ASGR1 Is a Promising Target for Lipid Reduction in Pigs with PON2 As Its Inhibitor

ABSTRACT: Although the role of asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) in lowering lipid levels is well established, recent studies indicate that ASGR1 inhibition can cause unexpected liver damage in pigs, raising a serious issue about whether ASGR1 can be a good target for treating ASCVD. Here, we utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 system to regenerate ASGR1-knockout pigs, who displayed decreased lipid profiles without observable liver damage, which were confirmed by the lower levels of serum ALT and AST, reduced expression of inflammation markers, and normal histological morphology. Also, we implemented immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry (IP-MS) and discovered that Paraoxonase-2 (PON2) can interact with and significantly degrade ASGR1 in a dose-dependent manner. This degradation led to reduced lipid levels in mice, accompanied by little inflammation. Our study highlights the effectiveness and safety of degrading ASGR1 to reduce lipid levels in pigs and provides a potential inhibitor of ASGR1.

Hypomorphic ASGR1 Modulates Lipid Homeostasis via SREBPs Network

Project description:A population genetic study identified that the asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) mutation carriers had significantly lower non-HDL-c levels and reduced risks of cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanism behind this phenomenon remained unclear. Here, we established Asgr1 knockout mice that represented a plasma lipid profile with significantly lower non-HDL-c and triglyceride caused by decreased secretion and increased uptake of VLDL/LDL. These two phenotypes were linked with the decreased expression of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), two key target genes of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Furthermore, there were less nSREBPs on account of more SREBPs being trapped in endoplasmic reticulum, which was caused by an increased expression of insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1), an anchor of SREBPs. Logically, two rescue experiments were conducted in ASGR1 deficient condition. Both INSIG1 knockdown and ASGR1 rescue independently reversed the ASGR1-mutated phenotypes, restoring the SREBP signaling manifested by improved APOB secretion and reduced LDL uptake. Our observation demonstrated a novel axis of ASGR1-INSIG1-SREBPs regulating lipid hemostasis, and hypomorphic manipulation of ASGR1 leads to significant reduction of lipid content via less nSREBPs. It provides multiple potential targets, including ASGR, for lipid-lowering drug development.

Deficiency of ASGR1 promotes liver injury by increasing GP73-mediated hepatic endoplasmic reticulum stress

Project description:Liver injury is a core pathological process in the majority of liver diseases, yet the genetic factors predisposing individuals to its initiation and progression remain poorly understood. Here we show that asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1), a lectin specifically expressed in the liver, is downregulated in patients with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis and male mice with liver injury. ASGR1 deficiency exacerbates while its overexpression mitigates acetaminophen-induced acute and CCl4-induced chronic liver injuries in male mice. Mechanistically, ASGR1 binds to an endoplasmic reticulum stress mediator GP73 and facilitates its lysosomal degradation. ASGR1 depletion increases circulating GP73 levels and promotes the interaction between GP73 and BIP to activate endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to liver injury. Neutralization of GP73 not only attenuates ASGR1 deficiency-induced liver injuries but also improves survival in mice received a lethal dose of acetaminophen. Collectively, these findings identify ASGR1 as a potential genetic determinant of susceptibility to liver injury and propose it as a therapeutic target for the treatment of liver injury.

The loss of paraoxonase-2 activity aggravates lipid accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress through the impaired autophagy pathway in in vitro fatty liver model

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly prevalent immunometabolic disease that can progress to hepatic cirrhosis and cancer. NAFLD pathogenesis is extremely complex and is associated with diverse features including oxidative stress, impaired mitochondrial function andlipid metabolism, and cellular inflammation. Thus, in-depth research on its underlying mechanisms and investigation into a potential drug target that has overarching effects on these features will provide benefits towards discovering effective treatments for NAFLD. Here, we examined the role of endogenous paraoxonase-2 (PON2), a membrane protein with reported antioxidant activity, in in vitro fatty liver model. We found that the hepatic loss of PON2 activity aggravated steatosis and oxidative stress under lipotoxic condition, and our transcriptome analysis revealed that PON2 deficiency disrupts the activation of numerous functional pathways closely related to NAFLD pathogenesis, including mitochondrial respiratory capacity, lipid metabolism, liver fibrosis, and hepatic inflammation. PON2 promoted the activation of overall autophagy pathway, especially mitophagy cargo sequestration, which may be considered as an underlying mechanism that contributed to the role of PON2 in alleviating oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and inflammation. These results provide mechanistic foundation on the prospect of targeting PON2 for the development of novel therapeutics for NAFLD in the future.

ASGR1 deficiency diverts lipids toward adipose tissue but results in liver damage during obesity.

Project description:Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1), primarily expressed on hepatocytes, promotes the clearance and the degradation of glycoproteins, including lipoproteins, from the circulation. In humans, loss-of-function variants of ASGR1 are associated with a favorable metabolic profile and reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The molecular mechanisms by which ASGR1 could affect the onset of metabolic syndrome and obesity are unclear. Therefore, here we investigated the contribution of ASGR1 in the development of metabolic syndrome and obesity.

