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. We found that supplemental 17β-estradiol (E2) could decrease periprostatic WAT inflammation in obese male mice in association with reduction in weight and calorie consumption. Here, we tested the hypothesis that calorie restriction alone would have similar effects on periprostatic WAT inflammation in obese male mice. To test this hypothesis, male mice were fed high fat diet to induce obesity and then switched to a 30% caloric restriction diet for an addition 7 weeks until sacrifice. LFD fed mice and mice fed HFD ad libitum serve as controls.

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:Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation that can contribute to the development of insulin resistance in mammals. Previous studies have identified interleukin (IL)-12 as a critical upstream regulator of WAT inflammation and metabolic dysfunction during obesity, however, the cell types and mechanisms that initiate WAT IL-12 production remain unclear. Analysis of mouse and human WAT single cell transcriptomic datasets, IL-12 reporter mice, and IL-12p70 protein levels by ELISA identified activated conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) as the cellular source of WAT IL-12 during diet-induced obesity. cDC1s were required for the development of obesity-associated inflammation by increasing group 1 innate lymphocyte interferon (IFN)-γ production and inflammatory macrophage accumulation. Inducible depletion of cDC1s increased WAT insulin sensitivity and systemic glucose tolerance during diet-induced obesity. Endocytosis of apoptotic bodies containing self-DNA by WAT cDC1 drove STING-dependent IL-12 production. Together, these results suggest that WAT cDC1s act as critical regulators of adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic homeostasis during obesity.

Project description:Low-grade, sustained inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT) characterizes obesity and frequently coincides with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, pharmacological targeting of WAT inflammation lacks durable therapeutic effects. Through a computational screen, we identified the FDA-approved rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin is a putative small molecule for obesity treatment. We discovered that allometrically scaled safe auranofin doses homed to WAT and improved insulin sensitivity in obese wild-type mice. To assess the transcriptional changes underlying the beneficial effects of auranofin, we performed RNA-seq analysis on adipose and liver tissue after 4 weeks of treatment with vehicle or auranofin.

Project description:Chronic low-grade visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome in obesity. Here, we demonstrate that a subpopulation of adipose tissue perivascular (PDGFRb+) cells, termed “fibro-inflammatory progenitors” (FIPs), activate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades shortly after the onset of high-fat diet feeding of mice and regulate pro-inflammatory macrophage accumulation in WAT in a TLR4-dependent manner. FIPs activation in obesity is mediated by the downregulation of ZFP423, identified here as a transcriptional co-regulator of NFkB. Biochemical analysis of ZFP423-protein complexes and ChIP-seq analysis reveal that ZFP423 suppresses the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit of NFkB by inducing a p300 to NuRD co-regulator switch. Doxycycline-inducible expression of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells suppresses inflammatory signaling in FIPs and attenuates metabolic inflammation of visceral WAT in obesity. Inducible inactivation of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells increases FIP activity, exacerbates adipose macrophage accrual, and promotes WAT dysfunction. These studies implicate perivascular mesenchymal cells as important regulators of chronic adipose tissue inflammation in obesity and identify ZFP423 as a transcriptional break on NFkB signaling.

Project description:Chronic white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation has been recognized as a critical early event in the pathogenesis of obesity-related disorders. This process is characterized by the increased residency of proinflammatory M1 macrophages in WAT. However, the lack of an isogenic human macrophage-adipocyte model has limited biological studies and drug discovery efforts, highlighting the need for human stem cell-based approaches. Here, human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived macrophages (iMACs) and adipocytes (iADIPOs) are cocultured in a microphysiological system (MPS). iMACs migrate toward and infiltrate into the 3D iADIPOs cluster to form crown-like structures (CLSs)-like morphology around damaged iADIPOs, recreating classic histological features of WAT inflammation seen in obesity. Significantly more CLS-like morphologies formed in aged and palmitic acid-treated iMAC-iADIPO-MPS, showing the ability to mimic inflammatory severity. Importantly, M1 (proinflammatory) but not M2 (tissue repair) iMACs induced insulin resistance and dysregulated lipolysis in iADIPOs. Both RNAseq and cytokines analyses revealed a reciprocal proinflammatory loop in the interactions of M1 iMACs and iADIPOs. Our iMAC-iADIPO-MPS thus successfully recreates pathological conditions of chronically inflamed human WAT, allowing us to study the dynamic inflammatory progression and identify clinically relevant therapies.

