Project description:Epigenetics presents a dynamic approach to assess complex individual variation in obesity susceptibility. However, few studies have examined epigenetic patterns in preschool-age children, despite the relevance of this developmental stage to trajectories of weight gain, because of difficulties obtaining blood tissue samples. This proof of principle study examined DNA methylation in 92 saliva samples, comparing Latino preschool children of normal weight mothers (Body Mass Index [BMI] <27 kg/m2 and WC <90 cm) to children of obese mothers (BMI >30 kg/m2 and WC >100 cm). We hypothesized that salivary DNA methylation patterns in Latino preschool age children born of normal weight vs obese weight mothers would be: 1) associated with maternal BMI phenotype in continuous linear regression analysis; 2) saliva could demonstrate epigenetic variation across individuals; and 3) preschool child saliva would be differentially methylated when comparing those children with obese versus normal weight mothers. One hundred and nineteen CpG sites were significantly (p-value <1.56 X 10-5, p-value adjusted <.05) associated with maternal BMI in linear regression models controlling for childâs age, gender, and BMI. Of these 119 CpG sites, 41 were found within the transcription start site, 5â UTR, 3â UTR, or another regulatory region outside of the gene body. Saliva, a practical human tissue to obtain in naturalistic settings and in pediatric populations, was confirmed to be a viable medium for genome-wide epigenetic testing with maternal weight. Although not identical to results yielded from other human tissue types (i.e., cord blood samples), saliva findings indicate potential epigenetic differences in Latino preschool children at risk for pediatric obesity. This proof of principle study examined DNA methylation in 92 saliva samples, comparing Latino preschool children of normal weight mothers (Body Mass Index [BMI] <27 kg/m2 and WC <90 cm) to children of obese mothers (BMI >30 kg/m2 and WC >100 cm). Antropometry was measured objectively according to a standardized protocol.Saliva from preschool Latino children at risk for obesity (BMI>50% < 95% participating in WIC/SNAP programs) was collected using the Oragene DNA saliva kit following a strict data collection protocol. DNA extraction was performed as per DNA Genotek's recommendations using the PrepIT L2P reagent. Extracted DNA was stored in individually barcoded cryovials at â80 degrees Fahrenheit. For children, saliva was obtained using the âbaby brushâ approach, in which small sponges attached to plastic handles are inserted between cheek and gumline to absorb saliva .Arrays were processed using standard protocol [34], with 3 samples randomly selected to serve as duplicates and 1 sample run with HapMap DNA to test functionality of reagents. Duplicates were measured for high technique consistency with Pearson correlation coefficient (>.99). Methylation data were quality controlled using Illumina GenomeStudio (V2011.1), Methylation module (V1.9.0). Samples with lower than 98% call rate (i.e. <485,000 probes) were excluded. Any non-specific cross-reacting probes, probes carrying common SNPs (MAF >1%), or any probes with p-values greater than 0.05 for more than 20% of the sample were sequentially excluded. Validation via pyrosequencing was conducted.

Project description:Maternal obesity is linked with increased adverse outcomes for mother and fetus. However, the metabolic impact of excessive fat accumulation within the altered hormonal context of pregnancy is not well understood. We used a murine model of obesity, the high fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mouse to determine adipose tissue-mediated molecular mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction throughout pregnancy. Remarkably, obese mice exhibited a normalization of visceral fat accumulation at late-stage pregnancy (-53%, P<0.001 E18.5) to achieve levels comparable in mass (per gram of body weight) to that of non pregnant, control diet fed mice. Moreover, whilst obese pregnant mice showed a marked glucose intolerance and apparent insulin resistance at mid-stage pregnancy (E14.5), glucose homeostasis converged with that of lean pregnant mice at late-stage pregnancy, suggesting an unexpected amelioration of the worsening metabolic dysfunction in obese pregnant mice. Transcriptomic analysis of the late-stage visceral fat indicated reduced de novo lipogenic drive (Me1, Fasn, Scd1, Dgat2), retinol metabolism (Rdh11, Rbp4) and inflammation (Mcp1, Tnfα) in obese pregnant mice that was confirmed functionally by their lower adipose proinflammatory macrophage density. Elevated expression of estrogen receptor a (ERα) in visceral adipose tissue was identified as potential unifying mechanism for the transcriptional changes and reduced adiposity of late stage obese pregnancy. Support for a role for ERα was provided by experiments showing that the ERα selective agonist PPT suppressed lipogenesis in primary mouse adipocytes and suppressed Me1, Fasn, SCD1 and Dgat2 mRNA levels in mature female human ChubS7 clonal fat cells. Our data reveal a novel role for elevated visceral adipocyte estrogen signaling as a protective mechanism against visceral fat hypertrophy and inflammation in late pregnancy.

