Project description:We have previously reported that providing a control diet to obese and diabetic mice during the periconceptional/gestation/lactation period, led to a drastic sex-specific shift from susceptibility to resistance to high fat feeding (HFD) in the female offspring. In the present study, we aimed to characterize exhaustively the metabolic phenotype of F1 and F2 sensitive (S1, S2) and resistant (R1, R2) mice and underscore in the liver, muscle and adipose tissue, the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms supporting the response to HFD, the trait of resistance/susceptibility and the adaptation across generations. We report the transcriptomic analyses realized based on a candidate gene approach in the liver using a custom mouse microchip. A direct comparison strategy with dye-swapping was used to compare two conditions and dye-swaps were replicated several times with at least 4 different animals/group. The comparisons of primary interest: S1 vs N1 (S1/N1); S2 vs N2 (S2/N2); R2 vs N2 (R2/N2); R2 vs S2 (R2/S2) and S2 vs S1 (S2/S1) were made according to a design such that secondary comparisons could be estimated.

Project description:Objective Recent evidence indicates that the adult hematopoietic system is susceptible to diet-induced lineage skewing. It is not known whether the developing hematopoietic system is subject to metabolic programming via in utero high fat diet (HFD) exposure, an established mechanism of adult disease in several organ systems. We previously reported substantial losses in offspring liver size with prenatal HFD. As the liver is the main hematopoietic organ in the fetus, we asked whether the developmental expansion of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) pool is compromised by prenatal HFD and/or maternal obesity. Methods We used quantitative assays, progenitor colony formation, flow cytometry, transplantation, and gene expression assays with a series of dietary manipulations to test the effects of gestational high fat diet and maternal obesity on the day 14.5 fetal liver hematopoietic system. Results Maternal obesity, particularly when paired with gestational HFD, restricts physiological expansion of fetal HSPCs while promoting the opposing cell fate of differentiation. Importantly, these effects are only partially ameliorated by gestational dietary adjustments for obese dams. Competitive transplantation reveals compromised repopulation and myeloid-biased differentiation of HFD-programmed HSPCs to be a niche-dependent defect, apparent in HFD-conditioned male recipients. Fetal HSPC deficiencies coincide with perturbations in genes regulating metabolism, immune and inflammatory processes, and stress response, along with downregulation of genes critical for hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and activation of pathways regulating cell migration. Conclusions Our data reveal a previously unrecognized susceptibility to nutritional and metabolic developmental programming in the fetal HSPC compartment, which is a partially reversible and microenvironment-dependent defect perturbing stem and progenitor cell expansion and hematopoietic lineage commitment.

Project description:We demonstrated that RORa-deficient staggerer mice (RORasg/sg) fed with a high fat diet (HFD) showed reduced adiposity and hepatic triglyceride levels compared to wild type (WT) littermates and were resistant to the development of hepatic steatosis, adipose-associated inflammation, and insulin resistance. Gene expression profiling showed that many genes involved in triglyceride synthesis and storage, including Cidec, Cidea, and Mogat1, were expressed at much lower levels in liver of RORasg/sg mice. In addition to reduced lipid accumulation, inflammation was greatly diminished in white adipose tissue (WAT) of RORasg/sg mice fed with a HFD. The infiltration of macrophages and the expression of many immune-response and pro-inflammatory genes, including those encoding various chemo/cytokines, toll-like receptors, and TNF signaling proteins, were significantly reduced in RORasg/sg WAT. Moreover, RORasg/sg mice fed with a HFD were protected from the development of insulin resistance. Together, these results indicate that RORa plays a critical role in the regulation of several aspects of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, RORa may provide a novel therapeutic target in the management of obesity and associated metabolic diseases. Liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) total RNAs were purified from 5 WT and 5 RORasg/sg (natural deletion of RORa gene in mice) mice fed with a high fat diet for 6 weeks. Then samples were applied on Agilent mouse genome chip.

Project description:Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with oxidative stress, which may be implicated in their progression. The kinase JNK1 emerged as a promising drug target for the treatment of obesity and type-2 diabetes. However, JNK1 is a key mediator of the oxidative stress response, promoting either cell dead or survival depending on magnitude and context of its activation. Furthermore, JNK inactivation shortens lifespan in drosophila and c. elegans. To learn on the safety and efficacy of long-term JNK inhibition in vertebrates, we investigated mice lacking JNK1 (JNK1-/-) exposed over a long period to an obesogenic high-fat diet (HFD). JNK1-/- mice chronically fed an HFD developed more skin oxidative damage because of reduced catalase expression, but also showed sustained protection from obesity, adipose tissue inflammation, steatosis, and insulin resistance, paralleled by decreased oxidative damage in fat and liver. We conclude that JNK1 is a relatively safe drug target for obesity-related diseases. RNA was collected from liver, skin and epididymal fat tissues from JNK1 KO mice and WT mice fed in high fat diet. Each condition was run in quadruplicate