Project description:Chronic low-grade visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome in obesity. Here, we demonstrate that a specific subpopulation of adipose tissue perivascular (PDGFRb+) stromal cells, termed “fibro-inflammatory progenitors” (FIPs), activate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades shortly after the onset of high-fat diet feeding of mice and control the accumulation of pro-inflammatory macrophages in WAT. The activation of FIPs is mediated by the downregulation of ZFP423, identified here as a transcriptional co-regulator of NFkB. Biochemical analysis of ZFP423-protein complexes and ChIP-seq analysis reveal that ZFP423 suppresses the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit of NFkB by inducing a co-regulator switch. Doxycycline-inducible expression of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells suppresses inflammatory signaling in FIPs and attenuates macrophage accumulation within visceral WAT of obese mice. Conversely, inducible inactivation of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells increases FIP activity, exacerbates adipose macrophage accrual, and promotes WAT dysfunction in obese mice. These studies implicate mural cells as sentinels and gatekeepers of adipose tissue inflammation in obesity.

Project description:A high fat diet and obesity have been linked to the development of metabolic dysfunction and the promotion of multiple cancers in mice and men. The causative cellular signals are multifactorial and not completely understood. Previous studies have shown that metabolic dysfunction leads to activation of the AKT and PKC pathways. Both signaling pathways are inhibited by the dual specificity phosphatase, INPP4B, which dephosphorylates PI(3,4)P2, an activator of AKT, and PI(4,5)P2, an activator of the PLC/PKC pathway. We established that INPP4B signaling protects mice from metabolic dysfunction. Inpp4b-/- male mice had accelerated activation of SREBF1 in liver which, along with the high fat diet, caused increased expression and activity of PPARG and other lipogenic pathways leading non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type II diabetes, expansion and inflammation of WAT, and systemic and localized prostate inflammation that drives the development of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN).

Project description:Diet-induced obesity is characterized by macrophage (MΦ) infiltration and low-grade chronic inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT) leading to insulin resistance. WAT MΦ are highly heterogeneous in their origin, patterns of gene expression and activities: unlike infiltrating monocyte-derived MΦ that promote inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, tissue-resident WAT MΦ originally described as ‘M2’ are phenotypically anti-inflammatory and counteract obesity and insulin resistance. Despite the critical role of the balance between these MΦ populations in metabolic homeostasis, the molecular mechanisms and key players that establish the resident MΦ transcription program are poorly understood. We recently reported that glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-interacting protein (GRIP)1 - a nuclear receptor coactivator - cooperates with GR to repress transcription of inflammatory genes. Here, using mice conditionally lacking GRIP1 in MΦ (cKO), we show that GRIP1 promotes MΦ polarization in response to IL4 (M2(IL4)) via a nuclear receptor-independent pathway by serving as a coactivator for Kruppel-like factor (KLF)4 – a critical driver of tissue MΦ differentiation. Interestingly, in vivo, GRIP1 cKO mice challenged with high-fat diet develop massive MΦ infiltration and chronic inflammation in WAT and liver, fatty livers, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance consistent with metabolic syndrome phenotype. Together, our findings identify GRIP1 as a critical regulator of immunometabolism, which relies on distinct transcriptional mechanisms to coordinate the balance between MΦ populations in vivo thereby protecting mice from obesity-induced metabolic disease.

Project description:The circadian clock component REVERBα is considered a dominant regulator of lipid metabolism, with global Reverbα deletion driving dysregulation of white adipose tissue (WAT) lipogenesis and obesity. However, a similar phenotype is not observed under adipocyte-selective deletion (ReverbαFlox2-6AdipoCre), and transcriptional profiling demonstrates that, under basal conditions, direct targets of REVERBα regulation are limited, and include the circadian clock and collagen dynamics. Under high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, ReverbαFlox2-6AdipoCre mice do manifest profound obesity, yet without the accompanying WAT inflammation and fibrosis exhibited by controls. Integration of the WAT REVERBα cistrome with differential gene expression reveals broad control of metabolic processes by REVERBα which is unmasked in the obese state.
