High fat diet feeding impairs neutrophil phagocytosis, bacterial killing, and neutrophil induced hematopoietic regeneration.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases have risen significantly over the past decades. Chronic inflammation in obesity is a link between obesity and secondary disease. While macrophages and monocytes are known to contribute to metabolic disease risk during diet exposure, little is known about the contribution of neutrophils. We assessed the impact of obesity on neutrophils using a 16-week model of diet-induced obesity. Bone marrow (BM) neutrophils significantly expanded with chronic high-fat diet (HFD), significantly decreased TNFɑ protein release, and impaired neutrophil regenerative function compared to normal diet (ND) neutrophils. scRNAseq and flow cytometry demonstrated HFD neutrophil heterogeneity and validated that these cells do not have elevated expression of pro-inflammatory genes without secondary stimulation. HFD neutrophils showed elevated expression of genes associated with lipid metabolism - Acot1, Cpt1a, and Plin2. Consistent with the importance of lipid metabolism in driving dysfunction, neutrophils from HFD fed animals and neutrophils treated with palmitate had impaired bacterial phagocytosis and killing responses. This data sheds light on the complex regulation of intracellular lipids and the role of metabolism on neutrophil function during homeostasis and disease.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, the consequences of an alternate high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue concerning common situations where dietary habits change over time, we developed a novel protocol in athero-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, the overall period of time of exposure to HFD being similar between groups. We showed that alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe-/- mice compared to continuous HFD. The pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also found in Apoe-/-Rag2-/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out a role for the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Using different complementary in vivo approaches, we found that lipid-rich diet discontinuation in alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator downstream of TLR-4 pathways. As a result, after re-exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were more sensitive to hypercholesterolemia leading to acute differentiation into IL-1b- producing immature neutrophils, which caused a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Consecutively, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1b receptor confirmed that the IL-1b signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1b neutralizing antibody or inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1b-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, it is common for individuals to change dietary habits over time. The consequences of an alternating high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue, we developed a novel protocol in atherosclerosis-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, while keeping the overall period of exposure to HFD similar between groups. We showed that an alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe 55 -/- mice compared to continuous HFD. This pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also observed in Apoe-/-Rag2 57 -/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out the role of the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Employing various complementary in vivo approaches, we discovered that discontinuing HFD in the alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator of inflammatory signaling pathways in the myeloid lineage. Consequently, after re61 exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were primed to respond to HFD re-exposure by differentiating into IL-1-producing immature neutrophils, and inducing a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Subsequently, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1 receptor confirmed that the IL-1 signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro67 inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1 neutralizing antibody or an inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.

Project description:Obesity and diabetes associated visual impairment and vascular dysfunctions are increasing reasons for vision loss. The detailed mechanisms in these diseases are still largely unknown, but mice models have been useful to study these mechanisms and explore the detailed effects of potential compounds. Such compounds usually have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties are found in anthocyanins and a major source of dietary anthocyanins in Nordic diet is bilberries (European wild blueberries, Vaccinium myrtillus). In this explorative study we show results with differentially expressed genes in retina using a high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model. Our findings displayed differential regulation of genes in pathways for apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and glutathione metabolism. Mice fed with HFD had increased retinal gene expression of several crystallins, which was reduced in the retina of mice fed with bilberries. Bilberries seem to reduce the expression of genes in MAPK and to increase the expression of genes in glutathione metabolism pathway. All together despite minor effects in the mouse phenotype, a diet rich in bilberries may prevent the retinal gene expression changes in the early stages of obesity. Mice were fed ad libitum with normal control diet (NCD, 10% kcal fat), high-fat diet (HFD, 45% kcal fat), 5% (w/w) freeze-dried biberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) in NCD (NCD+BB) or HFD (HFD+BB) for 12 weeks. Diets were prepared in Research Diets Inc. Feed consumption and weight gain were measured during the feeding trial, and blood pressure and serum markers of obesity at the end. Retinas were collected and RNA extracted from all 24 mice samples, and pooled retinas from 4 mice per group were hybridized with standard Illumina protocols. The expression in retinas was analyzed using R, Pathvisio and DAVID to screen for differences between high-fat and berry induced changes to control diets and further bilberry induced changes to HFD up- or downregulated transcripts. diet: NCD, HFD, NCD+BB, HFD+BB
