Oxytocin Signaling Regulates the Homeostatic Response to Cold Stress in Ectothermic Vertebrate

ABSTRACT: Homeothermic vertebrates exposed to low temperature challenge activate multiple central and physiological pathways in order to regain homeostatic balance within the new environmental constrains. Such homeostatic responses include shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis, altered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and protein catabolism synchronized by neuroendocrine responses. Pending their evolutionary life history, some of these physiological responses were also identified in poikilothermic vertebrates, yet a conception of heat seeking behavior and lack of cold-related metabolic regulation prevails. Using various physiological parameters and hypothalamic transcriptome analysis in the tropical poikilotherm Nile tilapia, we now demonstrate that cold stress in a poikilotherm induce complex central and physiological homeostatic responses. We further show that oxytocin which is a known thermoregulator in homeotherms, actively regulates temperature related homeostasis in poikilotherms. Moreover, we show that pharmacological or genetic blockage of oxytocin signaling affects oxygen-dependent metabolic rate in two cold exposed poikilothermic models. Therefore, our study identifies oxytocin as an adaptive and evolutionarily conserved metabolic regulator and show that poikilotherms brain actively respond to cold temperature stress by regulating metabolic physiology.

Shivering improves metabolic health in adults with overweight or obesity

Project description:Mild cold acclimation increases insulin sensitivity and previous studies indicate that some level of muscle contraction is essential for provoking this effect. Here, 15 adults with overweight or obesity, the majority of which had impaired glucose tolerance (n=9), were intermittently cold exposed for 10 consecutive days to induce 1 hour of shivering per day. Cold acclimation with shivering improved oral glucose tolerance, blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglyceride, and non-esterified free-fatty acid concentrations, and may thus represent a novel lifestyle approach for the prevention and treatment of obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Transcriptome analysis of gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata liver upon exposure to low temperature

Project description:In Sparus aurata, seasonal temperature variations outside the normal thermal range, may trigger physiological responses leading to pathologies and death. In the present study two groups of wild sea bream were exposed for 21 days to two temperature regimes: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control group) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold-exposed group). Samples were collected during the acute phase (0, 6 and 24 hours after temperature drop) and upon chronic exposure (21 days).

Effect of chronic cold on gene expression in inguinal white adipose tissue.

Project description:Excess weight is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Activating thermogenic mechanisms is a potentially powerful means to reduce excess weight and achieve metabolic benefits. Recent studies show that cold stimuli trigger the conversion of white fat into beige fat, which can mediate non-shivering thermogenesis. The purpose of this study is to determine effect of chronic cold exposure on gene expression in iWAT. To this end, we performed RNA-sequencing of iWAT from mice at 30 ˚C or 7 ˚C for 3 weeks and identified significantly regulated genes under chronic cold in iWAT.

Comparisons of gene expressions in zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain and gill after cold acclimation

Project description:Ambient temperature affects organisms comprehensively, however cold responses are different among tissues. Here, we adopt a transcript screening approach to explore and compare the cold responses in zebrafish gills and brain. Zebrafish were exposed to cold and the oligonucleotide-based microarray was used to identify cold-induced genes. Principle component analysis (PCA) of the gene expression profiles indicated that gills develop different strategies for the increasing of exposure period while brain relatively remained stable. Combining statistic and clustering methods, we found that gills showed higher protein metabolism and cell activity while brain showed higher stress responses and detoxification during cold acclimation. According to the microarray data sets, we extended the study on ionocyte- and isotocin neuron-related genes in gills and brain, respectively, and found these genes were broadly stimulated by cold. These data suggest that cold activates specific physiological functions in different tissues. Taken together, our results provide molecular evidences to elucidate the cold acclimation in zebrafish gills and brain. Keywords: Time course, Tissue types

Loss of α-actinin-3 during human evolution provides superior cold resilience and muscle heat generation

Project description:The fast skeletal muscle protein α-actinin-3 is absent in 1.5 billion people worldwide due to homozygosity for a nonsense polymorphism in the ACTN3 gene (R577X). The prevalence of the 577X allele increased as modern humans moved to colder climates, suggesting a link between α-actinin-3 deficiency and improved cold tolerance. Here, we show that humans lacking α-actinin-3 (XX) are superior in maintaining core body temperature during cold-water immersion due to changes in skeletal muscle thermogenesis. Muscles of XX individuals displayed a shift towards more slow-twitch isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) proteins, accompanied by altered neuronal muscle activation resulting in increased tone rather than overt shivering. Experiments on Actn3 knockout mice showed no alterations in brown adipose tissue (BAT) properties that could explain the improved cold tolerance in XX individuals. Thus, this study provides a clear mechanism for the positive selection of the ACTN3 X-allele in cold climates and supports a key thermogenic role of skeletal muscle during cold exposure in humans.

Sex dependent transcriptomic and reproductive response of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) to cold stress

Project description:Temperature has fundamental influences on fitness and distribution of insects. There have been very few studies on effects of mild cold conditions on insects. We found Plutella xylostella had reduced fitness and females produced few viable eggs when reared at 10°C, a temperature at which they can complete development. Male moths reared at 10°C were not able to fertilize eggs, but the eggs produced by female moths reared at this temperature were viable and could be fertilisied by males moths reared at a warmer temperature (25°C). Subsequently, we examined the transcriptomic changes in mid-fourth instar female and male larvae reared at 10°C and 25°C to investigate sex-dependent developmental and physiological responses of P. xylostella to the mild cold stress. We found 624 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in females, the majority of which were down-regulated. In males 3239 genes were dysregulated and the majority were up-regulated. Only 280 DEGs were common to both sexes. In females, no DEGs encoded heat shock or cold shock proteins, but some of the DEGs in males did encode these proteins. These differences might suggest that female and male adopt some different strategies in coping with cold stress and/or they were passively affected by coldness to different degrees and in different ways. In addition, DEGs encoding antimicrobial peptides, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, fatty acid-related enzymes, cuticle proteins, myofilament, and hormone-related proteins were found in both sexes under cold stress. The transcriptome study reveals unexpected sex-dependent thermal responses and provides much new information of how insects that do not diapause cope with a decreased temperature

Oryza sativa ssp. japonica (Kitaake) stressed by cold stress (5°C, 24 h) targeted to leaves (C-L), roots (C-R) or the whole plant (C), and exposed to previous acclimation (15°C, 12 h)

Project description:The experiment tested organ-specific responses of rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica) to cold stress with a special focus on phytohormonal regulation. Cold stress (5°C, 24 h) was applies on the whole plants, leaves or roots. The results showed distinct responses when cold stress was applied on leaves, relating to photosynthesis and sugar synthesis as well as specific changes in phytohormones. On the other hand, stress applied to roots was more similar to the stress on the whole plant indicating roots to be more important in cold stress responses. Acclimation by mild temperature (15°C, 12 h) highlighted changes which are connected even with lower temperature exposure or which are characteristic for untreated organs. Recovery (3 d) indicated ability of plants to restore growth which correlated between individual phytohormones and plant growth. The article connect transcriptome, hormonome, proteome and sugar analyses of rice cold-stress responses.
