Creld2 function during unfolded protein response is essential for liver metabolism homeostasis

ABSTRACT: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is associated with the metabolic function of the liver, yet it is not well understood how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) disturbance might influence metabolic homeostasis. Here, we describe the physiological function of the Cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (Creld2), which has been previously characterized as a downstream target of the ER-stress signal transducer Atf6. Creld2 enhances protein folding and degradation through its interaction with proteins involved in UPR, thereby, promoting tolerance of chronic stress and recovery from acute stress. Using a genetic knockout model, we show that Creld2-deficiency leads to a dysregulated UPR, and causes the development of hepatic steatosis in male mice, while females are protected. We observed this sex dimorphism also in humans with fatty liver disease, with only males showing an accumulation of CRELD2 protein in the liver. These results reveal a Creld2 function at the intersection between UPR and metabolic homeostasis and suggest a mechanism in which chronic ER stress underlies fatty liver disease in males.

Lipid bilayer stress-activated IRE-1 modulates autophagy during endoplasmic reticulum stress

Project description:Metabolic disorders such as obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are emerging disorders that affect the global population. One facet of the disorders is attributed to the disturbance of membrane lipid homeostasis. Perturbation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis through changes in membrane phospholipid composition results in activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and causes dramatic translational and transcriptional changes in cell. To restore cellular homeostasis, the three highly conserved UPR transducers ATF6, IRE1, and PERK mediate cellular processes upon ER stress. The roles of the UPR in proteostatic stress caused by the accumulation of misfolded protein is well understood but lipid perturbation-induced UPR remains elusive. We found that genetically attenuated PC synthesis in C. elegans causes lipid droplets accumulation if not for the intervention of the UPR program. Transcriptional profiling of lipid perturbation-induced ER stress animals shows a unique subset of genes modulated in an UPR-dependent manner that are unaffected by proteostatic stress. Among these, we identified IRE1-modulated autophagy genes that trigger liberation of free fatty acids from excess lipid droplets suggesting a stress release mechanism by which free fatty acids are rechannelling to restore lipid homeostasis. Considering the important role of lipid homeostasis and how its impairment contributes to the pathologies in metabolic diseases, our data uncovers the indispensable role of a fully functional UPR program in regulating lipid homeostais in the face of chronic ER stress.

Interference with the HNF4-dependent gene regulatory network diminishes ER stress in hepatocytes

Project description:In all eukaryotic cell types, the unfolded protein response (UPR) upregulates factors that promote protein folding and misfolded protein clearance to help alleviate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Yet ER stress in the liver is uniquely accompanied by the suppression of metabolic genes, the coordination and purpose of which is largely unknown. Here, we combined in silico machine learning, in vivo liver-specific deletion of the master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation HNF4α, and in vitro manipulation of hepatocyte differentiation state to determine how the UPR regulates hepatocyte identity, and toward what end. Machine learning identified a cluster of correlated genes that were profoundly suppressed by persistent ER stress in the liver. These genes, which encode diverse functions including metabolism, coagulation, drug detoxification, and bile synthesis, are likely targets of the master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation HNF4α. The response of these genes to ER stress was phenocopied by liver-specific deletion of HNF4α. Strikingly, while deletion of HNF4α exacerbated liver injury in response to an ER stress challenge, it also diminished UPR activation and partially preserved ER ultrastructure, suggesting attenuated ER stress. Conversely, pharmacological maintenance of hepatocyte identity in vitro enhanced sensitivity to stress. Together, our findings suggest that the UPR regulates hepatocyte identity through HNF4α to protect ER homeostasis even at the expense of liver function.

