Project description:Objective: Benzbromarone (BBR) is an effective uric acid-lowering drug, and studies have shown that BBR can exacerbate hepatic steatosis in obese individuals. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: Primary hepatocytes isolated from C57/BL6 mice were cultured in vitro, and a high-fat culture model was simulated with 20mM oleic acid (OA) treatment. OA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were mixed at a ratio of 1:4, pre-treated at 37°C for 1-2 hours, and then co-incubated with primary hepatocytes for 16 hours. The in vitro experiments were divided into four groups: control (BSA), control treatment group (BSA+BBR), high-fat group (OA), and high-fat treatment group (OA+BBR). After 16 hours of treatment, intracellular triglyceride (TAG) content was measured, and Bodipy staining was used to observe the number and morphological changes of lipid droplets. RNA-seq analysis was conducted to assess changes in the gene expression profile of hepatocytes with BBR treatment under BSA and OA conditions. Results: BBR significantly increased the intracellular TAG content in primary hepatocytes treated with OA, while no significant increase was observed in the BSA treatment group. Bodipy staining experiments also confirmed that BBR led to an increase in the number and size of lipid droplets under OA treatment. Transcriptomic data revealed that under both BSA and OA conditions, BBR upregulated the expression of a large number of genes related to lipid synthesis, which were associated with the activation of the PPARγ signaling pathway. Conclusion: BBR promotes the expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis in primary hepatocytes by activating PPARγ, leading to specific hepatic lipid accumulation under high-fat conditions.

Project description:Objective: Benzbromarone (BBR) is an effective uric acid-lowering drug. However, it can induce severe liver damage in some patients. Studies have shown that BBR specifically exacerbates hepatic steatosis in obese individuals, leading to aggravated liver injury. The exact mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unclear. Methods: db/db mice were divided into four groups: Control, BBR administration (BBR), Pparg knockdown (Pparg-KD), and BBR administration with Pparg knockdown (BBR + Pparg-KD). One week after AAV8-shRNA-Pparg virus injection, mice were orally administered BBR for four weeks, and changes in blood glucose and body weight were measured. Subsequently, samples were collected, and plasma lipid levels, hepatic lipid content, and liver function parameters were determined. RNA-seq was performed to assess changes in the hepatic gene expression profile and analyze the protective effect of PPARγ knockdown on BBR-induced drug-induced liver injury. Results: Mice in the BBR group exhibited more severe levels of plasma lipids, hepatic lipids, and liver function parameters compared to the Control group. However, mice in the BBR + Pparg-KD group showed significant improvements in these indicators compared to the BBR group. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that BBR administration upregulated the expression of various lipid synthesis-related genes, primarily associated with the PPAR signaling pathway. Furthermore, PPARγ knockdown reversed the increased expression of these lipid synthesis genes. This suggests that PPARγ knockdown has a significant protective effect against BBR-induced drug-induced liver injury. Conclusion: Hepatocyte-specific knockdown of PPARγ can protect against BBR-induced exacerbation of hepatic steatosis and liver injury by inhibiting the promotion of lipid synthesis through PPARγ activation.

Project description:Objective：Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), a phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing enzyme, has been found to be involved in cellular lipid metabolism. However, how PLD1 involves in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and thus affects non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) has not been explicitly explored. Method: NAFLD is induced in hepatocyte-specific Pld1 knockout (Pld1(H)-KO) mice or control (Pld1-Flox) mice with a high fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Plasma glucose and lipid levels, liver lipid and function parameters and inflammation- and fibrogenesis-related gene expression levels were studied. Changes in lipid composition of liver were detected by lipidomic analyses. Changes in gene expression profile were detected by mRNA sequencing. In vitro, alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) cells were incubated with sodium palmitate (SP) to explore the mechanisms of PLD1 on development of NAFLD. The protein levels of PLD1 and CD36 were detected in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients. Finally, the therapeutic effect of NAFLD by inhibiting PLD with 5-Fluoro-2-indolyl deschlorohalopemide (FIPI) was examined. Results: PLD1 expression levels were increased in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients and the hepatocytes of HFD-induced mice. Compared with Pld1-Flox mice, Pld1(H)-KO mice exhibited lower plasma glucose and lipids levels, and decreased lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis related gene expression levels in the liver tissues after HFD feeding. Inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 significantly altered lipid composition, especially phosphatidic acids (PA) and lyso-PAs (LPA) levels in the liver tissues after NAFLD. Transcriptomic analysis showed that hepatocyte specific deficiency of PLD1 mainly decreased CD36 expression levels in the NAFLD liver tissues, which was confirmed at the protein and gene expression levels. In vitro, inhibition of PLD1 markedly decreased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in SP treated AML12 cells. Furthermore, PA, the downstream product catalyzed by PLD1, increased the expression levels of CD36 and lipid accumulation in vitro, which was reversed by PPARγ antagonist. These suggested that PPARγ played an important role in transcriptional regulation of CD36 expression after PA stimulation. Finally, PLD inhibitor FIPI had significant therapeutic effect on HFD-induced NAFLD. Conclusion: Hepatocyte-specific deficiency of PLD1 ameliorates lipid accumulation and NAFLD development by inhibiting PPARγ/CD36 pathway conducted by PA.

