Inhibiting phosphatidylcholine remodeling in adipose tissue increases insulin sensitivity [scRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Cell membrane phosphatidylcholine composition is regulated by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT); changes in membrane phosphatidylcholine saturation are implicated in metabolic disorders. Here, we identified LPCAT3 as the major isoform of LPCAT in adipose tissues and created adipocyte-specific Lpcat3-knockout mice to study adipose tissue lipid metabolism. Transcriptome sequencing and plasma adipokine profiling were used to investigate how LPCAT3 regulates adipose tissue insulin signaling. LPCAT3 deficiency reduced polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines in adipocyte plasma membranes, increasing insulin sensitivity. LPCAT3 deficiency influenced membrane lipid rafts, which activated insulin receptors and AKT in adipose tissue, and attenuated diet-induced insulin resistance. Conversely, higher LPCAT3 activity in adipose tissues from ob/ob, db/db, and high-fat diet-fed mice reduced insulin signaling. Adding polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines to mature human or mouse adipocytes in vitro worsened insulin signaling. We suggest that targeting LPCAT3 in adipose tissues to manipulate membrane phospholipid saturation is a new strategy to treat insulin resistance.

Membrane phospholipid remodeling modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis progression by regulating mitochondrial homeostasis.

Project description:Background and aims: NASH, characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, is emerging as a leading etiology of HCC. Lipidomics analyses in the liver have shown that the levels of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) are decreased in patients with NASH, but the roles of membrane PC composition in the pathogenesis of NASH have not been investigated. Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3), a phospholipid (PL) remodeling enzyme that produces polyunsaturated PLs, is a major determinant of membrane PC content in the liver. Approach and results: The expression of LPCAT3 and the correlation between its expression and NASH severity were analyzed in human patient samples. We examined the effect of Lpcat3 deficiency on NASH progression using Lpcat3 liver-specific knockout (LKO) mice. RNA sequencing, lipidomics, and metabolomics were performed in liver samples. Primary hepatocytes and hepatic cell lines were used for in vitro analyses. We showed that LPCAT3 was dramatically suppressed in human NASH livers, and its expression was inversely correlated with NAFLD activity score and fibrosis stage. Loss of Lpcat3 in mouse liver promotes both spontaneous and diet-induced NASH/HCC. Mechanistically, Lpcat3 deficiency enhances reactive oxygen species production due to impaired mitochondrial homeostasis. Loss of Lpcat3 increases inner mitochondrial membrane PL saturation and elevates stress-induced autophagy, resulting in reduced mitochondrial content and increased fragmentation. Furthermore, overexpression of Lpcat3 in the liver ameliorates inflammation and fibrosis of NASH. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that membrane PL composition modulates the progression of NASH and that manipulating LPCAT3 expression could be an effective therapeutic for NASH.

Gene expression of livers from Lpcat3fl/fl and Lpcat3fl/fl Albumin-Cre mice on chow diet

Project description:The total abundance of phosphatidylcholine (PC) is known to influence lipoprotein production. However, the role of specific phospholipid species in lipid transport has been difficult to assess due to an inability to selectively manipulate membrane composition in vivo. Here we show that the LXR-regulated phospholipid remodeling enzyme lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (Lpcat3) is a critical determinant of membrane phospholipid composition and lipoprotein production. Mice lacking Lpcat3 in the liver show defects in lipoprotein production. The objective of generating this dataset was to analyze the effects of Lpcat3 loss of function on baseline gene expression in mouse liver. This dataset compares gene expression in Lpcat3fl/fl and Lpcat3fl/fl Albumin-Cre liver samples from 12-week old male mice that were subjected to 6 hr fasting. Each sample contains tissues from 5 mice.

ANGPTL4 binds to leptin receptor to regulate ectopic bone formation and fat metabolism

Project description:Leptin protein was thought to be unique to leptin receptor (LepR), but the phenotypes of mice with mutation in LepR (db/db) and leptin (ob/ob) are not identical, and the cause remains unclear. Here, we show that db/db, but not ob/ob mice had defect in tenotomy-induced heterotopic ossification (HO), implicating alternative ligand(s) for LepR might be involved. Ligand screening revealed that ANGPTL4, a stress and fasting-induced factor, was elicited from brown adipose tissue after tenotomy, bound to LepR on PRRX1+ mesenchymal cells at the HO cite, thus promotes chondrogenesis and HO development. Disruption of LepR in PRRX1+ cells, or lineage ablation of LepR+ cells, or deletion of ANGPTL4 impeded chondrogenesis and HO in mice. Surprisingly, exogenous ANGPTL4 treatment not only promoted HO, but facilitated the transformation from white to brown adipose tissue in mice. These findings identify ANGPTL4 as a novel ligand for LepR to stimulate HO and regulate fat metabolism.

Membrane phospholipid remodeling modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis progression by regulating mitochondrial homeostasis [Lpcat3_OE]

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, is emerging as a leading etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of NASH are not well understood. Here, we show that membrane phospholipid (PL) composition determined by a remodeling process modulates the progression of NASH. The expression of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3), a PL remodeling enzyme that produces polyunsaturated PLs, is dramatically suppressed in human NASH livers compared to controls. LPCAT3 expression is inversely correlated with NAFLD activity score and fibrosis stage. Loss of Lpcat3 in mouse liver promotes the development of both spontaneous and diet-induced NASH/HCC. Mechanistically, Lpcat3 deficiency increases reactive oxygen species production, likely due to impaired mitochondrial homeostasis as demonstrated by reduced mitochondrial DNA content and fragmented mitochondrial morphology. Overexpressing Lpcat3 in the liver ameliorates inflammation and fibrosis of NASH. These results suggest that manipulating LPCAT3 expression may be an effective therapeutic strategy for NASH.
