Cardiac-derived TGF-b1 confers resistance to diet-induced obesity through regulation of adipocyte size and function.

ABSTRACT: Regulation of organismal homeostasis in response to nutrient availability is a vital physiological process that involves inter-organ communication. Understanding the mechanisms controlling systemic cross talk for maintenance of metabolic health is critical to counteract diet-induced obesity. Here, we show that cardiac-derived transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-b1) protects against weight gain and glucose intolerance in mice subjected to high-fat diet. Secretion of TGF-b1 by cardiomyocytes correlates with bioavailability of this factor in circulation. TGF-b1 prevents adipose tissue inflammation independent of body weight and glucose metabolism phenotypes, suggesting protection from adipocyte dysfunction-driven immune cell recruitment. TGF-b1 alters gene expression programs in white adipocytes, favoring their thermogenic fate and consequently increasing their mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates. Ultimately, subcutaneous and visceral white adipose tissue from heart-specific TGF-b1 transgenic mice fail to undergo cellular hypertrophy, leading to reduced overall adiposity during high-fat feeding. Thus, TGF-b1 is a critical mediator of heart-fat communication for regulation of systemic metabolism.

Protection from obesity and diabetes by blockade of TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling

Project description:Imbalances in glucose and energy homeostasis are at the core of the worldwide epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Here, we illustrate an important role of the TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling pathway in regulating glucose and energy homeostasis. Smad3 deficient mice are protected from diet-induced obesity and diabetes. Interestingly, the metabolic protection is accompanied by Smad3-/- white adipose tissue acquiring the bioenergetic and gene expression profile of brown fat/skeletal muscle. Smad3-/- adipocytes demonstrate a marked increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, with a corresponding increase in basal respiration, and Smad3 acts as a repressor of PGC-alpha1 expression. We observe significant correlation between TGF-beta1 levels and adiposity in rodents and humans. Further, systemic blockade of TGF-beta1 signaling protects mice from obesity, diabetes and hepatic steatosis. Together, these results demonstrate that TGF-beta signaling regulates glucose tolerance and energy homeostasis and suggest that modulation of TGF-beta1 activity might be an effective treatment strategy for obesity and diabetes. Smad3-/- and WT mice were fed with regular diet (RD) and high fat diet (HFD), and diet induced obese (DIO) mice were treated with IgG and anti-TGF-b1 antibody

Proteomics analysis of insulin sensitive tissues in high fat diet fed mice

Project description:The popularity of high fat foods in modern society has been associated with epidemic of various metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance, the pathology of which involves complex interactions between multiple tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT). To uncover the mechanism by which excessive fat impairs insulin sensitivity, we conducted a multi- tissue study by using TMT-based quantitative proteomics. 3-week-old ICR mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 19 weeks to induce insulin resistance. Liver, skeletal muscle and epididymal fat were collected for proteomics screening. Additionally, PRM was used for validating adipose differential proteins. By comparing tissue-specific protein profiles of HFD mice, multi-tissue regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and corresponding underlying mechanisms was systematically investigated and characterized. NC: normal birth weight + chow diet; NH: normal birth weight + high fat diet; LC: low birth weight + chow diet; LH: low birth weight + high fat diet.

Transgenic expression of BEN, a member of TFII-I family, in various murine adipose tissues

Project description:The white adipose organ is composed of both subcutaneous and several intra-abdominal depots. Excess abdominal adiposity is a major risk factor for metabolic disease in rodents and humans, while expansion of subcutaneous fat does not carry the same risks. Brown adipose produces heat as a defense against hypothermia and obesity, and the appearance of brown-like adipocytes within white adipose tissue depots is associated with improved metabolic phenotypes. Thus, understanding the differences in cell biology and function of these different adipose cell types and depots may be critical to the development of new therapies for metabolic disease. Here, we found that BEN, a determination factor of brown fat function. BEN transgenic mice displayed increased energy expenditure, limited weight gain, and improved glucose tolerance in response to a high-fat diet. These results demonstrate that BEN is a cell-autonomous determinant of a brown fat function and thermogenesis.

Adiponectin-cre FTO flox/flox and FTO flox/flox mouse white fat tissues

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in intron 1 of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene were found to be associated with an increased risk of adult obesity. Enhanced FTO expression in mice leads to hyperphagia, increased fat mass, and higher body weight. Neuronal-specific FTOâ??deleted mice have an identical lean body weight phenotype to global FTO-deleted mice. The physiological role of adipose FTO in the homeostasis of energy regulation remains to be elucidated. We used microarrays to elucidate the metabolic pathways that are regulated by FTO in the white fat. FTO flox/flox and Adiponectin-cre FTO flox/flox (AFO) mice were fed with chow diet. White fat tissues from epididymal adipose pad were harvested under ad lib condition for RNA isolation. Three independent pools of FTO flox/flox and AFO mouse white fat RNA were included in the study.

