Project description:Presence of ectopic lipid droplets (LDs) in cardiac muscle is associated to lipotoxicity and tissue dysfunction. However, presence of LDs in heart is also observed in physiological conditions, such as at times when cellular energy needs and energy production from mitochondria fatty acid (FA) ?-oxidation are high (fasting). This suggests that development of tissue lipotoxicity and dysfunction is not simply due to the presence of LDs in cardiac muscle but due at least in part to alterations in LD function. To examine the function of cardiac LDs, we obtained transgenic mice with heart-specific plin5 over-expression (MHC-plin5), a member of the perilipin protein family. Hearts from MHC-plin5 mice expressed at least 4-fold higher levels of plin5 and exhibit a 3.5- fold increase in triglyceride content versus non-transgenic littermate. Chronic cardiac excess of LDs was found to result in mild heart dysfunction with decreased expression of PPAR? target genes, decreased mitochondria function and left ventricular concentric hypertrophia. Lack of more severe heart function complications may have been prevented by a strong increased expression of oxidative induced genes via NF-E2-related factor 2 anti-oxidative pathway. Perilipin 5 regulates the formation and stabilization of cardiac LDs, and promotes cardiac steatosis without major heart function impairment. Hearts from Four MCH-Plin5 mice and four control mice at the age of 12 weeks were harvested

Project description:: The adult heart develops hypertrophy to reduce ventricular wall stress and maintain cardiac function in response to an increased workload. Although pathological hypertrophy generally progresses to heart failure, physiological hypertrophy may be cardioprotective. Cardiac-specific overexpression of the lipid-droplet protein perilipin 5 (Plin5) promotes cardiac hypertrophy, but it is unclear if this response is beneficial. We analyzed human RNA-sequencing data from the left ventricle and showed that cardiac PLIN5 expression correlates with upregulation of cardiac contraction-related processes. To investigate how elevated cardiac Plin5 levels affect cardiac contractility, we generated mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of Plin5 (MHC-Plin5 mice). These mice displayed increased left ventricular mass and cardiomyocyte size but preserved heart function. Quantitative proteomics identified sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2 (SERCA2) as a Plin5-interacting protein. Phosphorylation of phospholamban, the master regulator of SERCA2, was increased in MHC-Plin5 versus wild-type cardiomyocytes. Live imaging showed increases in intracellular Ca2+ release during contraction, Ca2+ removal during relaxation, and SERCA2 function in MHC-Plin5 versus wild-type cardiomyocytes. These results identify a role for Plin5 in improving cardiac contractility through enhanced Ca2+ signaling.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) transition to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are incompletely understood. During NAFLD development, Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) can regulate lipid metabolism by suppressing lipolysis and preventing lipotoxicity. Other reports suggest that lack of PLIN5 decreases hepatic injury, indicating a protective role in NAFLD pathology. To better understand the role of PLIN5 in liver disease, we established mouse models of NAFLD and NAFLD-induced HCC, in which wild type and Plin5 null mice were exposed to a single dose of acetone or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) in acetone, followed by a 30-week high-fat diet supplemented with glucose/fructose. In the NAFLD model, RNA-seq revealed significant changes in genes related to lipid metabolism and immune response. At the protein level, signaling pathways such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), Janus kinase (JNK) and protein kinase B (AKT) were blunted in Plin5 deficient (Plin5-/-) mice compared to wild type mice (WT). In the NAFLD-HCC model, only WT mice developed hepatic tumors, while Plin5-/- mice were resistant to tumorigenesis. Furthermore, only 32 differentially expressed genes were identified that were associated with NAFLD progession in Plin5 null mice. Markers of mitochondrial function and immune response such as the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor-γ, coactivator 1‐α (PGC-1a) and pSTAT3 were decreased. Lipidomics analysis revealed differential levels of some sphingomyelins between WT and Plin5-/- mice. Interestingly, these changes were not detected in the HCC model, indicating a possible shift in the metabolism of sphingomelins during carcinogenesis.

