Project description:Obesity has emerged as a common disease worldwide. Risks of developing other metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes are also higher in obese population. However, current treatment options are limited. Here we discovered a new approach for mitigating obesity and metabolic disorders by targeting intestinal nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR). In mice with diet-induced obesity, NCoR deficiency in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) improved obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, corrected atherogenic dyslipidemia, and reduced hepatic steatosis. These effects were mediated through regulation of energy expenditure, energy harvest, and gut hormone secretion. Mechanistically, NCoR deficiency in IECs stimulated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) signaling pathway-mediated succinate production and thermogenesis. Intestinal cholesterol excretion was induced by derepression of intestinal liver X receptor (LXR), and triglyceride and fatty acid absorption in the upper intestine was reduced by disrupted bile acid synthesis and altered bile acid composition. In the distal intestine, increased fatty acid uptake stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and improved glycemic control.

Project description:Heme is the endogenous ligand for the constitutively repressive REV-ERB nuclear receptors, REV-ERBα (NR1D1) and REV-ERBβ (NR1D2), but how heme regulates REV-ERB activity remains unclear. While cellular studies indicate heme is required for the REV-ERBs to bind the corepressor NCoR and repress transcription, fluorescence-based biochemical assays and crystal structures suggest that heme displaces NCoR. Here, we found that heme artifactually influences detection of NCoR interaction in fluorescence-based assays. Using fluorescence-independent methods, including isothermal titration calorimetry, NMR spectroscopy, and XL-MS, we determined that heme remodels the thermodynamic profile of NCoR binding to REV-ERBβ ligand-binding domain (LBD) and directly increases LBD binding affinity for an NCoR interaction motif. We further report two crystal structures of REV-ERBβ LBD cobound to heme and NCoR peptides, which reveal the heme-dependent NCoR binding mode. By resolving previous contradictory biochemical, structural, and cellular studies, our findings should facilitate renewed progress toward understanding heme-dependent REV-ERB activity.

Project description:The thyroid hormone receptor (TR) has been proposed to regulate target genes in the absence of triiodothyronine (T3), through the recruitment of the corepressors, NCoR and SMRT. NCoR and SMRT may thus play a key role in both hypothyroidism and resistance to thyroid hormone, though this has never been tested in vivo. To accomplish this we developed mice that express in the liver a NCoR protein (L-NCoR∆ID) that cannot interact with the TR. L-NCoR∆ID mice develop normally, however when made hypothyroid the repression of many positively regulated T3-target genes is abrogated, demonstrating that NCoR plays a specific and sufficient role in repression by the unliganded TR. Remarkably, in the euthyroid state, expression of many T3-targets are also upregulated in L-NCoR∆ID mice, demonstrating that NCoR also determines the magnitude of the response to T3 in euthyroid animals. While positive T3 targets were upregulated in L-NCoR∆ID mice in the hypo and euthyroid state there was less effect seen on negatively regulated T3 target genes. Thus, NCoR is a specific regulator of T3-action in vivo and mediates the activity of the unliganded TR. Furthermore, NCoR may play a key role in determining the differences in individual responses to similar levels of circulating T3. Keywords: NCoR, thyroid hormone signaling, mouse liver, DNA Microarray To better assess the role of NCoR in positive and negative regulation we performed micorarray analysis of gene expression in the livers of euthyroid and hypothyroid control and L-NCoR∆ID mice.

Project description:Macrophage-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The corepressor NCoR interacts with inflammatory pathway genes in macrophages, suggesting that its removal would result in increased activity of inflammatory responses. Surprisingly, we find that macrophage-specific deletion of NCoR instead results in an anti-inflammatory phenotype along with robust systemic insulin sensitization in obese mice. We present evidence that de-repression of LXRs contributes to this paradoxical anti-inflammatory phenotype by causing increased expression of genes that direct biosynthesis of palmitoleic acid and M-OM-^I3 fatty acids. Remarkably, the increased M-OM-^I3 fatty acid levels primarily inhibit NF-M-NM-:B-dependent inflammatory responses by uncoupling NF-M-NM-:B binding and enhancer/promoter histone acetylation from subsequent steps required for pro-inflammatory gene activation. This provides a mechanism for the in vivo anti-inflammatory insulin sensitive phenotype observed in mice with macrophage-specific deletion of NCoR. Therapeutic methods to harness this mechanism could lead to a new approach to insulin sensitizing therapies. ChIP-Seq and Gro-Seq profiling was performed in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages treated as indicated.

We present evidence that de-repression of LXRs contributes to this paradoxical anti-inflammatory phenotype by causing increased expression of genes that direct biosynthesis of palmitoleic acid and ω3 fatty acids. Remarkably, the increased ω3 fatty acid levels primarily inhibit NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses by uncoupling NF-κB binding and enhancer/promoter histone acetylation from subsequent steps required for pro-inflammatory gene activation. This provides a mechanism for the in vivo anti-inflammatory insulin sensitive phenotype observed in mice with macrophage-specific deletion of NCoR.
