Project description:We previously demonstrated that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated knockdown of Mboat7, the gene encoding Membrane Bound O-Acyltransferase 7, in the liver and adipose tissue of mice promoted high fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, hyperinsulinemia, and systemic insulin resistance. Thereafter, other groups showed that hepatocyte-specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 promoted striking fatty liver and NAFLD progression in mice but does not alter insulin sensitivity, suggesting the potential for cell autonomous roles. Here, we show that MBOAT7 function in adipocytes contributes to diet-induced metabolic disturbances including hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance. We generated floxed Mboat7 mice and created hepatocyte- and adipocyte-specific knockout mice using Cre-recombinase mice under the control of the albumin and adiponectin promoter, respectively. After chow and high fat diet feeding (60% kCal fat), mice were subjected to metabolic phenotyping and tissues to molecular workup and analysis. Here, we show that MBOAT7 function in adipocytes contributes to diet-induced metabolic disturbances including hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance. The expression of Mboat7 in white adipose tissue closely correlates with diet-induced obesity across a panel of ~100 inbred strains of mice fed a high fat/high sucrose diet. Moreover, we found that adipocyte-specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 is sufficient to promote hyperinsulinemia, systemic insulin resistance, and mild fatty liver. Unlike in the liver, where Mboat7 plays a relatively minor role in maintaining arachidonic acid (AA)-containing PI pools, Mboat7 is the major source of AA-containing PI pools in adipose tissue. Our data demonstrate that MBOAT7 is a critical regulator of adipose tissue PI homeostasis, and adipocyte MBOAT7-driven PI biosynthesis is closely linked to hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in mice.

Project description:Objective: The rs641738C>T variant located near the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7) locus is associated with fibrosis in liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcohol-related liver disease, hepatitis B and C. We aim to understand the mechanism by which the rs641738C>T variant contributes to pathogenesis of NAFLD. Design: Mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion of MBOAT7 (Mboat7 Δhep) were generated and livers were characterised by histology, flow cytometry, qPCR, RNA sequencing and lipidomics. We analysed the association of rs641738C>T genotype with liver inflammation and fibrosis in 846 NAFLD patients and obtained genotype-specific liver lipidomes from 280 human biopsies. Results: Allelic imbalance analysis of heterozygous human liver samples pointed to lower expression of the MBOAT7 transcript on the rs641738C>T haplotype. Mboat7 Δhep mice showed spontaneous steatosis characterised by increased hepatic cholesterol ester content after 10 weeks. After 6 weeks on a high fat, methionine-low, choline-deficient diet, mice developed increased hepatic fibrosis as measured by picrosirius staining (p<0.05), hydroxyproline content (p<0.05) and transcriptomics, while the inflammatory cell populations and inflammatory mediators were minimally affected. In a human biopsied NAFLD cohort, MBOAT7 rs641738C>T was associated with fibrosis (p=0.004) independent of the presence of histological inflammation. Liver lipidomes of Mboat7 Δhep mice and human rs641738TT carriers with fibrosis showed increased total lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) levels. The altered LPI and phosphatidylinositol subspecies in MBOAT7 Δhep livers and humans rs641738TT carriers were similar. Conclusion: Mboat7 deficiency in mice and human points to an inflammation-independent pathway of liver fibrosis that may be mediated by lipid signalling and a potentially targetable treatment option in NAFLD.

