High-fat diet enhances food-seeking behavior via sensitizing hunger-sensing neurons in Drosophila II

ABSTRACT: The function of the central nervous system to regulate food intake can be disrupted by sustained metabolic challenges such as high-fat diet (HFD), which may contribute to the development of various metabolic disorders. In the present study, we found that HFD specifically enhanced food-seeking behavior in fruit flies without altering flies’ baseline metabolism and food consumption. Mechanistically, HFD increased the excitability of a small group of octopaminergic (OA) neurons to a hunger hormone named adipokinetic hormone (AKH), via increasing the accumulation of AKH receptor (AKHR) in these neurons. Upon HFD, excess dietary lipids are transported by a lipoprotein LTP to enter these OA+AKHR+ neurons via the cognate receptor LpR1, which in turn activated AMPK-TOR signaling and suppressed autophagy-dependent degradation of AKHR. Taken together, we uncovered a mechanism that linked HFD, AMPK-TOR signaling, neuronal autophagy, and food-seeking behavior, providing insight in the reshaping of neural circuitry under metabolic challenges and the progression of metabolic diseases.

SAPS3 is an AMPK inhibitor and controls metabolic homeostasis upon dietary challenge

Project description:Inhibition of AMPK is tightly associated with metabolic perturbations upon over nutrition, yet the molecular mechanism underneath that is not clear. Here, we demonstrate serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 6 regulatory subunit 3, SAPS3, is an essential negative regulator of AMPK. SAPS3 is induced under high fat diet (HFD) and recruits the PP6 catalytic subunit to deactivate phosphorylated-AMPK, thereby inhibiting AMPK-controlled metabolic pathways. Remarkably, either whole-body or liver-specific deletion of SAPS3 protects mice against the HFD-induced detrimental consequences and reverses HFD-induced metabolic and transcriptional alterations while loss of SAPS3 has no effects on mice under balanced diets. Furthermore, genetic inhibition of AMPK is sufficient to block the protective phenotype in SAPS3 knockout mice under HFD. Together, our results reveal that SAPS3 is a critical negative regulator of AMPK and suppression of SAPS3 functions as a guardian when metabolism is perturbed and represents a potential therapeutic strategy to treat metabolic syndromes.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of mouse liver tissue and liver cells

Project description:Diets rich in fat is a major cause of common chronic liver diseases in worldwide and nutritional food has been widely used to counteract the metabolic disorders such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The present study investigated the effects of oleuropein-enriched extract from Jasminum grandiflorum L. flowers (OLE-JGF), a medicinal plant that is also widely consumed as a beverage in China, in high fat diet (HFD) fed mice and oleic acid (OA)-treated AML-12 cells. Treatment of HFD-fed mice with 0.6% (w/w) OLE-JGF for 8 weeks significantly reduced the plasma levels of ALT, TC and LDL-C without changing the liver weight. Additionally, OLE-JGF administration significantly suppressed the mRNA expressions of the inflammatory mediators MCP-1 and CD68 in the liver of HFD-fed mice. Importantly, treatment with OLE-JGF significantly downregulated the key lipogenic enzymes (ACC and FAS) and their upstream transcription factor SREBP-1c in the liver. In the same time, mitochondrial DNA and UCP2 were upregulated along with increased expression of mitochondrial biogenic promoters including LKB1 and its downstream gene PGC-1α, Nrf2 and Tfam, but not changed AMPK in liver. In vitro, treatment of OLE for 24 h significantly increased the cell viability and decreased the TG level in OA-induced AML-12 cells. OLE significantly inhibited ACC mRNA expression and upregulated LKB1, PGC-1α and Tfam mRNA levels in OA-treated cells. In addition, OLE significantly increased the binding level of LKB1 to PGC-1α promoter in OA-induced cells. These findings indicate that OLE-JGF attenuates hepatocyte damage in HFD-fed mice and OA-induced liver cells, may be partly attributed to upregulation of LKB1-PGC-1α axis, which mediates hepatic lipogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. Our study provides a scientific basis for the benefits of J. grandiflorum flower as a supplement for met-abolic disease and potential use of OLE for the treatment of chronic liver diseases.

Chronic Activation of γ2 AMPK Induces Obesity and Reduces Beta Cell Function

Project description:Despite significant advances in our understanding of the biology determining systemic energy homeostasis, the treatment of obesity remains a medical challenge. Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed as an attractive strategy for the treatment of obesity and its complications. AMPK is a conserved, ubiquitously expressed, heterotrimeric serine/threonine kinase whose short-term activation has multiple beneficial metabolic effects. Whether these translate into long-term benefits for obesity and its complications is unknown. Here, we observe that mice with chronic AMPK activation, resulting from mutation of the AMPK γ2 subunit, exhibit ghrelin signalling-dependent hyperphagia, obesity and impaired pancreatic islet insulin secretion. Humans bearing the homologous mutation manifest a congruent phenotype. Our studies highlight that long-term AMPK activation can have adverse metabolic consequences with implications for pharmacological strategies seeking to chronically activate AMPK systemically to treat metabolic disease.

