Project description:Purpose: To find the difference between leptin-overexpressing and wt pig. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) mRNA profiles of 6-month-old wild-type (WT) and leptin-overexpressing pig were generated by deep sequencing. Sequencing libraries were constructed according to the protocol for the Illumina TruSeq Sample preparation kit. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina X Ten sequencer. Library construction and sequencing were performed at the Genergy Biotech Co., Ltd. (Shanghai). Results: RNA-seq was performed to detect the transcriptomic changes in PBMCs in the transgenic leptin pigs. With 2-folds change and p<0.05 threshold, we found that 84 transcripts were upregulated, and 124 transcripts were downregulated in the transgenic leptin pigs. Conclusions: The leptin-overexpressing pigs exhibited remarkable resemblance to human SLE in multiple aspects of the disease.

Project description:Infertility is a growing global health concern affecting millions of couples worldwide. Both overweight and underweight individuals face reproductive issues, resulting in infertility. Due to small size and short life, mice are not necessarily suitable animal models for human infertility. While, pigs having large size, anatomical and physiological similarities with human are considered as more ideal animal model of human disease. Leptin is a well-known adipokine that serves as an endocrine signal between adiposity and fertility. However, the exact mechanisms underlying leptin's effects on reproductive function remain unclear. To shed light on this, our study focused on pigs genetically engineered to overexpress leptin. These leptin-overexpressing pigs exhibited several reproductive abnormalities, including reduced body weight and size, decreased back fat thickness, and displayed late onset of puberty, and irregular estrous behavior characterized by increased inter-estrous interval and more breeding attempts until pregnancy. This reproductive impairment in leptin pigs was followed by hormonal imbalances and altered steroidogenesis. Bulk RNA sequencing of the ovaries revealed neutrophilic infiltration followed by upregulation of inflammation related genes. To gain a deeper understanding of the cellular levels, we employed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), and found that leptin overexpression triggered immune response, suppressed follicle development and luteinization, imposing metabolism dysfunction and hormone imbalance in ovary. Further, trends of phenotypical infertility symptoms and endocrine changes in underweight female patients mirrored the alterations observed in our leptin pigs. These findings suggest that leptin-overexpressing pigs could serve as a valuable animal model for studying infertility and investigating potential therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Liver fibrosis occurs during chronic liver disease. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure and often requires liver transplantation. However, due to the lack of human models, mechanisms underlining the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis remain unclear. Recent studies implicated a central role of deranged lipid metabolism in its pathogenesis. In this study, we generated LEPTIN-deficient (LEPTIN-/-) pigs using zinc finger nuclease technology to investigate the mechanisms of liver fibrosis associated with obesity. The LEPTIN-/- pigs showed increased body fat and significant insulin resistance by 12 months of age. To resemble non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, LEPTIN-/- pig developed the phenotypic features of fatty liver, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatic fibrosis with age. Meanwhile, LEPTIN absence reduced phosphorylation of JAK2-STAT3 and AMPK. The alteration of JAK2-STAT3 enhanced fatty acid β-oxidation, whereas inactivation of AMPK led to mitochondrial autophagy, and both contributed to increased oxidative stress in hepatocytes. Although Leptin deletion in the rat liver altered JAK2-STAT3 phosphorylation, it activated the AMPK pathway and prevented liver fibrogenesis in contrast with the LEPTIN-/- pig. To our knowledge, the LEPTIN-/- pig provides the first model recapitulating the full pathogenesis of NAFLD and its progression toward liver fibrosis. The activity of AMPK signaling pathway suggests a potential target for development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD.

Project description:Wild type (C57BL/6J) mice were divided in control (W), leptin-treated (E) and pair-fed (F). Obese (ob/ob) mice were divided in control (O), leptin-treated (L) and pair-fed (P). Control (W and O) and pair-fed animals (F and P) received vehicle (PBS), while E and L groups were intraperitoneally administrated with leptin for 28 days. Control (W and O) and leptin-treated (E and L) groups were provided with water and food ad libitum with, while daily food intake of pair fed (F and P) groups were matched to the amount eaten by the leptin-treated groups (E and L) the day before to discriminate the inhibitory effect of leptin on appetite.

Project description:We employed translating ribosome affinity purification followed by RNA sequencing to isolate and analyze mRNA from the hypothalamic LepRb neurons of wild-type or leptin-deficient (Lepob/ob) mice treated with vehicle or exogenous leptin. Although the expression of most of the genes encoding the neuropeptides commonly considered to represent the main targets of leptin action were altered only following chronic leptin deprivation, our analysis revealed other transcripts that were coordinately regulated by leptin under multiple treatment conditions. Among these, acute leptin treatment increased expression of the transcription factor Atf3 in LepRb neurons.

Project description:Genome wide association studies (GWAS) in obesity have identified a large number of noncoding loci located near genes expressed in the central nervous system. However, due to the difficulties in isolating and characterizing specific neuronal subpopulations, very few obesity-associated SNPs have been functionally characterized. Leptin responsive neurons in the hypothalamus are essential in controlling energy homeostasis and body weight. Here, we show that by combining FACS-sorting of leptin-responsive hypothalamic neuron nuclei with genomic approaches (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq), we can provide a comprehensive map of leptin-response specific regulatory elements, several of which overlap obesity-associated GWAS variants. Further demonstrating the robustness of our leptin-response neuron regulome, we functionally characterize a novel enhancer near Socs3, a leptin response-associated transcription factor. Combined, our results provide a comprehensive map of active genomic regions in leptin-responsive neurons and present a blueprint for functionally characterizing obesity-associated SNPs in the hypothalamus.