Project description:Disturbances in lipid homeostasis can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and lipotoxicity requiring tight regulation of intracellular lipid metabolism and fatty acid (FA) flux. Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) decorates intracellular lipid droplets (LD) in oxidative tissues and controls triacylglycerol (TG) turnover via its interactions with Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and the ATGL co-activator Comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58). Furthermore, PLIN5 anchors mitochondria to the LD membrane via its carboxyl-terminal domain. However, the role of this LD-mitochondria coupling (LDMC) in cellular FA flux and energy catabolism is less established. In this study, we investigated the impact of abolished LDMC on cellular FA flux, mitochondrial respiration and protein interaction. To do so, we established novel PLIN5 truncation variants lacking LDMC while maintaining normal interactions with lipolytic key players. Radiotracer studies with transgenic cell lines stably overexpressing either wild type or truncated PLIN5 revealed that LDMC has no significant impact on FA esterification upon lipid loading or TG catabolism during stimulated lipolysis. Moreover, we found that LDMC is not essential for FA shuttling into mitochondria, which was in line with only minor effects of disrupted LDMC on FA oxidation. In contrast, LDMC significantly improved the mitochondrial respiratory capacity and metabolic flexibility of lipid-challenged cardiomyocytes, which was corroborated by LDMC-dependent interactions of PLIN5 with mitochondrial proteins involved in mitochondrial respiration, dynamics and cristae organization. Taken together, this study suggests that PLIN5 preserves mitochondrial function by adjusting FA supply via the regulation of TG hydrolysis and that LDMC is a vital part of mitochondrial integrity.

Project description:Aims/hypothesis: While lipid deposition in skeletal muscle is considered to be involved in obesity-associated insulin resistance, neutral intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation per se does not necessarily induce insulin resistance. We previously demonstrated that overexpression of the lipid droplet coat protein perilipin 2 augments intramyocellular lipid content while improving insulin sensitivity. Another member of the perilipin family, perilipin 5 (PLIN5), is predominantly expressed in oxidative tissues like skeletal muscle. Here we investigated the effects of PLIN5 overexpression M-bM-^@M-^S in comparison with effects of PLIN2 M-bM-^@M-^S on skeletal muscle lipid levels, gene expression profiles and insulin sensitivity. Methods: Gene electroporation was used to overexpress PLIN5 in tibialis anterior muscle of rats fed a high fat diet. Eight days after electroporation, insulin-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle was measured by means of a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and lipid extractions were performed to investigate IMCL accumulation. Gene expression profiles were obtained using microarrays. Results: TAG storage and lipid droplet size increased upon PLIN5 overexpression. Despite the higher IMCL content, insulin sensitivity was not impaired and DAG and acylcarnitine levels were unaffected. In contrast to the effects of PLIN2 overexpression, microarray data analysis revealed a gene expression profile favoring FA oxidation and improved mitochondrial function. Conclusions/interpretation: Both PLIN2 and PLIN5 increase neutral IMCL content without impeding insulin-mediated glucose uptake. As opposed to the effects of PLIN2 overexpression, overexpression of PLIN5 in skeletal muscle promoted expression of a cluster of genes under control of PPARM-NM-1 and PGC1M-NM-1 involved in FA catabolism and mitochondrial oxidation. Rats received a high fat diet for 3 weeks; 2 weeks after start of the diet intervention Plin5 (OXPAT) or Plin2 (ADRP) were overexpressed in either the right or left tibialis anterior muscle. One week later pooled tibialis anterior muscle samples were analysed on microarrays.

Project description:Perilipin 5 (Plin5) has been shown the induce contact between mitochondria and lipid droplets, though the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. It has been shown that the unique C-terminal domain of Plin5 is responsible for inducing these contact sites. In this proteomics study, we identify binding partners which mediate this function by performing affinity purification-mass spectrometry using GFP-tagged Plin5 constructs where Plin5 is full length, lacking half of the c-terminal domain, or lacking the entire c-terminal domain. Of the several potential interactors, we validate Fatp4 as a direct interactor with the tether domain of Plin5.

