Project description:Liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (LIRKO) mouse is a unique non-dietary model of insulin resistant, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis that resembles several clinical features of the human metabolic syndrome. By enhanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (ERRBS) analysis of the livers of wild-type (WT) offspring of LIRKO mice, we identified that genes with differential DNA methylation were enriched for cholesterol synthesis, MAPK, AKT, insulin and TGF-β signaling, including the NREP and GDF15.

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cocoa butter and safflower oil on hepatic transcript profiles, lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in healthy rats. Cocoa butter-based high-fat feeding for three days did not affect plasma total triglyceride (TG) levels or TG-rich VLDL particles or hepatic insulin sensitivity, but changes in hepatic gene expression were induced that might lead to increased lipid synthesis, lipotoxicity, inflammation and insulin resistance if maintained. Safflower oil increased hepatic β-oxidation, was beneficial in terms of circulating TG-rich VLDL particles, but led to reduced hepatic insulin sensitivity. The effects of safflower oil on hepatic gene expression were partly overlapping with those exerted by cocoa butter, but fewer transcripts from anabolic pathways were altered. Increased hepatic cholesterol levels and increased expression of hepatic CYP7A1 and ABCG5 mRNA, important gene products in bile acid production and cholesterol excretion, were specific effects elicited by safflower oil only. Common effects on gene expression included increased levels of p8, DIG-1 IGFBP-1 and FGF21, and reduced levels of SCD-1 and SCD-2. This indicates that a lipid-induced program for hepatic lipid disposal and cell survival was induced by three days of high-fat feeding, independent on the lipid source. Based on the results, we speculate that hepatic TG infiltration leads to reduced expression of SCD-1, which might mediate either neutral, beneficial or unfavourable effects on hepatic metabolism upon high-fat feeding, depending on which fatty acids were provided by the diet. Keywords: Hepatic gene expression Two-condition experiment. Biological replicates: 4 male rat livers from rats on a standard diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a cocoa butter diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a high-fat (safflower oil) diet. One replicate per array.

Project description:Analysis of glucose and Lipid metabolism in male and female offspring after protein restriction of the mother Male offspring showed features of metabolic syndrome after receiving a high fat diet, regardless of the diet of the dam. Glucose and lipid metabolism in male offspring was unaltered. Insulin sensitivity and hepatic fatty acid storage in female offspring of low-protein-fed dams changed in such a way that it resembled the male pattern of insulin sensitivity and hepatic fatty acid storage. Microarray analysis on hepatic gene expression patterns confirmed these findings. We therefore conclude that in mice, maternal protein restriction does not change the response of glucose and fatty acid metabolism to a high fat diet in male offspring, but does program metabolism in female offspring in such a way that it resembles male metabolism. Our findings might have implications for potential future gender-specific treatment of the features of metabolic diseases. Total RNA obtained from liver (16 samples per gender) were compared in the different groups. In total, 4 groups per gender, each group consisting of 4 biological replicates.

Project description:Background: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) - treatments to allow parenthood to couples facing fertility issues- have allowed the birth of > 5 million babies worldwide. Notwithstanding most of ART children are healthy at birth, several studies reported that ART may affect early-life experience causing permanent changes in fetal programming and, consequently, leading to increased predisposition to metabolic disorders in adulthood. Currently, the metabolic health status of ART children has been poorly investigated and it will take decades before large-scale population studies will be implemented. Studies on animal models indicated impaired in utero development of ART conceptuses. Relevantly, our preliminary data showed hypomethylation of liver from ART foetuses, which may contribute to the fetal programming of adult diseases. Regarding adult ART offspring, obesity, glucose intolerance and lipid accumulation in the liver have been previously described in mouse model, indicative of increased risk to develop metabolic disorders. However, little is known on the pathophysiological mechanism behind the metabolic abnormalities in ART offspring. In this context, this study investigated the influence of ART on the function of the liver, a major organ involved in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis.
Methods: To assess the influence of ART on liver functions, proteomic analysis was carried out on adult liver from 4 months old offspring developed following Embryo Transfer (ET), in vitro culture (IVC) and blastomere biopsy (BB). Control (CTR) consisted of naturally conceived offspring. Then, to verify whether and how changes in liver proteome were associated with perturbation of the metabolic status of adult offspring, general growth and physiological parameters (e.g. glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, plasmatic levels of interleukin 6, triglycerides and total cholesterol) were assessed.
Results: Proteomic analysis of adult liver showed deregulated expression of proteins involved in lipid, carbohydrate and energy metabolism as well as cellular processes in adult offspring developed following BB, IVC and ET. Characterization of metabolic phenotype of adult offspring revealed increased body weight in ART offspring, glucose intolerance in BB, IVC, ET males and BB females, insulin resistance on BB offspring, low plasmatic level of Interleukin-6 in BB, IVC, ET males and high level of triglycerides and total cholesterol in BB females vs CTR which are phenotypic manifestation of liver disfunctions and core symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: Our study showed DE of proteins involved in metabolic and cellular processes, indicative of impaired hepatic functions which may contribute to the onset and progression of various diseases (e.g. NASH, NAFLD, hepatocarcinoma) in mouse offspring developed following ART. Moreover, impaired hepatic metabolism was associated with obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia which are core symptoms of metabolic syndrome and risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in adult ART offspring. Thus, we provide evidence of Assisted Reproductive Technologies is a risk factor for perturbation of hepatic proteome, associated with the increased predisposition to liver diseases and metabolic syndrome in adulthood.