Project description:Lmx1b regulates dorsalization of limb fates, but the mechanism of this regulation has not been characterized. To identify candidate genes regulated by Lmx1b we compared the limbs from Lmx1b KO mice to wild type mice during limb dorsalization (e11.5-13.5). Differentially expressed genes that we common to all three stages examined were considered to be likely candidates for Lmx1b regulation and further evaluated.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming increasingly common and is a leading cause of end stage liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The rise in NAFLD closely parallels the global epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and there is a clear interrelationship between abnormal lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and NAFLD progression. Several genetic loci have been identified as contributors to NAFLD progression, all of which are consistently linked to abnormal lipid metabolic processes in the liver. The common loss-of-function variant rs641738 (C>T) near the gene encoding Membrane_x0002_Bound O-Acyltransferase 7 (MBOAT7) is associated with increased susceptibility to NAFLD as well as the entire spectrum of NAFLD progression. The MBOAT7 gene encodes a lipid metabolic enzyme that is capable of esterifying polyunsaturated fatty acyl-CoAs to LPI substrates to generate phosphatidylinositol (PI) lipids. We previously showed that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated knockdown of Mboat7 in mice promoted high fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, hyperinsulinemia, and systemic insulin resistance (Helsley et al., 2019). Thereafter, other groups showed that hepatocyte-specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 promoted striking fatty liver and NAFLD progression but does not alter insulin sensitivity, suggesting the potential for cell autonomous roles. Here, we show that MBOAT7 function in adipocytes contributes to diet- 3 induced metabolic disturbances including hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance. The expression of Mboat7 in white adipose tissue closely correlates with diet-induced obesity across a panel of ~100 inbred strains of mice fed a high fat/high sucrose diet. Moreover, adipocyte_x0002_specific genetic deletion of Mboat7 is sufficient to promote hyperinsulinemia, systemic insulin resistance, and mild fatty liver. Unlike in the liver, where Mboat7 plays a relatively minor role in maintaining arachidonic acid (AA)-containing PI pools, Mboat7 is the major source of AA_x0002_containing PI pools in adipose tissue. Our data demonstrate that MBOAT7 is a critical regulator of adipose tissue PI homeostasis, and adipocyte MBOAT7-driven PI biosynthesis is closely linked to hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in mice.

Project description:Recent studies have identified a genetic variant rs641738 near two genes encoding membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7) and transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4) that associate with increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcohol-related cirrhosis, and liver fibrosis in those infected with viral hepatitis1-7. Based on hepatic expression quantitative trait loci analysis it has been suggested that MBOAT7 loss of function promotes liver disease progression1-7, but this has never been formally tested. Here we show that Mboat7 loss, but not Tmc4, in mice is sufficient to promote the progression of NAFLD in the setting of high fat diet. Mboat7 loss of function is associated with accumulation of its substrate lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) lipids, and direct administration of LPI promotes hepatic inflammatory and fibrotic transcriptional changes in an Mboat7-dependent manner. These studies reveal a novel role for MBOAT7-driven acylation of LPI lipids in suppressing the progression of N

Project description:Lmx1b regulates dorsalization of limb fates, but the mechanism of this regulation has not been characterized. To identify candidate genes regulated by Lmx1b we compared the limbs from Lmx1b KO mice to wild type mice during limb dorsalization (e11.5-13.5). Differentially expressed genes that we common to all three stages examined were considered to be likely candidates for Lmx1b regulation and further evaluated. At 11.5 and 12.5 dpc, embryos were harvested and the limb buds with the limb girdles were isolated. Embryos at 13.5dpc were also harvested and their distal limb buds (zeugopods and autopods) were isolated. Embryos were genotyped to confirm Lmx1b homozygosity (-/- or +/+). RNA from embryonic forelimbs and hindlimbs of wild type (WT) and Lmx1b KO mice was harvested using the Rneasy Kit (Qiagen). RNA was pooled to decrease genetic variability, i.e., six limbs at 11.5 dpc, three limbs at 12.5 dpc and six limbs at 13.5 dpc. Duplicate samples were generated using different embryos for each stage and then hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (UCI, Irvine, CA).

Project description:The breakdown of toll-like receptor (TLR) tolerance results in tissue damage. Here we provide evidence that membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7) is a crucial negative regulator of TLR signaling. MBOAT7 deficiency in macrophages as observed in patients with metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and in COVID-19, alters membrane phospholipid composition. We demonstrate that this is associated with a redistribution of arachidonic acid toward proinflammatory eicosanoids, induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and remodelling of the accessible inflammatory-related chromatin landscape culminating in macrophage inflammatory responses to TLRs. Activation of MBOAT7 reverses these effects. These outcomes are further modulated by the MBOAT7 rs8736 (T) MAFLD risk variant. Our findings suggest that MBOAT7 can be exploited as a therapeutic target for diseases associated with dysregulation of the TLR signaling cascade.
