Project description:Birth is the first metabolic challenge that cardiomyocytes need to overcome as they reshape their fuel preference from glucose to fatty acids (FA) to optimize energy production in postnatal life. This adaptation is partly triggered by drastic post-partum environmental changes, yet the molecular players responsible for orchestrating cardiomyocyte maturation remain unknown. Here, we discover that maternal metabolite γ-linolenic acid (GLA) support this transition. Specifically, colostrum GLA acts as an agonist for Retinoid X Receptors (RXR), a family of ligand-activated transcription factors expressed from embryonic life in cardiomyocytes. Mice lacking RXR in embryonic cardiomyocytes showed an aberrant chromatin landscape that prevented the induction of RXR-dependent FA metabolism genes (mtFAH signature). This results in a defective metabolic transition with blunted mitochondrial lipid-derived energy production and enhanced glucose consumption, which ultimately leads to perinatal lethal cardiac dysfunction. In vitro GLA supplementation in cardiomyocytes induced the expression of mtFAH signature in a RXR-dependent manner. Altogether, our study uncovers GLA/RXR axis as the fundamental mechanism by which maternal physiology commands metabolic functioning in perinatal hearts. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to maintain hematopoietic fitness throughout life. In steady-state conditions, HSC exhaustion is prevented by the maintenance of most HSCs in a quiescent state, with cells entering the cell cycle only occasionally. HSC quiescence is regulated by retinoid and fatty-acid ligands of transcriptional factors of the nuclear retinoid X receptor (RXR) family. Here, we show that dual deficiency for hematopoietic RXRa and RXRb induces HSC exhaustion, myeloid cell/megakaryocyte differentiation, and myeloproliferative-like disease. RXRa and RXRb maintain HSC quiescence, survival, and chromatin compaction; moreover, transcriptome changes in RXRa;RXRb-deficient HSCs include premature acquisition of an aging-like HSC signature, MYC pathway upregulation, and RNA intron retention. Fitness loss and associated RNA transcriptome and splicing alterations in RXRa;RXRb-deficient HSCs are prevented by Myc haploinsufficiency. Our study reveals the critical importance of RXRs for the maintenance of HSC fitness and their protection from premature aging.

Project description:Distinct macrophage populations throughout the body display highly heterogeneous transcriptional and epigenetic programs. However, the regulation of chromatin accessibility of tissue-resident macrophages is poorly understood. In this study, we generated a data set for genome-wide transposase-accessible chromatin analysis (ATAC-seq) of large peritoneal macrophages in animals with myeloid-specific double deletion of the nuclear receptors RXRa and RXRb.

Project description:Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6) is an omega-6 (n-6), 18 carbon (18C-) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) found in human milk and several botanical seed oils and is typically consumed as part of a dietary supplement. While there have been numerous in vitro and in vivo animal models which illustrate that GLA-supplemented diets attenuate inflammatory responses, clinical studies utilizing GLA or GLA in combination with omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs have been much less conclusive. A central premise of this review is that there are critical metabolic and genetic factors that affect the conversion of GLA to dihommo-gamma linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3n-6) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6), which consequently affects the balance of DGLA- and AA- derived metabolites. As a result, these factors impact the clinical effectiveness of GLA or GLA/(n-3) PUFA supplementations in treating inflammatory conditions. Specifically, these factors include: 1) the capacity for different human cells and tissues to convert GLA to DGLA and AA and to metabolize DGLA and AA to bioactive metabolites; 2) the opposing effects of DGLA and AA metabolites on inflammatory processes and diseases; and 3) the impact of genetic variations within the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster, in particular, on AA/DGLA ratios and bioactive metabolites. We postulate that these factors influence the heterogeneity of results observed in GLA supplement-based clinical trials and suggest that "one-size fits all" approaches utilizing PUFA-based supplements may no longer be appropriate for the prevention and treatment of complex human diseases.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Rodent hearts can regenerate myocardium lost to apical resection or myocardial infarction for up to 7 days after birth, but whether a similar window for myocardial regeneration also exists in large mammals is unknown. METHODS:Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was surgically induced in neonatal pigs on postnatal days 1, 2, 3, 7, and 14 (ie, the P1, P2, P3, P7, and P14 groups, respectively). Cardiac systolic function was evaluated before AMI and at 30 days post-AMI via transthoracic echocardiography. Cardiomyocyte cell cycle activity was assessed via immunostaining for proliferation and mitosis markers, infarct size was evaluated histologically, and telomerase activity was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:Systolic function at day 30 post-AMI was largely restored in P1 animals and partially restored in P2 animals, but significantly impaired when AMI was induced on postnatal day 3 or later. Hearts of P1 animals showed little evidence of scar formation or wall thinning on day 30 after AMI, with increased measures of cell-cycle activity seen 6 days after AMI (ie, postnatal day 7) compared with postnatal day 7 in noninfarcted hearts. CONCLUSIONS:The neonatal porcine heart is capable of regeneration after AMI during the first 2 days of life. This phenomenon is associated with induction of cardiomyocyte proliferation and is lost when cardiomyocytes exit the cell cycle shortly after birth.

Project description:Background/objectivesInfant linear-growth faltering remains a major public health issue in low- and middle-income countries and suboptimal breast milk composition may be a local, population-specific risk factor. The relationship between early post-natal breast milk fatty acid (FA) composition and infant growth at 1 and 2 years of age was investigated prospectively in 563 families in Dhaka, Bangladesh.Subjects/methodsA maternal breast milk sample drawn before infant age 6 weeks was analyzed for percentage composition of 26 FAs, and infant length for age Z score (LAZ) was measured longitudinally to infant age 2 years. Individual FAs were tested as predictors of the infant growth outcomes.ResultsOf 26 tested FAs, %gamma-linolenic acid (%GLA) was mostly significantly associated with increase in LAZ from 6 to 52 weeks (?LAZ(52-6w)), and also to 104 weeks. The association was consistent over all breast milk stages with estimated effect size of +0.05 ?LAZ(52-6w) per 20% change in %GLA (p value?=?3?×?10-6), and stronger for ?LAZ(104-6w) at +0.06 (p value?=?8?×?10-7), explaining 1% of the outcome variance. Infant serum zinc measurements at 6 and 18 weeks of age were included in adjusted analyses, suggesting at least partial independence of infant zinc levels. The association was strongest in 417/563 (74.1%) families with %GLA <0.2%. Breast milk arachidonic acid fraction was within normal range with weaker evidence of association in early breast milk stages.ConclusionsThis study found that %GLA in breast milk was independently associated with infant linear growth, albeit with small effect size, in a predominantly slum-dwelling, low-income, Bangladeshi cohort.
