Project description:Obesity has been shown to increase risk for cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes. In addition, it has been implicated in aggravation of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s. In the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, a physiological state mimicking diet-induced obesity can be induced by subjecting fruit flies to a solid medium disproportionately higher in sugar than protein (HSD) or that has been supplemented with a rich source of saturated fat (HFD). These flies can exhibit increased circulating glucose levels, increased triglyceride content, insulin-like peptide resistance, and behavior indicative of neurological decline, such as decreased climbing ability. We subjected Oregon-R-C flies to variants of the HSD, HFD, or normal (control) diet (ND), followed by a total RNA extraction from fly heads of each diet group for the purpose of Poly-A selected RNA-Sequencing. We targeted at least 50 million paired-end, stranded reads of 75 basepairs in size, and analyzed 4 biological replicates per dietary condition. Our objective was to identify the effects of obesogenic diets on transcriptome patterns, how they differed between obesogenic diets, and identify genes that may relate to pathogenesis accompanying an obesity-like state. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis among genes whose expression was significantly affected by the obesogenic diets indicated an overrepresentation of genes associated with immunity, metabolism, and hemocyanin in the HFD group, and CHK, cell cycle activity, and DNA binding and transcription in the HSD group. Heat map representation of genes affected by both diets illustrated a large fraction of differentially expressed genes between the two diet groups. Diets high in sugar and diets high in fat both have notableeffects on the Drosophila transcriptome in head tissue. The impacted genes, and how they may relate to pathogenesis in the Drosophila obesity-like state, warrant further experimental investigation. Our results also indicate differences in the effects of the HFD and HSD on expression profiles in head tissue of Oregon-R-C flies, despite the reportedly similar phenotypic impacts of the diets.

Project description:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a global health burden, is strongly associated with age-related renal function decline, hypertension and diabetes, frequent consequences of obesity. Despite extensive studies the mechanisms determining susceptibility to CKD remain elusive. Clinical evidence together with prior studies from our group showed that perinatal metabolic disorders after maternal obesity adversely affect kidney structure and function throughout life. Since obesity and aging processes converge in similar pathways we tested if perinatal obesity induced by High-Fat Diet (HFD)-fed female mice sensitizes aging-associated mechanism in kidneys of newborn mice. Tissue from the kidney cortex and the kidney medulla was collected from offspring of control or HFD-fed mice.

Project description:To investigate whether lncRNAs are involved in intergenerational inheritance of obesity and obesity-induced decline in fertility, we divided mice into obesity (F0 mice fed a high-fat diet, F0-HFD) and non-obese (F0 mice fed normal chow, F0-NC) model groups and their male offspring (F1-HFD and F1-NC, respectively). We examined the differences in the expression levels of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the F0-HFD/F0-normal and F1-HFD/F1-normal groups. The results revealed similar expression patterns in the F1-HFD/F0-HFD groups at both the lncRNA and mRNA levels. The maximum difference in the lncRNA expression was observed between the F0-HFD and F0-NC groups. The differentially expressed lncRNA targets and mRNAs identified in our study are mainly involved in GnRH signalling pathway, metabolic process, and Hippo signalling pathway; similarly expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in F1-HFD/F0-HFD are closely linked with G-protein coupled receptor signalling pathway, pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity, and lysine biosynthesis, which may play an important role in the molecular mechanism of intergenerational inheritance of obesity. Furthermore, potential genes that might play important roles in the pathogenesis of obesity-related low fertility were revealed by lncRNA-and mRNA-interaction studies based on the microarray expression profiles. In conclusion, we found that lncRNA could be involved in obesity-induced infertility by expressing abnormalities, which could act as genetic vectors of paternal inheritance of obesity.

Project description:Activated brown adipose tissue contributes to control of energy and glucose homeostasis in rodents and humans. Defining cell-autonomous processes underlying BAT differentiation and activation may thus reveal novel therapeutic targets for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus intervention. Here we show that ageing- and obesity-associated demises in BAT function coincide with down-regulation of mature microRNAs in BAT in the presence of reduced expression of the critical microRNA processing enzyme Dicer1. To mimic this partial down-regulation of microRNA processing in obesity and ageing, we inactivated one allele of Dicer1 selectively in BAT of mice. BAT- restricted heterozygosity of Dicer1 caused glucose intolerance in lean mice and aggravated diet-induced-obesity (DIO)-evoked deterioration of glucose homeostasis. Using combinatorial analyses of altered microRNA-expression in BAT during in vitro preadipocyte commitment and mouse models of progeria, longevity and DIO, we identified 23 microRNAs dysregulated among these conditions. Of these, we identified miR-328 as a novel regulator of BAT differentiation. miR-328 over-expression promotes BAT-differentiation and impairs muscle progenitor commitment, while reducing miR-328 expression blocks BAT specification. We validated the ß-Secretase Bace1 as a target of miR-328, which is consequently over-expressed in BAT of obese and premature ageing mice. Reducing Bace1 expression enhances brown adipocyte, while impairing myogenic differentiation in vitro. In vivo small-molecule Bace1 inhibition in obese mice delayed DIO-induced weight gain, ameliorated obesity-associated deterioration of glucose metabolism and improved insulin sensitivity. Collectively, these experiments reveal reduced Dicer1-miR-328-Bace1 axis in presence of generalized impairment of microRNA processing in ageing and obesity as a novel determinant of ageing- and obesity-associated decline in BAT function. This may define in vivo Bace1-inhibition as an innovative therapeutic approach to not only target age-related neurodegenerative diseases but at the same time improving age-related impairment of BAT-function and metabolism. C57BL/6 mice ( 4 weeks of age) were treated with a calory-rich, high-sugar high-fat diet (HFD) for a course of 4 weeks. Then groups were stratified and one group continued to receive HFD (BAT13-15) or HFD supplemented with an experimental small-molecule Bace 1 inhibitor (BAT17, 33, 35).

