Loss of Liver X Receptor alters the transcriptional landscape

ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptors LXRa and LXRb play a crucial role in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism. Many genes induced in response to pharmacologic LXR agonism in mouse liver have been defined; however, the transcriptional consequences of loss of LXR binding to its genomic targets are not well characterized. Here we addressed how deletion of both LXRa and LXRb from mouse liver (LXRDKO) affects the transcriptional regulatory landscape by integrating changes in LXR/RXR binding, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression. Many genes involved in fatty acid metabolism have reduced expression and chromatin accessibility at their intergenic and intronic regions in LXRDKO livers. Genes that were upregulated in LXRDKO livers have increased chromatin accessibility in their promoter regions and are enriched for those with functions not linked to lipid metabolism. We further showed that loss of LXR binding in liver reduces the activity of a broad set of hepatic transcription factors, inferred through motif accessibility. In contrast, accessibility at promoter NFY motifs is strongly increased in the absence of LXR. Surprisingly, we define small set of direct target genes for ligand-dependent LXR repression. These genes with LXR binding sites show increased expression in LXRDKO liver and reduced expression in response to LXR agonist treatment. In summary, while our results support the established roles for LXRs as ligand-dependent activators of genes linked to lipid metabolism, the binding of LXR/RXR heterodimers to the hepatic genome has broad effects on the transcriptional landscape that extend beyond its canonical function as an activator of lipid metabolic genes.

Genome-wide profiling of LXR, RXR and PPARM-NM-1 in mouse liver reveals extensive sharing of binding sites

Project description:The liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that form permissive heterodimers with retinoid X receptor (RXR) and are important regulators of lipid metabolism in the liver. We have recently shown that RXR agonist-induced hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic steatosis in mice is dependent on LXR and correlates with an LXR-dependent hepatic induction of lipogenic genes. To further investigate the role of RXR and LXR in the regulation of hepatic gene expression, we have mapped the ligand-regulated genome-wide binding of these factors in mouse liver. We find that the RXR agonist bexarotene primarily increases the genomic binding of RXR, whereas the LXR agonist T0901317 greatly increases both LXR and RXR binding. Functional annotation of putative direct LXR target genes revealed a significant association with classical LXR-regulated pathways as well as PPAR signaling pathways, and subsequent ChIP-seq mapping of PPARM-NM-1 binding demonstrated binding of PPARM-NM-1 to 71-88% of the identified LXR:RXR binding sites. Sequence analysis of shared binding regions combined with sequential ChIP on selected sites indicate that LXR:RXR and PPARM-NM-1:RXR bind to degenerate response elements in a mutually exclusive manner. Together our findings suggest extensive and unexpected cross-talk between hepatic LXR and PPARM-NM-1 at the level of binding to shared genomic sites LXR, RXR, PPARalpha and RNA Polymerase II ChIP-seq on livers from female C57BL/6 wild-type and/or LXRM-NM-1/M-NM-2-deficient mice (13 weeks of age, n=1) treated by oral gavage once daily for 14 days with the RXR agonist bexarotene (100 mg/kg body weight [mpk], in 1% carboxymethylcellulose), the LXR agonist T0901317 (T09, 30 mpk) or vehicle alone.

Liver X receptor beta is the dominant LXR subtype in skeletal muscle

Project description:Liver X receptors (LXRs) are important regulators of cholesterol, lipid and glucose metabolism and have been extensively studied in liver, macrophages and adipose tissue. However, their role in skeletal muscle is not yet fully elucidated and the functional role of each of the LXRM-NM-1 and LXRM-NM-2 subtypes in skeletal muscle is at present unknown. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRM-NM-1 and LXRM-NM-2 knockout (KO) mice were established. The present study shows that treatment with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317 increased mRNA levels of LXR target genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in myotubes established from WT and LXRM-NM-1 KO mice. However, only minor changes in expression level were observed for these genes after treatment with T0901317 in myotubes from LXRM-NM-2 KO mice. Gene expression analysis using Affymetrix NuGO Genechip arrays showed that few other genes than the classical, well known LXR target genes were regulated by LXR in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, functional studies using radiolabeled substrates showed that treatment with T0901317 increased lipogenesis and apoA1 dependent cholesterol efflux, in myotubes from WT and LXRM-NM-1 KO mice, but not LXRM-NM-2 KO mice. The data suggest that the lipogenic effects of LXRs, as well as the LXR-stimulated cholesterol efflux, are mainly mediated by LXRM-NM-2 in skeletal muscle. To study the importance of each of the receptor subtypes, myotube cultures derived from wild type (WT), LXRa and LXRb knockout (KO) mice were established. Sixteen samples were examined. Half the samples were treated with the unselective LXR agonist T0901317.

Genome-wide maps of H3K4me1 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv-infected macrophages

Project description:Host macrophage transcriptional responses to intracellular pathogens remain poorly characterized. We screened transcriptional enhancers engaged in response to M. tuberculosis (Mtb) infection by ChIPseq analysis of histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1). De novo monomethylation during infection was associated with genes implicated in host defense and apoptosis. These regions were enriched for binding sites for ETS transcription factor family members and response elements for nuclear receptors, including liver X receptors (LXRs) and peroxisomal proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), many of which were encompassed by transposable elements. LXRa expression was strongly induced by infection, whereas that of PPARs was unaffected. LXR DNA binding and NCoR corepressor recruitment increased proportionately in infected cells but coactivator association was unchanged, consistent with a lack of induction of endogenous agonists. However, treatment of infected cells with LXR agonist T0901317 strongly increased coactivator recruitment and induced a gene expression program characterized by enhanced innate immune signaling and lipid metabolism. Remarkably, T0901317 treatment selectively induced apoptosis in infected macrophages, and was accompanied by Mtb death, reducing mycobacterial burden 18-fold relative to vehicle 5d after infection. These studies define macrophage transcriptional responses to Mtb infection, and suggest that tissue-specific LXRa agonists may be efficacious in clinical management of tuberculosis.

RNA-Seq of livers of Gata4LKO and control mouse on LXR agonist GW3965

Project description:GATA4 is a transcription factor known for its crucial role in the development of many tissues, including liver; however, its role in adult liver metabolism is unknown. Here, using high-throughput sequencing technologies, including assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-Seq), we identified GATA4 as a transcriptional regulator of metabolism in liver. GATA4 expression is elevated in response to refeeding, and its occupancy is increased at enhancers of genes linked to fatty acid and lipoprotein metabolism. Knocking out GATA4 in adult liver (Gata4LKO) decreased transcriptional activity at GATA4 binding sites especially during feeding. Gata4LKO mice have reduced plasma HDL cholesterol and increased liver triglyceride levels. The expression of a panel of genes involved in cholesterol export and triglyceride hydrolysis was downregulated and the expression of those involved in lipid uptake were upregulated in Gata4LKO liver, We further demonstrate that GATA4 collaborates with LXR liver. GATA4 shares a number of binding sites and direct transcriptional targets with LXRs, and loss of GATA4 impairs the hepatic transcriptional response to LXR agonist. Collectively, these results show that hepatic GATA4 contributes to the transcriptional control of hepatic and systemic lipid homeostasis.