Project description:Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is a lipid droplet (LD) protein highly expressed in tissues that are active in fatty acid oxidation such as the heart, oxidative muscle, the liver, and brown adipocytes. PLIN5 shares homology with PLIN1: it prevents lipolysis in basal state but promotes lipolysis upon the activation of protein kinase A (PKA). In vitro studies expressing exogenous PLIN5 have shown that PLIN5 is phosphorylated at serine 155 (S155) by PKA. In addition to the regulation of lipolysis, phosphorylation of PLIN5 at S155 has been shown to regulate expression of genes in lipid metabolism, mitochondria, inflammation, and autophagy by traveling to the nucleus and activating peroxisome proliferater-activated-receptor-gamma-coactivator-1-α (PGC1a). However, a role of PLIN5 phosphorylation at S155 has been primarily studied in vitro with exception of a few studies expressing exogenous wild type (WT) and phosphorylation resistant PLIN5 (S155A) in the heart or the liver of mice. Here, we aim to determine the extent of endogenous PLIN5 phosphorylation in vivo and its role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and gene expression in the liver using PLIN5 S155A knock in mice (S155A). First, we enriched LDs from the liver of fed and fasted C57BL6 WT mice to measure non-phosphorylated and S155 phosphorylated PLIN5 by LC-MS/MS. While peak area of non-phosphorylated PLIN5 was similar, S155 phosphorylation was increased in the liver from fasted mice compared with fed mice confirming that endogenous PLIN5 is phosphorylated at S155 when PKA is activated during fasting (3.0-fold increase, p<0.05). Then, we utilized Phos-tag gel as a simple method to assess the extent of PLIN5 phosphorylation. When the heart and the liver from WT and S155A mice were run on Phos-tag gel and immunoblotted for PLIN5, a phosphorylated band was significantly reduced in S155A tissues confirming that S155 is the dominant phosphorylation site in vivo. Next, we assessed phenotypes of S155A mice to gauge the necessity of S155 phosphorylation for metabolism and gene expression in the fasted liver. For the glucose tolerance test, 4-month-old male and female S155A mice showed no differences, but one year-old S115A males had impaired glucose tolerance. There was not a significant difference in weight or blood glucose in fasted young S155A females compared to wild type, but aged male S155A mice had a higher fasted blood glucose (p<0.05) without difference in weight. There was not a significant difference in serum insulin, triglycerides (TG), beta-hydroxybutyrate, or non-esterified fatty acids levels between WT and S155A mice in either males or females. The liver TG contents did not differ between WT and S155A mice of both genders. When qPCR tested the liver of fasted WT and S155A mice, Pgc1a target genes upregulated by fasting and proposed to be regulated by PLIN5 phosphorylation did not show striking difference in expression. Pgc1a, Ppara, Acot1, Pdk4, and Ascl1 expression was similar between WT and S155A liver of fasted mice. Cpt1a and G6pc showed trend of reduction in S155A liver but did not reach statistical significance (n=5 to 7). Inflammation markers such as IL1b and Ccl2 did not differ between WT and S155A liver of fasted mice either. We performed unbiased RNA sequencing of WT and S155A liver from fasted female mice to identify genes differentially regulated by phosphorylation of PLIN5 at S155. There were limited number of genes differentially expressed in S155A female livers with 3 genes < 0.05 for adjusted p value. Interestingly, RNA seq identified insulin receptor substrate 1 (Irs1) as a gene with significantly decreased expression in the liver of female S155A mice (Log2 fold change -0.74, adjusted p value 0.003). The difference was confirmed in qPCR of fasted liver for the female mice (p<0.05), but not for males. Interestingly, insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) measured by qPCR was not different in the liver of female S155A mice but was reduced in male S155A mice (p<0.05). The reduction of IRS2 protein in the liver of S155A male mice was confirmed by Western blot. In conclusion, endogenous PLIN5 in the liver increases phosphorylation at S155 upon fasting in mice. However, the loss of S155 phosphorylation does not affect serum lipids or liver TG. Also, changes in the expression of PGC1a target genes were subtle in the liver of fasted S155A mice compared with WT mice indicating that the loss of PLIN5 S155 phosphorylation can be readily compensated by other mechanisms. Unexpectedly, IRS2 showed decreased expression in the liver of S155A male mice that may explain glucose intolerance in aged male mice. Thus, PLIN5 phosphorylation may impact the insulin signaling in the liver by supporting IRS2 expression in male mice.