Project description:Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are flavonoids exclusively found in certain citrus fruits and have been reported to be beneficial to human health. Most studies have been conducted with PMFs isolated from citrus peels, while there is no study on PMFs isolated from leaves. In this study, we prepared PMF-rich fraction (PRF) from leaf of Citrus sunki Hort ex. Tanaka (Jinkyool) and investigated whether PRF can improve metabolic decline in obese mice induced by high-fat diet (HFD) for five weeks. HFD induced obese mice were assigned into HFD, OR (HFD + orlistat 15.6 mg/kg of body weight/day), and PRF (HFD + 50, 100, 200 mg/kg of body weight/day) groups. Orlistat and PRE were orally administrated for 5 weeks. At the end of experiment, serum biochemical parameters, histology and protein expression profiles were investigated in the tissues of each group. The body weight gain of obese mice was significantly reduced after orlistat and PRF administration for five weeks. PRE effectively improved HFD-induced insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Histological analysis in liver demonstrated that PRF potentially improved the liver function as it inhibited the incidence of fatty liver. Moreover, PRF increased the phosphorylation of activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in HFD-induced obese mice. Moreover, the liver transcriptome analysis revealed that PRE administration enriched the genes, which were mainly fatty acid metabolism. Overall, these results indicated that PRF exert anti-obesity effect by modulation of lipid metabolism.

Project description:High-fat diet (HFD) in normoxia causes a worsened phenotype in adult female flies compared to regular diet (RD). We used microarrays to examine the transcriptional changes occuring on a HFD compared to RD in normoxia. Adult female Drosophila were collected at d3-5 and placed on RD or HFD and in normoxia for 1 week. Following this week,flies were immediately frozen on dry ice, RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Although there are studies on obesity and sarcopenia, our understanding of obesity-mediated sarcopenia is insufficient. Additionally, no studies have investigated the application of luteolin in sarcopenia. We attempted to determine the effect of luteolin on obese sarcopenia in mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Luteolin exerted suppressive effects on obesity, inflammation, and protein degradation in HFD-fed obese mice. Luteolin inhibited lipid infiltration into the muscle and decreased p38 and JNK activity and mRNA expression of inflammatory factors, such as TNFα, Tlr2, Tlr4, MCP1, and MMP2, in the muscle. Suppression of muscle inflammation by luteolin led to the inhibition of myostatin, FoxO, atrogin, and MuRF expression, which reduced protein degradation and improved muscle function. This is the first study to demonstrate that luteolin exerts a protective effect against obese sarcopenia, as its anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory activities inhibited protein degradation. Therefore, luteolin may be a useful supplement for prevention of obese sarcopenia.

Project description:Despite wide efforts in the last decade, signaling aberrations associated with obesity remain enigmatic. Here, we carried out phosphoproteomic analysis of mouse white adipose tissues (WAT) upon low-fat diet (LFD) and high-fat diet (HFD) to dissect underlying molecular mechanisms of obesity. Of the 7696 phosphopeptides quantified, 191 proteins including various insulin-responsive proteins and metabolic enzymes functioning in lipid homeostasis, exhibited differential phosphorylation with high-fat feeding. Kinase predictions and integrated network analysis identified several deregulated kinase signaling pathways, and suggested possibilities of HFD-induced transcriptional rewiring. Further, functional validation of a novel HFD-responsive site on cytoplasmic acetyl-coA forming ACSS2 (S263) suggested that the phosphorylation is important in regulating insulin signaling and maintaining triglyceride levels. This study represents one of the first comprehensive phosphoproteome data in mouse obesity models, and describes a systems-level approach for identifying deregulated molecular events and potential therapeutic targets in the context of high-fat feeding and adipocyte perturbation.

Project description:In order to understand the chronic hypoxia (CH) effect upon the absence of dystrophin, Drosophila melanogaster wild type and the model for DMD (dmDys), in which all dystrophins expression was knocked out by iRNA, were exposed to high altitude hypoxia (hypobaric hypoxia) during a 16-day climbing period reaching the summit of Mount McKinley (6194 meters above sea level). Furthermore, dmDys and Drosophila wild type were exposed to normobaric hypoxia (hypoxic chamber) following the same oxygen levels observed during the climbing expedition and to normoxic conditions for comparison. Affymetrix GeneChip® profiling was performed for individual flies from each experimental group. CH-dmDys differentially expressed 1281 genes, whereas control group differentially expressed 57 genes. Eight heat shock protein genes detected in the CH-dmDys microarray study were down-regulated, instead of up-regulated as seen in wild type hypoxic flies. This result suggests a differential gene expression response to CH, which could affect muscle performance.These results suggest that dmDys is more sensitive to CH due to reduced muscle function and hypoxic stress response.
