Liver X receptor beta is the dominant LXR subtype in skeletal muscle

ABSTRACT: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are important regulators of cholesterol, lipid and glucose metabolism and have been extensively studied in liver, macrophages and adipose tissue. However, their role in skeletal muscle is not yet fully elucidated and the functional role of each of the LXRα and LXRβ subtypes in skeletal muscle is at present unknown. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRα and LXRβ knockout (KO) mice were established. The present study shows that treatment with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317 increased mRNA levels of LXR target genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in myotubes established from WT and LXRα KO mice. However, only minor changes in expression level were observed for these genes after treatment with T0901317 in myotubes from LXRβ KO mice. Gene expression analysis using Affymetrix NuGO Genechip arrays showed that few other genes than the classical, well known LXR target genes were regulated by LXR in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, functional studies using radiolabeled substrates showed that treatment with T0901317 increased lipogenesis and apoA1 dependent cholesterol efflux, in myotubes from WT and LXRα KO mice, but not LXRβ KO mice. The data suggest that the lipogenic effects of LXRs, as well as the LXR-stimulated cholesterol efflux, are mainly mediated by LXRβ in skeletal muscle.

Common and differential transcriptional actions of LXRalpha and LXRbeta in murine macrophages

Project description:The LXR proteins, LXRα and LXRβ, are transcription factors that belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. LXRs are activated by oxysterols and control the transcription of genes involved in the regulation of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. They also mediate several aspects of macrophage biology, including inflammatory responses, cell survival in response to infection and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. LXRs share a high degree of sequence homology and most of their functions are believed to be performed similarly by LXRα and LXRβ. However, the individual, transcriptional roles of each LXR isoform have not been characterized in detail, in part due to the lack of specific experimental tools that can discriminate between LXRα and LXRβ actions. To identify common and differential transcriptional functions of LXR nuclear receptors in macrophages, we developed a cellular model of stable expression of FLAG-tagged LXRα or LXRβ in LXR-null immortalized murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (parental line published Elife. 2015 Jul 14;4:e08009. doi: 10.7554/eLife.08009). To take a deeper insight into the epigenomic features of LXR nuclear receptors, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify genome-wide binding locations of LXRα and LXRβ in the presence of a synthetic agonist (GW3965, 1uM). Additionally, we identified genome-wide DNA locations of acetylation mark on lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27ac), upon LXR agonist (GW3965, 1uM) and antagonist (GW2033, 1uM) treatment. Collectively, these studies will increase our understanding of common and differential genomic actions of LXRα and LXRβ in cultured murine macrophages.

Foam cell specific LXRα ligand

Project description:OBJECTIVE: The liver X receptor α (LXRα) is a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor and the major regulator of reverse cholesterol transport in macrophages. This makes it an interesting target for mechanistic study and treatment of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: We optimized a promising stilbenoid structure (STX4) in order to reach nanomolar effective concentrations in LXRα reporter-gene assays. STX4 displayed the unique property to activate LXRα effectively but not its subtype LXRβ. The potential of STX4 to increase transcriptional activity as an LXRα ligand was tested with gene expression analyses in THP1-derived human macrophages and oxLDL-loaded human foam cells. Only in foam cells but not in macrophage cells STX4 treatment showed athero-protective effects with similar potency as the synthetic LXR ligand T0901317 (T09). Surprisingly, combinatorial treatment with STX4 and T09 resulted in an additive effect on reporter-gene activation and target gene expression. In physiological tests the cellular content of total and esterified cholesterol was significantly reduced by STX4 without the undesirable increase in triglyceride levels as observed for T09. CONCLUSIONS: STX4 is a new LXRα-ligand to study transcriptional regulation of anti-atherogenic processes in cell or ex vivo models, and provides a promising lead structure for pharmaceutical development.

Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) of kidney and liver tissues from Lxrα-/- mices or wild type mices.

Project description:As a cholesterol sensor, nuclear receptor liver X receptor (Lxr) activated by oxysterols is an important factor regulating cholesterol homeostasis and plays central roles in the transcriptional control of cholesterol metabolism. Lxrα is one of the liver X receptor(Lxrs) subtypes. Lxrα is abundantly expressed in liver, small intestine, adipose, kidney, adrenal tissues, and macrophages. Lxrα's regulation of lipid metabolism is well known but its regulation of other downstream genes remains unclear.In order to investigate the regulating effect of Lxrα on other genes, we used the second-generation transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq) to determine the expression changes of each gene in Lxrα-/- mices comparing with wild type mices.

