The Farnesoid-X-Receptor activates transcription independently of RXR at non-canonical response elements

ABSTRACT: The Farnesoid-X-Receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor (NR) known to obligately heterodimerize with Retinoid-X-Receptor (RXR). FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-α4) that drive transcription from IR-1 (inverted repeat-1) DNA motifs. More recently, FXR isoforms α2/α4 were found to activate transcription predominantly from non-canonical ER-2 (everted repeat-2) DNA motifs, mediating most metabolic effects of general FXR activation. Here, we explored molecular determinants of FXRα2 regulation from ER-2 elements through quantitative interaction proteomics, site-directed mutagenesis, and transcriptomics. We discovered that FXRα2 binds to and activates ER-2 elements in vitro and in reporter assays independently of RXR. Genome-wide analysis in mouse liver revealed higher ER-2 motif enrichment in RXR-lacking FXR binding sites. Abrogation of FXRα2:RXR heterodimerization abolished IR-1, but preserved ER-2 transactivation. Transcriptome-wide, RXR overexpression inhibited 25% of FXRα2 targets in HepG2. These genes were specifically activated by the heterodimerization-deficient mutant FXRα2-L434R, were enriched for ER-2 motifs at their promoters and were involved in lipid metabolism and ammonia detoxification. In conclusion, RXR acts as a molecular switch, promoting FXRα2 activation from IR-1 instead of ER-2 motifs. Our results showcase FXR as the first NR with RXR-dependent and independent modes of activation, highlighting a potential new layer of complexity for other RXR-heterodimerizing NRs.

FXR controls gene expression independently of RXR at non-canonical response elements

Project description:The Farnesoid-X-Receptor (FXR) is a class II nuclear receptor (NR), a class that obligately heterodimerizes with the Retinoid-X-Receptor (RXR). FXR is expressed as 4 isoforms (α1-α4) activated by bile acids that drive transcription from response elements IR-1 (inverted repeat-1). We recently showed that FXR isoforms α2 and α4 bind to non-canonical response elements ER-2 (everted repeat-2), thereby increasing mitochondrial respiratory capacity and limiting de novo lipogenesis. Binding to ER-2 motifs in mouse liver organoids represented 89% of all FXR genome wide binding. However, mechanistic differences in FXR binding and activation from these two response elements remained unexplored. Using DNA pull down followed by mass-spectrometry, we show that RXR is not involved in FXR binding to ER-2 response elements. Instead, RXR inhibited FXR binding and activation from these elements in luciferase reporters. Genome wide, RXR-lacking FXR binding sites showed higher enrichment for ER-2 motifs in mouse liver. Pharmacological and mutational abrogation of FXR-RXR heterodimerization specifically retained ER-2 transactivation capacities in luciferase reporters and HepG2 cells. Transcriptome-wide, 25% of FXR targets were inhibited upon RXR overexpression, but specifically activated by a novel heterodimerization-deficient mutant FXRα2L434R. These genes were ER-2 responsive and were involved in lipid metabolism and ammonia detoxification. In conclusion, we discovered that RXR is not required and even inhibits binding of FXRα2 to ER-2. Thus, whereas FXR α1 and α3 seem to be genuine class II NR, FXRα2 and α4 are facultative class II at ER-2 motifs. This novel feature holds promise to exploit and tailor therapeutic responses to FXR agonism.

FXR and RXRA binding in mouse liver

Project description:The Farnesoid-X-Receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor (NR) known to obligately heterodimerize with Retinoid-X-Receptor (RXR). FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-α4) that drive transcription from IR-1 (inverted repeat-1) DNA motifs. More recently, FXR isoforms α2/α4 were found to activate transcription predominantly from non-canonical ER-2 (everted repeat-2) DNA motifs, mediating most metabolic effects of general FXR activation.Here, we explored whether co-occupancy of FXR and RXR in the mouse liver has an influence on DNA motif binding preference. We found RXR acts as a molecular switch, promoting FXRα2 activation from IR-1 instead of ER-2 motifs. Our results showcase FXR as the first NR with RXR-dependent and independent modes of activation, highlighting a potential new layer of complexity for other RXR-heterodimerizing NRs.