MBOAT7-Driven Lysophosphatidylinositol Acylation in Adipocytes Contributes to Systemic Glucose Homeostasis

Project description:We previously demonstrated that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated knockdown of Mboat7, the gene encoding Membrane Bound O-Acyltransferase 7, in the liver and adipose tissue of mice promoted high fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, hyperinsulinemia, and systemic insulin resistance. Thereafter, other groups showed that hepatocyte-specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 promoted striking fatty liver and NAFLD progression in mice but does not alter insulin sensitivity, suggesting the potential for cell autonomous roles. Here, we show that MBOAT7 function in adipocytes contributes to diet-induced metabolic disturbances including hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance. We generated floxed Mboat7 mice and created hepatocyte- and adipocyte-specific knockout mice using Cre-recombinase mice under the control of the albumin and adiponectin promoter, respectively. After chow and high fat diet feeding (60% kCal fat), mice were subjected to metabolic phenotyping and tissues to molecular workup and analysis. Here, we show that MBOAT7 function in adipocytes contributes to diet-induced metabolic disturbances including hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance. The expression of Mboat7 in white adipose tissue closely correlates with diet-induced obesity across a panel of ~100 inbred strains of mice fed a high fat/high sucrose diet. Moreover, we found that adipocyte-specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 is sufficient to promote hyperinsulinemia, systemic insulin resistance, and mild fatty liver. Unlike in the liver, where Mboat7 plays a relatively minor role in maintaining arachidonic acid (AA)-containing PI pools, Mboat7 is the major source of AA-containing PI pools in adipose tissue. Our data demonstrate that MBOAT7 is a critical regulator of adipose tissue PI homeostasis, and adipocyte MBOAT7-driven PI biosynthesis is closely linked to hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in mice.

Effect of sesaminol on C2C12 cells on myogenesis pathway

Project description:Adipocytes are key players in maintaining energy homeostasis and are classified into two different categories: white and brown adipocyte. While white adipocytes store energy as triacylglycerols in lipid droplets, brown adipocytes combust excess chemical energy and release in the form of heat through uncoupled respiration. This characteristic phenomenon of brown fat attracts researchers and pharmacological industries to view brown fat as one of the potential therapeutic targets for obesity and associated metabolic disease. In the current study, we investigated the effect of a small molecule, sesaminol (SML) on brown fat activity and found that SML induces thermogenic program in primary white adipocytes as well as chow diet fed mice. In particular, SML treatment to mice elevated mitochondrial complex proteins and the rate oxygen consumption in brown and white fat. Administration of SML to high fat diet (HFD) challenged mice decreased weight gain, adiposity and cholesterol levels along with an increase of brown fat gene program in brown and white fat. Mechanistically, SML repressed the myogenic gene program in C2C12 myoblasts and increased all mitochondrial marker genes as appeared in brown adipose cells. Together, our results demonstrate that SML stimulates brown adipose function and protects mice against diet induced weight gain.

Expression data from female C57BL/6J and B6.Cg-Mir146atm1.1Bal/J mice after 10 weeks of normal or high fat diet

Project description:The pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic diseases has been linked to the inflammation of white adipose tissue (WAT), but the molecular interconnections are still not fully understood. MiR-146a controls inflammatory processes by suppressing pro-inflammatory signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of miR-146a in obesity and insulin sensitivityresistance . MiR-146a-/- mice were subjected to a high fat diet followed by metabolic tests and WAT transcriptomics. Gain- and loss-of-function studies were performed using human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes. Compared to controls, miR-146a-/- mice gained significantly more body weight on a high fat diet with increased fat mass and adipocyte hypertrophy. This was accompanied by exacerbated liver steatosis, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. Likewise, adipocytes transfected with an inhibitor of miR-146a displayed a decrease in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, while transfecting miR-146a mimics caused the opposite effect. Natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3) was identified as a direct target gene of miR-146a in adipocytes and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of NPR3 increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and enhanced de-novo lipogenesis. In summary, miR-146a regulates systemic and adipocyte insulin sensitivity via downregulation of NPR3.

Expression data from the visceral adipose tissues of Lgr4 mutant (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice

Project description:Lgr4 acts as a key factor to regulate energy expenditure and body weight. Visceral fat (epidydimal white adipose tissue, eWAT) show a significant reduction in Lgr4 mutant mice than littermate controls, especially in high-fat diet (HFD) condition. A white-to-brown fat switch of eWAT in Lgr4 mice was reported by our group. However, the whole-genome expression profile of eWAT has not been comphrehensively studied. We used microarrays to reveal the potential novel factors underlying browning process.