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes is characterized by excessive lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Excessive intramyocellular lipid storage exceeds intracellular needs and induces lipotoxic events ultimately contributing to the development of insulin resistance. Lipid droplet (LD)-coating proteins may control proper lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Perilipin 2 (PLIN2/ADRP) is one of the most abundantly expressed LD-coating proteins in skeletal muscle. Here we examined the role of PLIN2 in myocellular lipid handling and insulin sensitivity by investigating the effects of in vitro PLIN2 knockdown and in vitro and in vivo overexpression. PLIN2 knockdown decreased LD formation and triacylglycerol storage, marginally increased FA oxidation, and increased incorporation of palmitate into diacylglycerols and phospholipids. PLIN2 overexpression in vitro increased intramyocellular TAG storage paralleled with improved insulin sensitivity. In vivo muscle-specific PLIN2 overexpression resulted in increased LD accumulation and blunted the high-fat diet-induced increase of OXPHOS protein content. Diacylglycerol levels were unchanged, while ceramide levels were increased. Despite the increased intramyocellular lipid accumulation, PLIN2 overexpression improved skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. We conclude that PLIN2 is essential for lipid storage in skeletal muscle by enhancing the partitioning of excess FAs towards triacylglycerol storage in LDs thereby blunting lipotoxicity-associated insulin resistance. C2C12 cells (mouse myoblast cell line) were treated with fatty acids and effects of knockdown of Perilipin 2 by siRNA were studied by gene expression profiling.

Project description:CUG-BP, Elav-like family (CELF) proteins regulate alternative splicing. In MHC-CELFdelta transgenic mice, CELF-mediated alternative splicing is disrupted in heart muscle via expression of a nuclear dominant negative CELF protein under an alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter. MHC-CELFdelta mice develop dilated cardiomyopathy and contractile dysfunction by 3 weeks of age, shortly after the transgene is activated and splicing defects appear. Cardiac function and heart size spontaneously recover with age in a low-expressing (mild) line of MHC-CELFdelta mice despite persistence of dominant negative protein expression and splicing defects, whereas there is no recovery in a higher-expressing (severe) line that also experiences early muscle death and fibrosis. In this study, we explored the basis for this functional recovery by comparing the gene expression profiles in the hearts of low- and high-expressing lines of MHC-CELFdelta mice to those of wild type littermates at 3 weeks (when cardiac dysfunction is maximal) and 24 weeks (when the low-expressing line has recovered) using microarrays. We found that differences in gene expression are greatly reduced in older animals from the low-expressing line, but were exacerbated in the high-expressing line. We did not find evidence of a new compensatory pathway being activated in the low-expressing line with age, and propose that recovery may occur due to developmental stage-specific compatibility of CELF-dependent splice variants with the changing cellular environment of cardiomyocytes. Microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from whole hearts of female mice: three MHC-CELFdelta-10 (high-expressing line) and three MHC-CELFdelta-574 (low-expressing line) were collected at 3 weeks, and five MHC-CELFdelta-10 and five MHC-CELFdelta-574 were collected at 24 weeks. Two wild type mice from each line were collected at each time point (n = 4 total wild type at 3 weeks, and n = 4 total wild type at 24 weeks).
