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.

Project description:Circulating levels of the gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide(TMAO) have recently been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Here we performed transcriptional profiling in mouse models of altered reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), and serendipitously identified the TMAO-generating enzyme flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) as a powerful modifier of cholesterol metabolism and RCT. Knockdown of FMO3 in cholesterol-fed mice alters biliary lipid secretion, blunts intestinal cholesterol absorption, and limits the production of hepatic oxysterols and cholesteryl esters. Furthermore, FMO3 knockdown stimulates basal and liver X receptor (LXR)-stimulated macrophage RCT, thereby improving cholesterol balance. Conversely, FMO3 knockdown exacerbates hepatic ER stress and inflammation in part by decreasing hepatic oxysterol levels and subsequent LXR activation. FMO3 is thus identified as a central integrator of hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol metabolism, inflammation, and ER stress. These studies suggest that the gut microbiota-driven TMA/FMO3/TMAO pathway is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and inflammation. To identify potential regulators of macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), liver was isolated from two independent mouse models where the non-biliary RCT pathway known as transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE) was either chronically (NPC1L1-liver-transgenic mice) or acutely (ACAT2 antisense oligonucleotide treatment) stimulated. Total RNA was isolated and gene expression levels were profiled on the Affymetrix GeneAtlas MG-430 PM Array Strip (Affymetrix; Santa Clara, CA, USA)

Project description:Liver x receptor alpha (LXRα, Nr1h3) functions as an important intracellular cholesterol sensor that regulates liver fat and cholesterol metabolism at the transcriptional level in response to the direct binding of cholesterol derivatives. We have generated mice with a mutation in LXRα that reduces activity in response to endogenous cholesterol derived LXR ligands while still allowing transcriptional activation by synthetic agonists. The mutant LXRα functions as a dominant negative that shuts down cholesterol sensing. When fed a high fat, high cholesterol diet LXRα mutant mice rapidly develop pathologies associated with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) including ballooning hepatocytes, liver inflammation, and fibrosis. Strikingly LXRα mutant mice have decreased liver triglycerides but increased liver cholesterol. Therefore, MASH-like phenotypes can arise in the absence of large increases in hepatic triglycerides. Reengaging LXR signaling by treatment with synthetic agonist reverses MASH suggesting that LXRα normally functions to impede the development of liver disease.

Project description:Dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis is associated with the pathology of many diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Two major upstream regulators of cholesterol homeostasis are the SREBP2 pathway and the actions of the liver X receptors (LXRs), with the liver thought to handle the majority of cholesterol homeostasis at the organismal level. Endogenous cholesterol metabolites such as 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), which serve to activate the nuclear receptor LXR, result in increased expression of genes associated with cholesterol catabolism and efflux. LXR and various LXR ligands such as 27HC have been described to influence several extra-hepatic biological systems. However, disparate reports of LXR function have emerged, especially with respect to immunology and cancer biology. This would suggest that similar to steroid nuclear receptors, the LXR may be selectively modulated by ligands. Here, we use bulk RNA-sequencing of bone marrow-derived macrophages and single-cell RNA-sequencing of immune cells from murine lungs bearing metastatic mammary cancer, to prove that LXR satisfies the two principles of selective nuclear receptor modulation: (1) different LXR ligands result in overlapping but distinct gene expression profiles within the same cell type, and (2) the same LXR ligands differentially regulate gene expression in a highly context-specific manner, depending on cell or tissue type. The concept that the LXR can be selectively modulated provides the foundation for the development of ligands that are tailored to promote those activities that are desirable (pro-immune), but at the same time minimizing harmful side effects (such as elevated triglyceride levels).
