Project description:Disease causal mechanism remains largely unknown for most Alzheimer’s disease (AD) genome-wide association studies (GWAS) risk loci, including the Clusterin (CLU) locus. Here, leveraging our approach to identify functional GWAS risk variants that show allele-specific open chromatin (ASoC), we nominated a putative AD causal SNP rs1532278 (T/C) of CLU that showed strong ASoC specifically in iPSC-derived excitatory neurons (iGlut). We found the AD protective allele T of rs1532278 elevated neuronal CLU and promoted neuron excitability. Transcriptomic analysis of iGlut (T/T vs. C/C) co-cultured with mouse astrocytes surprisingly showed allele T upregulated lipid synthesis and astrocytic lipid metabolism pathways. Further corroborative functional studies mechanistically tied allele T to CLU-facilitated neuron-glia lipid transfer and astrocytic lipid droplet (LD) formation. Interestingly, astrocytes with more LD were found to uptake less glutamate likely due to reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may contribute to CLU-promoted neuron excitability. Our study uncovered a previously unappreciated protective role of neuronal CLU in maintaining proper neuronal excitability through lipid-mediated neuron-glia communication.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE8290: Comprehensive analysis of PPARα-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism by expression profiling - 1; GSE8291: Comprehensive analysis of PPARα-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism by expression profiling - 2; GSE8292: Comprehensive analysis of PPARα-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism by expression profiling - 3; GSE8295: Comprehensive analysis of PPARα-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism by expression profiling - 4; GSE8302: Comprehensive analysis of PPARα-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism by expression profiling - 5; PPARalpha is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of nutrient metabolism and inflammation. Although much is already known about the function of PPARalpha in hepatic lipid metabolism, many PPARalpha-dependent pathways and genes have yet to be discovered. In order to obtain an overview of PPARalpha-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism, and to probe for novel candidate PPARalpha target genes, livers from several animal studies in which PPARalpha was activated and/or disabled were analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChips. Numerous novel PPARalpha-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism were identified. Out of this set of genes, eight genes were singled out for study of PPARalpha-dependent regulation in mouse liver and in mouse, rat, and human primary hepatocytes, including thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip), electron-transferring-flavoprotein beta polypeptide (Etfb), electron-transferring-flavoprotein dehydrogenase (Etfdh), phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (Pctp), endothelial lipase (EL, Lipg), adipose triglyceride lipase (Pnpla2), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL, Lipe), and monoglyceride lipase (Mgll). Using an in silico screening approach, one or more PPAR response elements (PPREs) were identified in each of these genes. Regulation of Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll, which are involved in triglyceride hydrolysis, was studied under conditions of elevated hepatic lipids. In wild-type mice fed a high fat diet, the decrease in hepatic lipids following treatment with the PPARalpha agonist Wy14643 was paralleled by significant up-regulation of Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll, suggesting that induction of triglyceride hydrolysis may contribute to the anti-steatotic role of PPARalpha. Our study illustrates the power of transcriptional profiling to uncover novel PPARalpha-regulated genes and pathways in liver. Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Project description:Blood vessels are continually exposed to circulating lipids and elevations of ApoB containing lipoproteins cause atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein metabolism is highly regulated by lipolysis, largely at the level of the capillary endothelium lining metabolically active tissues. How large blood vessels, the site of atherosclerotic vascular disease, regulate the flux of fatty acids (FA) into triglyceride (TG) rich lipid droplets (LD) is not known. Here, we show that deletion of the enzyme, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in the endothelium, leads to neutral lipid accumulation in vessels and impairs endothelial dependent vascular tone and nitric oxide synthesis to promote endothelial dysfunction. Mechanistically, the loss of ATGL leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced inflammation, thereby promoting EC dysfunction. Consistent with this mechanism, deletion of endothelial ATGL markedly increases lesion size in a model of atherosclerosis. Together, these data demonstrate that the dynamics of FA flux through LD impacts EC homeostasis and consequently large vessel function during normal physiology and in a chronic disease state

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) generate new neurons throughout adulthood. However, the underlying regulatory processes are still not fully understood. Lipid metabolism plays an important role in regulating NSPC activity: build-up of lipids is crucial for NSPC proliferation, whereas break-down of lipids has been shown to regulate NSPC quiescence. Despite their central role for cellular lipid metabolism, the role of lipid droplets (LDs), the lipid storing organelles, in NSPCs remains underexplored. Here we show that LDs are highly abundant in adult mouse NSPCs, and that LD accumulation is significantly altered upon fate changes such as quiescence and differentiation. NSPC proliferation is influenced by the number of LDs, inhibition of LD build-up, breakdown or usage, and the asymmetric inheritance of LDs during mitosis. Furthermore, high LD-containing NSPCs have increased metabolic activity and capacity, but do not suffer from increased oxidative damage. Together, these data indicate an instructive role for LDs in driving NSPC behaviour.

Project description:Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic lipid storage organelles. They are tightly linked to metabolism and can exert protective functions, making them important players in health and disease. Most LD studies in vivo rely on staining methods, providing only a snapshot. We therefore developed a LD-reporter mouse by endogenously labelling the LD coat protein perilipin 2 (PLIN2) with tdTomato, enabling staining-free fluorescent LD visualisation in living and fixed tissues and cells. Here we validate this model under standard and high-fat diet conditions and demonstrate that LDs are highly abundant in various cell types in the healthy brain, including neurons, astrocytes, ependymal cells, neural stem/progenitor cells and microglia. Furthermore, we also show that LDs are abundant during brain development and can be visualized using live-imaging of embryonic slices. Taken together, our tdTom-Plin2 mouse serves as a novel tool to study LDs and their dynamics under both physiological and diseased conditions in all tissues expressing Plin2.
