Endotoxin stimulates lipolysis in bovine adipocytes

ABSTRACT: As cows progress from pregnancy to lactation, the adipose tissues (AT) undergo adaptations characterized by the mobilization of free fatty acids (FFA) through lipolysis to address energy deficiencies. Typically, in clinically healthy cows, the intensity of lipolysis decreases during lactation. However, when the release of FFA surpasses tissue requirements, it leads to the accumulation of lipid-derived products, heightening the susceptibility of cows to metabolic and infectious diseases. A second factor correlated to disease incidence in dairy cows is the presence of bacterial endotoxins in blood. The last is implicated in AT lipolysis and dysfunction in mammals. However, the mechanisms by which endotoxin activates lipolysis and affects the formation of lipid derived products in bovine adipocyte remains unknown. We hypothesize that endotoxin triggers AT dysfunction by increasing the synthesis and release of lipid-derived products with proinflammatory potential. Preadipocytes were obtained from subcutaneous AT of multiparous Holstein cows (n=9). Adipogenesis was induced for 7 d and cells were incubated with endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide 1µg/mL (LPS)] for up to 7 h. Beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol (ISO; 1 µM) was used as an activator of canonical lipolysis. The antilipolytic effect of insulin was evaluated alone or in combination with LPS. Lipolysis was evaluated by the release of glycerol in the media. RNA from adipocytes was sequenced in Illumina NextSeqData, and Differential Expressed Genes (DEG) identified. Enrichment and network analyses were performed in Ingenuity Pathways (IPA). Our findings provide evidence supporting the higher abundance of lipid-derived products with proinflammatory activity and dysfunction related to inflammatory activation.

Project description:Increased energy demands to support lactation, coupled with lowered feed intake capacity results in negative energy balance (NEB) and is typically characterized by extensive mobilization of body energy reserves in the early postpartum dairy cow. The catabolism of stored lipid leads to an increase in the systemic concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and -hydroxy butyrate (BHB). Oxidation of NEFA in the liver result in the increased production of reactive oxygen species and the onset of oxidative stress and can lead to disruption of normal metabolism and physiology. The immune system is depressed in the peripartum period and early lactation and dairy cows are therefore more vulnerable to bacterial infections causing mastitis and or endometritis at this time. A bovine Affymetrix oligonucleotide array was used to determine global gene expression in the spleen of dairy cows in the early postpartum period. Spleen tissue was removed post mortem from five severe NEB (SNEB) and five medium NEB (MNEB) cows 15 days postpartum.SNEB increased systemic concentrations of NEFA and BHB, and white blood cell and lymphocyte numbers were decreased in SNEB animals. A total of 545 genes were altered by SNEB. Network analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that SNEB was associated with NRF2-mediated oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, natural killer cell signaling, p53 signaling, downregulation of IL-15, BCL-2, and IFN- ; upregulation of BAX and CHOP and increased apoptosis with a potential negative impact on innate and adaptive immunity. Multiparous Holstein-Friesian cows (n=24) were blocked 2 weeks prior to expected calving date according to parity, body condition score, and previous lactation yield (average lactation 6477M-BM-1354kg) and randomly allocated to mild (MNEB; n=12) or severe (SNEB; n=12) NEB groups. MNEB cows were fed ad lib grass silage and 8 kg day-1 concentrates and milked once daily; SNEB cows were fed 25 kg day-1 silage and 4kg day-1 concentrate and milked three times daily. Measurements of body condition score and EB were used to select cows which showed extremes in EB from each group (MNEB, n=5; SNEB, n=5). Cows were slaughtered on days 6-7 of the first follicular wave after calving (mean number of days post-partum: MNEB mean 13.6 M-BM-1 0.75, range 11M-bM-^@M-^S15; SNEB mean 14.3 M-BM-1 0.56, range 13M-bM-^@M-^S16), based on daily transrectal ultrasonography.At slaughter the entire spleen was removed and weighed, and samples weighing 1 g were dissected, rinsed in RNase-free phosphate buffer, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, stored for 4 h in dry ice, and subsequently stored at 80M-BM-0C.
