Hepatic Farnesoid X-Receptor Isoforms α2 and α4 Differentially Modulate Bile Salt and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Mice

ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptor FXR acts as an intracellular bile salt sensor that regulates synthesis and transport of bile salts within their enterohepatic circulation. In addition, FXR is involved in control of a variety of crucial metabolic pathways. Four FXR splice variants are known, i.e. FXRα1-4. Although these isoforms show differences in spatial and temporal expression patterns as well as in transcriptional activity, the physiological relevance hereof has remained elusive. We have evaluated specific roles of hepatic FXRα2 and FXRα4 by stably expressing these isoforms using liver-specific self-complementary adeno-associated viral vectors in total body FXR knock-out mice. The hepatic gene expression profile of the FXR knock-out mice was largely normalized by both isoforms. Yet, differential effects were also apparent; FXRα2 was more effective in reducing elevated HDL levels and transrepressed hepatic expression of Cyp8B1, the regulator of cholate synthesis. The latter coincided with a switch in hydrophobicity of the bile salt pool. Furthermore, FXRα2-transduction caused an increased neutral sterol excretion compared to FXRα4 without affecting intestinal cholesterol absorption. Our data show, for the first time, that hepatic FXRα2 and FXRα4 differentially modulate bile salt and lipoprotein metabolism in mice.

The Farnesoid-X-Receptor activates transcription independently of RXR at non-canonical response elements

Project description:The Farnesoid-X-Receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor (NR) known to obligately heterodimerize with Retinoid-X-Receptor (RXR). FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-α4) that drive transcription from IR-1 (inverted repeat-1) DNA motifs. More recently, FXR isoforms α2/α4 were found to activate transcription predominantly from non-canonical ER-2 (everted repeat-2) DNA motifs, mediating most metabolic effects of general FXR activation. Here, we explored molecular determinants of FXRα2 regulation from ER-2 elements through quantitative interaction proteomics, site-directed mutagenesis, and transcriptomics. We discovered that FXRα2 binds to and activates ER-2 elements in vitro and in reporter assays independently of RXR. Genome-wide analysis in mouse liver revealed higher ER-2 motif enrichment in RXR-lacking FXR binding sites. Abrogation of FXRα2:RXR heterodimerization abolished IR-1, but preserved ER-2 transactivation. Transcriptome-wide, RXR overexpression inhibited 25% of FXRα2 targets in HepG2. These genes were specifically activated by the heterodimerization-deficient mutant FXRα2-L434R, were enriched for ER-2 motifs at their promoters and were involved in lipid metabolism and ammonia detoxification. In conclusion, RXR acts as a molecular switch, promoting FXRα2 activation from IR-1 instead of ER-2 motifs. Our results showcase FXR as the first NR with RXR-dependent and independent modes of activation, highlighting a potential new layer of complexity for other RXR-heterodimerizing NRs.

Bioenergetic cues shift FXR splicing towards FXRα2 to modulate hepatic lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism

Project description:Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays a prominent role in hepatic lipid metabolism. The FXR gene encodes four proteins with structural differences suggestive of discrete biological functions about which little is known. We show that FXR isoforms have specific effects on hepatic metabolism and uncover novel pathways under their control. Gene expression profiling of hepatocytes expressing each FXR variant revealed large differences in their target gene sets. Notably, FXRα2 (but not α1) activates a broad transcriptional program in hepatocytes conducive to lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and ketogenesis. Consequently, FXRα2 decreases cellular lipid accumulation and improves insulin sensitivity. FXRα2 expression in Fxr-/- mouse liver activates a similar gene program and robustly decreases hepatic triglyceride levels. On the other hand, FXRα1 reduces hepatic triglyceride content to a lesser extent and does so through regulation of lipogenic gene expression. Bioenergetic cues, such as fasting and exercise, dynamically regulate Fxr splicing in mouse liver to increase Fxrα2 expression. Our results show that the main FXR variants in human liver (α1 and α2) reduce hepatic lipid accumulation through distinct mechanisms and to different degrees. Thus, pharmacological or lifestyle interventions, such as exercise, aimed at modulating hepatic FXR splicing may improve the therapeutic efficacy of FXR agonists.

MAFG is a transcriptional repressor of bile acid synthesis and metabolism (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Specific bile acids are potent signaling molecules that modulate metabolic pathways affecting lipid, glucose and bile acid homeostasis, and the microbiota. Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver, and the key enzymes involved in bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp8b1) are regulated transcriptionally by the nuclear receptor FXR. We have identified an FXR-regulated pathway upstream of a transcriptional repressor that controls multiple bile acid metabolism genes. We identify MafG as an FXR target gene and show that hepatic MAFG overexpression represses genes of the bile acid synthetic pathway and modifies the biliary bile acid composition. In contrast, loss-of-function studies using MafG(+/-) mice causes de-repression of the same genes with concordant changes in biliary bile acid levels. Finally, we identify functional MafG response elements in bile acid metabolism genes using ChIP-seq analysis. Our studies identify a molecular mechanism for the complex feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis controlled by FXR.

