Project description:Previous studies from our lab have characterized a group of splicing factors called SR proteins that function to identify intron/exon borders in regulating metabolic homeostasis in the Drosophila fat body. Decreasing the function of one SR protein, 9G8, causes an increase in triglyceride storage; however, the function of 9G8 in other metabolic tissues like the fly intestine is not known. Decreasing 9G8 in the Drosophila intestine results in the accumulation of triglycerides; however, the 9G8 target genes responsible for this phenotype are unknown. To address this question, we performed RNA sequencing on Drosophila intestines with 9G8 levels reduced by RNAi.

Project description:De novo lipogenesis (DNL) has been implicated in the development and progression of hepatic liver steatosis. Hepatic DNL is strongly influenced by dietary macronutrient composition with diets high in carbohydrate increasing DNL and diets high in fat decreasing DNL. The enzymes in the core DNL pathway have been well characterised however less is known about proteins that play accessory or regulatory roles in DNL. In the current study, we associate measured rates of hepatic DNL and liver fat content with abundance of liver proteins from liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in mice to identify known and uncharacterised proteins that may have a role in DNL. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed either a standard chow diet a semi-purified high starch diet or a high fat diet. Both semi-purified diets resulted in increased body weight, fat mass and liver triglyceride content compared to chow-fed mice while hepatic DNL was increased in the high starch fed mice and decreased in the high fat fed mice. Proteomic analysis was carried out on the livers of these mice and proteins were identified that associated with either the rate of DNL or triglyceride content in the liver. There was no overlap between DNL and triglyceride associated proteins. We identify novel proteins associated with DNL that are involved in taurine metabolism, which suggests a link between these pathways. Further analysis identified proteins that are differentially regulated when comparing a non-purified chow diet to either of the semi-purified diets to provide a set of proteins that are regulated by the degree of dietary complexity alone. Finally, we compared the liver proteome between 4 week-fed and 30-week diet-fed mice and found remarkable similarity suggesting that the majority of diet-regulated proteins change early in response to differing dietary components.

Project description:Kupffer cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases. However, their involvement in metabolic disorders of the liver, including fatty liver disease, remains unclear. The present study sought to determine the impact of Kupffer cells on hepatic triglyceride storage and to explore the possible mechanisms involved. To that end, C57Bl/6 mice rendered obese and steatotic by chronic high-fat feeding were treated for 1 week with clodronate liposomes, which cause depletion of Kupffer cells. Loss of expression of marker genes Cd68, F4/80, and Clec4f, and loss of Cd68 immunostaining verified almost complete removal of Kupffer cells from the liver. Also, expression of complement components C1, the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 6 (Ccl6), and cytokines interleukin-15 (IL-15) and IL-1beta were markedly reduced. Importantly, Kupffer cell depletion significantly decreased liver triglyceride and glucosylceramide levels concurrent with increased expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (Cpt1alpha), and fatty acid transport protein 2 (Fatp2). Treatment of mice with IL-1beta decreased expression of PPARalpha and its target genes, which was confirmed in primary hepatocytes. Consistent with these data, IL-1beta suppressed human and mouse PPARalpha promoter activity. Suppression of PPARalpha promoter activity was recapitulated by overexpression of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) subunit p50 and p65, and was abolished upon deletion of putative NF-kappaB binding sites. Finally, IL-1beta and NF-kappaB interfered with the ability of PPARalpha to activate gene transcription. CONCLUSION: Our data point toward important cross-talk between Kupffer cells and hepatocytes in the regulation of hepatic triglyceride storage. The effect of Kupffer cells on liver triglycerides are at least partially mediated by IL-1beta, which suppresses PPARalpha expression and activity.

Project description:Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan. We took advantage of Drosophila genetics to investigate the role of macrophages and the pathway(s) that govern their response to dietary stress. Flies fed a lipid-rich diet presented with increased fat storage, systemic JAK-STAT activation, reduced insulin sensitivity and hyperglycaemia, and a shorter lifespan. Drosophila macrophages scavenged lipids and produced the type 1 cytokine upd3, in a scavenger-receptor (croquemort) and JNK-dependent manner. Genetic depletion of macrophages, or macrophage-specific silencing of upd3 decreased JAK-STAT activation and rescued insulin sensitivity and the lifespan of Drosophila, but did not decrease fat storage. NF-κB signalling made no contribution to the phenotype observed. These results identify an evolutionarily conserved ‘scavenger receptor-JNK-Type 1 cytokine’ cassette in macrophages, which controls glucose metabolism and reduces lifespan in Drosophila maintained on a lipid-rich diet via activation of the JAK-STAT pathway Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan.

Project description:Metabolism in males and females is distinct. Differences are usually linked to sexual reproduction, with circulating signals (e.g. hormones) playing major roles. By contrast, sex differences prior to sexual maturity and intrinsic to individual metabolic tissues are less understood. We analyzed Drosophila melanogaster larvae and find that males store more fat than females, the opposite of the sexual dimorphism in adults. We show that metabolic differences are intrinsic to the major fat storage tissue, including many differences in the expression of metabolic genes. Our previous work identified fat storage roles for Spenito (Nito), a conserved RNA-binding protein and regulator of sex determination. Nito knockdown specifically in the fat storage tissue abolished fat differences between males and females. We further show that Nito is required for sex-specific expression of the master regulator of sex determination, Sex-lethal (Sxl). “Feminization” of fat storage cells via tissue-specific overexpression of a Sxl target gene made larvae lean, reduced the fat differences between males and females, and induced female-like metabolic gene expression. Altogether, this study supports a model in which Nito autonomously controls sexual dimorphisms and differential expression of metabolic genes in fat cells in part through its regulation of the sex determination pathway.