ER stress inhibits liver fatty acid oxidation while unmitigated stress leads to anorexia-induced lipolysis and both liver and kidney steatosis

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR), induced by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, regulates the expression of factors that restore protein folding homeostasis. However, in the liver and kidney, ER stress also leads to lipid accumulation, accompanied at least in the liver by transcriptional suppression of metabolic genes. The mechanisms of this accumulation are unclear, including which pathways contribute to the phenotype in each organ. We combined gene expression profiling, biochemical assays, and untargeted lipidomics to understand the basis of stress-dependent lipid accumulation, taking advantage of enhanced hepatic and renal steatosis in mice lacking the ER stress sensor ATF6α. We found that impaired fatty acid oxidation contributed to the early development of steatosis in the liver, but not the kidney; while anorexia-induced lipolysis promoted late triglyceride and free fatty acid accumulation in both organs. These findings provide evidence for both direct and indirect regulation of peripheral metabolism by ER stress.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen for ER stress-UPR pathway

Project description:Perturbation of tissue homeostasis accompanies a diversity of inflammatory pathologies and imposes metabolic constraints at the cellular level that elicit ER stress, protein misfolding, and cell death. In response to ER stress, cells initiate the unfolded protein response (UPR), which determines divergent cell fate decisions, either promoting recovery of ER proteostasis and cell survival or triggering programmed cell death. However, the mechanisms by which the UPR transitions from the adaptive to terminal state are not fully understood. To discover novel UPR pathway regulators that influence the outcome of cellular ER stress responses, we performed genome-scale genetic perturbations. Our genome-wide screens revealed that distinct sets of genes regulate UPR activity and maintenance of ER homeostasis. This expansive dataset provides a rich resource that can be leveraged to elucidate signaling crosstalk during ER stress and discover novel UPR regulators.

Temporal scRNAseq identifies dynamic transcriptional programs that dictate the outcome of ER stress

Project description:Perturbation of tissue homeostasis accompanies a diversity of inflammatory pathologies and imposes metabolic constraints at the cellular level that elicit ER stress, protein misfolding, and cell death. In response to ER stress, cells initiate the unfolded protein response (UPR), which determines divergent cell fate decisions, either promoting recovery of ER proteostasis and cell survival or triggering programmed cell death. However, the mechanisms by which the UPR transitions from the adaptive to terminal state are not fully understood. Here, we leverage single-cell genomics to define dynamic transcriptional states associated with the adaptive versus terminal UPR in the intestinal epithelium. We recovered the terminal-UPR signature, which dictates adaptation versus programmed cell death in response to ER stress.

CPEB4 prevents hepatic steatosis [RIP-Seq]

Project description:The Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding (CPEB)-family of RNA-binding proteins regulates pre-mRNA processing and translation of CPE-containing mRNAs in early embryonic development and synaptic activity. However, the specific functions of each CPEB in the adult organism are poorly understood. Here we show that CPEB4 is required to suppress high fat diet- and aging-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and its subsequent hepatic steatosis. Stress-activated expression of CPEB4 in the liver is controlled through a double layer of regulation. First, Cpeb4 is transcriptionally regulated by the circadian clock and then, its mRNA translation is regulated by the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) through the upstream Open Reading Frames (uORFs) present in its 5’ UTR. Thus, CPEB4 is synthesized only upon ER-stress but the amplitude of the induction is circadian. In turn, CPEB4 activates a second wave of UPR-translation required to maintain ER and mitochondrial homeostasis. Our results suggest that combined transcriptional and translational regulation of CPEB4 generates a “circadian mediator”, which coordinates the hepatic UPR activity with periods of high ER protein-folding demand preventing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Stress sensor Ire1 deploys a divergent transcriptional program in response to lipid bilayer stress

Project description:Membrane integrity at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is tightly regulated and its disturbance is implicated in metabolic diseases. Using an engineered sensor that activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) exclusively when normal ER membrane lipid composition is compromised, we identified pathways beyond lipid metabolism that are necessary to maintain ER integrity in yeast and in C. elegans. To systematically validate yeast mutants that disrupt ER membrane homeostasis, we identified a lipid bilayer stress (LBS) sensor in the UPR transducer protein Ire1, located at the interface of the amphipathic and transmembrane helices. Furthermore, transcriptome and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses pinpoint the UPR as a broad-spectrum compensatory response wherein LBS and proteotoxic stress deploy divergent transcriptional UPR programs. Together, these findings reveal the UPR program as the sum of two independent stress responses, an insight that could be exploited for future therapeutic intervention.
