Project description:Mice have their lowest (basal) metabolic rate when housed at thermoneutrality, which starts above 29 degrees C. Although they eat less, and thus reduce their energy intake, their energy balance remains positive leading to an increased adiposity, especially when fed a high fat diet. However, almost all metabolic mouse studies are performed at standard room temperatures ranging between 20 and 22 degrees C. Previously, we showed that housing mice at thermoneutrality lead to massive increased adiposity, while metabolic dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT) was absent. Here, we studied whether an increased metabolic flux through WAT induces cellular stress and underlies tissue dysfunction leading to tissue inflammation. C57BL/6JOlaHsd wildtype male mice, aged 9 weeks, were fed purified low fat diet (BIOCLAIMS, Hoevenaars et al., Genes and Nutrition 2012) for 3 weeks to acclimatize, followed by 12 weeks a BIOCLAIMS high-fat diet (HFD), all at thermoneutrality (29 degrees C). Subsequently, mice were divided into different treatment groups: i) control group, which remained at thermoneutrality for 5 days, ii) 5 days normal housing temperature (22 C degrees) while housed continously in an indirect calorimetry system. At the end of the study, after 2 hours food removal at the start of the light phase, mice were killed immediately by decapitation after taking them out of the indirect calorimetry system. After sacrification, epididymal WAT was immediately dissected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was isolated, quantified and qualified, and subsequently used for global gene expression profiling using Agilent 8x60K microarrays.

Project description:The repertoire of growth factors determines the biological engagement of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) in processes such as immunomodulation and tissue repair. Hypoxia is a strong modulator of the secretome and well known stimuli to increase the secretion of pro-angiogenic molecules. In this manuscript, we employed a high throughput screening assay on an hMSCs cell line in order to identify small molecules that mimic hypoxia. Importantly, we show that the effect of these small molecules was cell type/species dependent, but we identified phenanthroline as a robust hit in several cell types. We show that phenanthroline induces high expression of hypoxia-target genes in hMSCs when compared with deferoxamine (DFO) (a.k.a desferrioxamine B, a known hypoxia mimic) and hypoxia incubator (2% O2). Interestingly, our microarray and proteomics analysis show that only phenanthroline induced high expression and secretion of another angiogenic cytokine, interleukin-8, suggesting that the mechanism of phenanthroline-induced hypoxia is distinct from DFO and hypoxia and involves the activation of other signaling pathways. We showed that phenanthroline alone was sufficient to induce blood vessel formation in a Matrigel plug assay in vivo paving the way to its application in ischeamic-related diseases.

Project description:Background: Excessive white adipose tissue (WAT) expansion as in obesity is generally associated with chronic inflammation of WAT, which contributes to obesity associated complications. Low oxygen availability in WAT is hypothesized to be the initiator of this inflammatory response. Hypothesis: We examined the hypothesis that local tissue hypoxia is responsible for the initiation of inflammation in WAT. Research design and methods: Diet-induced obese male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice, housed at thermoneutrality, were exposed to mild environmental oxygen restriction (OxR, to 13% oxygen) for five days and compared with mice kept at normoxia, after which WAT and serum were collected. Body composition, systemic metabolic parameters, WAT macrophage infiltration (as marker for tissue inflammation) and whole genome microarray analysis, and circulating adipokines were measured. Results: Five days OxR decreased body weight and fat mass, and increased blood levels of haemoglobin and haematocrit, as well as lactate to glucose ratio, which indicated systemic hypoxia. No difference in adipose tissue inflammation was found, which was supported by down regulation of inflammation-associated transcript levels of S100a8, Saa1, and Saa3. Serum metabolomics revealed an increase of branched chain amino acid Valine and propionylcarnitine. Adipokines CCDC3, CCK, and Adiponectin are reduced by OxR on transcript (Cck) or serum protein level (Adiponectin), or both (CCDC3). Conclusions: Mild oxygen restriction does not increase white adipose tissue inflammation in obese mice. However, a systemic adaptation together with a metabolic response in WAT was observed.

Project description:To determine the physiological roles of NCOA4 and NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in hippocampal neurons, NCOA4 was depleted using siRNA and desferrioxamine (DFO; 100 µM, 24 h) was added to restrict iron availability. Cells were treated for NCOA4 depletion, iron restriction, or both, and then the transcriptome profiles acquired from RNA-seq were compared with those of control (scramble siRNA-treated) cells.

Project description:High energy intake and, specifically, high dietary fat intake challenges the mammalian metabolism and correlates with many metabolic disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. Dietary restriction (DR) is, on the other hand, known to prevent the development of metabolic disorders. The current Western diets are highly enriched in fat and it is as yet unclear whether DR on a certain high-fat (HF) diet elicits similar beneficial effects on health. Here, we report that HF-DR improves metabolic health of mice, compared to mice receiving the same diet on an ad-libitum basis (HF-AL). Already after five weeks of restriction the serum levels of cholesterol and leptin were significantly decreased in HF-DR mice, while their glucose sensitivity and serum adiponectin levels were increased. The body weight and measured serum parameters remained stable in the following 7 weeks of restriction, implying metabolic adaptation. To understand the molecular events associated with this adaptation, we analysed gene expression in white adipose tissue (WAT) with whole genome microarrays. HF-DR strongly influenced gene expression in WAT; in total 8,643 genes were differentially expressed between both groups of mice, with a major role for genes involved in lipid metabolism and mitochondrial functioning. This was confirmed by qRT-PCR and substantiated by an increase in mitochondrial density in WAT of HF-DR mice. These results provide new insights in the metabolic flexibility of dietary restricted animals and suggest the development of substrate efficiency. Limiting food intake by decreasing portion sizes, while maintaining energy sufficiency, may similarly benefit metabolic health in humans.

