Project description:We screened intronic microRNAs dysregulated in liver of obese mouse models to identify previously uncharacterized coding host genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our approach identified the expression of Ectodysplasin A (Eda), the causal gene of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; MIM 305100) was strongly increased in liver of obese mouse models both in rodents and humans.Eda expression in murine liver is controlled via PPARγ activation, increases in circulation and promotes JNK activation and inhibitory serine phosphorylation of IRS1 in skeletal muscle. Consistently, bi-directional modulation of hepatic Eda expression in mouse models affects systemic glucose metabolism with alterations of muscle insulin signaling, revealing a novel role of EDA as an obesity-associated hepatokine, which impairs insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Obesity is a well-established risk factor for human cancer, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Immune dysfunction is commonly associated with obesity but whether compromised immune surveillance contributes to cancer susceptibility in individuals with obesity is unclear. Here we use a mouse model of diet-induced obesity to investigate tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cell responses in lean, obese, and previously obese hosts that lost weight through either dietary restriction or treatment with semaglutide. While both strategies reduce body mass, only dietary intervention restores T cell function and improves responses to immunotherapy. In mice exposed to a chemical carcinogen, obesity-related immune dysfunction leads to higher incidence of sarcoma development. However, impaired immunoediting in the obese environment enhances tumor immunogenicity, making the malignancies highly sensitive to immunotherapy. These findings offer insight into the complex interplay between obesity, immunity and cancer, and provide explanation for the obesity paradox observed in clinical immunotherapy settings.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Obesity in middle age increases AD risk and severity, which is alarming given that obesity prevalence peaks at middle age and obesity rates are accelerating worldwide. Midlife, but not late-life obesity increases AD risk, suggesting that this interaction is specific to preclinical AD. AD pathology begins in middle age, with accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ), hyperphosphorylated tau, metabolic decline, and neuroinflammation occurring decades before cognitive symptoms appear. We used a transcriptomic discovery approach in young adult (6.5 months old) male and female TgF344-AD rats that overexpress mutant human amyloid precursor protein and presenilin-1 and wild-type (WT) controls to determine whether inducing obesity with a high-fat/high-sugar “Western” diet during preclinical AD increases brain metabolic dysfunction in dorsal hippocampus (dHC), a brain region vulnerable to the effects of obesity and early AD. Analyses of dHC gene expression data showed dysregulated mitochondrial and neurotransmission pathways, and up-regulated genes involved in cholesterol synthesis. Western diet amplified the number of genes that were different between AD and WT rats and added pathways involved in noradrenergic signaling, dysregulated inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, and decreased intracellular lipid transporters. Importantly, the Western diet impaired dHC-dependent spatial working memory in AD but not WT rats, confirming that the dietary intervention accelerated cognitive decline. To examine later consequences of early transcriptional dysregulation, we measured dHC monoamine levels in older (13 months old) AD and WT rats of both sexes after long-term chow or Western diet consumption. Norepinephrine (NE) abundance was significantly decreased in AD rats, NE turnover was increased, and the Western diet attenuated the AD-induced increases in turnover. Collectively, these findings indicate obesity during prodromal AD impairs memory, potentiates AD-induced metabolic decline likely leading to an overproduction of cholesterol, and interferes with compensatory increases in NE transmission.

Project description:Abdominal obesity increases the risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). To elucidate the directional cell-type level biological mechanisms underlying the association between abdominal obesity and MASLD, we integrated adipose and liver single nucleus RNA-sequencing and bulk cis-expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) data with the UK Biobank genome-wide association study (GWAS) data using colocalization. Then we used colocalized cis-eQTL variants as instrumental variables in Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, followed by functional validation experiments on the target genes of the cis-eQTL variants. We identified 17 colocalized abdominal obesity GWAS variants, regulating 17 adipose cell-type marker genes. Incorporating these 17 variants into MR discovers a putative tissue-of-origin, cell-type-aware causal effect of abdominal obesity on MASLD consistently with multiple MR methods without significant evidence for pleiotropy or heterogeneity. Single cell data confirm the adipocyte-enriched mean expression of the 17 genes. Our cellular experiments across human adipogenesis identify risk variant -specific epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms. Knocking down two of the 17 genes, PPP2R5A and SH3PXD2B, shows a marked decrease in adipocyte lipidation and significantly alters adipocyte function and adipogenesis regulator genes, including DGAT2, LPL, ADIPOQ, PPARG, and SREBF1. Furthermore, the 17 genes capture a characteristic MASLD expression signature in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Overall, we discover a significant cell-type level effect of abdominal obesity on MASLD and trace its biological effect to adipogenesis (Lee et. al, eBioMedicine 2024).

Project description:We aimed to predict obesity risk with genetic data, specifically, obesity-associated gene expression profiles. Genetic risk score was computed. The genetic risk score was significantly correlated with BMI when an optimization algorithm was used. Linear regression and built support vector machine models predicted obesity risk using gene expression profiles and the genetic risk score with a new mathematical method.

Project description:Obesity is an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) although the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Dietary nutrients play a key role in both the prevention and promotion of CRC. While iron is an essential nutrient, excess iron is associated with carcinogenesis. Unlike the systemic compartment, the intestinal lumen lacks an efficient system to regulate iron. In conditions when dietary iron malabsorption and intestinal inflammation co-exist, greater luminal iron is associated with increased intestinal inflammation and a shift in the gut microbiota to more pro-inflammatory strains. However, treatments designed to reduce luminal, including diet restriction and chelation, are associated with lower intestinal inflammation and the colonization of protective gut microbes. Obesity is associated with inflammation-induced, hepcidin-mediated, iron metabolism dysfunction characterized by iron deficiency and dietary iron malabsorption. Obesity is also linked to intestinal inflammation. Currently, there is a fundamental gap in understanding how altered iron metabolism impacts CRC risk in obesity.
The investigator’s objective is to conduct a crossover controlled feeding trial of: 1) a "Typical American" diet with "high" heme/non-heme iron", 2) a "Typical American" diet with "low" iron, and 3) a Mediterranean diet with "high" non heme iron and examine effects on colonic and systemic inflammation and the gut microbiome.