Hepatic Farnesoid X-Receptor Isoforms α2 and α4 Differentially Modulate Bile Salt and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Mice

Project description:The nuclear receptor FXR acts as an intracellular bile salt sensor that regulates synthesis and transport of bile salts within their enterohepatic circulation. In addition, FXR is involved in control of a variety of crucial metabolic pathways. Four FXR splice variants are known, i.e. FXRα1-4. Although these isoforms show differences in spatial and temporal expression patterns as well as in transcriptional activity, the physiological relevance hereof has remained elusive. We have evaluated specific roles of hepatic FXRα2 and FXRα4 by stably expressing these isoforms using liver-specific self-complementary adeno-associated viral vectors in total body FXR knock-out mice. The hepatic gene expression profile of the FXR knock-out mice was largely normalized by both isoforms. Yet, differential effects were also apparent; FXRα2 was more effective in reducing elevated HDL levels and transrepressed hepatic expression of Cyp8B1, the regulator of cholate synthesis. The latter coincided with a switch in hydrophobicity of the bile salt pool. Furthermore, FXRα2-transduction caused an increased neutral sterol excretion compared to FXRα4 without affecting intestinal cholesterol absorption. Our data show, for the first time, that hepatic FXRα2 and FXRα4 differentially modulate bile salt and lipoprotein metabolism in mice.

Bioenergetic cues shift FXR splicing towards FXRα2 to modulate hepatic lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism

Project description:Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays a prominent role in hepatic lipid metabolism. The FXR gene encodes four proteins with structural differences suggestive of discrete biological functions about which little is known. We show that FXR isoforms have specific effects on hepatic metabolism and uncover novel pathways under their control. Gene expression profiling of hepatocytes expressing each FXR variant revealed large differences in their target gene sets. Notably, FXRα2 (but not α1) activates a broad transcriptional program in hepatocytes conducive to lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and ketogenesis. Consequently, FXRα2 decreases cellular lipid accumulation and improves insulin sensitivity. FXRα2 expression in Fxr-/- mouse liver activates a similar gene program and robustly decreases hepatic triglyceride levels. On the other hand, FXRα1 reduces hepatic triglyceride content to a lesser extent and does so through regulation of lipogenic gene expression. Bioenergetic cues, such as fasting and exercise, dynamically regulate Fxr splicing in mouse liver to increase Fxrα2 expression. Our results show that the main FXR variants in human liver (α1 and α2) reduce hepatic lipid accumulation through distinct mechanisms and to different degrees. Thus, pharmacological or lifestyle interventions, such as exercise, aimed at modulating hepatic FXR splicing may improve the therapeutic efficacy of FXR agonists.

FXR isoform selective DNA binding in mouse liver organoids

Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids that regulates metabolic processes. FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-4), and their relative abundance is specific to tissue and bio-energetic conditions (Correia JC et al. 2015). Depending on the FXR isoform expressed, there is a degree of selectivity in target-genes activation. However, there is currently no data on how isoform-linked target selectivity is achieved. In this study we investigate the DNA binding profile of FXR isoforms on mouse liver organoids treated briefly with the FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA). From this analysis we concluded that FXR isoforms α2 and α4 binds to additional DNA regions, enriched for a specific discriminating binding motif. This binding led to isoform-selective gene regulation. Therefore, DNA binding selectivity therefore plays a defining role in FXR isoform-specific effects.