Project description:The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is the master regulator of adipocyte differentiation, and mutations that interfere with PPARγ function cause lipodystrophy. Structural studies indicate that PPARγ domains engage in several intra- and inter-moleuclar interactions; however, how these interactions modulate the ability of PPARγ to activate target genes in a cellular context is currently poorly understood. Here we analysed the transcriptional potential of R212Q and E379K two previously uncharacterised lipodystrophy-associated PPARγ mutants that are located in distinct PPARγ domains but are both predicted to affect intermolecular interactions. Using a combination of biochemical and genome-wide approaches we show that these mutations impair binding to an overlapping subset of enhancers that are less accessible and specifically require PPARγ for chromatin remodeling. Based on these findings we propose a model in which recruitment of PPARγ to chromatin is determined by several intermolecular interfaces. Furthermore, our data exemplify that relatively subtle molecular defects in transcription factors are sufficient to significantly affect enhancer binding and thereby transcriptional output.

Project description:PPARγ promotes adipogenesis while Wnt proteins inhibit adipogenesis. However, the mechanisms that control expression of these positive and negative master regulators of adipogenesis remain incompletely understood. By genome-wide histone methylation profiling in preadipocytes, we find that among gene loci encoding adipogenesis regulators, histone methyltransferase (HMT) G9a-mediated repressive epigenetic mark H3K9me2 is enriched on the entire PPARγ locus. H3K9me2 and G9a levels decrease during adipogenesis, which correlates inversely with induction of PPARγ. Removal of H3K9me2 by G9a deletion enhances chromatin opening and binding of adipogenic transcription factor C/EBP-beta to PPARγ promoter, which promotes PPARγ expression. Interestingly, G9a represses PPARγ expression in an HMT activity-dependent manner but facilitates Wnt10a expression independent of its enzymatic activity. Consistently, deletion of G9a or inhibiting G9a HMT activity promotes adipogenesis. Finally, deletion of G9a in mouse adipose tissues increases adipogenic gene expression and tissue weight. Thus, by inhibiting PPARγ expression and facilitating Wnt10a expression, G9a represses adipogenesis. Examination of gene expression changes in G9a KO brown preadipocytes

Project description:Here we report, for the first time, the acute effects of the synthetic PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone on the transcriptional network of PPARγ in adipocytes. Treatment with Rosiglitazone for 1 hour leads to acute transcriptional activation as well as repression of a number of genes as determined by genome-wide RNA polymerase II occupancy. Unlike what has been shown for many other nuclear receptors, agonist treatment does not lead to major changes in the occurrence of PPARγ binding sites. However, rosiglitazone promotes PPARγ occupancy at many preexisting sites, and this is paralleled by increased occupancy of the mediator subunit MED1. The increase in PPARγ and MED1 binding is correlated with an increase in transcription of nearby genes indicating that rosiglitazone, in addition to activating the receptor, also promotes its association with DNA, and that this is causally linked to recruitment of mediator and activation of genes. Notably, both Rosiglitazone-activated and -repressed genes are induced during adipogenesis. However, Rosiglitazone-activated genes are markedly more associated with PPARγ than repressed genes and are highly dependent on PPARγ for expression in adipocytes. By contrast, repressed genes are associated with the other key adipocyte transcription factor CCAAT-Enhancer binding protein (C/EBPα), and their expression is more dependent on C/EBPα. This suggests that the relative occupancies of PPARγ and C/EBPα are critical for whether genes will be induced or repressed by PPARγ agonist. Examination of binding of PPARγ, C/EBPα, RNAPII, CBP and MED1 in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with 1 μM Rosiglitazone and/or 0.1% DMSO for 1 hour.

Project description:PPARγ is known for its anti-inflammatory actions in macrophages. However, which macrophage populations express PPARγ in vivo and how it regulates tissue homeostasis in the steady state and during inflammation is not completely understood. We show that lung and spleen macrophages constitutively expressed PPARγ, while other macrophage populations did not. Recruitment of monocytes to sites of inflammation was associated with induction of PPARγ as they differentiated to macrophages. Its absence in these macrophages led to failed resolution of inflammation, characterized by persistent, low-level recruitment of leukocytes. Conversely, PPARγ agonists supported an earlier cessation in leukocyte recruitment during resolution of acute inflammation and likewise suppressed monocyte recruitment to chronically inflamed atherosclerotic vessels. In the steady state, PPARγ deficiency in macrophages had no obvious impact in the spleen but profoundly altered cellular lipid homeostasis in lung macrophages. Reminiscent of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, LysM-Cre x PPARγflox/flox mice displayed mild leukocytic inflammation in the steady-state lung and succumbed faster to mortality upon infection with S. pneumoniae. Surprisingly, this mortality was not due to overly exuberant inflammation, but instead to impaired bacterial clearance. Thus, in addition to its anti-inflammatory role in promoting resolution of inflammation, PPARγ sustains functionality in lung macrophages and thereby has a pivotal role in supporting pulmonary host defense. The two major subsets of monocytes (Ly-6C+ and Ly-6Clo) from 12-week old C57Bl/6 mice were sorted and the RNA extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® 430 2.0 arrays. We pooled leukocytes from 5 mice for each sort and sorted 3 to 4 separate times for 3 to 4 biological replicates.

Project description:Genome wide gene expression was determined in paired samples of OA affected and preserved cartilage of the same joint using microarray analysis for 33 patients of the RAAK-study. Among the 1717 genes that were significantly different expressed between OA affected and preserved cartilage we found significant enrichment for genes involved in skeletal development (e.g. TNFRSF11B and FRZB). Also several inflammatory genes such as CD55, PTGES and TNFAIP6, previously identified in within-joint analyses as well as in analyses comparing preserved cartilage from OA affected joints versus healthy cartilage were among the top genes. A notable new gene was NGF, highly up-regulated in OA cartilage. To identify gene expression profiles associated with OA processes in articular cartilage and determine pathways responsive to the disease process gene expression profiles of paired preserved and OA affected cartilage samples of the same joint were determined.
