O-GlcNAc transferase acts as a critical nutritional node for the control of liver homeostasis

ABSTRACT: O-GlcNAcylation is a reversible post-translational modification controlled by the activity of two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA). In the liver, O-GlcNAcylation has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism underlying normal liver physiology and metabolic disease.To address whether OGT acts as a critical hepatic nutritional node, mice with a constitutive hepatocyte-specific deletion of OGT (OGTLKO) were generated.Analyses of 4-week-old OGTLKO mice revealed significant oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and DNA damage, together with inflammation and fibrosis, in the liver. Susceptibility to oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress- induced apoptosis was also elevated in OGTLKO hepatocytes. Although OGT expression was partially recovered in the liver of 8- week-old OGTLKO mice, hepatic injury and fibrosis were not rescued but rather worsened with time. Interestingly, weaning of OGTLKO mice on a ketogenic diet (low carbohydrate, high fat) fully prevented the hepatic alterations induced by OGT deletion, indicating that reduced carbohydrate intake protects an OGT-deficient liver. These findings pinpoint OGT as a key mediator of hepatocyte homeostasis and survival upon carbohydrate intake and validate OGTLKO mice as a valuable model for assessing therapeutical approaches of advanced liver fibrosis.

Genome-wide changes in OGT-deficient mouse liver tissue

Project description:Over a billion people suffer from chronic liver diseases worldwide, which often leads to fibrosis and then cirrhosis. Treatments for fibrosis remain experimental, in part because no unifying mechanism has been identified that initiates liver fibrosis. O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) plays a pro-survival role under stress in many tissues. Here we report that OGT protects against hepatocyte necroptosis and initiation of liver fibrosis. Decreased O-GlcNAc levels were seen in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and in mice with ethanol-induced liver injury. Liver-specific O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) knockout (OGT-LKO) mice progressed to liver fibrosis at 10 weeks of age. OGT-deficient hepatocytes underwent necroptosis. These findings identify OGT as a key suppressor of hepatocyte necroptosis and OGT-LKO mice may serve as an effective spontaneous genetic model of liver fibrosis.

Regulation of Liver Regeneration by Hepatocyte O-GlcNAcylation in Mice

Project description:We studied the role of the post-translational modification called O-GlcNAcylation during liver regeneration. Here we generated O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT-KO) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA-KO) hepatocyte-specific knock-out mice. 70% partial hepatectomy (PHX) was performed to induce liver regeneration. We showed that OGA-KO mice had normal liver regeneration whereas OGT-KO mice had a defect in the termination of liver regeneration.

Cancer-cell-secreted miR-122 suppresses O-GlcNAcylation to promote muscle proteolysis

Project description:Decline in skeletal muscle mass and lower muscular strength are prognostic factors in advanced human cancers. We found that breast cancer suppressed O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) protein modification in skeletal muscle through extracellular-vesicle-encapsulated miR-122 that targeted O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Specifically, O-GlcNAcylation of ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) Ca2+ release channel competed with NEK10-mediated phosphorylation and increased K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, whereas O-GlcNAcylation of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA3) increased K63-linked ubiquitination and elevated protein level. Muscular protein O-GlcNAcylation was regulated by hypoxia and lactate through HIF1A-dependent OGT promoter activation, and elevated after exercise. Suppressed O-GlcNAcylation in the setting of cancer, especially through increased RYR1 protein, led to Ca2+ leak and calpain protease activation to trigger myofibrillar protein cleavage. This was associated with reduced skeletal muscle mass and contractility in tumor-bearing mice. Our findings link O-GlcNAcylation to muscular protein homeostasis and contractility, and reveal a mechanism of cancer-associated muscle dysregulation.

Disruption of Drp1 in the liver protects mice against diet-induced obesity through induction of fibroblast growth factor 21

Project description:Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) physically interact by close structural juxtaposition, via the mitochondrial-associated ER membrane. Recently, great advances have been made in the understanding of inter-organelle communication between the ER and mitochondria. To clarify the role of mitochondrial dynamics in this communication, we generated mice lacking the mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in the liver (Drp1LiKO). While intake of a high-fat diet (HFD) resulted in histological changes characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, apoptosis, necrosis and fibrosis, reminiscent of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, Drp1LiKO mice showed decreased fat mass and were protected from HFD-induced obesity. Analysis of liver gene expression profiles demonstrated marked elevation of ER stress markers. In addition, we observed increased expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) through induction of activating transcription factor 4 and X-box binding protein 1, master regulators of the integrated stress response.