Project description:CD44 expression has been shown to be enhanced in the liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) during obesity, suggesting a possible regulatory role for CD44 in metabolic syndrome. To study this hypothesis, we compared the gene expression profiles in liver and in WAT between WT and CD44 knockout (CD44KO) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 21 weeks. This analysis demonstrated that several genes associated with triglyceride synthesis and accumulation, including Mogat2, Cidea, Cidea, Apoa4, and Elovl7, were decreased in the livers of CD44KO mice compared to WT mice. Many genes encoding pro-inflammatory chemokines and chemokine receptors also were decreased in the livers of CD44KO mice. Analysis with WAT showed that genes associated with triglyceride accumulation, including Fasn, Elovl6 and Mogat2, were increased in WAT of CD44KO(HFD) mice compared to WT(HFD) mice. Moreover, many genes associated with inflammation, including cytokines (Cxcl14, Cxcl12, Il33, and Il2), cytokine receptors (Ccr1, Il6ra, Il10rb), trypases (Tpsb2, Tpsab1, Tpsg1), and cellular matrix proteins (Integrin ?4 (Itga4), ItgaM, Itgb2), were decreased in WAT of CD44(HFD) compared to WT(HFD) mice. This study indicates that CD44 plays a critical role in regulating several aspects of metabolic syndrome. Liver and white adipose tissue (WAT) total RNAs were purified from 5 WT and 5 CD44 knockout mice fed with a high-fat diet for 21 weeks. Then, samples were applied on Agilent mouse genome chips.

Project description:VAAM stands for an amino acid mixture simulating the composition of Vespa, a hornet larval saliva. We conducted a comparative study on metabolism-regulatory roles of VAAM, casein-simulating amino acid mixture (CAAM), and pure water on murine hepatic and adipose tissue transcriptomes. Mice were orally fed VAAM solution ( 0.675 g/ kg BW = 2% of food-derived amino acids = 0.38% of total food energy/ day), CAAM solution ( 0.675 g / kg BW/ day) or water under ad libitum for five days. Hepatic transcriptome comparison of VAAM, CAAM and water-treated groups revealed a VAAM-specific regulation of the metabolic pathway, i.e., the down-regulation of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation, and up-regulation of poly unsaturated fatty acid synthesis and glycogenic amino acids utilization in TCA cycle. Similar transcriptomic analysis of white and brown adipose tissues (WAT and BAT) suggested the up-regulation of phospholipid synthesis in WAT and the negative regulation of cellular processes in BAT. Because these coordinated regulations of tissue transcriptomes implicated the presence of upstream signaling common to these tissues, we conducted Ingenuity Pathways Analysis of these transcriptomes with the results that estrogenic and glucagon signals seemed to be activated in liver and WAT as well as beta-adrenergic signaling did in the three tissues by administration of VAAM. Our data provide a clue to understanding the role of VAAM in metabolic regulation of multiple tissues. Mice were divided randomly into three groups, VAAM, CAAM or water administered group. VAAM, CAAM or water was orally administrated five times once a day using feeding tube. The dosage of 1.8%VAAM, 1.8%CAAM or water was 37.5 microliter per gram of body weight. On day of last administration, food was removed and mice were moved to clean cages at 8:00. The last administrations started at 10:00. At 4 hours later after last administration, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation to collect blood, liver, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Small hepatic pieces were immersed into RNAlater. WAT and BAT were frozen immediately after extraction using liquid nitrogen. All samples were extracted total RNA and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Transcription mediated by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1) contributes to tumor angiogenesis and metastasis but is also involved in the activation of cell-death pathways and normal physiological processes. Given the complexity of HIF-1 signaling it could be advantageous to target a subset of HIF-1 effectors rather than the entire pathway. We compared the genome-wide effects of three molecules that each interfere with the HIF-1-DNA interaction: a polyamide targeted to the hypoxia response element (HRE), siRNA targeted to HIF-1α, and echinomycin, a DNA binding natural product with a similar but less specific sequence preference to the polyamide. The polyamide affects a subset of hypoxia-induced genes that are consistent with the binding site preferences of the polyamide. For comparison, siRNA targeted to HIF-1α and echinomycin each affect the expression of nearly every gene induced by hypoxia. Remarkably, the total number of genes affected by either polyamide or HIF-1α siRNA over a range of thresholds is comparable. The data shows how polyamides can be used to affect a subset of a pathway regulated by a transcription factor. In addition, this study offers a unique comparison of three complementary approaches towards exogenous control of endogenous gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: Hypoxia-mimetic DFO (deferoxamine)-stimulated U251 cells that were treated with polyamide 1, HIF-1α siRNA, and echinomycin were compared to control cells that were also DFO-stimulated. Cells not stimulated with DFO were also compared to the DFO-stimulated controls. Three biological replicates were included for each treatment/condition.
