, we identified various metabolic routes, including fatty acid oxidation, glycolysis and glutaminolysis, that contributed to cytokine release by ATMs in lean adipose tissue. Glycolysis appeared to be the main contributor to the proinflammatory trait of macrophages in obese adipose tissue. HIF-1α, a key regulator of glycolysis, nonetheless appeared to play no critical role in proinflammatory activation of ATMs during early stages of obesity. Our results reveal unique metabolic activation of ATMs in obesity that promotes inflammatory cytokine release. Further understanding of metabolic programming in ATMs will most likely lead to novel therapeutic targets to curtail inflammatory responses in obesity.

Project description:Obesity is associated with an increased incidence of high grade prostate cancer (PC) and worse prognosis for PC patients. Recently, we showed in men that obesity-related periprostatic white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation, characterized by macrophages surrounding dead or dying adipocytes forming crown-like structures, was associated with high grade PC. Possibly, interventions that suppress periprostatic WAT inflammation will improve outcomes for men with PC. Prior to testing interventions we conducted this study to identify transcriptomic differences in periprostatic fat from lean and obese mice. We hypothesized that periprostatic fat from obese mice would have a proinflammatory signature in gene expression pattern. To test our hypothesis that obese mice would develop molecular signatures of inflammation in periprostatic fat, we fed mice low fat diet or high fat diet for 12 weeks and then harvested periprostatic fat at sacrifice. RNA was isolated and analyzed from 5 lean and 5 obese mice and analyzed by microarray.

Project description:Purpose: To profile the transcriptomes of omental adipose tissues from obese and lean humans. Methods: Omental adipose tissues from obese and lean patients were subjected to RNA-Seq. Results: Differential expression analysis identified 206 dysregulated genes (p-value < 0.05 by moderated t-test and fold change M-bM-^IM-% 2 in obesity) that are known to be involved in a multitude of functions, including response to stress, inflammatory response and leukocyte adhesion. Differential splicing analysis uncovered the possible role of TLR4 RNA splicing in obesity. Our findings suggest that, as a person experiences weight gain/obesity, the adipose splicing pattern of TLR4 transcripts changes in favor of activation of TLR4 signaling, which in turn may contribute to the progression of obesity-related inflammation and complications. Conclusion: This study provides a look into the transcriptome of disease-state adipose tissue in obesity, and demonstrates the potential importance of aberrant RNA splicing and expression in obesity-associated immune dysregulation. Study design is of cross-sectional nature. Seven samples (three obese and four lean) were analyzed.

Project description:Recently white adipose tissues (WAT) have been shown to be able to generate heat upon cold exposure through the expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), a molecule regulating mitochondrial proton gradient. Although the role of UCP1 has been extensively investigated in adipocytes, it is currently unknown whether UCP1 in the microenvironment of WAT such as adipose-tissue macrophages (ATM) could play a role in thermogenesis. Given the critical role of hypoxia in regulating obesity and insulin resistance, we challenged our myeloid-specific hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (Hif-1α) knockout (KO) mice to high fat diet and observed that these mice were not only protected from diet-induced obesity but also resistant to the body temperature changes upon cold exposure, the latter effect being completely lost upon surgical removal of WAT. Mechanistically, ATM deficient for HIF-1α generated heat production through increased expression of UCP1 and increased mitochondrial functions, all of which lead to an enhanced lipolysis in neighboring adipocytes. Lastly, we observed a number of co-localized areas between UCP-1 and CD68 in WAT of lean mice as well as individuals whereas such areas were not observed in an obese mice or human subjects. In conclusion, we demonstrate a novel mechanism by which ATM regulate obesity through UCP1-mediated heat generation.

Project description:The accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In contrast, individuals with increased subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) without corresponding increases in VAT are associated with a metabolic healthy obese phenotype. These observations implicate dysfunctional VAT as a driver of disease processes, warranting investigation into obesity-induced alterations of distinct adipose depots. To determine the effects of obesity on adipose gene expression, mice were fed either a high fat or normal laboratory diet for 12-14 months. Mesenteric VAT and hindlimb SAT were isolated from four lean controls and four obese mice for bulk RNA- sequencing. AT from lean controls served as a reference to obesity-induced changes. The long-term high fat diet induced the expression of 169 and 814 unique genes in SAT and VAT, respectively. SAT from obese mice exhibited a total of 308 differentially expressed genes (164 upregulated, 144 downregulated). VAT from obese mice exhibited 690 differentially expressed genes (262 genes upregulated, 428 downregulated). KEGG pathway and GO analyses revealed that metabolic pathways were upregulated in SAT vs. downregulated in VAT while inflammatory signaling was upregulated in VAT. We next determined common genes that were differentially regulated between SAT and VAT in response to obesity and identified four genes that exhibited this profile: elovl6 and kcnj15 were upregulated in SAT/downregulated in VAT while trdn and hspb7 were downregulated in SAT/ upregulated in VAT. We propose that these genes in particular should be further pursued to determine their roles in SAT vs. VAT with obesity.
