Project description:Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved catabolic process that recycles nutrients upon starvation and maintains cellular energy homeostasis1-3. Its acute regulation by nutrient sensing signaling pathways is well described, but its longer-term transcriptional regulation is not. The nuclear receptors PPARα and FXR are activated in the fasted or fed liver, respectively4,5. Here we show that both regulate hepatic autophagy. Pharmacologic activation of PPARα reverses the normal suppression of autophagy in the fed state, inducing autophagic lipid degradation, or lipophagy. This response is lost in PPARα knockout (PPARα-/-) mice, which are partially defective in the induction of autophagy by fasting. Pharmacologic activation of the bile acid receptor FXR strongly suppresses the induction of autophagy in the fasting state, and this response is absent in FXR knockout (FXR-/-) mice, which show a partial defect in suppression of hepatic autophagy in the fed state. PPARα and FXR compete for binding to shared sites in autophagic gene promoters, with opposite transcriptional outputs. These results reveal complementary, interlocking mechanisms for regulation of autophagy by nutrient status. Mouse liver PPARα cistromes in fed 8-week-old male WT or PPARα KO mice treated with or without its synthetic agonist ligand GW7647twice a day were generated by deep sequencing in quadruplicate using illumina

Project description:Hepatic ketogenesis is crucial for energy homeostasis in a fast state, whereas defective ketogenesis is associated with various diseases. We explored the role of PAK4, an oncoprotein, in ketogenesis. To investigate the molecular basis, we carried out RNA-sequencing analysis using littermate WT and hepatocyte-specific Pak4 KO mice in fasted conditions.

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates cellular nutrient signaling and hormonal cues to control metabolism. We have previously shown that constitutive nutrient signaling to mTORC1 by means of genetic activation of RagA (RagAGTP) in mice resulted in a fatal energetic crisis at birth. Herein, we have rescued neonatal lethality in RagAGTP mice and found morphometric and metabolic alterations that span glucose, lipid, ketone, bile acid and amino acid homeostasis in adults, and a median lifespan of nine months. Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of livers from RagAGTP mice revealed a failed metabolic adaptation to fasting due to a global impairment in PPARα transcriptional program. These metabolic defects were partially recapitulated by restricting activation of RagA to hepatocytes, and reverted by pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1. Constitutive hepatic nutrient signaling did not cause hepatocellular damage and carcinomas, unlike genetic activation of growth factor signaling upstream of mTORC1. In summary, RagA signaling dictates dynamic responses to feeding-fasting cycles to tune metabolism so as to match the nutritional state.

Project description:Mice harboring a liver-specific carnitine palmityltransferase 2 (Cpt2) knockout exhibit drastic lipid accumulation following a 24hr fast. Crossing Cpt2L-/- mice with Pparα-/- mice provides a model to drive ligand-activated Pparα signaling in liver. We use this to investigate unique patterns of Pparα target gene transcription and demonstrate the requirement for ligand-activated Pparα in maintaining transcriptionally permissive genomic architecture in liver, including regulation of promoters and enhancer elements during periods of nutrient deprivation.

Project description:Ketone bodies, intermediates in energy metabolism and signaling, have attracted significant attention due to their role in health and disease. We performed around the clock study on ketone bodies and ketogenesis with mice on different diets. We found that caloric restriction, a dietary intervention that improves metabolism and longevity, induced high amplitude circadian rhythms in blood βOHB. The blood βOHB rhythms resulted from rhythmic ketogenesis in the liver controlled by the interaction between the circadian clock and PPAR transcriptional networks. This interaction results in transcriptional reprogramming of in beta-oxidation and ketogenesis enzymes. The reprogramming is impaired in circadian clock mutant mice. The circadian clock gated ketogenesis contributes to the diet impact on health and longevity.

Project description:During fasting, bodily homeostasis is maintained due to hepatic production of glucose (via gluconeogenesis) and ketone bodies (via ketogenesis). The major hormones governing hepatic fuel production are glucagon and glucocorticoids who initiate a complex transcriptional program aimed at supporting gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis. Here, we found that in addition to the known metabolic genes induced by glucagon and glucocorticoids, these hormones each induce a set of genes encoding transcription factors (TFs) thereby initiating transcriptional cascades. Glucocorticoids activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) that induces the genes encoding two TFs - C/EBPβ and PPARα. Transcriptomic analysis combined with gene silencing revealed the role of C/EBPβ as an amplifier of hormone-induced gluconeogenesis. In contrast, the GR-PPARα cascade initiated a secondary transcriptional wave of genes supporting ketogenesis. We show that a dual treatment of glucocorticoids with a PPARα agonist leads to synergistic induction of ketogenic genes and that this induction is dependent on protein synthesis. Genome-wide analysis of enhancer dynamics revealed numerous enhancers activated by the GR-PPARα cascade. These enhancers are proximal to ketogenic genes, are enriched for the PPARα binding motif and show increased PPARα binding as profiled by ChIP-seq. In summary, this study reveals abundant TF cascades occurring during fasting. These cascades serve two separated purposes: the amplification of the primary gluconeogenic transcriptional program and the induction of a secondary gene program aimed at enhancing ketogenesis.