Project description:The PPAR? activator fenofibrate efficiently decreases plasma triglycerides (TG), which is generally attributed to enhanced VLDL-TG clearance and decreased VLDL-TG production. However, since data on the effect of fenofibrate on VLDL production are controversial, we aimed to investigate in (more) detail the mechanism underlying the TG-lowering effect by studying VLDL-TG production and clearance using APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice, a unique mouse model for human-like lipoprotein metabolism. Male mice were fed a Western-type diet for 4 weeks, followed by the same diet without or with fenofibrate (30 mg/kg bodyweight/day) for 4 weeks. Fenofibrate strongly lowered plasma cholesterol (-38%; P<0.001) and TG (-60%; P<0.001) caused by reduction of VLDL. Fenofibrate markedly accelerated VLDL-TG clearance, as judged from a reduced plasma half-life of intravenously injected glycerol tri[3H]oleate-labeled VLDL-like emulsion particles (-68%; P<0.01). This was associated with an increased post-heparin LPL activity (+110%; P<0.0001) and an increased uptake of VLDL-derived fatty acids by skeletal muscle, white adipose tissue and liver. Concomitantly, fenofibrate markedly increased the VLDL-TG production rate (+73%; P<0.0001) but not the VLDL-apoB production rate. Kinetic studies using [3H]palmitic acid showed that fenofibrate increased VLDL-TG production by equally increasing incorporation of re-esterified plasma FA and liver TG into VLDL, which was supported by hepatic gene expression profiling data. We conclude that fenofibrate decreases plasma TG by enhancing LPL-mediated VLDL-TG clearance, which results in a compensatory increase in VLDL-TG production by the liver. Male mice were fed a Western-type diet for 4 weeks, followed by the same diet without or with fenofibrate (30 mg/kg bodyweight/day) for 4 weeks. After 4 hours fasting, livers were isolated and individual gene arrays were performed.

Project description:Obesity-related insulin resistance represents the core component of the so-called Metabolic Syndrome, ultimately promoting glucose intolerance, pancreatic beta cell failure, and overt type 2 diabetes 1 2. Based on substantial side effects of existing pharmacological approaches, efficient and safe insulin sensitization and glucose control remain critical therapeutic aims to prevent diabetic late complications 3. Here, we identify Transforming Growth Factor beta-like Stimulated Clone (TSC) 22 D4 as a critical molecular determinant of insulin signaling and glucose handling. Hepatocyte-specific inactivation of TSC22D4 enhanced insulin signaling in liver and skeletal muscle, while hepatic TSC22D4 overexpression blunted insulin tissue responses. Consequently, hepatic TSC22D4 inhibition both prevented and reversed hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance in various diabetes mouse models, respectively. TSC22D4 was found to exert its effects on systemic glucose homeostasis - in large parts - through the transcriptional regulation of the small secretory protein lipocalin (LCN) 13 as demonstrated by chromatin recruitment and genetic rescue experiments in vivo. As hepatic TSC22D4 levels were found to be elevated in human diabetic patients, correlating with decreased insulin sensitivity and hyperglycemia, our results establish the inhibition of TSC22D4 as an attractive insulin sensitizing option in diabetes therapy. 28 BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J (000642) mice (12 week old ) were divided to 4 forms of treatment (n=7 per treatment group) consisting of 4 different shRNA adenoviruses (reference sample: control shRNA), LCN13 (LCN13 shRNA), TSC22D4 (TSC22D4 shRNA), TSC22D4 plus LCN13 (TSC22D4+LCN13 shRNA). 1 week after shRNA injection animals were sacrificed, liver, abdominal fat tissue, gastrocnemius tissue was immediately snap frozen. 3 representative animals of each treatment group were selected for microarray analysis (abdominal fat tissue).