O-glcnAc reprograms cellular energetics

Project description:Dysfunctional mitochondria and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote chronic diseases, which have spurred interest in the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions. Previously, we have demonstrated that disruption of post-translational modification of proteins with β-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O- glcnAcylation) via overexpression of the O-glcnAc–regulating enzymes O- glcnAc transferase (OGT) or O- glcnAcase (OGA) impairs mitochondrial function. Here, we report that sustained alterations in O- glcnAcylation either by pharmacological or genetic manipulation also alters metabolic function. Sustained O-glcnAc elevation in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells increased OGA expression and reduced cellular respiration and ROS generation. Cells with elevated O-glcnAc levels had elongated mitochondria and increased mitochondrial membrane potential, and RNA-Seq in SH-SY5Y cells indicated transcriptome reprogramming and down regulation of the NRF2-mediated antioxidant response. Sustained O-glcnAcylation in mice brain and liver validated the metabolic phenotypes observed in the cells, and OGT knockdown in the liver elevated ROS levels, impaired respiration, and increased the NRF2 antioxidant response. Moreover, elevated O-glcnAc levels promoted weight loss and lowered respiration in mice and skewed the mice toward carbohydrate-dependent metabolism as determined by indirect calorimetry. In summary, sustained elevation in O-glcnAcylation coupled with increased OGA expression reprograms energy metabolism, a finding that has potential implications for the etiology, development, and management of metabolic diseases.

Deficient Endoplasmic Reticulum-Mitochondrial Phosphatidylserine Transfer Causes Liver Disease

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease worldwide. Here, we show that the mitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) protects against liver disease. Reduced Mfn2 expression was detected in liver biopsies from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Moreover, reduced Mfn2 levels were detected in mouse models of steatosis or NASH, and its re-expression in a NASH mouse model ameliorated the disease. Liver-specific ablation of Mfn2 in mice provoked inflammation, triglyceride accumulation, fibrosis, and liver cancer. We demonstrate that Mfn2 binds phosphatidylserine (PS) and can specifically extract PS into membrane domains, favoring PS transfer to mitochondria and mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) synthesis. Consequently, hepatic Mfn2 deficiency reduces PS transfer and phospholipid synthesis, leading to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the development of a NASH-like phenotype and liver cancer. Ablation of Mfn2 in liver reveals that disruption of ER-mitochondrial PS transfer is a new mechanism involved in the development of liver disease.

Polysome profiling in liver identifies dynamic regulation of endoplasmic reticulum translatome by obesity and fasting

Project description:Obesity-associated metabolic complications are generally considered to emerge from abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, whereas the status of protein metabolism is not well studied. Here, we performed comparative polysome and associated transcriptional profiling analyses to study the dynamics and functional implications of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein synthesis in the mouse liver under conditions of obesity and nutrient deprivation. lean wild type and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice with or without overnight fasting were sacrificed with their liver tissues removed. ER-associated polysomes were purified and analyzed by microarray.

Identification of m6A-modified YTHDF2 targets by high-throughput m6A-seq and RIP-seq in HBV-infected HepG2 cells [m6A-seq]

Project description:We investigated the role of O-GlcNAcylation of m6A reader YTHDF2 in HBV-related hepatocarcinogenesis and progression. We found that YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation was elevated upon HBV infection through upregulated HBP. OGT-mediated YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation at Ser263 enhanced its protein stability, and subsequently changed the gene expression profiles. Mechanistically, we identified YTHDF2 stabilized minichromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) and MCM5 mRNAs in an m6A dependent manner by high-throughput profiling of m6A-seq and RIP-seq, thereby promoting HBV-related HCC tumorigenesis. Importantly, our study proposed that targeting OGT-mediated YTHDF2 O-GlcNAcylation may be a novel strategy for potential treatment of HBV-associated liver cancer.