VDR ChIP-seq in human monocytic THP-1 cell line

Project description:Treatment with calcitriol, a specific VDR agonist, augmented the heterodimerization between VDR and RXR. We also wanted to investigate its impact on VDR binding to genomic regions. ChIP-seq experiments were carried out with the human monocytic THP-1 cell line under either vehicle (1:1 DMSO-ethanol) or calcitriol (100 nM) treatment conditions. Our finding is that calcitriol may have both a stimulatory or an inhibitory effect on VDR binding depending on the presence of its specific response element (VDRE), a less specific nuclear receptor (NR) half-site or absence thereof ("None"). Upon calcitriol activation, VDRE-containing genomic regions showed considerably higher occupancies on average than in the control, vehicle-treated sample. A similar induction, but to a much lesser extent, was detected for the NR half-site-containing regions. In contrast, genomic regions not containing any of these specific response elements did not show any induction upon calcitriol treatment; they rather showed a decrease of binding in promoter regions. We can conclude that ligand-induced heterodimerization and binding of the NR to its response elements are correlated events.

FXR isoform selective transcriptional activation in mouse liver organoids

Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids that regulates metabolic processes. FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-4), and their relative abundance is specific to tissue and bio-energetic conditions (Correia JC et al. 2015). Depending on the FXR isoform expressed, there is a degree of selectivity in target-genes activation. In this dataset, we defined FXR-isoforms selective effects on transcription in mouse liver organoids after treatment with the FXR agonist Obeticholic acid(OCA). By linking the DNA binding profiles of the FXR isoforms with their transcriptional output, we concluded that differential DNA binding plays a defining role in FXR-isoform target gene selectivity.

RNA-seq of brown adipocyte mouse cells treated with different concentrations of DNA origami structures with organized insulin molecules or free insulin molecules against untreated controls

Project description:Insulin binds the insulin receptor (IR), which in turn has showed to form nanoclusters at the cell membrane. Trying to exploit the nanoscale spatial organization of IR, we developed rod-like insulin-DNA-origami nanostructures carrying different numbers of insulin molecules. These structures (referred to as NanoRods, or NR) were then utilized to investigate receptor activity to spatial distribution of insulin molecules. One part of this investigation was to study the transcriptional response of brown adipocytes treated with NR bound to one insulin (NR-1) and NR bound to seven insulin (NR-7), and compare to untreated controls. Furthermore, free insulin was also used to ensure that similar pathways were activated when using NR-bound insulin.

FXR isoform selective effects on hepatoma cell line HepG2

Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids that regulates bile acid metabolism, glucose and cholesterol homeostasis. FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-4), and their relative abundance is tissue specific. Human livers express predominantly FXR isoforms α1 and α2. From mouse studies we know that the FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) regulates expression of many genes in the liver. However, there is currently no data on the effects of OCA on FXR isoform selective gene regulation. This is particularly relevant since the relative FXR isoform amounts in the liver are regulated by general bioenergetic cues (Correia JC et al. 2015). In this study we investigate the effect of variations in FXR isoforms α1 or α2 expression on HepG2 cell lines response to treatment with OCA.

The IL-4/STAT6/PPARγ signaling axis is driving the expansion of the RXR heterodimer cistrome, providing complex ligand responsiveness in macrophages I

Project description:Retinoid X receptor (RXR) is an obligate heterodimeric partner of several nuclear receptors (NRs), and as such a central component of NR signaling regulating the immune and metabolic phenotype of macrophages. Importantly, the binding motifs of RXR heterodimers are enriched in the tissue-selective open chromatin regions of resident macrophages, suggesting specific roles in subtype specification. Recent genome-wide studies revealed that RXR binds to thousands of sites in the genome, but the mechanistic details how the cistrome is established and serves ligand-induced transcriptional activity remained elusive. Here we show that IL-4-mediated macrophage plasticity results in a greatly extended RXR cistrome via the direct and indirect actions of the transcription factor STAT6. Activation of STAT6 leads to chromatin remodeling and RXR recruitment to de novo enhancers. In addition, STAT6 triggers a secondary transcription factor wave, including PPARγ. PPARγ appears to be indispensable for the development of RXR-bound de novo enhancers, whose activities can be modulated in a very restricted manner by the ligands of the PPARγ:RXR heterodimer. Collectively, these data reveal the mechanisms leading to the dynamic extension of the RXR cistrome, identify the lipid-sensing enhancer set of alternatively polarized macrophages and suggest a pervasive ligand-independent mechanism of action of the receptors.
