Correlation guided Network Integration (CoNI) reveals novel genes affecting hepatic metabolism

ABSTRACT: Obesity-induced ectopic fat disposition in the liver is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes as it impairs hepatic insulin sensitivity, a crucial component of whole body glucose homeostasis; however molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive. Understanding the pathogenesis of fatty liver, including the identification of novel genetic regulators that are involved in the regulation of liver metabolism under excess energy supply, is crucial for the development and implementation of efficient prevention and treatment strategies. We here developed a new method to integrate metabolomics and transcriptomics data based on pairwise correlation analysis of metabolites coupled to partial correlation combining the metabolite correlations with the transcript expression profiles followed by the construction of undirected, weighted graphs.This Correlation based Network Integration (CoNI) approach was applied to liver metabolome and transcriptome datasets of lean and HFD-fed obese mice to unravel previously hidden local regulator genes (LRG). The selected candidate genes were validated by transcriptome-proteome correlation analysis, by association studies with liver lipid metabolism in humans and by analysis of cellular metabolite levels after siRNA knockdown. Overall, the new bioinformatic CoNI approach for Omics datasets allowed us to identify genes regulating metabolic networks in livers of obese mice that if solely analyzing the transcriptome dataset would have remained hidden.

Secreted footprint of pluripotency in Man-13 HeSCs

Project description:With a view to developing a much-needed non-invasive method for monitoring the healthy pluripotent state of human stem cells in culture, we undertook proteomic analysis of the waste medium from cultured induced (Rebl.PAT) human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Cells were grown in E8 medium to maintain pluripotency, and then transferred to FGF2 and TGFβ deficient E6 media for 48 hours to replicate an early, undirected dissolution of pluripotency. We identified a distinct proteomic footprint associated with early loss of pluripotency in both hPSC lines, and a strong correlation with changes in the transcriptome. We demonstrate that multiplexing of four E8- against four E6- enriched secretome biomarkers provides a robust, diagnostic metric for pluripotent state. These biomarkers were further confirmed by Western blotting which demonstrated consistent correlation with the pluripotent state across cell lines, and in response to a recovery assay.

Altered DNA methylation of glycolytic and lipogenic genes in liver from obese and type 2 diabetic patients [transcriptome analysis]

Project description:Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease associated with many underlying pathomechanisms. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression by DNA methylation has become increasingly recognized as an important component in the etiology of type 2 diabetes. We performed genome-wide methylome and transcriptome analysis in liver from severely obese patients with or without type 2 diabetes to discover aberrant pathways underlying the development of insulin resistance. We identified hypomethylation of five key genes involved in hepatic glycolysis, de novo lipogenesis and insulin resistance with concomitant increased mRNA expression and protein content. The CpG-site within the ATF-motif was hypomethylated in four of these genes in liver of non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic obese patients, suggesting epigenetic regulation of transcription by altered ATF-DNA binding. In conclusion, severely obese non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic patients have distinct alterations in the hepatic methylome and transcriptome and genes controlling glucose and lipid metabolism are hypomethylated at a regulatory site. Thus, obesity may epigenetically reprogram the liver towards increased lipid production and exacerbate the development of insulin resistance. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of hepatic insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes at a molecular level, we performed a genome-wide methylome and transcriptome analysis of liver from non-obese metabolically healthy, obese non-diabetic and obese type 2 diabetic patients. Distinct DNA methylation and gene expression profiles were identified in liver from the obese and type 2 diabetic patients compared with the non-obese participants.

SILAC-based quantitative proteomic analysis of the livers of spontaneous obese and diabetic rhesus monkeys

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (TM) is a severely metabolic disorder that affects above 10% worldwide population. Obesity is a major cause of insulin resistance and contributes to the development of TM. Liver is an essential metabolic organ that plays crucial roles in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. However, the underlying mechanisms of liver in the transition of obesity to diabetes are not fully understood. Nonhuman primate (NHP) rhesus monkey is an appropriate animal for research of human diseases. Here, we first screened and selected three individual spontaneous and diabetic rhesus monkeys. Interestingly, the diabetic monkeys were obese with high BMI at beginning, but gradually lost their body weight during one-year observation. Furthermore, we performed a SILAC-based quantitative proteomics to identify proteins and signaling pathways with altered expression in the liver of obese and diabetic monkeys. Totally, 3509 proteins were identified and quantified, and of which 185 proteins displayed altered expression level. GO analysis revealed that the expression of proteins involved in fatty acids β-oxidation and galactose metabolism was increased in obese monkeys; while proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) degradation was upregulated in diabetic monkeys. In addition, we observed a mild impaired mitophagy and apoptosis in the liver of diabetic monkeys, suggesting a dysfunction of mitochondria and liver injury in the late onset of diabetics. Taken together, our liver proteomics may reveal a distinct metabolic transition from fatty acids β-oxidation in obese monkey to BCAA degradation in diabetic monkeys.

Differential blood biomarkers and PBMC transcriptome profiles in normal-weight and obese individuals

Project description:The aim of study was to investigate correlation bewteen peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transcriptome profiles and plasma lipid profiles of Korean adult with varying BMI. In Korean, BMI cut-off points are 18.5~22.9 kg/m2 (normal range), M-bM-^IM-% 23 kg/m2 (overweight), M-bM-^IM-% 25 kg/m2 (obese), M-bM-^IM-% 30 kg/m2 (severely obese). Thus, the obese group was subdivided into mildly obese (BMI 25~27 kg/m2, OA) and highly obese (BMI 27~30 kg/m2, OB). This study indicates that lipid, glucose and inflammation metabolism-related gene expressions were altered according to cahnge of varing phenotype biomarkers such as BMI, plasma total-C, TG, FFA and HDL-C. Thus, blood biomarkers and PBMC gene expression profiles identified in this study may be useful as indicative biomarkers for obese susceptibility in Korean adult as well as response to various intervention for treating obesity. Total RNA of PBMCs was obtained from normal weight, obese person and mRNA expression was measured.

A history of obesity leaves an inflammatory fingerprint in liver and adipose tissue [gWAT]

Project description:Dieting is a popular yet often ineffective way to lower body weight, as the majority of people regain most of their pre-dieting weights in a relatively short time. The underlying molecular mechanisms driving weight regain and the increased risk for metabolic disease are still incompletely understood. Here we investigate the molecular alterations inherited from a history of obesity. In our model, male HFD fed obese C57BL/6J mice, were switched to a low caloric chow diet, resulting in a decline of body weight to that of lean mice. Within seven weeks after diet switch, most obesity associated phenotypes, such as body mass, glucose intolerance and blood metabolite levels were reversed. However, hepatic inflammation, hepatic steatosis as well as hypertrophy and inflammation of perigonadal, but not subcutaneous, adipocytes persisted in formerly obese mice. Transcriptional profiling of liver and perigonadal fat revealed an upregulation of pathways associated with immune function and cellularity. Thus, we show that weight reduction leaves signs of inflammation in liver and perigonadal fat, indicating that persisting proinflammatory signals in liver and adipose tissue could contribute to an increased risk of formerly obese subjects to develop the metabolic syndrome upon recurring weight gain.