Project description:The crosstalk between the bone and adipose tissue orchestrates the metabolic homeostasis, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Herein, we find that GCA+(grancalcin) immune cells accumulate in the bone marrow and release a sufficient amount of GCA into circulation during obesity. Genetic deletion of Gca in myeloid cells attenuates metabolic dysfunction in obese male mice, whereas injection of recombinant GCA into male mice cause adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Mechanistically, we found that GCA binds to the Prohibitin-2 (PHB2) receptor on adipocytes and activates the innate and adaptive immune response of adipocytes via the PAK1-NF-κB signaling pathway, thus provoking the infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. Moreover, GCA-neutralizing antibodies improve adipose tissue inflammation and insulin sensitivity in obese male mice. Together, these observations uncover a novel mechanism whereby bone marrow factor GCA initiates adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance, implicating GCA could be a potential target to treat metainflammation.

Project description:Cytokines of the IL-1 family are important modulators of obesity-induced inflammation and the development of systemic insulin resistance. Here, we report that IL-37, a newly-described antiinflammatory member of the IL-1 family, affects obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance. IL-37 transgenic mice (IL-37tg) did not develop an obese phenotype in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Unlike WT mice, IL-37tg mice exhibited reduced numbers of adipose tissue macrophages and preserved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity after 16 weeks of HFD. A short-term HFD intervention revealed that the IL-37-mediated improvement in glucose tolerance is independent of bodyweight. IL-37tg mice manifested a beneficial metabolic profile with higher circulating levels of the anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin. In vitro treatment of differentiating adipocytes with recombinant IL-37 reduced adipogenesis. The beneficial effects of recombinant IL-37 involved activation of AMPK signaling. In humans, steady-state IL-37 adipose tissue mRNA levels were positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, lower adipose tissue levels of leptin and a lower inflammatory status of the adipose tissue. These findings reveal IL-37 as an important anti-inflammatory modulator during obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in both mice and humans and suggest that IL-37 is a potential target for the treatment of obesity-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Gene arrays were performed on epidydimal white adipose tissue samples from wild type and human IL37-overexpressing transgenic mice fed a high fat diet for 16 weeks.

Project description:Purpose: To determine how STAT1 activity in white adipocytes affects insulin sensitivity. Methods: Adipocyte specific (ADIPOQ-Cre) STAT1 fl/fl mice (STAT1 fKO) and littermate controls (STAT1 fl/fl) were placed on 60% HFD for 18 weeks, followed by metabolic phenoptying and tissue harvest for RNA-seq Results: STAT1 expression in WAT inversely correlated with fasting plasma glucose in both obese mice and humans. Metabolomic and gene expression profiling established STAT1 deletion in adipocytes (STAT1 fKO) enhanced mitochondrial function and accelerated TCA cycle flux coupled with subcutaneous WAT hyperplasia. STAT1 fKO reduced WAT inflammation, but insulin resistance persisted in obese mice. Rather, elimination of type I cytokine interferon gamma (IFNg) activity enhanced insulin sensitivity in diet-induced obesity. Conclusions: Our findings reveal a permissive mechanism that bridges WAT inflammation to whole-body insulin sensitivity.

Project description:This study aimed to analyze the whole-blood transcriptome profile of fit children with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) compared to unfit children with OW/OB. Methods: 27 children with OW/OB (10.14 ± 1.3 years, 59% boys) from the ActiveBrains project were evaluated. VO2peak was assessed using a gas analyzer, and participants were categorized into fit or unfit according to the CVD risk-related cut-points. Whole-blood transcriptome profile (RNA sequencing) was analyzed. Differential gene expression analysis was performed using Limma R/Bioconductor software package (analyses adjusted by sex and maturational status). Results: 256 genes were differentially expressed in fit children with OW/OB compared to unfit children with OW/OB after adjusting by sex and maturational status (FDR < 0.05). Enriched pathways analysis identified gene pathways related to inflammation (e.g., dopaminergic and GABAergic synapse pathways). Conclusion: The distinct pattern of whole-blood gene expression in fit children with OW/OB reveals genes and gene pathways that might play a role in reducing CVD risk factors later in life.
