Identification of adipose tissue metabolic memory of anorexia nervosa

ABSTRACT: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex debilitating disease characterized by intense fear of weight gain and excessive exercise. It is the deadliest of any psychiatric disorder with a high rate of recidivism, yet its pathophysiology is unclear. The Activity-Based Anorexia (ABA) paradigm is a widely accepted mouse model of AN that recapitulates hypophagia and hyperactivity despite reduced body weight, however, not the chronicity. Here, we modified the prototypical ABA paradigm to increase the time to lose 25% of baseline body weight from less than 7 days to more than 2 weeks. We used this paradigm to identify persistently altered genes after weight restoration that represent a metabolic memory of under-nutrition and may contribute to AN relapse. We focused on adipose tissue as it was identified as a major location of metabolic memory of over-nutririon. We identified 300 persistently dysregulated genes, including Calm2 and Vps13d, which could be potential global regulators of metabolic memory in both chronic over- and under-nutrition. However, despite being on the opposite spectrum of weight perturbations, the majority of metabolic memory genes of under- and over-nutrition do not overlap, suggestive of the different mechanisms involved in these extreme nutritional statuses.

Multi-organ Transcriptome Atlas of a Mouse Model of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs)

Project description:Insufficient energy intake to meet energy expenditure demands of physical activity can result in systemic neuroendocrine and metabolic abnormalities in activity-dependent anorexia and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). REDs affects >40% of athletes, yet the lack of underlying molecular changes has been a hurdle to have a better understanding of REDs and its treatment. To assess the molecular changes in response to energy deficiency, we implemented the ‘exercise-for-food’ paradigm, in which, food reward size is determined by wheel-running activity. By using this paradigm, we replicated several aspects of REDs in female and male mice, with high physical activity, and gradually reduced food intake, which results in weight loss, compromised bone health, organ-specific mass changes and altered rest-activity patterns. By integrating transcriptomics of 19 different organs, we provide a comprehensive dataset that will guide future understanding of REDs and may provide important implications for metabolic health and (athletic) performance.

Placental miR-340 mediates vulnerability to activity based anorexia in mice

Project description:Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a devastating eating disorder characterized by self-starvation that mainly affects women. Its etiology is unknown, which impedes successful treatment options leading to a limited chance of full recovery. Here, we show that gestation is a vulnerable window that can influence the predisposition to AN. By screening placental microRNA expression of naive and prenatally stressed (PNS) fetuses and assessing vulnerability to activity-based anorexia (ABA) in early adulthood, we identify miR-340 as a sexually dimorphic regulator involved in prenatal programming of ABA. PNS caused gene-body hypermethylation of placental miR-340, which is associated with reduced miR-340 expression and increased protein levels of several target transcripts; Gr, Cry2 and H3F3b. MiR-340 is linked to the expression of several nutrient transporters both in mice and human placentas. Using placenta-specific lentiviral transgenes and embryo transfer, we demonstrate the key role miR-340 plays in the mechanism involved in early life programming of ABA.

Targeting hepatic IRE1a for Treating GDF15-driven Anorexia in Chemotherapy

Project description:Anorexia and other side effects of chemotherapy significantly limit the clinical applications of these chemotherapeutic agents, with underlying mechanisms still unclear. A growing body of research reveals that elevated levels of circulating GDF15 after chemotherapy are essential in initiating anorexia and other side effects by activating GFRAL+ neurons in the brainstem. However, the full array of context-dependent transcriptional regulators controlling Gdf15 expression remains to be defined. This study reports that chemotherapy drugs acutely stimulate liver GDF15 production via selective activation of the hepatic stress sensor IRE1α, thereby controlling circulating GDF15 levels. Genetic ablation of hepatic IRE1α reduces circulating GDF15 and alleviates anorexia and body weight loss following chemotherapy drug treatments in tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, chemotherapy drugs activate hepatic IRE1α RNase activity to produce the active form of the transcription factor XBP1 to promotes the expression of Gdf15 gene in hepatocytes. Moreover, treatment with pharmacological IRE1α RNase inhibitor effectively suppresses liver Gdf15 expression and circulating GDF15 levels, resulting in improvements in chemotherapy-induced anorexia and body weight loss. Our results reveal a stress-responsive mechanism that mediates communication between the liver and brain. This mechanism can be targeted pharmacologically to alleviate anorexic side effects that accompany chemotherapy-induced body weight loss.

MeDIP-seq of ICR mouse sperm with different combinations of in utero undernutrition and postnatal undernutrition

Project description:Maternal caloric restriction during the last week of gestation resulted in low birth weight (LBW) and increased risk of LBW-associated metabolic diseases in adult life. The metabolic phenotypes transmitted to F2 generation by paternal manner without additional altered nutrition. To investigate the mechanism of this intergenerational inheritance, two Cohorts were exposed to different magnitudes of undernutrition both in utero during the last week of gestation and/or postnatal until weaning. We performed MeDIP-seq on the genomic DNA from sperm collected from these mice.

Distinct transcriptional responses across tissue-resident macrophages to short-term and long-term metabolic challenge

Project description:The innate immune system safeguards the organism from both pathogenic and environmental stressors. Even physiological levels of nutrients affect organismal and intra-cellular metabolism and challenge the immune system. In the long term, over-nutrition leads to low-grade systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate tissue-resident components of the innate immune-system –macrophages and their response to short-term and long-term nutritional challenges. We analyze the transcriptomes of seven tissue-resident macrophage populations upon metabolic challenge and identify adipose tissue macrophages and the IL-1 pathway as early sensors of metabolic changes. Furthermore, by comparing functional responses between macrophage subtypes, we propose a regulatory, anti-inflammatory role of heat shock proteins of the HSP70 family in response to a metabolic challenge. Our data provides a resource for assessing the impact of nutrition and over-nutrition on the spectrum of macrophages across tissues with a potential for identification of systemic responses.

Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss [snRNAseq]

Project description:Reducing body weight to improve metabolic health and related comorbidities is a primary goal in treating obesity. However, maintaining weight loss is a considerable challenge, especially as the body appears to retain an obesogenic memory that defends against body weight changes. Overcoming this barrier for long-term treatment success is difficult because the molecular mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon remain largely unknown. Here, by using single-nuclei RNA-sequencing, we show that both human and mouse adipose tissue retain cellular transcriptional changes after appreciable weight loss. Furthermore, we find persistent obesity-induced alterations in the mouse adipocyte epigenome, negatively affecting their function and response to metabolic stimuli. Mice carrying this obesogenic memory show accelerated rebound weight gain, and the epigenetic memory can explain future transcriptional deregulation in adipocytes in response to further high-fat diet feeding. In summary, our findings indicate the existence of an obesogenic memory, largely based on stable epigenetic changes, in mouse adipocytes, and likely other cell types. These changes appear to prime cells for pathological responses in an obesogenic environment, contributing to the problematic "yo-yo" effect often seen with dieting. Targeting these changes in the future could improve long-term weight management and health outcomes.
