Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is a progressive metabolic disorder that begins with aberrant triglyceride accumulation in the liver and can lead to cirrhosis and cancer. A common variant in the gene PNPLA3, encoding the protein PNPLA3-I148M, is the strongest known genetic risk factor for MASLD. Despite its discovery twenty years ago, the function of PNPLA3, and now the role of PNPLA3-I148M, remain unclear. In this study, we sought to dissect the biogenesis of PNPLA3 and PNPLA3-I148M and characterize changes induced by endogenous expression of the disease-causing variant. Contrary to bioinformatic predictions and prior studies with overexpressed proteins, we demonstrate here that PNPLA3 and PNPLA3-I148M are not endoplasmic reticulum-resident transmembrane proteins. To identify their intracellular associations, we generated a paired set of isogenic human hepatoma cells expressing PNPLA3 and PNPLA3-I148M at endogenous levels. Both proteins were enriched in lipid droplet, Golgi, and endosomal fractions. Purified PNPLA3 and PNPLA3-I148M proteins associated with phosphoinositides commonly found in these compartments. Despite a similar fractionation pattern as the wild-type variant, PNPLA3-I148M induced morphological changes in the Golgi apparatus, including increased lipid droplet-Golgi contact sites, which were also observed in I148M-expressing primary human patient hepatocytes. In addition to lipid droplet accumulation, PNPLA3-I148M expression caused significant proteomic and transcriptomic changes that resembled all stages of liver disease. Cumulatively, we validate an endogenous human cellular system for investigating PNPLA3-I148M biology and identify the Golgi apparatus as a central hub of PNPLA3-I148M-drivencellular change.

Project description:GPx4 is an important antioxidant gene that is derived from selenium. A ploymorphism in GPx4 has been associated with increased risk of colorectal and prostate cancer. This experiment decsribes the effect of change in GPx4 expression in human intestinal epithelial cell line (Caco-2).Depletion of GPx4 expression led to changes in mitochondrial pathways including oxidative phosphorylation and ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway and genes involved in apoptosis regulation Total RNA obtained from Caco-2 cells following treatment for 72hrs with GPx4 specific siRNA, or a scrambled siRNA control at 60 and 120pmol concentrations.

Project description:Fatty liver disease (FLD) caused by metabolic dysfunction is the leading cause of liver disease, and the prevalence is rising, especially in women. Although during reproductive age women are protected against FLD, for still unknown and understudied reasons some develop rapidly progressive disease at menopause. Patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) p.I148M variant accounts for the largest fraction of inherited FLD variability. Hepatic gene expression profile of 125 obese individuals stratified by sex and PNPLA3 genotype revealed higher PNPLA3 mRNA levels in women carrying PNPLA3 p.I148M variant. Furthermore, we showed that there is an estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) binding site within the PNPLA3 enhancer sequence, suggesting a specific multiplicative interaction between female sex and PNPLA3 p.I148M in determining FLD.

Project description:Mice lacking the expression of Acsl1 in the heart (Acsl1H-/-) have impaired cardiac fatty acid oxidation and develop spontaneous cardiac hypertrophy due to increased mTOR activation. To explore how the loss of ACSL1 alters gene expression, we performed a global gene expression analysis on ventricular RNA isolated from Acsl1H-/- and Acsl1flox/flox mice ten weeks after tamoxifen treatment when ACSL1 protein is completely lost and the specific activity of ACSL1 in Acsl1H-/- hearts is reduced 90% Two-condition experiment, cadiac gene expression of Acsl1H-/- vs Acsl1flox/flox mice 10 weeks after tamoxifen treatment. Biological replicates: 3-4 per condition.

Project description:In order to identify molecular mechanisms associated with PNPLA3 associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, we ran RNA sequencing on human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocyte like cells that were homozygous for the wild type PNPLA3 allele, homozygous for the risk PNPLA3 allele (I148M), or had a complete knock-out of the PNPLA3 gene. The cells were then treated with either oleic acid or palmitic acid to induce a steatotic or a lipotoxic phenotype, respectively. The cells were treated with control medium or medium supplemented with 0.25 mM oleic acid or palmitic acid for 24 hours before samples were collected for RNA sequencing.

Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in cultured primary keratinocytes isolated from newborn control (K14-cre; GPx4fl/+) and knockout (K14-cre; GPx4fl/fl) mice. Selenoproteins are essential for skin function, as targeted abolition of selenoproteins in epidermal tissue results in newborn mice manifesting gross abnormalities of skin and hair, accompanied by retarded growth and premature death. To investigate whether lack of a single selenoprotein could induce similar phenotypic effect in mice, we generated keratinocyte-specific knockout mice lacking glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), an essential selenoprotein in skin, to examine phenotypic changes resulting from the lack of GPx4 in skin. Ablation of GPx4 results in focal alopecia and disturbed hair follicle morphogenesis, with GPx4 being essential during early stages of hair follicle morphogenesis as well as for keratinocyte adhesion and proliferation in culture. We have generated mice with selective removal of the GPx4 gene in keratinocytes under the control of Keratin-14-cre (K14-cre) promoter. Comparative microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from pooled primary keratinocytes from knockout and control mice from the same litter. Array replicates were performed using RNA samples from three different litters.

Project description:Inhibition of Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) has been a mechanism of interest for metabolic disorders. DGAT1 inhibition has been shown to be a key regulator in an array of metabolic pathways; however, based on the DGAT1 KO mouse phenotype the anticipation is that pharmacological inhibition of DGAT1 could potentially lead to skin related adverse effects. One of the aims in developing small molecule DGAT1 inhibitors that target key metabolic tissues is to avoid activity on skin-localized DGAT1 enzyme. In this report we describe a modeling-based approach to identify molecules with physical properties leading to differential exposure distribution. In addition, we demonstrate histological and RNA based biomarker approaches that can detect sebaceous gland atrophy pre-clinically that could be used as potential biomarkers in a clinical setting. Mice were treated with DGAT1 inhibitors for 14 days and dorsal skin biopsies (3-5 mm^2) were taken. RNA was profiled on custom Affymetrix microarrays. The primary goal was to identify robust and consistent biomarkers of DGAT1 inibition in skin.

Project description:Abnormal granulosa cells (GCs) death contributes to cyclophosphamide (CTX) -induced primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). To investigate the contribution of GCs in POI, gene profiles of GCs exposed to CTX were assessed using RNA-Seq and bioinformatics analysis. The results showed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are enriched in ferroptosis-related pathway, which is correlated with the upregulated Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and downregulated glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX4). Using CTX-induced cell culture (COV434 and KGN cells), the levels of iron, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxide, mitochondrial superoxide, mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected by DCFDA, MitoSOX, C11-BODIPY, MitoTracker, Nonylacridine Orange (NAO), JC-1 and transmission electron microscopy respectively. The results showed that iron overload and disrupting ROS, including cytoROS, mtROS and lipROS homeostasis by HO-1 upregultion could induce ferroptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction in CTX-induced GCs. Moreover, HO-1 inhibition could suppress ferroptosis induced GPX4 depletion. This implies the role of ROS in CTX-induced ferroptosis and highlighted the effect of HO-1 modulators of improving CTX-induced ovarian damage, which may provide a theoretical basis for preventing or restoring GC and ovarian function in patients with POI.
