Project description:Expression profiling of whole body (WB) FXR knockout (KO) mice (FXR WB KO), liver-specific FXR KO mice (AFXR Cre+) and enterocyte specific FXR KO mice (VFXR Cre+) on a C57BL/6J genetic background Whole body (WB) FXR knockout (KO) mice (FXR WB KO), liver-specific FXR KO mice (AFXR Cre+) and enterocyte specific FXR KO mice (VFXR Cre+) on a C57BL/6J genetic background were bred and maintained in the laboratory animal research facility at the University of Kansas Medical Center in rooms under a 12-hour light-dark cycle. All experiments used 10-16 week-old male mice. FXR was activated by treatment with the FXR synthetic agonist, GW4064, at 150 mg/kg. GW4064 or vehicle was administered by oral gavage at 6 p.m., followed by a second administration at 8 a.m. the next morning. Two hours later, the liver was harvested.

Project description:Glucagon, an essential regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, also promotes weight loss, in part through potentiation of fibroblast-growth factor 21 (FGF21) secretion. However, FGF21 is only a partial mediator of metabolic actions ensuing from GcgR-activation, prompting us to search for additional pathways. Intriguingly, chronic GcgR agonism increases plasma bile acid levels. We hypothesized that GcgR agonism regulates energy metabolism, at least in part, through farnesoid X receptor (FXR). To test this hypothesis, we studied whole body and liver-specific FXR knockout (FXR∆liver) mice. Chronic GcgR agonist (IUB288) administration in diet-induced obese (DIO) Gcgr, Fgf21 and Fxr whole body or liver-specific knockout (∆liver) mice failed to reduce body weight (BW) when compared to wildtype (WT) mice. IUB288 increased energy expenditure and respiration in DIO WT mice, but not FXR∆liver mice. GcgR agonism increased [14C]-palmitate oxidation in hepatocytes isolated from WT mice in a dose-dependent manner, an effect blunted in hepatocytes from FXR∆liver mice. Our data clearly demonstrate that control of whole body energy expenditure by GcgR agonism requires intact FXR signaling in the liver. This heretofore-unappreciated aspect of glucagon biology has implications for the use of GcgR agonism in the therapy of metabolic disorders.

Project description:It was recently demonstrated in mice that knockout of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 gene, Fmo5, slows metabolic ageing via pleiotropic effects. We have now used an NMR-based metabonomics approach to study the effects of ageing directly on the metabolic profiles of urine and plasma from male, wild-type C57BL/6J and Fmo5−/− (FMO5 KO) mice back-crossed onto the C57BL/6J background. The aim of this study was to identify metabolic signatures that are associated with ageing in both these mouse lines and to characterize the age-related differences in the metabolite profiles between the FMO5 KO mice and their wild-type counterparts at equivalent time points. We identified a range of age-related biomarkers in both urine and plasma. Some metabolites, including urinary 6-hydroxy-6-methylheptan-3-one (6H6MH3O), a mouse sex pheromone, showed similar patterns of changes with age, regardless of genetic background. Others, however, were altered only in the FMO5 KO, or only in the wild-type mice, indicating the impact of genetic modifications on mouse ageing. Elevated concentrations of urinary taurine represent a distinctive, ageing-related change observed only in wild-type mice.

Project description: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.

Project description:The bile acid-activated nuclear receptor Farnesoid X receptor (FXR, NR1H4) has been implicated in the control of lipid and energy metabolism, but its role in fat tissue, where it is moderately expressed, is not understood. In view of the recent development of FXR-targeting therapeutics for treatment of human metabolic diseases, understanding the tissue-specific actions of FXR is essential. We show that transgenic mice expressing human FXR specifically in adipose tissue (aP2-hFXR) have markedly enlarged adipocytes and show extensive extracellular matrix remodelling. Ageing and exposure to obesogenic conditions revealed a strongly limited capacity for adipose expansion and development of fibrosis in adipose tissues of aP2-hFXR transgenic mice. This was associated with impaired lipid storage capacity, leading to elevated plasma free fatty acids, ectopic fat deposition in liver and muscle as well as whole-body insulin resistance. These studies establish that adipose FXR is a determinant of adipose tissue architecture and contributes to whole-body lipid homeostasis.

Project description:Conditional ablation of FXR in T cells was achieved with CD4-Cre Nr1h4fl/fl mice. Twenty thousend congenically marked naive (CD44- CD62L+) WT and FXR KO T cells carrying the OT-I transgenic TCR were cotransferred into lymphoreplete hosts. Recipients were challenged with LCMV-OVA and allowed to feed Ad libitum (AL) or fasted (Fs) for 24h beginning at 6pm on D5 post-infection. Splenic CD44+ effector cells of each genotype were FACS-purified (double-sorted) at the end of the starvation period.

Project description:Fenofibrate is a specific agonist of the nuclear receptor PPARa. To identify the gene expression under the strict dependence of hepatic PPARa activity, we generated a new mouse strain of PPARa-specific deletion in hepatocyte (albumin-Cre+/- Pparaflox/flox or LKO) and we compared them to total Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (albumin-Cre-/- Pparaflox/flox or LWT) mice. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in liver of Ppara LKO, LWT, Ppara KO and WT male mice. There are 36 liver samples, each from an individual mouse. The samples are from Ppara liver KO (LKO), Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (LWT) male mice of 14 week-old from the same genetic background (C57Bl/6J) treated with Fenofibrate (100 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (aqueous solution of gum Arabic 3%) by daily gavage for 10 days. n= 4 mice for LKO, LWT and WT genotypes treated with vehicle; n=3 for KO mice treated with vehicle; n=5 mice for LWT, LKO and KO genotypes treated with fenofibrate; n=4 WT mice treated with fenofibrate. All mice were sacrified at ZT14.
