Project description:Liver steatosis is a driving force for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic liver disease, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Slug (also called Snai2 or Snail2) is a transcriptional regulator that may play a critical role in the regulation of liver function. To prove that, we used microarrays to detail the hepatic Slug regulated gene expression underlying liver steatosis and identified distinct pathways controlled by Slug during this process.

Project description:Genome wide association studies (GWAS) in obesity have identified a large number of noncoding loci located near genes expressed in the central nervous system. However, due to the difficulties in isolating and characterizing specific neuronal subpopulations, very few obesity-associated SNPs have been functionally characterized. Leptin responsive neurons in the hypothalamus are essential in controlling energy homeostasis and body weight. Here, we show that by combining FACS-sorting of leptin-responsive hypothalamic neuron nuclei with genomic approaches (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq), we can provide a comprehensive map of leptin-response specific regulatory elements, several of which overlap obesity-associated GWAS variants. Further demonstrating the robustness of our leptin-response neuron regulome, we functionally characterize a novel enhancer near Socs3, a leptin response-associated transcription factor. Combined, our results provide a comprehensive map of active genomic regions in leptin-responsive neurons and present a blueprint for functionally characterizing obesity-associated SNPs in the hypothalamus.

Project description:Energy homeostasis is regulated by the hypothalamus but fails when animals are fed a high-fat diet (HFD), and leptin insensitivity and obesity develops. We have used a microarray-based transcriptomics approach to identify novel genes regulated by HFD and leptin in the hypothalamus using mouse global arrays.

Project description:The relationship between loss of hypothalamic function and onset of diabetes mellitus remains elusive. Therefore, we generated a targeted oxidative-stress murine model utilizing conditional knockout of selenocysteine-tRNA (Trsp) using rat insulin promoter-driven-Cre (RIP-Cre). These Trsp-knockout (TrspRIPKO) mice exhibit deletion of Trsp in both hypothalamic cells and pancreatic β-cells leading to increased hypothalamic oxidative stress and severe insulin resistance. Leptin signals were suppressed and numbers of proopiomelanocortin-positive neurons in the hypothalamus were decreased. In contrast, a Trsp-knockout mouse (TrspIns1KO) expressing Cre specifically in pancreatic β-cells, but not in the hypothalamus, did not display insulin and leptin resistance, demonstrating a critical role of the hypothalamus in the onset of diabetes mellitus. Nrf2 (NF-E2-related-factor-2) regulates antioxidant gene expression. Gene-driven increase in Nrf2 signaling suppressed hypothalamic oxidative stress and improved insulin and leptin resistance in TrspRIPKO mice. Thus, Nrf2 harbors the potential to prevent the onset of diabetic mellitus by reducing hypothalamic oxidative damage.

Project description:Obesity represents a risk factor for breast cancer development and therapy resistance, but the molecular players underling these links are unclear. Here, we identify a role for the obesity-cytokine leptin in sustaining aromatase inhibitor (AI) resistant growth and progression in breast cancer. Using as a cellular model MCF-7 breast cancer cells surviving long-term to the AI treatment Anastrozole (AnaR) and Ana-sensitive counterparts, we found that AnaR cells expressed higher levels of leptin and its receptors (ObR) along with a constitutive activation of downstream effectors. Accordingly, leptin signaling inhibition reduced only AnaR cell growth and motility, highlighting the existence of an autocrine loop in mechanisms governing drug-resistant phenotype. In agreement with ObR overexpression, increasing doses of leptin were able to stimulate at a greater extent growth and migration in AnaR than sensitive cells. Moreover, leptin contributed to an enhanced crosstalk between AnaR cells and macrophages within tumor microenvironment. Indeed, AnaR through leptin secretion modulated macrophage profiles and increased macrophage motility through CXCR4 signaling, as evidenced by RNA-sequencing, realtime-PCR and immunoblotting. Reciprocally, activated macrophages increased AnaR cell growth and motility in coculture systems.

Project description:Obesity occurs when energy expenditure is outweighed by food intake. Tuberal hypothalamic nuclei, including the arcuate nucleus (ARC), ventromedial nucleus (VMH), and dorsomedial nucleus (DMH), regulate feeding amount as well as energy expenditure. Here we report that mice lacking circadian nuclear receptors REV-ERBa and b in the tuberal hypothalamus (HDKO) gain excessive weight on an obesogenic diet due both to decreased energy expenditure and increased food consumption during the light phase. Moreover, rebound food intake after fasting is markedly increased in HDKO mice. Integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses revealed that such disruption in feeding behavior is due to perturbed REV-ERB-dependent leptin signaling in the ARC. Indeed, in vivo leptin sensitivity is impaired in HDKO mice on an obesogenic diet in a circadian manner. Thus, REV-ERBs play a crucial role in hypothalamic regulation of food intake and circadian leptin sensitivity in diet-induced obesity.
