Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) expansion during e.g. obesity reduces oxygen availability in WAT in mice. Little is known on the adaptation of WAT to mild environmental oxygen restriction (OxR). Therefore, we studied metabolic adaptation to acute OxR in fasted, diet-induced moderately obese mice that were exposed to mild hypoxic (12% O2) or normoxic (20.9% O2) conditions for only 6 hours. Adaptation was assessed by determination of amino acids and (acyl)carnitines levels in serum and WAT, and by whole genome expression analysis in WAT. Adaptation was also assessed during the exposure using indirect calorimetry. We found that OxR reduced mitochondrial oxidation at whole-body level, as shown by a reduction in whole-body oxygen consumption and an increase in serum long-chain acylcarnitine levels. WAT did not seem to contribute to this serum profile since only short-chain acylcarnitines were increased in WAT and gene expression analysis indicated an increase in mitochondrial oxidation, based on coordinate down-regulation of Sirt4, Gpam and Chchd3/Minos3. In addition, OxR did not induce oxidative stress in obese WAT, but increased molecular pathways involved in cell growth and proliferation. OxR increased levels of tyrosine, lysine and ornithine in serum and of leucine/isoleucine in WAT. This study shows that OxR limits oxidative phosphorylation at whole-body level, but in WAT compensatory mechanisms seem to operate. The down-regulation of the mitochondria-related genes Sirt4, Gpam, and Chchd3 may be considered as a biomarker profile for WAT mitochondrial reprogramming in response to acute exposure to limited oxygen availability.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue in the body and mainly relies on mitochondrial oxidative metabolism for sustainable ATP production. Reduced oxygen availability, also known as hypoxia, can be caused by high altitude or pathology and impacts mitochondria. Whereas long-term hypoxia results in increased reliance on glycolysis, reduced fatty acid oxidation and a decreased skeletal muscle mass, the in vivo mechanisms of adaptation of skeletal muscle to acute hypoxia remain elusive. Therefore, we aimed to provide an integrated description of the response of the M. gastrocnemius to acute hypoxia. Fasted male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice were exposed to 12% oxygen representing normobaric hypoxia versus 21% oxygen (normoxia) for six hours (n=12 mice per group). Whole-body energy metabolism and the transcriptome response of the M. gastrocnemius mice was analyzed and confirmed by acylcarnitine determination and RT-qPCR. On whole-body level, six hours of hypoxia reduced energy expenditure, increased blood glucose and tended to further decrease the respiratory exchange ratio (RER). Whole genome transcriptome analysis revealed upregulation of the FOXO signalling pathway including an increased expression of Trib3, which was positively correlated with blood glucose. Apart from upregulation of Cpt1a, which negatively correlated with the RER, and SLC25a25 (Cact), fatty acid β-oxidation was not regulated. Together with significantly increased muscle C14 and C16-acylcarnitines this supports no increased fatty acid catabolism in muscle. In addition, the hypoxia-induced FOXO activation could also be connected to altered gene profiles related to fiber type switching, extracellular matrix remodelling, muscle differentiation and the denervation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). Conclusively, our results suggest that an acute, six hours exposure of mice to hypoxia impacts M. gastrocnemius via FOXO1, initiating alterations in skeletal muscle that may ultimately contribute to tissue remodelling. This supports an early role of hypoxia in tissue alterations in hypoxia-associated conditions such as aging and obesity. The observed impact of hypoxia on denervated NMJ is novel and warrants further investigation.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To understand the molecular pathways underlying the cardiac preconditioning effect of short-term caloric restriction (CR). BACKGROUND: Lifelong CR has been suggested to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease through a variety of mechanisms. However, prolonged adherence to a CR life-style is difficult. Here we show how short-term CR protects the mouse heart from ischemia. METHODS: Male 10-12 wk old C57bl/6 mice were randomly assigned to an ad libitum (AL) diet with free access to regular chow, or CR, receiving 30% less food over a period of 7 days (d), prior to myocardial infarction (MI) via permanent coronary ligation. Prior to MI (d8), the left ventricles (LV) of AL and CR mice were collected for Western blot, DNA and microRNA (miR) analyses. In separate groups, infarct size, cardiac hemodynamics and protein abundance of caspase 3 was measured at d2 post-MI. RESULTS: This short-term model of CR was associated with cardio-protection, as evidenced by decreased infarct size (18.5±2.4% vs. 26.6±1.7%, N=10/group; P=0.01). cDNA