Eicosapentaenoic acid improves metabolic switching in human myotubes

Project description:Metabolically healthy skeletal muscle is characterized by the ability to switch easily between glucose and fat oxidation, whereas loss of this ability seems to be related to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate whether different fatty acids (FAs) and the LXR ligand T0901317 affected metabolic switching in human skeletal muscle cells (myotubes). Pretreatment of myotubes with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) increased suppressibility, the ability of glucose to suppress FA oxidation, and metabolic flexibility, the ability to increase FA oxidation when changing from “fed” to “fasted” state. Adaptability, the capacity to increase FA oxidation with increasing FA availability, was increased after pretreatment with EPA, linoleic acid (LA) and palmitic acid (PA). T0901317 counteracted the effect of EPA on suppressibility and adaptability, but did not affect these parameters alone. EPA itself accumulated less, however, EPA, LA, OA and T0901317 increased the number of lipid droplets (LDs) in myotubes, whereas LD size and mitochondria amount were independent of pretreatment. Microarray analysis showed that EPA regulated more genes than the other FAs. Some pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism were induced only by EPA. The present study suggests a possible favorable effect of EPA on skeletal muscle metabolic switching and glucose utilization. Keywords: Analysis of target gene regulation by using microarrays. Primary human myotubes, derived from 3 healthy, female donors, were preincubated with different fatty acids (oleic acid [OA], palmitic acid [PA], eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] or linoleic acid [LA], each at 100 µM) or bovine serum albumin [BSA] (40 µM) for 24 h.

Liver X Receptor α Activation Enhances Cholesterol Secretion in Lactating Mammary Epithelium

Project description:We profiled differential gene expression in vivo between pregnant day 14 (secretory differentiation) and lactation day 4 (established secretory activation) using isolated mouse mammary epithelial cells depleted of the mammary adipocytes. Liver-X-Receptors are ligand-dependent transcription factors activated by cholesterol metabolites. These receptors induce a suite of target genes required for de novo synthesis of triglycerides and cholesterol transport in many tissues. Two different isoforms -LXRα and LXRβ- have been well characterized in liver, adipocytes, macrophages and intestinal epithelium among others, but their contribution to cholesterol and fatty acid efflux in the lactating mammary gland is poorly understood. We hypothesize that LXR regulates lipogenesis during milk fat production in lactation. Global mRNA analysis of mouse mammary epithelial cells (MECs) revealed multiple LXR/RXR targets are upregulated sharply at the onset of lactation compared to mid-pregnancy. LXRα is the primary isoform and its protein levels increase throughout lactation in MECs. The LXR agonist GW3965 markedly induced several genes involved in cholesterol transport and lipogenesis and enhanced cytoplasmic lipid droplet accumulation in the HC11 MEC cell line. Importantly, in vivo pharmacological activation of LXR increased the milk cholesterol percentage and induced Srebp1c and Abca7 expression in MECs. Cumulatively, our findings identify LXRα as an important regulator of cholesterol incorporation into the milk through key nodes of de novo lipogenesis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target in women with difficulty initiating lactation.

TLR-dependent transcriptional reprogramming of LXRα cistrome in bone marrow-derived macrophages

Project description:The Liver X receptors (LXRα and LXRβ) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors, and play key roles in the coordination of both metabolic and immune responses in macrophages. Both LXRs are expressed in macrophages and they share a high degree of sequence homology but their individual roles in different models of macrophage cultures, particularly in response to inflammation, have not been characterized. Previous studies have shown that ligand pre-treated LXRs repress the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. Here, we show evidence that the expression of LXRα (but not LXRβ) is transcriptionally regulated at late phases of an LPS-induced inflammatory response in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Regulation of LXRα expression is controlled at the transcriptional levels by inflammatory signaling networks. Transcriptional profiling studies and ChIP-seq data identified a number of innate immune pathways whose expression is substantially controlled by LXRα in BMDMs. In summary, our data shows that LXRα plays a previously unrecognized role in innate immunity by transcriptional regulation of a battery of inflammatory genes through TLR and Type-I IFN-dependent signaling in macrophages.