Octopamine Enhances Oxidative Stress Resistance Through the Fasting-Responsive Transcription Factor DAF-16/FOXO in C. elegans

Project description:Dietary restriction regimens lead to enhanced stress resistance and extended lifespan in many species through the regulation of fasting and/or diet responsive mechanisms. The fasting stimulus is perceived by sensory neurons and causes behavioral and metabolic adaptations. Several studies have implicated that the nervous system is involved in the regulation of longevity. However, it remains largely unknown whether the nervous system contributes to the regulation of lifespan and/or stress resistance elicited by fasting. In this study, we first investigated the role of the nervous system in fasting-elicited longevity and stress resistance. We found that lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans caused by an intermittent fasting (IF) regimen was suppressed by functional defects in sensory neurons. The IF-induced longevity was also suppressed in a mutant that lacks the enzyme required for the synthesis of an amine neurotransmitter, octopamine (OA), which acts in the absence of food, i.e., under fasting conditions. Although OA administration did not significantly extend the lifespan, it enhanced organismal resistance to oxidative stress. This enhanced resistance was suppressed by a mutation of the OA receptors, SER-3 and SER-6. Moreover, we found that OA administration promoted the nuclear translocation of DAF-16, the key transcription factor in fasting responses, and that the OA-induced enhancement of stress resistance required DAF-16. Altogether, our results suggest that OA signaling, which is triggered by the absence of food, shifts the organismal state to a more protective one to prepare for environmental stresses. To investigate the involvement of DAF-16 and octopamine receptors (SER-3 and SER-6) in octopamine-induced genome-wide transcriptome alterations, we conducted transcriptome analysis.

Chemical inhibition of the target of rapamycin kinase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii leads to rapid cysteine oxidation and sustained physiological changes.

Project description:The target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a key metabolic regulator with a role in diverse processes, including nutritional sensing, protein translation, and autophagy. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, TOR maintains these responsibilities and is additionally linked to the regulation of increased triacylglycerol accumulation. In this study, we used an ATP-competitive inhibitor (AZD8055) to inactivate TOR kinase in vivo and quantified any accompanying changes in global protein abundance and reversible cysteine oxidation.

Amygdala NPY circuits are critical for the development of accelerated obesity under chronic stress

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) exerts powerful feeding related functions in the hypothalamus. However, NPY is also present in extra-hypothalamic nuclei, however their influence on energy homeostasis is unclear. Here we uncover a previously unknown feeding stimulatory pathway that is activated under conditions of stress in combination with calorie dense food with NPY neurons in the central amygdala (CeA) being responsible for an exacerbated response to a combined stress and high fat diet intervention. CeA NPY neuron specific Npy overexpression mimics the obese phenotype seen in a stress/HFD model, which is prevented by the selective ablation of Npy. Using food intake and energy expenditure (EE) as readout we demonstrate that selective activation of CeA NPY neurons results in increased food intake and a decrease in EE, which requires the presence of NPY. Mechanistically it is the diminished insulin signalling capacity on CeA NPY neurons under stress combined with HFD conditions that leads to the exaggerated development of obesity.

mRNA-seq of ubiqutously and pan-neuronally reduce rpia-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A (RPIA) is a rate-limiting enzyme, which connects oxidative phase to non-oxidative phase and mediates redox homeostasis in pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Here, we report that spatially and temporally limited knockdown of rpia-1 prolongs lifespan and improves healthspan in C. elegans, reflecting the evolutionarily conserved phenotypes observed in Drosophila. We first confirmed that both ubiquitous (in N2) and pan-neuronal (in TU3401) knockdown of rpia-1 enhance tolerance to oxidative stress, reduce polyglutamine aggregation, and improve the deteriorated body bending rate caused by polyglutamine aggregation. Next, we observed that both rpia-1 knockdown conditions enhance lifespan. In addition, rpia-1 knockdown in glutamatergic or cholinergic neurons was sufficient to increase lifespan. Besides the regulation of healthspan through the elevation of NADPH levels, we also identified novel molecular mechanisms that contribute to the longevity effect. Our results showed that rpia-1 reduction was accompanied by induction of autophagic flux, activation of AMPK, and inhibition of TOR signaling. Importantly, the lifespan extension by rpia-1 knockdown required the activation of autophagy and AMPK pathways, and reduced TOR sig-naling. Moreover, the RNA-seq data from the two longlived rpia-1 knockdown strains supported our experimental findings and reveal potential downstream targets, which may play key roles in this intervention. Together, our data disclose the specific spatial and temporal conditions and the underlying molecular mechanisms of rpia-1 knockdown-mediated longevity in C. elegans. These findings may facilitate the development of translational medicine and the improvement of lon-gevity research.