and miR profiles pre-MI (N=5/group) identified genes modulated by short-term CR to be associated with circadian clock, oxidative stress, immune function, apoptosis, metabolism, angiogenesis, cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix (ECM). Western blots pre-MI revealed CR-associated increases in phosphorylated Akt and GSK3ß, reduced levels of phosphorylated AMPK and mitochondrial related proteins PGC-1?, cytochrome C and cyclooxygenase (COX) IV, with no differences in the levels of phosphorylated eNOS or MAPK (ERK1/2; p38). CONCLUSIONS: Short-term CR for only 7d represents a preconditioning strategy that limits infarct size. It is associated with a unique gene and miR signature, including the activation of specific pro-survival kinases. These findings may have implications for therapeutic use of short-term CR. . Male 12 wk-old C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Charles River (Montreal, PQ, Canada) and maintained for at least 2 weeks before experimentation. Animals were randomly assigned to AL, CR and Lira groups with no initial differences in body weights. AL group mice were allowed ad libitum diet. Lira group mice were injected with Liraglutide (Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist) at a dose of 200 µg/Kg i.p., twice daily for 7 days which is a mild weight-loss inducing dose and had access to ad libitum food and water. CR group mice were put on a Caloric restriction diet (30% less than normal ad libitum caloric intake) for 7 days to induce weight loss comparable to Lira group mice. Mice for CR and AL were individually caged and their food intake was measured everyday between 10-11 am for 1 week to calculate the average daily food intake. CR mice were fed 30% less than the calculated mean daily AL food consumption. CR cages were inspected daily for any remaining food, and transferred to a new cage every day. For CR group, pre-weighed mouse chow pellets were placed in cages between 10-11 am every day. Body weights were recorded between 10-11 am before and after the 7 day study period. For pre-ischemic assessments, animals (n=5/group/assessment) were sacrificed on day-8 (pre-MI), hearts were immediately extracted, washed in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), with LV free walls dissected, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80o C.

Project description:To provide a robust understanding of a transcriptomic change by short-term CR at body fat of mice, we applied three serial strengths of CR to mice including 15%, 30%, and 45% reduction of carbon source. Using Affymetrix mouse 1.0 ST array platform, we obtained and analyzed the transcriptome data for significantly changed genes in expression. Here, we identified 446 genes and categorized the genes based on their biological roles. We observed gradual down-regulation of several signaling pathways including insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1, epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and canonical Wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site (Wnt) signaling according to the CR strengths. Many genes related to structural feature including extracellular matrix (ECM), cell adhesion and cytoskeleton were also down-regulated with a strong correlation to the serial CR treatments. Furthermore, genes for cell cycle and adipogenesis were down-regulated. According to previous studies, these are target functions of the aforementioned four signaling pathways. On the other hand, the genes for specific metabolic features including tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) exhibited a transcriptional increase. In addition, adipose tissue expansion markers such as leptin, Mesoderm specific transcript (Mest) and Secreted frizzled-related sequence protein 5 (Sfrp5), and most genes for transport and immune response showed a down-regulation by CR. Comparing gene expression profiles to understand transcriptomic changes of adipose tissue by serial strength (15%, 30%, and 45%) of short-term (10 weeks) caloric restriction to young age (18 weeks) mice (n=3 in each group).

Project description:Calorie restriction (CR) extends life span and ameliorates age-related pathologies in most species studied, yet the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. Using mouse skeletal muscle as a model, we show that CR acts in part by enhancing the function of tissue-specific stem cells. Even short-term CR significantly enhanced stem cell availability and activity in the muscle of young and old animals, in concert with an increase in mitochondrial abundance and induction of conserved metabolic and longevity regulators. Moreover, CR enhanced endogenous muscle repair and CR initiated in either donor or recipient animals improved the contribution of donor cells to regenerating muscle after transplant. These studies indicate that metabolic factors play a critical role in regulating stem cell function and that this regulation can influence the efficacy of recovery from injury and the engraftment of transplanted cells.