FXR controls gene expression independently of RXR at non-canonical response elements

Project description:The Farnesoid-X-Receptor (FXR) is a class II nuclear receptor (NR), a class that obligately heterodimerizes with the Retinoid-X-Receptor (RXR). FXR is expressed as 4 isoforms (α1-α4) activated by bile acids that drive transcription from response elements IR-1 (inverted repeat-1). We recently showed that FXR isoforms α2 and α4 bind to non-canonical response elements ER-2 (everted repeat-2), thereby increasing mitochondrial respiratory capacity and limiting de novo lipogenesis. Binding to ER-2 motifs in mouse liver organoids represented 89% of all FXR genome wide binding. However, mechanistic differences in FXR binding and activation from these two response elements remained unexplored. Using DNA pull down followed by mass-spectrometry, we show that RXR is not involved in FXR binding to ER-2 response elements. Instead, RXR inhibited FXR binding and activation from these elements in luciferase reporters. Genome wide, RXR-lacking FXR binding sites showed higher enrichment for ER-2 motifs in mouse liver. Pharmacological and mutational abrogation of FXR-RXR heterodimerization specifically retained ER-2 transactivation capacities in luciferase reporters and HepG2 cells. Transcriptome-wide, 25% of FXR targets were inhibited upon RXR overexpression, but specifically activated by a novel heterodimerization-deficient mutant FXRα2L434R. These genes were ER-2 responsive and were involved in lipid metabolism and ammonia detoxification. In conclusion, we discovered that RXR is not required and even inhibits binding of FXRα2 to ER-2. Thus, whereas FXR α1 and α3 seem to be genuine class II NR, FXRα2 and α4 are facultative class II at ER-2 motifs. This novel feature holds promise to exploit and tailor therapeutic responses to FXR agonism.

Insulin controls hepatic bile acid metabolism by the spatial repatterning of gene expression

Project description:Insulin regulation of hepatic gene expression is critical for controlling metabolism and preventing diabetes, atherosclerosis and NAFLD; yet, how insulin regulates gene expression in the spatial context of the liver lobule is largely unexplored. Here, we find that insulin regulates bile acid metabolism by segregating CYP8B1, the enzyme that catalyzes the 12α-hydroxylation of bile acids, from the other enzymes required for bile acid synthesis. When insulin signaling is disrupted, Cyp8b1 and the other bile acid synthesis genes become co-localized within the same zone, and 12α-hydroxylated bile acids, which drive atherosclerosis and NAFLD, are increased. Novel zone-specific genetic manipulations of Cyp8b1 that mimic the effects of insulin result in a more benign bile salt profile. Mechanistically, the zonal effects of insulin are not due to gradients of insulin concentration or signaling, but through insulin crosstalk with positional Wnt signals: Wnt and insulin act together to determine the complement of transcription factors active in the pericentral hepatocytes and thereby regulate Cyp8b1 zonation. Taken together, these data show that by repatterning gene expression in the liver lobule, insulin can transcriptionally regulate the outputs of a metabolic pathway. The spatial dimension of transcriptional regulation represents a novel lens with which to view the control of metabolism that may ultimately lead us to more precise therapies.

Intestinal FXR controls transintestinal cholesterol excretion in mice

Project description:ABSTRACT Background & aims: The role of the intestine in the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis is increasingly recognized. Fecal excretion of cholesterol is the last step in the atheroprotective reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway, to which both biliary and transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE) contribute. The mechanisms controlling the flux of cholesterol through the TICE pathway are,however, poorly understood. In the current study we aimed to identify treatment modalities that stimulate TICE and to uncover underlying driving mechanisms. Methods: TICE was assessed in a panel of knock-out and transgenic mice as well as in mice treated with the FXR agonist PX20606 either or not combined with the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe. Results: We show that TICE is regulated by intestinal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) via its target fibroblast growth factor 15/19 (FGF15/19) and that the pathway can be stimulated to such an extent that mice excrete ~60% of their total cholesterol content each day. Both PX20606 and FGF19 increased the muricholate/cholate ratio in bile, inducing a more hydrophilic bile salt pool. The altered bile salt pool robustly stimulated secretion of cholesterol into the intestinal lumen via the sterol exporting heterodimer ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 5/8 (ABCG5/G8). Of note, we demonstrate that the increase in TICE induced by PX20206 is independent of changes in cholesterol absorption. Conclusions: Hydrophilicity of the bile salt pool, controlled by FXR and FGF15/19, is an important determinant of cholesterol removal via TICE. Translation of these results to humans may offer new treatment modalities for prevention of cardiovascular disease.

FXR isoform selective effects on hepatoma cell line HepG2

Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids that regulates bile acid metabolism, glucose and cholesterol homeostasis. FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-4), and their relative abundance is tissue specific. Human livers express predominantly FXR isoforms α1 and α2. From mouse studies we know that the FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) regulates expression of many genes in the liver. However, there is currently no data on the effects of OCA on FXR isoform selective gene regulation. This is particularly relevant since the relative FXR isoform amounts in the liver are regulated by general bioenergetic cues (Correia JC et al. 2015). In this study we investigate the effect of variations in FXR isoforms α1 or α2 expression on HepG2 cell lines response to treatment with OCA.

FXR isoform selective transcriptional activation in mouse liver organoids

Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids that regulates metabolic processes. FXR is expressed as four isoforms (α1-4), and their relative abundance is specific to tissue and bio-energetic conditions (Correia JC et al. 2015). Depending on the FXR isoform expressed, there is a degree of selectivity in target-genes activation. In this dataset, we defined FXR-isoforms selective effects on transcription in mouse liver organoids after treatment with the FXR agonist Obeticholic acid(OCA). By linking the DNA binding profiles of the FXR isoforms with their transcriptional output, we concluded that differential DNA binding plays a defining role in FXR-isoform target gene selectivity.