Project description:Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, an important risk factor of type 2 diabetes, atherogenic dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular disease. It has been postulated that accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) causes obesity-induced insulin resistance. The major purpose of this study was to test hypothesis that prophylactic VAT removal prevents the development of obesity-induced multi-organ (liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue) insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD. Accordingly, we surgically removed epididymal VAT from adult C57BL/6J mice and then evaluated in vivo and cellular metabolic pathways involved in glucose and lipid metabolism following feeding of chronic high-fat diet (HFD). We found that VAT removal prevented HFD-induced insulin resistance and markedly increased AKT-mediated insulin signaling in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), liver, and skeletal muscle. VAT removal improved plasma lipid profiling and prevented obesity-induced NAFLD. In addition, VAT removal significantly increased circulating level of adiponectin, a key insulin-sensitizing adipokine, whereas it decreased interleukin-6, a pro-inflammatory adipokine. Data obtained from RNA-sequencing suggest that VAT removal prevents obesity-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in liver and SAT respectively. These findings demonstrate the causative role of VAT in the development of obesity and related systemic metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD.

Project description:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a global health burden, is strongly associated with age-related renal function decline, hypertension and diabetes, frequent consequences of obesity. Despite extensive studies the mechanisms determining susceptibility to CKD remain elusive. Clinical evidence together with prior studies from our group showed that perinatal metabolic disorders after maternal obesity adversely affect kidney structure and function throughout life. Since obesity and aging processes converge in similar pathways we tested if perinatal obesity induced by High-Fat Diet (HFD)-fed female mice sensitizes aging-associated mechanism in kidneys of newborn mice. Tissue from the kidney cortex and the kidney medulla was collected from offspring of control or HFD-fed mice.

Project description:Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are flavonoids exclusively found in certain citrus fruits and have been reported to be beneficial to human health. Most studies have been conducted with PMFs isolated from citrus peels, while there is no study on PMFs isolated from leaves. In this study, we prepared PMF-rich fraction (PRF) from leaf of Citrus sunki Hort ex. Tanaka (Jinkyool) and investigated whether PRF can improve metabolic decline in obese mice induced by high-fat diet (HFD) for five weeks. HFD induced obese mice were assigned into HFD, OR (HFD + orlistat 15.6 mg/kg of body weight/day), and PRF (HFD + 50, 100, 200 mg/kg of body weight/day) groups. Orlistat and PRE were orally administrated for 5 weeks. At the end of experiment, serum biochemical parameters, histology and protein expression profiles were investigated in the tissues of each group. The body weight gain of obese mice was significantly reduced after orlistat and PRF administration for five weeks. PRE effectively improved HFD-induced insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Histological analysis in liver demonstrated that PRF potentially improved the liver function as it inhibited the incidence of fatty liver. Moreover, PRF increased the phosphorylation of activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in HFD-induced obese mice. Moreover, the liver transcriptome analysis revealed that PRE administration enriched the genes, which were mainly fatty acid metabolism. Overall, these results indicated that PRF exert anti-obesity effect by modulation of lipid metabolism.

Project description:An 8-week high fat palm oil diet causes obesity and insulin resistance in C57BL/6J mice, but induces only small changes in the muscle transcriptome. Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Two major characteristics of the MS are obesity and insulin resistance. In the present study we investigated the effect of obesity and insulin resistance on the mouse muscle transcriptome. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were fed a palm oil-based low fat diet (LFD) or high fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks. Microarray analysis was performed by using two complementary strategies: (1) 8-week HFD transcriptome versus 8-week LFD transcriptome and (2) transcriptome of mice sacrificed at the start of the intervention versus 8-week LFD transcriptome and 8-week HFD transcriptome, respectively. Results: HFD mice develop obesity and whole-body insulin resistance. Despite these metabolic disturbances we found that HFD induces relatively small changes in gene expression (< 1.3 fold). Only the up-regulation of FA oxidation and the down-regulation of the MAPK cascade were specific for the HFD intervention. Eight-weeks of aging induced more changed gene expression levels than the HFD, including genes involved in cell-cell interaction and development. Conclusion: Eight weeks of aging induce more pronounced changes in the muscle transcriptome than an HFD. Since only one strategy revealed the transcriptional down-regulation of the MAPK cascade, whereas both strategies showed the up-regulation of FA oxidation we suggest the use of complementary analysis strategies by the genome-wide search of gene expression changes induced by mild interventions, such as an HFD. Keywords: diet intervention and time course In this study, C57BL/6J mice were fed a high fat (HF) diet for 8 weeks to induce obesity and insulin resistance. Plasma levels of the adipokines leptin and adiponectin were measured. To investigate how these metabolic disturbances will influence the skeletal muscle transcriptome we performed whole-genome microarray analysis. Functional implications were assessed by analyses of predefined gene sets based on Gene Ontology, biochemical, metabolic and signaling pathways.