Paraoxonase 2 Serves a Proapopotic Function in Mouse and Human Cells in Response to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum-Sensing Molecule N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-Homoserine Lactone.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa use quorum-sensing molecules, including N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-homoserine lactone (C12), for intercellular communication. C12 activated apoptosis in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) from both wild type (WT) and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (WT MEF and DKO MEF that were responsive to C12, DKORM-BM- MEF): nuclei fragmented; mitochondrial membrane potential (M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^Hmito) depolarized; Ca2+M-BM- was released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), increasing cytosolic [Ca2+] (Cacyto); caspase 3/7 was activated. DKORM-BM- MEF had been isolated from a nonclonal pool of DKO MEF that were non-responsive to C12 (DKONRM-BM- MEF). RNAseq analysis, qPCR and western blots showed that WT and DKORM-BM- MEF both expressed genes associated with cancer, including paraoxonase 2 (PON2), while DKONRM-BM- MEF expressed little PON2. Adenovirus-mediated expression of human PON2 in DKONRM-BM- MEF rendered them responsive to C12: M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^HmitoM-BM- depolarized, CacytoM-BM- increased and caspase 3/7 activated. Human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells expressed low levels of endogenous PON2, and these cells were also less responsive to C12. Overexpression of PON2, but not PON2-H114Q (no lactonase activity) in HEK293T cells caused them to become sensitive to C12. Because [C12] may reach high levels in biofilms in lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, PON2 lactonase activity may control M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^Hmito, Ca2+M-BM- release from the ER and apoptosis in CF airway epithelia. Coupled with previous data, these results also indicate that PON2 uses its lactonase activity to prevent Bax- and Bak-dependent apoptosis in response to common proapoptotic drugs like doxorubicin, staurosporine but activates Bax- and Bak-independent apoptosis in response to C12. Gene expression profiling of mouse embryo fibroblasts from WT and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (C12 responsive and non-reponsive cell lines).

The enzyme paraoxonase-2 modulates hematopoiesis through redox signaling

Project description:Long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) reside in bone marrow (BM) niches with low levels of oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS enhancement results in differentiation of LT-HSCs. Redox disturbances are involved in BM failure and leukemia. Paraoxonase-2 (PON2) has been shown to be important for ROS control. However, the role of PON2 in the hematopoietic system has not been addressed. Analysis of young mice with inactivated Pon2 gene (Pon2-/- mice; 3 months) revealed changes in quantity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which indicate changes in cell differentiation. Experiments with aged PON2-/- mice (>9 months) showed alterations of the HSPC compartment indicating changed self-renewal ability of HSCs and myeloid skewing. Reciprocal BM transplantation reveals cell intrinsic as well as extrinsic phenotypes. We observed markedly enhanced superoxide levels in BM as well as slightly enhanced total ROS level in short term (ST)-HSCs and multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs) of young mice. In aged mice, total ROS level was slightly increased in all 3 fractions of the Lin-, Sca1+, ckit+ (LSK) population. No changes in the amount of DNA double-strand breaks in LSK cells and decreased apoptosis rates in LT-HSCs of young as well as LT- and ST-HSCs of aged PON2-/- mice were seen, indicating a strong compensation mechanism. Changes of gene expression in PON2-/- LT-HSCs identified by RNA sequencing strengthened our conclusions. Additionally, competitive and serial bone marrow transplantation experiments exposed advantages of PON2-/- BMCs in multi-lineage reconstitution. Collectively, these analyses propose PON2 as crucial redox control enzyme in HSCs.

Hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) are derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in vitro, but differentiation protocols commonly give rise to a heterogeneous mixture of cells. This variability confounds the evaluation of in vitro functional assays performed using HLCs. We demonstrate the purification of a sub-population of functional HLCs differentiated from multiple hPSC lines using the hepatocyte surface marker Asialoglycoprotein Receptor 1 (ASGR1). We analyzed the expression profile of ASGR1-positive cells by microarray, and tested their ability to perform mature hepatocyte functions (albumin and urea secretion, cytochrome activity). By these measures, ASGR1-positive HLCs are enriched for the gene expression profile and functional characteristics of primary hepatocytes compared to unsorted HLCs.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa use quorum-sensing molecules, including N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-homoserine lactone (C12), for intercellular communication. C12 activated apoptosis in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) from both wild type (WT) and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (WT MEF and DKO MEF that were responsive to C12, DKOR MEF): nuclei fragmented; mitochondrial membrane potential (∆ψmito) depolarized; Ca2+ was released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), increasing cytosolic [Ca2+] (Cacyto); caspase 3/7 was activated. DKOR MEF had been isolated from a nonclonal pool of DKO MEF that were non-responsive to C12 (DKONR MEF). RNAseq analysis, qPCR and western blots showed that WT and DKOR MEF both expressed genes associated with cancer, including paraoxonase 2 (PON2), while DKONR MEF expressed little PON2.

The effects of 3OC12-HSL on global gene expression in primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC).

Project description:Analysis of the effect of a bacterial quorum sensing molecule on in-vitro culture of human endothelial cells at gene expression levels. Objective: Chronic infection has long been postulated as a stimulus for atherogenesis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection has been associated with increased atherosclerosis in rats, and the bacteria produce a quorum sensing molecule 3-oxo-dodecynoyl-homoserine lactone (3OC12-HSL) that is critical for colonization and virulence. Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) hydrolyzes 3OC12-HSL and also protects against the effects of oxidized phospholipids thought to contribute to atherosclerosis. We now report the response of human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) to 3OC12-HSL and oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (Ox-PAPC) in relation to PON2 expression. Methods and Results: Using expression profiling and network modeling, we identified the unfolded protein response (UPR), cell cycle genes, and the MAPK signaling pathway to be heavily involved in the HAEC response to 3OC12-HSL. The network also showed striking similarities to a network created based on HAEC response to Ox-PAPC, a major component of minimally-modified LDL. HAEC in which PON2 was silenced by siRNA showed increased pro-inflammatory and UPR responses when treated with 3OC12-HSL or Ox-PAPC. Conclusion: 3OC12-HSL and Ox-PAPC influence similar inflammatory pathways. Quorum sensing molecules such as 3OC12-HSL contribute to the pro-atherogenic effects of chronic infection and the anti-atherogenic effects of PON2 include destruction of quorum sensing molecules. 4 HAEC lines from different donors were treated with 3-O-C12 HSL or control (medium).
